The three of them felt a warm power surge into their bodies like a tide, permeating every inch of their skin, every cell, granting them boundless strength and courage. Shen Jingqi's clenched fists trembled slightly, a sign of power filled to the brim. The cold glint in Li Baiyu's eyes intensified, his stance as upright as a pine tree, ready to confront any challenge at any time. Renault took a deep breath, his already burly figure appearing even more imposing at this moment.

This ancient stone—this mysterious stele containing Yin-Yang Power—had established an indescribable connection with them. This connection, like blood ties, or like a spiritual bond, would become their strongest weapon against the Dark Power.

The night breeze gently brushed by, bringing a hint of chill, yet also dispelling the gloom in their hearts. They stood in front of the stele, gazing at the gradually calming night sky, filled with unprecedented tranquility and satisfaction. However, this calm did not last long; a sense of unexplained crisis suddenly surged in their hearts, tightening their nerves once more.

A sense of oppression rolled towards them, like dark clouds covering the sun, dimming the entire world.

"Obfuscate," a deep and hoarse voice sounded in the night sky, like the voice of a ghost, as if a Demon from Hell was whispering. The voice carried an irresistible magic, chilling them to the bone, as if their very souls were frozen.

A chilling sensation surged in the hearts of Shen Jingqi, Li Baiyu, and Renault, making their expressions instantly grave. Shen Jingqi gripped the stele tightly, feeling the Yin-Yang Power within, attempting to draw more strength from it to counter this sudden crisis. Li Baiyu swiftly drew the longsword from his waist, its blade pointing towards the dark figure, with vigilance gleaming in his eyes. Renault stood his ground, fists clenched, every muscle in his body tense, ready to charge into battle at any moment.

The dark figure inched forward step by step. As it approached, a stronger sense of oppression washed over them, almost suffocating them. They knew this figure was not benevolent and was likely the sum of all the enemies they had faced before, possibly even more formidable.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Shen Jingqi asked in a deep voice, trying to find a clue in the other's words. However, the dark figure merely chuckled coldly and did not answer his question.

Seeing this, Li Baiyu's eyes flashed with a trace of frost. He knew that verbal confrontation was meaningless against such an enemy. He swung his sword, a sword light tearing through the night sky, directly toward the dark figure. The sword light, like a dragon, carried sharp Sword Qi, seemingly splitting the darkness in two.

However, the dark figure simply sidestepped softly, easily evading Li Baiyu's attack. Simultaneously, a surge of Dark Power emanated from it, rushing towards Li Baiyu like a tide. Li Baiyu felt immense pressure wash over him, and he shook his longsword, attempting to use Sword Qi to ward off the Dark Power.

Yet, this Dark Power was extraordinarily strong, actually dissolving his Sword Qi one by one. Li Baiyu felt coldness rising from his feet, shooting straight to the top of his head.

At this moment, Shen Jingqi suddenly shouted, gripping the stele with both hands, as a surge of Yin-Yang Power emanated from the stele, heading straight for the dark figure. The Yin-Yang Power resembled two great dragons, intertwining in the air, carrying a force capable of destroying heaven and earth.

The dark figure clearly sensed the immense power as well; it flickered, attempting to evade the attack of the Yin-Yang Power. However, Shen Jingqi had already anticipated its movement; with a mere thought, the Yin-Yang Power suddenly altered its course, aiming straight for the figure's back.

The figure felt a threat rushing towards it, and it turned swiftly, using Dark Power to fend off the Yin-Yang Power attack. However, this Yin-Yang Power was remarkably tenacious, engaged in a fierce battle with the Dark Power.

The two forces collided and intertwined in the air, erupting with rumbles. Shen Jingqi, Li Baiyu, and Renault stood aside, staring at the battle in the air unblinkingly.

Just then, the dark figure suddenly let out a roar, its Dark Power surging abruptly, gradually suppressing the Yin-Yang Power. Shen Jingqi felt immense backlash hitting him, spitting a mouthful of blood, his body swaying unsteadily.

Seeing this, Li Baiyu and Renault were horrified. They knew very well that if the dark figure continued to enhance its power, all three of them might meet their demise. So, they exchanged a glance, deciding to join forces against the Dark Power.

Li Baiyu swung his longsword again, attacking the dark figure once more. His swordsmanship was swift and fierce, each strike aimed at the enemy's vital points. Renault roared, transforming into a whirlwind, charging at the figure. His fists, like iron hammers, carried immense power, fiercely striking towards the figure.

The dark figure clearly sensed their attack as well; it flashed, attempting to dodge their joint assault. However, Li Baiyu and Renault had anticipated its move; with skillful coordination, front and back, left and right, they firmly trapped the figure in the middle.

The figure felt a huge pressure rushing towards it; though its Dark Power was strong, under the joint attack of Li Baiyu and Renault, it seemed somewhat powerless. It roared continuously, trying to break free from their constraints, yet to no avail.

At this moment, Shen Jingqi suddenly endured the pain from the backlash, urging the Yin-Yang Power in the stele once again. A more powerful surge of Yin-Yang Power emanated from the stele, heading straight for the dark figure. Compared to before, this Yin-Yang Power was purer, stronger, seemingly capable of devouring all darkness.

The dark figure clearly sensed the terror of this power as well; panic flashed in its eyes. However, it did not choose to escape; instead, with a roar, it used all its strength to resist the attack of the Yin-Yang Power.

The two forces collided and intertwined in the air once more, bursting with even fiercer blast sounds. The whole world seemed to tremble because of it, and the stars in the night sky seemed to lose their light. Shen Jingqi, Li Baiyu, and Renault stood aside, their hearts filled with tension and expectation. They knew well that the outcome of this confrontation would decide their destiny.

At this moment, the dark figure suddenly let out a cry of misery; under the attack of the Yin-Yang Power, its Dark Power began to gradually dissipate. The figure also became blurred as if it could vanish at any moment.
