"What?" King Paleos, Fiendqueen Dustrain, and the others were all shocked. Things were turning out completely contrary to what they had expected. Not even Winesage had put them in such dire straits! Although Winesage was able to crush any supreme Daolord in a head-on fight, when the twelve of them worked together they were able to dominate him. Faced with their combined attacks, even Winesage was in rather bad shape.
But Daolord Darknorth was actually beating them silly? Was Darknorth even more powerful than Winesage?
What they didn't realize was that Ji Ning was indeed better than Winesage in dealing with group attacks! Ning's sword-arts were more perfect and flawless, allowing him a truly airtight defense against mass attacks! His Shadowless sword-arts allowed him to vanish without a trace, making it so that his enemies couldn't focus their fire against him while he was able to launch counter-attacks as he pleased.
