Chapter 235 The Ultimate Winner
Chapter 235 The Ultimate Winner
In fact, under normal circumstances, magic soldiers only have one type of attack; there are no defensive magic soldiers.
However, if a master craftsman has enough crafting materials, he can imitate a certain magic weapon and barely manage to craft a defensive magic weapon.
Unfortunately, these forcibly crafted magical weapons are not true magical weapons in the real sense, because they cannot be used to cast defensive spells. They can only be used directly, like shields in mortal armies, to withstand enemy attacks.
The difference between the two is that the defensive magic weapon is far more powerful than ordinary ironware. It can block ordinary magic attacks. The specific strength of its defensive ability is somewhat similar to that of a counterfeit magic weapon of the same grade.
Du Fan frowned and pondered for a while, then figured out what was going on. Therefore, he was not too interested in the small blue mirror. Although the small blue mirror seemed extraordinary, its defensive capabilities were probably not as strong as his physical strength when he was using the Copper Iron Arm Forging Technique.
"For some reason, it is impossible to refine a true defensive type of magic weapon in the cultivation world. Otherwise, the defensive techniques performed with the help of this item should be quite amazing."
"If only I could cast the Golden Bell Shield with the help of those magical soldiers..." Du Fan shook his head with great regret, then turned his gaze back to the distant battlefield.
At this point, the battle had reached a stalemate.
Above their heads, in mid-air, stood a golden sphere about ten feet in size, its surface glowing with shimmering light, radiating brilliance like a golden sun.
Opposite the golden sun was a raging crimson cloud of fire, thick smoke billowing from it, radiating intense heat. Fist-sized fireballs rained down from the cloud, crashing down on the golden sun.
Whenever a fireball approaches, the golden sun shines brightly, casting a golden glow that ripples in the air. A golden halo suddenly forms around the sun, blocking the waves of fire rain and preventing them from advancing. Only the dense sound of rain pattering on banana leaves remains.
"This is finally getting interesting." Du Fan's eyes suddenly lit up. He had been feeling a bit drowsy, but seeing this, he immediately perked up and even sat up straighter.
The immense magical power expended by the two confronting each other was astonishing. After half an hour, both Wang Meng, who was wielding the golden sun, and Fairy Hongxia, who was manipulating the crimson fire clouds, were starting to feel the strain.
Wang Meng's face was pale and his whole body was trembling. Eighty or ninety percent of his magic power had already been depleted. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was at his last gasp. He hated Fairy Hongxia to the extreme. Her fire attribute technique was exactly what countered his metal attribute technique. Otherwise, with his profound magic power, he would never be in such a sorry state.
The Fairy of Red Clouds opposite him was no better off than Wang Meng. Her beautiful face was also as pale as paper, and her slender fingers, which were making hand seals, trembled slightly, with even her knuckles shaking.
As for Wang Meng, Fairy Hongxia was extremely horrified at this moment. She was skilled in scheming, and this confrontation was the result of her deliberate manipulation during the previous battle.
She had already taken into account the clash between their attributes; their battle would only be most advantageous to her in the event of a direct confrontation.
However, despite this natural advantage, she still couldn't overpower her opponent by even a fraction. At most, she could only level the gap in their cultivation levels and fight to a standstill.
"We can't let this drag on any longer!" The same thought flashed through their minds at the same time.
Wang Meng's eyes flashed with a strange light, revealing a decisive look. His right arm suddenly trembled, forming a strange hand seal. At the same time, his left hand transformed from a seal into a palm, suddenly pressing down on the right hand seal, forming a rather bizarre combination of spells.
The golden sun, suspended in mid-air, suddenly flashed wildly. After expanding and contracting several times, it began to twist and shake violently. In less than a breath, it suddenly formed a golden palm several meters in size.
The golden giant hand trembled slightly in the air before transforming into a colossal palm shadow, its five fingers slightly bent, and it reached straight for the Red Cloud Fairy below.
In that instant, Wang Meng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body swayed. Clearly, this technique was extremely taxing on him and had endless consequences. He would never use it unless he was on the verge of death.
Upon seeing the scene before her, Fairy Hongxia's jade-like face suddenly showed a resolute expression. Her hand seals abruptly changed, and her jade-like fingers moved rapidly, instantly creating countless finger shadows. At the same time, she slightly opened her mouth and chanted incantations.
"burst!"
Just as the giant golden palm crashed down, the woman abruptly stopped her incantation, a cold glint flashed in her crystal eyes, and she uttered a single word, "Explode!" Her body then shot backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood that stained her chest, making her already red palace attire even more shocking to behold.
At the same time, the fiery clouds in mid-air suddenly churned like waves, howling and shaking the heavens. A terrifying aura of destruction rapidly brewed from the fiery clouds and then erupted in an instant.
After a series of loud "booms", countless balls of fire surged out instantly, sweeping wildly in all directions. An extremely hot temperature instantly filled half of the sky, and even Du Fan, who was sitting on a big tree in the distance, couldn't help but squint his eyes.
As Fairy Hongxia fled, the golden giant palm, which had been closely following her trajectory, suddenly burst open in mid-air. The resulting waves of fire pounded against the golden giant palm, causing its surface to dim rapidly and its momentum to falter.
In an instant, the two powerful spells formed from the five elements were about to clash again. However, once they were locked in a stalemate, it would not last long, because neither of them could afford to exhaust themselves!
At that moment, a strange light appeared in the eyes of both Wang Meng and Fairy Hongxia, and they both moved their lips slightly, uttering a tongue-twisting syllable that only they could hear.
The next moment, the giant golden palm suddenly trembled and exploded without any warning. The violent golden light instantly swept in all directions, scattering the layers of fire waves around it. At the same time, a golden beam of light, as solid as a physical object, flashed out and roared towards Fairy Red Cloud.
Upon closer inspection, the golden beam of light was as thick as a thigh and about ten feet long; it was clearly the index finger of the giant golden hand from before!
Amidst the layers of flames, one row stood out as particularly strange. Amidst the swirling golden light, it remained unmoved, twisting and turning like a serpent. Almost the instant the golden index finger appeared, it suddenly darted out, leaving only a crimson afterimage in the air before instantly approaching Wang Meng.
"Ah..." A scream came from Fairy Hongxia's mouth. The strange golden finger pierced through the woman's abdomen in an instant, leaving a bloody and gruesome hole, with gushing blood.
However, at the critical moment, the woman managed to dodge a short distance in one direction, thus avoiding vital organs and other critical parts of her body, and was not killed on the spot.
Even so, the gruesome blood hole, as thick as a thigh, nearly made the woman faint from the pain. In her extreme distress, she bit her lower lip hard to clear her mind.
With a swift flick of her right hand, she produced a hemostatic talisman and instantly slapped it onto the wound. With another flick of her wrist, she produced a bottle of healing pills, quickly poured out a light blue pill, and swallowed it in one gulp.
The blood hole still existed, but the speed at which the blood gushed out had clearly slowed down. Then, the woman sat down cross-legged, placed her hands together on her lap, and began to regulate her breathing without any regard for anything else.
"Ah..." Another piercing scream rang out almost simultaneously with Fairy Hongxia's.
At this moment, Wang Meng was completely wrapped in a crimson fire snake. Flames rolled around the snake, and in less than a breath, it had turned all of Wang Meng's flesh and blood into blood, which then evaporated into blood vapor, carrying the smell of blood and burnt flesh, spreading in all directions.
"You bastard!" Wang Meng's eyes were bloodshot, veins bulged on his forehead, and his long hair had long since vanished. Waves of indescribable pain came from his flesh and blood.
Wang Meng clenched his fists, looked up at the sky and let out a fierce roar. In an instant, a golden light suddenly spread out from his body, forming a protective aura that instantly shredded the scorching fire snakes wrapped around his body, revealing a charred patch on his body, mixed with the smell of meat and rottenness.
After extracting the last bit of magical power from his body, Wang Meng glared venomously at the woman in red in the distance, then rolled his eyes and fell straight backward, crashing heavily to the ground with a thud.
Only then did the battle between Wang Meng and Fairy Hongxia come to an end.
"Sigh, it seems my intuition was quite accurate. The winner among these four is indeed the Fairy Hongxia, who made me wary at our first meeting. Of course, the ultimate winner is still me."
Du Fan chuckled, moved swiftly, and landed steadily on the ground. At the same time, he raised his right hand and slowly removed the invisibility ring from his left finger, storing it in his storage bag.
