Chapter 377 Mu He, with a Death Wish
"The Grand Steward of Tiger City has appeared! And he's even clashed with that brat Jiang Han at the museum."
As he spoke, Han Ji walked outside. Upon hearing this, Zhu Meng, Lu Xu, Du Xiao, and the others could no longer remain seated. They followed Han Ji to the observation deck atop the Clock Tower Magic Association and then looked towards the direction of the museum.
After Jiang Han and his companions fully engaged with Mu He and the others, the entire museum came under the control of Si Ye.
"Heavenly Flame Funeral!!" Zhu Meng exclaimed in shock and anger upon seeing the night sky above the museum illuminated by fiery clouds.
After issuing the purple alert, Zhu Meng and other high-ranking officials in the ancient capital began to set up temporary shelters in various parts of the inner city.
Although the museum is only medium-sized among the thousands of temporary shelters, it is planned to accommodate 7,000 people. Now, a fiery cloud, representing the Tianyan Funeral, has appeared in the sky above the museum, which is a temporary shelter. How can Zhu Meng, with his hot temper, not be angry?
The Heavenly Flame Funeral might not seem like much to a high-level mage, but most people in the museum are just ordinary people!
"What was that Jiang brat thinking? Doesn't he know the museum is a temporary shelter?" Zhu Meng cursed.
Zhu Meng then spread his fiery wings and flew rapidly toward the museum. Han Ji, Fei Jiao, and dozens of guard mages followed closely behind, while Lu Xu, Du Xiao, Li Yujian, and others stayed behind at the Clock Tower Magic Association.
Logically, such matters should be handled by the Imperial Guards, but Zhu Meng has a fiery temper and is rather impatient. Without thinking, he charged straight in.
Meanwhile, on the museum rooftop, as various spells rained down on the skeleton soldiers, swarms of them were reduced to countless fragments of bone in the magical bombardment.
The surviving skeleton soldiers did not charge fearlessly at Mu He and his group, but instead tried their best to deflect the magic from the rooftops, after all, there were still thousands of people hidden in the museum.
Mid-level spells are manageable; the skeletons can withstand them with their numerical advantage. But Heavenly Flame Funeral is different; it's not something the skeletons can stop.
Jiang Han even condensed a thick layer of ice on the eaves, and on top of the ice was an energy barrier constructed by the Thunder Dragon Armguard. With these two layers of defense, they barely managed to withstand various magic spells, while Mo Fan was beaten into a sorry state by dozens of cursed beast demons.
It wasn't that Jiang Han and Mo Fan were weak in combat, but rather that one of them had to be distracted by maintaining the museum's defenses, while the other had to prevent dozens of cursed beasts from getting close. For this reason, the magic also summoned the Swift Star Wolf and Little Flame Princess to provide support.
"Jiang Han, this can't go on. Is there any way to break this deadlock?" Mo Fan turned to Jiang Han and asked.
"Yes, that is, to summon Xue Ling, but I'm currently busy," Jiang Han said helplessly.
If Jiang Han could summon the little fox, he could indeed break the current situation. However, Jiang Han not only had to use ice magic to maintain the stability of the museum, but also had to use the Thunder Dragon Armguard to build an energy barrier to resist the attacks from Mu He and the others.
"Isn't that obvious? Isn't there any other way?" Mo Fan said irritably.
"Let's wait for reinforcements. I'm sure some Royal Guard mages will arrive soon," Jiang Han said, pursing his lips.
After several magical attacks from those scum of the Black Vatican, the walls of the museum were already covered with cracks. If Jiang Han hadn't used ice magic to maintain the stability of the museum, the people hiding inside would have been buried alive.
As long as the people below don't evacuate, Jiang Han won't be able to deal with Mu He and the others.
That's why Jiang Han and Mo Fan were in such a sorry state. Otherwise, Jiang Han would have killed those high-ranking blue-robed stewards long ago. Just summoning Xue Ling would have been enough to give them a hard time, not to mention the powerful weapons like Long Da and Long Er.
"Jiang Han, I actually know that Mo Fan no longer has the Earthly Sacred Spring. He lured me out simply to find out Salang's identity, but do you think I would tell you?"
"The reason I came here today is to get rid of you two troublemakers, so that you won't ruin our plans in the future."
Actually, this wasn't Mu He's real goal. Getting rid of Jiang Han and Mo Fan would be ideal, but if he could, he would negotiate with Han Ji through them. As for the bargaining chips, they would naturally be the millions of people in the city.
He wanted to use this negotiation to secure Salang's safety. As for him and the dozen or so men who came with him, they never thought they would return alive, let alone reveal Salang's identity.
After all, in Muhe's heart, Salang was the true god who controlled death on earth!
