Trapped in the Nine Palaces Maze Diagram, Jiang Chen's current mastery of the formation made it nearly impossible for even someone at the Level Three of the Empyrean Realm to escape.
As for Xiahou Xi? He was merely a quasi-empyrean prodigy. In terms of cultivation, he was barely a step stronger than the likes of Yan Qingsang and Yan Jinnan, who were at the peak of the emperor realm.
Against an opponent of this level, Jiang Chen had no reason to fear. After all, on his journey, he'd crossed paths with—and even defeated—numerous celestial level cultivators.
Within the human domain, he had vanquished celestial-level cultivators time and again.
Thus, while Xiahou Xi might be regarded as a genius, he was nothing before Jiang Chen.
As the space within the Nine Palaces Maze Diagram contracted tighter and tighter, Xiahou Xi's fate was sealed. Evading the first arrow and the second might have been impressive, but he couldn't escape the successive volley of arrows that followed.
