To deal with Jin Chan, what plan should be used?
First, lure the cicada from the mountain, then draw the cicada into the formation, restrict the cicada's divine abilities, show the cicada weakness, strike while the cicada was unprepared, rise up in sudden attack, and scatter the cicada's ashes.
Li Changshou understood that this was the key battle in his advance toward Tushita Palace!
But to be fair, if Li Changshou were to "happen upon" Golden Cicada now and face him head-on, Li Changshou would naturally be no match for Golden Cicada.
There was no other reason. Their accumulations in every aspect of cultivation were simply too far apart.
In fighting techniques, divine abilities, and speed of response, the present Li Changshou lagged quite considerably behind Golden Cicada.
But Li Changshou deeply understood the importance of "adapting to circumstances." He would never force himself to save face and truly go head-to-head with the Six-winged Golden Cicada.
If his combat strength was insufficient, schemes would make up the difference.
Set up a few formations, add a hundred million little stratagems.
With the Daoist Sect Senior Brother escorting him and an Innate Supreme Treasure personally protecting him, Li Changshou was actually already invincible.
What he needed to consider was how to "trap the cicada" and "break its defenses."
The Great Mage was also worried that Li Changshou might accidentally be counterkilled by Jin Chan, so this time, he had been anything but stingy.
When they went to the Western Sea to arrange the ambush, the Great Mage had given Li Changshou three aids specifically tailored to Jin Chan's divine abilities:
The Water-Fire Return Array—to seal off heaven and earth;
The Nine Spirits Mysterious Qi Array—to trap Golden Cicada and break his extreme speed;
And two Nine-Turn Golden Elixirs.
