I. Sword Formation to Defend
Xue Yao’s expression was grim as she gripped her sword. Her gaze swiftly swept across the battlefield, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind. With a sudden swing of her sword, she began to activate the secret sword formation passed down from the Sword Immortal Pavilion. As she moved, sword energy surged, and the surrounding air instantly solidified into numerous sword lights. Each of these sword lights radiated sharpness, like a torrential rain, howling as it surged toward the purple-robed man.
The sword lights quickly intertwined to form a massive sword formation, resembling a sharp barrier, attempting to block the Yuan Dan Realm expert’s attack trajectory. The purple-robed man’s eyes flashed with surprise, clearly not having expected the Sword Immortal Pavilion to possess such a formidable array.
However, faced with the pressure of a Yuan Dan expert, the power of the sword formation seemed insignificant. The purple-robed man scoffed, his hands raised in a thunderous strike, easily shattering several sword lights. Although the sword formation briefly caused some obstruction, it was still unable to withstand the Yuan Dan expert’s law power.
"Such a pity," the purple-robed man said flatly, but his words were laced with endless disdain. "This little trick cannot shake me."
II. The Resurgence of Dark Power
A flash of determination passed through Lin Ye’s eyes. He felt his demonic energy rapidly depleting. Although Xue Yao's sword formation had temporarily stopped the purple-robed man’s attacks, their strength and demonic energy were nearly exhausted. If they continued like this, defeat was inevitable.
"We can’t do this! We can’t give up!" Lin Ye silently roared in his heart. He knew that at this critical moment, he had to summon his most powerful strength.
He closed his eyes and focused his mind, attempting to once again draw on the dark demonic power that had long been suppressed within him. This dark force surged in his body like a wild beast awakening from slumber, filled with uncontrollable rage and fury. Lin Ye could almost feel his blood boiling as his demonic energy and dark power violently clashed inside him, eventually merging into an overwhelming force.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and they gleamed with cold light. The power within him erupted, flooding his limbs and bones, causing his momentum to soar. His body grew larger, and his demonic energy surged, resembling a ferocious beast charging toward the purple-robed man.
However, despite the activation of his dark power, Lin Ye still found the force insufficient to completely break through the Yuan Dan Realm expert’s defense. The purple-robed man’s Yuan Dan energy effortlessly dissipated Lin Ye’s attack. He sneered, raising a hand to strike Lin Ye with a single palm.
III. Severely Injured
Lin Ye’s body was sent flying like a broken tree, crashing hard into the ground. Intense pain radiated throughout his body. He gritted his teeth, forcing himself to stand, but his injuries were severe. His demonic energy had been drained, and his dark power hadn’t fully merged. His physical strength was nearing its limit.
At this point, Xue Yao was also struggling. Her face was pale, her injuries beginning to show as blood stained her clothes. She swung her sword again, trying to buy Lin Ye some time, but her sword energy had slowed, and every swing seemed to draw excruciating pain from her wounds.
"Lin Ye, we can’t keep going…" Xue Yao’s voice was hoarse and low, her eyes filled with helplessness and pain.
"Just a little longer…" Lin Ye forced himself to endure the pain, striving to remain calm. "We have to hold on. We can’t let these innocent people suffer any more harm."
But the purple-robed man showed no sign of mercy, slowly advancing with each step like the judgment of hell, bringing with it an unavoidable death aura. Lin Ye and Xue Yao had nearly lost all ability to resist, and the purple-robed man’s attack was drawing near.
