While Chi Xue, Fairy Sword, and the others were discussing things below the arena, the battle above continued. Ling Tian was still locked in close combat with the Jade Devouring Sky Python, weaving various secret techniques into every strike. He continued to hold the advantage, and the injuries on the Jade Devouring Sky Python grew increasingly severe.
As Fairy Sword and the others had said, this fighting style consumed a great deal of energy. But with Ling Tian's powerful Nascent Soul and the vast Divine Yuan Power within him, he could keep it up for quite a while without any problem. That would be more than enough time to inflict serious injuries on the Jade Devouring Sky Python and weaken its strength.
After fighting at close quarters for so long, Ling Tian had also worked a great deal of the Corpse Incense Demon Lotus's pure fragrance into the Jade Devouring Sky Python's wounds. This had slowed its movements, and its Nascent Soul was increasingly affected. As a result, it was faring worse and worse in close combat.
"Hey, Ling Tian, it looks like the Corpse Incense Demon Lotus's fragrance is starting to take effect. The Jade Devouring Sky Python is already badly injured, and its movements have slowed under the fragrance's influence. Most importantly, its reactions are half a beat slower than before." Po Qiong's voice rang in Ling Tian's mind, tinged with excitement. "At this point, even without using your arrow techniques, you have a good chance of crippling it in close combat. You won't come anywhere near exhausting yourself."
Ling Tian's close-combat attacks were powerful too, not much weaker than his arrow techniques. At the very least, they could inflict serious injuries on the Jade Devouring Sky Python. And with its movements slowed, it was easier for him
