That was right. Just as Ling Tian and the others had said, although Chi Xue and the others had already realized that Little Devourer was putting on an act, Venerable Sword Saint had already used up a great deal of his strength. He might not even get another chance to use Phantom Combo, so there was little to worry about. Though Chi Xue's group had used their God Devouring Bodies to protect Venerable Sword Saint and give him a chance to catch his breath, Ling Tian could still easily stop them from doing so. In that case, Venerable Sword Saint wouldn't be able to recover much.
It made sense. They had been fighting for so long that more than half of Chi Xue's group had been eliminated, and the remaining cultivators had all suffered some injuries. Even those in the best shape had used up a considerable amount of energy. Under these circumstances, Ling Tian and Little Devourer could still eliminate them without much trouble. They might even be able to knock Chi Xue and the other God Devouring Bodies out of the running.
Even if they couldn't eliminate Chi Xue and the other God Devouring Bodies, driving them away would be enough. Once they were gone, they wouldn't be able to use the God-Devouring Demon Domain to protect Venerable Sword Saint. Ling Tian and Little Devourer could then focus their attacks on him, further wearing him down. At the very least, his condition would keep worsening, making it unlikely that he could use Phantom Combo. What's more, as long as he couldn't use the technique repeatedly, even if the space shrank to a certain size, it might still pose no threat to Ling Tian and Little Devourer.
Ling Tian and the others also had another advantage: as time passed,
