Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 170: A Stunning Explosion
Hua Mantian, who was still possessed by the Holy Angel, was getting closer and closer. Xue Wuxia did not continue to use the third pseudo-artifact, and finally returned to the traditional tactics, starting to move quickly, keeping a distance from Hua Mantian, and casting magic to attack. It may be that considering that Hua Mantian was still under the protection of the Holy Angel at this time and could not cause direct damage to him, he did not launch the powerful "Five Thunders" that required a lot of mental energy, and used the "Lightning Chain" with a relatively fast release speed. The attack power was not strong, but it could effectively delay Hua Mantian's actions. The "Spirit Gathering Array" that was set up at the cost of two "Thunder Pools" also fully demonstrated its power. The effect of enhancing magic attack power is not yet obvious, but the casting speed feels at least doubled compared to before. When Xue Wuxia exerted all his strength, one "lightning chain" after another flew out. The previous one had just disappeared when the next one had already taken shape and was launched, making Hua Mantian overwhelmed. Every few steps forward, he had to face an attack of a "lightning chain". Whether he was hit or dodged, it inevitably affected his movements. He was unable to approach Xue Wuxia smoothly, and achieved a protective effect similar to that of the "Thunder Pool".
Of course, if Xue Wuxia's means were limited to this, her prospects would still not be optimistic. The lethality of "Lightning Chain" was limited. Even if Hua Mantian's "Invitation Card" lost its effect and returned to the state of being possessed by the six-winged Seraphim, it would still not cause him much damage. Even if "Lightning Chain" was combined with "Five Thunders" to enhance the attack power, with Hua Mantian's strength and combat experience, and the advantage of using one less pseudo-artifact, it might not be easy to kill Xue Wuxia, but there were too many means to form a tie without life and death, and he would still win the game in the end. And looking at Hua Mantian's actions, it was obvious that he also clearly realized this and did not have the determination to kill Xue Wuxia. After relying on the protection of the Holy Angel and forcibly attacking without success, Yi Shi returned to the normal state of being possessed by the six-winged Seraphim, and immediately adopted guerrilla tactics, patiently looking for opportunities to attack, and no longer relying on strength to take risks. After experiencing several setbacks, this guy seemed to have restrained his previous arrogance and became more cautious and pragmatic. He was not affected at all by the sighs of the audience. It seemed that he was just as Afeng said, not the kind of rich kid who was uneducated and not so easy to deal with.
However, Xue Wuxia's next move proved that her confidence before the game was definitely not blind arrogance, but a well-planned one. Just after Hua Mantian's "Summoning God Card" failed and turned to a free fight, she used the third pseudo-artifact. A purple ball the size of a basketball flashed above her head, spinning rapidly, with electric currents flowing on the surface of the ball, constantly making slight "pop" sounds.
This should also be a relatively powerful pseudo-artifact of the thunder magician profession - "Imprisonment Electric Sphere", which quickly shoots out beams of electricity to attack, with an attack distance of 100 meters. The direct damage it can cause is not great, but it has a strong electric shock paralysis effect, which can delay the opponent's actions. The important thing is that this attack is automatic, without the user's distraction and control, and can attack multiple targets within the range at the same time. It can be said to be a super enhanced version of the "Lightning Chain" magic. Moreover, according to the nature of the "Imprisonment Electric Sphere", it will show different powers depending on the difference in the basic ability of the user. Xue Wuxia is currently under the effect of the "Gathering Spirit Array", which improves the basic ability, making it more difficult for Hua Mantian to resist.
Once the "Imprisoning Electric Sphere" was used, the situation on the field was immediately reversed. Hua Mantian, who was within the attack range, was hit by the released electric beams one after another. His body kept stagnating, and he could not maintain the continuity of his movements at all, let alone expect to approach Xue Wuxia to launch an attack. Xue Wuxia was finally able to free her hands and began to use "Five Thunders" to launch a fierce attack. In conjunction with the "Imprisoning Electric Sphere", she always chose to use "Five Thunders" when Hua Mantian was hit by the electric beam and his movements were stagnant. Originally, under normal circumstances, one side held the high-level holy weapon "Lightning Rod" and the other side was possessed by a level nine six-winged seraph. According to the strength of both sides, even with the delayed action effect of the "Imprisoning Electric Sphere", Xue Wuxia's "Five Thunders" could not hit Hua Mantian completely. It was already quite good to hit him three times. However, the addition of the "Gathering Spirit Array" doubled the casting speed. As long as the timing of the attack was accurately grasped, it would not be difficult to hit all five thunders. Xue Wuxia also demonstrated her own extraordinary strength. She delivered several precise "Five Thunders" in succession with perfect timing. Combined with the enhanced attack power of the "Spirit Gathering Array", she caused considerable damage to Hua Mantian. Although she herself was temporarily unharmed, the six-winged Seraphim that possessed her was already in poor condition. The protective holy light it emitted had dimmed a lot. Obviously, it could not hold on for too long under the fierce bombardment of thunder and lightning.
The quantitative change finally led to a qualitative change. At the cost of three powerful pseudo-artifacts, his attack capability was greatly enhanced. Now it was time for Xue Wuxia to collect the results of the battle. Although Hua Mantian tried his best to retreat and escape from the attack range of the "Imprisonment Electric Ball", the "Imprisonment Electric Ball" was not like the "Thunder Pool" that could not move. With Xue Wuxia's step-by-step approach and reasonable positioning, Hua Mantian's actions were effectively restrained, making it impossible for him to escape the attack as he wished. If he did not have other means to reverse the disadvantage as soon as possible, and let Xue Wuxia continue to attack like this, he would not be able to hold on for a few minutes, and he would be turned into charcoal under the "Five Thunders" and experience another miserable defeat.
The commonly used "Summoning God Cards" can't play a big role in such a situation. Even if he summons a level 10 eight-winged holy angel to possess him, he should not have enough strength to forcibly break through the interception of the "Imprisoning Electric Ball" strengthened by the "Gathering Spirit Array". With his actions blocked, he can only passively take the beating. Facing the equally strengthened "Five Thunders", he can't last too long. Moreover, given that Hua Mantian was promoted to the eighth level profession relatively late, I'm afraid that the number of "Summoning God Cards" that can summon a level 10 holy angel will definitely not be too many, but I don't know what other means he can use to get out of the current crisis.
Facing Xue Wuxia's fierce attack, Hua Mantian tried to get rid of it repeatedly, or approached the threat but failed. He was caught in a dilemma for a while, but seemed a little hesitant. In the intervals between the battles, his left hand touched the "storage belt" several times, but he never took out any props. Such actions immediately alerted me. Similar scenes are not unfamiliar. Usually, when using hard-won powerful pseudo-artifacts, it is easy to have such performance. After all, Hua Mantian is also a player of status. The "Summoning God Card" should not make him so embarrassed. Could it be the "God's Domain"? Thinking back to the time when Supreme Honor and Long Xing Tianxia decided to use it, they had similar performances. Although Hua Mantian has been promoted to the eighth-level profession for a short time, he is still a dignified vice-chairman of the Senate. It is reasonable for him to receive a reward of "God's Domain". If he really possessed the "Realm of God" and had been cultivated to a considerable level, and was involved in it, with the help of many little angels and space conversion, Xue Wuxia might be able to protect himself with the "Imprisonment Electric Ball" and "Spirit Gathering Array", but it would probably not be so easy to kill him.
Seeing that the six-winged Seraphim had been remade and was about to perish, Hua Mantian shook his head slightly, as if sighing , and first dodged the attack of the "Imprisonment Electric Ball" while taking back the six-winged Seraphim that possessed him, and then used the "Angel Possession" skill to summon a six-winged Seraphim in good condition. After completing these, he finally used another pseudo-artifact. But it was not the "God's Domain" that I was worried about. With a flash of light, Hua Mantian's whole body was covered by a layer of light golden light. Then he handed the gun to his left hand, freed his right hand and held it slightly above his shoulder. He condensed for a moment, and saw the golden light covering his whole body flowing rapidly and converging to his right hand. For a while, the golden light was so strong that it formed a two or three meter long light gun. He threw it hard at Xue Wuxia and instantly shot in front of Xue Wuxia, which was very similar to the long-range light gun attack I had seen during the battle with Michael's clone when the "Dead Scepter" recognized its master.
With Xue Wuxia's agility, it was too late to dodge in time, but she was not panicked. With a slight wave of the "Lightning Rod", a purple light shield appeared in front of her, and there were faint currents on the surface. It should be the lightning protection magic "Purple Lightning Shield", which blocked the light gun in time. Of course, a mere magic shield could not withstand the attack of the light gun, and it was broken in an instant. The light gun broke through the shield and pierced Xue Wuxia's body, but at the same time, an invisible electric grid flashed as a protection, further weakening the power of the light gun, so it should not cause too serious damage.
After a successful attack, Hua Mantian naturally would not miss the opportunity to pursue the victory. With another move, the second light gun was formed. Just as he was about to throw it, the electric beam shot out by the "Confinement Electric Ball" hit him first. Taking advantage of the slight pause in his movement, Xue Wuxia immediately performed "Five Thunders Strike on the Top of the Head". At the same time as the light gun was fired, it also hit Hua Mantian's head. Then, Xue Wuxia promptly performed "Purple Lightning Shield" to resist the attack of the light gun and reduce the damage suffered by himself.
Hua Mantian actually used an offensive pseudo-artifact. It seemed that he was going to fight with Xue Wuxia to see who was more courageous and experienced, who could better seize the opportunity to kill the opponent, and who could hold on to the end. The long-range and rapid attack of the light gun certainly made it difficult for Xue Wuxia to dodge. Unless he left the attack range, he could only rely on his own defensive ability to withstand it, and it was difficult to take effective precautions. The "Five Thunders" obviously also interfered with Hua Mantian's actions. The speed and accuracy of the second light gun attack seemed to be slightly inferior to the first. Judging from Xue Wuxia's reaction, he should be able to hold on. He did not use the "Lightning Chain" to strengthen the containment of Hua Mantian, and tried to avoid being directly attacked. He still cooperated with the "Imprisonment Electric Ball" and used the "Five Thunders" to actively attack, showing a posture of fearlessness and determination to fight Hua Mantian to the death.
For Hua Mantian, this was a rather risky choice, and it was definitely not what he wanted. Originally, he only used a pseudo-divine arrogance, and took the initiative in the game. He only needed to get a draw to win and advance, but Xue Wuxia forced him to attack against attack, and he was no longer sure that he could win. Seeing Xue Wuxia resolutely implement the tactics of rushing to attack, using "Five Thunders" to fight against the light gun, fighting for injuries, and never giving Hua Mantian a chance to breathe, she did not show any hesitation in the process, as if Hua Mantian's response strategy had been expected by her. Perhaps it can be said that Hua Mantian was led by Xue Wuxia from the beginning. It seemed that because of Xue Wuxia's unexpected move, he easily took the initiative. As the situation developed, he gradually became passive and no longer had the advantage. Maybe even if Hua Mantian really used the "God's Domain", a growing pseudo-artifact, Xue Wuxia, who had already known the functional characteristics of the "God's Domain" from my mouth, also had a way to deal with it, and would not let Hua Mantian escape her poisonous hands easily.
The power of the light gun should be quite strong. According to my experience, it can definitely cause considerable damage to the magician. However, after testing the actual damage it caused, Xue Wuxia obviously did not take it seriously and adopted a more radical offensive method. She no longer distracted herself from using the "Purple Lightning Shield". She only relied on the protection of the invisible power grid and concentrated on controlling the "Five Thunders" to strengthen the attack on Hua Mantian, which made her even more desperate. Hua Mantian seemed to believe in the attack effect of the light gun. Moreover, facing Xue Wuxia's aggressive attitude, there was probably no better way to deal with it. He also insisted on actively attacking. The two sides went back and forth, shooting and thundering. For a time, there were dangers everywhere, but no one was willing to give in. Such a fierce offensive battle, one of which was a beautiful female magician, made the audience who were still sighing and criticizing couldn't help but shout and cheer, cheering for them, and the game entered a white-hot stage.
Hua Mantian was trying his best to throw out the light gun in time, trying his best to cause more damage to Xue Wuxia, while Xue Wuxia also used "Five Thunders" with all her strength, not giving Hua Mantian the opportunity to take back the severely injured six-winged seraphim and re-use "Angel Possession". The possessed angel that was not taken back in time finally died in the battle and began to cause direct damage to Hua Mantian continuously. However, Xue Wuxia's situation was not optimistic either. After being attacked by several light guns in succession and not paying attention to protection, she should not have much health left.
Seeing that the winner was about to be revealed, Xue had no time to use the opportunity she had just used to perform the "Five Thunders" and did not move in time. She closed her eyes and recited a few sentences. Suddenly, her chest lit up, and a necklace slowly floated up, emitting a faint white light that enveloped her body. Then she continued to attack, not giving Hua Mantian a chance to breathe.
It was the "Turning Back to Heaven Necklace". I remember that only Afeng in the Tongxin League was lucky enough to obtain it by completing a specific task. There was no rumor that Xue Wuxia had it. It was surprising that she suddenly used it at this time. I couldn't help but think of Afeng's "Turning Back to Heaven Necklace". Since he obtained the artifact "Blood-sucking Spear", it seems that he has never been seen wearing or using the "Turning Back to Heaven Necklace" in battle. I remember that a few days ago, we drank too much and it seemed that he vaguely mentioned that he gave Xue Wuxia a gift as a thank you or compensation. Maybe it was this "Turning Back to Heaven Necklace".
At the critical moment, Xue Wuxia suddenly used the "Turning Heaven Necklace", which immediately reversed the situation. The original odds were fifty-fifty, but now the balance of victory has clearly tilted towards Xue Wuxia. The effect of the light gun has not yet worn off. Even if Hua Mantian wants to use other pseudo-artifacts to remedy it, it is too late. The defeat is already established and there is no way to turn the tide. Last time it was Afeng, this time it was Xue Wuxia. The reason why Hua Mantian lost the individual competition was not only because of the Tongxin League, but also because of this "Turning Heaven Necklace" that may have belonged to Afeng. I really don't know what Hua Mantian felt in his heart at the moment of death and defeat.
Before the game, Hua Mantian, who was considered by many players to have a good chance, lost to Xue Wuxia and was eliminated. He lost the qualification to advance to the top 64 of the individual competition. It was a big upset. It was said that even within the resistance alliance, many members bet on Hua Mantian to win when they bought official lottery tickets. Such a result immediately caused a lot of curses from the audience. After the defeat, Hua Mantian did not stay in the arena for a moment after his resurrection. He hurriedly slipped away with an expression that could not be described as annoyed or frustrated. I don't know where he hid to be sad. Xue Wuxia, who had made an unprecedented breakthrough and advanced to the top 64 of the individual competition for the first time, enjoyed the joy of victory on the spot and generously accepted Afeng's open flower congratulations, which triggered a new wave of cheers.
This time, the Church of Light shot itself in the foot. They originally thought that Hua Mantian should be strong enough to defeat Xue Wuxia, so they hyped up the game before the game and deliberately exaggerated the impact of the battle between Xue and Hua, intending to deal a greater blow to the momentum of our Tongxin League and the resistance alliance after winning, but they didn't expect such a result. Hua Mantian was suppressed by Xue Wuxia in the game and could only respond passively. Except for the last stage of the attack against attack, he could show courage and bloodiness. There were almost no highlights in the whole process. The painstaking design made Xue Wuxia famous. He was named "a blockbuster" by Long Piaopiao and became the cover character of this round of the battle report of "Tian Media".
