The Black-robed Leader led his subordinates forward like a surging tide. The evil aura radiating from them instantly filled the hall, threatening to turn the place into an abyss of darkness. Su Yao gripped the Ancient Divine Artifact—which emitted a blue glow and was believed to command the Power of Time—and turned to face the enemy with a resolute gaze. She held onto one singular conviction: protect the artifact and never let it fall into evil hands.
Lin Yu brandished his Spiritual Power Sword, its blade shining brilliantly as he charged first into the ranks of the black-robed men. His swordsmanship was fierce and swift; every stroke whipped up a storm of spiritual energy, weaving a web of sword qi that sent the approaching enemies reeling back. Though struck, the men in black seemed to feel no pain, mindlessly swarming toward Lin Yu in an attempt to overwhelm him with sheer numbers.
Leng Xuan wove hand seals rapidly, gathering Ice-attribute Spiritual Power in his palms until it formed sharp icicles that rained down upon the attackers. Wherever the icicles landed, the black-robed men were frozen, their movements sluggish. Yet, there were simply too many, and they charged in wave after wave, making it impossible for Leng Xuan's ice techniques to hold them back entirely.
