Earth Bursting Golden Lotus and Heavenly Descending Sacred Lotus are the most typical two moves of the Golden Lotus Saint Method, and also the most basic moves. But basic doesn't mean powerless; in fact, these two moves are already enough to handle many situations.
Therefore, Li Jinlian's first choice in such a situation is still these two basic moves.
Yang Fan didn't move because his body couldn't support him dodging quickly. Moreover, the scope of the spell cast by Li Jinlian, as a high-rank cultivator in the Divine Condensation Realm, couldn't be easily escaped by Yang Fan.
But ultimately, Yang Fan didn't want to move because he was sure that this is the safest place around. After all, just before, Li Jinlian's Heavenly Descending Sacred Lotus was actively countered by the river water.
