Although Ling Tian and Fairy Meng Shang were now much faster than the Heaven-Devouring Hou, moving in this state also drained them more quickly. Po Di planned to let them wear themselves down further before turning back to fight, then seize an opportunity to eliminate them.
But reality didn't follow the script Po Di had imagined. Not only did Ling Tian and Fairy Meng Shang have exceptional recovery, they had no intention of closing in for hand-to-hand combat. As soon as Po Di and the others drew near, the pair launched their attack, sending one Four Consecutive Arrow Strikes after another straight at the Heaven-Devouring Hou.

This choice had many advantages. First, the Heaven-Devouring Hou was carrying Po Di and the others as they fled. If they could wound or eliminate it, dealing with Po Di's group afterward would be much easier.
Besides, the Heaven-Devouring Hou was enormous, making it easier for Ling Tian and Fairy Meng Shang to hit their target.
