It was not just the elites of the Nine Satellites of the Muyas who did not expect this. Even Pope Qiao An could not believe that an elder who had activated a sacred body and had been enhanced by at least 30 Nine Satellites' sacrificial offerings, including her, the Pope, would be destroyed the moment he rushed out.
An elder who had activated a sacred body could easily withstand the attacks of 10 Nine Satellites, not to mention the full support of Pope Qiao An, and the others. Even if 20 to 30 Nine Satellites focused their fire, this fanatic elder could still hold on for three to four seconds.
Three to four seconds was enough for the elite troops of the Muyas to rush in. In fact, it would not take three to four seconds. As long as this elder could hold on for less than a second, the subsequent elite troops would be able to rush in and immediately counterattack.
