Chapter 1 What Is Going On?

"What exactly is going on?"

"Why would a dual magic domain lose to a single magic domain?"

The experts from the various major forces present stared at the dual magic array in mid-air, which had been completely suppressed, dumbfounded. They couldn't understand why a single magic domain could win against a dual magic domain.

One had to know that the magic domain displayed by Zi Yanliuyun didn't seem to have stronger magic power and pressure than Jiuxiao Longyun's dual magic domain; it even seemed a little weaker.

But now, it had suppressed Jiuxiao Longyun's dual domain!

"This is getting interesting. This little beauty's understanding and control of magic elements have far surpassed that Jiuxiao Longyun. Even if Jiuxiao Longyun used an amazing dual magic domain, it might be stronger in terms of power, but he is far behind in terms of seizing and controlling magic elements." A handsome young man wearing the Hundred Ghosts' Lone March emblem scrutinized Zi Yanliuyun in mid-air and smiled faintly, "I never thought that Zero Wing would have such a genius."

"Hmph, the people here naively think that being promoted to a Tier 4 class and possessing strength and attributes is enough, but they don't know that after reaching Tier 4, the most important thing is no longer attributes and technical skill, but the understanding and control of magic elements." A beautiful and valiant woman with short, aquatic-blue hair, wearing fitted, exquisite light armor, said disdainfully, "A magic domain is, in essence, controlling the magic elements of a region for one's own use. How could simply learning to operate two magic power rules simultaneously win against someone with a stronger control over magic elements?"

The handsome young man looked at Zi Yanliuyun in mid-air, who resembled a starry sky goddess, and a trace of longing appeared in his eyes: "However, such a genius little beauty can be allowed to join us and become my peripheral support member."

"Qiyuan! You haven't changed a bit!" The short-haired beauty beside him rolled her eyes at the handsome young man, reminding him, "Don't forget the purpose of our visit to the God's Domain Continent this time. Don't play too hard like before."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. In this God's Domain Continent, no one can be my opponent. This time, Zero Wing's three major guilds will definitely be defeated. Even if Hei Yan comes, it will be the same. If this little beauty wants to protect Zero Wing, she will have no choice but to beg me. At that time, I won't have to worry about her not taking the bait," the handsome young man said with a smile.

The short-haired beauty, who was carrying a giant axe on her back, didn't say anything more, because if Zero Wing wanted to survive this time, it really only took a word from them.

Just as the two were talking, Jiuxiao Longyun in mid-air had already taken action. He didn't show the slightest dejection from his magic domain being suppressed. He swung the greatsword in his hand fiercely when he was less than fifty yards away from Zi Yanliuyun.

Sword Light, Nine Extremes Slash!

Tier 4 Inheritance Skill, Magic Light Shatter!

A fusion of combat skills and magic skills. Nine sword lights tore through space, instantly appearing in nine places around Zi Yanliuyun. Moreover, these nine sword lights were as agile as monkeys, clearly mastering the domain, making it impossible to discern the attack trajectory.

Faced with this sudden move, Zi Yanliuyun also shook her staff, instantly flickering thirty yards away, dodging the nine sword lights at the critical moment.

Boom!

As Zi Yanliuyun dodged, the nine sword lights fused into one, directly blasting the mid-air into nothingness. Only a dark space remained within a radius of twenty yards. The power was so strong that it was comparable to the terrifying strike of an upper-level legendary monster...

However, before Zi Yanliuyun could catch her breath, sword lights emerged around her again. Zi Yanliuyun flickered in succession, but these sword lights kept appearing beside Zi Yanliuyun, like shadows following her, impossible to shake off.

This scene stunned everyone present.

Because Jiuxiao Longyun at this moment was no longer a melee class. He was several times more terrifying than a ranged class. Jiuxiao Longyun kept waving his greatsword at mid-air, but the sword lights kept appearing around Zi Yanliuyun, as if Jiuxiao Longyun was standing beside Zi Yanliuyun everywhere.

"Jiuxiao Longyun really isn't holding back." Qianli Wuya, standing at the entrance of the residence, watched mid-air and couldn't help but laugh, "I'm afraid the battle will be over in less than ten seconds."

Jiuxiao Longyun was a magic swordsman, a perfect fusion of magic and sword. He was not only good at melee combat but also at ranged attacks. It was indeed very powerful to make Jiuxiao Longyun's dual magic domain ineffective, but Jiuxiao Longyun's terrifying Divine Speed Sword was also brought to its fullest potential under the Magic Light Shatter.

"Although you have various teleportation skills, it's useless no matter where you escape to during the duration of my Magic Light Shatter. You'd better admit defeat obediently. If you get hit by this move, even a Tier 4 defensive class won't be able to handle it!" Jiuxiao Longyun looked at Zi Yanliuyun, who was constantly dodging, and smiled.

In everyone's opinion, he was indeed at a disadvantage against magic-based classes, but he was a magic swordsman, and he excelled at both melee and ranged attacks.

The duration of Magic Light Shatter was a full three minutes, but Zi Yanliuyun's dodge skills were limited. After she could no longer dodge by flashing, what awaited Zi Yanliuyun was a dead end.

"Thanks for the reminder." Zi Yanliuyun smiled faintly at the arrogant Jiuxiao Longyun, "One of me can't dodge it, but what about many of me?"

As she spoke, Zi Yanliuyun waved her staff, and instantly, dozens of Zi Yanliuyuns emerged in the vast Starry Sky Domain. Each figure was blurred, making it impossible to distinguish between real and fake.

"Clones?" Jiuxiao Longyun was also shocked, then shook his head, "No! These figures all have blurred auras, they should all be fake illusions. You only have one real body."

"Watch how I break your move!"

As he spoke, Jiuxiao Longyun suddenly waved wildly, the sword lights no longer concentrated in one place but scattered throughout Zi Yanliuyun's Starry Sky Domain.

In just a flash, Jiuxiao Longyun would strike out more than a dozen swords. Countless sword lights were spread throughout the entire Starry Sky Domain, and wherever the sword lights passed, the space shattered. When two sword lights collided, they shattered the void, completely turning the Starry Sky Domain into a dead zone.

After a series of frenzied attacks, the Starry Sky Domain, covering a radius of 300 yards, was completely turned into a dark space. The power of a Tier 4 magic swordsman was undoubtedly on full display.

"You don't plan to come out even at the point of death?" Jiuxiao Longyun looked at the dark space that had been completely turned into void and was puzzled.

His attacks were definitely without any blind spots. Even if a Tier 4 class could survive in the dark space, they couldn't stay there for long, or they would die as well.

However, before Jiuxiao Longyun could finish speaking, a figure slowly walked out of the dark space. It was Zi Yanliuyun, shining with starlight. However, Zi Yanliuyun was still unharmed. Obviously, Jiuxiao Longyun's previous frantic attack had not had any effect on Zi Yanliuyun.

"You dodged them all?" Jiuxiao Longyun was also surprised.

He knew his sword speed very well. Only skills like Flash could barely dodge it. It was impossible to dodge through footwork. If they clashed head-on, that was definitely what he wanted to see the most, because under his Divine Speed Frenzied Attacks, defending for a long time would inevitably lead to mistakes, and his sword lights would stack, increasing in power. When stacked to a certain extent, even an upper-level legendary monster would not be able to block it.

But now, Zi Yanliuyun was unharmed, not even a corner of her clothes was damaged, which meant that Zi Yanliuyun had actually dodged all of his sword lights...

"Amazing! Such terrifying sword speed, it didn't even give me time to cast spells. Fortunately, my Starry Sky Domain just happens to restrain you, otherwise it would really be a bitter battle." Zi Yanliuyun looked at the dark space behind her that had been turned into void and sighed slightly.

As long as her Starry Sky Domain had enough power, it could transform into thousands of her. These illusions seemed fake, but they were actually real, because she could freely shuttle between all the illusions. This was an even more powerful ability than Flash skills, and it didn't have any cooldown time, it just consumed mental power and magic power.

"Little girl, you're just as arrogant as your guild leader. You only dodged my sword moves, and I don't believe you can keep dodging!" As Jiuxiao Longyun spoke, he prepared to swing the greatsword in his hand once again.

But before Jiuxiao Longyun could swing his sword, hundreds of Shadow Blades emerged from the dark space behind Zi Yanliuyun.

"Jiuxiao Longyun, did you think I was only hiding from your attacks in the dark void?" Zi Yanliuyun chuckled, "To deal with you for sure, I've been preparing for a long time. Now let me see how you block these six hundred Shadow Blades!"

As she spoke, six hundred Shadow Blades fell towards Jiuxiao Longyun like raindrops, with earth-shattering power.

Knowing that he could not dodge, Jiuxiao Longyun suddenly activated his Burst Skill. Not only did his attributes increase greatly, but his attack speed nearly doubled.

Nearly twenty sword lights surrounded Jiuxiao Longyun, blocking one Shadow Blade after another.

Boom boom boom...

Each block sent the Shadow Blades flying, but under Zi Yanliuyun's control, these Shadow Blades attacked Jiuxiao Longyun once again.

For a time, the sky above the entire Star Ring Guild's residence turned into a darkness, and the shocking impact sounds echoed throughout Tianquan City. The battle between the two was not a battle between players, but more like two monsters.

Watching such a battle, the Tier 3 experts present truly understood the true meaning of the phrase, "Those who do not reach Tier 4 are but ants."

However, after lasting for more than twenty seconds, even though Jiuxiao Longyun's attributes and attack speed had completely surpassed Zi Yanliuyun's, the full six hundred Shadow Blades, under Zi Yanliuyun's precise organization, caused the bursting Jiuxiao Longyun to begin to suffer injuries.

A single hit took away a quarter of Jiuxiao Longyun's health, and the four mistakes only took a few seconds.

The sounds of collision in mid-air suddenly stopped, and Jiuxiao Longyun closed his eyes unwillingly. His entire body fell directly into the Star Ring residence, smashing out a crater more than ten meters in radius.

For a time, only the Shadow Blades covering the sky and Zi Yanliuyun standing in the air remained above the Star Ring residence. The terrifying power was like the descent of heavenly might, making people fearful.

"Guild Leader Lu Xingluo, you can release people now, right!"
