Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 92 Capture and Interception

"Oh!"

After dodging another icy chain that was coming to bind him, Li Wenyou's brain was working frantically. The map of the surrounding streets had been firmly imprinted in his mind over the years, and this was the only way for him and his elder brother Yan Mu to escape from the Research Institute, whose strength and number of people far exceeded theirs.

Lines were quickly outlined in Li Wenyou's mind, and then instantly marked with a big red cross.

Li Wenyou had to admit that after the previous failures, the Research Institute did pay enough attention to the two brothers. At least their possible escape routes were completely blocked. If there was no external help, today would be the end of the two brothers' escape career.

"Xiaoyou, don't stop at the intersection ahead."

When Li Wenyu was thinking hard, the steady voice of his elder brother Yan Mu sounded in his ear, which startled him slightly. He glanced at Yan Mu and could not see any expression on his face as it was wrapped tightly.

"Brother, there should be someone blocking the intersection ahead, right?"

The two had been blocked off in this small neighborhood by the Research and Administration Committee's personnel several hours ago. They had just passed the intersection ahead an hour ago, so Li Wenyou was naturally aware of the poor road conditions.

Yan Mu's answer made Li Wenyou feel depressed.
"I'll stop them."

"Big brother..."

"No need to say more." Yan Mu's tone became a little stern.

"Their target has always been me. As long as you can get away successfully this time, they will never bother you again."

"For so many years, you have been hiding from people because of me. You haven't even been to a proper magic high school. Now, let's end it like this. You need to think about your future."

"That guy named Yu Chen thinks highly of you, why don't you go and join him when the time comes..."

"no!"

Li Wenyou, who usually spoke in a gentle voice, suddenly exploded, leaving Yan Mu, who was arranging the funeral, a little stunned.

"Either we go together, or we die together!"

"To TN!"

"It was obviously those bastards who were aggressive from the beginning. Why did they make us flee? Is it because of your special talent? At least you have never killed anyone, but the number of ordinary people who died in their hands while chasing us is almost as many as a group of mages!"

"How dare they call themselves righteous!"

"When I become a super-class mage, I will definitely wipe out those bastards in the Research Institute!"

Yan Mu couldn't help but interrupt.
"You will never be able to become a super-class wizard if you follow me."

"Then I don't care!" Li Wenyou was extremely determined.

"If it weren't for you, I would have died in the hands of those relatives. You saved my life, so I'm just going to give it back to you today."

With a "swish", Yan Mu stopped and dragged Li Wenyou into the alley next to him. The increasing fluctuations of magical energy around indicated that the Research Institute was not far away.

The alley was so narrow that even two people could not walk side by side. Due to the rising temperature, the garbage piled up at the end of the alley emitted a disgusting stench.

"I saved your life so that you can survive."

"Take my share and live well."

Suddenly, Li Wenyou, who was pressed against the wall by Yan Mu, opened his eyes wide and felt a tingling sensation on his skin, followed by dizziness. A few seconds later, Yan Mu wrapped the unconscious Li Wenyou in a thick black robe and threw him into the garbage dump where flies were flying.

Then, standing at the entrance of the alley, he heard footsteps approaching, and the star map under his feet was completed.

"Fire fist blasts the sky!"

A fist burning with flames rushed out of the alley, followed by the screams of two people.

"Yan Mu!"

The two remaining soldiers from the Research Institute, who had witnessed their colleague being devoured defenselessly by the Fiery Fist, noticed the figure walking out of the alley and couldn't help swallowing.

"How dare you attack someone from our Research Institute?"

"Just do it. Since you are about to die, why can't you find someone to take the blame for you?"

Yan Mu's calm words made the two minions of the Research Institute step back again.

Although their words were quite tough, they sounded a little lacking in confidence. The members of the Research Committee discovered that Yan Mu, who had been tracked by them in the past and had always fled in a panic and rarely fought back, now seemed to have undergone a frightening change.

At least their opponents in the past did not dare to kill them from the Research Institute, and that was why they were caught off guard when they pursued them.

The consequence of being careless was that they, who originally had the advantage of four people, suddenly lost two people. If they were one against two, their years of work experience had shown that they were no match for a freak like Yan Mu at the same level.

But if they retreat at this point, they will certainly suffer the consequences later.

They could not win if they fought, and they could not leave if they left. The two members of the Research and Development Committee were caught in a dilemma.

At this moment, Yan Mu took the initiative to give the two of them a way out.
"Are you going to just watch your colleagues and you die here because they didn't get timely treatment?"

The two people in the Research Institute looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes. Yes, giving up the target to save the life of a colleague and sending it back was at least much better than retreating without a fight, and it could also boost their reputation.

Thanks to the good equipment of the Research Institute, the two men's lives were barely saved in front of the first-level Fiery Fist, giving them room for choice.

Strategic shift!

"Yan Mu, you attacked a member of the Research Institute. You should be wanted."

After saying this, the two of them hurriedly took the two unlucky teammates away.

Watching the few people leave, Yan Mu ran forward again.

But within five minutes, just as Yan Mu came out of the maze-like alley after many twists and turns,
"Ice lock!"
More than ten ice chains rushed out from all directions, heading straight for Yan Mu.

"Fire fist blasts the sky!"

"Burst with fire!"

Seemingly defenseless, Yan Mu first threw out the fiery fist he had prepared in advance. The huge flaming fist of more than ten meters long directly engulfed the ice chain. Puddles of water evaporated before they even hit the ground. Then he added another fireball, and the exploding fireball blew away the fish that had escaped the net.

But this does not mean that the crisis is over. On the contrary, when nearly twenty mid-level mages appeared around Yan Mu, the space above and below was completely blocked, and even the retreat route behind was blocked by two mages who were eyeing him covetously, Yan Mu knew that there was really no way out this time.

"Yan Mu? You can run quite fast!"

"You have some skills to have been able to escape our Research Institute's pursuit for five years."

The leading mage from the Research Institute stared at Yan Mu, who was not moving, with an unfriendly look, and the tension in his heart caused by being urged by his leader to complete the task disappeared for the most part.

Twenty mid-level mages, including a high-level mage like myself, such a luxurious ambush lineup, against a mid-level mutant mage who is at most level three with two elements...

The advantage is mine!

However, the good mood of the Master Yan Sihui did not last long. Yan Mu's words made his arrogant face darken.
"It took you five years to catch me. Doesn't that prove that your Research Institute is just a bunch of good-for-nothings who just sit there doing nothing?"

"A useless person? A good-for-nothing?"

As soon as these words came out, all the monks present at the Institute had gloomy faces.
"Wait until you get into the lab and see if you can still be as stubborn as you are today!"

The leading high-level mage sneered, then seemed to remember something and looked around.

"I see. Your little follower isn't here? Are you planning to ask him to rescue you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the Institute laughed out loud, and the mockery in their laughter was not concealed at all.

"Since he's lucky, let him go. You're enough for me."

The leading wizard waved his hand.

"Net of Light is ready!"

"put!"

Just as everyone in the Research Institute had expected, they had made sufficient preparations this time. Faced with several light nets and nearly twenty mages of the same level, Yan Mu was captured without any ability to fight back.

"take away!"

Looking at Yan Mu who was caught in the net, the leading mage asked his subordinates to watch over him and then called the vehicle that had been prepared to transport the prisoners.

Watching his subordinates escorting the prisoner into the car, with six or seven mid-level wizards guarding him, the leading wizard finally relaxed his tense heart.

The leading mage got on the passenger seat of the car, looked forward, and instructed the driver:
"Go to the headquarters. This is the person the committee member specifically requested. There can be no mistakes."

"Yes."

"Ah."

The leading wizard nodded at first, then realized something was wrong, looked at the other person's face, and was suddenly startled.

"You are not Xiao Wang!"

And these were the last words spoken by the leading wizard.

"Oh!"
