In the tumult of battle, courage tempered with sagacity, nimbleness of mind, and the judicious application of stratagem are paramount. In the realm of martial contest, mere brawling as alley ruffians is inadequate; for the slightest misstep may spell the forfeiture of one's very existence. Indeed, in the art of war, deceit is not abhorrent; rather, it is esteemed. He who can wield subtlety should eschew straightforwardness, and never allow compassion to soften resolve, for it is a matter of life and death, wherein the stakes are absolute.

Upon discovering the efficacy of the Celestial Spike in countering the spirit entity, I sheathed the Victory Malevolent Blade and instead brandished the Celestial Spike, alongside unveiling the Five Elements Command Pennants.

If the spirit entity boasted swiftness, then I ensnared her within a formation, rendering her escape untenable. As the spirit entity charged towards me once more, I wielded the Celestial Spike in a forceful arc against her.

With each repulse inflicted upon the spirit entity by my Celestial Spike, her velocity diminished incrementally, her form appearing increasingly nebulous. Meanwhile, the runic inscriptions upon my Celestial Spike flickered erratically, its potency magnified manifold.

Even as I engaged in combat with the spirit entity, I surreptitiously scattered several of the Five Elements Command Pennants upon the ground. For there was no need to restrain the spirit entity for an extended duration, thus expediting the deployment of the formation as I focused on my adversary.

Casting a sidelong glance towards my companion, who likewise grappled with another spirit entity, I observed his valiance. Though endowed with prodigious strength, his swiftness paled in comparison to that of the spirit entity. Yet fortified by the Protective Qi imparted by the Elder Celestial Sage, he emanated a golden aura, and unleashed his formidable prowess, appearing to expand in stature. Despite being flung aside by the spirit entity on multiple occasions, he emerged unscathed each time.

Had it not been for the Protective Qi, he would assuredly have been rent asunder by the spirit entity.

Resolving to vanquish my immediate adversary first, I vowed to aid my companion thereafter. The menacing presence of the Village Magnate, hampered by a grievous injury, rendered him inconsequential. With a limb shattered and mobility severely curtailed, his reliance on the two spirit entities to turn the tide was futile.

The spirit entity assailed me repeatedly, prompting me to scatter several more of the Five Elements Command Pennants upon the ground.

When the spirit entity charged towards me once more, I wielded the Celestial Spike against her, concurrently releasing ten Peachwood Spikes in diverse directions, all converging upon her person.

Forced into a retreat with no avenue of escape, the spirit entity could only recoil into the formation I had established. The instant she breached the formation, I manipulated my hand seals, erecting a barrier of Protective Qi that constrained her within a radius of less than five meters. Infuriated, the spirit entity made to assail me once more, only to be repelled by the formation.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA0OHg5Vzk1Y
Creating an opening, I stepped into the heart of the formation, inviting the spirit entity's renewed onslaught.

In her fury, the spirit entity failed to anticipate my next gambit—the invocation of the Phantom Couple technique.
