After restoring some of his spiritual power and divine sense, Jiang Ding opened his eyes.
He went to the edge of the Heavenly Star Big Dipper Formation and quietly watched Sun Slayer Heavenly Lord, Vast Sea Heavenly Lord, and the others besiege Wang Chongdao.
Sun Slayer Heavenly Lord and nine others formed a battle formation. The fortress cannons built into their bonded treasures fired without pause, shells striking the upper-grade fifth-tier Heavenly Star Big Dipper Formation and Wang Chongdao inside the Starry Sky Fortress. The blasts rocked him from side to side, scattering light from his shield. He barely held on as his spiritual power drained away.
"Not bad."
"The seniors certainly know how to play it safe."
Jiang Ding watched for a while, with no intention of joining the fight, and voiced his admiration.
These seniors had a wealth of combat experience. With no urgent military situation pressing them, they advanced steadily, wearing down their enemy's spiritual power, divine sense, and reserve of spirit stones for the formation. They refused to take the slightest risk, devoting half their strength to defense.
Wang Chongdao was like a butterfly caught in a spiderweb. The more he struggled, the more exhausted he became.
Eventually, his spiritual power and divine sense would fall to their limit.
Wang Chongdao had clearly seen it too. He had tried burning his blood essence to fight for his life, but Vast Sea Heavenly Lord and the others had held firm, grinding down his assault bit by bit and forcing him back into the same battle of attrition.
Fight? He could not win.
Flee? He could not escape.
Risk his life? He could not threaten them. He could not even put any of them in danger.
That was the predicament Wang Chongdao found himself in.
"Glad you approve."
