Roar!

A loud roar could be heard coming from the corner of another wall. It was filled with extreme exasperation, and it was definitely hair-raising.

Jiang Xiao’s pupils constricted, and he tried to locate the target.

He finally found it!

He drew out his giant sword and urged the Shield Warriors in front to move faster. He couldn’t wait to give the Ancient Warriors and Archers a good melee practical class!

“Hey!” The Shield Warrior from Cainan Province once again used the Flower Shield to intercept the poisonous arrow. Zhang Qinzhou carefully protected the two Medical Awakened while reporting the situation, feeling emotionally pressured.

Fortunately, the Medical Awakened of his team was behaving well and hiding behind him, unlike Jiang Xiao, the Medical Awakened from Beijiang Province, who was extremely frivolous.

You’re a Medical Awakened, but you’re urging us, the Shield Warriors, to move quickly? Do you want to join the battle and slash some people?

Zhang Qinzhou thought that the giant sword behind Jiang Xiao was just for decoration, but it now seemed that the little toxic healer could really carry it.

Are you a proper healer or not?

Okay.

You’re a Medical Awakened, but as for whether you’re decent or not... we’ll talk about it another time.

Boom!

All of a sudden, a strange sound interrupted Jiang Xiao’s lecture.

The sound was from the Arrows Of Plague. They actually didn’t get absorbed by the Rose Shield of the Cainan Province Shield Warrior?

They ended up exploding!

What’s going on?

The Ancient Warriors with the poisonous bows stopped pulling their bows and launching arrows at the enemies. Instead, they shot them upwards at a special angle.

Two poisonous arrows penetrated deeply into the stone roof before bursting.

The dark-green poisonous mist spread open and caused everyone to hold their breaths hurriedly. However, it seemed that there wasn’t a need to breath in the poisonous mist. It could affect the minds of people so long as their skin came into contact with it.

Seeing that the tactic had worked, the Ancient Archers shot consecutive poisonous arrows one after another, spreading poisonous fog across the entire corridor.

The team slowed down all of a sudden, and even Jiang Xiao felt a little dizzy...

While in a daze, Jiang Xiao’s body trembled a little, and he gripped the sword tightly while pressing it against the ground to keep himself balanced.

Damn it, don’t do this to me.

I’ve already blown my trumpet.

I’ve already sung the lyrics, and yet, you archers suddenly launched poisonous arrows?

Are you bent on going against me?

I need to save myself from the embarrassment.

Under the poisonous fog, Cai Yao threw out a shot of Sound of Silence with all her might and made the two Ancient Archers with poisonous arrows fall silent.

However, they were in a scattered formation and also had their own means to defend against the students.

Jiang Xiao couldn’t care much. While the poisonous fog had yet to take its toll on him and cause him to fall into a coma, he threw out another shot of Sound of Silence while in a daze, and his target was still the Soul Of The Ancient Warrior.

The Soul Of The Ancient Warrior was the main root of the problem. As long as it was controlled, Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan would be able to rush over and quickly deal with it.

Although Blessing cannot shatter its frozen body or extinguish the flames on it, it should be able to get rid of the poison that emanates from the inside out, right?

Jiang Xiao cast a shot of Blessing on his body and gritted his teeth before humphing.

He felt that healing himself was absolutely cool.

“Don’t panic!” the Shield Warrior from Cainan Province yelled.

The roses on his left hand fell quickly, causing the delicate petals to fall onto the ground. They quickly withered and seemed to wake up from a dream.

No!

It hadn’t woken up yet!

Next, a more beautiful dream came.

A white flower bloomed on the left arm of the Cainan Province Shield Warrior, followed by the second and third one...

It was a sacred shade of white. A pure lily!

The faint fragrance of flowers spread towards the surroundings, making them feel refreshed.

All the dizzy and nauseated contestants by the poisonous fog were quickly healed after they smelled the fragrance of flowers.

Jiang Xiao shook his head violently and soon regained his vision. He was unsure if it were the effects of his Blessing or the alluring scent of the flowers.

However, everyone in the surrounding looked like they had been healed. Jiang Xiao understood that the scent of lilies was really amazing.

The Shield Warrior from Cainan Province was thin, but at this moment, he looked extremely noble and dominant in everyone’s eyes.

The Shield Warrior from Cainan Province stood in front of everyone with his shield of roses in his right hand while waving the shield of lilies with his left hand. Although he couldn’t dispel the poisonous fog in the end, he ensured that no one would suffer and get hurt.

Jiang Xiao could see the severed figure of the menacing beast in the corridor through the light fog.

Anger and indignation were written all over the Soul Of The Ancient Warrior’s face. He seemed to want to slaughter everyone.

Screw you!

Without hesitation, Jiang Xiao threw out another shot of Sound of Silence, followed by Counter-current Light, which was connected to the severed body.

Not only do I want to share your Star Power, but I also want to use your Star Power to silence you!

Are you going to succumb or not!?!

Do you dare to poison me? If you dare...

Wait, I seem to have insulted the wrong person.

It’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding...

Jiang Xiao blinked. The Soul Of The Ancient Warrior was even more aggrieved than him, for he was constantly suppressed by the Sound of Silence, which made it impossible for him to exhibit his Star Techniques. However, he was like a stubborn donkey that was just staying in place and waiting to suppress the surging Star Power within him using his own powers.

“Charge!” Jiang Xiao held onto the shoulder of the Shield Warrior from Cainan Province and yelled, “One shot is all it takes. Charge!”

Then, Jiang Xiao frantically threw out a shot of Sound of Silence, which caused the Ancient Archer with the poisonous bow to be smashed. His face turned red, and it seemed like Jiang Xiao had put on makeup on his pale face.

Ever since Jiang Xiao’s Counter-current Light was connected to the Soul Of The Ancient Warrior, his Star Power seemed free of charge as he continuously threw shots of Sound of Silence.

Jiang Xiao was completely comfortable, and he felt as if he had inexhaustible Star Power.

While running, the Shield Warrior’s shield of roses continuously grew in his right hand and increased in size, shielding him and Jiang Xiao.

The movements of the Ancient Archers with the poisonous arrows were rather strange. They didn’t turn around to run, and instead, constantly backed away while pulling the bows and shooting arrows. They were probably trying to mobilize their Star Power and break free from the realm of Sound of Silence.

“Raise the shield! Raise the shield!” Jiang Xiao and the Shield Warrior from Cainan Province cooperated well. Jiang Xiao immediately behaved like he was tackling a ball on the soccer field as he leaped out from under the flower shield with the giant sword in his hand.

The Ancient Archer with the poisonous arrow frantically dodged backward while Jiang Xiao’s offensive attacks were launched continuously like an endless stream. With the momentum of the giant sword, he relied on the power of his legs and leaped up into the air before flipping diagonally, quickly approaching the Ancient Archer. The giant sword was then slammed downwards.

The Ancient Archer with the poisonous arrow immediately began to profusely bleed as he was cut from his upper left shoulder to his lower right kidney.

The moment Jiang Xiao landed, he leaped forward like a hungry tiger pouncing onto sheep. The giant sword was long, and he instantly stabbed his enemy, turning them into candied haw on a stick.

The Shield Warrior from Cainan Province was stunned and thought, You’re telling me he’s just a healer?

Wow!

What a thrill!

Jiang Xiao was a little shocked by the information shown in the internal Star Map, but he was also delighted.

“Yo! Yo! Yo!” The Soul Of The Ancient Warrior had clearly felt the rapid loss of Star Power from his body. A thick, black line was inserted into his body, draining his Star Power like a pipe.

The Soul Of The Ancient Warrior roared angrily and finally stopped being stubborn, for it could no longer afford to do so. It staggered forward and limped towards the side to hide behind the wall.

Whoosh!

The half of the severed body of the Soul Of The Ancient Warrior tilted, and at the next moment, a golden Flame Torch Whip pierced through the fog before wrapping around its pale face.

Goddess Xue arrived, and everyone backed away.

The Soul Of The Ancient Warrior yelled, and even though he was pulled out of the domain of the Sound of Silence, he still didn’t intend to use his Star Techniques. Instead, he continued to hold onto the golden flame whip on his face with both of his pale hands.

Han Jiangxue tugged the whip forcefully and added another shot of Barren Wind before continuing to raise her left hand to activate Sky Smasher.

Whoosh!

The cries of pain and agony stopped abruptly, and the Soul Of The Ancient Warrior plunged into the Sky Smasher before disappearing.

Xia Yan and Liu Yang, at Han Jiangxue’s side, rushed out and dashed towards the Ancient Archers with the poisonous arrows.

The battle at the back is over? The three-team alliance has won?

Jiang Xiao tipped the giant sword in his hand and thought to himself that since the melee fighter had already gone forth, there was nothing for him to do.

Did they win just like that?

I haven’t attacked yet.

Everyone immediately reacted and cheered, “We won!”

“We won!!”

“Damn it, we actually won!?!”

Han Jiangxue came to Jiang Xiao’s side, pulled him up, and asked with concern, “You didn’t get injured, did you?”

“No.” Jiang Xiao shook his head hurriedly, but Han Jiangxue’s concern made him think of an important figure. He turned to look at the Shield Warrior from Cainan Province and said, “Friend, your lily is really magical. Without it, everyone in the corridor would have probably been poisoned to death. What’s your name?”

The energized Shield Warrior from Cainan Province raised the lily shield high in his left hand and said with a smile, “My name has something to do with lilies too!”

Jiang Xiao looked at the white lily shield and asked in bewilderment, “What do you mean?”

The Shield Warrior from Cainan Province answered, “My surname is Bai1. When I was born, my father gave my mother a bouquet of lilies, so my name is... Bai Yipeng.”

Before Jiang Xiao could even breathe, he began coughing.

Han Jiangxue was speechless.
