The battle raged like a surging, violent tide, growing increasingly fierce. The Dark Creatures and the mysterious figures operated like a seamless evil legion, coordinating flawlessly as they launched wave after wave of overwhelming attacks against Lin Yu and his companions. Though they harbored unwavering resolve and fought back with every ounce of their strength, the crushing pressure mounted steadily, making them feel increasingly overmatched.

Every swing felt as though it required every last ounce of his strength, yet it barely managed to fend off the enemy's assault. The Black-robed Man already bore several startling wounds from the intense battle, and bright red blood trickled out, staining his black garments a deeper shade.

Meanwhile, during the recent clash, Wuji had accidentally been struck by a vicious Dark Force as insidious as a viper; his body shuddered as if hit by lightning, and a trickle of blood slowly spilled from the corner of his mouth, staining the front of his tunic.
