From cannon fodder villain to superpowered queen

The boundless darkness instantly swallowed the light, as if a giant monster had opened its blood-red maw, ready to completely engulf Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan.

The surroundings were deathly silent, and even the air felt thick and suffocating.

A sense of oppression washed over me like a tidal wave, as if I were in the deep sea, surrounded by invisible pressure.

In the darkness, Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan stood back to back, cautiously looking around.

Their nerves were taut, like a bowstring drawn taut, ready to fire a fatal arrow at any moment.

Bi Yao's delicate eyebrows were furrowed, and her eyes flashed with a sharp light, like a cheetah ready to pounce.

Jiang Ruiyuan abandoned his usual gentle demeanor, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, radiating a powerful aura, like a drawn sword, its edge fully revealed.

"coming!

"Bi Yao whispered, and as soon as she finished speaking, a dark shadow appeared from the darkness like a ghost, bringing a suffocating sense of oppression.

Her body reacted instinctively, and she grabbed Jiang Ruiyuan beside her, barely dodging the fatal blow.

"boom!

"The dark shadow struck the ground, instantly creating a deep crater and sending debris flying, demonstrating its immense power."

If Bi Yao hadn't reacted quickly, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"You little brat, you've even learned to launch sneak attacks?" Jiang Ruiyuan's lips curled into a cold smile. As he raised his hand, a dazzling light pierced the darkness like a sharp sword, striking the sneak-attacking shadow.

Where the light passed, the darkness receded, and the shadowy figure was forced to reveal its true form—the elemental behemoth.

It let out an angry roar, its enormous body appearing even more ferocious and terrifying under the light.

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan worked together seamlessly, one retreating and the other advancing, one defending and the other attacking; they were simply a match made in heaven.

They were like dancers on the battlefield, gracefully moving in the darkness, each attack perfectly timed, each defense impenetrable.

"Keep going! This thing is afraid of light!" Bi Yao shouted a warning while dodging the elemental behemoth's attacks.

"Received!" Jiang Ruiyuan once again gathered light elements, and beams of light poured down on the elemental behemoth like raindrops.

The elemental behemoth was forced to retreat by the light, letting out painful howls.

The pace of the battle is accelerating, and the clash of energy is becoming increasingly intense.

Suddenly, Bi Yao felt a wave of weakness wash over her.

She glanced at Jiang Ruiyuan instinctively and noticed that his face was also somewhat pale.

"Something feels off..." Jiang Ruiyuan said, his voice carrying a barely perceptible weakness.

Bi Yao was about to say something when she felt her throat go dry and a kind of indescribable discomfort.

"This darkness... it's something else!"

Bi Yao felt as if all her strength had been drained, and her steps became heavy, as if she were walking on cotton.

She turned to look at Jiang Ruiyuan and found that he was in no better shape. His once upright posture was now slightly hunched, and fine beads of sweat were seeping from his forehead.

"This darkness feels a bit like... the feeling of having a bad Wi-Fi signal and not being able to connect to the internet," Bi Yao joked, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

Jiang Ruiyuan forced a smile, but it looked worse than crying: "Yaoyao, stop it. This thing is even scarier than my mom's incessant nagging."

Every step they took became incredibly difficult, as if they were stuck in a quagmire, and the more they struggled, the deeper they sank.

The dark energy, like a persistent, insidious disease, relentlessly eroded their bodies and devoured their power.

Bi Yao felt her consciousness begin to blur, the world in front of her became distorted, and a buzzing sound filled her ears, as if a thousand bees were flying around.

Jiang Ruiyuan's condition was also not optimistic. His breathing became rapid, his face was as pale as paper, and his lips had lost their color.

"Yaoyao..." Jiang Ruiyuan's voice was so weak it was almost inaudible, "I...I think I'm not going to make it..."

"What discouraging talk! You're my top support player, how can you fall down!" Bi Yao gritted her teeth and forced herself to stand up straight. "We're going to reach the pinnacle of life together, and we're only at the beginning!"

However, the erosion by the dark energy became increasingly severe, and their bodies had reached their limits.

Bi Yao felt her consciousness gradually fading away, and the scene before her eyes becoming increasingly blurry.

Just when she was about to give up, Jiang Ruiyuan pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.

"Yaoyao, I'm sorry, I... I might have to break my promise..." Jiang Ruiyuan's voice trembled, tinged with despair.

With her last bit of strength, Bi Yao hugged him tightly, feeling his warm body temperature.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here..." Bi Yao whispered in his ear, her voice weak but full of determination.

Just then, a miracle happened.

The moment the two embraced, a powerful energy erupted from their bodies.

This energy was warm and bright, like the winter sun, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness.

The dark energy roared as if it had encountered its nemesis, and quickly dissipated.

"This...this is..." Jiang Ruiyuan stared at the scene in astonishment, feeling his body filled with power.

Bi Yao also felt this powerful force. She raised her head, looked at Jiang Ruiyuan, and her eyes flashed with an unusual light.

"It seems we've finally mastered our combined attack..." The elemental monster, who had been incredibly arrogant and domineering under the cover of darkness, was now completely dumbfounded, like a keyboard warrior whose internet cable had been unplugged.

Its massive body trembled violently, emitting mournful roars, like a headless fly that had lost its backbone, running around aimlessly.

Good heavens, he was so arrogant just now, but now he's so cowardly. He's truly "a fallen phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken"!

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity to kick a man when he's down.

They exchanged a glance, and a confident smile simultaneously appeared on their lips.

"Brother, get ready to unleash your ultimate move!" Jiang Ruiyuan shouted excitedly.

“I’ll arrange it!” Bi Yao replied, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

The two worked in perfect harmony, simultaneously gathering the surging power within them into their palms. The dazzling light shone like two rising suns, illuminating the entire world.

The two beams of light gradually merged, forming an even more dazzling energy wave, containing world-destroying power, as if it would devour everything.

"Take this, you old bastard!" Bi Yao shouted, hurling the energy wave from her hand.

The energy wave, like an arrow released from a bow, pierced the sky with overwhelming force, striking the elemental monster directly.

With a deafening roar, the world seemed to change color.

Under the powerful energy impact, the elemental monster instantly turned to ashes, transforming into specks of starlight that dissipated into the air.

The world seemed to stand still at that moment, with only the dazzling light slowly dissipating in the air.

As the smoke cleared, Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan stood proudly, basking in the glory of victory.

They emanated powerful energy fluctuations, like gods descending, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at them.

At this moment, they are the center of the world, the focus of everyone's attention.

The world cheered for them and applauded them!

"Yaoyao, it seems we've... made headlines again." Jiang Ruiyuan looked at the cheering crowd around him, a nonchalant smile playing on his lips.

Bi Yao smiled mysteriously and said softly, "This is just the beginning, the real show is yet to come..." She looked up into the distance, her gaze deep, as if she could see a more distant future...
