Capítulo 1176: Chapter 447: A Sudden Sense of Crisis
The battle scene was incredibly fierce.
Situ Xing manipulated the sword light, darting back and forth like a meteor, displaying a demeanor that could burst through a throng of enemies with ease.
Zhu Fenxiang, on the other hand, had a different combat style. She occupied a corner of the Martial Arts Arena, maintaining a stable defense, surrounded by at least two Gods, focusing on defense more than attack, yet still holding the upper hand.
Ning Zhuo discerned the reason: “Situ Xing’s combat technique uses his sword to set up Formations. In doing so, the Formation becomes powerful, altering the battlefield, enhancing his combat power, and the sword light becomes sharp enough to severely harm or even kill enemy cultivators.”
“Compared to Situ Xing, Zhu Fenxiang’s combat style is much more straightforward and brutal.”
“She simply needs to summon a Divine Avatar to assist in combat.”
“Zhu Fenxiang continually prevents Situ Xing from setting up a larger Sword Array. Therefore, relying on just one Golden Core Level Divine Avatar for attack can cause severe disruption.”
“At the beginning of the battle, Situ Xing deploys a Sword Array around him, elevating his combat power to Golden Core Level, but it’s not enough to defeat Zhu Fenxiang. Only by setting up a stronger Sword Array might he have a chance.”
“Both sides are contending with each other on this point.”
With this thought, Ning Zhuo paused: “My grasp on the battle’s dynamics has become clearer and more thorough. This should be the addition of Military Family’s True Intent and reasoning. Excellent, excellent.”
He suddenly recalled the issue of “Situ Xing and Shen Xi being at odds with each other.”
He understood this intel better: “No wonder Situ Xing wants to suppress Shen Xi. It’s possibly because Shen Xi is also skilled in setting up arrays, particularly the Nine Palace Formation, one of the Nine Great Static Arrays requiring calculations.”
“Earlier, Shen Xi even defeated Situ Xing in a confrontation. It could be because Shen Xi’s array skills were superior to Situ Xing’s, making it difficult for him to set up his array?”
The insight from the three aspects elevated Ning Zhuo’s realm, affecting every facet of Ning Zhuo’s future cultivation and life.
The enhancement in battle observation ability is just a small manifestation of this.
Situ Xing and Zhu Fenxiang had clashed several times before, well aware of each other’s capabilities.
Both sides went back and forth, one aiming to implement his Sword Array tactics, the other with little need for tactics, constantly striving to thwart Situ Xing’s strategies.
During combat, the sword light left by Situ Xing on the battlefield was akin to moves in a game of Go. The more moves made, the more advantageous for him.
Finally, he managed to leverage a new trump card, securing crucial time to successfully set up another powerful Sword Array.
“Zhu Fenxiang, meet your defeat in my Star Sword Formation!” Situ Xing shouted, his hands flying rapidly, forming intricate sword seals.
Every seal he precisely carved with his fingers was tied to the Star Power in the Sword Array.
Thus, the star swords divided.
One becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight… In the blink of an eye, three hundred and sixty-five star swords densely hovered around Situ Xing.
The next moment, sword light shot out, like a shower of meteors falling.
Zhu Fenxiang hurriedly mobilized three Gods to fully shield herself.
Suddenly, the star swords dominated, forcing Zhu Fenxiang and the three Gods into a disadvantaged position.
Zhu Fenxiang remained calm, unperturbed amidst crisis, retrieved a miniature divine statue from her bosom.
She half-knelt on the ground, cupped the miniature divine statue in both hands, pressing it against her heart.
“Over the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, thick soil is superior! Across the Eight Wilderness and Six Directions, the Prison Guardian sustains Heaven! Believer Fenxiang, with my blood, my bones, my soul as the guide, I entreat the mysterious peak! Humbly inviting the Earth God True Monarch—descend upon the mortal world!”
She called out loudly.
The next moment, Zhu Fenxiang’s aura plummeted like a waterfall, she seemed weak to the point of collapse.
Offering her own foundation as sacrificial treasure, she successfully attracted the gaze of Earth God True Monarch, channeling divine power to descend as an avatar!
The divine statue in Zhu Fenxiang’s hands emitted a dazzling divine light.
The divine light pierced the sky, transforming into a soil-yellow light column.
With the dispersal of the light column, Zhu Fenxiang had vanished, replaced by a divine body standing three zhang tall.
The God was draped in Xuanhuang Rock Armor, dark gold earth-vein lava slowly trickled through the crevices of the armor.
Through the heavy helmet, the revealed eyes were incredibly profound, as steady as ancient mountains, capable of supporting all things, suppressing all evils!
A torrential Divine Power, like the awakening of the Ancient Divine Mountain, descended with a resounding crash!
The Great God—Earth God True Monarch!
Zhu Fenxiang was safely shielded within the divine body.
Situ Xing’s expression changed drastically; with Earth God True Monarch merely standing in the Formation, he felt the stagnation in the operation of the Star Sword Formation, as if a giant python had swallowed a hill, struggling to digest it.
The Prison Guardian True Monarch launched an attack.
Boom, boom, boom…
Each strike erupted with deafening roars, unleashing surges of Xuanhuang dust waves.
The Star Sword Formation’s operations faltered, the intertwined starlight within the array seemed like a fragile spider web, shattering inch by inch.
The meteoric sword radiance, striking the body of Prison Guardian True Monarch, only stirred up plumes of dust before disintegrating completely.
Zhu Fenxiang’s voice transmitted from the divine body: “Situ Xing, I precisely wanted you to set up this grand array, so that I could crush you head-on! This defeat, you won’t have any excuses!”
Big! Big! Big!
The divine body of Earth God True Monarch expanded, almost towering to the heavens and over the earth.
The operation of the Star Sword Formation became increasingly difficult, as if a stomach was about to burst.
True Monarch extended his giant hand of Xuanhuang divine rock, grasped the air, and forcefully pulled towards himself.
In the next moment, the Star Sword Formation seemed to have its backbone removed; the array collapsed, star swords erratically flying, completely out of control.
The backlash from the array fiercely crashed into Situ Xing’s Divine Soul and body, as if struck by lightning, he spat a mouthful of fresh blood wildly.
