Before the forty-third bolt of Heavenly Thunder arrived, Su Jiu had already realized that her earlier plan probably would not work.
She glanced at Yun Huanling, who had fallen completely unconscious, pursed her lips, and chose to take out half of her remaining Magic Treasures.
In truth, even half would not be enough this time. Besides, at this point, the number of Magic Treasures no longer determined how effective their defenses would be.
After all, most of the Magic Treasures they used for defense were only Spirit Artifacts. Those were certainly powerful to an ordinary cultivator, but against Heavenly Thunder of this caliber, they were as insignificant as could be.
For the first time, Su Jiu attempted to lay out a composite Defensive Formation.
Watching Su Jiu's movements, Little Pearl could only think that she had gone mad.
"You're already short on blood and vitality, and you're still setting up a formation like this? Are you afraid you aren't dying fast enough?"
"I know what I'm doing."
Little Pearl gritted her teeth. You don't know a damned thing.
Though the Composite Grand Array was powerful, its complexity meant that its spiritual qi consumption rose in direct proportion.
Su Jiu had already held on for three days with Great Restoration Pills. In other words, she had not properly sat down to meditate during those three days, relying entirely on the little spiritual qi in the pills to sustain her.
