Watching Ning Yu being knocked down time and time again, Mu Xue felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart tightly, almost suffocating her. She knew Ning Yu's character; he would never give up until the very last moment. But she couldn't just stand by and watch him go to his death.
"There must be another way..." Mu Xue forced herself to calm down, her gaze quickly scanning the warehouse, trying to find anything she could use. Suddenly, her eyes fell on a pile of junk in the corner of the warehouse. It was some special metal they had found when they were cleaning the warehouse earlier. This metal was extremely hard, and even attacks from superhumans could hardly leave a mark on it.
"This is it!" A glimmer of hope flashed in Mu Xue's eyes. She immediately called to several team members to move the metal to a relatively safe place.
“You cut these metals into…” Mu Xue said, gesturing as she spoke, “Yes, like this, into spikes!”
Although the team members did not understand Mu Xue's intentions, they knew that now was not the time to hesitate. They carried out Mu Xue's orders without hesitation, quickly cutting and polishing the metal, and soon simple metal spikes were made.
"Ning Yu, catch!" Mu Xue threw a metal spike at Ning Yu forcefully. "Use this!"
Ning Yu subconsciously caught what Mu Xue threw at him. When he saw what it was, he was stunned for a moment, and then a look of realization flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, I understand!" Ning Yu took a deep breath and poured his supernatural power into the metal spikes. The originally dull metal spikes instantly burst into a dazzling energy light, like sharp energy blades.
"Come on!" Ning Yu gripped the metal spike tightly, his eyes filled with determination. He charged towards the distorted light and shadow once more. This time, he no longer pursued speed and power, but focused all his attention on the metal spike in his hand, sensing the subtle changes between it and that invisible force…
"Watch out!" Just as Ning Yu was about to give up, Mu Xue and her team arrived with makeshift weapons. Their arrival gave Ning Yu new hope and laid the groundwork for the next counterattack. However, no one knew what other powerful abilities this unknown thing possessed. Suddenly, the distorted light and shadow began to tremble violently, and the next second...
...The next second, the distorted light and shadow suddenly exploded, turning into countless tiny specks of light that scattered in all directions! Ning Yu was the first to be hit, and was forced to retreat by the powerful shockwave, a metallic taste rising in his throat.
"Captain!" the team members exclaimed and rushed forward to help Ning Yu.
"I'm fine..." Ning Yu waved his hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked up at the place where the light and shadow exploded, his eyes full of solemnity.
Although the light and shadow had disappeared, the crisis was not over. A strange energy fluctuation permeated the warehouse, making people's hearts tremble.
"Watch out!" Mu Xue suddenly felt a deadly threat. Without thinking, she tackled Ning Yu to the ground and shouted a warning.
The next moment, sharp black spikes suddenly emerged from the previously empty ground. These spikes appeared without warning and moved with lightning speed, making them impossible to defend against.
Ning Yu and Mu Xue managed to dodge in time, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow, but the other team members were not so lucky. Several screams rang out as several team members who could not dodge in time were pierced by black spikes, and blood splattered everywhere.
"Damn it!" Ning Yu's eyes were bloodshot. These black spikes were covered with a strange energy that could quickly devour life force. Even if the team members who were stabbed had superpowers, they were powerless to resist, and their life force was rapidly draining away.
"Quick, pull them back!" Mu Xue made a decisive decision, directing the other team members to drag the injured team members to a safe area.
“It’s no use…” a team member, whose chest was pierced by black spikes, said weakly, “This energy… cannot be dispelled…”
Ning Yu gritted his teeth. He knew this was not the time for grief; he had to find a solution as soon as possible, or everyone would die here.
"Mu Xue, you take the others and retreat first. I'll cover the rear!" Ning Yu said decisively.
"No, we'll go together!" Mu Xue shook her head firmly; she would never abandon Ning Yu to escape alone.
"Listen to me!" Ning Yu shouted sternly, "You'll only be a burden if you stay here!"
Mu Xue was about to say something when Ning Yu interrupted her, "Trust me, I definitely have a way to solve this!"
Looking into Ning Yu's determined eyes, Mu Xue finally nodded. She knew Ning Yu was right; her staying here would only distract him.
"Brothers, let's retreat!" Mu Xue took a deep breath and led the other team members in a fight-and-retreat, breaking through towards the warehouse gate.
Ning Yu watched Mu Xue and the others leave, his eyes filled with worry. But he knew this was not the time for sentimentality; he had to concentrate on dealing with the crisis at hand.
He took a deep breath, channeling his supernatural power to its limit, and a long sword crackling with lightning appeared out of thin air in his hand.
"Come on!" Ning Yu roared, charging towards the black spikes...
"Ning Yu, catch!" A familiar voice rang out behind him. Ning Yu turned around abruptly, and saw...
