"Master Carmilla has often said this to me before. I didn't think that even you would feel the same way, esteemed Grand Magus Ophalian."
Xu Yi maintained the smile on his face as he looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared. However, his heart became even more cautious.
Another Grand Magus!
Moreover, it was Grand Magus Ophalian who could be considered the strongest of the nine Grand Magi in the Kandla Empire!
It had to be said that the Kandla Empire was really willing to spend money this time. They had actually sent out two Grand Magi who had extremely high positions and were known as the strongest in the Sines. It was clear that they didn't want to give Xu Yi any chance of escaping.
Grand Magus Ophalian was already eighty seven years old this year, but he looked even younger than Grand Magus Raduka. If he said that he was only fifty something years old, people would believe him.
After hearing Xu Yi's response, he took a deep look at Xu Yi before saying with a sigh, "Chairman Xu, if you're willing to make a magic oath and announce to the world that you're disbanding the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, auctioning off all the industries under the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and never setting foot in the magic machine industry again, then Raduka and I can guarantee that your life won't be threatened.
What do you think? "
"Many thanks to you and Grand Magus Raduka for valuing my magic talent.
But ….. Sir Ophalian, do you know?
When I introduce myself to others, I always emphasize that I am the chairman of New Flyer and a merchant.
As for my identity as a magus, that's just a side benefit. "Xu Yi replied with a smile.
Grand Magus Ophalian silently stared at Xu Yi for a moment before taking a deep breath and lightly nodding.
"Alright, I understand.
Actually, I also knew that you would have this kind of answer. After all, those who can become Grand Magi are all people with strong wills and won't be easily convinced.
However, I still feel that it's a pity. Chairman Xu, do you know that with the magic talent you've shown, if you were willing to devote yourself to studying magic, you could become a Grand Magus that no magus has been able to reach for hundreds of years? "
"Grand Magus Carmilla has said this to me many times, but ….. I don't care."
Xu Yi shrugged and said with a relaxed expression, "I've said it before, compared to my identity as a magus, I care more about my identity as a merchant. New Flyer is my dream, I won't give it up no matter what."
"But if you're a Grand Magus now, the two of us …. No, even if the nine Grand Magus's Kandla Empire combined, we wouldn't be your match. Do you understand this point?" Grand Magus's expression suddenly turned serious..
"Magus Grand Magus," Grand Magus Grand Magus Grand Magus Magus''s' ''s.
's's' ''t' ''s' ''s't Grand Magus Magus Magus Magus Magus't' ''s right' ''t's't. "..
Grand Magus. and 'Magus to't' ''t't' '''t's''s''s's.
The magic space that had just calmed down instantly became berserk again. Endless magic elements swept back and forth in this space, causing the space within a few hundred meters that had been completely destroyed to become a purgatory.
However, on the other side, Arch Magus Laduka made a move at the same time and the Mana Space completely froze. The entire space was deathly silent, forming a sharp contrast with the Mana Space controlled by Arch Magus Aufarian. It looked very strange.
Magi below the level of Grand Magus mainly relied on the magic they had grasped to bombard each other. However, once they reached the level of Grand Magus, victory or defeat would be decided by both parties' understanding and control of their domains.
This was because to a magus who could control a domain, any magic was just a trick to put together magic elements. It didn't have any real meaning.
As long as they could completely control the magic space within their domain, then any magic would be a simple matter.
Therefore, a battle between Grand Magi was much simpler than a battle between low level magi. This was because there weren't many beautiful explosions of magic. The entire process of the battle even seemed a bit ordinary.
However, under this ordinariness, there was a great danger that ordinary people couldn't imagine.
Once the entire magic space was controlled by the opponent's Grand Magus, it meant that the magic elements in this space were completely controlled by the opponent. This also meant that one could be torn to shreds by all kinds of magic at any time.
Therefore, fighting with any Grand Magus meant that it was extremely dangerous.
And now, Xu Yi was being attacked by two Grand Magi at the same time.
This wasn't the first time that Xu Yi was going against a Grand Magus.
As early as nine years ago, Xu Yi had already faced off against Grand Magus Levin Hassock from the Mana Magic Kingdom.
However, Xu Yi was only a Great Magus at that time, so he didn't have any thoughts of fighting with a Grand Magus.
The so-called confrontation was only to lure Grand Magus Levin Hassock into a trap that had already been set.
Later on, Grand Magus Levin Hassock was hit by a powerful magic cannon condensed from hundreds of thousands of moi of magic power. As a result, he fell, but it didn't have much to do with Xu Yi.
From beginning to end, Xu Yi didn't make a move himself at all.
But now, this wasn't New Flyer. Not only was there no trap that the New Flyer had set for a Grand Magus, but Xu Yi had fallen into the trap himself and was being attacked by two powerful Grand Magi who had been famous for a long time.
To any magus, this was a situation of certain death.
Even if Xu Yi had successfully broken through to the realm of Grand Magus, there was no chance of him escaping by luck.
Marshal Sudirman had already retreated to a safe position in the distance, narrowing his eyes as he looked at Xu Yi.
Countless people in the Empire were having headaches over the threat and restraint of the New Flyer. When they didn't know how to deal with it, only he saw the key to solving this problem with a single glance.
That's right, the key lay with Xu Yi.
Many people felt that the New Flyer had become a colossus that even the Kandla Empire would find difficult to deal with.
However, Marshal Sudirman knew that Xu Yi, the chairman of the New Flyer who had been appearing less and less in public, was undoubtedly the core of the New Flyer.
To the other merchant guilds on the continent, the death of the chairman might affect them, but the consequences weren't serious. At most, they would just have to change the chairman.
However, to the New Flyer, Xu Yi wasn't just the chairman, but also the soul and pillar of the New Flyer.
Marshal Sudirman was certain that once Xu Yi died, the New Flyer would instantly be leaderless and fragmented. It would no longer be as united as it was now.
It would be much easier for the Kandla Empire to deal with such a New Flyer.
Therefore, even though the Kandla Empire had made countless preparations in private, the most crucial part of the entire plan still lay here, with Xu Yi.
As long as he was killed, it would mean that the entire plan was halfway to success!
In order to ensure that Xu Yi was killed, Marshal Sudirman had used his status as the Marshal of the Empire and even asked the Emperor to appear together. Only then did he manage to persuade two incomparably noble Grand Magi to act together.
Such treatment had only appeared a few times in the entire history of the Kandla Empire.
Just based on this, even if Xu Yi died, he would have no regrets.
However, Xu Yi didn't want to die at all.
Although facing the attacks of two Grand Magi would be a desperate situation for anyone, Xu Yi's expression didn't change. He even had the leisure to use his domain to regain control of the Mana Space around him while looking at the expressions of Grand Magi Aufalian and Grand Magi Raduka.
The two Grand Magi were naturally expressionless …
Xu Yi sighed. He knew that no matter how pleasant the words of these two Grand Magi were, no matter how much pity they had for him, it was all meaningless in the face of the country's interests.
Of course, he didn't have the right to criticize others.
No matter how lofty his ideals were, he was still the chairman of the New Flyer. Before considering anything, he had to prioritize the interests of the New Flyer.
So … How could he die here!
Xu Yi slowly raised his right hand and activated all the mana in his body. A black light lit up on the tip of his right index finger and turned into a halo that quickly spread outwards.
Whether it was the magic elements that had gone berserk because of Grand Magi Aufalian's domain or the magic elements that had solidified because of Grand Magi Raduka's domain, they immediately returned to their normal state after being swept by the black halo. It was as if boiling water had met ice and fish had returned to the sea.
The black halo quickly spread several hundred meters with Xu Yi as the center.
The domains of the two Grand Magi instantly lost their powerful control over the magic elements in the surrounding Mana Space under the influence of the halo. The originally strange space returned to normal in the blink of an eye, as if nothing had happened.
Grand Magi Aufalian and Grand Magi Raduka looked at Xu Yi in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.
Ever since the two of them had become Grand Magi, fewer and fewer people had dared to make a move against them.
But in the few battles that they personally fought, as long as they used their domains, as long as the enemy wasn't a Grand Magus of the same rank, they would be completely suppressed by them. They could even crush them at will.
Even if the enemy was another Grand Magus of the same rank, the two sides would only be competing in terms of their understanding of the domain and the strength of their magic. The battle would be extremely dangerous and there wouldn't be any relaxation.
But right now, Xu Yi had only raised his hand when facing their simultaneous attacks and had mysteriously dispelled the effects of their domains. He had almost disintegrated the weapons that they were most proud of. This was truly inconceivable.
In their eyes, even if Xu Yi's talent for magic was shocking and he had an abnormally strong understanding of domains after becoming a Grand Magus, he would at most be able to use his own domain to contend against them.
However, Xu Yi had directly dispelled the effects of their domains. This was already beyond their common sense!
How did this young brat do it?
