Versatile Mage: The Crimson Flame Lion, the Strongest Spirit!

Chapter 127 Killing and Defeating Japan

The golden runes drawn by Li Xuan shone even brighter, stubbornly carving out a stable area amidst the chaotic magical elements.

The runes floated slowly, gradually converging into a huge golden magic circle that hovered in the center of the arena, radiating powerful and pure magical energy, which contrasted sharply with the dark aura of the mysterious power.

As the magic circle took shape, the trembling magical barrier gradually stabilized, and the cracks in the ground stopped spreading, even showing signs of healing. However, the mysterious man clearly wouldn't give up so easily.

Seeing Li Xuan attempt to break the ritual, they immediately increased their magical output, their magical artifacts shining brightly as beams of black energy shot towards Li Xuan. Sensing the danger, Li Xuan quickly opened his eyes and manipulated the golden magic circle to defend himself.

The black energy beam struck the magic circle, unleashing a dazzling light and a deafening sound. The magic circle trembled slightly, but still firmly withstood the attack. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Xuan concentrated his magic power and propelled the magic circle's force towards the mysterious man.

The golden magic circle, carrying immense power, surged towards the audience seats. Wherever it passed, the chaotic magical elements were purified and returned to a stable state. Seeing this, the mysterious figures cast defensive spells, forming black shields in front of them.

The golden magic circle and the black shield collided, releasing bursts of magical energy that shook the entire arena. At this moment, Mo Fan had broken through the mysterious figures' outer defenses and was approaching their core position.

Seeing Li Xuan manipulate the magic array to launch an attack, a fighting spirit surged within him. "Boss, I'm here to help you!" Mo Fan shouted, his hands quickly forming hand seals, and dark magic gathered in his palms into a huge ball of dark energy.

He hurled the energy ball at the mysterious man's magical artifact, attempting to disrupt their ritual implements. The dark energy ball streaked across the sky like a black meteor, hurtling straight towards the mysterious man's magical artifact.

The mysterious man sensed Mo Fan's intention and hurriedly diverted some of his magic power to defend himself. However, Mo Fan's attack was a concentrated display of his full power, and it was not so easily blocked.

The dark energy ball exploded on the mysterious man's defensive magic, the powerful impact forcing them back several steps, and cracks appeared in their magical artifacts. Li Xuan was overjoyed to see Mo Fan succeed.

He seized the opportunity and increased the power of the golden magic circle once more. Golden light instantly enveloped the entire audience, and the mysterious figure appeared and disappeared within the light.

Under the impact of the powerful magical force, the mysterious figure's ritual finally faltered, and the magical elements within the arena began to rapidly return to normal. Just then, the arena's loudspeaker announced: "The organizing committee has dispatched reinforcements. The mysterious interference force is about to be eliminated. Please remain calm." Li Xuan and Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. They knew that this sudden crisis was about to pass. Seeing the situation was dire, the mysterious figure attempted to retreat. However, the organizing committee's reinforcements had already arrived. A group of mages dressed in white robes appeared in the stands, quickly casting spells to surround the mysterious figure.

The mysterious figure attempted to resist, but gradually lost his ability to fight back under the combined attack of numerous magicians. With the mysterious figure subdued, everything in the arena returned to calm.

The magical barrier was intact, the ground was smooth and level, and the magical elements had returned to their former stability. The referee returned to the arena, cleared his throat, and loudly announced, "The match continues!"

The golden runes drawn by Li Xuan shone ever brighter, stubbornly carving out a stable area amidst the chaotic magical elements. The runes drifted slowly, gradually converging into a massive golden magic circle, suspended in the center of the arena, radiating powerful and pure magical energy, a stark contrast to the dark aura of the mysterious power.

As the magic circle took shape, the trembling magical barrier gradually stabilized, and the cracks in the ground stopped spreading, even showing signs of healing. However, the mysterious man clearly wouldn't give up so easily.

Seeing that Li Xuan was trying to break the ritual, they immediately increased their magical output, and the magical items in their hands shone brightly, shooting beams of black energy towards Li Xuan.

Sensing the danger, Li Xuan quickly opened his eyes and manipulated the golden magic circle to defend himself. The black energy beam struck the magic circle, unleashing a dazzling light and a deafening sound. The magic circle swayed slightly, but still firmly withstood the attack.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Xuan concentrated his magic power and pushed the power of the magic array toward the mysterious man.

The golden magic circle, carrying immense power, rushed towards the audience seats. Wherever it passed, the chaotic magical elements were purified and returned to a stable state.

Seeing this, the mysterious figures cast defensive spells, forming black shields in front of them. The golden magic circle collided with the black shields, releasing magical energy that shook the entire arena.

At this moment, Mo Fan had broken through the mysterious man's outer defenses and approached their core position.

He saw Li Xuan control the magic array to launch an attack, and a fighting spirit surged in his heart.

"Boss, I'm here to help you!" Mo Fan shouted, his hands quickly forming hand seals, and dark magic gathered into a huge ball of dark energy in his palms. He threw the energy ball at the mysterious man's magical artifact, attempting to disrupt their ritual tool.

The dark energy sphere, like a black meteor, streaked across the sky, heading straight for the mysterious man's magical artifact. The mysterious man, sensing Mo Fan's intention, hurriedly diverted some of his magic power to defend himself.

However, Mo Fan's attack, imbued with all his power, was not so easily blocked. The dark energy sphere exploded on the mysterious man's defensive magic, the powerful impact forcing them back several steps, and cracks appeared in their magical artifacts. Li Xuan was overjoyed to see Mo Fan succeed. He seized the opportunity and increased the power of the golden magic circle again. Golden light instantly enveloped the entire audience, and the mysterious man's figure appeared and disappeared within the light.

Under the impact of the powerful magical force, the mysterious figure's ritual finally showed a flaw, and the magical elements within the arena began to rapidly return to normal. Just then, the arena's broadcast rang out: "The organizing committee has dispatched support forces. The mysterious interference force is about to be eliminated. Please remain calm, all contestants." Upon hearing this, Li Xuan and Mo Fan both breathed a sigh of relief.

They knew the sudden crisis was about to pass. Seeing the situation was dire, the mysterious figure tried to retreat. However, reinforcements from the event organizing committee had already arrived.

A group of mages in white robes appeared in the stands. They quickly cast spells, surrounding the mysterious figure. The mysterious figure tried to resist, but under the onslaught of numerous mages, he gradually lost his ability to fight back. With the mysterious figure subdued, everything in the arena returned to calm.

The magical barrier was intact, the ground was smooth and level, and the magical elements had returned to their former stability. The referee returned to the arena, cleared his throat, and loudly announced, "The match continues!"

Li Xuan and Mo Fan quickly rejoined the team and reunited with their teammates.

Their faces showed fatigue, but their eyes shone with determination and fighting spirit.

On the Japanese team's side, Akiho and others were also urgently discussing their next tactics. The unexpected incident had left them shaken, but it had also ignited their hidden desire to win. With the referee's announcement, the match once again entered a heated phase.

The Japanese team launched the first attack, employing a more cohesive teamwork to execute a fusion magic technique.

Shao Hegu manipulated earth magic, constructing an intricate network of earth veins beneath the arena's surface. These veins, like the earth's blood vessels, contained powerful energy.

Meanwhile, the gentle girl infused ice magic into it, causing sharp ice crystals to condense on the surface of the earth veins, giving it both hardness and offensive power. Ming Busong stood at the rear of the team, using wind magic to connect the magic of his teammates, forming a magic cycle that continuously provided energy support for the attacks ahead.

Li Xuan keenly sensed the change in the Japanese team's tactics and immediately gave instructions to his teammates: "Everyone, pay attention, the Japanese team has strengthened their teamwork this time, we can't fight them head-on. Lingling, analyze the weaknesses in their magic; Zhao Manyan, prepare defensive magic in case of unforeseen circumstances; the rest of you, follow the tactics you've practiced in training, be flexible and look for opportunities to counterattack."

Lingling quickly activated her magical perception ability, observing the Japanese team's magical operations with keen eyes. She discovered that although the Japanese team's magical circulation was exquisite, there were brief magical fluctuations during the energy transmission process.

"Captain, their magical connection experiences momentary instability at each energy transmission node, lasting approximately 0.3 seconds," Lingling reported to Li Xuan via magical communication.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan had an idea. He turned to Mo Fan and said, "Mo Fan, I will use wind magic to disrupt their magic cycle. You find the right moment and use dark magic to launch a surprise attack on their core location, targeting Ming Busong. As long as their magic connection is broken, their fusion magic will collapse on its own."

Mo Fan grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth. "Don't worry, boss, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Li Xuan's hands moved rapidly, summoning a powerful wind-elemental magic. This magic transformed into invisible blades, striking towards the Japanese team's magic connection lines. The Japanese team sensed Li Xuan's intention and hurriedly diverted some of their magic to defend themselves.

In the instant their magic clashed, Mo Fan seized the 0.3-second gap in the magical fluctuations and charged towards Ming Busong like a black lightning bolt. He gathered dark magic in his hands, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Ming Busong.

Seeing Mo Fan charging towards him, Ming Busong was greatly alarmed and hurriedly cast wind magic to defend himself. However, Mo Fan's speed was too fast, and his dark magic was inherently adept at concealment and surprise attacks, causing Ming Busong's defense to be slightly delayed. Mo Fan's dark magic struck Ming Busong, and although it did not cause fatal damage, it successfully severed the magical connection between him and his teammates.

The Japanese team's fusion magic instantly showed a flaw; their earth-elemental energy, deprived of the ice-elemental magic's support, began to loosen, and ice crystals began to fall off. Li Xuan seized this opportunity and commanded his team to launch a full-scale counterattack.

The team members unleashed their magic, and the arena was instantly filled with light as powerful spells rained down on the Japanese team. The Japanese team was thrown into chaos, and their defenses gradually crumbled under the relentless attacks of Li Xuan's team…

Although the Japanese team was in disarray, they did not give up. Despite his injuries, Akiho shouted, "Everyone, hold on! Rebuild your defense!"

Upon hearing this, the team members quickly adjusted their stance, struggling to gather their magic power amidst the torrent of magical attacks, attempting to form a new defensive line. Shao Hegu fully controlled earth magic, erecting layers of thick earthen walls in front of the team. These walls were tightly connected, their surfaces covered with defensive runes he had applied with all his might. Each rune shimmered with a faint light, resisting the impact of Li Xuan's team's magic.

The girl, behind the earthen wall, continuously poured ice magic into it, causing a thick layer of ice to quickly condense on the surface, greatly enhancing the wall's defensive capabilities. Li Xuan, seeing the Japanese team reorganize their defense, flashed a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"As expected of the Japanese national team, even when at a disadvantage, they can quickly adjust their strategy."
"However, we are determined to win this match," he muttered to himself, then channeled his magic again, preparing to launch an even more ferocious attack.

Li Xuan raised his hands high, his body surging with magical power. The three elements of wind, thunder, and fire gradually merged in his hands, forming a huge three-colored magic sphere.

Inside the magic ball, the three elements intertwined and collided, emitting booming sounds, as if containing world-destroying power. "Try this!" Li Xuan shouted, throwing the magic ball towards the Japanese team's defensive position.

The magic ball, like a burning meteor, trailed a long, fiery tail and hurtled towards the Japanese team with overwhelming force. The Japanese players, seeing the incoming magic ball, were filled with fear, but they did not retreat; instead, they maintained their defensive magic with even greater determination.

The moment the magic ball struck the earthen wall, the entire arena seemed to be enveloped in a blinding light. Immediately afterward, a deafening roar followed as the magic ball unleashed its immense energy, shattering the earthen wall and ice layer instantly. The powerful impact sent the Japanese team members staggering. However, just when everyone thought the Japanese team was about to collapse, an unexpected event occurred.

Ming Busong had quietly moved to the flank of the team, holding a crystal ball that emitted a strange light in his hand, chanting incantations. As his incantation rang out, the crystal ball shone brightly, and a mysterious magical power surged from it, enveloping the Japanese team members. The injured team members who had been lying on the ground began to heal rapidly under the influence of this mysterious power, and their strength gradually returned. "This is..." Li Xuan frowned; he had never seen such a magical artifact before.

"Everyone be careful, the Japanese team seems to have a backup plan," he warned his teammates. Mo Fan, watching the Japanese team's changes, said defiantly, "Whatever their backup plan, I'll take them down one by one!" He then prepared to charge forward again. Just then, the audience in the stadium, captivated by the dramatic turn of events, became even more excited. Cheers and shouts mingled together, cheering on both teams.

Some spectators even began discussing the origin of the mysterious magical item used by the Japanese team, filling the arena with a tense and exciting atmosphere. Li Xuan and his teammates, meanwhile, were on high alert, ready to meet the Japanese team's next attack. The final outcome of the match remained highly uncertain…
