Watching the demons continue to flee Blue Star at high speed, Lin Yi ultimately reined himself in and chose not to strike.
He knew that attacking now would not guarantee their complete annihilation; the first one to flee was already too far away. Furthermore, even if he did manage to destroy them all, the demons that followed would only grow more cautious, fearing an immediate return to Blue Star. If that happened, Lin Yi would be left with no trump cards.
If he could buy enough time, he might be able to fully surpass these demons through the System, and the people of Blue Star could grow stronger in tandem. But if time ran out, Blue Star would have nothing left to fall back on. By letting them retreat now, he would force them to hesitate. Next time, they would surely bring even greater force, and that was when he would wipe them out in one fell swoop, buying himself even more time.
