C17 Momentum

Three days later, Andy's team raised their flags and mounted their horses to set off on their journey again. Li Xiaofei looked back once he left the city, carrying his sword. The Magister stood on top of the city wall and looked at them coldly.

This victory, along with the fact that Andy killed Antoine, had already spread throughout the entire Golden Continent. Li Xiaofei was anxious, this meant that when they encountered the next enemy, they would face an even harsher battle.

Li Xiaofei told Selina about his worries. Selina sat on the horse, the wind blowing her red hair. She looked at the forest in the distance and sighed. "This is our path. Since we have come, we should try our best."

Every time Li Xiaofei took a break and set up camp, he would walk further away and take out his sketchbook and practice. Over time, he also liked the feeling of practicing his swordsmanship alone, regardless of whether it was an open grassland, a fertile field, a dense forest, or a moist lake, Li Xiaofei felt very calm in his heart when practicing his swordsmanship.

He didn't urge Li Xiaofei once and only quietly waited for Li Xiaofei to create the incantation for him. At the beginning, Li Xiaofei had tried to hide from Qin Hao, but as time passed, he could no longer hide from him and began to study the incantation suitable for Qin Hao.

Qin Wu displayed the incantation he could use to Li Xiaofei. He channeled both of his hands in a circle of magic to create a barrier around himself, which could still be used to expand and shrink his body. Although he could resist attacks that were impervious to other magical attacks, he didn't know what rank of magic he could resist.

Li Xiaofei looked at Qin Hao as if he was a hamster that was running inside a hamster ball, "Can you get out of that ball?"

"Sure." Qin Wu walked out freely. The round ball was still there. Li Xiaofei stretched out his hand and touched it. The stinging sensation wasn't too intense, but it was enough to make people not want to touch it a second time.

"Can you pick up this ball?" Li Xiaofei looked up and down. Qin Hao scratched his head: "I've never tried it, let's try it." As he said this, he reached out his hand. This ball didn't seem to pierce his skin.

"Smaller." As Li Xiaofei ordered, Qin Hao gradually shrunk the ball to the size of a basketball. He held it in his hand, and because it had shrunk, the ball was no longer transparent and white.

"Can you smash someone if you throw them?" Li Xiaofei felt that this ball was not bad as a projectile. Qin Wu frowned and threw it towards a tree not far away. While throwing it, he said, "I hope it has a stronger attack power …"

The latter half of his words were covered by the sound of a huge explosion. It was an explosion without fire or lightning, without huge flashes of light, but only a powerful air shock wave, causing the two of them to be unable to stand still, their ears ringing.

The tree was blown to pieces. Li Xiaofei took a piece of wood off his shoulder in shock. After that, he looked at Qin Wu, flabbergasted.

"That's okay." Li Xiaofei nodded, and Qin Wu nodded as well.

The two of them tried several times. From behind Qin Wu, Li Xiaofei held Qin Wu's wrist. Qin Wu made up his mind and formed a white ball the size of a basketball on his palm. Afterwards, he threw it out.

Li Xiaofei had kept his eyes closed the entire time. He only felt a strange air flowing through Qin Hao's hands. A thought flashed in his mind as he opened his mouth, "Follow me."

Qin Wu hurriedly listened carefully.

"Piercing wind, chilling water." Li Xiaofei only wanted to use a relatively overpowered poem as his incantation. After thinking for a long time, he only thought that it wasn't good luck to have said it, but he had already said it, and Qin Wu repeated it too.

The instant the incantation was completed, countless balls of this kind of energy hovered around Qin Wu. Those balls of energy were continuously produced along with Qin Wu's consciousness, and as he directed his gaze towards his target, explosions rang out one after another.

When everything quieted down, Li Xiaofei opened his eyes. He felt like his ears were going deaf.

"Thank you, Lee!" Qin Wu was so happy that he jumped up high and hugged Li Xiaofei as he laughed out loud. This was the first time Li Xiaofei saw him so happy. The two of them laid on the grass and laughed out loud.

"Cough." An awkward cough came from the side.

The two of them cast a sidelong glance and saw Charlie and Selina standing beside them. Selina looked at Li Xiaofei in disbelief. "Li, so the one you like is a man."

Charlie looked at Li Xiaofei with a look of schadenfreude, folded his arms and looked up.

Li Xiaofei hurriedly explained. Selina still took a few steps back and looked at Li Xiaofei with grief and indignation. "If I had known, if I had known, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

After saying that, Selina ran off. Li Xiaofei roared in his heart. Why is it that women are always so troublesome? Is it so difficult to listen to their explanation?

Qin Wu laid on the ground as he reached out his hand to cover his collar. Embarrassed, he didn't dare to look at Li Xiaofei. "Li, I'm very grateful to you, but I like women. I hope you don't misunderstand …"

"Misunderstanding your head!" Li Xiaofei ran after Selina. He swore to himself that he would never create spells for anyone else in his life again.

Selina ran into the forest. Li Xiaofei chased after her and shouted for Selina to stop. Selina stood beside a maple tree with her back to Li Xiaofei. "Li, you actually …"

"I like you!" Li Xiaofei felt like he was going to die soon, so he decided to use the shortest way to express the fact that he liked women. Selina was greatly shaken. She turned around and looked at Li Xiaofei with a blushing face, "Are you serious?"

"Yes." Li Xiaofei held onto the tree as he panted madly. He was so tired that he felt as if stars were shining in his eyes.

"Is that true?" Selina asked happily.

"Really, really." Li Xiaofei took a deep breath and nodded repeatedly.

"Are you sure?" Selina smiled like a flower.

"Are you done yet?" Li Xiaofei could not take it anymore. If he had to repeatedly confirm something, he might as well not talk about love anymore.

"Yes, yes." Selina smiled and lowered her head in embarrassment. Then, she smiled shyly at Li Xiaofei. "I like you, too."

"Not bad." Li Xiaofei's heart skipped a beat and pretended to be disappointed.

"I like it." Selina felt even more embarrassed.

"Oh, normal." Li Xiaofei shouted in an exaggerated manner.

"I like it. Is it over?" Selina smiled and imitated Li Xiaofei's voice. Then she jumped like a little deer to Li Xiaofei's side and wrapped her arms around his.

"Aren't you being too proactive?" Li Xiaofei's heart beat even faster. Selina stared at Li Xiaofei and said, "Don't be so shameless."

"I like to take the initiative." Li Xiaofei hurriedly smiled, thinking, "Am I going to be tricked from now on?"

The next place they arrived at was a city, which belonged to Antoine. When Andy and the others were standing at the entrance of the city, the bridge over the moat was raised. Archers were standing on the wall and facing Li Xiaofei and his group.

"Open the gate, Antoine is my defeated opponent, I am your new Lord." Andy said proudly.

The archer on the city wall did not move at all. He only opened a crack in the wall, and a woman wearing a long white dress and a black cloak appeared. She was beautiful, and her face was pale as if she had been malnourished for a long time.

"Daughter?" Andy looked at the woman doubtfully.

"Yes, Uncle Andy, my name is Meyer and I am the illegitimate daughter of Antoine. As his only flesh and blood, I have already succeeded him as the Lord of Riverside City. Please leave this place, otherwise, I will fight to the end." Meyer's face remained as cold as steel. She turned to her horse and said, "If they try to cross the border, kill them."

Then Meyer left the wall.

Andy looked at the archers on top of the wall who were on guard and sneered, "Relying on you?"

Andy gave Zoe a glance, and she sneered. The moat froze into an ice river, and the wall quickly froze as well. The archers on the wall didn't even have time to react before they discovered that their armoured bows and arrows were frozen solid.

The screams from the city wall turned into a mess. Andy smiled and said, "Move forward."

Just as his men took a step forward, Zoe's spell lost its effect, and the soldiers on the city wall calmed down. They nocked their bows and arrows, shooting them towards Andy and the others like rain. When Qin Wu made his move, a huge protective screen blocked the bow. Andy raised her head and saw an old man standing on the city wall.

The old man was so old that he almost couldn't stand up. With his snow-white hair and beard, he couldn't even open his eyes. He stretched out his hand, and an unknown force eliminated Zoe's magical attack.

"He is also a formless magician." Qin Wu felt that it was extremely familiar. Andy glanced at that old man, who was wearing a black robe, she couldn't tell who he was exactly.

"Who are you? If you let me into the city, it will minimize the casualties and I will treat you well. " Andy's tone was a lot more polite.

The old man didn't say anything, he just calmly stood on top of the city wall and calmly looked at Andy.

"Attack." Andy puffed her chest out while Qin Wu withdrew his guard. Using his brand-new incantation, Li Xiaofei anxiously said, "There is only one person on the city wall who knows magic, the rest are ordinary people. Don't be like this …"

However, his words were drowned out by the huge explosion. Li Xiaofei watched in shock as all the people around him rushed towards the city. The sound of the bowstring was heard, along with miserable cries.
