"The most important thing in life is knowing when to stop!"
As Huo Yuhao finished speaking, a clear phoenix cry rang out from not far away.
A massive fireball hurtled straight toward Long Xiaoyao, and the intense flames suddenly exploded.
Long Xiaoyao was instantly engulfed in flames; the firepower was truly formidable.
Ma Xiaotao slowly descended from the sky and landed next to Yan Shaozhe, quickly checking on Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er's injuries.
Huo Yuhao originally wanted to take action, but upon seeing the arrival of Shrek Academy members, he temporarily sheathed his sword.
Dai Yueheng immediately looked warily at the distant firelight and the Shadow not far away, his heart filled with strong vigilance.
At this moment, the Shrek team, who had been buried under rocks, finally arrived at the scene. Zhou Yi kept observing everything around her, feeling nervous.
Where is Huo Yuhao?
Only then did she notice the Shadow in the distance, and in a daze, she actually felt that the figure really looked like Huo Yuhao.
However, the aura emanating from her body was far beyond what Huo Yuhao could compare to, and she immediately dismissed that absurd thought.
"Cough cough!"
Yan Shaozhe coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood. With Gongyang Mo's help, he sat up straight.
Yan Shaozhe immediately made a decision. He could no longer stay here; leaving now was the best option.
With his last breath, Yan Shaozhe shouted, " Xiaotao, take everyone and leave immediately!"
Zhou Yi immediately understood that Yan Shaozhe wanted to abandon Huo Yuhao, sacrificing Huo Yuhao to save the others.
However, Huo Yuhao's image immediately appeared in her mind.
" Teacher Zhou, this is for you..."
The boy handed over a clean handkerchief, which carried his unique fragrance.
" Teacher Zhou, cheer up."
The boy, embarrassed and shy, said, " Teacher Zhou, you're not joking with me, are you...?"
Memories of the past kept resurfacing, leaving Zhou Yi stunned and speechless for Jiujiu.
Turning her head, she saw Zhou Yi with glistening tears in the corners of her eyes. Just as Dai Yueheng began to organize everyone to leave, she interrupted him with a hoarse voice.
"No! Dean Yan, Huo Yuhao hasn't been found yet, we can't just leave like this!"
Yan Shaozhe coughed up another mouthful of blood, his eyes resolute and unwavering, "Evacuate immediately! No..." Before he could finish speaking, Yan Shaozhe completely lost consciousness.
"No, we absolutely have to find Yuhao. We can't leave him here."
Zhou Yi muttered to herself, disregarding the surrounding risks, and ran towards the cave ruins.
Dai Yueheng gritted his teeth, steeled his resolve, and delivered a swift chop to the ground, saying, "I apologize for offending Teacher Zhou!"
The sudden blow caused Zhou Yi to lose consciousness, though tears continued to stream from the corners of her eyes.
Without hesitation, Dai Yueheng immediately handed Zhou Yi to Jiang Nannan beside him, saying, "Thank you for your help."
Jiang Nannan nodded and carefully supported Zhou Yi's body.
Ma Xiaotao remained silent, her eyes fixed on the ever-burning Phoenix Flame.
The intense heat of the flames melted the surrounding soil and rocks, turning them into magma that continued to spread outwards. No living thing could survive in such extreme heat.
Dai Yueheng stepped forward, lowered his voice, and said, "Captain, let's leave here first."
After speaking, Dai Yueheng cautiously glanced at the Shadow not far away.
Even though Huo Yuhao was just standing there, the aura he exuded still made Huo Yuhao's body tremble slightly.
Suddenly, space distorted slightly.
Ma Xiaotao struck him with her palm, the immense force sending him staggering back two meters.
Dai Yueheng looked at Ma Xiaotao with a puzzled expression, only to see a deep, bottomless claw mark that had appeared where he had just been.
"What's this?"
Dai Yueheng's eyes widened.
Ma Xiaotao frowned, her brows furrowed with anxiety, and immediately shouted to the people behind her, "Everyone, leave immediately!"
Ma Xiaotao was very annoyed. If Dai Yueheng and the others hadn't been there, she wouldn't have had to stand there so suffocatingly.
If she weren't afraid of revealing her identity, she probably would have been the first to rush forward.
Dai Yueheng dared not ask any more questions at this moment, knowing without a doubt that the attack just now came from the flames.
Feeling fortunate that Ma Xiaotao had saved him, he didn't hesitate and led everyone away.
Then, another person stepped forward from the group and walked straight to Ma Xiaotao's side.
Then countless Blue Silver Grass grew, forming a solid wall five meters high and tens of meters long, blocking him and the Shrek Devils.
Tang Ya stared coldly at the unconscious Bei Bei in the distance, her fists clenched, thinking to herself, "It must be Bei Bei who did this, otherwise how could all this have happened and disturbed my life with Lord Shadow?"
From behind the wall, Dai Yueheng shouted, "Junior Tang Ya, don't be impulsive, come with us and leave!"
Dai Yueheng was also somewhat anxious. If it was just Ma Xiaotao staying behind to cover their retreat, he was at least confident that Ma Xiaotao could definitely cover their escape and get away unscathed.
But if Tang Ya were to join in this fun, things might be different, since her cultivation level is a full thirty levels lower than Ma Xiaotao's!
This might even hold Ma Xiaotiao back.
Ma Xiaotao glanced at Tang Ya beside her. Black liquid continuously flowed from her body, slowly covering her and finally transforming into a long robe that enveloped her.
" Dai Yueheng, leave immediately and ensure the safety of everyone else."
Upon hearing Ma Xiaotao's words, Dai Yueheng gritted his teeth and slammed his right hand hard on the Blue Silver Grass in front of him. He had no choice but to leave quickly with everyone else, following Yan Shaozhe.
Tang Ya sensed the departure of the people behind her, and her black robe, unique to the Shadow Garden, instantly covered her, with a wave of her right hand.
The Fourth Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up instantly, and following the direction his right hand pointed, a dazzling cold current blew towards Long Xiaoyao, who was enveloped in flames.
The collision of ice crystals and flames caused an instant explosion of energy, and countless icy blue transparent Blue Silver Grass, like icicles, rose from the ground one by one in an instant.
The sharp spikes, carrying a pale purple, chilling poison, instantly pierced the entire area engulfed in flames.
Multiple ten-meter-long ice cones of Blue Silver Grass shot straight into the sky, completely enveloping Long Xiaoyao's location.
"Burst!"
Tang Ya snorted coldly and clenched her right hand abruptly.
Ice crystal branches instantly sprouted from the originally straight and upright Blue Silver Grass, shimmering under the flames.
In the next instant, the branches grew vigorously, greedily absorbing the primal energy of the surrounding world, and flames continuously drilled into them along the patterns on the Blue Silver Grass.
Flames and Blue Silver Grass merged and suddenly exploded!
Between the fusion of ice and fire, a giant flower of ice crystal flames was born, sealing Long Xiaoyao's body within it.
Huo Yuhao gazed at the dazzling ice and fire flower, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.
With the fusion of Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao's two powerful Soul Skill, the Ice Crystal Spark produced a unique chemical reaction.
It generated an incredibly powerful sealing ability, and even Long Xiaoyao, who was Limit Douluo, was rendered powerless at this moment.
