Li, upon seeing the black-robed man, stood together in tacit understanding, ready to face him.

    "So it’s you, Liu Hao and Li Yuan. You've got some nerve breaking into Bloodcloud Prison," the black-robed man taunted, showing contempt.

    "You can't even handle one of us, let alone both," Li Yuan mocked back.

    "Who said I’d fight you alone?"

    Suddenly, four more black-robed figures appeared beside the first, each holding a blood-red whip, their auras matching Liu Hao and Elder Li in strength.

    "Four enforcers and the hall master together, what an honor," Li Yuan laughed, mocking their underhanded tactics.

    "Laugh while you can. Let’s see you cry later!"

    "Today, you won’t escape!"

    The Law Enforcement Hall Master lifted his blue jade pendant, emitting a bright blue light, and a blood-red whip appeared in his hand.

    "The Demon Refining Whip," Liu Hao exclaimed in surprise at the whip adorned with a blood-red gem.

    "We have nothing to fear. Let’s see how your Demon Refining Whip and Demon-Banishing Whip fare," Liu Hao signaled to Li Yuan, and they charged at the five black-robed figures. The hall master and four enforcers charged back.

    Liu Hao wielded a black spear, sweeping it towards the black-robed men, unleashing powerful spear marks that echoed with thunder. Li Yuan wielded a golden long blade, flashing with dazzling light.

    The seven clashed, their green, white, and red energies intertwining, shaking the surrounding space.

    "Ice Domain."

    "Light Slash."

    "Azure Dragon Stab."

    Each unleashed their ultimate techniques, energies clashing repeatedly, causing residual shockwaves to impact the surroundings.

    A white blade light struck the old man’s gray energy shield, causing ripples before stabilizing.

    "I’ve been here for a few years and they’ve already reached this level. Impressive," the old man nodded approvingly.

    Qin Yi watched the battle intently, each blade, whip, and spear move etched into his mind, providing him with new insights.

    "Qin Yi, where are you? Come out now!" Tang Qixin grew increasingly frustrated, having searched over thirty cells without finding him. She had to dodge attacks while watching Liu Hao, Li Yuan, and the five black-robed figures fight, making her increasingly uncomfortable.

    Inside the energy shield, the old man suddenly looked skyward.

    "You’ve finally arrived," he thought. "Kid, I’m leaving. Let’s chat next time," the old man said before vanishing, taking the energy shield with him.

    "Don’t leave me! What will I do without the shield?" Qin Yi realized the old man was gone, feeling a mix of annoyance and helplessness.

    "Qin Yi! So here you are. Let's hide before you get killed!" Tang Qixin grabbed him, dragging him to a side
