"Wait..." The Nebula Sage spoke again, an inexplicable uneasiness gripping his heart.

He looked around. The passages of the maze were deep and winding. The symbols on the walls were still flickering, casting mottled light and shadows, as if countless unknown dangers were lurking.

The Guardian of Blue Star, despite his injuries, was still struggling to walk at the front of the team.

"Nebula Sage, what's wrong?" His voice was low and trembling slightly. It was obvious that the forced movement had hurt the wound.

"I feel... we are being monitored." The Nebula Sage frowned, his eyes scanning every shadow and every corner.

The Light Messenger supported the Blue Star Guardian with concern, "You should rest for a while, or your injuries will get worse."

The Guardian of Blue Star shook his head, his eyes firm, "No, I must protect everyone." His steps were still staggering, and every step was like walking on the edge of a knife.

The Star Knight smiled contemptuously, "Old man, in your current state, who can you protect? Just don't hold us back." He patted the energy sword in his hand, looking eager to try, "I can handle that monster by myself."

The Star Spirit floated to the side of the Nebula Sage, its light flickering, "I feel it too, the energy fluctuations around us are very unstable, it seems that something is hidden in the dark."

Kelinda walked up to Zhang Cheng and whispered, "Be careful, I always feel like something is wrong."

Zhang Cheng nodded, tightened his grip on the weapon, and looked around vigilantly.

The Nebula Sage's uneasiness also infected him. He felt a dangerous atmosphere in the air, like the calm before the storm.

At this moment, a cold wind blew in from the depths of the passage, blowing up the dust on the ground. The symbols in the maze flickered more violently, and the shadows cast became more distorted, like ghosts with bared fangs and claws.

The Nebula Sage's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came over him. He turned his head sharply and looked at the passage behind him, but saw nothing.

"Come out!" he shouted sharply, his voice echoing in the empty passage.

The only response he got was deathly silence.

However, just when everyone thought that the Nebula Sage was being too cautious... a brick on the wall moved silently.

From the gap between the moving bricks, a black shadow shot out like lightning, with the sharp blade in its hand pointing directly at Zhang Cheng's heart.

This sudden attack caught everyone off guard. At the critical moment, the figure of the interstellar knight flashed and stood in front of Zhang Cheng.

"Dang!" The sharp sound of metal collision resounded throughout the passage, and sparks flew everywhere.

The energy sword in the Star Knight's hand barely blocked the assassin's attack, and the powerful impact made his arm numb.

The assassin was dressed in black, his face hidden in the shadows, revealing only a pair of cold and ruthless eyes.

He had a ghostly figure and his movements were as swift as the wind. The sharp blade in his hand was like the tongue of a poisonous snake, constantly stabbing at the vital points of the interstellar knight.

"Shadow Assassin!" Nebula Sage exclaimed. He recognized the assassin's identity and an unprecedented sense of fear came over him.

Shadow Assassin, a mysterious killer controlled by monsters, is known for his bizarre assassination skills and ruthless style. Almost no one can survive his assassination.

At first, the Star Knight could still hold on, but the Shadow Assassin was too fast and his moves were too tricky, and he gradually became unable to cope.

In a moment of carelessness, the assassin's sharp blade scratched his arm, and blood gushed out instantly.

"Knight!" exclaimed the mysterious elf on the side, his eyes full of worry.

Zhang Cheng was also watching the battle nervously. He knew that although the Star Knight was powerful, it would be difficult for him to win against the notorious Shadow Assassin.

He wanted to go forward to help, but was stopped by Clinda.

"Don't be impulsive. Now is not the right time." Klinda calmly analyzed the situation. "The Shadow Assassin is targeting you. He won't let you go easily. We must find a way to contain him and create an opportunity for the Knight."

The Star Knight gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain in his arm, and continued to deal with the Shadow Assassin.

He knew he had to hold on, otherwise Zhang Cheng’s life would be in danger.

The Shadow Assassin's attacks became more and more fierce, and the Star Knight's defense became more and more difficult.

Just when he was about to collapse, he suddenly felt a powerful force coming from behind him.

"I'm here to help you!" The Guardian of Blue Star, despite being seriously injured, endured the pain and stood beside the Star Knight.

His voice was strained, but his resolve was firm.

He raised his weapon...The Guardian of Blue Star endured the pain and stood beside the Star Knight.

"I'm here to help you!" His voice was a little strained, but his tone was firm.

He raised his weapon and a blinding light burst out, forcing the shadow assassin back.

Everyone thought the crisis was temporarily resolved, but they did not expect that a greater danger was approaching.

In the shadow of the passage, several dark figures emerged like ghosts, and they were several shadow assassins!

Holding sharp blades, they silently surrounded everyone, forming a strange formation and trapping them in the center.

Fear spread like a tide and the atmosphere froze in an instant.

The mysterious elf grasped the Star Spirit's arm in horror and whispered, "How could this happen? There are more than one of them!"

The Protoss' face turned pale and he trembled as he answered, "It is rumored that Shadow Assassins never act alone. It seems to be true..."

When the Light Messenger saw that the Star Knight and the Blue Star Guardian were entangled, he immediately prepared to help them with reinforcements. A beam of holy light shot out from his hand and headed straight for the Shadow Assassin.

However, just as the holy light was about to hit the target, a black dart shot out from the darkness and accurately hit the shoulder of the Messenger of Light.

He groaned, fell to the ground, covering his wound, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"Light Messenger!" Klinda exclaimed and wanted to go forward to help, but was stopped by the Nebula Sage.

"Don't go over there, it's too dangerous! We must conserve our strength now."

The Nebula Sage's voice trembled slightly. He had never felt so powerless.

He looked around, his eyes filled with despair.

The number of shadow assassins far exceeded their expectations, and each one was extremely powerful. They were completely suppressed and had no chance of winning.

In the atmosphere group, a skinny man laughed shrilly: "A bunch of trash dare to challenge our master? Prepare to die!" The other shadow assassins also sneered, as if they were sure of victory.

Black Shark stood in the distance, watching all this with a cold eye, a cruel smile on his face. He looked at the people surrounded as if they were lambs to be slaughtered.

Zhang Cheng's heart sank to the bottom and he felt an unprecedented pressure.

He knew that if they didn't find a way to break out, they would all die here.

He forced himself to calm down and carefully observed the Shadow Assassins' formation, trying to find a flaw... Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had discovered something.

He took a deep breath and said to everyone: "Knights, Guardians, listen to my command..."

Zhang Cheng's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, scanning every move of the shadow assassins. Their formation seemed perfect, but it contained a mystery.

"Knight, Guardian, do you see the third assassin on the left wing of their formation? He is standing slightly behind, which is their weakness!" Zhang Cheng's voice was low and powerful, and it was clearly heard by the two in the noisy environment.

The Interstellar Knight and the Blue Star Guardian looked at each other, and they both instantly understood Zhang Cheng's intention.

The Blue Star Guardian endured the pain and burst out with powerful energy. A dazzling light slashed at the enemy in front of him like a sharp sword, attracting the attention of most of the assassins.

The interstellar knight took this opportunity, moved as fast as lightning, went around the flank of the assassin's formation, and headed straight for the assassin standing at the back.

"Looking for death!" The skinny man screamed when he saw this, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

He swung the blade in his hand and attacked Star Knight, trying to stop him.

However, the speed of the Star Knight was far beyond his imagination. He dodged his attack with a flash, and the energy sword in his hand drew a sharp arc of light, hitting the target assassin's chest.

The assassin screamed and stumbled back, a deep wound appeared on his chest, blood gushed out, staining the surrounding ground red.

"Waste!" Seeing this, Black Shark's face darkened, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that under such circumstances, the other party could actually counterattack successfully.

However, the shadow assassins did not retreat. Instead, they became even more crazy, with bloodthirsty gleams in their eyes.

They were like puppets controlled by some force. They rushed towards the crowd fearlessly and their attack became more fierce.

The injured assassin covered his wound and let out a low roar. The wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A cold atmosphere spread out, and everyone had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

"Their power... seems to have increased..." said the Nebula Sage with a pale face and a trembling voice.

Zhang Cheng's expression also became solemn. He felt a strong sense of oppression, as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat.

"Prepare for battle!" He growled, holding the weapon tightly in his hand, his eyes firmly fixed on the front, "No matter what, we must survive!" He grabbed Klinda's arm and pulled her behind him, "Protect her."
