Originally, they had lured the two Lihe Realm Ancient Demons here in order to catch turtles in a jar. Who would have thought that cleverness would overreach itself? The second layer of the Nine Palaces Moment Sword Formation was indeed astonishingly powerful, but to control it with fine precision was not something Nascent Soul Cultivators could accomplish.
Damn it!
Xu Jingqing's face was full of regret, but by the time she realized it, it was already too late. Although the restrictions also had an auxiliary effect, they were far from enough to trap the two demons. The situation they now faced could be said to be dangerous to the extreme, like a lone skiff amid the waves of the sea, liable to capsize at any moment.
They clearly knew they could not win, yet they could not choose to retreat, because this was already the heart of Yingzhou Island, the place where the formation eye of the Nine Palaces Moment Sword Formation was located. If this place were destroyed, the entire Horizon Sea Pavilion would basically be left undefended.
There was no need to think to know what the consequences would be.
If such a situation truly occurred, then even a hundred deaths would not atone for the sins of the few of them. So even though they clearly knew they might fall here, they still had to bitterly hold on.
"Ah!"
Another miserable scream entered their ears. Not far away, Junior Sister Ma's shoulder was gushing blood like a spring. One of her arms had been hacked off alive. Although no one had fallen so far, everyone was already wounded.
No, if this goes on, we'll only be broken one by one. If we want to reverse this decline, it's impossible with just us. We must have outside help.
