Chapter 608: Battle at the Ninth Level

"Very good!" Huo Liaoyuan laughed in anger. Lu Ye's reaction was expected. If the other party really just sat there and waited for death, then he really looked down on Lu Ye.

After saying that, he raised his hand and slapped the void in front of him. The spiritual power surged around him. With the palm of his hand as the origin, a fiery red spiritual power disc with a radius of several feet quickly spread out. In the disc, complex lines interlocked and connected with each other, flashing light.

The spiritual power disc seemed to be embedded in Huo Liaoyuan's palm. As his spiritual power was stimulated, fireballs of various sizes appeared out of thin air from the disc, dragging bright flames and blasting towards Lu Ye like a meteor shower.

As a ninth-level cultivator in Yunhe, he has studied magic for many years, and his attainments in magic are naturally very high. The meteor shower showed its extraordinaryness as soon as it was launched. The dense fireballs dragged red light, and under Huo Liaoyuan's control, they turned into arcs and rushed towards Lu Ye. Wherever they passed, the space was burned and distorted.

Lu Ye's figure moved up, avoiding the first few fireballs that attacked him, and took advantage of the gaps in the meteor shower and moved forward quickly.

The speed of his movements and reactions far exceeded the level of a fifth-level cultivator.

Boom boom boom...

One fireball after another hit the air, hit the surface of the death fighting stage, and hit the surrounding forbidden barriers, bursting with dazzling flames and exploding with amazing heat waves.

Huo Liaoyuan, who was calm and composed, showed a surprised look on his face.

As a ninth-level cultivator, he personally took action against a fifth-level cultivator. In fact, he was not too serious. In his opinion, the difference in their cultivation was so huge that he was afraid that he could kill the other party with just one spell. Using a spell like Meteor Shower, which consumed a lot of energy, was already a very safe response. However, Lu Ye's performance surprised him.

The other party could actually shuttle forward in his meteor shower...

Is this a reaction that a fifth-level cultivator can have?

Huo Liaoyuan's expression immediately became serious. He had seen things that happened in the gutter before, and he had warned himself to take it as a warning. The power of his mind began to surge, and the number of fireballs gushing out from the spiritual power disc in front of him became larger and larger, and the trajectory became more and more erratic.

Lu Ye was like a fish, swimming upstream in the overwhelming fireballs. When Huo Liaoyuan's mentality changed, he immediately felt the pressure, and the speed of the reverse movement suddenly slowed down.

The magic cultivator has a certain degree of control over the spells he releases, and this ability can be reflected after the cultivator reaches the seventh level.

Take Lu Ye for example. When he first practiced the Fire Phoenix Art, his cultivation was only at the third level. When the art was cast and launched, the trajectory was what it should be. He had no way to control it, so his accuracy was very poor.

But after reaching the seventh level, the cultivator can control the spiritual power that leaves the body. This is also the fundamental reason why the cultivator can control the weapon at this level.

Being able to control the spiritual power infused into the spiritual weapon, naturally, it can also control the art.

The level of attainment of the magic cultivator is not only determined by how many arts he has mastered and how powerful the arts are, but also by the exquisite control of the magic cultivator over his own arts.

Huo Liaoyuan is undoubtedly a qualified magic cultivator. Although he cannot control all the overwhelming fireballs, he can still control some of them.

And the trajectory of the fireballs controlled by him is extremely difficult to discern.

Just like now, Lu Ye clearly avoided the attack of some fireballs, but those fireballs were able to come back and attack from behind.

The hand that had been pressing on the hilt of the knife moved, and a fiery red knife light flashed. The Panshan knife came out with a bang. Under the sharp knife light, it split the attacking fireballs one by one, making a series of explosions.

The protective spiritual power lingered around his body, and scattered sparks fell, accelerating the consumption of Lu Ye's spiritual power.

He did not activate the power of the talent tree. This was his confidence in fighting Huo Liaoyuan this time. He did not want to expose it until it was absolutely necessary.

Moreover, if he wanted to defeat a Yunhe ninth-level realm, the power of the talent tree alone was far from enough. He needed to let Huo Liaoyuan consume his own power as much as possible. Only in this way could he kill him with a fatal blow when he was weak.

In terms of cultivation, he was indeed much worse than Huo Liaoyuan.

But apart from this, Huo Liaoyuan had no other advantages.

"Die!" Huo Liaoyuan suddenly roared, with a ferocious look on his face.

Lu Ye's long sword suddenly stopped, and his eyes turned, and he saw a huge fireball attacking him. This fireball was clearly different from the other fireballs, and the spiritual power contained in it was extremely violent.

Just as he paid attention to this fireball, chaotic and violent power fluctuations came at the same time, and the huge fireball suddenly expanded in his field of vision, accompanied by a violent buzzing and burning flames.

Boom...

The fire exploded and engulfed Lu Ye's figure. Huo Liaoyuan did not stop, but took advantage of the situation to chase. Under his exquisite control, more fireballs rushed into the fire one after another, triggering the aura of death.

The fire suddenly surged, and Lu Ye's embarrassed figure fell out of it. His body leaned forward slightly, one hand spread forward, and a huge amulet spiritual pattern blocked in front of him. At first glance, it seemed as if he was holding a shield. Although the other hand was burned by the flames, he still held his Panshan knife tightly.

He stood on the death fighting stage with both feet, and slid backwards for more than thirty feet under the huge impact before he could barely keep his body steady.

With a crash, the shield in front of him shattered, revealing Lu Ye's figure, his clothes were torn, his body was covered with burn marks, and even his hair was curled and burnt.

He had tried his best to gradually close the distance between him and Huo Liaoyuan, but the other party easily wiped out all his previous efforts and made everything return to the starting point.

As expected... I hate Fa Xiu, Lu Ye turned his head and spit out a mouthful of blood to calm the blood boiling in his chest.

These guys relied on their long hands to do whatever they wanted, making all his knowledge useless.

"Hmm?" Huo Liaoyuan was slightly startled, looking at Lu Ye who had escaped from the trap, his expression suddenly became excited: "Awesome, awesome!"

He looked like he had discovered something new and interesting, his eyes full of excitement and joy: "You are only at the fifth level, but you can actually block my magic, Lu Yiye, you are really a monster, no wonder it gives the major forces in Wanmo Ridge such a headache, I was thinking that it would be too uneconomical to just kill you, I used a rare treasure like the Death Fighting Arena! Since you are so powerful..." His expression suddenly turned cold, and the words that came out of his mouth were like the icy breath under the Netherworld: "Then struggle well, no matter what, I have paid so much, you must let me see a good show!"

The spiritual light flashed again, and dense fireballs reappeared on the spiritual power disc. After appearing, the fireballs only paused for a moment, and then rushed towards Lu Ye one after another.

Having suffered a loss just now, Lu Ye knew that with his current strength, it was wishful thinking to rush to the opponent in this situation.

The bodies of the magic cultivators were indeed thin, and most of them would not have a good end if they were approached by the soldiers, but they had long arms, and long arms were the truth. In the face of the absolute gap in strength, it was simply unrealistic for the soldiers to get close to them.

Sure enough, he still had to continue to consume his strength.

Such a magic, with such a dense attack, would inevitably consume a lot even if Huo Liaoyuan was at the ninth level!

Having made up his mind, Lu Ye immediately rushed to the side, and a group of fireballs followed closely, brushing against his body and bombarding the death battle stage, hitting the forbidden barrier, making a rumbling sound, and the air waves swept by the explosion of the fireballs raged in all directions. Lu Ye only felt that his whole body was like a canoe drifting on the sea, drifting in the storm.

Huo Liaoyuan was indeed a little crazy, his expression was twisted, this might be related to the heavy casualties of his subordinates yesterday, more than 60 people died at once, the psychological pressure was too great, today I got the chance, finally released all of it.

He urged the magic to attack wildly while laughing wildly, and shouted from time to time: "Run, run, you run like a mouse, how ugly, you want to kill me? If you want to kill me, come here, you can't kill me if you can only run!"

In addition to mocking, he did not forget to provoke, which shows that Huo Liaoyuan's mind is still very meticulous. Even when he is in full control, he instinctively uses words to influence Lu Ye's mind.

How could Lu Ye care about him? Since he has made up his mind to consume his strength first, the longer the delay, the better.

The sound of booming continued, Lu Ye kept running on the death fighting stage, and occasionally made a false appearance of wanting to rush over to confuse Huo Liaoyuan. As expected, every time he did this, Huo Liaoyuan's attack would be a few points more fierce, blocking him.

The Panshan Knife in his hand was almost a decoration. He had no chance to swing the knife. The defensive spirit pattern was constantly activated to block some unavoidable attacks.

No fireball caused direct damage to him, but the impact of the explosions still made him feel pain all over his body and his blood was shaking.

This was also the reason why he did not activate the power of the talent tree at the first time. It is true that activating the talent tree can isolate the damage of the fire power to himself, but the accompanying impact and shock are unavoidable.

Moreover, activating the talent tree in that way also consumes a lot of mental power. Even if Lu Ye's mental power is much better than that of the cultivators of the same realm, it is difficult to maintain it for a long time.

This killer must wait for the right opportunity to use it in order to achieve unexpected results.

Time passed, a cup of tea, a stick of incense...

Lu Ye became more and more embarrassed, and Huo Liaoyuan's expression was no longer as relaxed as before.

The meteor shower spell consumes a lot of energy, and he has never maintained it for such a long time. In just a short period of time, nearly half of his spiritual power was consumed. However, what made him helpless was that Lu Yiye was still alive and kicking!
