The moment the beam of light disappeared into the air, Aisie Hall made the first move.
An eerie purple light swept across the sky, hurtling towards Chu Liyue.
Chu Liyue showed no sign of panic. Her eyes flashed with a cold light as she swung her sword to meet the attack, unleashing another earth-shattering shockwave.
It only lasted a moment.
A strange sound suddenly came from the sky, and a streak of dark blue light streaked across the night sky, rapidly plunging down towards the location where Chu Liyue and Aisie Hall were.
Aisie Hall suddenly raised her eyes, her eerie eyes blazing with purple light as she gazed at the shooting star-like streak of light.
Suddenly, a blur flashed before her eyes, and Chu Liyue's stunningly beautiful face loomed large in her vision.
However, her pretty face was filled with a chillingly cold expression, and she raised her lightsaber above her head, then swung it down at her without hesitation.
Aisie Hall's pupils contracted slightly, and he quickly crossed his hands, forming a purple shield in front of him. The shield collided and rubbed against the sword blade, producing a piercing, sharp sound.
In the midst of their fierce exchange, the blue streak of light landed steadily above their heads.
It was a silver sphere with a diameter of one meter, a smooth surface, and a faint blue glow, looking like a small moon floating in the air.
A sudden flash of ferocity appeared in Aisie Hall's purple eyes. Although she didn't know what it was, driven by an instinctive sense of crisis, she raised her hand and unleashed a purple beam of light that shot straight toward the silver sphere suspended in the air.
She was fast, but Chu Liyue was even faster. She raised her hand and unleashed a sword light, severing the purple radiance.
The next second, a dazzling light shone from the center of the silver sphere.
Immediately afterwards, rings of pale blue light spread outwards, spreading through the air like ripples.
In the blink of an eye, these halos gradually converged into an invisible light shield, completely enveloping the space within hundreds of meters.
Previously, Chu Liyue and Aisie Hall fought so fiercely that no one else could get involved and could only watch from a distance.
In an instant, a light barrier covering an area of several hundred meters enveloped everyone.
Faced with this sudden situation, everyone tensed up and hurriedly looked around, while anxiously checking their own physical condition.
But after several seconds, they did not feel any discomfort, and nothing seemed to happen.
Only a faint electrical hum from the photomask echoed softly in the air.
What did you do?
At this moment, Aisie Hall's voice rang out, no longer soft, low, and nonchalant as before, but instead filled with coldness and gloom.
She looked almost unchanged, her beauty remained as alluring as ever, and there were no visible injuries on her body.
But everyone present was exceptionally capable and had keen eyesight. They quickly noticed that the purple aura emanating from Aisie Hall had dimmed considerably and was showing signs of exhaustion.
Yunmo also felt something was off. He appeared unchanged on the surface, but his brows furrowed slightly involuntarily.
"The supernatural technique isn't working anymore, is it?"
Chu Liyue's lips suddenly curled into a cold, subtle smile as she looked at Aisie Hall, whose brows were furrowed, and spoke in a cold voice.
Aisie Hall's alluring face shifted between light and shadow. She looked up at the silver sphere glowing with blue light above, then glanced at the surrounding semi-transparent blue light shield.
"This is what's causing the trouble."
Chu Liyue's expression was indifferent. Holding her lightsaber, she looked directly into Aisie Hall's eyes and slowly spoke:
"Many of your extraordinary abilities are actually just a special transformation of the magnetic field energy in nature, right?"
Aisie Hall's eyes instantly darkened.
She didn't speak, but judging from her expression, Chu Liyue knew that her judgment was correct.
She watched as Xiao Wujie, the pinnacle of supernatural abilities, displayed countless techniques, both large and small, that she had witnessed.
She keenly observed that the supernatural powers of magic did not originate from the caster.
It's more like they can establish a special connection with external energy through their own mental activities, thereby acquiring and manipulating this energy and demonstrating abilities beyond ordinary people.
She asked Xiao Wujie, and Xiao Wujie explained to her that 90% of the strange arts follow this rule: the practitioner connects with the energy of heaven and earth and uses it for their own benefit.
Furthermore, through various ingenious ideas and the exquisite control and application of this energy, surreal and almost magical effects are achieved.
The remaining unusual techniques that do not conform to this rule are called forbidden techniques. These techniques can no longer be achieved by transforming the power of heaven and earth; they extract the practitioner's own resources and require an extremely heavy price to pay.
Xiao Wujie didn't understand science; his explanation was almost a form of metaphysics.
Chu Liyue didn't understand metaphysics, but she was smart enough that through her understanding and experiments, she discovered that the so-called mobilization of the power of heaven and earth was just the caster tuning the frequency of the Earth's magnetic field.
If she can sever the connection between the caster and the external magnetic field, wouldn't the caster be trapped in a "skilled cook without rice" dilemma?
Thus, a new weapon specifically designed to target Aisie Hall was developed.
Magnetic Field Isolation Device (MFD)
It has a silver sphere on the outside and contains sophisticated electronic equipment and an energy core inside. It can quickly analyze the magnetic field distribution of the surrounding environment and generate a powerful reverse magnetic field accordingly.
This device, by establishing a connection with satellites in specific orbits, is able to receive instructions and deploy an invisible light curtain barrier in a designated area.
This barrier is not a physical obstacle, but rather a complex series of electromagnetic waves that effectively shield and distort the normal flow of the Earth's magnetic field.
For casters within the barrier, this means their connection to the external magnetic field is severed, and they can no longer easily acquire and use magnetic field energy as before.
As the strength of the barrier increases, the connection between the caster and the external magnetic field will gradually weaken until it almost disappears completely.
Beneath the light barrier, the purple aura surrounding Aisie Hall dimmed considerably, and the carefree smile that had graced her face vanished, replaced by a somber expression that seemed to drip water.
She also discovered that the energy of heaven and earth available to her was extremely scarce, which meant that she would have to face Chu Liyue, who had previously held her own against her, with her mortal body.
Chu Liyue raised the lightsaber in her hand, her eyes filled with chilling killing intent, and pointed it directly at Aisie Hall.
She coldly addressed Chu Nanfeng and the other three behind her: "You guys go first, back to the hotel, and don't let A-Jie out."
Before the words were finished, Aisie Hall's cold voice suddenly rang out: "Stop them!"
The assassins behind them instantly sprang into action, surrounding Chu Nanfeng and his companions. At the same time, even more assassins in black emerged from the darkness in the distance.
A cold glint flashed in Chu Liyue's eyes as she was about to swing her sword to stop him, but then she saw a slender hand reach forward and grab, and purple light condensed into a purple longsword.
She moved swiftly, heading straight for Chu Liyue.
The purple longsword clashed with the blue lightsaber, producing a series of sharp clangs.
A subtle, almost imperceptible darkness lurked beneath Aisie Hall's extremely somber eyes.
After all that planning, do you really think you can turn everything around with just a technological device...?
