Chapter 27

You're Still Stronger... [还是你大... Hái Shì Nǐ Dà...] is the twenty-seventh chapter of Tong Yao's Guardians of Night.

Summary
Gu Xiaohua fires her Star Shattering Iron Gourd at Huang Xiaoyan while Ye Yan exclaims that the latter would die from being hit by it from that close of a range. However, Huang Xiaoyan manages to deflect the gourd with her Tai Chi Cloud Hands and redirect it upwards, shocking Gu Xiaohua. Wuren praises her technique, but Ye Yan notices that her hands are trembling as a result of intercepting the magical weapon. Huang Xiaoyan then denounces Gu Xiaohua for her unforgivable crimes of dishonesty and mass murder and prepares to execute her, with Gu Xiaohua mockingly telling her to kill her if she can as she enlarges her right hand and punches Huang Xiaoyan with it. Wuren and Ye Yan notice the similarity between Gu's technique and Ximen Guanren's, though the latter quickly realizes Gu Xiaohua also increased her entire body to gigantic levels.

A gigantified Gu Xiaohua stomps down on Huang Xiaoyan, who swiftly dodges it as the foot crushes the roof of the building they were standing on. Ye Yan asks Huang Xiaoyan to help him stall Gu Xiahoua while Wuren looks for reinforcements, but Huang Xiaoyan insists to stop Gu herself and refuses to receive help. She then uses her Million Seal Formation and fires countless command tags at Gu Xiaohua, who swats them away with her arm. The giant Untitled Sage comments that spell tags do nothing but tickle her due to her current durability. Gu Xiaohua then notes that she had to convert half of her stored zombie gas in order to use the Gigantification Spell and angrily declares that she will kill the three guardians and convert them into zombie gas as compensation.

Huang Xiaoyan uses Million Seal Formation once again and bombards Gu Xiaohua, who guards herself with her arms and tells the former to stop resisting, as spell tags are useless against her. However, she then notices that the talismans sticking to her arms are stun tags. Huang Xiaoyan reveals that she is using the Million Seal Giant Binding Formation to lock Gu Xiaohua's movements. Ye Yan notes that the spell could only stop Gu for a few minutes at most, with Huang noting that it would be plenty of time as she opens her Heaven's Eye while piercing her right wrist with her fingers and drawing blood from it. She then manipulates the stream of blood to fly above herself as light begins to gather around her.
