Chen Nan lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "Scared? But I doubt your Western gods would dare to take me on."
Thomas Yerlu was enraged. "Are you blaspheming the gods of the West?"
At the same time, four black SUVs appeared side by side behind Thomas Yerlu, blocking Chen Nan's path.
Chen Nan scoffed disdainfully, "So what if I blaspheme your Western gods? Why don't you ask them to come down and deal with me?"
Thomas Yerlu's eyes were filled with intense killing intent. "I heard you are a fire element Saint Domain mage? I didn't expect an Easterner like you to comprehend magic."
"Today, I shall see if you truly possess the abilities of a Saint Domain mage."
With that, he chanted a spell.
The lake water boiled, transforming into a forty-meter-long giant sword.
The giant sword flashed through the air and struck directly at Chen Nan.
Chen Nan didn't dodge.
When the giant sword was five meters away from him, he snapped his fingers.
The giant sword instantly disintegrated, turning into numerous small water swords.
They then flew towards Thomas Yerlu.
"Damn it!"
Thomas Yerlu looked as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes filled with horror. He hadn't expected Chen Nan to so easily break his magic and even use water elemental law to attack him.
In the blink of an eye, a shield formed from water elemental law appeared around him, blocking the water swords.
Simultaneously, he cast a Saint Domain spell. The lake water turned into a powerful water dragon, roaring as it charged at Chen Nan.
Chen Nan's expression was calm. He clenched his fist in mid-air.
The water dragon directly changed direction and charged at Thomas Yerlu.
BOOM!
Thomas Yerlu's shield was shattered, sending him flying backward and crashing hard onto the windshield of a car behind him. He spat out mouthfuls of blood, his face extremely pale.
"Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible!" Thomas Yerlu's mind was shattered. "You're clearly a fire mage, why can you also cast water magic?"
"Are you perhaps a dual-element mage?" His voice was filled with endless fear. Mages were rare enough, and dual-element mages were one in ten thousand. Furthermore, Chen Nan's fire and water elements had both reached the Saint Domain level.
The disciples of the Church of Light behind him also widened their eyes. Thomas Yerlu was a Saint Domain mage of the Church of Light, always considered invincible. Yet, who would have thought that this Eastern man before them could gravely wound him in an instant? Even seeing it with their own eyes, they couldn't believe Thomas Yerlu would be so severely injured.
"Dual-element mage?" Chen Nan shook his head. "I'm not a mage, but if you must consider me one, then call me an all-element mage!"
*Pfft!*
Thomas Yerlu spat out a mouthful of blood and roared, "All-element mage? Are you fooling a three-year-old? If I believe you, I'm an idiot!" Magic was divided into seven elements: Light, Dark, Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Even though magic had existed in the Western world for thousands of years, no seven-element mage had ever appeared.
Chen Nan, smoking his cigarette, said indifferently, "Whether you believe it or not is not important. What's important is that the Church of Light takes my words seriously."
"Yes, you have two weeks. Two weeks from now, I will head to the headquarters of the Church of Light. As long as your Western cultivators kneel before the Liangzhou Ding and the Yongzhou Ding, and admit to the world that they stole the three Dings, I will spare the Church of Light. Otherwise, I will have to uproot the Church of Light!"
Thomas Yerlu was furious. "Chen, do you think our Western cultivation world is a soft persimmon?"
Chen Nan smiled. "So far, I haven't seen any remarkable qualities in you."
"Kill him!" Thomas Yerlu gave the order directly.
The next moment, the dozen or so disciples of the Church of Light behind Thomas Yerlu drew their weapons. Pistols, shotguns, Desert Eagles, and even one person carrying a Gatling gun. There was even a rocket launcher. It was like a scene from a movie.
"Husband, I'm scared!" Xu Qingxin instinctively clutched Chen Nan's arm.
Chen Nan gently soothed, "Don't be scared, don't be scared!"
*Da da da!*
The dozen or so people opposite simultaneously pulled their triggers. Fire spewed from the muzzles of their guns. Dense bullets flew towards them. But halfway through their flight, the water on the ground formed a vortex, swallowing all the bullets. Not a single bullet came close to Chen Nan.
"I am disappointed in your strength," Chen Nan sighed lightly. Then, with a wave of his right hand, the bullets in the vortex flew backward.
*Pfft, pfft!*
The bullets landed precisely on the disciples of the Church of Light, killing them instantly. Two of them also pierced Thomas Yerlu's abdomen. While not life-threatening, he would require a long period of recovery.
Chen Nan said, "I still need to go to Los Angeles. If you have any tricks, use them quickly."
With that, an excavator materialized from the lake, formed by water elemental law. Yes, it was an excavator. Under Thomas Yerlu's ghost-like gaze, the excavator moved the cars blocking the road.
???
Thomas Yerlu was utterly stunned. Magic could be used like this? It could even turn into an excavator? Why couldn't the magic I practice turn into an excavator?
Chen Nan got into his car and drove to a stop beside Thomas Yerlu. He asked, "Let me ask you a question, do you know who is best at learning excavator technology?"
Thomas Yerlu swallowed hard. How would I know who is best at learning excavator technology?
"If we meet again, I hope you can answer this question, it might save your life!" Chen Nan stomped on the accelerator, driving away with Xu Qingxin under Thomas Yerlu's terrified gaze.
While Chen Nan was driving himself, Thomas Yerlu returned to the Church of Light Temple. He was very weak, carried into the temple.
"Thomas Yerlu, how did you sustain such severe injuries?" George Dennis, the Great Archbishop of the Church of Light, was shocked. The other Saint Domain mages were also astonished. Thomas Yerlu's strength was considerable, yet they never expected him to be carried back.
Thomas Yerlu weakly replied, "Your Eminence, Chen Nan injured me."
"We underestimated that guy. He is not only a fire mage but also a water Saint Domain mage." His words instantly caused gasps within the temple.
"He is a dual-element mage?"
"How can an Easterner be a dual-element Saint Domain mage?"
"How can such a monster appear in this world?"
Thomas Yerlu shook his head. "I feel Chen Nan's strength is beyond Saint Domain. Yes, his magic can transform into strange and peculiar things."
George Dennis asked softly, "What strange and peculiar things are you talking about?"
Thomas Yerlu countered, "Does an excavator count?"
