Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 131: Defeating the Court Mage

"One, two, three, four, five..."

Next to the plain "strewn with corpses", Li Yu was counting the number of people. More than an hour had passed since he started blocking people here. More than a dozen trainee judges from the Trial Council who had been chasing him fell at his feet.

Even so, this group of apprentices and prospective judges, who were as scarce as gold in the sand on weekdays, still maintained a frequency of arriving every ten minutes or so. Although their number was small, they were much stronger than ordinary mid-level wizards. It was indeed not easy to deal with them without using high-level magic.

Especially the recent batch of rich judges, who have both flying summoned beasts and winged magic tools. If they hadn't relied on the space system to unexpectedly pull the opponent down, it might have been possible for the opponent to succeed without exposing the means of the winged magic tools.

Shortly after counting the number of prisoners, a figure appeared at the end of Li Yu's field of vision. It was this figure that made Li Yu slowly retract his relaxed expression.

There was a pair of wings on the back of the person who came. They were not the wings of winged magic tools, but wings formed by wind magic—high-level magic wind wings!

At this point in time, there was no other high-level wizard who was qualified, capable, and willing to take part in the hunt, except for Councillor Zhu Meng's personal bodyguard, a court wizard from the Forbidden City.

The appearance of the court mage did not exceed Li Yu's expectations. The group of guys he dealt with, who were not even judges, were at best the eyes and ears of the court mage. For the latter, it would be best if the former could catch Tang Yue and the other person, but it was okay if he couldn't catch them. As long as he could entangle the other party and give the court mage a coordinate, it would be enough.

But Li Yu blocked this plain for more than an hour, directly turning the surrounding area into an intelligence black hole. Even a fool could see that there was something wrong with this place.

The wind magician was very fast, and appeared in front of him in a few seconds. To be more precise, he appeared right above him, looking down at Li Yu with a haughty look.

"Are you the helper that Tang Yue invited? You are quite capable."

"But that's about it."

First praise and then criticize, this seems to be a common method used by many self-righteous superiors to pull down others and show off their own strength and prestige as elders. However, Li Yu was not impressed at all. He pointed at the condescending wizard very rudely.
"If you want to do it, do it. If not, get out!"

Such straightforward and impolite words made the high-level wizard stunned, and then he turned pale with anger at the disrespectful behavior and words. It had been a long time since he was selected as the court wizard. No one dared to point at him and say such disrespectful words.

Do you really think that just by getting rid of a few youngsters who are not even formal judges, you will have the strength to compete with you?

"furious!"

The wind magician was so angry that he was shaking all over, but fortunately he had not lost his mind. He even consciously raised his position and looked down from above, starting with a huge flaming fist.

"Fire fist blasts the sky!"

The opponent is worthy of his identity as a court wizard. His star map drawing speed, which is far superior to that of a mid-level wizard, is enough to make him invincible in the battle with a mid-level wizard. What's more, he is at a high altitude, looking down from above. Generally, mid-level wizards don't have the means to fly. How can he lose by using his high position to defeat the enemy on the low position?
The blue spirit flame instantly engulfed the place where Li Yu was standing. The court mage did not relax. At that moment, he clearly saw the other party's figure stepping on the wind track to escape from the attack range of the Lie Quan in time. The speed at that moment shocked even him, who was knowledgeable.

What made the court mage frown was that, except for the area affected by the Fiery Fist's flames, which was illuminated by the blazing flames, other places were even darker, which greatly affected the field of vision and the opponent's stealth was flawless.

"Fire Fist!"

"Fire Fist!"

"Fire Fist!"

He willfully released three Fiery Fist spells, directly burning the grassland within a 200-meter area around him to ashes, but the court wizard still did not find any trace of the enemy.

The court mage was not worried about being defeated. He could fly while the enemy could only stand on the ground and take the beating, so he was naturally invincible. This was one of the reasons why he asked the chief guard for permission to fight. What really made the court mage unwilling was that it took him too long to capture the prisoner, which would make the chief guard question his ability.

Just as he was getting impatient with his search, a sharp white light flashed past the corner of his eyes.

"Sneak attack?"

The court mage made a subconscious judgment, flapped his wind wings, and changed his position instantly, deviating from the attack route. It was at this time that the court mage noticed something unusual. The white light seemed to be a long sword.

As a magician, he seldom sees people throwing cold weapons. Even if the cold weapons are indestructible magic-slaying tools, they are difficult to recover once thrown out. Which second-generation rich man is so wasteful as to treat magic tools as disposable items?
"not good!"

While the court mage was puzzled, the long sword that confused him seemed to have eyes and turned around directly, shooting towards his position, frightening the court mage to death. Just as he was about to move again, he suddenly found that the space was wrapped tightly around his body like a quagmire. Although he could move, the long sword would definitely stab him before he could move successfully.

In a desperate situation, the court wizard had an idea and erected a large black steel shield in front of him. He thought he would hear the crisp sound of the long sword and the shield magic tool colliding, and he was even prepared to be pierced and have to maintain it.

However, despite all his calculations, the court mage did not expect that the mud around him would disappear in an instant. Before he could rejoice that he was out of danger, the long sword stabbed at him from behind again. By the time the court mage heard the sound of the wind caused by the long sword, it was too late to dodge.

"Oh!"

A ray of light shone on the court mage's body again, and the long sword charged forward, directly piercing through the light barrier behind him. Tiny cracks appeared, and finally the long sword stopped less than an inch behind the court mage. After turning around and discovering the situation, the threat of death made the court mage's back soaked with cold sweat.

Fortunately, he had two high-level defensive magic tools on him, otherwise, he would have been defeated by this mid-level wizard.

"It turns out to be a rare space mage!"

The court wizard gritted his teeth. How could he not know what the other party was doing? He threw the long sword to let himself dodge and lower his guard, then used elementary magic telekinesis to control the direction of the long sword, and then used intermediate rhythm to prevent himself from dodging, and while he was using defensive magic tools to block his sight, he controlled the long sword again to adjust the attack position.

The elusive attacks made the court mage realize firsthand the danger of powerful space mages.

The court wizard was still feeling the aftermath of his opponent's sinister intentions when he suddenly felt a chill on his head. He raised his head in confusion and saw a pair of large feet.

"Oh!"

The defenseless court mage was kicked directly in the face. The powerful kick instantly made the court mage lose the ability to think, and he fell straight to the ground dozens of meters below. According to the physical strength of a high-level mage, this fall would at least leave him paralyzed on one side of his body or seriously injured and die.

At the last moment, Li Yu gathered his strength, and pulled the unconscious court mage upwards with his backhand, thus stopping his downward momentum. He put away the winged magic tool, gave the unconscious court mage a dose of anesthetic, and threw him into the pile of prisoners.

The elite-level court mage had never even seen his opponent for long and fought without vision the entire time. After more than ten minutes, he was knocked down by a little-known mid-level mage who took advantage of the information gap.

"You only sent one person here. Who are you looking down on?"

Of course, Li Yu only dared to speak harshly in front of the captives. The court magician who realized that something was wrong would sooner or later send more experts. If he accidentally alarmed the captain of the guard Wu Pingjing, he would have no choice but to run away with his current level.

Fortunately, due to the existence of Baishan, there are almost no monsters on this plain, so Li Yu can safely leave the people here to lie dead. A minute later, Li Yu directly moved his position.
