Hollow black areas gradually appeared in the chaotic battlefield in a corner of the Fenghua Plain, like seriously ill abscesses emerging from the earth one after another. Dark hell flames then burst out from these abscess-like bubbles. It swallowed up all the living things around it that were affected. In the large-scale magic attack that did not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, Duan Qing, who shuttled through these black bubbles, became the first person to escape from this area. Holding the petite girl in his arms, he gritted his teeth and rushed to a piece of land on the banks of the Tagbila River. Behind the rocks, he completely released the energy contained in a purple rune floating above his head - since the young gray-robed magician rejoined this dark battlefield, he has never had his hands free. He could only use the stored rune magic to fight reluctantly. The Magic Empire, which had just seen the large violet flower, was quite wary of this familiar power, and was busy several times when the rune appeared. The ground scattered to avoid. Floating far away in the high black night, Lava Thaurissan, who was also frowning, has not easily landed since that high-intensity magic attack. He continued to threaten with various long-range compound magic. The survival of that "rabbit" seems to want to use this method to test the true strength of the intruder: "Are you the rumored successor to the Lord of Violet?"
"He's just her little magic apprentice, not a successor."
The purple runes shone in an extremely fast arc toward the sky, and the swinging trajectory also passed by Lava's bald head. Duan Qing, who was feeling windy at his feet, then put away his thoughts of continuing to interfere with the opponent's spell casting. , concentrating on looking for a way out: "This is not the first time we have met, although you may not remember me."
"Hmph, as the Speaker of the Magic Council, I really don't have the need to remember you humble adventurers." With one hand burning with flames and the other wrapped around earth and rocks, Lava quietly walked around the side of the river: "But if you are the apprentice of the Lord of Violet, you are entitled to my respect."
"Come on, my mentor doesn't have a good look on you." He gestured wildly towards Asahi Dongsheng and Gedman, who were still fighting on the edge of the front line not far away. Duan Qing, who was leaning against a stone, made a big gesture behind him. The shouting voice still seemed calm: "I heard that you betrayed that lady in the empire's Tanzanian city and almost caused her to lose her soul."
"We did have a cooperative relationship at the time, and we didn't expect that she could still survive after suffering such a fate." The red of the flames and the yellow of the thick soil alternately flashed with the movement of Lava's arm, seeming to echo him The voice on the battlefield amplified a bit: "It seems that her destiny has really changed significantly. It seems-"
"Those of you who like to delve into the void do have the power to change the future."
Strong bubbles emerged from the river directly in front of Duan Qing. The originally cold and cold river water also became boiling in the next moment. Then a huge lava column also rose in the center of the Tagbila River with Rava's low smile, Duan Qing was still looking at the river on the other side, his sight blocked. Still in the fierce battlefield that was constantly oppressing, Duan Qing, who was holding Nina in his arms, sighed and stood up. Feeling the burning breath of Chi Chi, he then walked out of his hiding place and came face to face with the floating figure. The Grand Mage of the Magic Empire in the air looked at each other from a distance: "It seems that I can't leave in peace unless I deal with you."
"We don't want to be enemies with the Lord of Violet, even at this moment when the threat is approaching and the war is imminent." Amidst the surrounding scene of lava flames rising one after another, Lava, who stopped laughing, fell into the gap between the fire pillars. He showed a humble expression: "I only have one condition: put that girl down. This way you can escape unscathed."
"I don't understand. I'm just a believer in destiny. Does he really pose any threat to you?" Without any intention of letting go of the person in his hands, Duan Qing shook his head towards Lava: "Or there is some private relationship between you. Deep hatred?"
"There's no such thing as deep hatred. It's just about inflicting necessary lessons on those who deliberately and continuously make enemies of us." Lava looked beyond Duan Qing and looked further back at those who were still hurriedly escaping. Civilian of Fenghua Town: "As for why this poor little girl sacrificed her life for these unrelated people and faced my 'Earth Impact' head-on--"
"Then she can only ask herself."
The sudden appearance of explosive flames bloomed on the side of the bald man, reflecting the resolute face that flickered in the dark sky for a moment. Lava Thaurissan, who had long sensed this fixed-point casting, then laughed and moved forward. He stretched out his hand and slowly pressed all the rising lava pillars towards Duan Qing's direction. A series of purple magic runes unfolded in his hands. Duan Qing turned around and started running. The green wind at his feet was like a green magic flower in the crater. The smile on his face became stronger and stronger as he tried his best to fly. Finally, it turned into a loud roar and jumped in front of one of the lava pillars: "Rune fusion!"
"Elemental storm!"
The four-color magic elements produced colorful brilliance from the side-by-side overlapping purple runes, and winding magic hurricanes flowed out from between the broken rune handles. The elemental storms that were twisted together also followed this wave. The strong rotation of the hurricane inspired powerful destructive force, and an obvious crack was pierced on the surface of the nearest lava pillar. Without hesitation, he jumped into the gap. Duan Qing, who curled up with Nina in his arms, also appeared on the outside of the encirclement of the sure-fire molten fire. He used this violent method to break through the encirclement and then seemed to be lost. Most of the strength was average, and he fell towards the steaming river below: "It seems that the previous alchemy research results may still be applied to... actual combat..."
"I'm coming, uncle!"
Another soaring flame appeared on the other side of the river. The blazing light that crashed forward also blocked other lava pillars that were still approaching. I don't know when the Thousand-fingered Crane appeared on the other side of the river. At this time, he was also holding his staff high, and his long red hair was shining in the blazing red light coming out of his body: "I'll stop that bald pervert! You guys hurry up -"
She didn't finish her words, because Duan Qing, who had lost his strength, seemed to be about to fall into the boiling river. A bird that instantly peeked out of the night flew over the top of the river at the fastest speed. The gray-robed magician and Nina, who were together, hit the safe river bank heavily: "Wake up!"
"……It is you."
After a moment of inhalation, there were screams of pain and agony. Duan Qing, who couldn't bear the pressure and rolled to the ground in a panic, then looked at the visitor and smiled bitterly: "Really, you guys are laughing."
"Stop talking nonsense, and - can you calm down a little bit?" Mengzhu, who also had scars from being burned and forced to the ground after falling to the ground, climbed up from the gravel pit by the river, shouted with a look of shock and anger. Said: "You are holding a person and you have to fight the boss head-on? Is your brain really burned out by the lava?"
"It's just... ahem, I just think it's interesting." Duan Qing seemed to understand that this was not the time to relax, and with the help of the other party, Duan Qing gritted his teeth and stood up: "After all, it's the trouble you asked for."
"How can it be done without making it a little more difficult?"
Several more pillars of lava and fire burst out of the ground appeared behind Duan Qing, signaling that the pursuit had not stopped and that the crisis was still approaching. The hellish scene was still approaching. Thousand-fingered cranes that had already flown here followed He also passed by the gray-robed magician and his group, and with a smile, he used the wide-area magic shield in his hand to form a second line of defense against the other party's pursuit. A trace of disdainful contempt flashed through his heart. The movement that Rava Thaurissan, who was driving those dark red hell flames, originally wanted to continue to advance, suddenly stopped. More and more appeared on the other side of the Tagbila River. The black shadow also emerged from the boundless darkness at this moment, dotting the stars representing their respective elemental attributes in the sky above the battlefield: "——Look, more reinforcements have appeared."
"It should be the troops from the Mage Council branch under Qian Zhihe."
Staring at the fierce battle images displayed on the magic screen all the time, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who had been watching the battle, finally responded to the murmuring words: "But shouldn't she be busy rebuilding the branch in the empire now? She How did you get here?"
"Of course I called you." He let out a proud chuckle and caressed his cheek while whispering: "No one is more professional than our little Thousand-Fingered Crane in dealing with this complicated battlefield in the Magic Empire. Anyway, she is probably not willing to engage in business and construction in Redkar in peace and contentment, so why not let her teleport here with her people."
"The more this time comes, the more necessary it is to mobilize all the help that can be mobilized." Walking in front of Xue Ling Huan Bing again, he whispered and nodded the other person's forehead with a dimple like a flower: "It is the stupidest choice to blindly charge alone. , little girl from the country."
"..."
Being so angry at the other party's words and actions that he couldn't speak, Xue Ling Huan Bing mumbled and turned his eyes to the other side after a long while: "Forget it, for the sake of helping Duan Qing..."
"We are a family, and it is common sense to help each other." He smiled maturely and charmingly, and murmured. He turned around and exposed the smooth neck covered in white armor in front of Xue Ling Huan Bing: "Although it can already be called the 'predecessor' ', but the relationship between us started much earlier than you did, and the love game between us is far from over."
"Game? This is not a game." Xue Ling Huanbing stared at the other party's back as he gradually walked away: "And in terms of time, the relationship between us must have been established earlier than you. The origin between the Duan family and the Chu family , it’s not for you, the Lou family, to judge.”
"But you were the one who broke the engagement with your own hands." The smile in the whispering reply became more obvious: "Why, you finally discovered Tianfeng's goodness and are shamelessly planning to change your mind?"
"..."
"Tianfeng is such a person, so easy to attract bees and butterflies."
Faced with the embarrassment of Xue Ling Huan Bing being choked again, Xu Yu Liushang shook his head and sighed to the other side: "Most of the playboys in big families have fallen deeper and deeper into depravity because they are too rich, because All worldly valuables such as money and beauties are at their fingertips. There are very few people who are willing to break away from this whirlpool of pleasure and cultivate their own interests in other aspects. What's more, there are very few people like him who can play in the virtual real world. How can a man who is at the top of his game not attract the favor of other women?"
"If it weren't for the efforts of me and the other members of Cruxide who were deeply involved in this, Tianfeng might sooner or later return to being like our disciples, and then return to mediocrity." Speaking of this, Xu Yu Liushang's expression became a little gloomy: "His strength, his personal charm, and the gentleness he showed inadvertently...those shining points that are unique to him may disappear in the process and become a missing part of my memory."
"So you are just trying to bring back his interest in the virtual world?" She deliberately emphasized the word "you", and the sound of Xue Ling Huan Bing's silver teeth grinding seemed to also appear in her question: "You didn't do anything Isn’t it something superfluous?”
"Ha, what sweet dream are you dreaming about?" He seemed to understand the reason why the other party asked such a question, and the smug smile he whispered seemed to want to penetrate the void library and reach every corner of the world: "Don't worry, what you should do is the same. We have already done what we shouldn't do, and he didn't have any feelings for you at that time - it would be better to say that he didn't know you at all, so why should he have any scruples? "
"Otherwise, what kind of capital would I have to keep a god like him in this world?"
Not paying attention to Xue Ling Huan Bing's ugly face, Xu Yu Liushang once again fell into the state of memories: "At that time, we were as arrogant and indulgent as we could, and brought the word 'willful' to almost every inch of the game. My title of witch It was at that time that he broke through, and an invincible god-man who had never met an opponent finally turned into a big devil who caused trouble everywhere and even offended everyone."
"Don't get me wrong, 'everyone can kill him' is not the reason why Cruhid finally fell, nor is it the reason why he finally disappeared." At this point, she suddenly woke up and turned around to emphasize in her voice. A little more deliberately: "However, since that incident three years ago and until I found him again now, he has indeed changed a lot again, and he is even a little unrecognizable to me."
"He has become more like a... mortal, with flesh and blood, strong and weak." The blue-haired woman walked up to the white-haired woman with a smile, and gently poked the other person's face with her finger: "Maybe this time It’s my turn to ask the question: Why did he change?”
"..."
Recalling all the past encounters with that man in his mind, Xue Ling Huan Bing's face that had always looked cold gradually relaxed, and An Yu Ninglan, who had been quietly watching the confrontation between the two women, also shook her head secretly at this time. , slowly walked forward and reminded both parties: "Miss Yushang, Miss Lingbing."
"The battle over there, sir, seems to be over soon."
