Lin Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Your plan is ridiculous and will never succeed! We will definitely stop you and will not let your conspiracy succeed!" Lin Yu's eyes revealed an unwavering determination. He knew that he had a heavy responsibility and would not let the black-robed man's plan succeed no matter what.
The man in black robe glanced at them with disdain and sneered: "Just you? You are simply trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm. You are overestimating your own abilities. However, I can give you a chance. As long as you leave now, I can show mercy and spare your lives." The man in black robe's tone was full of superior arrogance, as if Lin Yu and Suna were just chess pieces in his hands.
Lin Yu and Suna didn't hesitate at all. They looked at each other and said firmly in unison: "Impossible! We will never let you do whatever you want and hurt innocent people!" Their voices were firm and powerful, resounding throughout the room like a bell, expressing their determination to fight the man in black to the end.
Seeing their determination, the black-robed man's eyes flashed with a fierce gleam, like an enraged beast. "Then don't blame me for being rude! Since you're determined to die, I'll grant your wish!" With that, he quickly formed hand seals with his hands, his fingers dancing like phantoms as he muttered a series of obscure incantations.
Instantly, the entire room seemed to be awakened by a sinister force. Bottles and jars placed around began to shake violently, creating a clanging sound that sounded like a symphony of death. The liquids within overflowed, transforming into streams of colorful smoke that surged towards Lin Yu and Suna like a snarling demon. Wherever these fumes passed, the air seemed to be corroded by a powerful corrosive force, emitting a sizzling sound and accompanied by a pungent odor that made people dizzy.
Seeing this, Lin Yu quickly grabbed Suna's hand and, shouting, "Be careful!", quickly retreated. At the same time, he brandished his sword, which gleamed coldly in the dim light like a flash of silver lightning. He swung it vigorously, trying to disperse the incoming smoke. The sword's light collided with the smoke, sending up dazzling sparks like fireworks blooming in the night sky. But the smoke, like a surging tide, continued to surge forward, showing no sign of dissipating.
Suna hurriedly summoned poisonous insects. They flew out from her sleeves, quickly gathering in the air and emitting a buzzing sound. Like a group of fearless warriors, the insects struggled through the smoke, attempting to approach the black-robed man and attack him. However, the smoke seemed to have a natural inhibitory effect on the insects. The insects struggled in the smoke, as if trapped in an invisible quagmire. Their bodies gradually became sluggish, and some even began to emit faint whimpering sounds. Under the erosion of the smoke, the insects' numbers gradually dwindled.
"There's something strange about this smoke. We can't just fight it head-on." Lin Yu shouted to Suna while dodging the smoke's attack. A solemn expression crossed his face as he quickly pondered a strategy. Sweat soaked his back, but his gaze remained resolute.
Suna watched the dwindling number of poisonous insects with a frantic anxiety, a flicker of worry in her eyes. "What should we do? We'll be trapped if this continues, and the poisonous insects won't last much longer." Suna's voice was filled with anxiety, but she tried to remain calm, hoping that Lin Yu could come up with a solution.
During his frantic evasion, Lin Yu suddenly realized that the smoke seemed to have less impact on the area surrounding the sarcophagus. It was as if that area was an isolated island within the sinister haze, not yet completely engulfed. A thought struck him, as if he had grasped a glimmer of hope in the darkness. He hurriedly said to Suna, "Let's retreat toward the sarcophagus. Perhaps there we can find a way to break through the haze. Quick!"
The two men worked together, fending off the surging smoke while struggling to retreat towards the sarcophagus. Every step forward required immense effort, and the smoke had already scratched their bodies in several places, causing waves of stinging pain. But they held a single conviction: they must retreat to the sarcophagus, find a way to break it, and stop the black-robed man's mad plan. Could they successfully retreat to the sarcophagus and find a way to break it? Could they also stop the black-robed man's mad plan? The fate of the ancient town, like a candle flickering in the wind, hung precariously in their hands...
Lin Yu pondered, "This man in black is powerful and cunning, and every move is filled with evil power. But I must not retreat. I must remain calm and find his flaws. No matter the cost, we must not let his scheme succeed. The people of the ancient town are still waiting for us to save them." Suna also secretly made up her mind: "I must work with Lin Yu to overcome this difficult time, uncover the true face of the man in black, and save the ancient town. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I will never retreat." With firm belief, they struggled forward in the dangerous room. A greater crisis, like a giant beast hidden in the darkness, waited for them to overcome...
