All Alone
But Jiang Yue and Wang Xiawei's delay had naturally disrupted Jiang Ling's efforts to support the Titan Seven Kill Formation. Victory or defeat often hinged on a single moment.
Grand Scholar Jiang Ling tried everything he could, but still couldn't break free of Jiang Yue's entanglement and obstruction. Wang Xiawei's harassment hadn't inflicted any damage, but it had still left him flustered and irritable.
At last, a gap appeared in the Titan Seven Kill Formation.
Once the gap opened, the Star City Squad's terrifying attacks had an opportunity to get through. If the formation's defenses were breached, the seven retainers would have to face the squad's attacks directly, and they were bound to end up fighting alone.
