Facing the people from Lingxiao Pavilion, they had no confidence of winning at all and wanted to concede. But when they saw that only Ling Yue was stepping forward, their thoughts began to stir. If they could defeat just one person, then their side would at least save some face when word got out.
Hearing their leader's words, the others were tempted too. They knew the people from Lingxiao Pavilion wouldn't kill them, so they also wanted to spar. Each wore a grave expression as they took their places in the formation they had planned, ready to defend with all their might.
With a flash, Ling Yue appeared several hundred zhang from their formation. She gave a charming laugh, then summoned a large, ice-blue bow. Drawing it into a full moon, she formed a single ice-blue Spiritual Energy Arrow.
The Spiritual Energy Arrow was several zhang long, crystalline from tip to tip and glowing ice-blue. A bone-chilling cold spread from it, and even the surrounding space seemed to stiffen, as though it were about to freeze.
But that was not all. A strange ripple spread outward, and seals one after another merged into the Spiritual Energy Arrow.
Seeing Ling Yue draw her bow, the opposing leader's expression changed. He shouted, "Form up! Defend with all your might!"
At that, everyone summoned their flying swords and formed a curtain of blades. But that was not all: light appeared beside them again, and each person summoned another weapon, this time gripping it in their hands. They were clearly weapons for close-quarters combat.
"Tsk, tsk, Brother Ling. After cultivating their hearts, these people all chose heavy, powerful weapons as their second Natal Dan Artifacts. I suppose that has something to do with you." Huangfu Qiye clicked his tongue, his tone full of amusement.
