As the pressure mounted, Ling Tian and the others had no choice but to use their sect-protecting treasures. That let them hold on, barely. But Fairy Huan Cai and the others were in a much worse state. They had already been struggling to keep up, and using their treasures took a heavy toll. Now they could barely move, and their chances for rescue were vanishing fast.
At last, Fairy Huan Cai became the first to use up all ten rescue chances and be eliminated. She hid behind an old veteran quasi-Saint expert from Huan Xin Pavilion, her face dark as water, and gazed at Ling Tian and the others with undisguised resentment.
After Fairy Huan Cai, Gu Ao, Fei Peng, Ci Xin, and the others were eliminated one after another after using up their ten revival chances. They were certainly dejected, but none of them showed any resentment. They were simply envious of Ling Tian and the others, and all the more eager to obtain the Nine Reversals Heavenly Technique. They knew that if they could not cultivate this technique, the gap between them and Ling Tian's group would only grow wider.
Fairy Swordji had not yet been eliminated. It wasn't that her movement technique was much more refined than Fei Peng's, but that after reversing her Golden Core twice, the Divine Yuan Power within her had grown more abundant and pure, while her control over her mind had also improved. That let her keep activating her sect-protecting treasure, allowing her to barely hold on.
Of course, Fairy Swordji could now only defend, not attack. She had already used up three rescue chances, and it was only a matter of time before she was eliminated.
"Um, Swordji, it looks like you won't be able to hold on until the end.
