245: Purple card [Earth Fiery Array]! For the enemy in the late stage of Daliang!

Seeing Wang Boqing defeat two opponents in no time and start chasing the remaining ones, Yu Chengtian also revealed a confident smile.

“See? This is the second-ranked Student from my Martial Arts Academy in the fifth year!”

Yu Chengtian’s face was filled with pride, while Miao Xinghuo’s expression wasn’t so good.

Mainly because the people Wang Boqing was chasing seemed to be from his own academy.

During observation, you couldn't see the Student's academy information, only their name and number.

However, they could still recognize some people from their academy by their faces and fighting styles.

For example, Wang Boqing, who was ranked highly in the fifth-year Student rankings.

And Jiang Yuan, who had recently become famous in Zhongyuan Academy, and so on.

Among those being chased by Wang Boqing, he also saw one person who looked somewhat familiar; if there were no surprises, it was highly likely a Student from his own academy.

However, with people from his academy being chased by others, he didn't have the face to admit it.

“It seems there’s a battle happening over there.”

At this moment, within the Earthly Flames Formation, Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan had already started eating.

After running for such a long time and then resting for a bit, they naturally felt hungry.

Looking at the time, it was almost noon, so they decided to have lunch within this formation Skill Card.

However, they had only just started eating when they heard movement from outside.

“Kang Kang?”

Mu Qianshan said, then directly opened the disguised camera’s feed.

Before they entered the Earthly Flames Formation, Mu Qianshan had set up some disguised cameras around the area.

The disguised cameras were camouflaged as leaves and placed on tree branches; virtually no one would suspect them.

“Hmm, do you recognize them?”

After the disguised camera was activated, a holographic projection appeared in front of Mu Qianshan, showing the scene of Wang Boqing chasing those people.

As Wang Boqing’s sword light flashed, another person disappeared, leaving only three people in that team.

“I don’t recognize them, but looking at this route…”

Jiang Yuan flipped his hand, putting the lunchbox into his Backpack Card, then quickly looked towards Nezha and Zhao Gongming.

“Prepare for battle, they will step into the Earthly Flames Formation!”

As Jiang Yuan spoke, Nezha also raised his Fire Tipped Spear, Zhao Gongming’s expression became serious, and Shi Ji directly took out a purple quality Skill Card.

As purple light flashed, in the direction of the people seen in the previous video, a hazy purple mist appeared at the edge of the Earthly Flames Formation.

This was precisely the Skill Card “created” by Shi Ji.

Purple Quality Illusion: [Light of Fear]!

This was the name Shi Ji gave to the skill she created for herself.

This was a group illusion-type skill; as long as one entered its range, they would directly face their deepest fears.

At the same time, three slashes would appear simultaneously from three directions, attacking the people within the illusion’s range.

Though called an illusion, it was more like an offensive skill.

After all, most illusion-type skills were control-oriented; it was rare to see one like Shi Ji’s that directly delivered a fatal blow right after controlling the opponent.

However, despite that, this skill paired with the Earthly Flames Formation was still very effective.

The momentary control from the illusion allowed the slashes and the attacks from the Earthly Flames Formation to more effectively eliminate the opponent!

Even if the opponent was of Daliang strength!

After all, the Earthly Flames Formation not only contained Shi Ji’s attacks and the formation’s own attacks, but also Nezha, Zhao Gongming, and Mu Qianshan waiting on the side.

“They’re almost here.”

Jiang Yuan held a red banner, watching the figures on the monitor screen.

In this short time, the longsword-wielding pursuer had already eliminated another Daliang Student.

However, Jiang Yuan didn't care much, as defeating opponents here didn't grant any points or rewards.

On the contrary, because the opponents were of Daliang strength, every one eliminated would slightly reduce the pressure on Jiang Yuan and his team.

Soon, the two young men being chased at the front directly plunged into the Earthly Flames Formation.

Seeing the two figures disappear before him, Wang Boqing instinctively stopped, his eyes warily scanning the empty scene before him.

“A trap?”

Wang Boqing frowned slightly, suspecting if this was a trap set by the opponents, just waiting for his arrival.

Otherwise, why would they suddenly disappear?

Was it a Scene Card?

Wang Boqing was puzzled, but just as he hesitated, the two young men who had just entered the Earthly Flames Formation encountered an inhuman attack.

The moment the two young men entered the Earthly Flames Formation, they were affected by the illusion-type skill Shi Ji had set there.

At this very moment, their deepest fear was naturally Wang Boqing, who was chasing and slashing at them from behind.

Seeing Wang Boqing suddenly appear in front of them, sword in hand, ready to strike, the two men were momentarily stunned, then quickly parried.

Although it was a bit strange how he suddenly went from behind them to in front of them?

But their survival instincts still made them raise their weapons to block Wang Boqing's attacks.

“Clang!”

A sound of clashing metal rang out, and a hint of joy appeared in their hearts!

They blocked it!

However, before the two could rejoice, they were struck by two slashes from behind.

Shi Ji’s illusion-type Skill Card did not have very high attack power, so even though two slashes hit, neither of them lost their combat ability.

It was just that the purple defensive equipment on their bodies had dimmed considerably.

But there wasn't only Shi Ji’s attack in there.

The moment the two came in, Jiang Yuan shook the red banner in his hand.

The red banner moved, lightning fell from the sky, and flames surged from the ground.

Lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the tops of their heads, and flames suddenly shot up more than two meters high, engulfing the two of them.

The two of them had no idea what was happening.

After all, they blocked the frontal attack, so why were there two more attacks from behind? What were the lightning from the sky and the flames in front of them?

Under the attacks of lightning and flames, the purple defensive equipment on their bodies could no longer withstand the damage and shattered with a bang.

The moment the purple defensive equipment on their bodies shattered, the young man on the left saw a silver Steel Whip being flung towards him.

Steel Whip?

How did the sword turn into a Steel Whip?

However, before he could figure it out, his consciousness spun, and then his main body returned to the Great Plaza.

And the young man to his right fared even worse; he didn’t even see the attack before Nezha’s Fire Tipped Spear pierced through his chest.

The two appeared almost simultaneously in the Great Plaza, and after exchanging a glance, both showed bewildered expressions.

What was going on?

Wasn’t our opponent wielding a sword?

“What just happened?”

Seeing the two appear in the Great Plaza, a Vice Principal from a top academy was also curious about what had happened in the unseen scene.

After all, in their view, those two young men had only just entered for less than two seconds before being instantly killed and appearing back in the Great Plaza outside.

One must know that even with Nezha, Zhao Gongming, and other Card Spirits added, there were only four people of Late Stage strength and one person of Jiang Lou Mid Stage strength inside.

But two people of Daliang were instantly killed?

Is this reasonable?

“We should be able to see the scene inside, I’ll take a look.”

Jin Lingyu was also a bit curious; after they had hidden earlier, Jin Lingyu hadn’t paid attention, so he hadn’t actively checked the hidden footage.

But now it was different; now he was also very curious about how those two died.

With a series of operations by Jin Lingyu, the scene inside the Earthly Flames Formation quickly appeared on the screen.

Upon seeing what happened to the two young men after they entered the Earthly Flames Formation, everyone couldn't help but feel a bit strange.

“It’s a bit strange, is this some kind of Scene Card?”

“Lightning and flames, and such high damage, plus why didn’t they resist?”

Miao Xinghuo was puzzled, as it was very difficult for outsiders to tell if someone was affected by an illusion.

Furthermore, they did react, blocking one of the slashes with their weapons.

Although the two young men perceived it as Wang Boqing’s attack, from an outside perspective, it was their normal reaction to the first slash.

But the problem was that they were also of Great Beam strength; did they not notice the two obvious attacks from behind at all?

“Affected by an illusion?”

Guan Chutian strangely rewound the video to when Shi Ji released her skill.

As a Skill Card, she naturally had some understanding of illusions.

“If it’s an illusion, it doesn’t seem impossible.”

Jin Lingyu nodded: “However, this kind of area-of-effect illusion that also carries offensive capabilities is indeed quite rare.”

“Mainly because she hasn’t used it before.”

Jin Lingyu was naturally referring to Shi Ji; in previous combat videos, Shi Ji had basically never shown herself, apart from her method of summoning Undead Enslavement.

However, Jin Lingyu’s words made Li Yueying, who was beside him, smile.

Shi Ji, as a blue quality Skill Card at the time, naturally had no opportunity to display herself.

But now it was different; looking at the purple light that flashed when Jiang Yuan summoned Shi Ji just now, it already indicated that Jiang Yuan had also raised Shi Ji’s quality to purple.

Perhaps it was a new ability gained after Shi Ji’s quality was improved.

Everyone was puzzled, but soon their attention shifted back to Nezha and Zhao Gongming.

“Their attack power seems a bit strong, but those two young men were too weak to tell anything specific.”

“After all, their defensive equipment was already broken by the lightning and flames. If it really was the effect of an illusion, anyone could probably kill those two, so how can you tell their attack power is strong?”

Seeing the people from his own academy die so inexplicably, Yu Chengtian couldn’t help but speak up.

“That’s true.”

Everyone didn’t mind Yu Chengtian’s tone and nodded in agreement.

Killing those Jiang Lou Mid Stage strength individuals just now didn't reveal anything, and killing these two young men without defensive equipment now naturally wouldn't reveal anything either.

It just depends on how their upcoming battle with Wang Boqing turns out?

Wang Boqing had already reacted at this moment.

Although the two young men died quickly, Wang Boqing also reacted very quickly.

Extremely confident in his own strength, he unhesitatingly launched an attack towards the empty space in front of him.

If it was a Scene Card, then the defense inside would definitely be stronger than the defense outside; there was no need to go in, just attack directly.

Wang Boqing swept his longsword, a dazzling purple light flashed, then transformed into purple sword qi.

The nearly five-meter long sword qi swept across, directly striking the Earthly Flames Formation.

Wang Boqing could clearly see that his sword qi seemed to have hit something, and even the space trembled slightly.

Evidently, what the sword qi had just hit should be the scene released by the Scene Card hidden here.

“The defense is quite high.”

Wang Boqing muttered, then another purple quality Skill Card appeared in his hand.

He tapped his usual sword on the purple quality Skill Card, then quickly swung his longsword.

A cross-shaped purple sword qi once again attacked the Earthly Flames Formation.

“Too bad, the Earthly Flames Formation cannot be moved.”

After Wang Boqing’s first attack hit, Jiang Yuan spoke with a touch of helplessness.

Once the Earthly Flames Formation was successfully set up, it couldn’t be moved, and if the opponent didn’t come in and just attacked from outside, they would have no way to deal with it.

“Get ready.”

Seeing the purple quality Skill Card appear in Wang Boqing’s hand again, Jiang Yuan also spoke to everyone with a solemn expression.

Late Stage!

This was truly an opponent a major realm higher than himself.

Although it was only one person, from the previous attack, this guy’s attack power was definitely very strong.

Either run away directly, or try to fight.

Jiang Yuan’s hand moved, and a blue quality Skill Card dissipated in the air.

The small grass on the ground suddenly appeared in the air, and the next second, a small patch of grass on the ground disappeared, leaving a tiny hole in its place.

Mu Qianshan, Shi Ji, Nezha, and Zhao Gongming all looked towards Wang Boqing in front, completely oblivious to Jiang Yuan’s actions behind them.

However, Jiang Yuan’s actions did not escape the notice of those watching from outside the arena.

“Jiang Yuan’s screen moved?”

Miao Xinghuo let out a soft exclamation, then turned to look at the others in confusion: “I seemed to see his body flicker just now?”

“Hmm, I saw it too, he must have used some method.”

Everyone also curiously watched the screen, which was now divided into two parts; one was Jiang Yuan’s fixed camera, which was now moving.

The other was another camera on Jiang Yuan.

From the other Jiang Yuan’s camera, it could be clearly seen that as Wang Boqing’s second attack was released, everyone was already prepared.

Jiang Yuan, however, stepped forward and patted Mu Qianshan’s shoulder.

“If things go wrong, just run. Go two thousand meters back from here, then two thousand meters left, I’ll be waiting for you there.”

“Okay.”

Mu Qianshan was startled, then, as if he had thought of something, nodded and agreed.

Outside the arena, unlike everyone else’s confusion, Li Yueying, as Jiang Yuan’s teacher, understood what Jiang Yuan’s recent actions meant after a moment of thought.

Connecting it to Jiang Yuan’s various Skill Cards from before, it was likely that the one remaining in place was Jiang Yuan’s substitute.

And Jiang Yuan’s true body had already run a certain distance.

After all, even if a Card Spirit was defeated, it could be resummoned.

Furthermore, after the cooldown ended, the Card Spirit currently present could still be resummoned to his side.

It was just that she didn’t know what method he used.

Li Yueying chuckled softly: “What a little trickster.”
