"Ah..." Ning Yu couldn't help but let out a painful groan, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, refusing to faint. He knew that success or failure hinged on this moment, and he absolutely could not fall!
"Insufficient energy, startup failed! Insufficient energy, startup failed..." The system's cold voice echoed in Ning Yu's mind like a series of death knells.
"Energy, energy..." Ning Yu's brain was racing. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he looked up at the sky outside the light barrier.
"I'll risk it all!" Ning Yu gritted his teeth and began to mobilize the massive flow of information in his mind, guiding the energy outside the light shield to converge towards him.
What is he going to do?
"Oh no! Stop him!"
The enemy leader seemed to realize Ning Yu's intentions, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted sharply.
However, it was too late...
"boom!"
A massive golden pillar of light shot into the sky, piercing the clouds and turning the entire sky gold...
"Ning Yu!" From afar, Mu Xue, who had been watching the situation closely, turned pale upon seeing this and rushed towards Ning Yu without hesitation...
The golden pillar of light resembled a bridge connecting heaven and earth, radiating a devastating pressure. Mu Xue stopped in her tracks. She sensed a familiar aura within this energy—the power of Ning Yu, only stronger than ever before, so powerful that it made her heart tremble.
“Boss, he…” Lei Bao covered his still bleeding arm, staring incredulously at the beam of light, muttering to himself.
"It's the leader! The leader isn't dead yet!"
"We're saved!"
The surviving team members erupted in cheers, and the flame of hope was rekindled in their previously despairing eyes.
"Everyone, follow me to establish a defensive line and cover the leader!" A resolute glint flashed in Mu Xue's eyes as she raised her arm and shouted. She knew that now was not the time to relax. Although Ning Yu had unleashed his power, the situation was still critical, and they had to buy him time.
"Yes!" the team members responded in unison, their voices filled with strength.
Mu Xue quickly organized the remaining team members to form a temporary defensive perimeter in an attempt to reduce casualties, but the enemy surged in like a tide, constantly assaulting the crumbling defensive perimeter.
"Damn it, are they out of their minds?" one of the team members said through gritted teeth, constantly waving his weapon and repelling wave after wave of enemies.
"They want to take care of us before the leader has fully recovered!" another team member said in a deep voice.
"Stop talking nonsense, hold on! Even if we die, we'll take a few of them down with us!" Lei Bao roared. His wounds were still bleeding, but he seemed not to feel the pain and continued to fight fiercely.
Mu Xue, wielding two sharp daggers, weaved through the crowd, each strike claiming a life. She was the team's strongest fighter and their pillar of strength; as long as she was there, the team would not fall.
"Aaaaaah!" Ning Yu roared in agony within the golden pillar of light. His body felt as if it were being torn apart, the excruciating pain almost causing him to lose consciousness. But he knew he couldn't give up; he had to succeed!
"Activate the hiding function, activate the hiding function..." Ning Yu repeated in his mind over and over again, guiding the energy in his body to continuously impact the system's barriers.
"Ding! Hidden function successfully activated!"
Finally, thanks to Ning Yu's tireless efforts, the system's hidden function was activated.
The formation trapping Ning Yu let out a loud bang as it could no longer bear the strain, and a crack appeared.
"Break!" Ning Yu roared, and golden energy poured out like a flood breaking through a dam, instantly shattering the entire formation.
"Oh no! His power has returned! Stop him!" The enemy leader, who had been watching Ning Yu closely, shouted loudly, his expression changing drastically.
Ning Yu slowly emerged from the golden light, his eyes gleaming with golden light. A terrifying pressure emanated from him, chilling everyone present to the bone.
“Next, it’s my turn…” Ning Yu’s lips curled into a cold smile as he slowly raised his right hand. “Xue’er, step back.”
"Boom!" As if sensing the threat, the formation suddenly contracted the golden pillar of light, and then erupted with even more ferocity, as if it wanted to completely devour Ning Yu.
"Boss!" Lei Bao's eyes were bloodshot, and he wanted to rush forward without thinking, but Mu Xue grabbed him.
"Don't be impulsive! Trust him!" Although Mu Xue's voice was calm, her clenched fists betrayed her inner anxiety.
Within the golden pillar of light, Ning Yu groaned. The mysterious energy, like a leech, relentlessly eroded his body. He felt his consciousness gradually fading, and every bone in his body groaning under the unbearable pressure.
"Trying to devour me? Not so easy!" Ning Yu gritted his teeth, forcing out these words. He wouldn't give up, and he wouldn't fall here! His companions were waiting for him, and he had more important things to do!
"System! Full power, break through!" Ning Yu roared in his heart, mobilizing all his power to frantically attack the binding layer.
"Warning! Warning! System energy is about to run out! Please host as soon as possible..." The system's cold notification sounded in Ning Yu's mind, but he impatiently interrupted it.
"Enough talk! Break it!"
As Ning Yu roared, the golden light around him became even more dazzling, and his earth-shattering pressure rose accordingly, even overshadowing the energy fluctuations of the formation.
"Click...click..."
Cracks began to appear on the surface of the formation, spreading rapidly like a spider web.
Sensing Ning Yu's change, the enemy leader's expression turned extremely grim. "How is this possible! How could he possibly break through again?!"
"Reinforce the formation! We absolutely cannot let him out!" he roared hysterically, mobilizing all his power and frantically pouring it into the formation.
However, all of this was in vain.
With a deafening roar, the formation finally succumbed to Ning Yu's impact and shattered.
As the golden light faded, Ning Yu's figure appeared before everyone. He was dressed in rags and covered in blood, but his eyes were brighter than ever, as if they contained a flame capable of burning everything.
"Now it's my turn." Ning Yu slowly raised his head, a cold smile curving his lips.
