After passing through that strange energy barrier, Ning Yu and the others seemed to enter a world of light. Soft light filled the entire space, dispelling the previous chill, but bringing an indescribable sense of oppression.

Ning Yu endured the burning pain in his fingertips as he gently laid the unconscious teammate down, his brow furrowed. The light, seemingly harmless, contained a violent energy; a slight misstep could result in burns. He tried to construct a protective shield using his special ability, but found it suppressed in this area, completely unusable.

"Cough cough..." Mu Xue suddenly coughed, her face growing even paler. The injuries she had sustained in the lightning zone had not only failed to improve, but had worsened under the light. She gritted her teeth, trying not to groan in pain, but Ning Yu still noticed something was wrong.

"How are you?" Ning Yu quickly helped her up and asked with concern.

"I'm fine..." Mu Xue shook her head, her voice weak, "It's just that this light... makes me feel very uncomfortable..."

Ning Yu looked around and found that the other team members were also in dire straits. The long battle and energy depletion had already exhausted them, and now, under this eerie light, their condition was only worsened.

We must find a safe area as soon as possible!

Ning Yu was extremely anxious. He tried to move towards areas with dimmer light, hoping to find a safe passage. However, no matter where he went, the scorching sensation followed him relentlessly, as if the entire space was shrouded in this eerie light.

Time ticked by, and hope dwindled. Just when Ning Yu was about to despair, he suddenly sensed a faint energy fluctuation emanating from the depths of the light.

“That is…” Ning Yu’s heart skipped a beat, as if he had grasped the last straw. He immediately signaled everyone to move closer to the direction from which the energy fluctuations were coming from.

However, just as they took a few steps, the originally soft light suddenly began to flicker violently, and the surrounding temperature rose sharply, as if they were in a furnace.

"Not good!" Ning Yu's heart sank, a sense of foreboding washing over him. Before he could react, he saw...

...and from the depths of that light, blurry human-shaped figures emerged.

These figures, wielding weapons formed from pure energy, launched a fierce attack on Ning Yu and the others with chilling killing intent.

"Defense!" Ning Yu roared, shielding Mu Xue behind him while gathering his last bit of supernatural power to form a thin energy barrier around himself.

Boom! The energy weapon slammed into the barrier, creating a deafening explosion. Ning Yu felt a tremendous force strike him, sending him flying backward. A sweet taste rose in his throat, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Ning Yu!" Mu Xue exclaimed, rushing over to support the swaying Ning Yu.

The others weren't faring much better. Confined to the small space, they could only desperately dodge the attacks of light and shadow, utterly powerless to retaliate. Each strike from the energy weapon felt like a heavy hammer blow, slowly stripping away their remaining strength and hope.

"Captain, this won't do, we'll be worn down!" A team member said, his arm grazed by an energy weapon, his skin torn and blood staining his sleeve.

"Hold on!" Ning Yu gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot. He knew all too well how critical his situation was, but faced with these seemingly intangible, tireless lights and shadows, he couldn't find any effective way to deal with them.

Are we going to be wiped out here?

No, he will never give up!

Ning Yu endured the excruciating pain, his eyes fixed on the flickering light and shadow, his mind racing, trying to find a flaw in their scheme.

He noticed that although the attacks of these lights and shadows were swift, they were not without pattern. After each attack, their bodies would pause briefly, as if accumulating energy.

"Now!" Ning Yu's heart skipped a beat. Seizing this fleeting opportunity, he abruptly stood up. "Everyone, listen to my command! During the brief lull in their attacks, concentrate your firepower on the same target!" Ning Yu shouted hoarsely, his tone filled with determination.

The team members received their orders, roused themselves, and focused intently on the flickering lights. They knew this was their last hope; failure meant utter destruction.

Finally, after completing an attack, the figure paused briefly.

"Now! Attack!" Ning Yu roared, condensing the last bit of his supernatural power into an energy blade and slashing fiercely at the figure of light.

The other team members also attacked simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of supernatural attacks that poured down on the figure of light.

boom!

After a loud bang, the light and shadow were blasted into a dim light, as if it had been severely damaged.

However, before they could even feel happy, a chilling scene unfolded. The light and shadow began to slowly twist and deform, eventually reforming itself as if nothing had happened.

"How is this possible?!" one of the team members exclaimed, his face filled with despair.

Just then, Mu Xue, who had been observing the battlefield, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if she had discovered something.

"Sound! They react to sound!" Mu Xue pointed at the light and shadow that were reforming and shouted, "When Ning Yu shouted just now, I noticed a slight fluctuation in their bodies!"

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope ignited in Ning Yu's eyes.
