Facing the combined assault of three powerful opponents, even Xiao Yan found himself in an agonizing bind. The other two were manageable; at least he was fairly familiar with how they attacked. Liu Feng, however, posed an immense threat. Every time he struck, he left Xiao Yan scrambling. Though both men bore the title of Sword Saint, this fellow was far more formidable than the Azure-Robed Sword Saint.
I have to find a way to finish one of them first. If this keeps up, I'll be in serious trouble. As Xiao Yan fended off their attacks, he searched for a way to break the deadlock. He also felt a little relieved. Fortunately, his two clones had drawn the other two away. Against all five at once, he truly would have had no chance of winning.
After taking another slash from the Sword Saint head-on, Xiao Yan was sent flying backward. Watching Lin Dong and the others press their assault, he rapidly changed his hand seals. Raging flames erupted, forming an illusory dragon in midair. It opened its jaws, and a black-and-white beam of energy swiftly gushed from its mouth.
This attack combined Xiao Yan's Dragon Roar Demon-Subduing Art with the Maha Immeasurable Calamity. These two peerless Divine Abilities had originally had no connection, but in his Firmament Transformation state, Xiao Yan relied on his tremendous control to fuse them perfectly, unleashing this astonishing might.
Faced with the fusion of two peerless Divine Abilities, even Lin Dong and Mu Chen were driven straight back. As they retreated, a peculiar object appeared above each of their heads. Above Mu Chen was a crystalline Buddha Tower, while above Lin Dong was the Eight Ancestors Glazed Bowl, forged from the Eight Ancestral Symbols.
The enormous tower and the glazed bowl descended together, enclosing them.
