Chapter 915 - 67: New Tides, Old Waves
The sky was filled with reed leaves like white snow, and a flying sword turned into golden thunder.
The right arm of Great True Master Chong Kan exploded, and blood mist scattered all around. The golden flying sword retreated swiftly, drawn towards the end of the vast reed marsh.
There, at an unknown time, appeared a figure in black.
Xie Xuanyi extended his hand to catch the lifebound flying sword returning like a swallow to its nest... He gently caressed the sword, and around the sword handle was entwined an imperceptible golden line, stretching over a hundred zhang, connecting into the sleeve of a scholar in a green robe.
This was the reason Chen Jingxuan previously retracted his sleeve and tapped his fingers.
The Heavenly Destiny Gold Line shrouded the entire mudflat, spanning a full ten miles, and the main purpose of laying these golden lines was, of course, to ensnare Chong Kan and at the critical moment form a "Golden Thread Cage."
But... these golden lines had a second purpose.
"I apologize."
Looking towards the blood mist exploding in the sky, Chen Jingxuan softly said, "The ones confronting us in this battle aren’t just two."
The greatest ability of the Book Tower isn’t one-on-one combat, but divination and strategic planning.
The Trigram cannot be calculated for oneself.
Since taking charge of the Roundness Instrument, Chen Jingxuan had never used this national treasure to predict his own fate... Yet the undercurrents in the Imperial City were so tumultuous before the great tide crashed down; even before that, signs of rolling fog and raging waves were apparent. Not to mention someone like Chen Jingxuan, any astute person would prepare in advance.
