Chapter 353: He is Gandalf!

"Vice Dean Xia!"

The two Old Generals, General Qin Yue and General Jiang Wei, felt their hearts instantly sink to rock bottom.

Having successfully landed its strike, a flash of human-like cruelty and disdain crossed the Nether Tyrant Tiger's beastly pupils, which were burning with nether fire.

It did not pause for even a second.

Its massive body lunged forward once more, raising a gigantic tiger paw that was strong enough to crush mountains, and viciously stamped down toward the already dying Vice Dean Xia inside the huge crater!

If this stomp landed solidly, Vice Dean Xia would undoubtedly be reduced to a puddle of minced meat!

"Beast! How dare you!"

General Qin Yue's eyes split with anger as he let out a furious roar.

The spear in General Qin Yue's hand let out a clear dragon roar, and his entire body transformed into a streak of light, recklessly charging toward the huge crater.

He had to rescue Vice Dean Xia before the tiger paw fell!

However, fast as he was, the Nether Tyrant Tiger moved even faster!

That colossal shadow had already enveloped Vice Dean Xia's body.

At a moment of imminent peril!

General Qin Yue's figure finally arrived.

He scooped up Vice Dean Xia's broken body in his arms, used every ounce of his strength, and tumbled out miserably to the side!

Rumble—!!!

Almost the exact instant he left his spot, the gigantic tiger paw crashed down!

The earth violently trembled, and the entire East City Gate seemed to shake.

An even more horrifying giant crater than before abruptly appeared!

The devastating shockwave swept outward, instantly sending dozens of nearby exotic beasts flying before they could dodge!

Holding Vice Dean Xia, General Qin Yue rolled dozens of meters across the ground before barely managing to stop.

The moment he raised his head, he saw the pitch-black beast horde surging toward them frantically like sharks smelling blood!

"Damn it!"

General Qin Yue cursed under his breath; holding Vice Dean Xia, he was completely unable to launch an effective counterattack.

Right at that moment, a graceful figure descended from the sky, landing steadily in front of him.

It was General Jiang Wei.

The sword in her hand, clear as autumn water, let out a crisp sword hum.

"Sword Sweeps the Eight Desolations!"

Accompanied by a clear shout, a crescent-shaped Sword Qi up to one hundred meters long swept horizontally outward!

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, the bodies of the dozens of exotic beasts rushing at the very front were instantly sliced in half at the waist!

Foul-smelling blood and internal organs spilled all over the ground.

The offensive of the beast horde was forcibly checked for a brief moment.

"Vice Dean Xia, are you alright?"

General Qin Yue lowered his head, looking at Vice Dean Xia whose face was as pale as gold in his arms, and his heart instantly sank to rock bottom.

The opponent's health bar was already less than one-tenth.

And it was still continuously dropping at a slow speed.

"Cough cough…"

Vice Dean Xia coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, his face full of guilt.

"Sorry… This old man has held the two of you back."

"Please don't say that!" General Qin Yue quickly interrupted him.

"I'll send you back into the city right now!"

However, that gigantic Nether Tyrant Tiger clearly did not give them a chance to catch their breath.

It let out a heaven-shaking roar and once again strode with heavy steps, rampaging toward the direction of the three people!

At the same time, the areas around them that had been cleared out by the Sword Qi were quickly filled by the subsequent army of exotic beasts.

They roared again, unleashing skill effects that covered the sky and earth!

"You take Vice Dean Xia and go first! I'll cover you!"

General Jiang Wei swung her sword once more, blasting away the surrounding surging exotic beasts and skills.

She shouted to General Qin Yue without looking back.

General Qin Yue nodded heavily.

Hesitating no longer, he held Vice Dean Xia, exerted sudden force with his legs, and soared straight up into the sky!

The speed was fast to the extreme!

However, how could the Nether Tyrant Tiger let them escape so easily?

It abruptly opened its bloody maw.

An energy sphere over five meters in diameter, burning with deep blue nether fire, rapidly condensed in its mouth!

The next second, the energy sphere transformed into a devastating beam of light, heading straight for those two figures in mid-air at a terrifying speed exceeding the speed of sound!

General Jiang Wei had just finished dealing with the beast horde surrounding them from below.

Looking up and seeing this scene, her expression drastically changed.

"Not good!"

She just wanted to fly up to intercept it.

But it was already too late.

That destructive beam of light was already less than a hundred meters away from General Qin Yue and Vice Dean Xia!

Upon the city wall, all the students who saw this scene turned pale white, all color draining from their faces.

It's over.

Several timid female students instinctively closed their eyes.

They couldn't bear to watch the bloody scene that was about to follow.

In the next second, their deeply respected Vice Dean Xia and that Old General who had fought bloody battles to protect the city were very likely to be completely obliterated right in front of them.

However, right at that moment.

A resonant young man's voice came from the distant horizon like an oracle!

"Forbidden Spell: Thousand Mile Ice Seal!"

Just as the words fell.

An extremely terrifying cold current descended without any warning!

That originally unstoppable destructive beam of light abruptly stagnated the moment it came into contact with the cold current!

Immediately afterwards, at a speed visible to the naked eye, from the outside to the inside, it was rapidly covered by a layer of crystal-clear ice crystals!

In the end, it turned into a huge ice sculpture suspended in mid-air, flickering with seven-colored radiance!

Dead silence.

Whether on top of the city wall or beneath it.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the ice sculpture suspended in mid-air, their brains completely blank.

They turned their heads in unison to look in the direction the sound came from.

They saw a mysterious figure wearing a star moon robe in the distant horizon, being dragged by a crystal-clear water dragon, tearing through the air toward this side at an incredible speed!

In mid-air, General Qin Yue also stared blankly at the young mage.

The opponent was actually able to block the skill released by the Nether Tyrant Tiger!

Their strength must be unfathomable.

Only, how come he didn't know there was such a powerful and young mage in Jiangning City?

Seeing the other person getting closer and closer to him.

Supporting Vice Dean Xia in his arms, General Qin Yue just wanted to open his mouth to say thank you.

As a result, the young man didn't even glance at him.

He simply brushed past him and flew straight toward the direction of the Nether Tyrant Tiger.

General Qin Yue: "…"

Saving Vice Dean Xia's life was paramount right now.

General Qin Yue didn't dwell on it anymore.

Holding Vice Dean Xia, he rapidly landed back on the city wall of the East City Gate.

Several healing-type Professionals who had been waiting here for a long time immediately surrounded them.

Streaks of warm Holy Light fell upon Vice Dean Xia's body.

Seeing his continuously dropping health bar finally stop and begin to slowly recover.

Everyone's hearts involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.

Vice Dean Xia's complexion also became much better.

"Vice Dean Xia, are you feeling better?"

General Qin Yue asked with concern.

Vice Dean Xia slowly nodded.

He raised his cloudy old eyes, struggled to sit up, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"That… mage who just saved us, who is he?"

As soon as this question came out, everyone around looked at each other in dismay.

Yet no one could answer.

This person seemed to have popped out of thin air.

No one knew his background.

Beneath the city wall, those soldiers fighting bloody battles also had the same doubt.

"Who was that mage who attacked just now? So powerful!"

"Yeah, to actually be able to use ice to block a Hell-level BOSS's skill! Isn't this way too fierce?"

Only Ye Xi, within her clear eyes, flickered with a bright light.

"I know him! He is Gandalf!"

This year's National Examination for Professionals.

Didn't she ride on Gandalf's coattails, sweep all the way through, and ultimately secure the throne of first place in the National Examination?

That iconic star moon robe.

That heaven-destroying and earth-shattering power of a forbidden spell.

How could she possibly forget.

"I didn't expect him to actually come back!"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding soldiers were stunned for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, expressions of sudden realization appeared on their faces.

Gandalf!

It turned out to be that top Prodigy who swept across all provincial regions of Great Xia Country and won this year's National Examination top scholar with a crushing posture!

That legendary SS-Class Forbidden Spell Master!

"No wonder! No wonder he is so strong!"

"To think it was actually him who came! The Central Military Department must have sent him to support our Jiangning City!"

This news was like a shot of adrenaline, instantly injecting itself into everyone's hearts!

The morale, which had been somewhat low due to Vice Dean Xia's severe injury, was ignited once more at this moment!

…

The Nether Tyrant Tiger's beast pupils, burning with nether fire, locked firmly onto that tiny figure suspended in mid-air.

It sensed a faint threat from the other person.

However, more than that, there was still the anger and disdain of being provoked by an ant.

Gandalf ignored its gaze.

Nor did he waste any words.

He slowly raised the staff in his hand.

And began to chant.

Immediately afterwards!

The sky suddenly darkened!

Eight gigantic meteors burning with azure-green Soul-Devouring Nether Flame tore through the heavy clouds and fiercely plummeted down with heaven-destroying and earth-shattering might!
