The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

In fact, the two of them were not wrong; Ji Fengyan’s provocative words had utterly enraged Duan Muxi. Green veins bulged across his wrinkled face as he raised his magic staff. He started chanting a sacred-level curse. Strong winds blew from all directions towards his staff as the powerful force of the light-based sorcery stirred.

Ji Fengyan stared at the rapidly chanting Duan Muxi and said nonchalantly, “So slow.”

The old man and burly man nearly puked blood.

Slow?

Duan Muxi’s chanting speed was already the fastest among the sorcerers!

But…

Without waiting for Duan Muxi to finish his incantations, Ji Fengyan lit up a second talisman with a light touch of her finger.

As the talisman burned, a silver lightning bolt descended from the sky and headed directly towards the chanting Duan Muxi.

A sorcerer was at his weakest during an incantation. And the speed of that lightning bolt was way faster than anyone could react.

Duan Muxi only had time to stare as that lightning bolt descended. A sense of foreboding rose in his heart, but… he was already half-way through his incantation—if he suddenly stopped now, he would suffer counter damage from the sorcery.

Worse still, Duan Muxi’s current spell was a powerful sacred-level sorcery. The consequences of the counter damage… it was unlikely that he could withstand it.

Just as Duan Muxi was struggling whether to bear that lightning strike, Master Yue’s expression completely changed as he detected the power behind that lightning bolt.

“Quickly stop the incantation!!”

Duan Muxi shuddered at that low shout. Without any time to consider further, he immediately cut off his own incantation. At that moment, the light-based sorcery accumulated on his magic staff instantly surged into Duan Muxi’s heart and his whole body was thrown violently across the air.

At the very second that Duan Muxi was thrown off, the bolt of lightning viciously struck his original spot.

A loud boom rang out and a three-meter deep, two-meter wide crater appeared exactly where Duan Muxi was standing!

Duan Muxi was thrown heavily upon the ground. The counter damage from the sacred-level sorcery had smashed up his internal organs within seconds. Fresh blood spurted from his mouth.

Master Yue immediately rushed over to Duan Muxi’s side. He focused a pale green light from his palm into Duan Muxi’s chest. Only then did the violently twitching Duan Muxi stabilize.

But…

The thunderstruck crowd broke out in a cold sweat as they looked at the huge crater formed by that lightning.

If that lightning bolt had struck Duan Muxi, probably…

Duan Muxi’s life would have ended there and then.

What shocked the Elders even more was the fact that the lightning bolt held an intense energy derived from light-based sorcery!

Master Yue lifted his head in disbelief. Looking at the smiling Ji Fengyan, he no longer felt the least bit casual and relaxed. Instead, shock and amazement were written all over his face.

How was this possible?

How could Ji Fengyan be able to perform both light-based and darkness-based sorcery?

This was something that was entirely impossible!

Light and darkness had always been opposites right from the beginning. There was no way they could coexist.
