Qin Luo, who was not far away, also had a very solemn expression on his face.
Despite the apparent evenly matched struggle between him and Xu Zhe, every exchange was like walking a tightrope, fraught with peril.
A gap of almost a whole realm is not so easy to bridge without using your trump cards, not to mention that Xu Zhe is not an ordinary late-stage Soul Separation Realm expert. His superb combat skills put Qin Luo under tremendous pressure at all times.
If it weren't for his superior physical body, far exceeding that of his peers, and the advantage of the Heaven-Locking Jade Spear, which allowed him to withstand wave after wave of Xu Zhe's attacks, he would probably have already been defeated.
However, even so, in the fierce collision with that sharp blade light, the tiger's mouth of his palm inevitably cracked open, and drops of crimson blood oozed out, but were quickly covered by the eerie light.
"Junior Brother Qin Luo has been hiding his strength very well. I thought I was taking you seriously enough, but I didn't expect to underestimate your abilities."
As he spoke, Xu Zhe gave Qin Luo a deep look, his hands quickly forming hand seals, and his spiritual energy surged and gathered around him.
"Crystal Radiance Divine Technique, Crystal Shadow Blade Appears!"
In an instant, the crystal blade in his hand floated into the air, and at the same time, phantom crystal blades appeared from all directions in the surrounding void, trapping Qin Luo within them.
These phantom crystal blades shimmered with a chilling aura, intertwining with the solid crystal blade to instantly form an impenetrable, deadly killing array.
Feeling the sharp blades slicing towards him from all sides, Qin Luo felt the pressure increase sharply. Daring not to relax for a moment, he wielded his spear, rapidly forming a curtain of spears in front of him, attempting to block the relentless onslaught of crystalline blade phantoms.
However, this Crystal Shadow Blade is extremely strange. The attack angle and trajectory of the Phantom Crystal Blade are unpredictable. It can quickly adjust according to Qin Luo's defensive movements, sometimes swooping down from above, sometimes stabbing diagonally from the side, or sometimes bursting out from below.
Despite Qin Luo's fierce resistance, many crystalline blade phantoms still managed to break through the barrage of gunfire, grazing his body and leaving streaks of blood.
puff!
As the blade struck again, a deep wound appeared on Qin Luo's right arm.
"Phew~ I didn't expect this artifact to be so effective at absorbing!"
Qin Luo cursed inwardly. The moment the crystal blade appeared, he continuously channeled his spiritual energy into the Sky-Locking Jade Spear, intending to rely on the power of the divine weapon to resist Xu Zhe's fierce attack. However, he did not expect that the spiritual energy required to activate the Sky-Locking Jade Spear far exceeded his expectations.
It took half a day for spiritual energy to flow in before it barely reached the standard for activation.
This made Qin Luo wonder if Wan Shuhua's seemingly effortless demeanor had actually activated the wooden sword, or if the wooden sword possessed a spirit and could sense Wan Shuhua's intentions, merely performing a very simple cooperation and response.
If that's the case, then the divine artifact grade of Wan Shuhua's wooden sword becomes rather intriguing.
In the instant his thoughts surged, the Heaven-Locking Jade Spear in his hand vibrated. Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Luo stood with the spear in hand and began to rapidly twirl it in front of him.
The spear tip traced cyan lines in the air. At first, these lines were slightly chaotic, but as the speed of the movement increased, they gradually connected together, and a huge cyan halo began to slowly take shape, with powerful spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from it.
"Jade Lock Universe Diagram!"
With a soft shout in his heart, a blue light pattern formed, generating a powerful suction force that began to slowly pull towards the surrounding crystalline blade illusions and Xu Zhe hidden within them.
Trapped within the gravitational pull of the light map, the phantom of the crystal blade became sluggish, and its originally agile and ever-changing attack trajectories became stagnant.
Xu Zhe, who was hiding among them, also felt a sealing force coming from all directions. He was shocked, not expecting that Qin Luo would have such a method.
Ignoring Xu Zhe's ever-changing gaze, Qin Luo continued to pour his spiritual energy into the gun, causing it to shine brightly with a blue light that was almost blinding.
Then the spear shot out like a dragon, piercing towards the center of the light diagram.
The moment the spear tip touched the light circle, countless cyan chain phantoms erupted from within the light pattern. These chains swiftly weaved between the crystal blade phantoms, instantly binding Xu Zhe's limbs and body.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Xu Zhe quickly calmed down, took a deep breath, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his spiritual energy circulated wildly within his body.
In an instant, the sky was filled with sword light, like a cascading galaxy, all slashing down at the blue chains binding him with endless sharpness.
Each blade of light contained a chilling aura, and when it collided with the chains, it erupted with dazzling light and intense fluctuations of spiritual energy.
Under this fierce and relentless attack, the seemingly thick and sturdy blue chain was cut into an increasingly translucent state, as if it might vanish into nothingness at any moment.
But this also gave Qin Luo a chance to catch his breath. While Xu Zhe was busy breaking free of the chains, he quickly changed the hand seals in his hands.
"Lingxu Imprisoning Heaven Formation, activate!"
The Spirit Void Imprisoning Heaven Array, which had been hidden in the void, began to slowly operate. Mysterious runes emerged from the void, intertwining and connecting with each other, gradually forming a huge array outline.
The moment the Spirit Void Imprisoning Heaven Array was formed, the space around Xu Zhe was immediately enveloped by a strange light, forming a unique Spirit Void area.
Xu Zhe, who was in the middle of it, had just broken free from the blue light chains when he suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented, as if he had been thrown into an endless chaotic vortex.
The spiritual energy, like materialized tentacles, coiled around him from all directions, relentlessly pulling at his limbs and bones.
"No, how could he possibly set up a level six spirit array?!"
Xu Zhe's shock was palpable; the level six spirit array had already reached the Divine Travel Realm.
He simply couldn't believe that Qin Luo, who was only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Control Realm, could set up a spirit array of this caliber.
If this absurd thing hadn't actually happened before his eyes, he would never have believed that such an outrageous situation existed. Furthermore, if he had already known that Qin Luo was capable of setting up this level six spirit array, he certainly wouldn't have given Qin Luo the slightest chance to catch his breath.
They might even unleash all their skills without reservation to quickly end the battle.
Despite being filled with shock and doubt, Xu Zhe could only force himself to stay alert and try to find a weakness in the formation.
At this critical moment, Xu Zhe no longer concealed himself, nor dared to conceal himself any longer. The spiritual energy around him began to surge rapidly. The originally invisible spiritual energy was gradually rendered into a crystal-like color. The light was brilliant and cold, enveloping his entire body in a huge spiritual crystal.
His pupils were also tinged with this strange color, and the depths of his eyes, which were originally filled with pure crystalline light, now only shimmered with a cold hue.
