Ye Rong viewed each of the Barbarian Mountain disciples as meritorious deeds, attacking each with a ruthless and relentless sword, showing no mercy.
Under this rampant slaughter, the Barbarian Mountain's formation quickly collapsed, and the remaining players successively chose to give up on the Good and Evil Sword Fighting task and withdrew from the area—
This task can be given up halfway, but such behavior will not receive any rewards, including the merits you have accumulated earlier. Moreover, you cannot sign up again, and the punishment for task failure will still follow.
Therefore, players generally won't choose this option unless they have no hope.
This is why, at the beginning of the sword fighting, the Barbarian Mountain disciples had no merits accumulated. Even if they chose to give up immediately and withdrew, they wouldn't lose much, so many players took this action.
