Although most of Tong Xuan and the others had already broken through to the Near-God level, they had no Order Divine Artifacts. They had refined quite a few fragments of Order Divine Artifacts, but at most their strength was barely at the Heavenly Lord level, still far behind Ling Tian and the others. Given the situation, releasing them would be no different from sending them to their deaths. That left only Ling Tian and his companions able to fight.
There were only six of them. If they used energy shields to defend, no one would be able to attack, and they would only end up trapped. They had no choice but to attack, using offense as their defense.
But Chi Xue and the others greatly outnumbered them. Some attacked while others used the Earth Kun Shield for protection, so even if Meng Xiong and the others attacked indiscriminately, they would be fine. Ling Tian and his companions, however, would be under greater pressure.
Thinking of this, their expressions grew a little more solemn.
Soon, the problem they had feared arose. Little Swallow couldn't stop all the energy spears. The nine-colored barrier and Ling Tian's control of the Pseudo Small World helped block them, but the spears could suddenly change direction, causing Tan Tai Chang Feng and the others plenty of trouble.
They weren't in mortal danger yet, but Tan Tai Chang Feng and Fairy Lei Ying had already suffered some flesh wounds. Blood spread across them, leaving them looking rather battered and miserable.
Seeing this, Ling Tian promptly ordered, "Put away your bows and bring out your melee weapons. Give it everything you've got and prepare to break through. Charge without hesitation. I'll create an opening for you. Fairy Lei Ying, Meng Shang, prepare to use the beast-transformation secret technique.
