A crisp "crack" sound came from behind him. Zhou Xuanye turned around and saw that the knife that was blocking the long stick had somehow turned into a hand.
Under the pressure of the long stick, the hand twisted and deformed until it broke.
The long staff continued forward toward the severed arm, as if to smash Lan Zhan's body to pieces, but Lan Zhan's blade had already arrived.
The crimson blade light cleanly and swiftly severed Zhou Xuanye's body. Before he could react, the blade light trembled in place, and the shattered blade energy, like a meat grinder, tore Zhou Xuanye's body into pieces.
"This strike is to avenge the innocent people who died unjustly."
And you too, none of you will escape!
Lan Zhan's tone was cold. After killing Zhou Xuanye, he did not linger at all and turned to attack Zhou Xuan'an, the King of Liaobei.
Today he is completely certain that the Three Kings of the Northern Frontier are lackeys of the Yin Corpse Sect.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to cultivate so many strong individuals.
The two who fought against Beijiang Zhanxianjian and Jiang Lan must be so-called top-level half-immortals.
If he weren't lacking in strength, Lan Zhan would love to fight those top-tier demigods.
......
With the Blue Warriors' combat power unleashed, coupled with Zhou Tianxiong and his two companions launching a sneak attack from the side, they have become an uncontrollable factor on the battlefield.
Just as the remaining four members of the royal family, all at the peak of the Dharma Manifestation Realm, were about to make a move, Xiao Qing stopped them.
On the outskirts of the battlefield, a pair of eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
These bastards are practically asking for death!
No matter how angry he was, no matter how strong he was, he could only watch helplessly in this situation.
After all, even the Maya Ancestor who was in charge of the plan wasn't in a hurry, so there was no use in him being anxious.
......
One should press on with one's might, but the momentum will wane with each attempt, and exhaust it completely with each subsequent one.
This phrase is most suitable to describe Jiang Lan.
At this point, after her initial outburst, she was already somewhat overwhelmed by the formidable Zhou Moye.
Jiang Lan also switched from her initial aggressive attacks to a defensive strategy.
To her surprise, after she switched to a defensive stance, Zhou Moye on the other side did not launch any further attacks.
Even Zhou Xuanye's death did not cause this invincible master to have the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Could it be that... he doesn't care about Zhou Xuanye's death?
Thinking of this, Jiang Lan's expression hardened slightly.
These people's goal never seemed to be to settle the score today.
If that's the case, then what are they trying to do?
A series of questions arose in Jiang Lan's mind.
But she quickly cleared her mind of all distractions; whatever the other party's purpose was, it no longer mattered.
Now all she has to do is win this battle.
The best outcome would naturally be to avoid having to take action.
......
On the other hand, Zhou Moye was far less calm than she appeared.
He tried his best to suppress his anger and prevent himself from exploding.
To put it bluntly, everything we're going through today is a setup.
His goal was never to break ties with the Jixia Academy.
That is why he sent out all the perfect Dharma images from the Northern Frontier.
The purpose was to use their superior strength to completely seize control of the battlefield.
No matter how much Zhou Moye overestimated the strength of the Jixia Academy, he never thought that his thirty-seven Dharma Image Perfection cultivators would be unable to control the situation.
But that's the reality. These perfected Dharma forms not only couldn't control the situation, but the situation was even getting worse.
Breaking the deadlock is quite simple; Zhou Moye doesn't even need to force Jiang Lan to back down.
All he had to do was tell the children to fight to their hearts' content.
After all, they are both at the perfect stage of Dharma, and if they were to fight to the death, it would be uncertain who would win or lose.
But Zhou Moye is different; this whole situation is ultimately about cooperating with the Jixia Academy.
If we fight to the death today, and too many powerful individuals fall, the Jixia Academy may be unwilling to form an alliance.
One wrong move, and the Ziyang Immortal Sect might even get the short end of the stick.
This was something Zhou Moye could not accept, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and bear it, even if it meant more children would die.
But it was all worth it.
......
Meanwhile, inside Chengping Building, Chen Kui looked at Li Fan.
Li Fan naturally understood Chen Kui's meaning, but he gently shook his head, "Wait a little longer!"
A third-party force appeared in Li Fan's perception.
Those immortals, their robes fluttering and their feet resting on magical artifacts, were approaching Chengtian Gate with an air of transcendence.
Li Fan was unsure what changes their appearance would bring.
With variables involved, we must be even more careful.
"The people from the Ziyang Immortal Sect are almost at Chengtian Gate."
I can sense a total of thirty-six streams of energy, thirty-four of which belong to half-immortals from the Immortal Sect.
The remaining two were both martial artists; one was at the tenth-grade Dharma Manifestation level, and the other's strength was no less than that of Senior Overlord!
After Li Fan finished speaking, the expressions of the people present varied.
Chen Kui frowned slightly, immediately realizing that this was a tricky situation.
Li Fan could only sense thirty-six people, but that doesn't mean that only these half-immortals from the Ziyang Immortal Sect came.
Behind them, there must be top-tier immortals from the immortal sects.
According to existing intelligence, the Ziyang Immortal Sect has at least two top-tier half-immortals stationed at the Wenxian Pavilion.
Adding to the list of those who joined the Wu slave Chen Yao and the Master Banxi of the Secret Temple, there are a total of four people with unparalleled combat power in the human world.
This force is so powerful that it can simultaneously contend with both sides fighting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Unrivaled combat power in the human world, four against four!
Although their combat strength at the perfect Dharma Form level was thirty-five against sixty-something.
But those half-immortals from the immortal sects are not ordinary beings who have achieved perfect Dharma manifestation.
Even the weakest among them, using all their skills, can unleash combat power at the level of those listed on the Heavenly Hero Ranking. Not to mention the top experts, who can even rival Xu Mang in the battle of Qingzhou.
Adding to the fact that the royal family is currently taking an ambiguous stance towards the immortal sects, if a real war breaks out, let alone an alliance, the Jixia Academy might end up being attacked from both sides.
If that's the case, then even if the top expert hidden in the academy takes action, they might not necessarily come out on top.
Today, a fierce battle is likely inevitable.
Chen Kui narrowed his eyes slightly and lightly tapped the hilt of the Yazi sword with his palm.
Dongfang Qingming did not notice Chen Kui's actions; his gaze was entirely focused on Li Fan.
The number of half-immortals in the immortal sects did not shock Dongfang Qingming.
After all, no matter how many enemies there are or who they are, he has decided to fight alongside Li Fan today.
He was shocked by Li Fan's methods.
Even though Li Fan was injured like this, he could still sense the energy around him.
Moreover, their numbers and strength can be easily ascertained.
Dongfang Qingming no longer knew how to describe this ability.
If I had to put it in a way, it would be that Li Fan had opened his third eye.
With such cheat-like supernatural power, anyone who opposes Li Fan will be in big trouble.
Fortunately, she had already reconciled with Li Fan; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
