Feng Qi frowned. Although the formation seemed sturdy, sustaining this level of consumption was no long-term solution. Given enough time, even the Shadow Pavilion disciples would likely buckle.
Feng Qi could not help glancing at Su Jiu, who was locked in combat with A-Yu.
"Although I'd rather not disturb you right now, I think I should still confirm something. Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the talismans you gave us?"
It was hardly surprising that Feng Qi would ask. Their current situation was simply too dire.
Especially those talismans-he had never seen a more unreliable Purification Talisman. They had burned for a brief moment, done no damage whatsoever to these demonic beasts, and that was it?
Su Jiu did not turn to look at Feng Qi's situation. She merely sent him a single word through Voice Transmission: "Wait."
Under the Demon Seed's control, A-Yu had become extraordinarily powerful. Even Chu Luohen and Su Jiu could do nothing against her for the moment.
A-Yu seemed to have no weaknesses in this state. Although she could not evade Su Jiu and Chu Luohen's attacks, she could always form shields of varying sizes wherever she was about to be injured, blocking their attacks before the Sword Qi and arts struck her.
Of course, these shields were not all-powerful. They were single-use defenses. Whenever the pair's arts collided with a shield, both the arts and the shield vanished.
Their defensive power did not seem particularly strong, yet there truly was no opening to exploit.
Beyond that, A-Yu's offensive power had now increased exponentially.
With her otherworldly eyes, Su Jiu could naturally see the state of A-Yu's body beneath her clothes. The skin over her body, like the skin on her hands, had turned wooden.
Taken as a whole, A-Yu resembled a walking tree
