Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 895 The Terrified and Helpless Xiu Gu Qingyan (Part 2)

At the pinnacle of the arena, a million spectators were watching intently as two legendary powerhouses confronted each other in the starry sky.

Although the previous battle did not last long, the immense power displayed by both sides shocked most of the audience.

In particular, their perspective is that of an immersive bystander, allowing them to better feel the terrifying power emanating from the attacks of both sides.

Now, most viewers felt their brains freeze upon hearing Gao Yang's soliloquy.

Was that level of fighting just a warm-up?

If Gao Yang could hear the thoughts of these viewers, he would surely be puzzled:
This level of fighting is clearly just a test; can't you even see that?
Upon hearing Gao Yang's voice, Xiu Gu Qingyan's dark eyes flashed with a palpable killing intent. In the next instant, he tapped his staff, and the magic power of the entire floating city began to boil.

In the next instant, four beams of magical light entered the bodies of the four diamond golems.

As magical light surged in, the four diamond golems began to emanate a solid golden light from their dazzling bodies, giving people a feeling of indestructible solidity.

"That's... the Ultimate Golden Bell Shield?"

Among the audience were spellcasters who naturally recognized the origin of this magic.

But before the audience could even react with surprise, Xiu Gu Qingyan revealed the true terror of being a Grand Mage of the Floating City.

One spell after another seemed to have no cooldown time, rapidly generated like a machine gun. Some were applied to the four diamond golems, some disappeared into the defensive shield of the floating city, and some appeared and then quickly dissipated, their purpose unknown.

But in just a few seconds, everything in the entire floating city had been armed to the teeth by Xiu Gu Qingyan.

Such terrifying consumption caused even the floating city to feel a bit of a mana shortage.

Xiu Gu Qingyan looked at the elemental mirror in front of him, and the image in the mirror was Gao Yang.

There were five more of these mirrors in front of Xiu Gu Qingyan, making a total of six mirrors that enveloped Gao Yang's body in a 360-degree, all-encompassing manner.

Every move Gao Yang made was clearly visible to Xiu Gu Qingyan.

Xiu Gu Qingyan was very experienced in combat, and he did not use any obstructive spells on Gao Yang.

Doing this without knowing the extent of your opponent's spell resistance is tantamount to handing them a vulnerability.

His staff tilted forward, and the two diamond golems trembled slightly. Then, they rushed out of the floating city at an astonishing speed, transforming into two golden lightning bolts that charged towards Gao Yang.

In their hands, each held a sword-shaped force field radiating an aura of destruction.

This is the ultimate form of the Demon Duncan's Sword - the Destruction Demon Sword. When wielded by the extremely defensive Diamond Golem, its destructive power is considerable.

At the same time, spells, both tangible and intangible, began to be launched from the magic turrets of the floating city, covering Gao Yang.

"Sigh~~"

Many viewers gasped at the sight, and some even felt a chill run down their spines and up to the top of their heads.

Compared to the current battle, the previous fighting scenes were nothing more than a warm-up.

Many viewers couldn't help but turn their attention to Gao Yang, wondering how this equally powerful legend would respond to such an attack.

When they subconsciously turned their gaze to Gao Yang, they did not see the figure holding the sword. Instead, a golden battle aura as hot as the sun exploded and swept across the starry sky in an instant.

In that instant, a massive amount of golden battle aura surged and rolled, and under the imperceptible radiance of will, it was forcibly condensed into a giant sphere, within which raging battle aura burned.

In the dark night sky, a star emerged!

Rumble~
The blazing star began to roll toward the floating city, truly like a star, constantly distorting space as it passed, absorbing all the surrounding rays, energy, and magic into the star's rotation.

Then, under that terrifyingly high temperature, it was crushed into powder.

Numerous spells crashed into this "star," yet not even a ripple was made, let alone any attempt to halt its advance.

bass! bass!
Two jet-black slashes, each thousands of meters long, suddenly appeared in a cross shape before the star's path. The sharp, sword-shaped force fields collided violently with the star formed by the sun's fighting spirit, creating a continuous barrage of destructive sounds.

But in less than a second, the two astonishing sword energies unleashed by the Demonic Sword of Destruction were melted by the scorching star.

The sun, with a diameter of one kilometer, appears to rotate slowly, but in reality, its speed is extremely astonishing. In just a few seconds, it has already traversed the void and is crushing towards the floating city in front of it.

"Super Dimensional Slash!"

As Xiu Gu Qingyan looked at the star pressing down on him, he swung his staff forward with a sudden motion. With his swing, a crescent-shaped spatial slash shot out from the surface of the floating city, instantly cleaving the star that was pressing down on him in two.

Watching the two halves of the sun glide past the floating city's defensive shield, Xiu Gu Qingyan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

That spell just now almost drained the floating city and the magic power within him.

Although the floating city possesses extremely abundant magical reserves and a fast recovery speed, the depletion of a large amount of magical power in such a short period of time will cause the floating city to fall into a temporary deficit.

Before Xiu Gu Qingyan's magic power could recover, a hundred-meter-long greatsword silently slashed out from within the cleaved star.

Golden battle aura covered the sword blade, exuding an unyielding sharpness.

The Eternal Radiance Sword was incredibly fast. By the time Xiu Gu Qingyan realized it, the blade had already struck the surface of the floating city.

Gao Yang's gaze was calm, but a deep, intense crimson gleamed in his eyes.

The moment Yongyao struck the surface of the floating city, Xiugu Qingyan's expression changed drastically, and he immediately canceled the floating city's levitation array.

The next instant, the blade scraped against the floating city's defensive shield, and an unstoppable force surged forth, cleaving the entire floating city away.

And the direction in which it flew backwards was exactly the star that had been cut in half by Xiu Gu Qingyan.

Xiu Gu Qingyan didn't understand how Gao Yang had done it, but he knew that such a strike that could repel the floating city with a single sword strike was enough to kill him here.

With a single sword strike, Gao Yang sent the floating city flying. With a light step, his body transformed into a streak of lightning and sped after the floating city.

The next instant, Gao Yang reappeared in front of the floating city, ignoring the Destruction Demon Sword slashing towards him. A surge of sword energy rose from his body, and the Eternal Radiance in his hand slashed down again.

"Natural Disaster: Sky Break!"

This sword strike was so fast that it gave Xiu Gu Qingyan no time to react before striking the floating city.

A jet-black slash appeared on the floating city's defensive shield, which cracked open without the slightest hesitation.

The jet-black slash descended, carving a crack tens of meters long into the azure ground of the floating city.

With the floating city destroyed, the malice in Xiu Gu Qingyan's eyes suddenly intensified. He took out a black sphere from his backpack and stuffed it directly into the spatial bubble that appeared in front of him. The next instant, the spatial bubble burst, and the black sphere, only the size of a fist, instantly appeared in front of Gao Yang.

Boom!
A black sphere appeared, leaving a black afterimage in an instant, and struck Gao Yang heavily between the eyebrows.

Gao Yang's head snapped back, and his body flew backward uncontrollably, covering a kilometer in just one second.

Click!

Gao Yang stepped into the space behind him, forcibly stopping his retreat. This action caused large spiderweb-like cracks to suddenly appear in the space behind him.

He shook his head, quickly restoring the double-image world before his eyes.

Before he could charge forward again, the floating city's defenses had already closed. At the same time, a whooshing sound came from all directions as hundreds of meteorites, each a hundred meters in diameter and emitting different energy fluctuations, hurtled towards Gao Yang, trailing fiery tails.

Boom boom boom~~
The meteorites collided with each other, and a violent energy surge erupted, engulfing Gao Yang, who was at the center of the explosion.

The space trembled violently, the slicing sound of the sword blade tore through the void, and a ring of sword light appeared, instantly slicing through all the incoming meteorites.

Then, a whirlwind of fang-blade sword energy surged forth, shredding all the energy and meteorites in front of Gao Yang into dust, and forcibly smoothing out the explosion.

The meteorite bombardment failed to achieve its intended purpose, which did not surprise Xiu Gu Qingyan. Based on Gao Yang's performance earlier, this tactic could only temporarily slow down the opponent's advance.

But even in that short time, the floating city's magic power was more than half restored.

Intricate magical patterns emerged, extending like tentacles from the floating city towards the surrounding starry sky, instantly encompassing the entire starry sky in front of Gao Yang.

The next instant, the nodes of the intersecting magic patterns lit up one after another, and the lighting of each node meant that a pre-set spell had been activated.

In an instant, a violent torrent of spells crashed down on Gao Yang.

The violent energy fluctuations were enough to easily tear a small plane to pieces.

Boom~
Dark purple lightning mixed with golden battle qi exploded from Gao Yang's body in an instant, and rolling thunder and fire instantly filled the starry sky. The domineering power of thunder and fire even directly expelled other energies from this area.

Numerous lightning and fireballs collided continuously in this infernal realm of lightning and fire, spreading a chilling aura of destruction.

The moment the Thunderfire Purgatory took shape, it collided violently with the torrent of magic, and a violent explosion resounded throughout the void.

Faced with this seemingly endless torrent of magic, the hastily constructed Thunderfire Purgatory could not withstand it, and its scale began to shrink continuously.

Gao Yang, who was in the heart of the Thunderfire Purgatory, had the Eternal Radiance in his hand radiating a dazzling light of will.

The next instant, the swirling inferno of lightning and fire vanished abruptly.

This unexpected turn of events caused the torrent of bombarding spells to momentarily halt.

Gao Yangping held up the Eternal Radiance Greatsword, which had turned into a mixture of dark purple and gold patterns, with endless destructive aura emanating from its blade.

'Natural Disaster: The Abyss Falls!'

Gao Yang unleashed a sword strike, and a massive, ten-thousand-meter-long sword of thunder and fire suddenly appeared.

The moment the Thunderfire Greatsword appeared, it easily crushed the surging torrent of spells, and then continued its momentum, slashing towards the floating city.

Xiu Gu Qingyan's eyes were bloodshot with rage. His attack was as fragile as a sheet of paper in front of Gao Yang.

It was a spell capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, but when it collided with that greatsword, it was mercilessly shattered, thus threatening his floating city.

He was clearly a legendary mage who controlled the floating city, and by all accounts, he should have stood at the pinnacle of power, so that even the gods could not kill him.

However, in the short time he fought Gao Yang, Xiu Gu Qingyan had felt the bone-chilling cold emanating from that giant sword more than once.

This chill even gave Xiu Gu Qingyan the illusion that he might die by the other's sword.

Moreover, from the start of the battle until now, Xiu Gu Qingyan has never stopped attacking Gao Yang's mind.

But all his psychological attacks were like throwing a stone into the sea, having no effect whatsoever.

After all, he was a legendary mage, and Xiu Gu Qingyan figured out the reason in a very short time.

"The opponent's battle qi level is too high, and the attack is too condensed, so my attack is not comparable in quality and therefore appears to be vulnerable."

Furthermore, the opponent's mind must possess extremely strong defenses, rendering my mental interference methods ineffective.

But it was only after figuring out the reason that the chill in Xiu Gu Qingyan's heart deepened.

Because advancing in energy level is extremely difficult, this gap is also the most difficult to bridge.

The mental fortifications made it impossible for even a legendary sorcerer like him, who was proficient in mental magic, to find a way to attack.

Facing the great sword of thunder and fire that swept across the void and slashed towards him, Xiu Gu Qingyan paused with his staff, and then the floating city, under his control, shot off into the distance.

Uh-huh~
The Thunderfire Greatsword grazed the floating city's defenses, its destructive aura nearly destroying the city's protective shields.

If those two diamond golems hadn't punched and smashed the dissipated sword energy, the floating city's defenses would have been shattered with a single strike.

Having fought to this point, there was no longer any need for Xiu Gu Qingyan to continue the fight.

The Floating City Mage stands at the pinnacle of power; whoever controls the Floating City is virtually invincible.

The original meaning of this statement is that if a Floating City Mage encounters a formidable opponent, they can easily escape the battlefield by teleporting.

Unfortunately, this place is the artifact of the god of war—the Peak of Gladiators.

This battlefield is not without boundaries, which also means that Xiu Gu Qingyan's greatest advantage as a floating city mage, namely the initiative in the war, has been stripped away.

At the pinnacle of this gladiatorial contest, it was destined that only one of him and Gao Yang would be able to leave alive.

Gao Yang seemed to sense Xiu Gu Qingyan's emotions, looking towards the floating city from a great distance, and then revealed a sinister smile from the bottom of his heart.

Xiu Gu Qingyan's eyes darkened, and his pride was shattered in that instant.

But before he could react, Gao Yang had already made another move.

A golden light flashed, and before Xiu Gu Qingyan could react, the entire floating city was enveloped in scorching solar battle aura.

Gao Yang exhaled the stale air from his chest, took a step, and disappeared from the spot.
