To the "Red Demon," the warriors who died under the tower were nothing more than lackeys sent by various factions. He had no relationship with them, so naturally, he felt no sorrow over their deaths. In fact, the possibility of recruiting a sword emperor level bodyguard was what really excited him.

Chen Xuanfeng smiled, knowing that the two elder mages must have some tricks up their sleeves. However, he had come to kill, and all the stories he told were just lies to deceive. He had no intention of honoring any agreements. Therefore, if the other party wasn't planning to risk their lives, he had already gained a significant advantage. Even if they tried some dirty tricks, it would be better than facing all-out desperate moves. No matter what, Chen Xuanfeng was at an advantage. Thus, he replied, "Very well, we also hope to avoid injuring the forbidden spell casters who serve as the shield of humanity. We will follow your proposal."

"Good!" The two grand spellcasters agreed and stepped forward together. The magic robes on their bodies lit up, and the arrays embroidered on them activated, providing countless protective and enhancing effects. The disciples of the "Red Demon" behind them retreated to the edge of the hall.

Although Chen Xuanfeng didn't know what tricks the two grand spellcasters had up their sleeves, he keenly sensed that while they were still angry, their killing intent had mostly dissipated. Thus, he wasn't worried. Drawing his "Emperor Hate Blade" and "Star Catastrophe Sword," he charged at the two. Jin Luosha quickly waved her hand, casting a series of holy blessings on Chen Xuanfeng.

The two grand spellcasters immediately raised energy shields to block Chen Xuanfeng's advance, simultaneously launching countless searing rays and lightning attacks, but they still couldn't stop him. However, just as Chen Xuanfeng reached the center of the hall, the two suddenly changed their tactics.

"Artifact activation, Forbidden Magic Domain————" A red sphere rose from the hands of the flame grand spellcaster and resonated with the arrays engraved on the floor and ceiling of the hall, forming a light red space.

"Artifact activation, Energy Sealing Domain————" A blue ring levitated from the hands of the wind grand spellcaster, also using the central magic array of the hall to create a field that covered the central area of the hall.

When the two domains overlapped, a light purple field enveloped half of the hall, covering Chen Xuanfeng and the two grand spellcasters, while Jin Luosha and Li Jia were at the edge of the field.

"Huh? What is this?" The moment the purple field formed, Chen Xuanfeng retreated. As soon as he moved, he stumbled. The holy blessings on him vanished, and his Nine Yin Inner Energy and two powerful battle auras disappeared, leaving him shocked. Fortunately, his strong willpower prevented him from panicking. He knew it must be the effect of the field and didn't overthink. Relying on his physical strength, he retreated with a few quick jumps and easily exited the field. His guess was correct, and once he left the field, his battle aura and inner energy returned to normal without any loss. Even so, the psychological impact of that momentary change left Chen Xuanfeng looking somewhat pale.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Jin Luosha, who hadn't entered the purple field, was unaware of what Chen Xuanfeng had just experienced and hurriedly asked, holding his hand.

"Ha ha ha ha, kid, how is it? Were you scared to death?" Before Chen Xuanfeng could reply, the flame grand spellcaster laughed heartily.

At that moment, the artificial being Li Jia came to Chen Xuanfeng's side and said, "Master, that is a composite field created using the legendary treasures 'Magic Suppressing Orb' and 'Energy Sealing Ring.' The 'Magic Suppressing Orb' can dispel all magic and supernatural forces, while the 'Energy Sealing Ring' can block all battle aura and similar energy forces. There have been attempts to combine the two to create a field that can block both magic and battle auras, but it seems that the two here are the only successful ones."

Since Li Jia didn't use any secret methods to conceal her voice this time, the two inside the field heard her. "Wind Journey Mage" Youdila sighed and said, "I truly didn't expect that the one to recognize our new achievement would be such a young girl. Although you are a maid, I must praise your extensive knowledge."

It was the first time Jin Luosha had heard of such a thing, and she casually cast a few small spells and two battle auras. As expected, as soon as they entered the field, they vanished without a trace.

"So that's how it is. As long as you enter this field, magic is dispersed, and battle auras can't be used. But once you leave the field, there's no problem." Chen Xuanfeng nodded, realizing the truth. His Nine Yin Inner Energy, though not a battle aura, was still condensed from an innate primordial energy, so it was essentially the same and thus also suppressed.

"The 'Red Demon' said smugly, "How about that? Pretty amazing, right? We spent a lot of effort to perfectly combine these two fields."

Chen Xuanfeng asked with a frown, "Hmph, old man, don't congratulate yourselves just yet. You don't really think you can rely on this useless array as a key to victory, do you? While this thing is certainly frightening, don't forget that you can't use magic inside it either. Even without battle aura, I'm still a warrior. With just the strength of my body, I can easily defeat the two of you. Or do you have special research into combat skills?"

"Wind Journey Mage" shook his head and replied, "Unfortunately, we have no research in combat. However, you should understand that we two grand spellcasters aren't so foolish as to overlook such an obvious problem. If I told you that within this field, we can still cast high-level magic, would you believe me?"

Chen Xuanfeng laughed and said, "If you really had such an ability, wouldn't this field be an invincible fortress that's both offensive and defensive? Then why didn't you use it to deal with us earlier?"

"Wind Journey Mage" shook his head and said, "We wanted to, but as you can see, this field has no restrictions on entry and exit. It can only be activated within the magic array of this hall and can only move within this hall. In other words, as long as you stay outside, we can't do anything to you. While the magic power required to maintain this field isn't high, it's not unlimited. So, if you're patient enough to ambush us from outside, our chances of survival would be very slim. Of course, we'd take you down with us. But now, with the duel wager, as long as you don't leave the hall, we have a good chance of winning since we can move this field."
