All five figures of Green Calyx laughed at once. She had naturally anticipated Lu Xiaotian's desperate counterattack, but breaking through her elusive doppelganger technique was no easy feat. Even if his methods truly were astonishing and he managed to break through directly, the Wood-Gathering Heaven-Splitting Rings closing in from all sides would already have completely surrounded him. By then, the situation would be settled.
"Is that so?" Lu Xiaotian shook his head and casually raised a hand. The Demon-Suppressing Tower floated around him, and the Buddhist images within it cast seals of Buddha light to block the attacks of the five rings. Meanwhile, Lu Xiaotian's true body pointed a finger, and a soul-origin sword shadow slowly shot forth. He had spent far less time cultivating the Soul-Origin Sword Body than he had on the Maha Buddhadharani Sutra, but as the disparity between the two grew with time, the advantage of his powerful Primordial Spirit in cultivating the Soul-Origin Sword Body became increasingly apparent. At this point, the Soul-Origin Sword Body could not match the Demon-Suppressing Tower or the relics in a prolonged battle, but its short-term explosive power had already surpassed theirs.
Green Calyx's cultivation was roughly on par with that of the woman in the green dress, perhaps even a touch stronger. Each had the advantage in the fields they specialized in, but Green Calyx was now devoting most of her energy to controlling the Wood-Gathering Heaven-Splitting Rings around them. In a direct confrontation with Lu Xiaotian, she was at a relative disadvantage.
If Lu Xiaotian had been an ordinary celestial immortal, or even one whose cultivation was about the same as Green Calyx's, he might not have been able to seize this opportunity. But Lu Xiaotian was not merely human; he had also cultivated a dragon body.
