Chapter 1240: Chapter 109: Blade of the Wind God
Gorisong was not surprised by the resilient defense of his opponent. Instead, excitement flickered in his deep eyes, like a fierce beast eyeing its prey. He raised his magic wand and chanted, "O fire elements that fill the heavens and earth! Grant me the power to burn, in my name, by your power, appear, blazing flames." Purple flames reappeared on the red magic stone at the tip of the wand. Gorisong raised the wand and chanted loudly, "Ascend, Fire Ball." This magic was all too familiar to Ah Dai—it was Meteor Fire.
A purple Little Fireball, about three centimeters in diameter, floated out, followed by a series of fireballs of the same size, arranged in a neat row. Under the precise control of Gorisong, they flew one after another towards Yu Yuan. By now, the previous Purple Flame Soaring Dragon had finally vanished. Yu Yuan had barely caught his breath when the first fireball struck the defenses of the Water Mirror Technique.
The move Gorisong used was not a mere Meteor Fire. With his mastery of magic and deliberate control, the fireball exploded right at the moment it was about to rebound from colliding with the Water Mirror Technique, turning into an explosion of flame that made the water mirror wobble slightly. Such exquisite control of magic immediately made the Tian Jing mages behind Gorisong shout in excitement.
One after another, the purple explosions continuously bombarded the water mirror. Yu Yuan’s face gradually changed; sweat streamed down his forehead. Both sides were now in a deadlock, each waiting to see who could sustain their magic power longer. Gorisong, taking advantage of low-level magic to bombard the water mirror, had greatly conserved his magic power. His composed expression revealed that he had not expended much energy at all. He held the advantage. As the Little Fireballs concentrated their blasts on one spot, Yu Yuan gradually could no longer hold up, and fine cracks appeared on the water mirror, growing wider and indicating imminent collapse. Indeed, although Yu Yuan’s strength was not far behind Gorisong, past traumatic defeats prevented him from fully unleashing his potential, allowing Gorisong to seize the opportunity to attack without any chance for Yu Yuan to fight back.
Gorisong suddenly shouted loudly, a purple fireball half a meter in diameter appeared under his full concentration, following the smaller fireballs as the final strike towards Yu Yuan.
Ah Dai’s heart skipped a beat. If Yu Yuan were really hit by this powerful fireball, it wouldn’t just be a breach of defense—he would likely turn to ashes under such scorching flames. He knew that if someone were to be injured or killed, it would only deepen the hatred between both sides. Besides, how could he bear to watch Yu Yuan perish like this? He activated the Instant Teleportation of Goris’s Wish. In the next instant, he stood in front of the about-to-shatter Water Mirror. His hands formed a circle, and the pale green Life-Shield appeared in front of him like lightning, facing the incoming small fireballs that erupted continuously.
Facing Gorisong’s attack firsthand, Ah Dai fully realized the strength of these purple fireballs. Though the Life-Shield blocked them, waves of heat still continuously penetrated the energy barrier, the exploding fireballs constantly shaking the defense of the Life-Shield. Ah Dai’s right foot stepped back slightly, steadying his stance. He supported the Life-Shield with his left hand against the barrage of fireballs, and with his right hand, he conjured a blue-green Life-Sword. With a loud shout, he slashed at the incoming fireballs. The three-centimeter fireballs, limited in power, vanished without a trace under the enormous energy of the Life-Sword. But by this time, the gigantic purple fireball was already rushing towards him. Ah Dai tapped the ground with his feet, both hands gripping the Life-Sword, as the Golden Body Radiance within his Dantian shone brightly. Pure True Qi continuously flowed from his hands into the Life-Sword. The Life-Sword radiated brightly, its blade extending to three meters. Ah Dai leaped high, and with a sudden slash, he split the fireball in two in order not to allow the fireball’s shockwave to harm Yu Yuan behind him, infusing the slash with absorbing energy. With a ’pfft’ sound, the Life-Sword split the purple fireball in two, driven by the massive force of the Life Qi, the two halves of the fireball struck the ground, and amidst a loud rumbling, the soil on the ground vaporized, creating a large crater three meters in diameter and five meters deep in front of Ah Dai.
All the mages were startled by Ah Dai’s sudden appearance. Gorisong raised his eyebrows slightly and exclaimed loudly, "What’s this? Is the Mage Guild of your continent planning to gang up on us due to their greater numbers?"
Ah Dai only felt kinship with Gorisong, and facing his accusation, he found himself at a loss for words. Feng Zhi emerged, and although he didn’t know who this suddenly appearing young man was, since he had saved Yu Yuan’s life, he naturally counted as a friend of their side. "Gorisong, we concede this match. Since you’ve been so ruthless, don’t blame us for showing no mercy."
Gorisong snorted coldly, "I didn’t expect the esteemed Mage Guild of the continent to resort to bringing in martial arts experts for assistance. I’m curious to see how you show no mercy. Come on, I’m waiting for you."
The Purple-robed Alchemist stepped forward and said indifferently, "Magus Gorisong, please rejoin your team. Since both parties are competing in magic, they should abide by the principles of mutual learning and should not aim to harm each other’s lives. From now on, if either party attempts to kill, I will deem them as losers. The eighth match is won by the Tian Jing Mage Guild, with a score of five to three. The ninth match will begin in one minute, I hope both sides will act with caution. If you cannot control your emotions and cause a riot, then our Alchemist Guild will never deal with the Mage Guild." Although the Alchemist Guild could be considered a branch of the Mage Guild, they were significantly supportive to the Mage Guild, as high-ranking mages preferred powerful magical tools, which only alchemists could make. Therefore, no one would dare to offend a wealthy alchemist.
