Chapter 1330 Stalemate
Zhu Shaoyin was stunned. Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw another figure appear where Duan Qing disappeared.
That was the only late-stage cultivator of the Spiritual Life Realm who survived the sword energy of the Xuansu Sword Formation among the four people brought by Zhu Shaoyin.
The late-stage cultivator of the Spiritual Life Realm had a dull expression, and before he could even scream, he was drowned by the silver light beam spit out from Zhu Shaoyin's mouth, and his body instantly turned into ashes.
Zhu Shaoyin's eyes were stern, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart. He quickly shut up and looked back, and found that Duan Qing had appeared in the position where his men had just been.
At the same time, a number of black flying swords had caught up, forming the attacking sword force of the Xuansu Sword Formation, surrounding Zhu Shaoyin.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Shaoyin was secretly shocked, and his eyes were red.
This little beast... just deliberately spared his men's lives! Just to use this position-changing method!
Duan Qing's mouth curled slightly.
Zhu Shaoyin was right. Duan Qing just deliberately spared the life of one of Zhu Shaoyin's men just to be able to exchange positions with him with the Dou Zhuan Ruler.
Zhu Shaoyin was, after all, a squadron leader at the Linghua level, and one of the few squadron leaders in the Gaoque Camp who was at the late Linghua level. Even with Xiaodie's cooperation, he was not sure that he could kill this person in one fell swoop.
So, he had thought of a backup plan for himself.
Now it seems that it is very wise.
Duan Qing did not give Zhu Shaoyin any reaction time. After the Xuansu Sword Formation was formed, hundreds of sword qi were directly shot at Zhu Shaoyin.
Facing the sword qi that came from all directions without a dead angle, Zhu Shaoyin had no way to avoid it and could only choose to resist it.
Zhu Shaoyin's body lit up with a silver glow, and his body curled up into a ball, taking the hundreds of sword qi from the Xuansu Sword Formation.
After hundreds of sword qi, Zhu Shaoyin was not injured at all, only the silver glow on his body was slightly dimmed.
Taking advantage of the gap after a wave of sword energy, Zhu Shaoyin's body split into two again, and a clone rushed directly to the inner wall of the Xuansu Sword Formation.
Duan Qing saw this and reacted immediately. He decisively adjusted the Xuansu Sword Formation. Before Zhu Shaoyin's clone approached the inner wall of the Xuansu Sword Formation, he split the Xuansu Sword Formation into two, separated 27 Moxu swords from it, and formed a smaller Xuansu Sword Formation to surround Zhu Shaoyin's clone, while the remaining 81 Moxu swords still surrounded Zhu Shaoyin's body.
Duan Qing's operation was extremely fast. The process of the Xuansu Sword Formation splitting into two was like flowing water, without any delay. Zhu Shaoyin didn't catch the opportunity to escape.
Seeing that his plan failed, Zhu Shaoyin simply gave up the idea of self-destructing his clone and continued to let the clone hold the 27 flying swords. Then he secretly made up his mind and split his body into two again, and manifested another clone to attack the inner wall of the Xuansu Sword Formation.
Seeing this, Duan Qing decisively used the same trick again, splitting the eighty-one Moxu swords into two, separating twenty-seven Moxu swords to separate Zhu Shaoyin's second clone from the original body, and the remaining fifty-four Moxu swords continued to trap Zhu Shaoyin's original body.
At the same time, under Duan Qing's control, three Xuansu sword formations, one large and two small, simultaneously shot sword energy at Zhu Shaoyin and his clones in the sword formation.
Zhu Shaoyin did not dodge, relying on the silver light on his body to resist the sword energy of the Xuansu sword formation.
After a wave of sword energy, Zhu Shaoyin's original body was not damaged at all, but his two clones became much dimmer.
After enduring this wave of sword energy, Zhu Shaoyin did not hesitate to separate the third clone to attack the inner wall of the Xuansu sword formation.
Duan Qing frowned. Although he had guessed Zhu Shaoyin's intention, he still had to separate twenty-seven Moxu swords to besiege Zhu Shaoyin's third clone.
At this point, the 108 Moxu swords were divided into four, forming four small Xuansu sword formations, which trapped Zhu Shaoyin's body and his three clones respectively.
The Xuansu sword formation composed of 27 Moxu swords was enough to trap Zhu Shaoyin's clones, but it was obviously unrealistic to trap Zhu Shaoyin's body, who had reached the late stage of the spiritual transformation realm.
Zhu Shaoyin was obviously very clear about this. After resisting another wave of insignificant sword energy, he directly used his body to attack the inner wall of the Xuansu sword formation.
Based on his understanding of this little beast sword formation, the 27 flying swords would at most cause him some superficial injuries, which was completely within the acceptable range.
However, before Zhu Shaoyin's plan succeeded, 27 Moxu swords suddenly flew back from the side and merged into the Xuansu sword formation around Zhu Shaoyin. In a flash, the sword formation was adjusted from 27 to 54.
Zhu Shaoyin stopped abruptly less than five inches away from the inner wall of the sword formation, his face turning green and red.
At this time, he found that his first clone had been destroyed, leaving 27 flying swords empty!
Zhu Shaoyin did not give up, and decisively created another clone, wanting to reduce the number of flying swords that trapped him and escape at the lowest cost.
Duan Qing was obviously very clear about Zhu Shaoyin's thoughts, and he was always able to kill the clone in time and use the empty Mo Xu sword to focus on dealing with Zhu Shaoyin's body.
For a while, the battle between Duan Qing and Zhu Shaoyin fell into a stalemate.
Zhu Shaoyin was unwilling to risk being seriously injured and forcefully broke the formation. Because Zhu Shaoyin kept creating clones, Duan Qing's Mo Xu sword was always in a state of shortage, and he could do nothing about Zhu Shaoyin.
Just as Duan Qing and Zhu Shaoyin were in a stalemate, the battle between Akagi and several of Zhu Shaoyin's men not far away also entered a white-hot stage.
Although Chimu, like Zhu Shaoyin, was in the late stage of the spiritual transformation realm, he had too many people on the other side. He was one against seven, and there was another person controlling the starship to emit a dim yellow light to restrict his movements. Therefore, Chimu had an extremely difficult battle and was almost suppressed by the seven men under Zhu Shaoyin.
Fortunately, his body was a celestial silkworm, with extremely strong vitality and defense, so his life was safe for a short time.
And Hu Youwei and others who had escaped before were also caught up by Zhu Shaoyin's men one after another and fell into a bitter battle.
But compared with the situation of Duan Qing and Chimu, the situation of Hu Youwei and others was much worse. Among the few people who were alive, several of them were injured in the previous torrent of magic, and some even had their star armor damaged.
After being caught up by Zhu Shaoyin's eight men, those with damaged star armor were killed immediately, leaving only Hu Youwei, Qin Long and four others to support.
However, facing an enemy that is twice as many as the current one, Hu Youwei and his four companions obviously cannot hold out for long. It is only a matter of time before they are defeated and killed.
The four of them are very clear about this, but they have no choice but to persist in despair.
On the other side, Akagi, who was the first to fall into a bitter battle, was also in a very heavy mood.
Even though his situation is much better than that of Hu Youwei and his four companions, if he continues like this, his end may be worrying.
He is not worried about the main battlefield. From his observation, it is difficult for Zhu Shaoyin and Duan Niu to determine the winner for a while, and Zhu Shaoyin may even lose.
He is worried about Hu Youwei and his four companions!
The current situation of Hu Youwei and his four companions is not optimistic. Once the four are killed, the eight men under Zhu Shaoyin will be vacant. At that time, not only Duan Niu will be in a worrying situation, but his situation will also be more difficult!
