The Sky Pirate Leader laughed wildly.
"So that is your weakness!"
His eyes gleamed with vicious understanding.
"If you won't move—then die protecting them!"
The flaming spear dispersed into countless condensed fire-lances, each one burning with half-step Immortal pressure.
His target was set now. It wasn't Bai Zihan but the Flying Ship behind him.
The reason was easy to guess. Strike at Bai Zihan and he could easily dodge. However, when he targeted the Flying Ship, Bai Zihan was forced to block the attack.
And while Bai Zihan was able to do so right now, gradually he would tire himself out and eventually be struck.
The deck below trembled violently as the formation screens flared under the residual heat alone.
Bai Xueqing's jaw tightened.
She understood instantly.
He was forcing Bai Zihan into a defensive stance.
Every strike was calculated.
"Shouldn't we leave the Flying Ship?"
