Although Chi Xue and the others could now inflict some casualties on the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers, and could deliberately let some slip through to ease the pressure while allowing Little One and the other Ancient Divine Beasts to capture and seal them, the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers were still slowly advancing. The farther they advanced, the more pressure they put on Chi Xue and the others. This was not only because more soldiers could join the assault; more importantly, the Entity Arrows they fired grew more powerful.

In other words, the pressure Chi Xue and the others would face would increase significantly.
If they had not thought of abandoning the formation and then using their speed and superior archery to maneuver against the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers, Chi Xue and the others would have been deeply worried by now. Even so, they did not want to give up the formation so easily. After all, relying on it would let them capture more Nine Nether Nether Soldiers, and, more importantly, the formation was close to the Demon God Forbidden Ground.
