Witnessing this, Su Yu's face instantly turned as pale as frost, completely devoid of color. His pupils contracted sharply, and his heart was filled with terror and shock.

The blade tore through the air with a rushing sound as he desperately tried to fend off the ferocious attack.

Every time they collided with the sword, a dull thud echoed out, and the immense rebound instantly numbed his arms, making them feel as though they had lost all sensation. Yet, in this moment of life and death, how could he dare show the slightest slack? Beads of sweat as large as beans rolled down his forehead, but his gaze remained resolute as he stared fixedly at the crazily advancing vines.
