"Hmph! Let's see how many waves you can block!"
Solitary Star was not surprised that his attack had failed. He snorted coldly and unleashed another True Judgment with a wave of his hand. Meanwhile, the shadows of Jian Shang and the surrounding buildings stirred, rippling violently like ferocious beasts struggling to break out of their cages.
I keep looking for an absolute counter, but perhaps there's no way to counter him absolutely in the first place! Overwhelm finesse with force... absolute power is the true path...
As he swung his sword to defend himself, Jian Shang pondered, unable to come up with a solution.
Looking at Solitary Star's flickering figure, Jian Shang darted forward like an arrow loosed from a bow. At the same time, he flipped his left hand, bringing out a formation disk several feet across. He raised it and roared:
"Come out!"
"Bzzz..."
The formation disk hummed as it rose into the air, turning into a ring of light more than ten meters across that slowly descended...
"Eight-Gate Heaven-Locking Formation, activate!"
At the same time, five figures slowly emerged from behind the surrounding massive pillars, prompting the startled Underworld Warriors to shout, "Who's there?!"
"Whoosh..."
The five figures shot forward as fast as streaks of light, plunging into the ring before the Underworld Warriors could react.
"Ice Sea Cold Current!"
"Heaven-and-Earth Golden Light Slash!"
The five figures were naturally the five top-tier God-King Warriors who had been hiding. Under Jian Shang's control, they launched a frenzied assault on Solitary Star the instant they entered the formation.
Since he could not find a counter, Jian Shang's plan was simple: trap Solitary Star and beat him to death with absolute power!
Solitary Star's ability to shift between reality and illusion did indeed grant immunity to most physical attacks,
