Fire Rain, a spell of the third step.

Merely, this rain of flames was not a speck of fire. Rather, it was a rain of fireballs with extraordinary might. Even if the one in front of it was a high-level team, they would still be completely annihilated by the sudden attack of this mutated spell.

Qi Rui was not an idiot. Although he was surprised that he made a mistake, his body movements was still able to keep up with his escaping train of thought. In the nick of time, he leaped up, barely dodging the sneak attack of the mutated rain technique.

Qi Rui, who had escaped death, scolded himself for being careless.

The other party clearly knew that something was amiss. If they could not find traces of him, they would definitely take precautions. If he did not have enough intelligence, he would hastily launch a sneak attack, which would be tantamount to sending himself to the door. Such a crazy performance should not have happened to the first-in-line successor of a super noble.

BOOM!

Qi Rui's calamity did not come to an end just like that. The mutated fire technique was just an appetizer.

The Magician who knew how to use invisibility had long used his strong spiritual force to firmly lock onto Qi Rui's body without even giving him a chance to escape. Right when Qi Rui had just finished dodging, a standard exploding fireball exploded into the bushes that Qi Rui had rolled into. Not only did it blast a hole that was at least four meters in diameter and close to a meter deep, it also blew up countless pieces of burning wood, slashing Qi Rui's noble body into a complete mess.

"Quasi-seventh step Magician!"

With such a fast casting speed, even if he wasn't Great Magister, he was still an existence with quasi-seventh step.

Qi Rui had no time to be afraid or upset, he retreated towards the direction of the Old Roy like an arrow. Right now he had no plans to win, to be able to ambush and kill a master was already out of his expectations, if he took his time, the berserk Ge Lixiding would probably kill him.

But this Magician seemed to have seen through Qi Rui's thoughts as he chanted a melodious magical rhythm from under the cliff without restraint. Following that, more and more mutated fire techniques came crashing down, their target being the place where the Old Roy was hidden.

"Run!"

Qi Rui knew that he mustn't be outstanding otherwise, not only would he have to face the beating of other nobles, he would also have to endure the fury of the thunder.

But Old Roy showed the martial arts that he had secretly cultivated.

Although Old Roy was old, his body could still be considered sturdy, and her qi could still be considered strong. The battle qi, which was considered pitiful in the eyes of Thunder and the others, had actually exploded at a speed faster than their peers. Old Roy turned into a sharp arrow and flew out of the range of the mutated rain of fire.

Boom …

The canyon was covered in dust and it was crumbling.

The figures of Qi Rui and the Old Roy were rapidly running through the forest, and in the blink of an eye, they covered a distance of more than ten meters. In just two to three breaths, Qi Rui and the Old Roy had already escaped the mind blocking range of the quasi-seventh step Magician.

And at this time, the furious Ge Lixiding had just barely managed to climb the cliff.

Qi Rui was a very courageous person.

The moment he sensed Ge Lixiding's aura getting closer and closer, just as he was about to leap up the cliff, and just as his mind was about to be still, his proficient archery skills allowed him to make the most accurate shooting movements and angle. Accompanied by the departure of the bowstring, another pale-white ray of light passed through the gaps in the dense forest, straight towards Ge Lixiding who had leapt up the cliff.

"Damn it!"

Ge Lixiding roared as he rolled on the ground in a sorry state.

BOOM!

Crushed rocks flew everywhere, and large chunks of rock at the edge of the cliff collapsed.

"Ah …"

"No …"

"Help!"

Before the three Sixth Order Warriors had the time to leap up the mountain, a large area of the mountain's crumbling rock walls had already caused the three pitiful Sixth Order Warriors to plummet with a loud crash, screaming miserably.

Looking at the miserable situation his three companions were in, Ge Lixiding finally realized that Qi Rui's ultimate goal was not him, but those three unlucky fellows. Without the assistance of his comrades, the frail Magician was unable to climb such steep cliffs, which meant Ge Lixiding had to fight alone.

Even a group of people working together had fallen into such a situation, let alone Ge Lixiding alone.

Ge Lixiding's heart was instantly corroded by a frightening chill, causing fear and cowardice to surge within. However, the moment Ge Lixiding thought of entering the forest, he knew that it was difficult for him to unleash Qi Rui's terrifying archery skills. Furthermore, Qi Rui was only a swordsman with Sixth Order, he was on a completely different level compared to himself, an old master who had struggled in seventh step for nearly twenty years.

Thinking about how Qi Rui had once asked him for guidance on Swordsmanship a few years ago, Ge Lixiding's confidence couldn't help but somewhat recover.

As for the current Qi Rui, under the stimulation of his previous successful attempt, his confidence was rather high, he actually gave up his most advantageous Demon Hunt Bow, and slowly walked out of the forest to meet Ge Lixiding's suspicious eyes.

This was not because Qi Rui was arrogant and conceited, but because he had no choice but to do so. There was a price to pay for using the Demon Hunt Bow, even professional master s with seventh step would not be able to continuously cast the Demon Hunt Bow multiple times, let alone Qi Rui. It was Qi Rui's limit to shoot three of the strongest Demon Hunt Bow in a row.

Without the help of a Demon Hunt Bow, Qi Rui knew that if he did not have the ability, he would most likely be tortured to death by Ge Lixiding and thrown into the Sunset Forest to feed those hungry wild beasts. Moreover, Ge Lixiding still had a Magician to assist him with quasi-seventh step, while a Old Roy was dragging him down by her side. The situation was only the worst, not the worst.

Therefore, Qi Rui could only risk his life, betting his life for an opportunity, an opportunity to make the Old Roy make her move.

"Master Ge Lixiding, Qi Rui never thought that you would be the one to take the lead in this chase!"

On the surface, Qi Rui was looking at Ge Lixiding seriously, but in actuality, he was secretly adjusting his recently depleted combat power, hoping to recover to his peak state in order to welcome the enemy in front of him, who might be the strongest in his entire life.

At this moment, the distance between the two sides was less than thirty meters.

Regardless of whether it was Sixth Order or not, this kind of distance was just outside the attacking range of the two parties. As long as the other party made the slightest move, both sides would be prepared. It could be considered a relatively safe distance.

Ge Lixiding no longer looked at Qi Rui with an appraising attitude, and said with a sigh, "Who would have thought that the boy who had such an aristocratic air was actually so patient and intelligent? If he had known that we would use this kind of method to make the final decision, Ge Lixiding would not have passed down that technique to you. "

Hearing that, Qi Rui immediately laughed and expressed his thanks, "That's right, if not for Master Ge Lixiding teaching him a few years ago and teaching him how to use the power of magical weapons to sense the operation of his Dou Qi and challenge the limits of his body, it would have been impossible for Qi Rui to be promoted to a high level swordsman so easily.

The experience of a master was extremely valuable, it could be seen how optimistic Ge Lixiding was about Qi Rui's future, to actually teach him such a secret trick.

Ge Lixiding took a deep breath, suppressing his depressed and angry state of mind. Old sword masters were worthy of their reputation. Whether in terms of combat power or experience, they were no match for youngsters of the same level. They were often able to maintain a good attitude in inferior situations, and were able to quickly recover even when they were at a disadvantage.

Qi Rui didn't have much complex feelings towards Ge Lixiding. Although Ge Lixiding had taught him the secret technique to promote, ever since Ge Lixiding had come to kill him, that kindness was now history. Right now, there was only one thought in Qi Rui's mind: How to kill Ge Lixiding.

Honestly speaking, Ge Lixiding was also quite puzzled in his heart:

The Demon Hunt Bow that was clearly the most dangerous to him actually abandoned him and switched to the most open and open challenge mode. If it was Qi Rui's aristocratic mentality, he did not have to worry at all; if Qi Rui wanted to rely on that old fellow whose cultivation was not even in the advanced realm to sneak attack him, even if that old fellow used the Demon Hunt Bow to sneak attack him, the strength of the arrow would definitely not be stronger than any of the arrows that Qi Rui shot previously, it would even be considered good if it had half the strength of the arrow.

This was all within the range that Ge Lixiding could endure.

After Ge Lixiding analyzed his situation, he felt that the probability of Qi Rui winning against him was close to zero, so he ignored Qi Rui's so-called schemes and tricks. Therefore, Ge Lixiding was too lazy to waste his time with Qi Rui. He slowly took out his Magic Sword s and walked towards Qi Rui, step by step.

Qi Rui's eyes jumped at first, but then flashed a proud smile.

When Ge Lixiding saw Qi Rui's smile, his expression froze for a moment, but his steps were still firm and forceful, and he did not hesitate at all because of this smile.

Moving, Ge Lixiding's body turned into a blur.

Although Ge Lixiding was not known as a thief or an assassin based on speed, he was still a master. His speed was definitely even faster than a normal high level assassin.

However, Qi Rui had already made an estimate on Ge Lixiding's speed. Even if the fighting strength that Ge Lixiding displayed was even more terrifying than what he had expected, he had no time to think. The Magic Sword in his hands drew an impeccable slash, arriving last, and his target was Ge Lixiding's wrist which was flying over quickly.

Qi Rui's figure was perfect, even taller than Ge Lixiding. Furthermore, Qi Rui's Magic Sword was a bit longer than Ge Lixiding's Magic Sword, so with the two of them combined, Qi Rui's attack could hit Ge Lixiding perfectly, but Ge Lixiding could not hit him.

Everything had been calculated, as though Ge Lixiding's attack was something to be chopped at.

"Alright!"

Even as an enemy, Ge Lixiding had no choice but to submit to Qi Rui's exquisite Swordsmanship. In terms of technique, Qi Rui was worthy of the title of genius.

In the blink of an eye, his combat power, his muscles, as well as his posture changed. The sword that was originally thrusting straight at Ge Lixiding followed his movements and unexpectedly turned into a spiralling attack, just in time to dodge Qi Rui's slash.

Qi Rui was fearless in the slightest. His nimble body moved horizontally in an impossible situation, and just as he barely dodged Ge Lixiding's Magic Sword, the Magic Sword in Qi Rui's hands released a burst of flame-like brilliance, and accompanied by a crescent moon-like Flame Moon Slash that flew out, ruthlessly and unpredictably slashing towards Ge Lixiding's chest.

Humph!

What he did not expect was only a cold snort from Ge Lixiding.

Ge Lixiding's entire body erupted with an eye-piercing earthen brown light, and actually took Qi Rui's Flame Moon Slash head-on.

"Hiss …"

Under the impact of the Flame Moon Slash, two scars that were six meters long appeared on Ge Lixiding's feet.

"That's right!"

Ge Lixiding gave Qi Rui a sinister smile, seeming to be praising, yet also looking down on him.

To use an incomparably tyrannical battle qi to receive an all-out slash from him; this kind of enemy was truly terrifying enough. But not only did Qi Rui not show any signs of panic or fear, he instead had a trace of excitement on his face. To be able to fight against such an enemy was Qi Rui's honor and also his best chance to cross this bottleneck.

"You guys fight seriously, we'll wait and see."

A figure holding onto Old Roy's body suddenly walked out of the forest, smiling at the terrified Qi Rui, while the three bright fireballs that were floating in mid air and constantly threatening Old Roy, carried a strong sense of threat, causing Qi Rui to not dare to act rashly.

It was that Magician, the quasi-seventh step Magician that could use the mutated fireball technique and the invisibility technique.
