Daoist Xuan Zhen stroked his beard and said, "It seems that Ji Ningshuang's tactics are running out. Bringing out this protective aura with limited attack power must mean she has another purpose."
Old Man Zhuge nodded noncommittally.
Shangguan Yu asked, perplexed, "What purpose could she have?"
Bi You also turned his gaze toward Old Man Zhuge and Daoist Xuan Zhen, waiting for their answer.
"It's unclear at the moment, but judging from Ji Ningshuang's stance, her choice seems to be the same as Chu Yi's, both stalling for time."
Yang Dingtian suddenly spoke up.
"There's that possibility. Ji Ningshuang would rather bring out the protective Mysterious Spirit Qi, even at the cost of potential damage to her Mysterious Spirit Physique. What does that indicate?"
"It indicates that these sword rains formed by the Mysterious Spirit Qi are nothing but a blinding technique of hers."
"Her real final attack to subdue Chu Yi likely lies hidden."
