Dozens of spears formed from gold dust pierced the surface of the Golden Sand Flowing River.
The rushing river failed to stop the spiraling gold dust drill tips.
The glittering flecks at the bottom of the river likewise failed to stop the rapidly spinning gold dust spears.
Jing Xiu frowned slightly. The Golden Sand Flowing River was powerful, and its waters could even turn gold into water.
But the gold dust spears had too much penetrating power, and Rasa was pouring all his strength into empowering them.
It was like fitting a spiraling spear with a rocket booster.
As long as the spiraling spear's tip was hard enough and its penetrating power did not diminish, it could even pierce through the earth beneath their feet.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Sounds like blows striking worn leather echoed throughout the Eight Trigrams Grand Formation.
To Rasa, they were music to his ears, but Jing Xiu sighed softly.
"It seems my understanding of Feng Hou Qimen is still lacking. Otherwise, why couldn't the Golden Sand Flowing River dissolve the gold dust spears?"
When the Eight Trigrams Grand Formation broke, Jing Xiu merely felt a little dizzy. After a few breaths, he had returned to normal.
Rasa's chest, however, heaved like a bellows as he took deep breaths.
"Retreat!"
A shower of golden sand burst above the battlefield, and Sunagakure's army withdrew in an orderly fashion under the Jōnin's direction.
Sunagakure seemed better at retreating than attacking.
Jing Xiu wiped the bloody tears from the corners of his eyes. "With my current divine soul cultivation, constructing such a complex genjutsu using only Three-Tomoe..."
"Was it still too much of a strain?"
He silently circulated his cultivation technique to check his eyes again. "Looks like I'll have to spend another three months blind!"
