The protective Formation collapsed in mere moments. The other Law Artifacts and Law Techniques continued their assault unabated, bearing down on the Hu Lineage. With the Formation broken, the Hu Lineage had lost its last defensive support.
Countless attacks rained down upon the Hu Lineage's ancestral hall.
