Those eyes were utterly cold, devoid of any emotion, yet they revealed an indescribable depth and sharpness, as if they could see through everything.

"How did you break in?" The mysterious man's voice remained icy and devoid of any emotion.

Ye Ying clenched her fists tightly, her teeth grinding together, veins bulging on her forehead. Her eyes widened, and she said firmly, "This really is just a misunderstanding! We absolutely didn't mean any harm!"

Upon hearing this, the mysterious man let out a contemptuous laugh:

"Ha! A misunderstanding? You ignorant fools have ruined my carefully planned experiment over the years, and now you have the nerve to tell me it's a misunderstanding? How absurd!"

Ji Wuchen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. His gaze was sharp as he calmly analyzed the situation: "You must be the owner of this place. We don't want to make enemies with you. We've only come here to find a key clue that can help us escape. If you're kind enough to let us go, we can all live in peace from now on."

The mysterious man remained silent, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heavy, as silent as death.

After a while, the mysterious man said coldly, "Leaving here isn't impossible; the clue lies in this mysterious machine. However... don't think you can take it easily. Either defeat me by any means necessary, or you'll be trapped here forever with no hope of escape!"

Before he could finish speaking, the mysterious man trembled, and a terrifyingly powerful aura erupted from him, rushing towards Ye Ying and the others like a surging wave.

In an instant, the sky darkened, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a thrilling battle was about to begin!

Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen exchanged a tacit glance, both seeing an unprecedented determination and resolve in each other's eyes. They knew in their hearts that there were only two paths before them—life or death!

However, neither of them showed any sign of backing down. Instead, they simultaneously unleashed their true energy and used their unique skills to launch a fierce attack on the mysterious man without fear, thus officially beginning this life-or-death struggle!

In an instant, a strong wind arose, and fists and palms clashed, attacking like a sudden storm.

The mysterious man was agile and possessed unfathomable martial arts skills. Every move he made was full of hidden tricks, making him difficult to defend against.

Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen suddenly felt the pressure increase and were caught in a predicament.

Fortunately, they were both seasoned veterans, had a tacit understanding, and cooperated seamlessly.

Whether they attacked or defended, they complemented each other and gradually figured out how to fight the enemy.

In the heat of battle, Ye Ying seized the opportunity and suddenly kicked out, striking the mysterious man in the chest.

Caught off guard, the mysterious man staggered back a few steps, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Seeing that the situation was not good, how could Ji Wuchen miss this good opportunity?

With a flash, he approached the mysterious man like a ghost, clapping his hands together and unleashing a fierce palm technique.

The mysterious man was forced to retreat repeatedly, looking quite disheveled.

Unexpectedly, the mysterious man was no ordinary person either. After a slight adjustment, he regained his footing, re-established his stance, and launched another fierce attack.

And so, both sides displayed their skills, exchanging blows and fighting fiercely until neither side could gain the upper hand.

The atmosphere was extremely tense at this moment, as if a small spark could ignite a raging fire.
