"What a heavy punch." Fenix spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying by Li Xiang's punch. Before he could even stabilize himself, an explosive bullet fell from the sky and landed beside his feet.
A small mushroom cloud rose into the air, and the huge commotion caused the trial takers who were fighting with the Sky Tribe's remains to retreat. Although they were all magicians, Li Xiang's battle was not on the same level as theirs.
The magic spells that Fenix had carefully selected to deal with Li Xiang's terrifying firearms ability had all failed. At the same time, he had also underestimated Li Xiang's battle prowess. In the end, he had placed himself in a situation where he was certain to be killed.
After going through countless battles and reviewing after battles, in addition to his own unique combat talent, Li Xiang had already polished his combat skills to perfection. Spear, stab, fist, kick, every type of attack could be executed perfectly. It was far from what he, who had occupied Fenix's body not long ago, could compare to.
Just as Finis was about to be defeated, Gong Yang Jian, who had been walking all the way, suddenly charged into the battle between the two.
Whoosh!
An incomparably heavy Origin Material heavy sword smashed down from above. The Sword Qi whistled and turned into a giant python that spiraled towards Li Xiang's head.
The Gong Yang family had started out with cold weapons, and Gong Yang Jian had inherited the family's teachings. His heavy sword skills had swept through his peers, and he had a great reputation among level 3 magicians.
He saw the opportunity and took advantage of the moment when Li Xiang was chasing after Fenix. He used three magic spells in a row and chopped down. The giant python bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it descended, enveloping Li Xiang within.
Gong Yang Jian had estimated that Li Xiang's battle prowess was at the level of a top level 3 magician. In a one on one fight, he might not be able to win against him. And from his battle with Fenix, his strength and speed might even be above his own. Thus, he used a fatal move right from the start. He had to seriously injure Li Xiang in one blow.
Fenix, who was rapidly retreating, felt as if he had seen a rare oasis in the desert. How could he let go of such a good opportunity? He retreated in order to advance, reorganizing his attacks and trying to delay Li Xiang before the giant python arrived, not giving him any chance to escape.
"Despicable! Two top Level-3 Magicians ganging up on one person. Aren't you afraid that people will laugh their heads off if they hear about this?!" Ji Xiaoyi had been paying attention to Li Xiang's movements from the corner of her eye. Fenix was very strong, and in a one-on-one situation, Ji Xiaoyi could only be on par with him. Seeing that Li Xiang was suppressing him, she was relieved.
But before long, Gongyang Jian joined the battle group!
Gong Yang Jian was ranked third among the Level 3 Magicians in the outside world, yet he still did this kind of shady business.
"Hmph. You'd better take care of yourself, Sister Yi." Ji Ruoyu held Ji Xiaoyi back, not giving her a chance to get close to Fei Yujing. Since Finis had said so, she would rather help Fei Yujing, even if it meant getting injured.
Fenix's hatred for Li Xiang was similar to her hatred for Ji Xiaoyi.
At some point, Xuan Yue and Yue Xingling had also arrived in this area. At first, they were just going to lure the monsters as usual, but after seeing the situation, they decisively rushed towards Fei Yujing.
Luo Chu and the others immediately acted, stopping the two from advancing.
None of them were a match for Xuan Yue, but relying on their numbers and the strange power of disaster, they were able to keep Xuan Yue and Yue Xingling at a distance.
Fei Yujing, who had been sitting cross-legged all this time, seemed to not have heard the battle around her. She continued to meditate, and her black hair slowly danced in the air like poisonous snakes. There was also energy being fed back into her body by the people around her.
A black hexagram appeared under the feet of the Sky King's corpse, which covered the sky and blocked the sun, trapping its movements in a small circle.
On Li Xiang's side.
The giant python's attack was extremely terrifying, but when it charged towards Li Xiang's side, Gongyang Jian's expression suddenly changed.
It was as if a whirlpool of quicksand had wrapped around his body, and all of his magic was disintegrated in an instant. The heavy Edgeless was not as strong as before, and Li Xiang flipped over. His eyes turned cold, and as he stomped the ground, the Stinger pierced forward.
That terrifying giant python instantly turned into countless specks of light, and the heavy sword clashed with the Stinger, producing an ear-piercing sound of metal.
The core exploded!
Li Xiang did not hesitate, and all of the chains on the hexagram core, which had already reached the limit of a human's core, were destroyed. The heart that had fused with the Primordial Array on the side was beating wildly, transmitting a huge amount of energy.
"So strong!" Gongyang Jian was horrified. The power that had suddenly erupted from Li Xiang's body made him tremble. If the two of them were on par in all aspects before, Li Xiang was now a step ahead of him, reaching the true peak!
The gap between the top level-3 magicians was not that big. Even Whitey, who was known as the strongest level-3 magician, was not much stronger than them in terms of pure physical strength.
But it was that step that separated the top from the peak.
And now, Li Xiang, who had exploded with his core, had stepped over the peak in one step, making Gongyang Jian feel the enormous pressure he had felt when he had faced Bai Lihu in the past.
And this pressure was still increasing, as if it was far from reaching its limit.
Normally, in a battle between magicians, they would only choose to explode their core after they had exhausted all of their magic. After all, once the core exploded, it meant that there was no more Origin Energy left to use to perform new magic.
The difference in physical strength was the greatest, but it would not cause a qualitative change. But a magic spell could often change the outcome of a battle.
To explode his core right from the start, if he was not extremely confident, then he was extremely crazy.
"I have always adhered to one principle. If you choose to become my enemy, if you choose to fight to the death, then you must be prepared to bear my wrath." Li Xiang's eyes were cold. Gongyang Jian had disturbed him again and again. Regardless of whether he was doing it for Fei Yujing or for his own selfish reasons, since he had shed all pretense of cordiality, Li Xiang did not mind sending him on his way.
Gongyang Jian's heart trembled. The two of them were clearly working together, but why did it feel like Li Xiang was the one with the advantage?
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Gongyang Jian suppressed the restlessness and uneasiness in his heart. Age, cultivation time, talent, family background, and so on. Which one of the things that he could take out was not stronger than him? How could he lose?
He pressed one hand to his chest and held his sword in the other. Black flames jumped in his chest. It was different from the projection on Xiang Qi's body. It was a more solid clone of the Origin Flame, which meant that Fei Yujing had given him more power.
The black flames set Gongyang Jian's body ablaze, simultaneously stimulating the potential hidden in his body.
This was like a poison. Once someone enjoyed this power, they would become addicted and find it difficult to control themselves.
The black flames corroded his bones and burned his heart, constantly burning his flesh and blood, injecting new and powerful energy into his body.
This kind of eruption was even more violent than a nuclear explosion. It was just like those soldiers who had been injected with military stimulants. Even their expressions were distorted.
They relied on forcibly burning their bodies to increase their combat strength. In order to counteract the side effects, they needed a large amount of Origin Energy to neutralize the Origin Flame. Unless Fei Yujing weakened the Origin Flame's power, the price of this eruption would be extremely high.
Thus, she had signed a new contract with them. As long as they continuously provided Fei Yujing with energy at a rate of one to ten, she would weaken the side effects.
After Gongyang Jian's Origin Flame Clone burned, his combat strength suddenly rose to a level that was extremely close to the peak.
"Is this the realm that Bai Ling and Bai Lihu have reached?" This was the first time Gongyang Jian had burned his entire body. He could not help but be intoxicated by this vortex of power.
It was too wonderful. It was like countless orgasms erupting at the same time.
It was no wonder that countless people were willing to take the risk of becoming a disaster-type xenogeneic just to experience this extreme power. This kind of power was too intoxicating. It was difficult to extricate oneself from it.
Li Xiang, who was looking at Gongyang Jian, was as calm as still water. His eyes did not waver at all. He did not feel any fear because of the sudden power he had obtained.
He was waiting, quietly waiting for Gongyang Jian to complete his transformation.
"You should really take a good look at yourself. You are neither human nor ghost. You clearly have talent and resources, yet you insist on walking the path of evil, "Li Xiang sneered.
Gongyang Jian's eyes turned cold. It was as if he had been offended in the most unbearable part of his heart. In his rage, his body suddenly moved, cooperating with Fenix to attack Li Xiang from both sides.
It had to be said that the Origin Flame's power was indeed very evil. It allowed Gongyang Jian's combat strength to increase by half a level.
The Poison Spike and the heavy sword clashed. A heavy feeling was transmitted from the Poison Spike. The power was evenly matched.
Fenix wandered outside. He did not choose to use the nuclear explosion to fight. Instead, he very rationally supported Gongyang Jian.
"Gongyang, I'll leave the main battlefield to you." Fenix pretended that he could not participate in the battle, but in his heart, he was sneering. This fool. Not only did he imitate their Disaster-Type abilities, but he was forced into a corner by Li Xiang's words. He could not be put in an important position.
Perhaps it was because he had stayed in Li Xiang's body for a while, but Fenix and the others were more familiar with this guy's fighting style and how terrifying it was.
After the battle began, his every word and action was a battle strategy. If he was not careful, he would be led by Li Xiang. Countless people who had died at his hands knew this very well. Unfortunately, they never had the chance to speak up again.
He had clearly obtained power that was not inferior to his opponent, but he was mocked by him. The more Gongyang Jian thought about it, the angrier he became. His attacks became fiercer and fiercer. He wished he could tear the young man in front of him apart.
On the contrary, Li Xiang advanced step by step. He did not enter a berserk state after using the nuclear explosion like most people. Instead, he calmly dealt with each attack and confrontation.
The flawless defense and the perfect use of energy made Fenix tremble. Sometimes, he had to admit that Li Xiang had a fighting talent that others could not imagine. It was reflected in every detail. It kept stacking up and finally gave birth to a huge gap.
Following Gongyang Jian's roar and crazy slashes, the battle gradually became white-hot. With the flame waves of the Origin Fire, he was no longer afraid of the impact of the explosive bullets. The poison of the Poison Spike was also ineffective.
However, Li Xiang's bullet gun could still penetrate his defense. The flame waves could not withstand the withering bullets and dazzling bullets. Every shot was aimed at the black fire in his heart.
When Gongyang Jian woke up, it was already too late.
The two special effects of Infinite Parasitism and Instant Withering extinguished the flame waves. The force of the backlash surged. Gongyang Jian was shocked and kept retreating. When he looked back, he was surprised to find that Fenix had been slacking and did not use much strength.
He was too conceited.
When he had extremely high combat power, he did not plan carefully. After a series of crazy slashes, he seemed to have the upper hand everywhere. However, he fell right into Li Xiang's trap.
"This is your strength? You can't even withstand a single blow. "
"You like her right? Unfortunately, she only uses you as a tool."
"Pitiful. You haven't even touched her hand. As the first descendant of the Gongyang family, you are like a bootlicker."
"Let me give you a word of advice. A bootlicker will end up with nothing!"
Li Xiang's crazy trash talk kept coming out of his mouth as if it was free. He was expressionless, but he could keep saying these witty words.
Fenix was stunned. At first, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. Then, he stopped smiling and felt that this guy was too scary.
Trash talk was to disturb the opponent's mind. It had no effect in a high-level game. Instead, it lowered one's status. However, Li Xiang did the opposite and did not play by the rules. It was obvious that he wanted to disgust you.
Only then did Fenix realize that compared to disgust people, the things he learned were not as good as him.
"Bastard!" Gongyang Jian glared angrily and continued to slash crazily with a red face. He could not use magic and was constantly stimulated. In the end, he did not even have any technique. He completely ignored everything and just slashed blindly with his strength.
Seeing that Gongyang Jian was about to be exhausted, Fenix suddenly woke up.
Had they overlooked something from the very beginning?
"It's magic." As a disaster, Fenix was not affected by emotions. After thinking carefully, he finally realized that from the beginning, Li Xiang kept leading them away to prevent them from thinking about why their magic was blocked.
Was it a special magic, a barrier, or something else? As long as they consciously tried to break the situation and did not go too far, it would not be like this.
Unfortunately, Gongyang Jian had already lost his mind.
Moreover, from the beginning when he ignited the black fire, Li Xiang changed his strategy and planned to use a war of attrition to wear him down.
Seeing a top-notch Level-3 Magician being tortured, Fenix was drenched in sweat.
Bang!
Unable to keep the origin fire burning for a long time, the side effects came. Gongyang Jian, whose body started to shrink, wanted to retreat, but he was hit on the thigh by the stinger. He staggered and fell to the ground.
Fenix was still looking at him gloomily. He was burning with anger. If this bastard also attacked, the outcome would not be certain. However, he was not a good person either. When he saw that the situation was not good, he sold himself out!
"I can only leave." Gongyang Jian gritted his teeth and prepared to communicate with the mark on his forehead. He could not accept leaving like this, but it was much better than dying here.
However, the mark did not react at all.
"What's going on!" Gongyang Jian saw the stinger getting closer and closer. He was anxious and uneasy, but he could not communicate with the mark. The message was like a stone sinking into the sea.
"Gongyang, you are willing to sacrifice everything for me, right?"
The voice came from afar and entered his ears. Gongyang Jian's body trembled. He turned to look at Fei Yujing, but found that his head was not under his control.
Puchi!
Li Xiang kept the stinger. Gongyang Jian's head suddenly spun a few times and did an inhuman action. He forcefully broke his own neck!
Blood flowed wildly.
Then, it was his limbs and torso.
Like a spinning top when he was a child, he spun on his own.
Bones shattered, flesh and blood splattered.
The vitality and all the energy in his body quickly flowed along the black line to Fei Yujing.
After receiving all the essence in Gongyang Jian's body, Fei Yujing's face became more rosy and lustrous. Finally, she slowly opened her eyes.
She smiled faintly and glanced over.
Fenix shivered. That was a gaze filled with love, but he felt afraid no matter how he looked at it.
Who could she love?
Who could bear this love?
Looking at Gongyang Jian's scattered body parts on the ground, he knew the result.
Li Xiang frowned and returned her gaze.
Fei Yujing's lips opened slightly and whispered an ancient incantation.
The magic array that imprisoned the Sky King's corpse suddenly changed.
Behind everyone, a pale yellow silhouette slowly appeared. It seemed to have come from the void, but also seemed to have always been here and had never left.
