Chapter 1155: Chapter 1155: Encirclent and Interception
If they could seize the rare treasure, the Water Fire Spirit Pearl, during this opportunity, it would be within reach to dominate the world and ascend to the pinnacle of power.
While indulging in their daydream of effortless success, the two suddenly sensed a wave of heat surging from ahead. They froze for a mont and quickly saw a torrent of flas sweeping through the entire cave like an unending tide, racing toward them swiftly.
Tian Xiaozi and the man in black cloak were shocked and imdiately turned to flee in the direction they had co from.
As Tian Xiaozi turned around, he sensed imminent danger. Hidden within the Invisible Bubble were Ye You and Qin Sisi, but he couldn’t see them, assuming instead that the guardian beast of the cave was chasing after him. Without looking back, he directly conjured his magic wings and leaped into the air.
Tian Xiaozi’s movents were swift. Ye You had initially planned to use the Fire Dragon Lock Chain to bind him and toss him into the surging flas behind them. However, Tian Xiaozi suddenly took flight, causing the Fire Dragon Lock Chain to miss by a fraction and only wrap around his ankle.
Suspended in mid-air, Tian Xiaozi abruptly felt his body halt as sothing pulled at his ankle, preventing him from escaping.
Turning his head in desperation, he saw a purple Fire Dragon Lock Chain tightly coiled around his ankle. The other end, however, seed to lead into a void.
Tian Xiaozi was no fool—on the contrary, he was extraordinarily clever and knew Ye You well. He instantly deduced that this was Ye You’s doing and understood that Ye You was hiding within the Invisible Bubble.
But in this critical mont, Tian Xiaozi couldn’t afford to let his anger against Ye You distract him. He imdiately unleashed the Cloud Water Thorn to sever Ye You’s Fire Dragon Lock Chain before speeding toward the cave exit.
Ye You wasn’t about to let him escape so easily. While giving chase, he continually cast magic skills to disrupt Tian Xiaozi.
Qin Sisi pulled her hand away from Ye You’s grip, wrapped her arms around his waist, and said, "I’ll fly, you focus on fighting."
Ye You cast a grateful glance at Qin Sisi and promptly followed her suggestion, letting Qin Sisi steer the Wings of Rainbow while he devoted himself to dealing with Tian Xiaozi.
Despite carrying the weight of two people, the Wings of Rainbow, being an Ancient Artifact, were much faster than ordinary magic wings, allowing Qin Sisi and Ye You to gradually close the distance between themselves and Tian Xiaozi.
"Inescapable Net!" Ye You deployed a Wood Attribute magic skill to stop Tian Xiaozi from escaping.
Back at Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, he had studied Wood Magic for two years before temporarily abandoning it in the third year. However, he later pledged to Mo Liu to beco a High-level Alchemist, prompting him to resu Wood Magic training. By now, his mastery of Wood Magic was quite advanced.
Tian Xiaozi recognized the exceptional nature of the flas behind him—being caught in them would make a safe retreat unlikely. Thus, he focused wholeheartedly on fleeing, responding to Ye You’s repeated attacks only with defensive maneuvers and evasion.
As the Inescapable Net was about to ensnare Tian Xiaozi, he suddenly turned, wielding a massive golden blade to hack frantically at the net. The green vines woven together to form the Inescapable Net were quickly sliced into pieces.
Tian Xiaozi let out a cold laugh, casting a dismissive and sinister glance in Ye You’s direction before turning back to continue his flight.
His efforts to destroy the Inescapable Net had cost him precious ti, allowing Ye You and Qin Sisi to close the gap even further, while the encroaching flas drew nearer as well.
Ye You, his mind racing, decided to stop attacking Tian Xiaozi altogether, instead flapping his magic wings to aid Qin Sisi in flying faster. In no ti, the two overtook Tian Xiaozi and the man in the black cloak, positioning themselves ahead.
The cave exit was now within reach. Ye You knew he had to stop Tian Xiaozi from leaving. He consud a Spirit Revitalizing Pill to quickly restore his spent Magic Power, then raised the Phoenix Scepter, channeling the power of Fire Attribute Magic to conjure a Flaming Shield.
Though primarily designed for defense, Ye You ingeniously repurposed the shield as a barrier to block their path.
Flying ahead of Tian Xiaozi, the man in the black cloak nearly crashed into the Flaming Shield. Without defense, such an impact would send him rebounding back and leave him injured by the Ziwei Heaven Fire.
Tian Xiaozi soon arrived, frowning as he stared at the Flaming Shield. Sharing a glance with the man in the black cloak, the two simultaneously raised their palms and unleashed their strongest magic skills against the shield.
Under the combined assault of two evenly matched Magic Gods, Ye You trembled, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. The Flaming Shield weakened significantly and seed on the verge of shattering with another hit.
If not for the Phoenix Scepter’s augnting power, Ye You’s Flaming Shield would have collapsed much sooner against the joint attack from the two Magic Gods.
Distressed and full of concern, Qin Sisi released a surge of Fire Attribute Magic, reinforcing the Flaming Shield with all her might.
Biting his tongue tip, Ye You spat out a mouthful of blood onto the Flaming Shield. The magical blood of the Jiuxi Royal Family carried mysterious potency, partially enhancing the power of magic skills.
With Qin Sisi’s aid and Ye You’s blood, the dimd Flaming Shield regained its brilliance, bursting with purple and golden flas that danced incessantly.
Tian Xiaozi’s expression turned fierce as he slowly raised both arms, gathering all his Magic Energy. A radiant sphere of Fire Attribute Magic Energy began forming in front of him.
Ye You’s heart grew heavy. He could tell the concentrated brownish aura around Tian Xiaozi marked him as a High-level Magic God—a rank above Ye You in power.
The man in black cloak’s origins were unknown, but the unmistakable brown aura emanating from him also spoke of considerable strength.
As the two Magic Gods prepared their second full-powered strike, Ye You couldn’t be sure whether he could withstand it.
"Phoenix Fire!" Tian Xiaozi roared, unleashing his magic skill. At the mont he thrust his palms forward, he abruptly redirected the devastating wave of Magic Energy toward the surging flas deeper within the cave.
This wasn’t an act of rcy but a sudden realization on Tian Xiaozi’s part that Ye You wasn’t his greatest threat. The fiercest danger ca from the guardian beast within the cave.
If he focused solely on defeating Ye You, the flas unleashed by the guardian beast would soon engulf him. Even if he managed to kill Ye You, he would still face inevitable annihilation. Thus, Tian Xiaozi chose to confront the Yin-Yang Beast instead.
The man in black cloak, seeing Tian Xiaozi’s actions, quickly followed suit, launching his magic skills at the roaring flas.
The desperate resistance from the two Magic Gods caused the engulfing fire to weaken slightly, revealing so gaps around the cave walls.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye You carried Qin Sisi into a ravine on the cave’s left side. This ravine once flowed with spring water released by the Water Spirit Pearl, though it had since been scorched dry by the Yin-Yang Beast.
Perhaps due to lingering Water Spirit Force from the spring, this part of the ravine had the largest gaps, making it the perfect refuge for Ye You and Qin Sisi.
