In a flash, Shen Yunxi's figure had already quietly approached from behind, the Xuan Tian Sword in her hand flashing with a cold light, pointing directly at his back.

At the critical moment, he suddenly realized the danger and, without thinking, pulled out a talisman.

The talisman shone brightly and then exploded with a deafening roar. The huge explosion resounded throughout the forest, and the shockwave, carrying rubble and leaves, swept out like a hurricane. The deafening sound echoed through the valley for a long time.

The intense light from the explosion was clearly visible even through the dense forest, like fireworks suddenly bursting in the night sky, attracting everyone's attention.

"What was that sound?" A student who was sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the explosion with a puzzled expression.

"It sounded like an explosion. What happened?" Another examinee stood up, a hint of unease on his face.

“Let’s go check it out; someone might be in danger,” suggested a burly examinee.

“Wait a minute,” a more cautious examinee stopped him, “the explosion was quite powerful, we should be careful.”

"That looks like Bai Ziyu?" a sharp-eyed examinee said, pointing in the direction of the explosion.

"Bai Ziyu?" Everyone was startled upon hearing this.

"Isn't Bai Ziyu an examiner? Who is he fighting with?"

"Could it be that we encountered a powerful monster?" someone speculated.

"It doesn't seem like it. If it were a demonic beast, it should have roared."

"Shall we go take a look?" one of the bolder candidates asked eagerly.

"Forget it. The one who could force Bai Ziyu to use the Explosive Talisman must be a powerful expert at the ninth level of the Spirit Venerable realm. If we go over there, we'll just be caught in the crossfire," a more rational examinee advised.

"Yes, Bai Ziyu is a ninth-level Spirit Venerable expert. Even he had to use an explosive talisman, which shows how terrifying the opponent's strength is."

"Luckily, we were far away. Explosive talismans are much more powerful than explosive pills. If we were even a little closer, we would have been injured by their residual force," said one of the examinees, still shaken.

"That's right. I heard that the explosive talisman is powerful enough to destroy a small mountain. If you get caught in it, you'll be badly injured, if not killed."

"Let's stay away from each other to avoid getting caught in the crossfire."

Everyone nodded in agreement, deciding to stay away from the center of the explosion and observe the situation.

……

The moment the explosion rang out, Bai Ruoan, Shen Ruoyu, and Shen Ruoning instinctively mobilized all their soul power and quickly dodged in different directions.

Shen Ruoyu and Shen Ruoning reacted quickly and narrowly escaped the shockwave of the explosion, but Bai Ruoan was a step too slow and was hit by the aftershocks. She felt as if her internal organs had been shattered, and she was in excruciating pain.

"Brother." Shen Ruoning gripped Shen Ruoyu's sleeve tightly, her face pale and her voice trembling, "Mother...will Mother be alright?"

Such a huge explosion, my mother...

Shen Ruoning's dark eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Shen Ruoyu with pleading eyes, as if seeking a sliver of comfort.

Shen Ruoyu grasped Shen Ruoning's cold little hand in return, trying her best to appear calm, and said firmly, "No, don't be afraid, Ningbao. Mommy is so strong, everything will be alright!"

Despite saying that, his small hands were clenched into fists, showing his current worry.

The shock of the explosion made his blood surge, and a mouthful of blood rose to his throat, but he didn't bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked up in the direction of Shen Yunxi with a heart full of worry.
