Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 1156: Battle of the Slaughter Path (2) ⚔️

The Night Emperor silently calculated and said, “Barely, we can still manage six more times.”

“Good!” Master Law Sovereign said, “Those who are injured should hurry to recover. Use the medicine quickly. For now, other families will take the lead. After a round, we will let your Ye Family take action!”

The Night Emperor nodded solemnly.

Next, in the sky, the starry lightning continuously appeared, and Zixie Qing dealt with them one by one; there was no other option.

Because this grand formation actually blocked human presence and heaven's secret, nothing could be detected; they could only fight passively!

However, Zixie Qing changed her form. From roaming at the beginning, she silently stood high up, allowing the lightning to strike down. Then she retaliated with a palm!

As the lightning became more frequent, Zixie Qing finally showed signs of fatigue, appearing to be seriously injured. As she continued to receive the lightning strikes, her body staggered back more and more, shaking quite violently…

It seemed that her strength was insufficient…

The Night Emperor and Master Law Sovereign felt secretly pleased. No matter how powerful she was, how long could she hold on? Continuous consumption would eventually wear her down!

But what they didn't know was that Zixie Qing was also feeling quite satisfied.

The intensity of such attacks was not small; each time she took them head-on, it indeed consumed a lot. But Zixie Qing's cultivation level was boundless. The current fatigue was merely put on after enduring over thirty lightning strikes.

If truly based on her cultivation level, she could withstand such heavy hits more than a hundred times, Zixie Qing felt very confident.

Of course, if counting the six ninefold pills given to her by Chu Yang, Zixie Qing could at least sustain for one thousand five hundred times or more…

However, the nine great clans and the enforcers could never afford to issue one thousand five hundred attacks… a hundred times was already close to their limit…

Each counterattack resulted in at least two or three deaths… such losses were unbearable for the nine great clans! But as it stood, as long as the grand formation was not withdrawn, no one could escape from it!

As of now, the starry lightning had attacked thirty-four times, and originally, there should have been seven hundred seventy-one supreme masters from the nine great clans and the enforcers, but one hundred ninety of them had been wiped out in the previous battle. With Zixie Qing’s arrival, another thirty-two were lost!

This left a total of five hundred forty-nine people participating in the attack against Zixie Qing!

However, after these thirty-three starry lightning attacks, while it seemed the enemy was becoming more and more disheveled, their side had also lost one hundred seventeen.

Currently, there were four hundred thirty-two survivors… (Did I calculate this right?)

Both sides were secretly pleased, but who was truly delighted remained unknown.

But among them, the one most pleased might be Master Law Sovereign.

No matter which family or faction launched an attack, Master Law Sovereign would surely go over to show concern, asking about the losses and how many had died. While questioning, he quietly absorbed the life essence of the deceased supreme masters.

This also earned him the gratitude of the nine great clans.

After several dozen consecutive attacks, Zixie Qing was still on the verge of collapse, while the number of experts from the nine great clans and the enforcers had sharply decreased to three hundred sixty…

The three of Bu Liqing, who were originally anxious, finally felt relieved.

Even the Night Emperor and others realized something was off: What the hell! Who is consuming whom here? Why does this situation seem somewhat wrong?

“Master Law Sovereign! It seems something is off.” The Night Emperor frowned, “The grand formation is supposed to concentrate our cultivation level, which is equivalent to increasing it by more than three times, and then using the power of the nebula, it should have multiplied further, right? By this logic, with ten Ning Tianya and Bu Liqing working together, they should be able to take her down in one hit! Yet… this woman has been swaying like this for half an hour, and still continues to sway…”
