"Very good!" Huo Liao Yuan was so angry that he laughed. Lu Ye's reaction was within his expectations. If the other party was really going to resign himself to death, then he would really look down on Lu Ye.
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and slapped the air in front of him. Spirit Energy surged around his body, with his palm as the origin.
A fiery red Spiritual Energy disc with a radius of several tens of meters quickly spread out. Within the disc, complex lines were intertwined with each other, flashing with light.
The spirit energy disc seemed to be embedded in Huo Liaoyuan's palm, and as he activated his spirit energy, the disc began to glow.
As soon as he activated it, fireballs of various sizes appeared out of thin air, dragging bright flames behind them as they shot towards Lu Ye like a meteor shower.
As a Ninth Order Cloud River Realm cultivator, he studied Spirit Techniques all year round. Naturally, his attainments in Spirit Techniques were extremely high. The Meteor Shower was extraordinary as soon as he made his move. The dense fireballs dragged a red glow behind them. Under Huo Liao Yuan's control, they turned into arcs and rushed towards Lu Ye. Wherever they passed, space was burned and distorted.
Lu Ye's figure leapt.
He dodged the first few fireballs that hit him.
Taking advantage of the gaps in the Meteor Shower, he quickly moved forward.
His movements were swift.
His reaction was fast.
It was far beyond the level of a Fifth Order cultivator.
* Hong Hong Hong … *
The fireballs hit the air one after another.
They bombarded the Deathmatch Arena and the Restriction Barrier in the surroundings.
Dazzling flames bloomed.
An astonishing heat wave erupted.
The calm Huo Liao Yuan revealed a look of surprise.
He, a Ninth Order cultivator, personally took action against a Fifth Order cultivator.
In fact, he didn't pay too much attention. In his opinion, the difference in their cultivations was so great that he was afraid that a casual Spirit Technique would be enough to take Lu Ye's life. Using a Spirit Technique like the Meteor Shower was already an extremely safe response. However, Lu Ye's performance surprised him.
The other party was actually able to shuttle through his Meteor Shower …
Was this the reaction of a Fifth Order cultivator?
Huo Liaoyuan's expression immediately became serious. It wasn't as if he had never failed miserably at an easy task, and he had warned himself before. His mind power began to surge, and the number of fireballs that surged out from the spirit energy disc in front of him increased, and their trajectories became more and more erratic.
Lu Ye was like a fish swimming against the current of the fireballs. When Fire Prairie's mentality changed, he immediately felt the pressure and slowed down his swimming speed.
Magic Cultivators had a certain degree of control over the Techniques they released, and this ability would manifest itself after a cultivator reached the Seventh Order.
Take Lu Ye for example.
When he first cultivated the Fire Phoenix Technique,
His cultivation was only at the Third-Order.
The spell was cast.
He had no way of controlling the trajectory at all, so his accuracy was extremely poor.
However, once a cultivator reached the Seventh Order Realm, they would be able to control Spirit Qi outside of their body. This was also the fundamental reason why cultivators could control Spirit Qi outside of their body.
Being able to control the Spirit Qi inside a Spirit Artifact meant that they could also control Techniques.
The level of a Magic Cultivator's attainment was not only dependent on how many Techniques they had mastered and how powerful they were, but also on how well they could control their own Techniques.
Huo Liaoyuan was undoubtedly a qualified Magic Cultivator. Although he couldn't control all of the fireballs that surged out, he could still control a portion of them.
However, the trajectory of the fireballs that were controlled by him was extremely difficult to distinguish.
Just like now, Lu Ye had clearly dodged some of the fireballs, but they could still return and attack him from behind.
Lu Ye's hand, which had been on the hilt of his saber all this time, flashed with a fiery red light as the Mountain Coiling Saber was unsheathed. Under the sharp light of the saber, the incoming fireballs were split apart, creating a series of explosions.
Lu Ye's protective Spirit Qi lingered around his body, and the scattered sparks fell, accelerating the consumption of Lu Ye's Spirit Qi.
He didn't use the power of his Talent Tree. This was the reason why he was so confident in facing Huo Liaoyuan. He didn't want to expose it unless it was absolutely necessary.
Moreover, if he wanted to defeat a Ninth Order Cloud River Realm cultivator, relying on the power of his Talent Tree alone was far from enough. He needed to let Huo Liaoyuan consume as much of his Spirit Qi as possible. Only then could he kill him in a single blow when he was at his weakest.
In terms of cultivation, he was indeed much weaker than Huo Liaoyuan.
However, other than this, Huo Liaoyuan had no other advantage.
"Die!" Huo Liaoyuan suddenly let out a roar with a ferocious look on his face.
Lu Ye's long blade came to an abrupt halt as he turned to look at the huge fireball in front of him. This fireball was clearly different from the others, and the spirit energy contained within it was extremely violent.
Just as he was paying attention to this fireball, a chaotic and violent energy fluctuation came at the same time. The huge fireball suddenly expanded in his field of vision, accompanied by a violent buzzing sound and a scorching light.
* Hong … *
The fireball exploded, engulfing Lu Ye's figure. Huo Liaoyuan didn't stop, instead taking advantage of the situation to pursue. Under his exquisite control, more fireballs poured into the fireball one after another, triggering the aura of death.
The fireball suddenly surged, and Lu Ye's sorry figure fell out of it. His body leaned forward slightly as he spread out his hand in front of him. A huge Spirit Rune appeared in front of him. At first glance, it looked like he was holding a shield. Although his other hand was badly burned by the flames, he still held onto his Mountain Coiling Saber tightly.
His feet were planted on the Death Arena stage. Under the huge impact, he slid back more than three hundred meters before he could stabilize himself.
With a crash, the Spirit Rune Shield in front of him shattered, revealing Lu Ye's figure. His clothes were tattered and his body was covered in burn marks. Even his hair was curly and charred.
He had tried his best to gradually close the distance between him and Huo Liaoyuan, but his opponent had easily erased all his previous efforts and returned everything to square one.
[Sure enough … I hate cultivators.] Lu Ye turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood to calm the tumbling blood in his chest.
These fellows relied on their strength to do whatever they wanted, making him unable to use his skills at all.
"Hm?" Huo Liaoyuan was slightly taken aback. Looking at Lu Ye who had escaped, his expression suddenly became excited, "Amazing, amazing!"
He looked as if he had discovered something new and interesting. His eyes were full of excitement and joy, "A trivial Fifth-Order cultivator was able to block my Spirit Art. Lu Yiye, you really are a monster. No wonder the great forces of Myriad Demon Ridge have such a headache over you. I was thinking that it wouldn't be worth it to just kill you like this. After all, I used a rare treasure like the Death Arena! Since you're so powerful … "His expression suddenly became cold, and the words that came out of his mouth were like ice from the Nine Nether Hells," Then struggle well. No matter what, I've paid so much, so you have to let me see a good show! "
With another flash of light, the dense fireballs on the Spirit Energy disc reappeared. After the fireballs appeared, they only paused for a moment before rushing towards Lu Ye.
After suffering a loss just now, how could Lu Ye not know that with his current strength, it was simply wishful thinking to rush in front of his opponent in this situation.
The physique of a Spirit Art cultivator was indeed thin. If a Weapon Cultivator got close to them, most of them wouldn't have a good ending. However, they had long arms. In the face of an absolute gap in strength, it was impossible for a Weapon Cultivator to get close to them.
Sure enough, he had to constantly consume his strength.
With such a dense attack, even if Huo Liaoyuan was a Ninth-Order cultivator, he would definitely consume a lot of energy!
After making up his mind, Lu Ye immediately dashed to the side. Fireballs followed closely behind, brushing past his body as they bombarded the Death Arena stage and collided with the barrier, creating loud rumbling noises. As the fireballs exploded, they swept out in all directions, causing Lu Ye to feel like he was a canoe drifting in the middle of the sea, drifting about in the middle of the raging waves.
Huo Liaoyuan was indeed going crazy. His expression was distorted. This might have something to do with the heavy casualties yesterday. More than sixty people had died at once, so the psychological pressure he was under was too great. Now that he had an opportunity, he could finally release it all.
While urging his Spirit Art to attack, he laughed madly and shouted from time to time, "Run, run! Look at you, you're running like a mouse. How ugly is your posture? You want to kill me? If you want to kill me, then come! You only know how to run, but you won't have the chance to kill me! "
While ridiculing, he didn't forget to provoke. It could be seen that Huo Liaoyuan's temperament was very meticulous. Even in a situation where he had complete control, he still instinctively used words to influence Lu Ye's mind.
Why would Lu Ye pay attention to him? Since he had made up his mind to exhaust Huo Liaoyuan's strength, the longer he delayed, the better.
Boom, boom, boom! Lu Ye kept running around the Death Arena. Occasionally, he would pretend to charge over to confuse Huo Liaoyuan. Unsurprisingly, every time he did that, Huo Liaoyuan's attacks would become more ferocious and block him.
The Mountain Pan Saber in his hand was almost like a decoration. He didn't have the chance to swing it at all. The defensive spirit inscriptions kept urging, blocking some attacks that he couldn't avoid.
None of the fireballs caused direct damage to him, but the impact from the explosions still caused pain all over his body and his Qi and blood to tremble.
This was also the reason why he didn't urge the Talent Tree's power immediately. While it was true that urging the Talent Tree could prevent the fire-elemental power from harming him, the accompanying impact and tremors couldn't be avoided.
Moreover, urging the Talent Tree like that consumed a lot of mental strength. Even if Lu Ye's mental strength was much stronger than cultivators of the same level, he couldn't maintain it for long.
He had to wait for the right opportunity to use this trump card. Only then would it have an unexpected effect.
Time passed. A cup of tea, a stick of incense …
Lu Ye was in an increasingly sorry state. Huo Liaoyuan's expression was no longer as relaxed as before.
The Meteor Shower spell consumed a lot of energy. He had never maintained it for such a long time. In just a stick of incense's time, he had used up nearly half of his Spirit Qi. However, what made him feel helpless was that Lu Yiye was still alive and kicking!
