Fine, needle-like rain shot onto the barrier only to ricochet back, forcing the white-clothed man retreating from the wrong passage into a frantic scramble. He tried to sidestep, but was promptly struck at the waist by Da Hu with a follow-up slash.

His eyes blazed as he hurled a Giant Door Prop—a standing metallic door. While unable to block the passage completely, it formed an impenetrable shield on the left, right, and top. Da Hu, frustrated after multiple attempts with other props couldn't break through, became visibly enraged and barked toward Xu Huo and Lin Qian, who hadn't gone far ahead: "He's definitely holding a Flower Card—don't let anyone else get it!"
This single sentence pulled the previously uninvolved duo into the fray.
