As he spoke, Li Hui took out a square magic artifact from his storage bag. The artifact was a deep gold color, about the size of a fist, and resembled a stone brick made of ancient bronze. He did not sense any magical fluctuations and looked quite unremarkable.

Yao Han couldn't just stand there and wait for him to cast a spell. Since he had already gained the upper hand, he had to hold onto the advantage. So he took out a few items from his storage bag—three spirit stones, mixed with an explosive talisman—and threw them at Li Hui, who was not far ahead.

Li Hui's eyes still held anger, but he was not blinded by rage. He was prepared and his divine sense was locked on Yao Han. He was not careless because the only thing thrown was a few spirit stones. With a thought, a ghostly shadow appeared beside him and attached itself to his feet. With a light leap, he dodged far away.

As he leaped forward, a dark red light appeared on the fingers of his right hand, and he pressed it firmly against the surface of the cube-shaped magic artifact—

The magical artifact, shaped like a stone brick, was activated, accompanied by a deep hum like a swarm of bees, and flew out of my hand, spinning rapidly into the sky. As it spun, it grew larger and larger, with each of its six sides carved with different intricate patterns, its black and red spiritual light flickering faintly, accompanied by gusts of yellow sand.

With a flick of Li Hui's fingers, the magical artifact suddenly stopped spinning and split into six enormous stone slabs in mid-air. The slabs dispersed above the two men's heads, with four of them quickly taking over the four corners of the house, while the other two hovered three zhang in the air, slowly rotating.

Six stone slabs surrounded the entire Dharma performance platform from different directions. As soon as they took shape, a yellow wind suddenly arose on the platform, with sand and stones flying everywhere. The sky darkened and even the spiritual energy became somewhat dry and turbid!

From an outsider's perspective, the entire performance platform looked like a giant, semi-circular, sandy-yellow bowl turned upside down, making it impossible to see what was actually happening on the field.

The disciple in charge of presiding over the altar consulted Fang Tingyu and, after receiving her approval, instructed his colleagues to raise the array around the altar, instantly making the "giant bowl of yellow sand" much clearer.

Most of the onlookers were independent cultivators who had never seen such a magical artifact before, and they all speculated whether this Foundation Establishment senior had used some kind of magic array.

"It is not a legal formation."

Fang Tingyu looked towards the stage while explaining to the person next to her:

"This item is called the Flying Sand Tablet, also known as the 'Thunder-Suppressing Tablet.' The six stone tablets are made of pure earth-type minerals and are not rare. However, this item is rarely used in ordinary battles because the only function of the Flying Sand Tablet is to change the terrain and sky within a certain range, which can effectively weaken the power of thunder-type magic weapons. It can be said that it is specifically designed to counter cultivators who practice thunder magic."

"The Thunder-Suppressing Stele! I see. I had indeed heard of this name before, but this is the first time I've seen it in person. In that case, this senior must have brought out this treasure to counter some kind of lightning-based technique. I didn't expect him to be prepared!"

"The Thunder-Suppressing Stele, the Thunder-Suppressing Stele... If I remember correctly, this thing is actually quite useless. Because the area it covers is too small, it can only be effective on this kind of restricted space platform. In normal combat, as long as the opponent is not stupid, they can easily escape by using any kind of escape technique."

"By the way, this thing seems to be specifically effective against Heavenly Thunder Seeds. Could it be that this Senior Qi Refining has some Thunder Seeds hidden away?"

"Who knows? But this is quite a commotion, hehe, this is getting interesting..."

There was much discussion outside the venue, while the atmosphere inside was tense and confrontational.

"All you're relying on is a few lightning bolts. Don't even think about using them against my Thunder-Suppressing Monument!"

The Thunder-Slaying Stele.

Yao Han silently murmured the name.

He was aware of this item, but this was the first time he had encountered it in actual combat.

As his thoughts raced, a bronze bead appeared at his fingertip. He tried to inject his magic power into it, but found that under the influence of the surrounding environment, the inside of the bead was like a swamp. No matter how much magic power he used, there was still no reaction, and the familiar lightning was slow to appear!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

His actions were observed by Li Hui, who let out a strange laugh, placed the giant axe on the platform, and changed the hand seals. The stone platform suddenly began to tremble continuously. With a loud rumble, the floor tiles shattered, and soil and stones flew. The gravel and sand in front of him continuously condensed and instantly transformed into three earthen yellow mud dragons. They bared their fangs and claws and attacked Yao Han from three different directions, as if they wanted to devour and tear him apart!

Li Hui may look like a brute, but he is not stupid. When he saw that his innate skill had been seen through by the other party, he abandoned it and used only the most basic Five Elements skill to intimidate the other party!

Yao Han's expression was solemn, his eyes were cold and stern, and spiritual light appeared on his feet. He retreated rapidly backward, and then a black and white beaded string appeared in his hand!

He held the Yin-Yang Beads in front of him, and the string of beads spun rapidly in mid-air, revealing a black and white Yin-Yang diagram that collided fiercely with the leading earth dragon!

The moment the two touched, they produced a violent friction sound like sawing wood. Under the constant grinding of the Yin-Yang diagram, the earth dragon disintegrated and soon turned into countless fragments that scattered with the wind.

Yao Han blocked only the fastest one that rushed towards him, then put the Yin-Yang Beads back into his bag, raised his hands in front of his chest, and rapidly changed his hand seals. Then he stomped his right foot hard on the ground!

With one step, the stone platform trembled again. It was as if countless giant pythons were crawling under the floor tiles, and raised cracks appeared. Then, countless thorny vines burst out of the ground, grew and spread. In the blink of an eye, the remaining two earth dragons were pierced and bound by thorny thorns and could not move!

Li Hui snorted coldly, hoisted the axe back onto his shoulder, and charged forward while casting a spell with one hand. The earth dragon dispersed into smoke and sand, and five fireballs suddenly condensed in mid-air, then split into ten and fell with his finger, like a rain of fire or a meteor falling from the sky. The momentum was overwhelming and terrifying!

The fireballs fell in a flurry, and the moment they touched the vines scattered on the ground, they ignited with a fierce momentum. The hard thorny forest withered and twisted in the scorching heat, turning into dark charcoal.

The remaining fireballs rushed towards Yao Han. Facing the raging flames, he retreated again, pointed his fingers in the air, and a golden round shield carrying swirling snowflakes appeared in front of him!

As the circular shield grew larger with the incantation, snowflakes melted into water droplets, converged into streams, and finally transformed into a vast, all-encompassing vortex of water that protected him. The falling fireballs were completely annihilated in this vortex-like wave, leaving only a series of rising wisps of white vapor.

The intense battle left the onlookers holding their breath, secretly marveling at its brilliance!

Unexpectedly, this unfamiliar Qi Refining cultivator was able to use the Five Elements theory of mutual generation and restraint to contend with the Foundation Establishment cultivator and neutralize his attacks one by one!

This means that he is not only very familiar with the Five Elements Daoist arts, but also has a very meticulous control over his own magical power.

Among the crowd watching outside were many elders from other sects who had come to the market to buy goods. They immediately took a liking to this young cultivator and had the idea of ​​bringing him back to their sect.

"Trying to teach an expert but failing miserably? You really think you can stop me with a few minor spells?"

A furious shout came from not far in front of him, and a domineering black light slashed across, splitting the protective water curtain in two!

The axe blade was sharp and menacing, coming down at Yao Han's head, less than three feet away from his forehead!
