Both male and female Asuras were adept at traversing the void, coming and going without a trace, their movements ever-changing and impossible to predict.
As Gao Xian fought the male Asura with all his strength, the female Asura launched a sneak attack from behind. The two Asuras pincered him from front and rear, leaving Gao Xian caught in the middle and in great discomfort.
He could transform into the Taiyuan Divine Image and use Body-Sword Unity to break free without difficulty. Or he could activate the Blood River Celestial Venerable Transformation Origin Book, use the Breaking Army Divine Talisman, or even employ the Heavenly Dragon Law-Controlling True Eye—any of them could break this predicament.
But Gao Xian had to consider the battles to come. It was easy to use his secret arts to escape now, but those same arts would find it difficult to exert much power against two powerful Asuras.
Thoughts racing, Gao Xian ultimately decided to sacrifice one Taiji Divine Image avatar and test just how capable these two Asuras were.
He controlled the Primordial Heaven Wheel and unleashed the Anti-Five Elements Annihilation Divine Blade.
Clear and keen as water, the blade light whirled around Gao Xian like a spinning wheel, enveloping both Asuras before and behind him.
Yet neither Asura showed the slightest fear. Instead, they pressed straight in, attacking Gao Xian simultaneously from front and rear. In an instant, the two Asuras passed through the void like phantoms, and two palm-blades struck Gao Xian's chest and back at once.
Gao Xian had tempered his body with the Primordial Unity Five Qi Wheel, making it incomparably powerful. Even so, the Asuras' palm-blades carried a terrifying might capable of cleaving the void apart. His body, condensed by the Primordial Unity Five Qi Wheel, split apart beneath those palm-blades.
