He spat out a fire leaf from his mouth and thrust it into the fireball. The fireball suddenly erupted, bursting open like a flower with a boom, covering the surrounding space. Li Sanlang’s body was engulfed within it.
Li Sanlang’s body darted left and right within the sea of fire, appearing extremely disheveled.
“Ah!” A chorus of gasps arose from the surroundings. They had never expected Li Sanlang to be at a disadvantage.
The audience at the Heavenly God Academy was stunned.
Simultaneously, after circling once, the earth arrow was pointed by Mo Qi and sent crashing towards Li Sanlang in the sea of fire.
At this very moment, Li Sanlang let out a long roar, and green flames ignited around his body, forming a stark contrast with the vast sea of red fire.
Li Sanlang’s eyes were like torches as he stared fixedly at Mo Qi. “You’ve angered me.”
Mo Qi shrugged. “Bite me!”
At this, Li Sanlang’s body trembled, undergoing a drastic change. Indeed, there was an anomaly.
Li Sanlang’s body began to spin rapidly. As it spun, it transformed into four heads and eight arms, with two arms on each side.
As he spun, it was as if each arm held a Qiankun Ring, and each Qiankun Ring was ablaze with blue flames.
When the earth arrow flew towards him, his entire body had already spun into a massive blue sphere. With a gentle swing, the earth arrow was deflected back.
Mo Qi simply pointed his finger, and the earth arrow abruptly halted in mid-air. Then, it circled around and pointed towards Li Sanlang once more.
The wheels beneath Li Sanlang’s feet continued to churn with great force. His entire body unleashed the power of intense heat, tearing, and pressure infinitely outwards. Even from a distance, Mo Qi could feel waves of powerful impact and lacerating force assailing him.
A wave of shadows surged forth, covering the sky.
The might of the earth arrow seemed to have been suppressed in an instant.
Mo Qi continued to flick his finger as before. Numerous hidden arrows emerged from the earth arrow, silently and densely striking towards Li Sanlang, leaving no room for escape.
Li Sanlang roared in fury. While spinning, he swung his Qiankun Rings. The sound of clanging echoed as the arrow energies were repelled. The surrounding spectators rapidly scattered, causing another commotion.
However, a few strands of arrow energy still managed to penetrate the light screen formed by the Qiankun Rings and struck Li Sanlang’s body. No matter how robust Li Sanlang’s physique was, his body was injured by the arrow energy. He gritted his teeth in pain, his anger erupting like a volcano.
“You’re courting death!” Li Sanlang activated his skates and surged forward rapidly, spinning his body and swinging his Qiankun Rings. He swept away the arrow energy and further deflected the earth arrow. The earth arrow circled back and returned to Mo Qi’s body.
The Qiankun Rings continued to roar forward, their speed almost indescribable.
In the blink of an eye, Mo Qi saw a mass of blue, radiating intense flames, hurtling towards him.
At that moment, he had no choice but to brace himself and gather all his flame power onto his right fist. His right fist expanded dramatically, enveloped in a layer of fiery red light.
The light exuded a scorching heat and the power to incinerate everything.
It was like the hammer of judgment from hell, striking the blue sphere with a soul-wrenching force.
“Wow!” A wave of uproar swept through the crowd. Many watched with wide eyes, feeling as if their hearts had been struck.
The next moment, amidst a thunderous roar, intense heat instantly surged outwards. Mo Qi and Li Sanlang were both sent flying backward, the red and blue light rapidly dissipating.
After being thrown back several yards, Li Sanlang spun in the air and once again swung his Qiankun Rings towards Mo Qi.
Mo Qi’s body retreated rapidly, his entire arm almost dislocated, rendered stiff and unable to be lifted.
However, before he could stabilize himself, Li Sanlang spun his skates, swung his Qiankun Rings, and attacked Mo Qi with overwhelming force.
Upon contact, another thunderous roar erupted, spiritual energy surged, and Mo Qi was once again sent flying backward. Li Sanlang, after a spin, pounced forward again, his posture like a fierce tiger descending a mountain, its fangs bared, its gaping maw exuding a bloody aura.
Mo Qi felt as if his entire being had been shattered. Although there were no visible wounds on his body, he felt utterly broken.
Li Sanlang, on the other hand, had several holes pierced into him and bore multiple injuries. Yet, he was now imposing, like an enraged lion, madly lunging at its prey.
Mo Qi was still forcibly condensing his flame divine ability. However, almost everyone felt that with Li Sanlang’s next strike, Mo Qi would at least be reduced to a pulp of flesh, or perhaps even have his soul scattered.
Sighs of commiseration arose from the surrounding crowd.
Some at the Heavenly God Academy spat. “He should have died long ago, why is he still struggling?”
“Indeed, losing sooner or later is still losing, why bother?”
“I think his spirit is commendable. At least he proved that people from the Heavenly Tier Academy are not entirely useless; they can still take a few blows.”
Among the Heavenly Tier Academy members, some were clutching their scalps and shouting, “Surrender! Surrender quickly! There’s no need to risk your life!”
Others said, “Damn it, why did you go up? If Murong Jing had gone up, this wouldn’t be the result.”
“Indeed, he deserves to die. Not only did he disrupt my viewing of Murong Jing, but he also caused us to lose. How detestable, he deserves death!”
At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Mo Qi’s mind, but the thought of surrendering was not among them.
Amidst the myriad of thoughts, one peculiar notion suddenly surfaced.
Perceiving all things in heaven and earth, upon touching his soul, a fiery red expanse seemed to rise from the depths of his soul, gradually restoring a trace of warmth to his frigid soul.
“Die!” Li Sanlang had instantly arrived before Mo Qi, raising his furiously spinning Qiankun Rings and smashing them down towards Mo Qi’s head.
This strike was destined to splatter brains.
This strike was destined to be earth-shattering.
This strike was destined to be met with thunderous applause.
This strike was destined to be showered with flowers.
In short, die.
Lu Xiaoyue and Xue Nu’s faces turned ashen.
Lu Xiaoyue covered her eyes, unable to watch any longer.
However, when the wheel struck down, it was silent. It struck nothing, and it missed. Mo Qi had simply vanished into thin air.
The surrounding crowd was also extremely shocked. Their eyes hadn’t blinked, they relished scenes of splattered brains and gushing blood, but strangely, Mo Qi had just disappeared.
Where had he gone?
Lu Xiaoyue heard no sound of bone-shattering. Instead, she felt an unexpected tranquility. She moved her hands away and opened her eyes. To her surprise, Mo Qi had vanished. Had he been beaten away?
Li Sanlang was also spinning in the arena, his eight eyeballs rolling as he searched for Mo Qi’s figure everywhere.
Invisibility technique?
It didn’t seem like it. Even the best invisibility techniques would have spiritual energy fluctuations, but he couldn’t sense Mo Qi’s presence at all. Could it be that he had used some bizarre movement technique to escape at that moment?
That was also unlikely. No matter how fast the movement technique, in front of his wind-fire wheel, there should have been some trace of a shadow.
At this moment, someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise, “Look, the sky!”
Everyone, including Li Sanlang, looked up in unison.
They saw a vast expanse of red light overhead, the sky filled with rosy clouds.
However, the red clouds were not descending. That expanse of red light, like the collapse of the firmament, was rapidly falling.
It grew closer and closer.
Until, at a certain moment, the red light revealed its true form. It was round, fiery red like a banner, clearly a sun descending from the heavens.
In the center of the red light, there seemed to be a small black dot. As it descended, the black dot also grew larger, resembling a human figure.
As the red sun descended, it also unleashed boundless heat, scorching the earth.
The surrounding temperature gradually rose, as if the ground had become a furnace, making people feel suffocated and hot.
Simultaneously, an irresistible force descended from the sky. In the face of that force, everyone was insignificant and powerless, like snakes, insects, rats, and ants compared to an elephant.
“Sun Chasing Star Plucking Art!” The Dean looked up at the sky, a blood-red smile on his face.
A wave of exclamations arose. “Ah? Is this the legendary Sun Chasing Star Plucking Art? It’s too magical.”
On a tall building, Mo Yigu’s weathered face revealed a gratified smile. “Finally, there is a successor!”
The red light descended rapidly, and many people instinctively fled into the distance.
The scorching temperature continued to rise, and the surrounding trees burst into flames with a roar. Smoke seemed to rise from the earth, and sweat flowed uncontrollably from people’s bodies, instantly soaking their clothes, only to be dried by the fiery red light, and then sweat poured down like a waterfall…
The invisible force seemed like mountains from the heavens descending, their might to crush everything already spilling down from afar.
Li Sanlang’s pupils dilated infinitely, as if he saw death descending infinitely.
But he still instinctively held the Qiankun Ring in his hand, raised his head to the sky, and prepared to meet the fatal blow.
At this moment, a voice came from the horizon: “The fourth round of magical power combat, Heavenly Tier Academy wins!”
It was the voice of the divine maiden referee.
The red light rapidly contracted, and the scorching pain and oppressive feeling also gradually decreased.
“I haven’t lost!” Li Sanlang’s stern voice rang out. At the same time, he swung his arm. With a whoosh, the Qiankun Ring suddenly expanded hundreds of times. With a hum like a muffled thunderclap, the giant wheel soared into the air and smashed towards the red light.
The red light stopped contracting and continued to roar down fiercely.
With a thunderous roar, fragments of flames flew in all directions. The Qiankun Ring vanished without a trace, like a mud ox entering the sea.
The expanse of red light continued to descend like an overwhelming tide, unstoppable.
Centered on Li Sanlang’s position, the ground suddenly caved in, instantly forming a deep pit.
Li Sanlang stubbornly raised his hands to the sky, attempting to resist the soul-crushing force from above, but he was powerless. He suddenly knelt on the ground, still unable to stand, and then collapsed onto the ground.
The red light stacked from top to bottom like a red water column, rapidly compressing.
Redness filled the ground, and then, like red dandelions, it scattered petals, spraying red light in all directions.
What followed was a red light that consumed everything.
It was as if all phenomena had perished! Everything returned to nothingness!
After a long, long time, the red light dissipated. A figure descended, landing in the deep pit, lying next to Li Sanlang.
Li Sanlang’s body revealed its original form. His entire body was charred black and was still twitching slightly.
Silence enveloped the surroundings; even the wind had stopped.
Then, Mo Qi slowly got up. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he swayed, looking left and right.
After finally spotting the embroidery needle on the ground, he picked it up and staggered over. He walked to Li Sanlang’s side, crouched down, and used the embroidery needle to poke Li Sanlang’s lips.
It was then that everyone remembered that he had said he would sew Li Sanlang’s mouth shut!
Li Sanlang’s eyes slightly opened. His body, limp as mud, twitched but did not move. He could only look at Mo Qi in despair.
Why was this brat so stubborn?
Wouldn’t this kind of behavior disrupt the peaceful and friendly relations between the two continents?
Xing Mian leaped forward and flew towards Mo Qi.
“This is too much!” Min Zhiyuan said indignantly, leaping up, ready to teach Mo Qi a lesson.
Fen Tian had been holding back a surge of anger. He had returned to achieve merit and build his career, but he had only returned to be a spectator. The frustration in his heart was imaginable.
Seeing someone provoke him at this moment was the perfect time to vent his anger, and also the perfect time to showcase his strength.
Let me show you my true strength, let me show you what crushing defeat means.
We returned specifically to crush you. You didn’t see it on the stage, but now you will witness it.
