Covered in golden fur, wearing a suit of golden armor, and holding a long staff in his hand.
Upon seeing Master Yi draw his sword, Sun Wukong charged forward wielding his staff.
Who are you people?! How dare you cause trouble here!
Xu Xiao stared intently at the charging monkey for a few moments, until the Doran's Staff swung towards his face, at which point a look of regret appeared in his eyes.
'It's a pity he wasn't a reincarnation of a monkey.'
With a casual flick of his wrist, Sun Wukong and his staff flew backward, faster than the speed at which Sun Wukong charged at him.
"Void!" Master Yi shouted, then gripped his longsword tightly, transforming into a streak of light and shadow.
Alpha Strike!
A top-tier swordsmanship technique that allows for rapid, high-speed movement and slashing attacks, enabling one to traverse the battlefield and eliminate enemies in the blink of an eye.
'bite!'
The emerald green longsword swung down, striking a layer of transparent Arcane shield.
No matter how Master Yi, the blade couldn't penetrate even a fraction of an inch.
Xu Xiao raised his hand and waved it, unleashing Arcane Energy that, like a halo, pushed Master Yi back more than ten meters, interrupting his attack.
Seeing that the other person was gripping the sword hilt tightly with both hands, Xu Xiao frowned and said with some displeasure:
"I know you hate Noxus's invasion, but I don't think I've laid a hand on you, have I?"
If you keep attacking me, I won't hold back anymore.
After speaking, Xu Xiao glanced calmly at Master Yi and his disciple, who stood side by side but did not continue their attack.
Clearly, even with just one strike, both of them recognized the vast difference in strength between them.
If the fight continues, even Master Yi himself isn't confident he can gain the upper hand against the mage in front of him.
"Damn Noxus, what are you doing here?"
"You think you can scare me just because you're strong? I'm not afraid of death!"
Master Yi's eyes, hidden beneath his helmet, were fixed on Xu Xiao, deeply impressed by the latter's strength.
He was not afraid of death, otherwise he would not have led the disciples of the Wuji Sect down the mountain to fight against the invading Noxus army.
But now, he is the only one left to inherit the Wuji Sect. Although Sun Wukong has grasped a part of the Wuji Way, he is still too inexperienced as an inheritor.
'I can't die here yet! No matter what this Noxus wants to do, I must preserve the flame of the Wuji Sect.'
Having made up his mind, Yi looked at Xu Xiao with a cold gaze, while quietly gesturing to Sun Wukong beside him.
"I'll stop him; you find a chance to escape."
"Master, I..."
"Listen to me, Kong. This is the only thing I can do. If you stay, no one in the Wuji Sect will ever know about it again."
Wukong paused for a moment upon hearing this, then finally nodded.
"Don't look at me like I'm entrusting my child to someone. I didn't say I was here to cause trouble; it's just a misunderstanding."
Xu Xiao smiled helplessly as he watched the two about to put on a show of desperately trying to stop each other.
This monkey is not the same as that monkey; it was another wasted trip.
"You're not here to cause trouble? Then what are you doing here? Noxus mages, besides invasion and destruction, what else do you care about?"
Yi gave a disdainful sneer.
"Of course there are. I'm interested in Ionia's Native Magic, those remaining ruins, and the Ancients. How could there not be?"
Xu Xiao said with a smile.
That's true. If he wants to fully understand the magic system of the Valoran world, then he must understand and master the Native Magic of Ionia.
Since we didn't find the monkeys, taking this opportunity to explore Ionia, get acquainted with Native Magic, the Spirit Realm, and the ancients is a good option.
"Just as I suspected! You ambitious people always come with an ulterior motive."
Yi Wenyan gripped the sword hilt tightly, his impression of Xu Xiao worsening even further.
The First Lands is a sacred place for all Ionia, but since the Noxus army arrived, this land has been plunged into chaos.
Every Ionia dislikes those who covet the First Lands, and Yi is no exception.
Taking a deep breath, Yi's aura suddenly changed, a cold and sharp aura, like a sword being drawn from its sheath, surged from his body, making him resemble a sword drawn from its sheath.
"Since you're also an ambitious person, then stay here!"
Yi's figure transformed into a phantom once more, this time moving even faster than before, like a streak of light.
The longsword in his hand, along with the short sword at his feet, swung back and forth, unleashing a series of rapid strikes towards Xu Xiao's Arcane shield.
These sharp strikes were also mixed with a pure, unyielding spiritual energy that kept trying to tear apart the barrier in front of Xu Xiao.
The combination of Highlander and Wuju Style, along with Master Yi's exquisite swordsmanship, demonstrates that the opponent has truly unleashed their most powerful abilities in this fight.
Unfortunately, such a powerful offensive still failed to tear apart Xu Xiao's shield, and only earned him a mocking laugh.
"Foolish mortal, do you think you can be my enemy with such power alone?"
Raising his hand, Arcane Runes appeared, and magical power surged!
The next second, Arcane brilliance erupted before Master Yi, and unparalleled power surged toward him.
Even though Master Yi retreated immediately and even attempted to weaken the energy with a slash, it was to no avail.
With a single strike, Yi's figure was sent flying by the Arcane torrent, crashing heavily into the Wuji Sect's buildings.
Wukong, who was standing nearby, also moved the moment Yi made his move. He did not obey Yi's order to run away, but instead picked up his long staff and charged forward to meet the challenge.
Unfortunately, before he could get close, the aftershocks of the Arcane torrent struck him, causing him to fall back down from where Master Yi had been launched.
The master and apprentice crashed into several buildings, their fate unknown.
"A pointless act of resistance; they're being ungrateful."
Xu Xiao shook his head and turned to leave, but just as he was about to fly away, a peculiar fluctuation caught his attention.
"This is!! A fluctuation of magic!"
Xu Xiao's eyes sharpened; he sensed a trace of power that did not belong to Valoran.
Turning my head, I saw several figures rising from the ruins, and the magical fluctuations were emanating from some of them.
Master Yi closed his eyes and meditated to heal his injuries, while the aura of Magic Power emanated from Wukong.
Three monkeys, identical to him, appeared in the arena, emanating magical energy.
"What a coincidence! I was just about to leave when you gave me another surprise."
Xu Xiao turned back. The fluctuations of the spell were completely different from magic. He was certain that this was a spell he was familiar with.
And in this world, who else besides him knows this kind of magic?
The answer is obvious!
A new path has opened up before us!
