This was Qin Yi's first battle against an immortal cultivator. Previously, he had only fought against mortal martial artists and monsters. The monsters he faced were mostly physical types, with some spellcasting included—Cheng Cheng was primarily a spellcaster, but they hadn’t actually fought each other. Therefore, his prior battles could largely be categorized as physical confrontations.
But the opponent before him, Qing Xu, was truly a pure mage. Qing Xu barely moved, his body lacking any sense of agility or explosiveness. Yet, it was impossible to land a blow on him; the earth shields that emerged around him blocked all physical attacks and electric strikes from the Wolf Fang Club. At the same time, a pair of zombie-like hands reached up from the ground, gripping Qin Yi’s ankles.
He felt a sensation of blood and flesh being crazily drained away. Acting quickly, Qin Yi swung his club down hard and shattered those hands, and the ground returned to normal as if they had never existed. Suddenly, a myriad of sharp spikes appeared in the air, surrounding Qin Yi, and then they howled downwards like a rain of arrows.
