Chapter 1058: Stunning Blow (3)
“Where are Duan Hen and Shen Yanxiao?” Everyone narrowed their eyes as they tried to find the two contestants under the light of the fire.
This was the first confrontation between mythical beasts in this tournament, and only in such a fight could people understand how terrifying the strength of a mythical beast was.
Even though the stage had been enhanced with high defensive magic, under the flames of the Redflame Beast and Vermilion Bird, everyone could clearly hear the cracking sound of the stage.
Evidently, the flames released by the two mythical beasts had far exceeded the stage’s defensive strength!
Under such terrifying flames, not to mention humans, even metal would be burnt into its molten state. So, how were Shen Yanxiao and Duan Hen doing?
All of a sudden, Vermilion Bird rose into the air and hovered above the stage. On his back, Shen Yanxiao suddenly sat down.
On the stage, Duan Hen was seated on the back of the Redflame Beast with a golden bow in his hand.
The two mythical beasts protected their masters with their bodies the very next second in order for them to avoid the flames.
“How are we supposed to fight? Even though Vermilion Bird can fly, Shen Yanxiao is a Warlock. She won’t be able to touch Duan Hen at such a far distance!” No one was a fool. Archers and Magus had the best long-range capabilities. Even though Vermilion Bird could avoid a direct confrontation with the Redflame Beast, it gave Duan Hen a great edge in the fight with his superior range.
At such a distance, the battle between the two mythical beasts could continue, but there was a gap between Duan Hen and Shen Yanxiao’s strength.
Archers had a wide range of attacks, and Duan Hen could directly ride on the Redflame Beast. While relying on the Redflame Beast’s defense to avoid Vermilion Bird’s attack, he could use his bow to attack Shen Yanxiao.
It was public knowledge that Shen Yanxiao was a Warlock. Even though Warlocks could cast curses soundlessly, they must enter a certain range to do so. Based on the current situation, it was practically impossible for Shen Yanxiao to cast a curse on Duan Hen. The distance between them immediately showed the differences between their professions.
Furthermore, the Redflame Beast was stronger than Vermilion Bird. Even if they could not fight him head-on, they could exhaust him to death in a battle of attrition. If it came to that point, Shen Yanxiao would still lose.
No matter how they looked at it, Shen Yanxiao would lose this fight.
Everyone in Sun Never Sets could not help but feel nervous for Shen Yanxiao. Nangong Mengmeng was even more anxious.
“What’s wrong with Teacher? Wasn’t she fine earlier? Why isn’t she using her summon?” Nangong Mengmeng had been learning curses from Shen Yanxiao, so she naturally knew that her Teacher was a Second-Cla.s.s Expert. Even though Shen Yanxiao had admitted that she was an Advanced-level Professional, she did not believe it.
The expressions of the Five Beasts turned solemn.
“Xiaoxiao is really an Advanced-level Professional,” Tang Nazhi frowned and said with great difficulty.
“How is that possible! Teacher has clearly advanced to the second cla.s.s promotion!” Nangong Mengmeng widened her eyes, unwilling to believe this fact.
“We don’t know either. Xiaoxiao only told us yesterday, but she did not reveal the specific reason.” The lazy smile on Qi Xia’s face had somewhat faded. The result of this fight was not looking good. Shen Yanxiao’s strength regression was too sudden, and they had no idea what caused it.
