At that moment, each Martial Artist guarding the Flame Passage held a burning torch. As long as Black Shadow dared launch a sneak attack, they would immediately throw the torches in their hands, then quickly retreat to avoid Black Shadow's attack, giving Black Shadow no chance to exploit.
Their main task was not to confront Black Shadow head-on, but to stay alert for Black Shadow's Sneak Attacks and observe the condition of the Flame Wall.
The moment they discovered that the Flame Wall in some place was damaged, or that Black Shadow was trying to destroy it, they would immediately gather together, throw the torches and burning timber in their hands over together, drive Black Shadow away, then quickly repair the damaged gap to ensure the integrity and safety of the Flame Passage.
After all, the Flame Passage was their only route of retreat to the Great Hall. Once the passage was destroyed, they would be completely isolated and helpless, surrounded on all sides by Black Shadow.
Moreover, Qian Ying was still holding the line in the Camping Area, so ensuring that the Flame Passage remained normal was absolutely necessary.
Everyone understood that as long as they completely blocked the gap at the very front of the Flame Passage, which was also where it connected to the Great Hall, and then set enough fires inside the Great Hall to ensure there were no dark places, they could all withdraw into the Great Hall and rely on its walls and the flames to resist Black Shadow's assault, gaining temporary safety.
Therefore, whether it was the Martial Artists repairing the gap or those guarding the passage, all of them were giving it everything they had, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
The battle at the gap had never stopped. Zhou
