The army-slaying formation patterns beneath Sikong Jing's feet exploded outward, sweeping toward Jun Yiji and everyone else.
By now, Jun Yiji and the others were wounded and exhausted. Few among them could still fight, and Jun Yiji herself could barely form an army-slaying formation anymore. Naturally, Sikong Jing had to do it.
In an instant, Sikong Jing's Break Nine Heavens Army-Slaying Formation was complete, though it looked exceedingly weak.
The soldiers and generals under his command were severely wounded and weak, so naturally the army-slaying formation was weak as well.
