Full Effort to Stall, Difficult Resistance

At this critical juncture, the Invincible Domain, finally unable to bear the strain, shattered with a "bang." The blinding light dissipated, and the Witch Tribe's army clearly appeared before everyone's eyes. The Great Witch raised his Battle Axe, his face contorted in ferocity, leading the Witch Tribe like hungry wolves to pounce on the Human Race. Hu Shu, enduring his injured body, shielded the Human Race people behind him and roared, "Sons of the Human Race, even if we die, let us die gloriously!" A fierce close-quarters battle was about to begin. Could the Human Race find a glimmer of hope in this desperate situation?

Hu Shu knew deeply that he absolutely could not panic at this moment. While circulating the little Spiritual Power remaining in his body, he quickly scanned the surrounding terrain. Shouyang Mountain's terrain was complex, with many natural barriers and ravines. If they could be utilized well, perhaps it could buy the tribe a sliver of hope. "Everyone, listen to my orders! Utilize the terrain and set up the Defensive Formation!" Hu Shu shouted loudly. Although his voice was slightly hoarse from exhaustion, its firmness invigorated every member of the Human Race.

Under Hu Shu's command, the Human Race people quickly sprang into action. The young and strong moved huge stones, attempting to build simple ramparts; the old, weak, women, and children assisted from the side, collecting usable materials. The Witch Tribe's attack came like a storm, with various strange Witchcraft lights flashing. The air was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur, the scent of the Witch Tribe's Witchcraft, sickening to the extreme.

Hu Shu stood at the very front, his Long Sword, glowing with light, weaving sharp sword shadows that blocked the Witch Tribe's vanguard attacks. Each clash between sword and Battle Axe made his arms go numb, and his Blood Essence churned within him. But he gritted his teeth and did not retreat a single step. "Cannot retreat, my tribe is behind me, I must hold the line!" Hu Shu had only this thought in his mind.

The Witch Tribe's Great Witch, seeing that the Human Race could still organize an effective defense under Hu Shu's command, became enraged. "A mere Human Race dares to resist!" He quickly formed seals with his hands and chanted incantations. Instantly, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and streaks of black lightning crisscrossed the clouds. Accompanied by deafening thunder, they struck towards Shouyang Mountain.

"Not good, everyone be careful!" Hu Shu saw this and quickly warned everyone. Under the Witch Tribe Great Witch's attack, the Defensive Formation flickered unstably, on the verge of collapse. The Human Race people showed fear on their faces, but they did not retreat. They huddled closely together, encouraging each other.

Hu Shu knew deeply that if he didn't act now, once the Defensive Formation was broken, the Human Race would have no chance of survival. He took a deep breath, disregarding his own injuries, circulated his Spiritual Power to its limit, and transformed into a streak of light, charging towards the Witch Tribe Great Witch. "You villain, how dare you be so arrogant!" Hu Shu roared, his Long Sword carrying an unstoppable momentum as he thrust it towards the Witch Tribe Great Witch.

The Witch Tribe Great Witch sneered, swung his Battle Axe, and a black stream of energy shot towards Hu Shu. The two collided, generating a powerful shockwave that cracked the ground around them. Hu Shu was sent flying backward by this force, crashing heavily onto the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Clan Leader!" "Lord Hu Shu!" The Human Race people were extremely anxious upon seeing this. But they did not panic. Under the leadership of a few elders, they continued to maintain the Defensive Formation.

The Witch Tribe's army took this opportunity to launch another fierce assault. Wave after wave of Witch Tribe warriors surged like a tide, colliding with the Defensive Formation and creating dazzling lights. The air was filled with shouts of killing and screams, and the smell of blood grew stronger.

Hu Shu struggled to stand up, looking at his tribe's tenacious resistance. He felt both relieved and guilty. "It's my fault I couldn't protect everyone. I can't let my tribe sacrifice themselves in vain anymore!" He endured the pain and plunged back into the battle.

Time slowly passed amidst the fierce fighting, and both sides fell into a stalemate. Although the Witch Tribe had a large number of people and was powerful, the Human Race, relying on the Defensive Formation, the terrain of Shouyang Mountain, and their tenacious will, held their line firmly. However, the Human Race people had also expended a lot of energy, and many were exhausted and wounded.

At this moment, a sinister glint flashed in the Witch Tribe Great Witch's eyes. He seemed to have a trump card, preparing to unleash an even more powerful Witchcraft to deliver a fatal blow to the Human Race. On the Human Race side, Hu Shu looked at his exhausted tribe with secret anxiety. He had to find a way to break the deadlock quickly, otherwise, utter destruction awaited the Human Race.
