Chapter 1297 Heroic Trial

Before the ancient and sacred teleportation gate, as Silent Star and the others chanted their incantations, the teleportation gate gradually coalesced into a spatial passage.

The moment the spatial passage appeared, everyone present felt an unprecedented ancient aura surge from it, as if a slumbering dragon had been awakened from the abyss, filling them with an unprecedented sense of oppression.

"So strong! Is this the Heroic Trial?" Shi Feng thought to himself, surprised by the pressure emanating from the spatial passage. "The momentary pressure is probably not much weaker than a demigod's. If we go in, even tier 3 experts will find it difficult to display their tier 2 combat power."

Although pressure doesn't fatally wound players, it does affect their combat performance.

The pressure emanating from the spatial passage was almost unbearable even for him, let alone the top tier 3 experts. He couldn't imagine what it would be like for other tier 3 classes to fight inside.

"The teleportation gate will be fully open in forty seconds. There will be a magic surge then. Floating Light, start constructing a magic barrier!" Silent Star said in the team chat, watching the spatial passage grow more stable.

"Yes!"

At Silent Star's command, Floating Light immediately directed the tier 3 magic classes in the team to start constructing a tier 3 defensive magic barrier.

Magic surges don't harm players directly, but if hit by one, a player's mana, as well as their perception and control of mana, would be greatly reduced for a time. Some might even be unable to use magic skills.

Previously, when Violet Sword was exploring an ordinary trial, they were caught off guard and fell victim to a magic surge, leaving their exploration team in a state of mana instability for a full day.

However, just as the members of Violet Sword were constructing the magic barrier, they heard a low shout from afar.

"Good opportunity! Everyone, charge! Interrupt the unlocking of their teleportation gate!" Burst Sand waved his hand abruptly, watching Floating Light and the others construct the magic barrier.

Instantly, a group of figures rushed towards Silent Star and the others.

"The Silver Light Legion?" Silent Star recognized Burst Sand and the others at a glance, and her expression darkened. "Burst Sand! Does Mythic Illusion intend to break our agreement?"

Normally, they wouldn't care about Burst Sand and the others.

But right now, Violet Sword's top experts were opening the teleportation gate and preparing to resist the magic surge, leaving them with few available personnel.

Burst Sand and the others were all top experts, especially Burst Sand, who had mastered Domain. If they launched an attack, the consequences would be unimaginable. Moreover, Burst Sand and the others were using a battle array, making their basic attributes incomparable to ordinary tier 3 classes.

"Agreement?" Burst Sand chuckled. "I don't recall Mythic Illusion having any agreement with Violet Sword in the Ancient Secret Realm. Besides, you can only blame yourselves for not knowing what's good for you, daring to cooperate with Zero Wing. Now, perish with them!"

As he spoke, Burst Sand and the others increased their speed.

"Damn it! They actually dare to attack!" Silent Star looked at Burst Sand and the others closing in, and turned to Floating Light. "Floating Light, you and the others cooperate with Guild Leader Black Flame and stall them for forty seconds. If the spell to open the teleportation gate is interrupted, the trial challenge will be invalidated!"

"Yes!" Floating Light nodded, her gaze at Burst Sand and the others tinged with gravity.

Although they had a numerical advantage, and there was also a monster like Shi Feng, the number of top experts they could deploy right now was far less than that of Burst Sand and the others, not to mention the battle array buffing Burst Sand and the others, greatly exceeding their attributes. If Burst Sand and the others broke through and interrupted Coach Red Star's incantation, everything would be in vain.

"Be careful, Captain Burst Sand and the others must have used some means, the pressure they're emitting is no different from a tier 4 mythical monster, absolutely do not confront them head-on." Raging Flame Berserker looked at Floating Light and the others and cautioned, "What you need to do is to contain them, as long as you can hold on for forty seconds, we can free up our hands and deal with them together!"

"No need, just leave these people to us, you guys focus on opening the teleportation gate." Shi Feng said suddenly.

"Guild Leader Black Flame, it's not that we doubt your strength, but we can't take the risk. Mythic Illusion's ace legion, the Silver Light Legion, has a battle array buffing the entire group. Even a top expert can compete with someone who has mastered Domain, not to mention the leaders like Burst Sand, whose combat skills are probably just half a step away from mastering Domain. Plus their current strange power, their combat power is far beyond that of an ordinary team of top experts." Silent Star looked at Shi Feng, who wasn't letting them participate in the battle, and quickly advised, "Floating Light and the others, although there are few of them, they are all absolute top experts, they can help a little."

She had confidence in Shi Feng, and defeating Burst Sand and the others was definitely not a problem. But right now, it wasn't a question of whether they could win, but of preventing Burst Sand and the others from interrupting their incantation, and minimizing personnel losses.

There's a saying that goes, two fists can't beat four hands. Shi Feng was only one person, but Burst Sand had more than thirty people. How many could Shi Feng hold back?

Raging Flame Berserker nodded in agreement, feeling that Shi Feng was being too proud.

"You've misunderstood, we can completely block this level of combat power. If you don't feel at ease, you can join the battle, I don't mind." Shi Feng looked at the anxious expressions of the two and chuckled.

Shi Feng's voice wasn't loud, but for the tier 3 experts with extraordinary senses, even hundreds of yards away, they could hear it clearly.

"Completely block them, is it?" Burst Sand laughed, a hint of coldness in his eyes. "Then let me see how you block them! You guys, attack!"

Just as Burst Sand finished speaking, six level 113 assassins suddenly darted out from less than fifty yards away from Silent Star and the others.

The leading masked assassin radiated a pressure no less than that of a mythical monster, and his speed was so fast that he appeared less than thirty yards from Silent Star in the blink of an eye. The dagger in his hand was thrown directly, turning into dozens of streams of light that cut through the space and stabbed straight at Silent Star and the dozen or so people hosting the magic array.

"How could they! Their people have been lurking here for a long time?" Floating Light's face turned pale at the sight.

Such a swift attack, they couldn't defend against it at all. Even Shi Feng could probably only block a few people, after all, Silent Star and the others were standing too far apart, and a melee attack distance wouldn't be enough.

Just as dozens of streams of light that cut through space were about to hit Silent Star and the others, walls of ice suddenly appeared in mid-air, directly separating the crowd and the streams of light.

And these powerful streams of light slammed into the ice walls as if they had struck iron walls. Not only did they create a certain amount of obstruction, but they also caused the attacks of these streams of light to deviate to a certain extent. None of the dozens of streams of light managed to hit Silent Star and the others.

"The tier 2 ice wall actually deflected all of them? How is this possible!" The leading masked tier 3 level 114 assassin stared in disbelief.

The power of his tier 3 skill, with the blessing of the Mana Devouring Gem, was definitely at the tier 4 level, and could not be deflected by a mere tier 2 ice wall, not even affected. But right now, Silent Star and the others were unscathed. How could he believe it?

"Who exactly made the move?" Burst Sand was also stunned by this scene, and couldn't help but look at Silent Star. "Could it be her?"

At this time, apart from Silent Star, a magic elementalist, he couldn't think of anyone else who had the ability to use a tier 2 ice wall to deflect an attack with tier 4 power.

But Silent Star was maintaining the incantation for the teleportation gate, so logically, she couldn't afford to care about anything else.

Not only Burst Sand and the others were surprised, but Silent Star and the others were also surprised. However, compared to Burst Sand, who was only a melee class, Silent Star and other magic classes were very sensitive to mana, and immediately turned their attention to the source of the ice wall's magic.

"Xiaoqian?" Silent Star looked at Yuan Xiaoqian, who was surrounded by ice elements, which was proof that she was casting ice magic, and was stunned for a moment. "When did she become so strong?"
