(Xuan Kai's Perspective)
Xuan Kun and I stared at each other, each harboring hostile feelings towards the other. However, neither of us made a move. As the other fights took place around us, we simply looked at each other in disdain. Soon enough, Xuan Kun couldn't take it anymore and began his attack.
"Maledictum - Segnis! Infirmis! Enervis!" he chanted, launching a barrage of deep violet orbs of Curse energy at me. This spell was already designed to be used in rapid succession, and along with Xuan Kun upgrading it to Tier II he is able to cast it even faster.
Had this been a fight without anyone watching, I would've simply sucked up his Curse Magic and converted it into mana for myself. However, Liu Jian was somewhere in the crowds, and I couldn't afford to show him this ability of mine. Therefore, I instead put up a large wall of black flames.
