The Holy Body magic corpse of Wu Che embodies defense, self-healing, counterattack and other divine skills into one. Wu Xuan used to spar with him often and knows better than most how troubleso this Holy Body is.
A golden light soared into the sky, and as soon as it reached the air, four black flags suddenly appeared.
The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise each erged from the four flags, forming a Four Symbols Formation, locking the golden light within.
"The Four Symbols Constantly Small Heavenly Array Flags…"
With the array shielding himself, Wu Xuan sighed.
Any top-tier expert can be crucial to the battlefield. Since the Da Lan Dynasty placed the Royal Chief Sacrificial Officer in Daluo Town to 'wait for the rabbit', they had anticipated that the Buddhists would make their move here!
Standing on the cloud sea clad in a blue robe, Zhou Xuanwo looked down.
He had been guarding here all along. When Wu Xuan made a move against Zhao Jin, he did not intervene imdiately.
Because to him, capturing Wu Xuan's true form was more important than saving soone to ensure that Wu Xuan couldn't escape.
This ga started when the Grand Secretary Ye Ze'an first placed the pieces.
Be it Hua Yanjun or Zhao Jin.
These usually high-up cabinet ministers had also beco pawns that could be sacrificed!
Zhou Xuanwo gestured with hand seals, manipulating the Four Symbols Constantly Small Heavenly Array to change, with the four sacred beasts launching attacks on Wu Xuan in turns.
Soon, the Holy Body magic corpse also ca into the air, stepping into the battle with Wu Xuan.
This Holy Body that belonged to Wu Che was ultimately taken by Bai ng, Sect Master of the Star Picking Sect and also a Royal Tributor, becoming her second Lifebound Magic Item.
Due to the special nature of the Holy Body, Bai ng herself was not present, controlling the Holy Body magic corpse from a thousand miles away to assist Zhou Xuanwo in combat.
As the Royal Chief Sacrificial Officer, Zhou Xuanwo was already a Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Great Perfection expert. He had the upper hand, trapping the enemy with the Four Symbols Constantly Small Heavenly Array, and the Holy Body magic corpse assisting. Unless West Pole Country dispatched a Peak Strong Person, breaking the array was impossible!
Ye Ze'an told Li Fei that his move this ti was not recent but pre-arranged for the Daluo Sect.
Within the Four Symbols Constantly Small Heavenly Array, Wu Xuan was already falling into a disadvantage.
He was rely at the Heavenly Gang level realm, hardly a match for Zhou Xuanwo alone, let alone having to face an indestructible Holy Body magic corpse.
Yet Wu Xuan appeared calm.
In Daluo Town, Zhao Jin, who had narrowly escaped death, looked towards the sky, feeling lingering fear:
"Turns out Chief Zhou is here."
He laughed at himself and shook his head.
By now, he realized, both he and Hua Yanjun were just pawns.
Just as he was thinking, the sound of mighty waters suddenly ca to his ears.
It seed as if water from the heavenly river was pouring into the mortal world!
Soon, Zhao Jin beheld an unforgettable sight——
A golden river surged from the void, mighty like a dragon.
As soon as this river appeared, the atmosphere was filled with rich Martial Arts True Intent, sweeping away the mist and rain within a hundred miles of the Daluo Sect!
The Four Symbols Constantly Small Heavenly Array shattered like a bubble at a touch.
The previously majestic Four Holy Beasts were like fish and shrimp in a river before this golden river, rely 'going with the flow', always resisting without strength.
"Oh no!"
Zhao Jin's mind went blank.
He had never seen the two heavenly kings of the Buddhists but had heard many related legends.
Such power, only the third-ranked River Guardian Heavenly King from the Peak List could possess.
Not only did the Buddhists send a Great Arhat, but they also dispatched the third in the world!
Zhao Jin had just thought that the Da Lan Dynasty made a strategic move, 'baiting' a Great Arhat.
But now, it seed the Da Lan Dynasty might lose a Holy Body magic corpse and a Royal Chief Sacrificial Officer today!
Cloud sea above, Zhou Xuanwo, spitting blood, retrieved his Four Symbols Constantly Small Heavenly Array Flags.
As for the Holy Body magic corpse, it had been swept into the Martial Arts River, temporarily losing control.
Zhou Xuanwo did not hesitate, imdiately flying towards the Daluo Sect mountain gate.
He had not expected to encounter a Peak Strong Person of the Buddhists here.
Wenren Zheng, with the Green Frost Army and many strong persons, was stationed at the border with the West Pole Country, along with the Profound Heart True Monarch of the Upper Pure Sect.
If the Buddhists dared to 'split their forces', missing one Peak Strong Person within West Pole Country would face great risk.
Even if unable to breach West Pole Country for now, Wenren Zheng could lead troops into West Pole Country's borders, creating chaos, depleting their national fortune, and striking their morale!
Thus, considering safety, the Buddhists shouldn't have dispatched a Peak Strong Person.
But now, not only did the Buddhists send their Peak, but they sent the River Guardian Heavenly King, currently their most powerful Combat Power!
Zhou Xuanwo, while flying towards the Daluo Sect mountain gate, used magic to transmit his voice:
"Requesting Daluo Sect to open the mountain gate for rescue!!!"
He knew facing the River Guardian Heavenly King with Void Shuttling ability ant escape was impossible; the only chance for survival now was seeking aid from Daluo Sect.
He was fortunate to have hidden his location well during the attack, preventing the River Guardian Heavenly King from imdiately locking onto his position, hence only targeting his Lifebound artifact.
Otherwise, he would be dead now!
"Could it be, this is the true intention of the Grand Secretary?"
Zhou Xuanwo's mind was suddenly sparked with the thought.
Ye Ze'an seed to have him 'playing the mantis', lurking to fight the Buddhists' top experts.
But, in truth, it might be to draw out the Buddhists' Peak Strong Person using him?
If the Buddhists indeed sent a Peak Strong Person, Zhou Xuanwo could only seek rescue from Daluo Sect.
The decision to rescue him or not itself was already a stance.
"The Grand Secretary intends to use my life and death to force Daluo Sect to take a stance?"
Inside, Zhou Xuanwo felt both shocked and enraged.
The likes of cabinet ministers such as Hua Yanjun, Zhao Jin — if they died, so be it.
Yet, in Zhou Xuanwo's case, being a Royal Chief Sacrificial Officer ant his life and death were significant enough for Daluo Sect to make a decision!
"This ti, the Buddhists risked sending the River Guardian Heavenly King here, perhaps to showcase their sincerity, but they were instead exploited by the Grand Secretary."
On the brink of life and death, Zhou Xuanwo's thoughts beca crystal clear.
He found it mocking.
Monts ago, while above the cloud sea watching Zhao Jin in distress below, he reflected upon the fact that Zhao Jin was a pawn in this chess ga.
Little did he know that in the clash between the Da Lan Dynasty and West Pole Country, he, too, as a Royal Chief Sacrificial Officer, was a pawn!
Having been nurtured by the nation for over a hundred years, even as a Royal Chief Sacrificial Officer, if he were to die here today, Zhou Xuanwo would have no complaints.
In an instant, he arrived above the Daluo Sect mountain gate, stared fixedly below, awaiting his fate.
How will the Daluo Sect choose?
How will the world's fourth Martial Saint choose?
