Their actions clearly aimed to take advantage as the Golden Sword Sect disciples were consuming more energy.
After all, the cultivators of the Zhenyang Sect, with the help of the Third Order Defensive Array, were inevitably using less spiritual power than those of the Golden Sword Sect.
Although overall, they still did not have the upper hand.
But if they did not take this opportunity to weaken the enemy's combat power, it would naturally be much harder to gain an advantage once they recovered.
And Chen Jingtian naturally understood this point, and specifically brought only Foundation Establishment cultivators into battle, making it more flexible to either retreat or attack.
On the contrary, if he brought Qi Refining cultivators into the fray, their lower cultivation and limited power meant the damage they could do to Golden Core cultivators was extremely limited.
Moreover, the movement of an army composed of thousands of cultivators would inevitably be too cumbersome.
