Liu Jie's exclamation was like a basin of ice water poured over everyone's heads.

Chen Feng's expression of joy instantly froze.

The robust captain of Chuan Capital had her pupils dilating violently.

An illusion?

That heaven-destroying concentrated fire just now actually hit nothing more than an illusion?

"Not good!"

Guo De's face instantly turned pale.

He knew better than anyone what this meant.

However, it was all too late.

The moment his thoughts turned, a terrifying, irresistible force descended from the sky.

"Thud! Thud!"

A series of dull thuds of people kneeling sounded.

Aside from the three S-Class Professionals, the remaining examinees present couldn't even let out a single groan before being pressed firmly to the ground by this terrifying gravity, unable to move an inch.

Chen Feng propped himself up with his spear on the ground, his knees bending as the bones throughout his body let out groans under the unbearable weight.

Liu Jie's body was wreathed in a chilling aura, barely maintaining her standing posture, though beads of cold sweat had already seeped from her temples.

The robust figure of the Chuan Capital captain couldn't stop trembling at this moment, her teeth clenched tightly.

What kind of power is this?

Why is it so heavy?

Guo De was also pressed down onto one knee, his chubby face turning the color of a pig's liver.

It's this feeling again!

This detestable feeling where even lifting a single finger was incomparably difficult!

"Step, step, step."

Unhurried footsteps came from the nearby jungle.

Everyone raised their heads with difficulty.

They saw the man wearing the Star-Moon Robe walking leisurely out from within.

He was completely unhurt, his expression calm and indifferent, as if the heaven-shaking explosion just now had nothing to do with him at all.

He walked up to Guo De, stopped, and looked down at him condescendingly.

"Do you think I would make the same mistake a second time?"

The corner of Zhou Huai's mouth hooked into an arc.

He had originally just wanted to test what extent Shen Fuhai, the A-Class Illusionist in his team, could actually achieve.

The result was unexpectedly good.

Even so many people hadn't been able to see through it.

One could only say these people were still too young.

Zhou Huai raised the Flame Burst Core in his hand, and the crystal at the top of his staff lit up once more.

"Everyone, the game is over."

He prepared to chant and cast Meteor Fire Rain.

"Wait—"

Seeing this scene, Guo De's eyes flashed with a hint of determination.

He used all the strength in his body and opened his mouth.

He was going to use the same old trick again!

However, he had just uttered a single syllable.

When a burly silver figure rushed over fiercely from afar like a cannonball.

"Bang!"

A metal-wrapped iron fist smashed solidly into Guo De's face.

"You punk, always loving to crack jokes!"

Yuan Kai straddled Guo De, his other fist raining down like raindrops.

"You punk, always loving to crack jokes!"

He roared as he smashed down.

Guo De was beaten until stars danced before his eyes, having no chance to open his mouth again.

His already fat face swelled up another circle at this moment.

He cried out in a slurred voice.

"I… mmm… I won't say it anymore… Won't it do if I don't say it anymore!"

Just at this moment, the sky darkened.

Five huge meteors burning with eerie green flames tore through the clouds and whistled down.

Chen Feng and Liu Jie were greatly alarmed in their hearts.

Even with all their might, their footsteps could only slowly shuffle across the ground.

The others were pressed firmly in place, unable even to raise their heads.

Is this the strength of the Demon King?

Truly terrifying to this extent.

Four S-Class joining forces were ultimately no match for him.

Seeing the meteors getting closer and closer, despair appeared on everyone's faces.

"Roar——!"

The Chuan Capital captain suddenly let out a heaven-shaking roar.

The clothes on her body instantly burst apart, revealing the horrifying, knotted muscles beneath.

Blue veins bulged all over her body, like coiled little snakes.

She abruptly raised her hand and tossed the giant shield in her hand high into the sky.

That giant shield grew rapidly against the wind, instantly transforming into a huge barrier covering everyone, blocking the sky above their heads.

Boom——!

An extremely dull crashing sound rang out from overhead.

The entire earth trembled violently.

The giant shield successfully blocked the impact of the meteors.

But those eerie green flames clung tightly to the surface of the shield like maggots on tarsal bones, burning and corroding frantically.

By the time the giant shield returned to its original size and fell back to the ground, it had become pitted and utterly dilapidated.

The green flames on it were still burning continuously.

The Chuan Capital captain's face instantly turned pale.

Looking at the giant shield still being corroded by the flames in her hands, her heart bled.

This was an Epic-grade giant shield she had managed to get her hands on with great difficulty!

And just like that, it was ruined.

Without this shield, her strength would drop by at least half.

However, as she blocked this terrifying blow, the horrific gravity enveloping everyone finally dissipated slowly.

Everyone recovered their ability to move.

"Kill!"

The moment Chen Feng felt the gravity disappear, he reacted.

His figure was as fast as lightning, instantly appearing in front of Gandalf.

Countless spear images, like a violent storm, poured frantically toward Gandalf.

Zhou Huai sneered disdainfully and waved his hand.

A layer of crystal-clear Arcane Barrier instantly enveloped him.

Chen Feng's attacks all landed on the Arcane Barrier.

-1024!

-988!

-1153!

Every single strike could knock off over a thousand points of shield value.

However, Gandalf's total shield value was as high as 150,000.

This bit of damage was practically tickling him.

The more Chen Feng fought, the more alarmed he became.

This mage's shield was simply too thick!

Fortunately, the other Classer who had recovered began to follow up with their damage outputs.

Under the dense bombardment of skills, Gandalf's shield value finally dropped by one-third.

As a result, the next second.

Gandalf merely casually raised his hand.

The depleted shield value instantly refilled to maximum.

Chen Feng's pupils shrank violently, his eyes splitting with rage.

Not far away, Liu Jie, who was still continuously releasing skills, also had a pale little face.

At this moment, they finally realized the true meaning of the three words "Demon King".

The opponent could neutralize all their offensives with just a casual, understated move.

Completely at ease.

While they were like clumsy clowns before this powerful mage.

Inside the livestream room, the bullet comments rolled by frantically.

【I hereby declare! He is my idol! Too strong! This is simply a dimensional reduction strike!】

【How is this even supposed to be fought? Attacks deal scraping damage, the shield regenerates instantly—this is simply unsolvable!】

Of course, Gandalf's side was having a great time fighting.

Ye Xi, Yuan Kai, and Shen Fuhai were under immense pressure.

The recovered Guo De directly led people to chase and beat Yuan Kai.

Ye Xi and Shen Fuhai were besieged by three people, and the situation was quite critical.

Seeing this, Zhou Huai decided not to waste any more time.

He raised his staff high, preparing to cast 【Forbidden Spell: Thousand Mile Ice Seal】.

Right at this moment.

A bizarre black figure abruptly appeared in front of him.

Zhou Huai didn't even clearly see the opponent's movement.

A hand wrapped in black qi and wearing sharp nails had already imprinted onto his Arcane Barrier.

Bang——!

-38291!

An absurdly high damage number popped up from above Gandalf's head.

Zhou Huai's heart shook violently.

Before he even had time to react, his entire person flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

"Boom!"

Gandalf's body smashed heavily against a huge ancient tree before barely coming to a stop.

This sudden scene stunned everyone.

The fierce battle abruptly came to a halt.

Everyone successively stopped the actions in their hands, looking with terrified gazes at the figure that had suddenly appeared.

They saw that person wearing a ferocious ghoul mask on their face.

From beneath the mask came a chilling, spine-chillingly eerie laughter.

He turned his head, looked at Gandalf not far away, and slowly spoke.

"Little fellow… these are all my prey."

"I won't allow you to harm them."

"Hehehe…"
