Soon, the statues of the original Shrek Seven Devils of Shrek Academy were completely destroyed by the surging Abyssal Creatures.
This was the facade of Shrek Academy, after all, and it could be said to be a massive blow to everyone in Shrek Academy.
At this moment, Xuan Zi had his hands behind his back, and no expression could be seen on his aged face, so cold that it chilled people's hearts.
His turbid eyes only coldly gazed at the slaughtered students below, seemingly with no intention of making a move at all.
"Xuan Zi!!!"
Not far away, Elder Song, who was fighting to the death with an Abyssal Evil Scythe, already had several wounds on her body that were deep enough to see the bone.
She glanced out of the corner of her eye at the indifferent Xuan Zi, her eyes instantly turning blood red as she sternly rebuked.
"What on earth are you doing?!"
"Are you really planning to ignore these living and breathing students of Shrek Academy right before your eyes just because of that petty rift between you and Bei Bei?!"
Before Xuan Zi could reply, at this very moment, a spine-chilling and eerie sound suddenly came from the Abyssal Passage.
Following that, a thick black mist surged out from the mouth of the abyss like a volcanic eruption!
In the blink of an eye, the rolling black mist shot straight into the clouds, enveloping the entire Shrek Academy, and the range of this black mist continued to expand.
Within Shrek City, everyone also noticed this thick fog and could not help but freeze in place.
"What has happened at Shrek Academy again?"
Such a doubt inevitably surfaced in everyone's minds at this moment.
As for Shrek Academy, accompanied by a series of sharp cries, countless pairs of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up.
Immediately afterward, sky-darkening Four-Clawed Bats flew out from the mouth of the abyss like a breached black torrent!
Their sizes were not too large, but every single one of them grew four knife-sharp claws, and their mouths were filled with dense fangs.
"Not good!"
Elder Song forcibly forced back the Abyssal Evil Scythe in front of her, her gaze sweeping across the surroundings as her pupils suddenly constricted.
She discovered that after those casually killed Abyssal Creatures transformed into gray Qi currents and returned to the passage, they actually reappeared once more.
The students of Shrek Academy also noticed this point and could not help feeling that their mental states had collapsed. What was the point of fighting this?
At this time, Fan Yu brought a group of students from the Spirit Tool Department to provide reinforcement.
There weren't many people, but because of that, everyone held a Spirit Tool gun in hand.
"Open fire!!!"
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—!
In an instant, countless blinding Spirit Tool rays poured out like a rainstorm, interweaving into a dense network of firepower in mid-air!
Those Four-Clawed Bats hit by the Spirit Tool rays were also affected and injured.
These Four-Clawed Bats were merely fragile creatures; conventional Spirit Tools could also harm them, and slightly more powerful Spirit Tools could directly kill them.
However, the number of these Four-Clawed Bats was simply too great.
Even with the support of Spirit Tools, it was still too difficult for everyone to cope.
"Go to hell!"
In mid-air, Ma Xiaotao let out an angry Phoenix cry.
Her Evil Fire Phoenix Spirit was operating at full firepower, and the scorching Phoenix flames smashed toward the bat swarm in mid-air like a meteor shower.
Boom—!
Under the raging flames, Ma Xiaotao burned away a large area with a single strike.
Large batches of Four-Clawed Bats turned into gray Qi currents in the blazing fire and then returned to the Abyssal Passage.
Afterwards, these Four-Clawed Bats surged out again, once more blocking out the sky and sun.
Meanwhile, within Shrek City, the Four-Clawed Bats had also spread out, plunging the ordinary people and Spirit Masters inside Shrek City into panic.
"What on earth has happened to Shrek Academy?!"
"Could it be... Could it be that the beast tide of the Star Dou Great Forest has launched early?"
"Did a transformed Spirit Beast sneak into the internal ranks of Shrek Academy, and then collude with the Vicious Beasts outside to directly launch an inside-and-outside coordinated attack on Shrek Academy?!"
Various speculations began to surface, but they also knew one thing at this moment: Shrek Academy was already unable to protect itself, let alone have any way to protect them.
The former Shrek City could be said to be the safest place on the Douluo Continent, but right now, they could not feel a shred of security.
Within Shrek Academy, the crowd of students also noticed Xuan Zi, who had yet to make a move, and then cast pleading gazes toward him.
"Elder Xuan... I beg you, make a move!"
"Elder Xuan, save us! Everyone is running out of endurance!"
"I don't want to die... Elder Xuan, I beg you to show mercy!"
Hearing these calls for help, Xuan Zi knew that the situation at the moment was already quite dire.
If he made a move now, he should be able to win over a large wave of popularity, and at that time, he could directly use this to abolish the Sea God Pavilion Master position of that fellow Bei Bei.
If not for Bei Bei, Shrek Academy would not have suffered this calamity.
You must know that these monsters only appeared after Bei Bei became the Sea God Pavilion Master.
And it was after having a conflict with him.
Perhaps this was the will of heaven; heaven did not want Bei Bei to hold the position of Sea God Pavilion Master.
Xuan Zi's gaze condensed, and his wrinkle-filled old face immediately put on a righteous expression.
His voice exploded across the entire sky of Shrek Academy like a great bell.
"Humph!"
"How can Shrek Academy allow you reckless beasts to act presumptuously here?!"
The bruised and battered students of Shrek Academy below, who wore expressions of despair, could not help raising their heads one after another, their faces revealing pleasantly surprised expressions!
"Elder Xuan! It's Elder Xuan! Elder Xuan is finally planning to make a move!"
"We are saved! We don't have to die!"
On the other side, Elder Song also manipulated the cyan storm, finally shredding the Abyssal Evil Scythe that had been entangled with her for a long time into pieces.
This Abyssal Evil Scythe also transformed into a gray Qi current and returned to the Abyssal Passage.
Elder Song wore a troubled expression, hoping that the Abyssal Evil Scythe would not reappear so soon.
Her gaze fell upon Xuan Zi, and she couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief in her heart. Was this old bastard finally planning to make a move?
Although Elder Song's heart was filled with anger toward Xuan Zi's previous refusal to save them, she had to admit at this moment that if Xuan Zi joined the battlefield, the pressure on them, the elder generation and the students, would plummet.
After all, no matter how stubborn or even unreliable Xuan Zi's personality was, and no matter how many wrong things he had done... Xuan Zi was at least the solid number one combat power of Shrek Academy nowadays.
Since Xuan Zi could join this battle now, he could definitely reverse the war situation.
Right now, the only one Shrek Academy could rely on was Xuan Zi.
Elder Song wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her gaze staring fixedly at Xuan Zi in mid-air.
Under the gaze of everyone, Xuan Zi let out a cold snort, his arms suddenly spreading wide as his entire body soared into the air like a cannonball!
"Boom!!!"
A terrifying Aura belonging to a Level 98 Super Douluo erupted without any reservation.
A gigantic Taotie Divine Ox phantom emerged behind him, emitting a berserk coercion capable of swallowing the heavens and earth!
At this moment, Xuan Zi was like a Heavenly God descending to earth, imposing and majestic!
All the students, including Elder Song and other elders, held their breath, preparing to witness this number one powerhouse of Shrek Academy display his Divine Might and suppress and kill those terrifying Abyssal Evil Scythes in one fell swoop.
However, right at this moment, a Four-Clawed Bat in the air seemed to be startled by Xuan Zi's Aura and launched a sonic attack at Xuan Zi, the attack heading straight for Xuan Zi's face.
"Mere ants, how dare you actively provoke this old man?!"
Xuan Zi let out a cold snort, a trace of annoyance flashing in his eyes.
He extended his rough, large hand and grabbed directly toward that Four-Clawed Bat.
Reasonably speaking, a casual strike from a Level 98 Super Douluo was enough to reduce such cannon fodder to ashes.
But unexpected things happened!
That Four-Clawed Bat seemed to possess some kind of eerie ability.
Just the moment Xuan Zi's palm was about to crush it, it flashed violently, escaped from Xuan Zi's hand, and then fled toward the distance.
Xuan Zi looked at his empty-handed palm, and an unspeakable sense of shame and annoyance instantly surged into his heart.
He was a dignified Level 98 Super Douluo, yet under the gaze of everyone, a bottom-tier cannon-fodder bat had actually slipped away from his hands?
This was simply a supreme humiliation!
"Bastard thing! Where are you running?!"
Xuan Zi's eyes instantly turned red, his anger soaring to the skies!
Without even looking at the elders below who were fighting the Abyssal Evil Scythes, he let out a loud roar, transformed into a dazzling earthy-yellow stream of light, closely followed that fleeing Four-Clawed Bat, and vanished at the edge of the horizon in the blink of an eye!
"..."
"..."
In an instant, the entire square of Shrek Academy directly quieted down, and everyone was completely dumbfounded.
Xuan Zi did not choose to deal with the most difficult Super Douluo-level Abyssal Evil Scythe right in front of him, but instead chased after a Four-Clawed Bat?!
You must know that the Four-Clawed Bat that had just attacked Xuan Zi was at best only at the level of a Spirit King!!!
In order to hunt down a Spirit King-level cannon-fodder bat, Shrek Academy's highest combat power just like that... just like that abandoned all of them here and flew away heedlessly?!
At this moment, the people of Shrek Academy could not help feeling chaotic in their hearts, as if ten thousand grass-mud horses were stampeding across their hearts.
