Chapter 2254 - Broken, protective cover!

Amidst the shocked gazes of countless onlookers, two attacks collided with a resounding impact!

The clash between vibrant red and deep blue colors filled the entire sky, even obscuring the brilliance of the sun.

In that moment, the very space of the world seemed to distort.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The explosions resounded, and the uncontrolled surge of elemental energy filled the air.

However, what surprised everyone was that even the protective shield of the competition stage had distorted under the impact of these two energies, as if it could shatter at any moment.

Witnessing this scene, the disciples closer to the stage couldn't help but retreat.

If that shield were to be breached, they would suffer severe injuries.

Crack!

Suddenly, a cracking sound rang out, and to the astonishment of the crowd, the invincible protective shield developed a massive crack.

Crack! Crack!

"Oh my, the shield is about to shatter!"

"Everyone, retreat quickly! The shield is going to explode!"

It was unclear which disciple shouted first, but soon all the disciples were shouting in unison.

The cracking sound spread continuously, and the disciples swiftly felt the heat of moisture and flames. They quickly retreated and used their elemental energy to protect themselves.

Their strength was nowhere near that of Bai Li Hong Zhuang and Yan Yu Huan. If they were affected by this energy, it would likely take a long time for them to recover and continue their cultivation.

On the elevated platform, the four hall masters immediately stood up when they saw that Bai Li Hong Zhuang and Yan Yu Huan's martial techniques had shattered the protective shield.

In the next moment, the four hall masters simultaneously made their move, releasing their inner elemental energy to replenish the shield's power.

The protective shield of the competition stage had always been formidable. In the previous battles among the four halls, there had been instances of it cracking, but that was usually reserved for the finals.

Now, it was only the third preliminary match, yet the shield had already shattered under the attacks. It was evident how strong the disciples' displayed power was.

With the intervention of the four hall masters, the shield gradually regained its strength, closing the shattered area.

Upon witnessing this scene, the disciples in the spectator stands finally felt relieved.

However, the ripple of elemental energy that had previously swept towards them left them with lingering fear.

"It's terrifying! Bai Li Hong Zhuang is undoubtedly a prominent figure on the Vermilion Hall's ranking! It's hard to find many new disciples who can reach such a level, even in the entire Tian Gang Sect."

"Who said Bai Li Hong Zhuang used connections to get here? If this is the kind of strength one can obtain through connections, then what does it say about others?"

"Bai Li Hong Zhuang will be the goddess in my heart from now on. Anyone who dares to defame her, I'll tear them apart!"

After this disciple's words fell, the other practitioners echoed in agreement.

Regardless of the final outcome of this match, Bai Li Hong Zhuang had already conquered everyone with her strength.

Perhaps, the fact that Bai Li Hong Zhuang never sought retribution despite facing countless injustices made everyone feel even more guilty now that they knew the truth.

They had truly been narrow-minded, treating a woman in such a manner.

Upon seeing that all the disciples had changed their perspective, Xia Zhi Qing and the others couldn't help but feel joy for Bai Li Hong Zhuang.

They had been indignant all this time, and now Bai Li Hong Zhuang had finally been vindicated!
