However, at that very moment, Zhang Yiran and the others had also suffered heavy losses from dragging out the battle. Take Zhao Yunruo, for example—her health bar had already fallen to just one-fifth. Even Ye Xianyuan, who was stationed far in the rear, had been grazed several times by flying swords, leaving her with only half her health bar. This was also because she had used the Shattering Void Technique too many times, giving the enemy opportunities to snipe her.
As for Zhang Yiran, because the Grand Array he had chosen was the type that covered a vast range and occupied a vast space, it was difficult for the enemy to locate him. This was practically passive avoidance of battle, making it much harder for the enemy to snipe him.
The small formations had taken shape quickly enough this time, but they could only indirectly protect the people on several sides. The Grand Array took an extremely long time to activate, which was also why Zhao Yunruo and Ye Xianyuan had been injured on the front lines.
However, once the Grand Array was complete, the situation quickly changed. Aside from relying on the Grand Array to avoid battle, their tactics also shifted from actively using Zhao Yunruo to attack and intercept to launching harassment attacks. Wrapped in the Grand Array's layers of clouds and mist, the three sword immortals from the Celestial Being Sect were trapped inside, flying about like headless flies. They also had to guard against the spatial rifts appearing throughout the Grand Array. The moment they touched one, they would immediately suffer a series of rending wounds.
The spatial rifts made the three sword immortals suffer miserably. On top of that, Zhao Yunruo knew where the rifts were, so whenever she fought, she specifically lured them into
