"Human, it's you again!" The voice of the Netherworld Serpent rang out from the rooftop.
The sound was like a thunderclap, lingering for a long time, making the ears of the three people ring.
Even with her ears covered, Lu Shi could still feel the rumbling sound.
"Falcon, that human woman killed Sweetie. Go and kill her." The Netherworld Serpent's voice continued to echo in the air.
Immediately afterwards, a giant eagle flew out from the top of a tall building to the right of the Zifeng Tower.
It is the size of three adults, yet its flight is graceful and not at all bulky. With its wingspan nearly ten meters, it is a truly magnificent sight.
In the blink of an eye, it arrived above Lu Shi and the others. It hovered in the air, its eyes fixed on Lu Shi.
"It's a Tier 6 magical beast, Wind Chaser." Huang Tian exclaimed, "Shishi, I'll deal with it. I can still fight against a mere Tier 6 magical beast. But I need you to help me with my mind magic, because the Netherworld Serpent's attacks are too difficult to defend against."
"I will, Uncle. Go ahead, good luck!" Lu Shi waved her hand, releasing a mental purification.
Heartfire effect triggered.
Wings of wind appeared behind Huang Tian, and he spread his body to meet the approaching Wind Chaser.
Lu Shi watched with great interest as he witnessed an aerial battle between a high-level wind mage and a level 6 wind magical beast for the first time.
It was like two fighter jets, one large and one small, performing various high-difficulty aerial maneuvers, with magical "missiles" like wind blades and fireballs exchanging blows from time to time. It truly felt like watching an aerial combat blockbuster up close.
As she watched, Lu Shi longed even more for the moment when she could fly into the sky.
"Teacher Lu, Teacher Lu." Zhang Qinglan carefully tugged at Lu Shi's sleeve and said, "It seems we're surrounded. Downstairs, downstairs is full of monsters."
He pointed outside the platform, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
At the foot of the building, countless hyenas gathered, all with their heads held high, constantly howling.
Strangely, the hyenas stood still, barking threateningly, seemingly just surrounding the building.
"Teacher Lu, why don't they rush up?" Zhang Qinglan asked suspiciously.
"Heh." Lu Shi stopped looking up at Huang Tian's battle, glanced down at the hyenas downstairs, then turned around to face the shadowy spot at the entrance to the emergency exit. She chuckled and slowly explained, "Because, some more rats who can't stand the light of day have come looking for death."
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures in black emerged from the shadows.
"What are your numbers?" Looking at their familiar attire, Lu Shi wondered how much soul weight these two people were worth.
After all, the men in black are dressed in the standard attire of the Shadow Society.
"Are you familiar with us?" A man in black stared at Lu Shi with interest.
"Seventy-two, stop wasting time talking to her. Eighty said she's very difficult to deal with. Seventy, even the leader died at her hands. Let's get started." As the other man in black spoke, black light surged in his hand, and the star map he was drawing was constantly improving.
"Seventy-one, you really have no mercy for women. But I like the ruthlessness of destroying flowers, haha." Seventy-two laughed, and black light appeared on his hands, also drawing a star map.
"So it was numbers seventy-one and seventy-two. If we kill you, the entire seventy-digit number segment of the Shadow Demon Society will be wiped out." Lu Shi laughed happily.
As she spoke, she fired three Shadow Spikes at the two of them. The Shadow Spikes struck a blue light barrier and vanished into nothingness.
Wow, one of you is a water-type.
Although she didn't know what kind of water-based magic it was, she recognized the color.
It seems we need to get serious.
Immediately, Lu Shi drew a white star map again, released a mental purification spell on the yellow sky, and shouted, "Uncle, I have to be busy for a while, you hang in there!"
Lu Shi's words and the magic of purifying the mind were released almost simultaneously.
Huang Tian hurriedly turned around and saw that the dark sky completely enveloped the building.
Looking at the dark rooftop platform, Huang Tian was anxious, but he thought that with the Hidden Demon Needle, Shi Shi should be able to hold on for a while.
The Wind Chaser was incredibly fast, forcing Huang Tian to fight it off with all his might. He unleashed wind blades and fireballs, determined to take down the 6th-tier magical beast as quickly as possible.
Inside the dark light curtain, the situation was different from what Huang Tian had expected.
The person had absolutely no chance to hide.
"Little beauty, we knew you had a shadow artifact, even capable of achieving level 10 Shadow Escape invisibility." Seventy-One's voice echoed from the darkness. "Therefore, this time we specially prepared a double reign of darkness for you. In this darkness, we are kings, and all shadow magic below the Super Rank must obey our will. Haha!"
Lu Shi sensed something was different. Indeed, his Shadow Arts were as if sealed, and he couldn't activate the Star Chart at all. Shadow Escape and Shadow Nails couldn't be released.
The members of the Shadow Society are indeed extraordinary; defeating ordinary mages by challenging those of higher levels is as easy as taking candy from a baby.
Ding ding dang dang.
The golden illusion appeared on Lu Shi's body, and the six shadow nails were blocked.
Multiple cracks reappeared on the shapeshifting gold. The powerful impact also caused Lu Shi to stagger back several steps, eventually crashing into someone.
"Ouch."
It turns out it was Zhang Qinglan, that burden.
"Teacher Lu." Zhang Qinglan called out softly, clutching the spot where Lu Shi had bumped into her.
"Okay, stand back a bit. Don't get caught in the crossfire," Lu Shi said, forcing herself to stay calm.
"If I go any further, I'll fall off the building."
Zhang Qinglan said aggrievedly, "Although I can't see it, I feel that we should be on the edge of the platform."
Lu Shi stuck out her tongue.
In the dark, the students couldn't see their embarrassment anyway.
However, the people from the Shadow Society are really annoying.
They always manage to come up with something new and interesting.
Fortunately, I have some new tricks up my sleeve.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh.
Another whooshing sound came through the air.
Lu Shi's feet flickered on the wind rails, and she slid rapidly in the opposite direction from Zhang Qinglan.
Although several Shadow Spikes were dodged, one still managed to hit the Shapeshifter Gold.
Bang.
It appears that one piece is broken.
"Master, what have you been doing lately? In such a short time, the Shapeshifting Gold has been ravaged by countless spells and sharp weapons. Look at it, it's riddled with holes and incredibly fragile inside. It's supposed to be a rare defensive magical artifact! How could you do this to it, Master?" Little Scissors's dissatisfied voice rang out in the consciousness space.
"I've just been fighting a lot. You know, mages and magical beasts all like to fight. Especially magical beasts, they like to bully people with their bodies all the time, scratching and biting, and sometimes you can't avoid it," Lu Shi explained.
"Master, don't try to joke with me. Let me tell you, given the current strength of the Shapeshifting Gold, it will shatter completely after a few more attacks. The kind that can't even be repaired." Little Scissors' voice was laced with threat.
"Alright, alright. I'll be careful. Now, I'll show you my true skills." As Lu Shi spoke, she raised her right hand, and a huge phoenix flame enveloped her.
Instantly, the phoenix phantom emitted a brilliant light, piercing the darkness and illuminating everything within a ten-meter radius of Lu Shi. It also revealed the incredulous faces of Seventy-One and Seventy-Two. Even their hands, which were casting magic, paused for a moment.
"Found you two rats." Lu Shi smiled, her beauty dazzling in the flames.
In stark contrast to her beautiful face was the incredibly violent scene that followed.
Two lightning spears descended from the sky, piercing the heads of Seventy-One and Seventy-Two precisely from the top of their heads.
The lightning spear crackled with electricity and exploded inside the two men's bodies, scattering blood and limbs across the platform.
The dual Shadow Domination vanished instantly.

Following the prompt, Lu Shi withdrew the Phoenix Flame.
The level 10 fireball can no longer be used for ranged attacks. It can only be used to attach to an enemy, and it provides a bonus for melee attacks. But this doesn't feel like a buff; it actually makes it less useful. I'm not going to recklessly engage in melee combat.
However, in a dark space, possession can be surprisingly effective as a source of light.
It's a bit harmful to your health.
"Teacher Lu!" Zhang Qinglan's exclamation rang out again.
Lu Shi suddenly looked up.
Three shadow spikes shot towards his face.
The shapeshifting gold reappeared, blocking the three shadow spikes.
With a cracking sound, the shape-shifting gold shattered inch by inch.
With a loud bang, it vanished into nothingness.
The defensive artifact that had been with me for several days was completely shattered.
"Master, you really know how to play!" Little Scissors was speechless.
Lu Shi's shock turned into anger.
Looking at the Seventy-One emerging from the shadows, Lu Shi shouted angrily, "So you're the one who ruined my magic weapon, huh?"
Her figure disappeared from the spot.
In Seventy-One's incredulous gaze, the entire person appeared behind him.
Then a lightning spear descended from the sky, piercing straight at Seventy-One.
This time, there was no substitute puppet for Seventy-One.
Whether it was intentional or not, the lightning spear missed its mark and completely shattered his left arm.
Seventy-one screamed, clutching his left severed wound. The lightning had charred the wound black, even burning away the blood.
"Those beasts from the Shadow Society deserve to go to hell!"
Three shadow spikes pierced Seventy-one's chest with pinpoint accuracy.

"Even if your Shadow Envoys are invincible among their peers, I can kill you as easily as I kill hyenas."
