Multiple Personalities-Chapter 417: Reinforcements

Thick darkness lays over the once prosperous kingdom's land like a massive curtain, weighing heavily. The howling wind sweeps up the sand and stones from the ground, emitting a sharp whistling, as if the kingdom is groaning in pain. The white-robed figure stands proudly amidst the chaos and despair, his silhouette tall and eerie, emitting a chilling glow that resembles the cold fire from Hell, icy and merciless.

Lin Yu tightly grips the long sword that has accompanied him in battles for many years, the sword's blade trembling slightly, whether from tension or excitement, it's hard to say. His forehead is covered in fine beads of sweat, sliding down his cheeks and soaking his collar. The sweat glistens faintly in the dim light, like a symbol of his unyielding spirit within.

"It's reinforcements!" Lin Yu suddenly shouts excitedly, the sound like lightning slicing through the darkness, echoing across the silent battlefield. His eyes are wide open, shimmering with the light of hope, like the brightest star in the night sky, piercing through layers of darkness and illuminating the exhausted yet despairing faces of his comrades.

Xu An is locked in fierce combat with a minion of the white-robed figure, his body already bearing multiple wounds, his blood staining the armor red, yet he bites his lip, resisting stubbornly. Hearing Lin Yu's shout, he sharply tosses his head, flinging the sweat-soaked hair from his forehead aside, his eyes instantly igniting with flames of excitement.

"We've got help, everyone together defeat this white-robed person!" Xu An exclaims passionately, his voice trembling slightly with excitement. He forcefully swings his sword, pushing the enemy in front of him back a step, then seizes the opportunity to turn around, looking towards the direction the reinforcements are coming from.

On the distant horizon, dust rises, like a yellow dragon rolling over. As the dust gradually approaches, a group of mysterious knights appears in everyone's line of sight. They ride tall warhorses, clad in armor that gleams with silver light, the spears in their hands flashing cold light under the sunshine, resembling a group of war gods from heaven.

Shen Jingqi stands quietly to the side, his gaze deep and complex. He watches the mysterious knights, his heart filled with gratitude, yet a subtle anxiety surfaces simultaneously. He knows that this battle is far from over, the real showdown has just begun.

"Are these reinforcements really reliable?" Shen Jingqi wonders silently in his heart. His gaze sweeps back and forth between the reinforcements and the white-robed figure, attempting to find some clues from them. The white-robed figure remains standing calmly, seemingly indifferent to the arrival of reinforcements, yet Shen Jingqi senses a trace of disdain and provocation from his slightly squinted eyes.

"Everyone stay alert," Shen Jingqi loudly reminds, his voice steady and powerful, clearly reaching everyone's ears amidst the noisy battlefield. "The white-robed figure won't admit defeat easily, this battle is just beginning."

Lin Yu hears Shen Jingqi's words, nods slightly, takes a deep breath, and tries to calm himself. He knows Shen Jingqi is right, this battle is far from over. He tightly grips the long sword in his hand, his gaze fixed firmly on the white-robed figure, silently vowing in his heart: "I must defeat you and save our kingdom."

The reinforcements draw closer, their hoofbeats like war drums, striking the strings of every heart. The white-robed figure slowly raises his head, his mouth slightly lifting into a peculiar smile.

"With just these ants, you want to defeat me?" the white-robed figure remarks coldly, his voice deep and raspy, like a curse echoing from the depths of Hell.

As the white-robed figure finishes speaking, he suddenly waves his hand, releasing a black beam of light from his palm, like a giant black python, rushing towards the reinforcements. Where the black light passes, the air distorts, emitting sizzling sounds.

"Not good, everyone be careful!" Shen Jingqi shouts, his body instantly tensing, ready to deal with the impending danger.

The knight among the reinforcements also sense the danger, quickly adjusting their formation, raising their spears high, forming a solid line of defense. The black light crashes into the spears, producing a deafening roar, light splattering, like a beautiful fireworks display. Yet behind this beauty lies tremendous danger.

Some weaker knights are thrown off their horses by the impact of the black light, struggling to stand, but are quickly surrounded by the minions of the white-robed figure. The battlefield plunges into chaos once more.

Lin Yu watches the scene unfold, his heart filled with anger and urgency. He can no longer hold back, shouting loudly and charging towards the white-robed figure. His long sword traces a graceful arc in the air, like a shooting star, thrusting towards the white-robed figure.

The white-robed figure sneers, lightly sidestepping, easily evading Lin Yu's attack. Then he reaches out a hand, gently gripping Lin Yu's sword. Lin Yu feels a great force emanating from the blade, his hand aching unbearably, almost unable to hold the sword.

"With such limited skills, you still hope to defeat me?" the white-robed figure taunts, his eyes full of contempt.

Lin Yu grits his teeth, unwilling to be defeated so easily. He forcefully pulls the sword, trying to free himself from the white-robed figure's grip, but the hand holding the sword is like an iron clamp, refusing to let go. Just as Lin Yu feels despair, Xu An suddenly rushes in, his broadsword striking fiercely at the white-robed figure's arm.

The white-robed figure frowns slightly, having to release his grip on Lin Yu's sword, stepping back. Lin Yu seizes the chance to reclaim his sword, standing back-to-back with Xu An, vigilantly watching the white-robed figure.

"Thank you, Xu An," Lin Yu says gratefully.

"No need to thank, we are comrades, we should help each other," Xu An replies, his eyes filled with determination.

At this moment, the strong fighters among the reinforcements also join the fray. Together with Lin Yu, Xu An, and others, they encircle the white-robed figure. The white-robed figure looks at the surrounding enemies with no trace of fear on his face, instead revealing an excited smile.

"Come, let me show you my true power," the white-robed figure says, his body suddenly emitting powerful energy, like a tidal wave swelling and expanding outward.

The knights around are forced back by this energy, their faces showing fear. Lin Yu and Xu An feel immense pressure, their bodies as if weighed down by a mountain, unable to move.
