Chapter 1418 - 1416: Battle Su Zhong
"Boom! Nine Suns Blast!"
"Boom! Myriad Slashes Immortal Gang!"
"Boom! Nine Phoenixes Slash!"
...
Accompanied by the shouts of everyone, strands of Gang Qi transformed into attacks, rushing towards Su Zhong from all directions, completely sealing off the space around him. The power of the crowd was so strong that it caused subtle fluctuations in the space surrounding Su Zhong, making it impossible for him to escape even if he wanted to.
"Shameless!"
Seeing such attacks from the crowd, Su Zhong’s face changed dramatically, and he coldly rebuked them. He felt incredibly frustrated, never expecting them to attack like this and with such coordination. Although his strength was extraordinary, without defense, he couldn’t withstand such a barrage!
So after speaking, he immediately manipulated the blue Gang Qi to form a rapidly rotating sphere over two yards in diameter around him. Its speed reached a terrifying level in an instant, completely shielding Su Zhong inside the sphere. This move was a rarely used defensive maneuver—Myriad Laws Return to Origin. Faced with this attack, he had no choice but to use it; being injured by these people would be too embarrassing.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
In the blink of an eye, the attacks launched by Xia Chupeng and the others collided with the blue sphere, producing loud explosions. What frustrated Xia Chupeng and others was that, although their attacks hit the blue sphere, it was incredibly formidable, instantly deflecting their attacks into empty space.
After the last attack was rebounded, the blue sphere surrounding Su Zhong stopped. In the eyes of the crowd, Su Zhong emerged from it, completely unharmed. However, Su Zhong’s face did not look good; it turned iron-blue. He hadn’t made a move, yet Xia Chupeng and his group had besieged him. This made him feel he was losing face!
"Courting death!"
Su Zhong looked at Xia Chupeng and the others, snorted coldly, and prepared to strike them. But before he could act, the second wave of attacks from Xia Chupeng and the others arrived. This time, the attacks were even fiercer than before. In the blink of an eye, the sky and earth changed drastically, and several attacks shot towards Su Zhong again, enveloping him from all sides without any blind spots. If Su Zhong wanted to attack anyone, he would have to get hit by other attacks!
It should be known that Xia Chupeng and these individuals were exceptionally powerful, with four Human Immortal Realm experts and several Divine Change Realm experts. Even Su Zhong couldn’t ignore such an assault. Faced with this situation, Su Zhong was instantly furious, but he had to ensure his own safety first. Realizing this, he resorted to using Myriad Laws Return to Origin once more. This was his strongest defensive move, and he could only rely on it now!
Little did Su Zhong know, from the beginning of the battle, Xia Chupeng and others had reached a consensus through Divine Sense. Everyone knew Su Zhong was extremely formidable, and dealing with him couldn’t be done with just one or two people. The only method was to trap Su Zhong, using long-range bombardments incessantly to force him to show a flaw.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
A series of powerful explosions resounded once more, as several attacks landed on the blue sphere protecting Su Zhong. This time, the power was so immense that the rumble shook the heavens and the earth, causing tremors in the ground, and even hinting at black cracks in the surrounding space, demonstrating the formidable level of this attack.
Yet, even though the crowd’s attacks had reached such a formidable level, Su Zhong’s blue sphere remained completely intact, flawlessly protecting him. Seeing this, Xia Chupeng and the others became anxious. They had exerted full force in their combined assault, yet still couldn’t contend with Su Zhong. What should they do now? If Su Zhong had a moment to breathe, they’d be in danger.
Thinking of this, the crowd quickly dismissed any hesitation, knowing very well that even if their attacks momentarily had no effect on Su Zhong, they couldn’t stop. They absolutely could not give Su Zhong a chance to strike back! In an instant, varied attacks were once again unleashed...
"Open Mountain Slash!"
"Myriad Transformation Heaven Wheel!"
"Falling Phoenix Slash!"
"Vast Heaven and Earth Slash!"
...
The crowd attacked Su Zhong as if Gang Qi didn’t cost them anything, and Su Zhong, who was in Myriad Laws Return to Origin, was furious. He hadn’t expected them to be so shameless, with so many people attacking him, not giving him a chance to retaliate. This made him extremely angry, wishing he could strike them down immediately. But this was only his thought, as he absolutely could not stop Myriad Laws Return to Origin now; stopping it would certainly lead to an attack he couldn’t bear to face!
Let’s see how long these people can hold out!
Suddenly, a thought popped into Su Zhong’s mind. Isn’t this situation quite favorable? Using Myriad Laws Return to Origin expends little of his Gang Qi, while Xia Chupeng and the others, as attackers, use far more. Before long, they won’t be able to keep it up, and when their attacks reveal a flaw, that’s when Su Zhong will strike. Thinking this, Su Zhong no longer rushed, instead controlling Myriad Laws Return to Origin, waiting for them to expose a flaw.
And as Su Zhong was thinking this, how could Xia Chupeng and others not realize it? After several waves of attacks, everyone noticed that the situation far exceeded their expectations, and for the time being, it left them a bit flustered. While continuing to attack Su Zhong, they began seeking solutions through Divine Sense.
Quick, think of a solution, or we’ll lose to Su Zhong if this goes on any longer.
What can we do? This guy’s just too tough, even with so many of us, we haven’t got a hold of him!
Is there any special move to deal with Su Zhong?
I don’t have one; that thing of his, the defensive power is just too high!
Wait, I think I might have a move, but it needs the right timing!
What is it; what do we need to do?
I need there to be plenty of Spiritual Energy and Gang Qi around, the more, the better; it can be ours or Su Zhong’s.
That’s a bit tricky, Su Zhong is barely affected by anything.
What if we entice him to use the Unity Sword Array, then what?
Yes, that Unity Sword Array likely contains a quarter of Su Zhong’s Gang Qi, adding ours, and we should be able to take a shot!
...
The group began to discuss their strategy. At first, no one had any solutions, but eventually, Xia Lalan remembered the Phoenix Cry Under the Heavens move she used in a past competition. At that time, she was only in the early Infinitesimal Realm, but now she had reached the Divine Change Realm initial stage. If unleashed, it should give Su Zhong a tough time. Xia Chupeng and Song Liao were surprised by the unique move Xia Lalan possessed, but having some hope was better than none, so they began discussing the detailed steps.
In a blink, a short moment passed, and suddenly everyone stopped attacking Su Zhong, standing at a distance watching him. Su Zhong also dissipated Myriad Laws Return to Origin, looking at them. This time, he wasn’t in a hurry to attack. After such strong waves of attacks, these people were no longer capable of injuring him. He planned to have some fun with them now.
"Why did you stop attacking? Out of strength already?" Looking at the crowd, Su Zhong spoke as if he were looking down on the world, his tone mocking. He had already begun planning whom to take down first, arranging the order for execution.
But Xia Chupeng and the others said nothing, immediately charging towards Su Zhong, each one’s Gang Qi erupting to its peak, appearing ready for a life-and-death fight with Su Zhong. Seeing this, Su Zhong’s eyes were filled with disdain. With this level of strength, they thought they could clash head-on with him; it was simply courting death!
Thinking of this, he then unleashed the Unity Sword Array. In an instant, eighty-one small cyan Gang Qi swords rushed to all directions, trapping Xia Chupeng and the others within. The Sword Array formed instantly, enveloping the entire area in cyan Gang Qi. The moment those small cyan swords started absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Energy, they turned into enormous cyan swords over three zhang long.
At this moment, the power of the Sword Array began to reveal itself. Around the ruins of the Heavenly Immortal Mansion, the Spiritual Energy was drawn towards the Unity Sword Array, forming a Spiritual Energy Vortex in a radius of several miles. Unlike any previous vortex, this one was light blue, and without exaggeration, the Spiritual Energy density surpassed anyone’s imagination. Supported by such dense Spiritual Energy, the power of the Unity Sword Array was enhanced to an unimaginable level.
In an instant, countless cyan Sword Gangs surged from those giant cyan swords, completely surrounding Xia Chupeng and the others. At this point, a smile appeared on Su Zhong’s face. The Unity Sword Array was already powerful, and with the support of the Heavenly Immortal Mansion’s Spiritual Energy, its power was magnified immensely. Under such circumstances, Xia Chupeng and his group couldn’t possibly withstand it! He was now waiting to see how Xia Chupeng and the others would be defeated by the Unity Sword Array!
But to Su Zhong’s utter amazement, these were merely his wishful thoughts. Just as the cyan Sword Gangs began forming, Leng Hao pushed Xia Lalan into the air, and the white Gang Qi on her body surprisingly condensed into a white Phoenix several zhang large. The Phoenix’s wings and crest even shimmered with dazzling golden light, impossible to directly gaze at. Seeing such an attack, Su Zhong nearly laughed openly. Just a Huangmao girl in the early Divine Change Realm, did she think such an attack could do anything to him?
But immediately, Su Zhong froze, as he had never imagined such a bizarre event would occur afterward...
As Xia Lalan’s conjured white Phoenix began absorbing the Spiritual Energy from the heavens and earth, it instantly robbed the Spiritual Energy gathered by the Unity Sword Array. That wasn’t all; this white Phoenix even took control of the Spiritual Energy Vortex over several miles formed by the Unity Sword Array, and even the cyan Sword Gangs aimed at the crowd were forcibly drawn into the white Phoenix!
