With sharp eyes, Jin Changyu caught the first sight of Chu Bai standing on the stone beam in this dim and desperate situation. The voice was as shrill as a drowning man catching driftwood.
Chu Bai did not respond immediately. He looked past the four people and towards the billowing smoke behind them.
Although Superintendent Su strictly prohibited cooperation, Chu Bai was keenly aware at this time that Mind-Link Mark in the sea of consciousness did not give a violation warning because of the approach of these people, but showed no reaction at all.
This sense of dissonance made Chu Bai's uneasiness reach its peak.
"What's going on?"
The other party called out in an urgent tone, probably not to deceive him, but the specific situation was not clear yet.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
In the billowing smoke, a dark shadow formed on the side of the last student without any warning.
That's Shadow Beast's magic method - Shadowfire Burial.
A pillar of black fire composed of pure Killing Intent, like a poisonous python protruding from the abyss, instantly engulfed the lagging student.
Ah--!
The screams instantly tore through the dull air.
Chu Bai's pupils shrank suddenly, and he watched helplessly as the student struggled wildly in the sea of fire.
The opponent's protection was broken almost as soon as he was hit, and his spiritual power was exhausted, making it difficult to stop him.
However, the teleporting white light that was supposed to arrive at that moment never appeared.
In the sea of blazing gray fire, the student let out a shrill wail that lasted for more than ten breaths.
His body-protecting spiritual power quickly melted under the erosion of the fire poison, and the sound of his skin and flesh drying up and his bones shattering was particularly clear in the dead silence.
In just tens of seconds, a living person was burned into a pile of embers that drifted in the wind.
Nothing is transmitted.
There is no rescue.
"How is it possible..."
Chu Bai felt a bone-chilling chill rush straight from his tailbone to his forehead.
The teleportation array here has failed!
If he is defeated by Shadow Beast, he will really die here!
"Brother Chu! Help us!" Jin Changyu had already rushed to the foot of the stone beam. His face was pale, and he was obviously frightened by the scene behind him.
Behind him, the Shadow Beast that killed people did not stop. It was wrapped in dead gray flames, split into two in the void, turned into two terrifying afterimages, and suddenly grabbed Jin Changyu's back.
Chu Bai showed an absolute calmness far beyond ordinary people at this moment.
His brain completed all the pros and cons calculations in that second: The failure of the transmission meant that Superintendent Su or Law Net was in big trouble. The success rate of escaping alone was less than 40% when facing Qi Refining Third Layer Shadow Beast. Only by combining these remaining combat forces could there be a chance of survival!
"Guard the Origin, open!"
Chu Bai stepped down and his whole body swooped down like an eagle.
He held it in his left hand, and [Origin Guard Shield], which was so solid that it almost had the texture of Mystic Ice, instantly opened up behind Jin Changyu.
"Bang--!"
Shadow Beast's claw strike hit the shield surface, causing circles of ice-blue ripples. Chu Bai's figure swayed slightly under the shock of the huge force, but his right index finger had pointed accurately into the depths of the gray mist.
Three water needles made of blue crystals shot out in glyphs with ear-piercing whistling sounds.
Shadow Beast was about to continue pursuing the pursuit, but his arms were forcibly shattered by these three water needles with terrifying penetrating power. He let out a harsh chirp and retreated temporarily into the smoke.
"No need to talk nonsense, watch your back!"
Chu Bai landed firmly on the ground. At this time, Jin Changyu, Dong Feng, and Lin Xuewei had gathered around.
Everyone's face was filled with the fear of impending disaster. Dong Feng looked at the classmates who had turned into ashes, and his voice trembled terribly. "Just now... was that true just now? How could Teleportation Formation fail? This is an accident! Dao Academy could make such a mistake!"
"Shut up!"
Chu Bai shouted coldly, and Qi Refining Second Layer's coercion mixed with [Seven Killings in the Fate Palace]'s Killing Intent, suppressing Dong Feng's loss of control.
"It doesn't matter whether it was a murder or an accident. The mark has expired, and this place is now a place of death. If you want to survive, I will swallow all your arrogance and rankings!"
Chu Bai's cold eyes swept over the three of them.
Lin Xuewei Although her face was covered in cold sweat, she was still calm. She nodded, and the cold air in her hands condensed again.
Jin Changyu gripped the halberd tightly, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
Only Dong Feng gradually regained his consciousness after a brief period of fear. He gritted his teeth and looked at Chu Bai.
"Chu Bai, tell me, how to fight?"
Chu Bai looked at the three huge shadows in front of them that were slowly walking out of the gray fog side by side, and said solemnly, "Qi Refining Third Layer on one end, Qi Refining Second Layer on the other. They are trying to push us to death."
His Spirit Water Needle jumped at his fingertips again. At this time, he had become the commander of this temporary team.
The gray fog was heavy, and the three heads of Shadow Beast stood side by side. The sense of oppression made the air around them thicken.
Chu Bai stood at the front, his blue shirt originally rustling in the wind. He did not look back, but Divine Sense had already thoroughly scanned the status of the three people behind him.
"Lin Xuewei, how much spiritual power is left in your body?"
Lin Xuewei shook his head bitterly, with an imperceptible tremor in his voice. "Less than 30%. In order to escape from the claws of that Qi Refining Third Layer's Shadow Beast just now, I used a secret method passed down from my family, and now my meridians are still aching."
"Where is Dong Feng?"
Dong Feng's hand holding the red sword was trembling slightly. He glanced at the dull Golden Scale Armor on his chest, gritted his teeth and said, "The spiritual power has dried up. Qi-Replenishing Pill I just swallowed three pills. Now the fire poison is running around in the body. Forcibly casting the spell will explode the meridians."
Finally, Chu Bai looked at Jin Changyu. Although the chief of the case Class Nine looked embarrassed, his breathing was much more steady than that of the other two.
"Jin Changyu, you should still have reservations, right?"
Jin Changyu tightened the halberd in his hand and nodded with some shame: "My major is "Azure Cloud Steps", and I have been focusing on avoidance just now. I still have 60% of my spiritual power, but my halberd technique needs to be charged. If I can challenge Qi Refining Second Layer's Shadow Beast head-on, I can only fight, but it is difficult to kill him."
Chu Bai After listening, I felt confident.
Currently, he is the only one with the most complete combat power.
Since he was in perfect condition before, his spiritual power was still at over 90% of its peak state at this time.
"Since you have no energy left, just listen to me."
Although Chu Bai's voice was calm, it revealed an unquestionable determination.
"Dong Feng, Lin Xuewei, the two of you immediately retreat behind the boulder and Breath Regulation make corrections to ensure that your combat strength is restored as soon as possible."
Dong Feng originally wanted to refute subconsciously, but when he saw Chu Bai's blood-filled eyes Killing Intent, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
"Jin Changyu, you are in charge of the flank."
Chu Bai pointed at Qi Refining Second Layer's Shadow Beast on the left, "Your task is not to kill it, but to use your body skills and the length of the halberd to contain it ten feet away. If it dares to attack the formation, use your halberd to push it away. Don't fight forcefully."
"What about you?" Jin Changyu asked tremblingly.
"The one in the middle is Qi Refining Third Layer, and the one on the right is Qi Refining Second Layer. I'll pick them up."
As soon as these words came out, all three of them took a breath of air.
One versus two? One of them is a Qi Refining Third Layer monster that can instantly kill the newborn?
To them, this is simply courting death.
"Chu Bai, you're crazy! That's Qi Refining Third Layer. Even in my heyday, I might not be able to take the next move!" Lin Xuewei exclaimed.
"No time for nonsense, they are moving!"
As soon as Chu Bai finished speaking, the three-foot-tall Shadow Beast leader in the middle let out a spirit-shattering roar, and the Killing Intent hammer in his hand suddenly hit the ground.
Rumble--
A black crack spread crazily along the ground.
At this critical moment, Dong Feng suddenly made an action that surprised everyone.
He suddenly tore open his clothes and buttoned the dim Golden Scale Armor with his hands.
"Chu Bai, continue!"
Dong Feng roared and threw the bloody armor towards Chu Bai.
Chu Bai raised his hand to take it, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"This armor still has three points of power, enough to block a blow."
Dong Feng's face turned pale because he lost the protection of the treasure armor, but he stared at Chu Bai, "Jin Changyu can run fast, he doesn't need it. I don't have much spiritual power left now, so holding it is a waste."
"Since this is a matter of life and death, the fight between you and me is not here."
Chu Bai looked at Golden Scale Armor in his hand and said nothing.
Then, he quickly put Golden Scale Armor on his body, and his spiritual power was slightly stimulated. Under the infusion of Guiyuan's spiritual power, the originally dim light golden light pattern burst out with a light that was more restrained and deeper than that on Dong Feng.
"I'll give you a quarter of an hour to recover. After a quarter of an hour, follow me to fight."
