Su Beiheng smiled kindly at this and looked once more toward that incomparably terrifying claw pressing down...
At that moment... Rumble!
The claw truly descended, pressing down atop the entire Beiheng Sword Formation.
It wildly swept toward all directions as well. A second One-Claw Domain was about to take shape, and the surroundings would turn into a terrifying hell.
Yet a chorus of "buzz buzz buzz" rang out.
The Beiheng Sword Formation still stood firm against it, as though even if the sky collapsed, the Beiheng Sword Formation would stubbornly hold it up.

But what exactly this force that balanced them was, no one knew.
Whether it was a person, a formation, or some other force of rules, no one knew either. Given Sikong Jing's nature,
