The massive explosion turned the attacking group into ashes, leaving them no time to escape.
Taking advantage of the pause to check, Luo Fan sent his clone forward again, found the other party's trail, and continued the pursuit.
Before long, they actually saw quite a few figures frantically fleeing in a certain direction, clearly unprepared.
"Those guys probably didn't expect us to chase them this far! Charge! Kill these traitors!" Luo Fan shouted excitedly.
The Duke was furious at the moment, and upon seeing his target, he unleashed a barrage of ice spikes with incredible speed and precision.
As a result, the opponent blocked it with a shield of light, and a woman's voice came from behind.
Taking advantage of this moment, the Duke also gave chase.
"Duke Simmons, we have no intention of conflict with you. How about we part ways here? Otherwise, if things turn out badly, no one will benefit."
The person was also holding a very luxurious-looking scroll, which seemed to possess terrifying magical power.
"Hey, it's the city lord's wife! We actually caught up with her!" Xiaoxue typed out truthfully.
"Xue'er, there are some things you don't need to type out!"
"Oh, that woman is a bad person?"
"Hmm, you like to steal things, and you even want to encourage your stupid son to bully your master Daisy."
"That was definitely a big bad guy!"
While the Duke hesitated, Xiaoxue's magic struck first. Several icicles that flew towards the Duke exploded on the spot, turning into countless small ice cones that scattered in all directions, startling the Third Madam so much that she crushed the scroll in her hand.
It was merely a protective barrier. A massive barrier enveloped them, completely isolating them from the surrounding magic.
"It's over!" Luo Fan vaguely heard the other party's voice.
The Duke also realized what was happening, brandishing his staff and launching a fierce attack, with the guards following behind him also joining in.
"Simmons, you forced me to this!" The woman then took out several exquisite bottles and handed them to the attendant beside her. She then took out a small crystal and swallowed it directly.
"Stop!" The Duke had already recognized what it was: pure magic milk and a tiny magic milk crystal.
The light screen hadn't disappeared; it remained in place, but inside the light screen was a completely different scene.
The once beautiful servant's face turned ashen, and her limbs began to contort. Meanwhile, the Third Madam's body continued to grow larger, evolving completely into a demonic beast.
"Simmons, die!" A massive amount of magic energy gathered in her gaping maw, and a light-based spell was condensing, even illuminating the sky.
"Holy crap, does it have to be this intense! How did this woman turn into Godzilla?" Luo Fan muttered to himself as he saw the beam of light burst forth and shatter the barrier.
"Get out of the way!" The Duke quickly ordered the ice wolf to move, but Xiao Xue and Luo Fan had already escaped.
A circular beam of light, several meters wide, struck, carving a huge crater in the ground that stretched into the distance. Several guards who couldn't dodge in time vanished instantly.
"Holy crap, that Kamehameha is amazing!" Taking advantage of the moment of escape, Luo Fan immediately commanded his clone to rush over.
Godzilla's skin was not yet fully formed; it was somewhat cumbersome and quite fragile. Its attendants, too, had undergone a transformation, becoming neither human nor ghost, and were swallowed whole by Godzilla.
Piercing through her skin, Luo Fan slipped inside. He was still thinking about that crystal; it was a valuable item, and this woman couldn't possibly digest it so quickly.
Following the concentration gradient of the magic milk, Luo Fan gradually approached her stomach and found the crystal that was gradually dissolving, and it seemed that there were signs of magic crystal forming.
He smashed the slowly forming magic crystal, took the magic milk crystal, and continued upwards.
The battle outside continued, with the Duke brandishing his staff and relentlessly attacking the mountain of flesh in front of him.
The Third Madam, who had already lost her way, recklessly unleashed her magic, constantly attacking the Duke, but the strength of her magic was getting weaker and weaker.
As for the others, they all retreated to the side to carry out long-range attacks.
"I never thought that humans would actually turn into magical beasts after eating the magic milk!" Luo Fan rummaged around inside for a while longer, found a ring, and then made a quick escape.
As a result, the Duke then pulled out another scroll and hurled it at the monster, completely freezing it as it gradually lost its strength, and even adding an ice explosion.
With another loud bang, all the guards, including those absorbed by the mountain of flesh, were blasted into ice crystals.
The guards nearby were still shaken, but when they saw that the giant monster had been killed, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Only the Duke felt a bit of a headache; this time, too much of his resources had been wasted, what a damn loss!
Fortunately, Luo Fan ran fast; otherwise, sacrificing his clone for nothing would have been a huge loss. He examined the ring but found nothing particularly useful to him. He took the ghost bat blood from it before handing it to the Duke.
After confirming that there was a large amount of magic milk inside, the Duke finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Luo Fan!"
"I don't care about those magical breasts! And those money, those low-level scrolls, all sorts of messy documents."
"Go back and check on the situation over there!" That was all Xiaoxue typed.
The Duke then sent men to take inventory and clean up the scene, while he himself led his men toward Qingxin Lake.
The battle by the lake was drawing to a close. Many adventurers and city guards had lost their lives, and the scene was quite tragic. Even the city lord and Joseph were covered in blood.
After the Duke returned, following Luo Fan's original plan, he caught a few more hidden shadow crocodiles before ending the battle.
"She's actually from the Mingguang Cult! She's been hiding it so well!" The city lord finally understood his wife's true background after seeing some documents.
"Please accept my condolences. She consumed the Demon Milk Crystal, and I had to act! Otherwise, once she fully matures, it will be even more difficult to kill her."
"It's alright, she deserved it. Luckily you got the ring back, I'll make up for your loss this time."
"You're too kind. We have a lot to do with Luo Fan; his sense of smell is very keen."
“Let’s go back and talk about it; these wounded soldiers still need treatment!” Joseph interjected.
"Hmm, let's treat them first." With that, the city lord took out several healing scrolls from his ring.
The city of Sacred Heart remained peaceful at night, unaffected by the incident.
When Luo Fan and Xiao Xue returned to the Duke's mansion, Ai Li and Daisy were still awake and had not meditated.
"Alice, Daisy, we're so grateful to Luo Fan and Xiao Xue this time, otherwise we would have been in trouble."
"Hehe, it's what we should do. I didn't expect they could actually help you," Daisy said with a smile, her anxiety subsiding.
"Quick, where's the reward?" A message broke the warm atmosphere.
He handed over a magic bag before leaving, as the remaining cleanup would require his participation.
"Hehe, I've made a killing again this time. I didn't expect the city lord to provide a bottle of mid-grade dark demon blood. Although it's only two drops, the energy it contains is far better than demon milk."
"Dark Demon Blood?" Ellie was also somewhat surprised. Beasts called demons are usually very powerful, let alone a mid-level one.
"Yes, I'm going to have a good taste of it." After saying that, Luo Fan tossed a magic bag to Ellie and then slipped back to his guest room.
"What's this?"
"I don't want the compensation they offered!"
Ellie took the bag, opened it, and wow, it was almost full of gold coins.
"So much money!" Daisy's eyes widened, sparkling.
“Xiaoxue also played a role. Daisy, we split it equally. Anyway, Luo Fan and Xiaoxue don’t care about it.”
"OK!"
