Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

"How...how...is this possible?!"

Upon witnessing Mo Xie's ability to control the Heavenly Flame Funeral, Xiao Haoxuan's initial joy at unleashing high-level magic suddenly vanished, replaced by panic and tension.

His Heavenly Flame Funeral... was actually frozen in mid-air?!
He had seen space-type mages use their abilities before, but he had never seen anyone so monstrous at this age!

In the previous competition, a military mage named Ai Jiangtu from the Northern Military Region used spatial magic to quickly defeat his opponent.

But the problem is... this person in front of me is even more terrifying in terms of spatial abilities than Ai Jiangtu!

Just as Xiao Haoxuan was stunned, a streak of purplish-black lightning flashed past within the area where the Heavenly Flame Funeral had fallen, approaching at an extremely fast speed.

As the lightning drew ever closer, the piercing, explosive cry unique to Chidori seemed to shatter his eardrums, and a terrifying destructive force swept over him, almost suffocating him!
Oh no... this is terrible... I have to react right away...

Xiao Haoxuan bit his tongue hard, forcing himself to calm down and bring his thoughts back to his mind.

Seeing that Mo Xie easily dodged the Heavenly Flame Funeral with lightning in his hand and was getting closer and closer, he knew that it was not the time to stay in place. He quickly cast two displacement spells, Wind Track and Earth Wave, and his body quickly retreated backward.

However, even with both spells used together, they couldn't widen the distance between them. Instead, Mo Xie's speed gradually increased, slowly closing the gap.

The distance was closing at a visible speed, and Xiao Haoxuan was truly panicked. He had already used wind and ground waves, so how could he still not escape the pursuit?

He knew he couldn't continue like this, or he'd only be caught up to, and then...

With this in mind, Xiao Haoxuan gave up on running away and instead stood still, beginning to draw a star map of the Earth element.

Forty-nine stars lit up, and seven star trails connected together, forming a magnificent dark brown star map.

"Rock Barrier & Stone Shield!"

He slammed his palms hard on the ground, and the next second a huge shield-shaped rock appeared out of thin air, forming a jagged, massive arc right in front of Xiao Haoxuan!

A massive rock shield rose from the ground, protecting him tightly behind it and shielding him from the impending crisis.

Moye ran quickly, the Thousand Birds on her right hand already poised to strike, lightning raging and dancing in the air.

Looking up, he saw a thick stone shield blocking his path, but...

"Hmph, you think this little hill can stop me?"

A smile curled at the corner of his lips, he snorted coldly, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes. His running speed remained unchanged, but instead increased slightly.

Just as he reached the stone shield, he raised his right hand and shoved the Thousand Birds in his hand hard.

The Thousand Birds struck the stone shield, and countless bolts of lightning instantly covered its surface, carving out spiderweb-like cracks.

The next second, with a sharp, explosive sound, the hard stone shield shattered and turned into chunks of dirt that flew all around.

At the same time, the scene behind them was finally revealed, and... Xiao Haoxuan's expression was one of shock and panic!
Although Xiao Haoxuan had already anticipated that his [Rock Barrier - Stone Shield] would be destroyed, since it was just a matter of buying some time, he did not expect that it would not even last a second.

Fortunately, time had been bought, giving them a chance to counterattack.

After destroying the stone shield, Moye did not linger and hurled the Thousand Birds from her right hand at the opponent.

"Qiang!"

Instantly, a crisp metallic clang rang out, and a figure was sent flying backward, only stopping a dozen meters away.

Mo Xie raised his right hand, which was wreathed in lightning, his brow furrowing slightly as he muttered to himself, "The sound is wrong, the touch is wrong, something's strange!"
Looking up, I saw two deep scratches, with marks in the middle that looked like they were caused by a sharp object embedded in them.

Looking further ahead, Xiao Haoxuan knelt on one knee, his hands gripping a long, fiery red sword embedded in the ground. The blade was marked with flame patterns, as if it were made of flames.

His gaze was fixed on the flaming longsword, which he could sense was different from other weapons. This must be the special demon-slaying tool that Ai Jiangtu had mentioned before.

Judging from their appearance, they seem to be looking for close combat... That seems interesting!

"It seems Xiao Haoxuan is going to use that special demon-slaying tool. His close combat ability is very strong, and Xiao Xie seems to be in for a tough fight."

Jiang Tianchen's expression turned slightly serious when he saw the demon-slaying weapon in Xiao Haoxuan's hand, and he said.

For mages, melee combat is their most fatal weakness; once someone gets into close combat, they are very likely to lose the initiative.

Demons use this to their advantage, preventing magicians from connecting with star trails and casting spells, thus killing them!
Upon hearing Jiang Tianchen's words, Zu Xingyi smiled slightly and said casually.

"Uncle Chen, you can rest assured. If it really comes down to close combat, then Xiao Xie will definitely win."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tianchen raised an eyebrow, a look of curiosity on his face.

"Haha, Lao Jiang, you don't know this, do you? Xiao Xie even defeated Jiang Tu in close combat before."

At this moment, Ai Jiangshan laughed and, without hesitation, revealed his son's embarrassing secret.

Ai Jiangtu glanced helplessly at his father, but he didn't take the defeat to heart. Mo Xie's martial arts skills were indeed much better than his.

"is it?"

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Tianchen's face immediately showed a look of astonishment. He had no idea that Mo Xie was quite accomplished in close combat.

He was familiar with Ai Jiangtu's close combat abilities, and besides, the fighting skills of a military mage were definitely stronger than those of students from outside academies.

It was quite unexpected that Mo Xie could defeat Ai Jiangtu solely through hand-to-hand combat.

Not far away, Xiao Haoxuan took a few deep breaths, slowly stood up, and pulled the long sword that had sunk into the ground.

He slowly twirled his sword, looked helplessly at Mo Xie, and said with a wry smile.

"Mo Xie, I admit you are very powerful, having cultivated lightning and spatial elements to such a high level. But I will not admit defeat so easily. Now, taste my close combat abilities!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Haoxuan's eyes narrowed, the patterns on the demon-slaying tool in his hand lit up, and flames suddenly burst into flames on the blade, making it extremely hot.

As he swung it forcefully, a crescent-shaped flame flew out from the demon-slaying weapon and rushed straight towards Mo Xie at an extremely fast speed.

The crescent-shaped flames exploded in front of Mo Xie, creating a large area of ​​flames and smoke that spread throughout the region.

Seeing that the attack had worked, everyone quickly looked into the smoke, wanting to know what had happened.

However, all people saw was a flash of purplish-black light within the smoke, a flash of lightning shaped like a blade, and Mo Xie's laughing voice.

"Since you want to play with knives, then I'll play along to the end!" (End of Chapter)
