The Regressor of Mount Hua

"Soul Lock!"

The Phantom Sovereign gave the command.

Rattle!!

Ten of the sixty or so Phantoms threw something—not their usual daggers, but chains forged by Gan Yezi.

Though they were originally made as a test to deal with cold iron, that didn't mean that it was a flawed prototype.

The chains flew straight at first, then curved in midair.

Ten chains twisted and weaved like serpents before wrapping tightly around Destructive Soldier, binding his limbs and torso.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xuchuan rotated his wrist and raised his sword diagonally, still pressed against the spear.

Before the spear could slip away, he redirected the sword upward, then brought it down with full force.

There's a crack in the armor.

While his attack had partly been a shot in the dark, he had succeeded.
