249: Meeting Xu Zheng again

Ever since Xia Qi defeated the War God Academy's team, he had not encountered an opponent capable of matching him.

And now, standing before him, was Xu Zheng's team.

"We meet again!"

Xu Zheng saw Xia Qi and spoke first.

At this moment, he was greatly different from before.

It seemed that his strength had improved significantly during this period.

Both of them were prepared for a major battle and said nothing more.

Instantly, all five members of Xu Zheng's side moved out together.

With a single Flash Step, he arrived in front of Xia Qi.

However, Xia Qi was already prepared.

The moment Xu Zheng approached Xia Qi, a surge of ice power erupted from Xia Qi's body.

Xu Zheng had already taken precautions and instantly raised a Qi barrier.

The ice power was blocked by this Qi barrier, and Xu Zheng seized the opportunity to launch an attack on Xia Qi.

Xia Qi immediately retreated, putting distance between them.

Although Xu Zheng's Qi barrier blocked the invasion of the ice power, he was still affected by it.

Xu Zheng's speed had slowed down considerably at this point, and Xia Qi aimed a sword strike at him.

The surging Sword Qi directly repelled Xu Zheng, and a slight ripple appeared on his barrier.

While Xi Ai was focused on dealing with Xu Zheng, his other teammates also moved.

The support immediately buffed the others, while the warrior assisted from the side.

The gunman and the mage immediately launched their attacks on Xia Qi.

Xia Qi immediately created an ice wall to block the sudden attacks.

Just as Xia Qi was about to strike Xu Zheng, a black light suddenly shot out from the other side.

Xia Qi hurriedly used his sword to block; the black light was blocked by the sword and then immediately spread outwards.

The moment Xi Ai came into contact with this black light, he felt his attributes decreasing.

Indeed, among this team, not only Xu Zheng was strong.

The strength of the others was equally not weak, just incomparable to Xu Zheng.

Clearly, Xia Qi had fallen victim to the mage's curse skill.

However, this slight decrease in attributes was harmless to Xia Qi.

The next instant, Xia Qi immediately used Group Weakening.

The attributes of all five people immediately decreased by fifty percent.

Xia Qi immediately unleashed a Sword Qi strike at Xu Zheng; the most crucial thing now was to deal with Xu Zheng.

This Sword Qi was blocked by Xu Zheng's barrier, but this attack also caused Xu Zheng considerable damage.

This series of combined attacks made it impossible for Xu Zheng's teammates to even get close to Xia Qi for a while.

Moreover, as time passed, they continued to weaken.

Conversely, Xia Qi grew stronger with each passing moment.

The attacks of the five people no longer posed any threat to Xia Qi.

Xia Qi's consumption was relatively smaller.

Continuing to drag out the fight would be more advantageous for him.

But the five of them were different; aside from Xu Zheng, the attacks of the others posed no significant threat to Xia Qi.

Even if they used their ultimate skills, the threat they posed to Xia Qi remained limited.

Given the current situation, even if Xu Zheng had support skills for recovery, he couldn't recover his strength in a short time.

Under Xia Qi's skills, they were all greatly affected.

Especially the Group Weakening used by Xia Qi, which reduced everyone's attributes.

Xu Zheng's teammates were all greatly restricted.

Aside from Xu Zheng, the other four were in very poor condition.

Even Xu Zheng's current situation was not optimistic.

His Qi barrier had already been broken by Xia Qi.

Now Xia Qi launched a fierce assault on Xu Zheng, with sword moves erupting in an instant.

Xu Zheng's Qi barrier would not hold for long.

He didn't use any skills or perform other attacks; he simply clenched his fists.

The next instant, a large amount of Qi condensed on Xu Zheng's fists.

A sacred aura emanated from Xu Zheng's body.

His punches were fierce, and the Qi, under his control, continuously danced.

Xu Zheng, who had been on the defensive under Xia Qi's attacks, finally launched a counterattack.

This instantaneous counterattack caused Xia Qi's offensive to pause for a moment.

It was during this brief moment that Xu Zheng's punch broke through Xia Qi's ice wall.

Then, his fist shot directly towards Xia Qi's direction.

Xia Qi's eyes narrowed, and he held his sword in front of him.

Two powerful auras collided in an instant.

Xia Qi only felt his arm go numb, and his sword nearly slipped from his grasp.

A moment of daze appeared in his eyes.

After a while, he stabilized his stance and tightened his grip on the sword.

And Xu Zheng, taking advantage of Xia Qi's momentary daze, had already evaded the attack.

However, at this moment, although he had dodged the attack, the Qi on his body was almost depleted.

He struggled to maintain his Qi barrier, resisting Xia Qi's attacks.

Xia Qi breathed slightly, his momentary lapse had given Xu Zheng an advantage.

However, for Xia Qi, it had no significant impact.

At present, his strength was not affected.

If he wanted to, he could end this battle in an instant.

But he didn't do so; instead, he prepared for a good fight.

Only then could he improve his own strength.

He had fought Xu Zheng once before, and that time Xia Qi almost revealed all his trump cards.

This time, Xu Zheng's threat to him was much smaller.

So, he might as well have a good fight with Xu Zheng.

Xia Qi's sword continuously swung, launching a fierce attack on Xu Zheng under the cover of Sword Qi strikes.

Xu Zheng's Qi barrier was already on the verge of collapse.

Although it was still barely holding on, it was about to give way.

Just as Xu Zheng's Qi barrier was about to give out, a figure flashed from the side and appeared beside Xu Zheng.

This figure was none other than the warrior teammate who had been behind Xu Zheng all along.

He had been carefully dodging Xia Qi's attacks, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Only at this moment, with most of Xia Qi's attacks focused on Xu Zheng, did he feel this was an opportunity, a chance for a sneak attack.

He seized the moment and shot directly forward.

In his hand, a sharp spear light burst forth.

This spear light collided with Xia Qi's Sword Qi.

These two powerful elements collided, instantly transforming into surging Qi waves.

The powerful Qi waves sent Xu Zheng spewing blood and flying back over ten meters in an instant.

Xia Qi was also sent flying back, retreating several steps before stopping.

He looked at the warrior; the opponent's strength was not weak either.

This sudden attack was somewhat unexpected for him.

It did have an effect, but it was still a bit lacking.

Xia Qi immediately stabilized his stance and launched an attack on the distant warrior.

Heavenly Flame Seven Severance Slash!

Seven figures simultaneously slashed towards the warrior.

Seven consecutive flame slashes all targeted that warrior, striking from seven directions.

The warrior immediately realized the danger and quickly used his long spear to block.
