The air inside the passage was as cold as if it had been quenched with ice. Ice crystals floated in the smoke, reflecting the six pairs of scarlet, irrational eyes of the "Fang" phantom, like lights from hell illuminating the darkness.

The deadly silence lasted only a moment.

"roar--!"

The six fanged phantoms, on all fours, arched their backs almost simultaneously. The dark red patterns beneath their viscous skin suddenly lit up, pulsating like blood vessels. A sharp roar pierced the silence, carrying a tooth-grinding, sandpaper-like texture.

The next moment, they transformed into six streaks of blood-red lightning, rushing towards the defensive line! Their speed was so fast that they almost left afterimages, and the foul wind carrying corrosive saliva instantly compressed the already narrow passage space to its limit.

Two "fangs" lunged straight at Zhao Lei and Su Wan, while the other four flanked them from the left and right, the sharp sound of bone spikes tearing through the air extremely piercing. Just as Chen Mo was about to activate the Breaking Illusion and Seeing Truth to mark their weaknesses, a dark shadow pounced in front of them, its foul-smelling saliva dripping onto the ground, corroding small pits.

"Permafrost Zone... Open!"

Han Bingshuo's beard and hair stood on end as he roared, squeezing out the last bit of primal energy from his meridians. However, it no longer covered a large area as before; instead, it condensed into an icy blue domain within a five-meter radius around everyone, the power of eternal freezing operating wildly, and extreme cold descended once more!

"Snap, snap—!"

The leading "fanged" phantoms slowed abruptly, their bodies instantly covered in a thick layer of ice, their joints emitting a sickening cracking sound as they froze, ultimately remaining in their ferocious attacking posture as ice sculptures. However, the other three, with their even more ferocious impact, forcefully broke through the edge of the icy tide, their bone spikes shooting out like powerful crossbow bolts towards Chen Mo and Su Wan, who was protecting Zhao Lei!

"Don't even think about it!"

Han Bingshuo's eyes narrowed, and he forcefully shifted the center of gravity of his domain, instantly solidifying a thick ice wall in front of Su Wan.

"Puff puff puff!" Bone spikes embedded themselves deeply into the ice wall, sending ice shards flying, but ultimately they blocked the fatal blow.

But just as the old force was dissipated and the new force had not yet been generated, a "fang" that had been temporarily frozen suddenly exerted its power, the ice layer shattered and scattered, and the sharp claws, with a sharp sound of tearing the air, went straight for Han Bingshuo's chest and abdomen, which were wide open due to the extreme activation of his domain!

"senior!"

Chen Mo's eyes widened in fury, and he lunged forward, but it was too late. He could only watch helplessly as the sharp claws approached.

At the critical moment, Han Bingshuo did not dodge or evade. Instead, he gathered all the remaining power of his domain into his palm, transforming it into a condensed ice crystal spear, and fiercely stabbed at the sharp claw!

"Sizzle!"

The ice spear pierced through the ethereal body, drawing out foul-smelling fluids, while the ethereal claws added a deep, bone-revealing wound to his chest, where blood mixed with the cold air condensed into ice beads that dripped down his clothes!

The old man groaned and staggered backward. The permafrost domain completely collapsed and dissipated. He slumped heavily against the rock wall, his breath extremely weak.

"Senior Han!" Chen Mo supported the swaying old man, touching his cold skin. He could clearly sense that the Great Dao energy within him was so weak that it was almost imperceptible, and his breath was weak. He had obviously temporarily lost most of his fighting power.

Just as Han Bingshuo was calmed down, Su Wan's exclamation came from the right.

A "fang" broke through her defenses, and its claws grazed her arm, leaving three deep wounds that exposed bone. Poisonous blood seeped out from the wounds, and Su Wan's face instantly turned pale. Her spiritual silver light dimmed considerably, and her body swayed precariously.

Just as the chaos began, heavy footsteps approached like the beating of drums. Four "Unbreakable Wall" phantoms advanced like mobile fortresses, their dull metallic textures gleaming coldly, the layers of bone armor on their shoulders clanging, and the bone hammers on their arms swinging up with a whistling wind, smashing straight towards Chen Mo.

"Damn it! I'll fight you to the death!"

Zhao Lei's eyes were bloodshot, and blood from his ruptured wounds flowed down his muscle lines, yet it did not diminish the ferocity in his eyes. He ripped off his tattered shirt, revealing a torso covered in scars but still standing tall. His strange physique allowed him to unleash terrifying power even when severely injured.

Like a humanoid tyrannosaurus, he lunged towards Chen Mo's position, using his back to take the blow for Chen Mo.

With a muffled thud, Zhao Lei flew backward like a puppet with its strings cut, crashing heavily into the rock wall. He spat out a mouthful of dark red blood, but grinned, "That little bit of strength isn't enough to stop the invincible God of War!"

Before he could even get up, another "Iron Wall" had already closed in, and the bone hammer fell again. Chen Mo hurriedly activated his "Insightful Vision" technique, instantly marking the junction of the bone hammer and his arm with golden Sanskrit characters, and roared, "Zhao Lei, attack the marked spot!"

Zhao Lei gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain as if his internal organs were dislocating, and swung his fist. The fist collided with the bone armor with a crisp "clang," but only left a white mark. The "Iron Wall" was completely undamaged, and the bone hammer pressed down with the force, pinning Zhao Lei firmly to the ground, and blood instantly stained the rubble beneath him.

"I'll do it!"

Despite the dizziness caused by the spreading poison, Su Wan's fingertips blazed with a surge of ethereal silver light. She leaped onto the head of a "Solid Wall" and placed her hands on its texture. The silver light surged in like a tide, attempting to disrupt the spirit's will.

As expected, "Iron Wall" hesitated for a moment, and the pulsation of the red patterns became disordered. However, the restraining collar around its neck suddenly lit up with a dazzling red light, and a violent energy rebounded along with the silver light. Su Wan was hit as if by a heavy blow and was blasted away, her throat filled with a metallic taste.

"It's no use!"

Su Wan gasped for breath, her eyes filled with anxiety and helplessness. "The collar is forcibly stabilizing its will; I can't control it!"

"Bang!" A Watcher slammed a hammer into the leg of "Solid Wall," but only a few sparks flew. The hammer was bounced away by the recoil of the bone armor, and the Watcher's hand split open, and he grimaced in pain.

"Get out of here!"

Zhao Lei suddenly erupted, forcefully breaking free from the "Iron Wall's" suppression. Ignoring his severe injuries, he turned and lunged at the "fangs" that were about to attack Su Wan. He clung tightly to the spirit's neck, enduring the creature's claws carving deep furrows in his back and its teeth tearing at his arms, drawing blood, yet he refused to let go, roaring, "Chen Mo, think of something!"

Chen Mo's brain raced, observing the vertical lines flashing wildly, but he could only watch as the "Solid Wall" bone hammer crashed down again. The massive bone hammer carried immense force, and Chen Mo tumbled aside in a sorry state, leaving a deep crater where he had stood, with shards of rock scattering like bullets.

The defenses have completely collapsed.

"Solid Wall" swung its bone hammer down on Zhao Lei once more. Zhao Lei had no time to dodge; the hammer slammed into his back with a dull thud. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed, but still clung tightly to "Fang's" neck, preventing it from getting close to Su Wan. Blood continued to seep from his mouth and nose, his consciousness fading, but he stubbornly held on with sheer grit.

The doctor's cold voice came through the loudspeaker, tinged with a hint of pleasure: "Record the data. The 'Fang' series meets the attack requirements, but their teamwork is lacking. The 'Fortress' series is both offensive and defensive, performing exceptionally well. Now, sample collection can begin."

As soon as the words were spoken, a "Solid Wall" ethereal spirit slowly raised its giant foot and stomped down on Zhao Lei, who was lying on the ground! Su Wan let out a desperate scream and reached out to pull him up, but was forced to retreat by another "fang".

In that life-or-death moment—

"BOOM!!!"

From the direction of the cave entrance, the last boulder blocking the way was blasted to pieces by an overwhelming force from the outside!

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a black figure, enveloped in countless shadows, shot into the battlefield like an arrow—it was Shen Che!

His Shadow-Hunting Power surged like a black sea, several times stronger than before, and an ancient consciousness boomed in his mind:

"The Great Path of Shadow Hunting - The Realm of Fusion!"

An aura of a 6-star power swept through the passage. The next second, the shadow beside him suddenly twisted and solidified, and a dark figure, seven or eight parts similar to his own outline, detached itself—

The shadowy figure wielded two cold, shadowy blades, its eye sockets glowing with a chilling red light, radiating an aura no less powerful than its true form!
