The most profound transformation magic is to become other kinds of animals. For instance, by the lake or river, one can transform into a fish, or even aquatic animals like crocodiles, enabling them to swim and dive like these creatures.
Alternatively, one can transform into a bird and escape by flying, or use this ability to travel.
Of course, transformation magic is a spell known only to a handful of individuals. It is the heritage of ancient wizarding families, many of which were annihilated by the Inquisition.
Master Onew used the last vestiges of his internal magical power to transform into a crow and flee.
In Master Onew's opinion, no matter how powerful Ling Tian was, he likely couldn't pursue or attack a crow flying hundreds of meters in the sky.
As he flew, Master Onew, now a crow, looked back. He intended to engrave Ling Tian's image in his mind. This was a feud that would never end, a mortal enmity!
However, at that moment, Onew suddenly felt the sky above him darken. He raised the crow's neck and was instantly terrified by the sight before him.
Appearing directly above him was a majestic Gyrfalcon!
Or rather, this bird could no longer be described as a mere Gyrfalcon, for the giant eagle before him far surpassed the size of an ordinary Gyrfalcon.
Ling Tian had tamed this Gyrfalcon for nearly two years. Every day, the Gyrfalcon received nourishment from abundant spiritual energy in the Beast Taming Garden within the adjacent dimension. The bird's strength had increased exponentially, and it had even developed sentience.
Onew, the fellow, thought he was safe by transforming into a crow. He never imagined Ling Tian would possess a Gyrfalcon!
"Caw!"
The crow let out a piteous cry. The Gyrfalcon's steel-hook-like talons directly seized the crow's neck, piercing it with their sharp points!
Onew didn't even have the ability to resist. In his transformed state, he couldn't cast spells. He could only cast magic when in human form.
The intense, piercing pain prevented him from maintaining his transformation. Thus, at an altitude of over 100 meters, Onew reverted to human form, with several bloody holes on his neck.
"Ah!" The black wizard's body plummeted from mid-air, crashing violently onto the lake's surface.
An altitude of over 100 meters meant falling onto water was no different from falling onto concrete. The unfortunate black wizard was instantly reduced to a bloody pulp, his body torn asunder.
Bis and others, who were desperately fleeing in a small boat on the lake, witnessed this scene with immense shock. Bis had harbored some reservations about Onew, knowing how powerful the black wizard was.
But what did it matter? No matter how powerful, he was still smashed into a bloody mess before Ling Tian.
At this moment, the gunmen dispatched by the Gustav family had taken their positions. They raised their guns from a hundred meters away, preparing to fire at Ling Tian and his companions.
"A Li, stop playing. We need to go!"
"Mm, mm, got it!"
A Li was less fighting and more playing over there. The Wolf brothers were being toyed with by A Li, desperately trying to tear him apart but unable to even touch his clothes.
Conversely, A Li, with his sharp claw blades, left bloody gashes on them. These two beastmen had become like walking blood talismans.
Although the wounds were not fatal, each of them had lost several pounds of blood. This was only possible because they were beastmen; a normal human losing so much blood would have already died.
Just then, Big Wolf lunged at A Li, his claws extended, aiming for A Li's neck.
*Swish!*
Big Wolf thought he had A Li, but the next moment he realized he had struck an afterimage!
When a target suddenly disappears during combat, it's never a good sign. The next moment, sharp claw blades pierced Big Wolf's neck, severing his carotid artery and trachea.
A Li swiftly withdrew his claw blades, rolled on the ground to dodge Little Wolf's sneak attack, and with another swipe, plunged his claws directly into Little Wolf's abdomen, then flicked upwards.
There's a term called disembowelment, and this was precisely it. Little Wolf let out a scream as his insides spilled out. Even as a beastman, he couldn't withstand such damage.
A Li stood up, flicked his claw blades, and all the blood on them dripped onto the ground, leaving no trace on the weapon. Products from the Spirit Realm, always top-notch!
Just then, gunshots echoed from over a hundred meters away. The gunmen opened fire on Ling Tian and A Li.
The two moved with composure, dodging and weaving. Ling Tian, through his Heavenly Eye divine ability, could perfectly predict the trajectory of bullets, allowing him to evade effectively.
While dodging, Ling Tian produced two melon-sized objects. These were the Spirit Realm version of magic core bombs.
He spun his body continuously, his footwork incredibly profound. While evading bullets, he pressed the buttons on the magic core bombs and, using the momentum of his rotation, hurled the bombs directly towards the areas where the gunmen were most concentrated!
"Grenades, be careful!"
The gunmen were seasoned veterans with extensive combat experience. When they saw Ling Tian throw something, they instinctively adopted tactical evasive maneuvers.
In their view, grenades were just grenades. As long as they executed proper tactical evasive actions, they could effectively avoid the damage caused by grenades. Moreover, they were all wearing bulletproof vests. Even if a grenade exploded at this distance, it likely wouldn't cause them fatal damage.
The two magic core bombs flew swiftly towards them. One gunman even prepared to shoot the magic core bombs in mid-air. At that moment, the magic core bombs detonated at a height of over two meters from the ground.
Grenades, when detonated mid-air, possess the greatest destructive power. The blast wave and fragments of a grenade that lands on the ground are largely absorbed by the earth.
However, when detonated in mid-air, the energy released by the grenade achieves its maximum lethality.
With the detonation of these two magic core bombs, within a 30-meter radius centered on the explosion points, there were virtually no survivors.
The sharp iron fragments within the magic core bombs, propelled by the force of the explosion, drilled ferociously into human bodies. Even those wearing bulletproof vests had areas that were not protected.
