Shrek City, Shrek Academy.
Although the crisis in Shrek City had been alleviated due to the arrival of Ya Li and the others, the crisis inside Shrek Academy had not yet been resolved.
Especially since the Abyssal Passage was right inside Shrek Academy, they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
At this moment, because Xuan Zi directly ran off to chase a Four-Clawed Bat with the strength of a Five-Ring Soul King, everyone in Shrek Academy was facing immense danger.
"Ah!"
Another miserable scream exploded across the battlefield.
Elder Song abruptly turned her head and saw that another elder of the Sea God Pavilion had their body pierced by the scythe forelimb of an Abyssal Evil Scythe.
Fresh blood gushed out, splashing all over the ground. That elder's body collapsed limply, losing all signs of life.
Another elder of the Sea God Pavilion had died! You must know that every single elder of the Sea God Pavilion was a top-tier combat force of Shrek Academy!
Elder Song's eyes instantly turned blood-red, and she spoke through gritted teeth, her tone full of hatred.
"Xuan Zi!"
Not far away, Xian Liner was locked in fierce combat with an Abyssal Evil Scythe. Her body was covered in wounds, blood had stained her clothes, and she was breathing heavily with ragged gasps.
There was another terrible thing right now: her stamina was almost reaching its limit.
That Abyssal Evil Scythe seemed to sense her weakness, fiercely swinging its scythe forelimb to slash heavily at her neck!
Xian Liner's pupils violently constricted, and she wanted to dodge, but her body was no longer listening to her commands.
At this critical moment, a figure fiercely rushed over!
Qian Duoduo raised the Black Dragon Shield in his hand to block in front of Xian Liner!
Clang——!
The huge impact made Qian Duoduo's arms go numb, and his body was forced back several steps. Stumbling underfoot, he almost fell, but he still gritted his teeth, holding the shield tightly in front of Xian Liner.
"Duoduo..."
Xian Liner was stunned. Looking at Qian Duoduo's flushed face, her eye sockets turned slightly red.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Qian Duoduo gave a low roar, his voice filled with exhaustion.
"Retreat quickly!"
Seeing this scene, Elder Song could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
Her daughter had almost lost her life, and the hatred in her heart toward Xuan Zi grew even more.
If that old bastard hadn't run away, the situation of Shrek Academy right now definitely wouldn't be this terrible!
Elder Song took a deep breath and looked toward the direction outside Shrek Academy, where a certain area had been purified.
Those black mists and Four-Clawed Bats had actually all been completely dissipated.
Had someone come to help?
A surge of hope welled up in Elder Song's heart. Now they just needed to hold on a little longer; once those people arrived, there would be hope.
At this moment, Elder Song's face was full of exhaustion, and her eyes were filled with powerlessness. Having been a lofty elder of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy for so many years, apart from Elder Mu's death, this was the first time she had encountered such a powerless matter.
On the other side, Yan Shaozhe was locked in fierce combat with an Abyssal Evil Scythe. His body was covered in scars. Even though his Bright Phoenix Spirit had a suppressive effect on Abyssal Creatures, Yan Shaozhe's Spirit Power Rank was still too weak.
Especially in his earlier years, because of matters concerning romance, he had slacked off on Cultivate, and now his Spirit Power was almost completely exhausted.
Yan Shaozhe knew he had to hold on; otherwise, he would definitely die. But his gradually heavy body told him that he couldn't hold on for much longer.
Just at this moment, a miserable scream suddenly came from behind him!
Yan Shaozhe abruptly turned his head and saw a fiery red figure whose body was burning with a violent Evil Fire. That flame carried a somewhat dark black-red hue.
At this moment, Ma Xiaotao's face was filled with a painful expression. In front of her was an Abyssal Creature; its entire body was pitch black with two hands, and those two hands were exuding rich dark energy.
Because of the invasion of this dark energy, the Evil Fire that had always been suppressed in Ma Xiaotao could no longer be held back at this moment.
The violent Evil Fire gushed out from Ma Xiaotao's body, spreading in all directions. Ma Xiaotao transformed into a moving flame and rushed forward!
Dai Huabin hadn't had time to evacuate yet. Standing not far away, he watched Ma Xiaotao flying toward him and was directly dumbfounded. Did she even attack her own people?
He had just lost an arm, plus the remaining stamina inside his body wasn't much; wanting to escape right now could be said to be almost impossible.
"White Tiger Barrier!"
Dai Huabin used all his strength to release his defensive Spirit Ability.
But the next instant, Ma Xiaotao's body fiercely slammed into him!
The violent Evil Fire instantly swallowed Dai Huabin's body, and the White Tiger Barrier shattered directly almost the moment the Evil Fire touched it.
Wrapped in flames, Dai Huabin let out a miserable scream, and the bleeding wounds on his body were instantly dried up and cauterized by the flames.
His entire person was burned pitch black, and he rolled around on the ground, letting out one painful wail after another.
Standing to the side and watching this scene, Zhu Lu was also scared stupid, completely not knowing what to do next.
Ma Xiaotao did not stop; her body continued to rush forward. Wherever she passed, whether it was Abyssal Creatures or students of Shrek Academy, all of them were swallowed by that violent Evil Fire!
Watching this scene, Yan Shaozhe's expression instantly turned pale.
It could be said to be quite terrible now. Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire had erupted and killed quite a few students, and it was right under everyone's noses; it couldn't be suppressed as before. If this matter here was resolved, the punishment for Ma Xiaotao would definitely not be handled lightly, even though Ma Xiaotao also had merits in this confrontation.
Unless... all responsibility could be pushed onto the Abyssal Creatures.
Just as Yan Shaozhe was thinking about how to solve the trouble, a sacred halo enveloped the entire plaza.
After those weaker Four-Clawed Bats were enveloped by the halo, they instantly let out miserable screeches, then turned into gray airflow and dissipated!
The black mist was also directly driven away by that sacred light, and everyone's gazes now fell upon the several figures in the air.
Those Abyssal Evil Scythes sensed the threat and raised their heads one after another to let out low roars.
Zang Xin's figure flashed in the air, the sword of many emotions was unsheathed, and a fierce sword light slashed out, directly piercing the body of an Abyssal Evil Scythe!
That Abyssal Evil Scythe's body suddenly stiffened, split into two halves, and turned into gray airflow to dissipate.
Lan Muzi used his Yang Wood Saber to slash down with a single strike, and another Abyssal Evil Scythe was cut in half.
Da Ming and Tai Tan each found an Abyssal Evil Scythe to fight. Although these Abyssal Evil Scythes possessed decent strength, and Ya Li's suppression on them was also limited, Da Ming and Tai Tan's strengths were not weak either; dealing with one each was more than enough.
Very quickly, those Abyssal Evil Scythes that left everyone in Shrek Academy helpless were all killed!
Elder Song's gaze fell upon Zang Xin. She still recognized this person, and she hadn't expected that their Shrek Academy would actually be saved by people from another Shrek Academy.
Furthermore, not long ago, they had clearly had conflicts. However... Elder Song thought about it again and realized it made sense: across the entire Douluo Continent, the only ones capable of having such strength were probably the people from that Shrek Academy in the air, right?
"Great, we're saved!"
The surviving students of Shrek Academy now expressed their gratitude to Ya Li and the others one after another.
At this time, Elder Song also turned around to face the few of them, intending to speak words of gratitude, when she saw a figure flying back—it was precisely Xuan Zi.
