The joint assault from Five and Six grew increasingly fierce. Although Six was injured at the waist, his immense strength still prevented Lin Yu from taking the attacks head-on, forcing him to dodge continuously. Each strike from Six carried a powerful gust of wind, and the Iron Whip sliced through the air with a chilling whistle.
Five, despite also being injured, only had minor flesh wounds that did not significantly affect his movements. His attacks were quick and fierce, with daggers striking like venomous snakes, each thrust aimed directly at Lin Yu's vital points, compelling Lin Yu to respond with all his might.
Lin Yu understood that if this continued, he would become increasingly passive. The coordination between Five and Six was flawless; one was incredibly strong while the other was swift. Their relentless offensive put immense pressure on Lin Yu. His body began to feel fatigued from the constant dodging and blocking, and his movements started to slow down.
At that moment, Five's dagger lunged forward like lightning. Lin Yu sidestepped to avoid it but was cornered by Six's Iron Whip. The whip lashed out like a torrential storm, and Lin Yu barely managed to block it with his knife, but the tremendous force numbed his arms. He realized he was starting to fall behind.
During one defensive maneuver, Lin Yu attempted to block Six's Iron Whip with his knife, but the overwhelming power sent a sharp pain through his right hand. The Iron Whip struck Lin Yu's right hand suddenly, so forcefully that he nearly lost his grip on the knife. The unexpected blow knocked him backward, causing him to lose balance and fall heavily into the stream, splashing water everywhere.
Lin Yu felt a sharp pain in his right hand, clearly suffering significant damage. Gritting his teeth, he struggled to stand up, but Five and Six offered him no respite. Five quickly closed in, dual daggers glinting coldly as they aimed for Lin Yu's throat. Six swung the Iron Whip, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.
Feeling the chilling pressure closing in on him, Lin Yu knew he could not retreat at this moment. His left hand gripped the knife handle tightly; his gaze sharpened with determination. No matter how difficult it became, he had to persevere—for those he loved and for a glimmer of hope for the future; he must fight until the end.
Just as Five's dagger was about to strike Lin Yu, he suddenly sidestepped and swept his knife horizontally with his left hand. The flash of the blade forced Five to retreat. Seizing the opportunity, Lin Yu quickly rolled sideways to evade Six's Iron Whip attack and created some distance between them.
Five's dagger lunged wildly toward Lin Yu lying in the stream; each strike was filled with lethal intent. Lin Yu’s body tensed as he rolled and dodged continuously; each dagger thrust narrowly missed him, grazing his skin and sending chills through him. His heart raced like thunder, breath quickened; sweat mixed with stream water made him feel heavier.
Six roared furiously from the side; seeing Five's attacks repeatedly miss their target made him decide to take action himself. He swung his Iron Whip violently, aiming one of them forcefully at Lin Yu in an attempt to block any escape route for him lying on the ground. The Iron Whip crashed down beside Lin Yu into the water, creating a massive splash that sent droplets flying in all directions, sparkling under the moonlight.
Lin Yu was momentarily blinded by the sudden splash of water and felt immense pressure closing in on him. He realized there was nowhere left to hide; as Five’s dagger came at him again, he made a quick decision. He rolled back suddenly, using the cover of water splashes to swiftly evade Five’s attack.
Five’s dagger sliced through the air toward where Lin Yu had just been lying; in that moment of missing its target, annoyance flashed across his face. Lin Yu’s quick reflexes and precise judgment infuriated him further, but he did not halt his assault; instead, he quickly adjusted his stance and advanced toward Lin Yu once more.
Six, seeing this, swung the Iron Whip again, trying to force Lin Yu into a corner. His eyes were bloodshot as he roared and lashed out with the Iron Whip, the whip's shadow sweeping in like a storm. Lin Yu struggled to dodge in the water, each movement filled with pressure and danger.
Lin Yu's back touched the cold stream, feeling the sting from each roll as his body collided with the stones. His vision blurred from the splashes, and his ears were filled with Six's roar and Five's heavy breathing. He knew he had reached the brink of life and death and had to find a way to escape.
Five's dagger lunged at him again, this time faster and more ferocious. Lin Yu felt the chill from the dagger, his heart tightening. He rolled again with all his strength, narrowly avoiding this deadly strike. But immediately after, he sensed Six's Iron Whip closing in, swinging toward his head.
Lin Yu quickly assessed the situation, realizing he could no longer remain passive. He suddenly rolled to the side, using the slippery stream to create distance while grabbing a stone from the ground with his left hand and swiftly throwing it at Six. The stone whistled through the air toward Six, forcing him to swing the Iron Whip to block.
In that instant, Lin Yu stood up with all his might, his eyes fixed on Five. His left hand quickly reached for his bow, an arrow trembling on the string, aimed at Five's chest. Upon seeing this, Five's expression changed drastically, but he did not retreat; instead, he charged forward even faster, attempting to take down Lin Yu before he could shoot.
Lin Yu's arm ached from prolonged combat, but he steadied himself and drew back the bowstring, aiming at Five. Just as Five was about to close in, Lin Yu released the bowstring, and the arrow shot out like lightning toward Five's chest.
Five leaped into the air in an attempt to dodge the arrow, but it still grazed his shoulder, leaving a trail of blood. His movements momentarily faltered as pain flashed across his face, yet he still gripped his dagger tightly and lunged at Lin Yu.
