Everyone had their own fighting habits. Su Xin's had always been to crush his opponent in one burst of force, leaving them not the slightest chance—a style fierce and overbearing to the extreme.
Su Xin had originally intended to seize the moment when Ji Wuling's primordial spirit was affected and kill Yi Jianting in one fell swoop, then turn back to deal with Ji Wuling.
But the one thing he had not expected was for Ji Wuling's primordial spirit to be so powerful. Even an attack unleashed with all of Su Xin's primordial spirit power had only affected Ji Wuling for such a brief moment—not nearly enough time to kill Yi Jianting.
