Zhang Chi gained the upper hand with his continuous use of Broken Sword Intent, putting Hong Li under immense pressure.
Zhang Chi's divine abilities were few, but with his mastery of Sword Intent, his ordinary attacks were akin to divine abilities.
Hong Li knew many divine abilities, but she could only use one at a time.
One had a plethora of divine abilities that could be used in combination, effective in both group fights and one-on-one duels. The other relied solely on swordsmanship, but the lethality of their unique move was equally impressive.
Hong Li soon found that no matter which divine ability she used, it was ineffective against Zhang Chi.
Whatever divine ability she used, Zhang Chi responded with only one move, Broken Sword Intent.
This reminded Hong Li of the first night she was captured by Zhang Chi, when he used the same approach, unchanged, to respond to all changes.
However, Hong Li later learned that Zhang Chi at that time was a stand-in.
