Davis was standing on the ground when his perception of danger blared like an alarm in his soul, causing him to quickly take action and jump into the skies as he tried to save the ones near him forcefully.
Once he swiped with his hand and dodged the unknown move that burst from underground and created a dome before trapping the other cultivators, he could instantly tell that the attack was of spatial attribute. It shocked him to his core since his soul force that wrapped around the three cultivators failed to save their bodies in time.
Instantly, he connected this to his previous speculations and flew even higher and controlled his energy to counterattack the moment he was pursued.
These two factors told him that once he was caught, it would be very difficult to free himself.
