Lost

The Turtle Demon grew cautious, losing its previous recklessness and weakening its attacks. Xue Qingmei felt the same apprehension; she feared for the two Qi Gathering Stage disciples, as the Small Three Talents Formation required all three to function, and losing one would render it powerless. Xue Qingmei was self-aware enough to know that without the formation, she was no match for the Turtle Demon, so she dared not counterattack and focused entirely on defense.

In this way, although the situation was critical, the Turtle Demon could not break the Small Three Talents Formation in the short term, and both sides fell into a stalemate.

On the deck, the situation for the Sea Heaven Sect was equally grim. The Qi Gathering cultivators were performing better because they could employ joint-attack techniques to fight against superior numbers; while they were focused on defense, they were not in immediate danger.

In contrast, the situation for the Dao Foundation Stage cultivators was far worse. The True Dragon facing Kong Yi was a top-tier Dao Foundation disciple of the Seven Hegemons of the East Sea, and their strength was evenly matched. Although Kong Yi's power had increased significantly in recent years, he still lagged far behind the top disciples of such massive sects and had fallen completely on the defensive.

Wei Qing and Yang Ming were slightly weaker than Kong Yi, but they were each facing a Cold Chi Dragon and a Fire Flood Dragon respectively; holding their own in a one-on-one fight was difficult enough, let alone one-on-two.

The remaining seven Dao Foundation disciples were fighting eleven demons of the same rank, and the scene was dire. Kong Yi cursed inwardly; this was not a battlefield between humans and demons, so there was no one to call for help except his fellow sect
