The Dragon-Trapping Stratagem, Tian Lingshan
Inside the camp of the Yanling Commandery Alliance, the leaders of various factions, including True Man Qing Feng, True Man Ming Jian, and Master Ku Mu, gathered together.
Although today's battle saw the use of the Qi Breaking Blade to kill many renowned disciples of the Asura Sect, the most important figure, Zhuge Xiang, was not killed. In fact, he easily slew nine Limit Experts who were besieging him. Zhuge Xiang's combat prowess put immense pressure on the entire Alliance.
Zhuge Xiang, nicknamed "God of Slaughter," once possessed the strength to kill Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator. With the assistance of the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger, Fairy -level being, his strength was truly invincible. Although he was not Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator, his strength could be considered that of a powerful Deity Transformation stage expert.
On the Battlefield today, there were nine Qi Breaking Blades, nine Flying Magic Artifacts, Nine Limit Experts, and even a super expert like Jie Nu, who ranked fourteenth on the Dragon Phoenix Ranking. Originally, this should have been a sure-fire death situation. With the special effect of the Qi Breaking Blade, Cui was caught off guard and killed Zhuge Xiang before retreating at full speed. I believe even the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger wouldn't have had time to react.
But the reality was quite the opposite, making them truly understand what it means for ideals to be lofty while reality is harsh.
All Nine Limit Experts were killed by Zhuge Xiang. Zhuge Xiang's injuries were extremely severe; an ordinary person would have died long ago. However, despite suffering countless knife wounds, he remained incredibly vigorous, his vitality was strangely strong.
"His strength is getting stronger and stronger. On the entire Battlefield, apart from the three of us, who can subdue him?" True Man Ming Jian, who clearly understood Zhuge Xiang's current strength, said in a low voice.
"Are we just going to let him run rampant?" Master Ku Mu. At this moment, he no longer resembled a virtuous monk. His white beard fluttered without wind, and Jie Nu was seething with rage. The death of Jie Nu was also a great blow to Weituo Temple.
"Master Ku Mu, what brilliant plan do you have to kill Zhuge Xiang?" Seeing Master Ku Mu's furious and unyielding expression, True Man Qing Feng glanced at him and asked.
"..." Master Ku Mu was speechless after being asked this question by True Man Qing Feng.
Zhuge Xiang's strength is already so great, does he really have to take matters into his own hands? If the three Hall Masters of the Asura Sect make their move, things will get out of control. The Asura Sect Disciple are all battle maniacs.
Unable to act himself, and with other Qi Refining Stage disciples rushing in, they would only be throwing their lives away. So, despite his frustration, Master Ku Mu was speechless, having no effective way to deal with Zhuge Xiang.
"True Man Qing Feng, your mind has always been quite sharp. I wonder what your brilliant idea is?" He glanced at Master Ku Mu, his anger rising. Master Ku Mu was already in a state of confusion, so True Man Ming Jian turned to True Man Qing Feng and asked.
"My idea is to ignore Zhuge Xiang," True Man Qing Feng said, his eyes flashing slightly. "Although Zhuge Xiang is strong, he is still just a person. We've been wrong all along, always thinking about eliminating this major threat, but we haven't considered that we can actually disregard him."
"Oh? Ignore it? What do you mean?" True Man Qing Feng's words made True Man Ming Jian's eyes light up slightly. The leaders of the other forces also looked at True Man Qing Feng seriously, waiting for him to explain in detail. Even Master Ku Mu put away his anger.
"Zhuge Xiang is very strong. Killing him would be extremely difficult. However, if we simply ignore him and prevent him from interfering with us, it should be fine."
After surveying everyone around, True Man Qing Feng spoke up, saying confidently, "Killing him isn't enough, but if we send out a few experts, each wielding a powerful Spell Manipulation, just to entangle and trap him, that should be sufficient. By abandoning him, we can concentrate on dealing with the rest of the Asura Sect. This is Dragon-Trapping Stratagem."
"What a Dragon-Trapping Stratagem!" Upon hearing True Man Qing Feng's detailed explanation, True Man Ming Jian's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and laughed.
"This plan is indeed excellent. From another perspective, it opens up new possibilities. Without Zhuge Xiang, the morale of the Asura Sect Disciples will inevitably be affected. Moreover, in today's battle, their high-level combat strength suffered far greater losses than ours." Although Master Ku Mu frowned, he had to nod and admit that True Man Qing Feng's idea was very good. The leaders of other forces also nodded in agreement as they discussed the matter.
True Man Qing Feng's Dragon-Trapping Stratagem is simple: Zhuge Xiang is very strong, isn't he? Then don't kill him. Let several experts with strong defenses entangle him and trap him. They can't kill him, but they believe that keeping him occupied and protecting themselves from his attacks shouldn't be a problem.
By isolating Zhuge Xiang from the Battlefield, we can free up our resources to deal with the Asura Sect. Moreover, due to the Qi Breaking Blade today, nearly half of the Asura Sect's high-level disciples have been killed or wounded.
"Our Tiandao Sect has a Three Talents Formation, which is perfect for defense. It only requires three Limit Experts to practice it, and with the help of Spell Manipulation, I believe even a Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator can withstand it," said True Man Qing Feng, his eyes fixed on True Man Ming Jian and Master Ku Mu.
"Good! Besides Jie Nu, our Weituo Temple also has Jie Chen, whose cultivation is no less than that of Jie Nu." After a moment of contemplation, Master Ku Mu nodded. Then, a thin monk of about forty years old walked up behind him. This monk's face was neither sad nor happy, like a shadow. If he hadn't walked up, almost no one would have noticed his presence.
"Our Qingxu Sword Sect's Yan Dongsheng, the Yama Sword has also arrived. Although he was not good enough to kill Zhuge Xiang, he should be able to protect himself," the True Man Ming Jian nodded in agreement. Then, a man of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old walked up behind him, holding a sword in both hands, with his eyes lowered and his whole person seemed to be a peerless sword hidden in its sheath.
"Hehe, Yan Dongsheng, the Yama Sword? I really want to see the sword in your hand and test your cultivation as the eighteenth on the Dragon Phoenix Ranking," True Man Qing Feng of the Tiandao Sect hadn't spoken when a silvery laugh suddenly rang out.
A young girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a fiery red dress, stared at Yan Dongsheng with curiosity on her delicate face, radiating vitality.
"Junior Nephew Qing Feng, how about I participate in this Three Talents Formation?" The fiery red-clad girl asked, her bright eyes fixed on True Man Qing Feng.
These words shocked everyone present. A junior disciple? This girl's seniority was too high? And more importantly, none of the people present had seen how she appeared.
Looking at the girl in the fiery red dress, True Man Qing Feng's lips twitched, and his composed expression crumbled. Helplessly, he stood up and bowed to the girl with the respect due to a junior.
"Junior nephew Qing Feng greets Lingshan, but how did she come to this Ancient Qin Battlefield? Didn't Sect Master sect leader tell you to comprehend Sword Intent in Tianjian Gorge to break through to the Deity Transformation stage?" (To be continued...)
