Chapter 550 - 353: Joining Hands

Where the Ten Thousand Laws Incarnation stood, four black-robed figures advanced and retreated in unison. Their coordination was seamless as they attacked simultaneously from four directions.

BOOM!!

A clash of blows sent ripples of Primordial Qi spreading outward. The powerful shockwave caused immense damage to the surrounding buildings and ground, leaving the scene in a state of utter ruin.

The Ten Thousand Laws Incarnation blazed with the light of a great sun. The double hammers of its manifested Guardian Illusion swept out in wide, powerful arcs. However, the four opponents left no openings in their simultaneous attacks, and a flaw inevitably appeared in its defense.

The form of a Twisted Talisman struck out by one figure hit the Ten Thousand Laws Incarnation’s arm, while another figure’s attack slammed into its thigh.

Traces of blood seeped from its skin. The enemy’s attacks were extremely powerful, yet even though this incarnation was only at the middle tier of the Sensing realm, its physique was still incredibly tough. It was like being covered in armor, difficult to break through in a single blow.

In less than twenty breaths, more than a dozen new wounds appeared on its body. Although it had deliberately avoided taking hits to its vital spots, and the injuries were not severe given its physical strength, the situation would only worsen if this dragged on.

A short while ago, it had tried to break their formation by focusing all its power on one of them to shatter their combined attack Barrier, but that had also failed.

The enemy’s combined attack Barrier was highly unusual.

’Their Primordial Qi is one, their Attack and Defense are one, their Divine Sense is one. Most importantly, they can transfer damage. Any injury inflicted on one person is shared among all four. With this body’s strength, it’s unrealistic to try and break the Barrier by focusing on a single point. In less than half a quarter-hour, this body’s Primordial Qi and Vitality will be exhausted.’

’It seems the only option is to abandon this body and use that technique. Mastering a Combined Attack Technique of this level is extremely difficult; these people must hold a high rank within the Yin Tower Organization. Trading one body for four of them... it’s not a bad deal.’

The Ten Thousand Laws Incarnation’s eyes flickered, a hundred thoughts racing through its mind as it continued to battle the enemy.

Once an incarnation is formed, it is theoretically an independent individual with the ability to think for itself. At the same time, if the main body does not retract the incarnation’s consciousness, the many incarnations and the main body cannot share current experiences or communicate in real time. This is also why having too many incarnations for too long can lead to certain mutations, creating hidden dangers for the Primordial Spirit.

However, this drawback had not yet manifested. Each incarnation still faithfully carried out the orders given by the main body: to protect the safety of South Mansion by any means necessary. To achieve this goal, as long as their actions were effective, death was nothing to fear.

However, just as the Ten Thousand Laws Incarnation was about to unleash a Forbidden Secret Technique and sacrifice its body to kill the four opponents, its expression suddenly shifted. Its gaze pierced through the twisted, scarlet light of the Barrier, and it saw two figures rapidly approaching in the distance.

’Is that them?’

The Ten Thousand Laws Incarnation’s eyes narrowed. It instantly recognized the two figures and, in the same moment, understood the reason for their actions.

’Their goal seems to be to hunt Yin Tower Believers to obtain Blood Food Power. If that’s the case, then the stronger the Believer and the higher their status within the Yin Tower, the greater the Blood Food Power they must possess.’

’Although their method of seizing Blood Food Power is alarming, and their true identities are a cause for concern...’

’However, based on past events, they aren’t the type to kill indiscriminately. Regardless of their identities, with the escalating chaos in the city, we are not enemies. There’s a basis for cooperation.’

’It’s impossible for me to break the Barrier of these four alone. But with their help, things might be different.’

’The specific strength of those two is unknown, but their attack power is at least at the Sensing realm.’

"They are using a Combined Attack Technique! Their Primordial Qi, Attack and Defense, and Divine Sense are all one! The technique also distributes all damage taken. If you can help me break this formation, you can take the Blood Food Power from anyone we kill!"

The Ten Thousand Laws Incarnation boomed, its voice like a great bell, rapidly carrying to the two approaching figures.

’There are other Martial Artists nearby? They dare interfere in this battle?’

’Based on Primordial Qi Sensing, their movements aren’t disturbing the surrounding Natural Primordial Qi. They’re most likely Martial Artists at the Refining the Internal Organs realm, though we can’t rule out the possibility that they’re hiding their true strength.’

’Refining the Internal Organs realm? A nuisance, regardless. We’ll deal with them first. Wei Lie’s incarnation absolutely cannot be allowed to escape.’

’Understood.’

The four surrounding black-robed assailants also noticed the two approaching figures. They did not speak, but linked by their Combined Attack Technique, the four communicated mind-to-mind, instantly exchanging thoughts and reaching a decision.

The Ten Thousand Laws Incarnation was trapped within the Barrier, its defeat only a matter of time. They couldn’t afford any mistakes at this juncture. Fortunately, the auras of the two newcomers weren’t particularly strong. The four of them, working together, were fairly confident they could eliminate this threat in a single exchange.

"A Combined Attack Technique? Damage sharing? That ability is rather similar to what the Evil Cult Statue in the Ghost City could do," Zhao Xuanqi remarked, his expression shifting.

"Those four are not weak. Judging by their Vitality signatures, they are at least at the upper tier of the Sensing realm. Even if their strength was forcefully enhanced by Blood Food Power, with the abilities of their Combined Attack Technique, breaking through the damage-sharing effect in one go would probably require an explosive burst of power at the peak of the Sensing realm, or even the Innate Level. That’s not very realistic."
