By using the Human-Faced Flood Dragon Banner's Fire-Eating Divine Technique to shatter the Purple Smoke Ball, Lü Zhong finally broke free. He flickered into an empty space, four small swords orbiting him.

This exchange had given Lü Zhong his first real taste of combat between Nascent Soul cultivators.
Compared to the straightforward battles of the Core Formation Stage—which relied on simple Magical Treasures, Magic Skills, and Secret Skills—the methods available to Nascent Soul Cultivators were far more diverse. He reckoned that once Divine Power Techniques were involved, combat would become even more bizarre and unpredictable, with an array of tactics that were impossible to defend against. He'd fallen for a trap this time, for instance.
If not for his Flood Dragon Spirit Banner and Human-Faced Flood Dragon Banner, he feared he truly would have fallen at Huoyaozi's hands.
