Synopsis

The chapter focuses on a strategic retreat as the main characters face overwhelming odds against the powerful Heavenly Demon Saber and his forces. They recognize their disadvantage but choose to defy traditional martial arts wisdom by retreating to a narrow path by a cliff, which can be defended more easily. The team plans to use the approaching rain to their advantage and sacrifices a rearguard to give time for the others to escape. The decision to retreat is deemed unorthodox, emphasizing a willingness to break the mold, and relies on the guide to lead them to the narrow path to give them an advantage.
