Ji Lingxi asked in surprise, “Why do I feel that this is already the best tactic they could come up with against you? You basically didn’t counter anything the whole day - isn’t this already putting you in a position of defeat?”

“Putting me in a position of defeat doesn’t mean that I am defeated! It’s totally impossible to wear me out to death by purely using this trick.”

Yun Yang smiled faintly and said, “Think carefully. I’m bound to the spot to make sure I don’t sabotage myself. While I’m not winning, neither am I losing. Yet, the enemies have to pick their method to advance and retreat in the right direction at all times in addition to exerting their full strength in each attack. The physical toll on them is several times more than mine. My current cultivation base is higher than most of them as well; how would I be overtaxed by them? If this strategy is really effective, do you think we would have this space to breathe now?”

Ji Lingxi pressed her lips together into a wide grin.

“Then why didn’t you take the initiative to attack? They have been attacking frequently, but there were multiple gaps throughout this whole day. Although they flashed by, they were not figments of my imagination. If you took the chance to attack, it’s not even a challenge to kill one or two of them!”

“Because if we do that… we’d be taking their bait instead.” Yun Yang explained with a smile, “I can almost be sure that the ultimate aim of their battle today is to wear down our patience and goad us into launching the attack. Only then can they separate us and destroy us individually.”

“They obviously regard you highly, powerless against you even, thus, they are passively executing this inefficient tactic. If they were to succeed, however, we would be separated. Then, they won’t have to fear you anymore. They only have to constrain you with a minimal number of men and concentrate their attention to finish me off in the least time possible by way of sacrifice.”

“As long as they wipe me out, they don’t even have to be bothered with you. They can very well leave immediately. Your presence doesn’t concern the big picture. It won’t be able to shake a mammoth existence like the Four Seasons Tower.”

“Do you understand now? This is the core purpose they’re using this draining attack.”

Yun Yang spoke with Ji Lingxi while he deflected the incessant attacks. While he did not speak fully with ease, he was still able to handle the situation without looking too worn out.

He had elaborated the situation openly, without lowering his volume and without using his psychic voice delivery. He explained it with no attempt of concealment and dished it out plainly.

Therefore, not only did Ji Lingxi heard him clearly, the Four Seasons Tower’s experts who were in hiding did as well.

This was indeed Four Seasons Tower’s aim - and it had been ruthlessly stated by Yun Yang in plain language.

As Yun Yang’s speech drew its curtain, the Four Seasons Tower’s attacking tempo suddenly turned chaotic. For a quarter of an hour that followed, the ceaseless attacks disappeared.

“I’m guessing what you said just now wasn’t actually for my benefit,” Ji Lingxi grinned.

Yun Yang laughed and answered, “Why wasn’t it? I was answering your question!”

Ji Lingxi beamed. “Of course we have to explain it to them. Otherwise, they’d think that they totally scored this round.”

“This is definitely not all that Mr. Nian has. He certainly has more tricks up his sleeves. It’s simply impossible that he’ll let me off so easily. We must be more alert after this,” said Yun Yang, to which Ji Lingxi nodded.

Yun Yang’s little speech earlier had apparently revealed the Four Seasons Tower’s grand plan as the following half an hour was laid bare without any subsequent moves. In spite of this, the attacking rhythm afterward exploded with an unprecedented intensity.

It resumed the previous mode of attack! It did not change but only became more fervent.

Countless pieces of heavy arms rained down upon Yun Yang like a massive downpour of rain.

Ji Lingxi was quite irked. Why did they not change their initial strategy since it was being pointed out so frankly? Instead, they were carrying it out with even more vigor! This did not make any sense.

The Four Season Tower’s experts continued to increase the pressure by increasing the frequency of their attacks, unrelenting and tightly paced. Until later, someone had muttered something unintentionally and the onslaught had become countless hill-sized rocks being tossed over.

The range of attack now exceeded what was being covered previously. Naturally, no one could care to avoid Ji Lingxi as they hauled the rocks over without a care for the consequences. It then came as a delightful surprise when the tower’s men realized that while the rocks would be smashed into dust when they hit Ji Lingxi, they could not reveal their trail to the attackers as the repercussion was too overwhelming and the rocks could only take so much before they disintegrated.

The Four Seasons Tower’s men were thrilled by the outcome, assuming that they had found the correct solution to restrain Ji Lingxi. Consequently, each rock that was hauled up was as large as a small hill.

When the huge rocks were infused with a significant amount of mystical Qi by superb experts like the Four Seasons Tower’s men and being pitched so forcefully when it was not only one person but at least twenty of them who were fighting like this, the rippling effect of the siege was earth-shattering!

The attackers insisted on not showing themselves, however, maintaining their initial reserved tactic. No matter if they scored with the one strike, they withdrew immediately without giving room for Yun Yang to counterstrike.

“Maintain this mode of fixed warfare and exhaust Supreme Cloud to death!”

“So what if he sees through the leader’s plan? Revealing it doesn’t mean he’s able to handle it! So many of us are bombarding Supreme Cloud together - will he not die?”

Indeed, such an uncivilized approach did eventually tire Yun Yang out as he slowly but surely lost his grace tackling the blitz.

Truth to be told, this was currently the most effective and efficient way against Yun Yang. Retreating right after an ambush would render him helpless no matter how amazing his skills were. After all, Yun Yang could only execute one person by chance following a few exchanges even if they were to combat man to man; what was more, such an instantaneous gap between attacks!

Such was the ambush that was coming from each direction. Once Yun Yang was to pursue his target, he would break the corresponding state he was in with Ji Lingxi even when he did kill his prey and that would be what the Four Seasons Tower wished for the most.

Boom, boom, boom…

The attacks were unending. Ranged and melee, high and low, the onset came from everywhere without skipping a beat.

A situation that was not supposed to happen in a duel of pinnacle experts was put on play continually here in a bizarre way.

Seeing that the attacks were unfaltering, Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi switched up their countermeasures as well. They defended in a rotation, holding out for a quarter of an hour before switching places to catch a break. As the day progressed, the two of them were soiled and grubby despite not being hurt, in addition to being seriously depleted of mystical Qi.

In spite of this, the offending team showed no sign of stopping, as if they planned to execute this singular tactic until the end of the day.

The couple began to look concerned. Were they really constrained by such a simple strategy that the previous advantage was no longer existent?
