From cannon fodder villain to superpowered queen

A dark barrier silently appeared, tightly enveloping Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan.

The surrounding space instantly became extremely oppressive, as if countless invisible chains were binding their movements.

The darkness was as black as ink, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face, with only occasional eerie flashes of light punctuating the darkness, sending chills down one's spine.

Bi Yao's face darkened, and her wise eyes gleamed with unwavering determination in the darkness.

She quickly sensed her surroundings, trying to find a clue to break the deadlock.

Jiang Ruiyuan gripped her hand tightly, and the two exchanged a glance, their vigilance instantly rising to its peak.

"Don't panic, we'll find a solution together." Jiang Ruiyuan's voice was steady and powerful, but a hint of tension could not be hidden in his tone.

He held Bi Yao's hand tightly, as if giving her endless courage.

The atmosphere within the dark barrier grew increasingly tense, and the two figures appeared exceptionally resolute in the darkness.

The black dragon hovered above the barrier, its deep roar echoing in the air, as if waiting for something.

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan both turned their gazes to the black dragon, secretly on guard.

“Try attacking the barrier with your power,” Jiang Ruiyuan suggested. He clenched his fists, and his body emitted a faint light, a sign that his power had awakened.

Without hesitation, he punched the barrier, hoping to find a flaw in the invisible darkness.

However, each attack seemed to sink without a trace; the barrier not only did not break, but became even stronger.

The light flickered on the surface of the barrier, and after absorbing Jiang Ruiyuan's power, the light became even more dazzling.

The aura of darkness thus became even more intense, as if the entire barrier was responding to his attack.

"Damn it!" Jiang Ruiyuan cursed inwardly, feeling a sense of powerlessness welling up from the bottom of his heart.

The continuous attacks not only had no effect, but actually made the barrier even stronger.

He frowned, quickly thinking of a solution.

"The barrier seems to have the ability to absorb power. We must find another way," Bi Yao said in a deep voice. Although her voice was calm, her anxiety was palpable.

She closed her eyes, trying her best to sense everything around her, attempting to find a flaw in the barrier.

Inside the barrier, the darkness grew thicker and thicker, as if countless eyes were watching them from the shadows.

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan stood side by side, each holding firm to their own beliefs.

The black dragon's deep roars echoed endlessly, as if mocking their powerlessness.

Just then, Bi Yao suddenly stopped, her brow twitching slightly. "I sense something different," she said softly, a hint of excitement in her voice.

Bi Yao slowly closed her eyes, and a faint silver halo emanated from her body, a symbol of the awakening of her special physique.

The subtle light rippled outwards like waves, illuminating her focused and resolute profile.

She is like a sophisticated radar, capturing every minute energy fluctuation in the surrounding space.

Within the dark barrier, the rampant dark energy seemed to be parted by her, gradually revealing the hidden patterns deep within.

Standing to the side, Jiang Ruiyuan saw the light emanating from Bi Yao and a flame of hope ignited in his eyes.

He knew that Bi Yao's special abilities always brought unexpected surprises, and this time, it might be the key to breaking the deadlock for them.

"I found it!" Bi Yao suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes shining with confidence. "This barrier is not invincible. The energy flow in its northwest direction is significantly weaker than in other places. That's the breakthrough point!" Her tone was firm, as if she could already see the dawn of victory.

“Alright, let’s attack there together!” Jiang Ruiyuan responded without hesitation. He clenched his fists, his power surging again, like a lurking beast ready to unleash earth-shattering power at any moment.

The two men stood back to back and launched a fierce attack simultaneously towards the northwest.

However, just as their attack was about to touch the barrier, a group of menacing ghosts suddenly emerged from the darkness.

They were like demons from hell, exuding a sinister and terrifying aura, emitting chilling screams as if they wanted to tear everything around them to shreds.

These dark phantoms were incredibly fast, and in an instant, they surrounded Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan.

"Damn it, what the hell is this?!" Jiang Ruiyuan couldn't help but curse as he waved his fists, trying to drive away the ghosts.

But these ghosts seemed ethereal and intangible, and his attacks were like hitting cotton, having no effect whatsoever.

The dark phantoms emitted eerie howls, constantly assaulting their defenses and attempting to devour them into endless darkness.

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan tried their best to resist the ghosts' attacks, but these ghosts were numerous and difficult to completely eliminate, making them feel that they were in a desperate situation.

Nevertheless, they did not give up.

Just as they were struggling to keep up with the dark phantoms, Bi Yao suddenly felt that familiar warm current surge through her body again, and she felt as if her strength had increased once more.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, a mysterious smile playing on her lips: "Perhaps, I have a surprise for them..."

Imprisoned in Shadows, Breaking the Impasse

Within the dark barrier, dark phantoms surged in like a tide, completely surrounding Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan.

The ghosts let out shrill cries, as if they wanted to tear everything apart.

Jiang Ruiyuan swung his fists, but these ghosts seemed ethereal and intangible; his attacks were like hitting cotton, having no effect whatsoever.

The darkness grew increasingly intense, as if it were about to completely engulf them.

Just then, Bi Yao suddenly felt that familiar warm current surge through her body again.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, a mysterious smile playing on her lips: "Perhaps, I have a surprise for them..."

A faint silver light began to emanate from her body, as if the stars in the night sky had suddenly lit up.

The light grew brighter and brighter, like a bright lamp lit in the darkness, illuminating the surrounding dark ghosts so that they had nowhere to hide.

Bi Yao closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and sensed the dark power emanating from the Dark Ghost.

"Come on, suck them all in!" she shouted softly, and the silver light around her body instantly became scorching hot, as if countless silver threads were extending outward, sucking in the dark ghosts one by one.

The ghosts screamed in terror and struggled desperately, but to no avail.

Their dark power was continuously absorbed by Bi Yao and transformed into her own energy.

A satisfied smile appeared on Bi Yao's face, and her body began to radiate an even more dazzling light, like a brilliant star blooming in the darkness.

The dark phantoms gradually dissipated under the light, turning into starlight, and finally vanished without a trace.

The darkness within the barrier diminished, and the surroundings became brighter.

Jiang Ruiyuan held Bi Yao's hand tightly, feeling its warmth and strength, and his heart was filled with relief and pride.

He gently patted the back of her hand and whispered, "You're amazing, Bi Yao. With you here, we're sure to break this deadlock!"

Bi Yao felt a sense of relief as she sensed Jiang Ruiyuan's support.

She looked up at Jiang Ruiyuan, and their eyes met, as if silently conveying their determination and trust to each other.

They stood side by side, supporting each other, ready to meet new challenges.

Just then, a huge dark vortex suddenly appeared inside the barrier, like a bottomless pit, slowly rotating and emitting a low rumbling sound, as if it wanted to completely devour them.

"Are you ready?" Bi Yao's voice was tinged with excitement as she gripped Jiang Ruiyuan's hand tightly, her eyes gleaming with determination.

"Ready at any time!" Jiang Ruiyuan replied firmly. The two exchanged a glance, then took a step forward together, ready to meet the new challenge.
