Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up

Chapter 663 - 566: Duel

As Zhao Yi and the Queen were laughing and chatting in the garden.

The matter involving Zhao Yi had already spread across the world, and everyone was tense after hearing that Zhao Yi’s win or loss would determine the Queen’s future. Some powerful wizards directly approached the Great Mage, hoping for permission to eliminate Zhao Yi right away.

They were all devoted admirers of the Queen and could not allow the risk Zhao Yi posed. The Great Mage outright refused them, informing them that the strongest wizard, Haliphate, had already been notified to swiftly come and duel Zhao Yi.

"Zhao Yi is an actual Law powerhouse, backed by formidable forces. You can’t beat him, and killing him would incite a cosmic war. Do not act recklessly!"

The Great Mage restrained the others and then entered into tense preparations.

The day of the duel arrived quickly; the Great Mage chose a location on an endless plain, surrounded by floating platforms that could hold tens of thousands.

Everyone craned their necks toward the entrance, eager to see what Zhao Yi looked like.

"Look! He’s coming!" A girl loudly pointed to the entrance.

"Wow! So handsome! No wonder the Queen wants to marry him."

"Yes, indeed, he is dashing and skilled! I would want him too!"

"Who wouldn’t want him?"

The girls kept praising Zhao Yi, causing some young male wizards to scornfully whisper that Zhao Yi was merely a pretty face and also very flirtatious, which resulted in angry rebukes from the girls.

"Today’s duel here features Zhao Yi from the Law Realm against Haliphate! If Zhao Yi loses, he must stay here; if he wins, he’ll be free to come and go as a friend!" The Great Mage announced the stakes and then stepped aside.

Haliphate had already drawn his Magic Staff and was eyeing Zhao Yi. Sensing the other’s formidable power, he dared not be careless and immediately used Flame Technique, with a giant fireball forming mid-air and transforming into a venomous snake, launching an attack on Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi summoned the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, transforming it into a Water Dragon. The two clashed wonderfully in the air, with Dragon’s Roar truly echoing in the audience’s ears, while the floating seats incessantly bobbed up and down.

As the flames engaged with the Water Dragon, Haliphate also flashed behind Zhao Yi, thrusting the Magic Staff like a sharp sword toward Zhao Yi’s back. Zhao Yi, unaware, was stabbed; Haliphate was delighted but soon found Zhao Yi’s body morphing, a vortex forming on his back, attempting to absorb the Magic Staff.

The real Zhao Yi appeared behind Haliphate, fingers glowing ready to bind Haliphate, but the audience’s gasps warned Haliphate, who instantly dodged the counterattack and distanced from Zhao Yi.

Haliphate managed to keep his Magic Staff but looked quite disheveled, his hairstyle tousled and clothing wet.

Meanwhile, the victor was decided in mid-air, several Fire Dragons were swallowed by the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, which then opened its mouthwide, spraying flames at Haliphate, who swung his Magic Staff to ward off the flames, chanting incantations until the flames vanished.

"You’re indeed remarkable, possessing such miraculous magic. If it were someone else, they’d be defeated by now!"

"I thought you couldn’t speak, always starting with attacks. Turns out you just didn’t want to talk. Shall we continue?"

Zhao Yi hadn’t had such thrilling battles of wits and strength for a long time; now, fully engaged, he wanted no idle banter, prompting him to actively provoke.

With Zhao Yi’s arm waving, a commotion stirred inside the great hall, countless bumps arose from the ground manifesting numerous giants! The giants brandished their tall arms, launching an assault on Haliphate, who, unwilling to be outdone, swung his staff, causing grass to fly like snowflakes around the giants, obscuring their vision.

The ground also softened, eventually turning into a swamp that quickly expanded, engulfing the giants. From the swamp, filthy mud-men climbed out, emitting a loud noise, causing severe headaches, prompting the Nine Dragon Jade Seal to attack the mud-men without waiting for Zhao Yi’s orders.

A massive flood emerged on the plain, its waves surging, thoroughly cleansing the mud-men.

At this moment, the flying grass reached Zhao Yi, amidst the grass appeared sweet birds and flitting butterflies, with some girls flashing among them, beckoning constantly toward Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi suspected it might be an Illusion Technique, knowing how challenging it was to deal with these, he invoked the Law of Life.

The girls quickly aged, the grass gradually withered, eventually falling to the ground, yet the fallen grass emitted white smoke instead of disappearing. Zhao Yi hadn’t pinpointed the cause before the grass shone and exploded!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Huge explosions created shockwaves, swaying the spectators from side to side, with only the Great Mage remaining unaffected on the spot.

"Did it succeed?"

"Probably not, we don’t see the fellow anywhere."

"I think he must be dead; there is no one who can defeat Haliphate!"

The audience whispered among themselves, making guesses, some male mages desperately wishing Zhao Yi had been blown to bits, yet their hopes were dashed!

The reality made their pupils dilate, their souls stirred!

A Water Dragon protected Zhao Yi, leaving him unharmed!

"Master! This guy is truly formidable! What do we do?!"

"Try not to use the Power of Laws, I want to beat him openly and honorably!"

Zhao Yi knew, despite Haliphate’s strength, faced with the Power of Laws, he couldn’t resist, and winning would be easy but unjust.

Haliphate was confident after the explosion, expecting it to defeat the opponent! But Zhao Yi remained unscathed, and just as he was lost in thought, Zhao Yi flashed before Haliphate, throwing a fist the size of a sandbag!

"Boom!"

Despite blocking Zhao Yi’s fist, the Powerful forces launched Haliphate far away, finally crashing into a mound, emerging from it with a solemn expression, he discarded his coat and raised his staff, chanting a complex incantation, with its sound expanding in the air.

The faces of all mages turned grave; such vast magic unfolding so close was difficult to escape from. The Great Mage realized this, waving his arm to retreat the floating seats, expanding the arena significantly.

Now, thunderclouds filled the sky, accompanied by rolling thunder.

"Master, it seems he’s preparing to strike us with thunder; what should we do?"

Without responding, Zhao Yi clasped his hands, gathering strength. He used Time Law to accelerate himself, absorbing energy from the plain with the Law of Life, causing the surrounding prairie to rapidly wither, the Great Mage, seeing this, paled! He never imagined Zhao Yi possessing such formidable power!

But now, it’s too late to stop it, he could only hope they wouldn’t make too much of a ruckus!

"Power Giants!"
