[Y/n]'s senses were acutely attuned as if they had been sharpened by the intensity of the moment, primed to spring into action at the slightest provocation. As the maiden statue struck down at the group, a nimble sidestep spared them from the impending collision, and a dense cloud of dust erupted from the impact. A tumultuous dance of dust and fragmented earth twirled chaotically in the air, shrouding the surroundings in a murky haze. [Y/n] landed gracefully, seamlessly transitioning into a defensive stance, her sword gleaming in the dim light, poised for the imminent onslaught. With nimble and deft motions, Lan Wangji coiled his muscles, poised in readiness to deliver a decisive strike. 

The maiden statue, a formidable opponent, swung its colossal fist toward Lan Wangji, who smoothly sidestepped the impending blow. His movements mirrored the grace of a seasoned dancer, and as Bichen sliced through the air, an aura of ice and snow trailed behind, shimmering with frosty allure. Effortlessly avoiding the maiden's subsequent attacks, Lan Wangji slipped away with finesse, landing precise blows that sent shockwaves through his arm. The statue maiden, momentarily stunned, stumbled backward, its rocky surface resonating with the impact of Lan Wangji's counterattack. Swiftly regaining composure, the maiden launched a relentless flurry of strikes, each executed with lethal precision. Lan Wangji's footfalls were light and soft, as if he were a ghost gliding through the darkness. 

Wei Wuxian, undeterred by the formidable opponent, joined the fray. His fingers tightly grasped the maiden's massive forearm, the friction causing a searing burn that only fueled his determination. Braving the pain, he established a firm grip on the rocky surface. Demonstrating tenacity, Wei Wuxian maneuvered around the statue's arm, utilizing the momentum to swing himself over its colossal body. His hair billowed behind him as he soared above him. Striking from above, he sought weak points, but the maiden's unyielding exterior proved impenetrable, absorbing the impact without flinching. The maiden statue raised her fist, primed for a powerful counterattack. Yet he foresaw the maneuver, executing a swift mid-air somersault and flawlessly delivering a well-placed kick directly to her head. Unfazed, Wei Wuxian swiftly recalibrated his approach, scrutinizing the statue for any potential vulnerabilities to exploit in their arduous battle. Wei Wuxian growls almost imperceptibly, channeling his spiritual energy to fortify himself.

In a split-second decision, [Y/n] deftly rolled over on the ground beneath the towering maiden, rapidly swiping her sword at it as she lunged over her, before crashing headlong into a rock formation with a resounding thud. With the adrenaline coursing through her veins, [Y/n] swiftly regained her footing, summoning all her strength as she leaped up towards the wall, landing a powerful kick squarely on the maiden statue's face. But in a swift and calculated move, the statue remained unmoved, its stone visage unyielding to her attack. 'The maiden statue is impenetrable.' [Y/n] swiftly discerned that sheer physical strength alone would not prove sufficient to overcome the formidable maiden statue. With seamless agility, [Y/n] sidestepped a swipe from the maiden's fingers, her body moving in synchrony with the supernatural speed of her adversary. As its fingers grazed past her, she retaliated quickly and decisively. [Y/n] executed a swift, circular motion, bringing her right leg up in a swift and powerful kick. She aimed for the maiden's head, her heel slicing through the air with remarkable speed, executing a forceful kick that propelled away from her.
