A Pawn's Passage

In a certain sense, Great Sage Jiang unleashed killing intent three times.

With the first surge of killing intent, Chen Shuhua was almost reduced to ashes. She only managed to resolve it in the end by relying on the Taisu Mystical Arts.

With the second surge of killing intent, Chen Shuhua was likewise on the brink of death and had no choice but to allow Wu Luo to descend into the mortal world.

The third surge of killing intent had a weaker momentum due to exhaustion, so it was neutralized by Wu Luo using the river of blood.

Great Sage Jiang could hardly be called weak because he singlehandedly unleashed three killing strikes. Unfortunately, Wu Luo was no ordinary opponent either.

Chen Shuhua was a newly ascended Immortal, but Wu Luo was not. She was an Ancient Immortal. In comparison, Great Sage Jiang was little more than a child before Wu Luo.

It was only because Wu Luo was constrained by the heavenly tribulation that she could not easily descend into the mortal world, nor could she fully unleash her strength. Even a divine descent vessel formed by dragon qi could not compare to a true Immortal like Chen Shuhua.

Moreover, Great Sage Jiang had already injured his vital essence by using Moral Sovereign twice.

The fact that Great Sage Jiang could still hold a slight advantage was due to the immortal object.

However, Great Sage Jiang was not fighting alone.

Countless Daoist priests and Spirit Guards gradually revealed themselves, filling the skies and forming a surrounding ring as they looked down from above, like the legendary heavenly soldiers.

At this moment, the grand formation was no longer focused on trapping its target, so the starry sky gradually dissipated.
