Morova was quicker to react and immediately noticed the elf sisters in the distance. "Xi Luo, be careful," he said.

At that moment, anyone could tell that the elf sisters were the ones responsible for the massacre in the town. Especially the dark elf girl, Ye Ge, who was still holding a massive and imposing Tiger Soul Demon Blade. The blood on the blade had not yet dried, and the purple aura around it was still steaming. The killing intent of the blade was almost boiling out of control.

Xi Luo quickly spotted the two elf girls and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Huh? Isn't that the elf sisters? They were with Du Xifa, weren't they? So why are they attacking this small town... No, wait... Morova, look at that blade. Although the color is different, the shape is definitely the 'Tiger Soul'..."

"'Tiger Soul'? Isn't that the weapon of the Fen Dan Belo werewolf lord? Does this have anything to do with him?" Morova also realized the severity of the situation.

Both of them had seen the 'Tiger Soul Blade' on the battlefield before, in the hands of the werewolf Chen Xuanfeng. However, Morova had never had the chance to confront Chen Xuanfeng directly, whereas Xi Luo had fought him head-on, so he recognized the blade earlier.

As they were puzzled, suddenly a loud "boom" echoed as the heavily damaged Hua Yin Tower finally collapsed. Xi Luo, with his sharp eyes, immediately spotted a falling body amidst the debris of the collapsing tower. Being from the Temple of Light, Xi Luo couldn't just stand by and watch. He quickly activated the "Saint Ice Thorn Aura," slowing down the falling rocks around him, and leaped forward to catch the falling body.

"Hey, who are you? What happened here?" Xi Luo asked the young female mage he had just saved. Despite her severe injuries, he used a healing light spell to stabilize her wounds.

"Cough... enemies... attacked the Magic Tower... killed my teacher... my teacher was a forbidden spell caster... they're after the 'forbidden spell mark'... a friend of my teacher, another forbidden spell caster, took the crystals of two people and escaped... the enemies are chasing them... their destination is an underground ruin beneath the sea..." The female mage, though gravely injured and weakened, was still able to explain the situation clearly in broken sentences, demonstrating her sharp mind.

Xi Luo and Morova, who already knew they were dealing with forbidden spell casters this time, immediately understood the gravity of the situation. The transfer of the forbidden spell mark was an earth-shattering event, no matter who was behind it. They immediately thought of the elf sisters' presence and suspected that their acquaintances, 'Du Xifa and his sister Li Lin,' and their group, were responsible. Considering their strength, it was entirely possible they were behind the attack. And with the appearance of the werewolf's weapon here, the situation was worse than they had initially thought.

"They haven't moved yet; the passage should be right behind them. Go!" Xi Luo cast another healing light spell on the female mage and immediately drew his "Hero Sword" from his back, joining Morova in the attack.

The elf sisters were already prepared, standing in formation. The two sisters, without saying a word, faced the enemies with a blade and a bow, unleashing powerful attacks.

Knowing that one of their enemies was a sword saint, Chen Xuanfeng had no plans to let the elf sisters face them on their own. At that moment, Xue Li, with a black gem ring on her hand, flashed a light, and a massive shadow, almost half the size of the Magic Tower, appeared at the entrance of the passage. It was the super magical beast that Chen Xuanfeng had recently subdued—the Black Gold Tree Demon.

Super magical beasts come in many types, each with its own special powers, so their combat strength can't be generalized. However, raw power could still provide a rough comparison. A newly promoted sword saint was roughly equal in basic strength to a low-tier super magical beast. If you factored in the super magical beast's physical strength, the sword saint's divine weapon, wisdom, and skill, a human sword saint who had advanced with the help of a divine weapon was fully capable of overpowering a low or even mid-tier super magical beast. However, victory wasn't guaranteed to be quick, and capturing or defeating the opponent would require considering factors such as characteristics, experience, and terrain.

Although the Black Gold Tree Demon was a creation of the Twelve Sages, its combat configuration was more perfect than naturally occurring super magical beasts. However, its birth was an accident, leaving it lacking in combat wisdom and experience. On the other hand, Morova, the newly appointed "Flame Phoenix Knight," was a genius warrior who had been fighting since childhood. Although his mastery of sacred domain powers was not yet perfect, with the 'Ten Realms Crimson Lotus Sword,' one of the Ten Great Divine Swords, he was more than capable of overpowering this newly formed wood-type super magical beast.

Fortunately, Chen Xuanfeng had already considered this. He left the super magical beast behind not to use it as the main force, but to leverage one of its innate abilities—energy manipulation.

Golden Tree guards can control all energy within their range, a super ability inherited from the World Tree. The Black Gold Tree Demon, designed after the Golden Tree guards, was created with this ability as its core. Not only did it surpass the prototype Golden Tree Demon in strength, but its energy control ability was also far superior, with a control range and intensity several times that of the original.

"Meteor Arrow Technique—Million Meteor Storm Arrows!"

Xue Li, equipped with two epic items, leaped onto the super magical beast as soon as it appeared. At that moment, the "Dream Star Crown" on her head glowed dozens of times brighter, and the silver star power could be seen with the naked eye, shooting down from the void and converging on her, forming countless brilliant light rings around her. At the same time, the power of the "Sighing Holy Bow" increased dramatically, and the star arrows she shot were ten times more powerful and numerous than before. The dense and violent barrage was no less destructive than that of an official "Arrow God." Even a dragon would be riddled with holes from such an attack.
