Chapter 220 The Enemy Trapped in a Cage
Chapter 220 The Enemy Trapped in a Cage
Zhao Ran and Teacher Li's fiery clones clashed first. Teacher Li's fists were engulfed in flames as he relentlessly pounded Zhao Ran with punch after punch. With the support of the "Dance of Fire" technique, Teacher Li's movements were extremely agile, and he occasionally delivered whip kicks, leaving Zhao Ran unable to keep up.
Looking at Teacher Li, who resembled a martial artist, Zhao Ran couldn't help but mutter, "Teacher, your attack style is really not like that of a mage."
Teacher Li kicked away a spike that was shot at him, and then said, "Kid, the battlefield is ever-changing. The attacks you've been subjected to aren't just ranged ones."
Hearing Zhao Ran's complaints, Qi Yu's lips twitched slightly, then he pretended not to hear and continued to focus his attention on the other person.
Just as Zhao Ran and the other were fighting, Teacher Li's main body attacked in a completely opposite way to his clone. Flames were generated on his hands as he chanted rapidly.
Seeing this, Qi Yu was naturally not foolish enough to stand and wait for her to finish singing. With a push from his feet, the vines behind him braced against him, and Qi Yu rushed toward her at lightning speed.
"Come on, let me see how much you've improved?"
After saying that, Teacher Li waved his hands, and a series of flames spread in all directions like halos, igniting most of the ground.
Qi Yu swept the vines in front of him, shaking off the flames attached to them, and rushed to his opponent without slowing down. Then, he swung one powerful attack after another.
Upon seeing this, Teacher Li frowned slightly, his feet flashing with "Dance of Fire" as he dodged the opponent's fierce attack.
Seeing the vines attacking from all sorts of tricky angles, Teacher Li's expression softened slightly, but she still asked sternly:
"Your agility and proficiency have improved, but your attack methods haven't changed at all? You've been fighting that stone golem for almost half a month, and this is all the improvement you've made?"
Qi Yu smiled but did not reply. However, several vines had already burrowed into the ground beneath his robes, rapidly approaching his opponent under the cover of their sharp vine impact.
Seeing that the other party did not respond, Teacher Li narrowed her eyes, leaped into the air to dodge a sweeping attack, and was about to say something when...
Suddenly she felt magical fluctuations coming from the ground below her. When she looked down, several vines had broken through the soil and wrapped around her hands and feet. Then, like a cage, they pulled her to the ground and imprisoned her.
Teacher Li looked around at the cages in surprise, then nodded: "Hmm, is this a new technique you developed? Trapping the enemy?"
"Yes, Teacher Li, the intertwined vines are not as simple as 1 plus 1 equals 2. Although it cannot control you for a long time, it should be enough to control you for a while."
Seeing that his cage had successfully trapped him, Qi Yu finally spoke with a smile, then manipulated the vines around him to pierce through the gaps in the cage towards Teacher Li, who was imprisoned inside.
Just then, Teacher Li stomped her feet on the ground, and the flames on the ground around her, which had been ignited by the halo of flames, jumped almost simultaneously, and then her figure disappeared instantly.
Seeing this, Qi Yu was stunned, and then felt a thorn in his back. Almost instantly, Qi Yu lunged forward. A wave of heat almost grazed his scalp and hit the cage where Teacher Li was being held. Almost instantly, the cage was engulfed by explosion and flames.
Qi Yu swallowed hard, then stood up and turned to look in the direction of the attack. He saw Teacher Li standing next to a cluster of still-extinguished flames, with smoke slowly rising from her outstretched hand.
"You've developed some good trapping magic, but unfortunately, you can't trap me, your teacher."
As Teacher Li spoke, she took another step, and her figure disappeared once more. She then reappeared at another spot of flames not far away, and the flames there slowly went out as she appeared.
Right where she had just stood, five or six more vines sprouted from the ground, attempting to weave a cage, but unfortunately, Teacher Li had already escaped.
"Teacher Li, you used this spell to break free from my restraints and create a fire clone that nearly killed me, didn't you?"
Qi Yu's lips twitched slightly upon seeing this, and he asked with a helpless expression.
Teacher Li did not answer, but instead reached out and began to chant a fire spell. This was because, while Qi Yu was asking her the question, he had already begun to restore the number of vines behind him and use the vines to clear away the surrounding flames.
"Kid, you can show off all the results of your training. Otherwise, if you try to tough it out like before, you won't be able to participate in the next trial of fire. Just stay in your dorm and recover."
After saying this, Teacher Li put her hands together and condensed a large fireball in her hands. With a gentle throw, the fireball quickly rose into the air and then settled in mid-air like a small sun, radiating waves of heat.
Qi Yu looked up at the scene in mid-air, his brows furrowing slightly. Although he didn't understand the opponent's attack method, out of caution, Qi Yu still chanted "Thorns" and protected himself all around.
"Sunflare, go!"
After Teacher Li finished speaking, he suddenly pressed his clasped hands down, causing the fireball in mid-air to shrink and then suddenly disappear. Immediately afterward, a wave of heat rushed over, and a large amount of flame energy exploded around Qi Yu.
The explosions occurred with incredible speed; Qi Yu and his companions didn't detect any attack trajectory, as if the explosions appeared out of thin air. Before Qi Yu could even make any defensive or dodging movements, they were engulfed by the scorching flames of the sun.
"Boom boom boom..."
Zhao Ran, who was fighting, turned his head to look at this scene, his brows furrowed. Originally, when he was attacking Qi Yu, he wanted to control the growth of the thorn trees around him to help him resist some of the attacks, but because he was tightly restrained by his clone, he had no time to make a move.
"Qi Yu! How are you?"
Zhao Ran looked at the large pit not far away, which was steaming with white smoke and flames. Seeing that there was no movement below, he frowned slightly, but because of the other party's restraint, he could not help.
As Zhao Ran was pondering a solution, a sudden noise came from the bottom of the pit. A large hand, made up of more than a dozen intertwined vines, gripped the edge of the pit.
With a powerful push from the giant hand, a figure leaped out of the pit, accompanied by another giant hand formed from intertwined vines. This person was none other than Qi Yu, who had been blasted into the ground.
