Chapter 21: The Situation Reverses, a Life-or-Death Crisis
"boom!"
The two sides collided instantly.
The giant dragon that Song Wanning had transformed into hovered in mid-air, constantly slaying the surrounding demonic beasts. Each time its dragon claws fell, it would take the life of a demonic beast.
At the same time, the surrounding examinees also displayed their skills. In an instant, wind, fire, thunder, and lightning raged, and various lights flashed, creating a dazzling spectacle.
Shouts of battle and roars rose and fell, echoing throughout the sky.
A gigantic demonic beast suddenly charged out from the horde, opened its blood-red maw, and spewed out a stream of black flames that swept straight toward Song Wanning.
Song Wanning nimbly dodged the flames, then swung her sharp dragon claws, viciously grabbing at the monster's belly.
The beast, in pain, let out a roar and its massive body suddenly turned around, lunging fiercely at Song Wanning.
Just then, a transparent barrier suddenly appeared in front of Song Wanning, blocking the monster's attack.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Wanning launched another attack. Her dragon claws struck the monster's head with lightning speed, ultimately killing it.
On the battlefield, smoke filled the air, and shouts of battle and furious cries echoed through the sky.
Ye Chuxue stood quietly at the rear of the battlefield, watching the fierce battle ahead with a solemn expression.
A jade disc slowly emerged behind her, emitting a pale white light, like a bright moon hanging in the sky.
The light shone on her, making her look even more sacred and solemn.
Meanwhile, other support-type candidates also stood at the rear, giving their all to provide various buffs and support to the frontline combatants.
Some unleash powerful healing abilities to restore the wounded warriors' health; others inspire the warriors' potential and enhance their combat capabilities; still others use various skills to weaken the enemy's strength.
With everyone's tacit cooperation, the battle gradually stabilized and even showed signs of reversal.
However, at that moment, the moon in the sky suddenly changed. The originally pure white moon instantly turned blood red, emitting an eerie light.
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone.
As the moon's color changed, all the magical beasts' eyes turned blood red, and their bodies emitted a faint blood-red glow.
The entire battlefield was shrouded in an eerie atmosphere, as if foreshadowing a terrible disaster about to befall it.
Song Wanning's heart tightened, a sense of foreboding washing over her. Her eyes widened as she stared at everything before her, muttering to herself, "What on earth is going on?"
"Is something about to happen? Everyone be careful!" Song Wanning shouted a warning.
Her voice was filled with anxiety and worry, clearly indicating that she was very uneasy about the situation.
As soon as she finished speaking, the ground began to shake violently, and countless huge cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.
Immediately afterwards, even more monsters crawled out of the crack, their sheer number astonishing.
These monsters were even more ferocious and brutal than before. They roared and charged at the group, instantly shattering the situation that had just stabilized.
The group that had initially held the upper hand was suddenly put on the defensive. Faced with the surging waves of magical beasts, they had no choice but to once again engage in a tense battle.
In the sky, countless flying magical beasts appeared, screaming as they rushed towards the group like a black cloud.
Song Wanning was the first to react. Her expression changed, and she cursed inwardly, "These damned beasts!"
Immediately afterwards, she opened her palm and waved it into the air. A flash of light appeared, and a long spear appeared in her hand.
This spear is over two meters long, its entire body shimmering with pale purple and pale blue light, the colors intertwined like a dream, giving it a mysterious yet majestic feel.
The gun barrel was straight and long, as if it were made from a single piece of mysterious metal, with a smooth, mirror-like surface that reflected the surrounding light.
At the tip of the spear is a lifelike dragon head, baring its fangs and claws, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.
The dragon's eyes gleamed with a red light, as if gazing at the surrounding enemies. This was Song Wanning's weapon—the Purple-Blue Divine Halberd.
This gun was crafted from rare treasures from a secret realm; it is not only magnificent in appearance but also incredibly powerful.
Its shaft is incredibly hard, easily piercing through the enemy's defenses; its tip is incredibly sharp, easily tearing the enemy's body apart.
Furthermore, this gun possesses immense power, capable of unleashing a variety of amazing skills.
Song Wanning gripped the purple-blue divine halberd tightly, her eyes revealing a hint of determination.
As the spear continued to swing, one magical beast after another fell from the sky. However, there were simply too many magical beasts, and no matter how strong Song Wanning was, she could not completely stop their advance.
Just then, an enormous magical beast appeared before everyone. This beast was tens of meters long, with a huge body covered with thick scales, and exuded a powerful and terrifying aura.
Its wingspan is a hundred meters, and each flap of its wings causes a gust of wind that sends chills down your spine.
Faced with this powerful demonic beast, Song Wanning did not back down. Instead, she unhesitatingly wielded the purple-blue divine halberd in her hand and fiercely thrust it towards the demonic beast.
However, this magical beast had amazing defense; the attack from the Purple-Blue Divine Halberd only left a few shallow marks on its scales.
After sensing the threat posed by Song Wanning, the monster quickly turned around and lashed out at her with its thick, powerful tail.
Seeing this, Song Wanning hurriedly held her spear to her chest, while Ye Chuxue also cast a shield in front of Song Wanning, trying to block the monster's attack.
The monster's massive tail slammed into the spear and shield like an iron rod, the immense force sending Song Wanning flying backward instantly.
With a loud bang, Song Wanning was knocked to the ground.
"Pfft!" Song Wanning spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if her body was about to fall apart.
However, she endured the pain and struggled to her feet.
Ye Chuxue quickly ran over to support her and asked with concern, "Miss, are you alright?"
Song Wanning said with a solemn expression, "This magical beast is at least at the proficient level."
At this moment, the monster launched another attack, opening its blood-red maw and lunging at Song Wanning.
Upon seeing this, Song Wanning's expression changed drastically. Knowing the powerful strength of the demonic beast before her, she quickly cast a spell, and a blue shield instantly appeared in front of her.
At the same time, Ye Chuxue was not idle either; she also cast a shield to protect herself tightly.
The monster lunged at the shield like a cannonball, the immense impact causing the shield to shake violently, as if it might shatter at any moment.
Song Wanning and Ye Chuxue gritted their teeth and did their best to resist the attacks of the monsters, but as time went by, their strength gradually gave out and the luster of their shields gradually dimmed.
"Crack—!" Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out, and a small crack appeared on the shield, just like a crack on porcelain, which was shocking to behold.
"Bang—!" Immediately afterward, as the shield shattered, a powerful shockwave erupted, violently sending Song Wanning and Ye Chuxue flying.
The two fell heavily to the ground, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of their mouths.
Ye Chuxue struggled to her feet. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, looked around, and found that the other candidates were not faring much better.
They were either lying on the ground severely injured or still struggling against the monsters; the scene was chaotic.
At this moment, Xue Shaming's mocking voice rang out again: "What, you ants, have you finally realized your insignificance?" His laughter echoed in the air, carrying an arrogant and domineering tone.
"Kneel down before the power of the Evil Fiend Cult! If you obey me, I can grant you eternal life. Hahahaha..." Blood Fiend's laughter grew increasingly arrogant, instilling fear in everyone.
Looking at the scene around her, Ye Chuxue felt a deep sense of despair. She felt herself growing colder, yet her body was burning hotter, as if something was about to burst forth.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain and couldn't help but scream, "Ah—!"
