Chapter 179 - Leave it to Me

"Ah!" Cries could be heard.

The crowd went ballistic as they watched the human trio, who once had the upper hand, get pressed down by the three barbarians with such a... barbaric method. It was such an idiotic method, but there was nothing they could do.

"This can't continue! What should we do?" Inside the Seventh Truth Platform's area, Yu Kuang racked his brain to think of an idea.

He turned and saw Xie Lianzhen out of the corner of his eyes, sitting there and looking at the rooftop like it was none of his business.

Over the past two days, Yu Kuang had accumulated a lot of emotions, and seeing Xie Lianzhen acting like it had nothing to do with him made Yu Kuang feel displeased. He raised his voice and called out to Xie Lianzhen, "Senior Brother Xie, you look very calm, huh? Do you have any good ideas, perhaps?"

Xie Lianzhen looked back at him. "It's just a small skill. As long as they exhibit their normal standards, they'll be fine," he answered calmly.

"Oh? Is that so? This Junior Brother is very stupid, I'll need Senior Brother Xie to enlighten me."

Yu Kuang's voice wasn't soft, and the disciples near him were all looking over now.

Xie Lianzhen indeed had a questionable position in the Seventh Truth Platform. On one hand, he deserved the position because he was in the direct line of descent after the fifth clan master, the previous Alioth Star Lord's true disciple. Him taking over the position was something that made perfect sense. On the other hand, he had some physical defects and rarely made an appearance, so a lot of people felt like his authority didn't carry much weight.

They obviously knew that Yu Kuang was provoking him, and they were curious to see how Xie Lianzhen would respond.

"Combining three into one sounds powerful, but if you look at it from another point of view, the fight is now a three-on-one instead of a three-on-three. Two heads are better than one, so it won't be difficult for three people to team up and defeat an opponent who's stronger."

Yu Kuang furrowed his eyebrows. "Senior Brother Xie, didn't you see what they did? Three into one, one into three – if they try to fight it as a three-on-one, the other two harpies will just spread out and make it a three-on-three again."

"Even easier then. Weren't they just beating them in a three-on-three?"

Yu Kuang was taken aback by his answer. "It's a transformation! The point is that they can transform at any time now!"

Xie Lianzhen smiled thinly. "How is it easy to transform from three into one? Especially when they depend on the resonance of their blood vessels. It isn't enough to just have a good grasp over the technique because they each have their own tempos. If even one goes down, that's the same as losing an arm."

If the disciple thought Xie Lianzhen was just playing with words earlier, this reply could seen as opening their eyes to many different possibilities. The Seventh Truth Platform disciples were now pondering over the possibilities.

"Easy to say," Yu Kuang retorted, not wanting to lose, "but do you think that Senior Brother Wei wouldn't be aware of that? If you want to break the opponent's tempo, you have to restrain them with pure ability. If they could do such a thing, they wouldn't be having a problem in the first place."

The disciples who were listening to the conversation secretly agreed. Breaking your opponent's tempo wasn't some unknown method, but it was easier said than done.

Xie Lianzhen shook his head. "That brings us back to the fact that this is a group fight. If it was a one-on-one, it's obviously hard to forcefully break their tempo. However, in a group fight, you don't need to forcefully restrain them, you just need to break their coordination."
