As soon as Lin Yu and Su Yao got into a fighting stance, the leading black - armored warrior swung the long knife in his hand and rushed towards Lin Yu like a black bolt of lightning. Lin Yu didn't dare to be careless. He gathered his spiritual power in his sword and met this fierce blow. With a loud "clang", sparks flew everywhere. Lin Yu's arm went numb from the powerful impact, and he took several steps back.
Taking advantage of the moment when the black - armored warrior was attacking Lin Yu, Su Yao quickly cast a water - based spell. A wall of ice rose from the ground, temporarily separating Lin Yu from the black - armored warrior. Seeing this, the other black - armored warriors came around from both sides, the weapons in their hands glinting with cold light. Su Yao then quickly cast the Water Dragon Spell. A crystal - - clear water dragon roared and charged towards the black - armored warriors on both sides.
The water dragon hit the black - armored warriors, splashing water everywhere, but it didn't cause any real damage to them. The black - armored warriors didn't care and continued to approach steadily. Lin Yu steadied himself, seized the right moment, and injected the fire - attribute spiritual power into his sword, making the flames on the sword burn more fiercely. Just as the ice wall was about to break, he leaped into the air and stabbed fiercely at the black - armored warrior directly in front of him.
The black - armored warrior raised his long knife to block. Lin Yu's strike contained a powerful force of flames, directly heating the long knife until it turned red. The black - armored warrior, in pain, subconsciously let go of his hand. Lin Yu took the opportunity to kick him down, then quickly turned around and stood back - to - back with Su Yao, facing the enemies all around.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the palace was extremely tense. The black - armored warriors formed a encircling formation, slowly shrinking the包围圈. Lin Yu and Su Yao knew they couldn't just wait to be caught. Lin Yu whispered to Su Yao, "I'll take the main attack later. You use supportive spells to disrupt them. We'll try to break through to the stone platform over there." Su Yao nodded to show she understood.
With a loud shout, Lin Yu took the initiative to charge towards the black - armored warriors on the left. He displayed a set of exquisite swordsmanship. The sword moves were like flowing clouds and running water, and the flames danced along with the sword's momentum. For a while, he managed to force back several black - armored warriors. Su Yao, at the back, kept casting spells, sometimes using ice cones to disrupt the enemies' footsteps, and sometimes using water curtains to block their sight.
However, there were so many black - armored warriors, and they coordinated well. Soon, Lin Yu's offensive was suppressed. A black - armored warrior spotted a flaw in Lin Yu and swung his knife at his back. Su Yao, with sharp eyes, quickly shouted, "Lin Yu, watch out!" At the same time, she cast a small earth - based spell, raising a dirt wall behind Lin Yu, blocking this fatal blow.
Lin Yu gave Su Yao a grateful look and continued to fight with all his might. In the intense battle, Lin Yu gradually noticed that although these black - armored warriors were powerful, their movements were a bit stiff, as if following some kind of pattern. As he fought, he observed carefully and finally found their weakness. Every time a black - armored warrior launched a powerful attack, there would be a brief pause.
Lin Yu seized this opportunity and shouted to Su Yao, "Su Yao, when they pause after attacking, we'll launch our most powerful attacks together!" Su Yao understood immediately. Sure enough, moments later, a group of black - armored warriors launched attacks simultaneously. Lin Yu and Su Yao dodged skillfully. Taking advantage of their pause, Lin Yu injected all his spiritual power into his sword, and Su Yao also concentrated all her spiritual power into a powerful water - based beam.
The attacks of the two were launched at the same time. A force of intertwined flames and water light rushed towards the black - armored warriors like a torrential flood. This strike was so powerful that it directly knocked down a large number of black - armored warriors in front, tearing a gap in the encircling formation.
Lin Yu and Su Yao didn't hesitate and rushed towards the stone platform. However, just as they were about to reach the stone platform, the black - armored warriors who had fallen to the ground stood up one after another and chased after them again. At the same time, the palace gates slowly closed, as if trying to trap them to death here.
Lin Yu and Su Yao reached the side of the stone platform. Looking at the ancient sword stuck on the stone platform, they were both shocked and delighted. But the situation was critical at this moment, and they didn't have time to think. Lin Yu reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword, trying to pull it out. However, the sword seemed to be locked by a mysterious force and didn't move at all.
The black - armored warriors were getting closer from behind. While casting spells to stop them, Su Yao anxiously said to Lin Yu, "What should we do? The sword can't be pulled out!" Lin Yu gritted his teeth, increased the output of his spiritual power, and the veins on his forehead bulged. At this critical moment, could the sword be pulled out? And how could Lin Yu and Su Yao get rid of the black - armored warriors chasing closely behind? Everything was hanging in the balance...
Suddenly, the token on Lin Yu's body glowed brightly. The light resonated with the ancient sword in some way. The mysterious force around the sword seemed to be affected and began to loosen. Lin Yu felt the change and pulled again with all his might. Finally, the sword was slowly pulled out by him.
As soon as the sword was drawn, a bright light shot up into the sky, and a powerful force spread out centered around Lin Yu. The black - armored warriors were pushed back by this force. Lin Yu tightly held the sword, feeling the powerful force contained within it. However, before they could catch their breath, the ground of the palace suddenly started to shake, and cracks spread out.
From the cracks, countless black mists gushed out. The mists quickly filled the entire palace, enveloping Lin Yu, Su Yao, and the black - armored warriors. In the mist, strange sounds faintly came, as if countless wronged souls were crying. Lin Yu and Su Yao stood back - to - back vigilantly, not knowing what this sudden change meant. And those black - armored warriors seemed to become more restless in the mist...
