However, with the group of people engaged in a fierce battle above, no one noticed the subtle change below.
Meanwhile, the demon experts grew increasingly disheartened as the battle progressed. Their opponent was far too formidable, like a god of war. Even if they were to win, most of them would likely perish here, and none of them wanted to become casualties.
Duan Tiande, however, was quick-witted. He knew that defeating Zu'an head-on would be difficult, so he set his sights on the women nearby.
The woman who fought with the painting was quite skilled. Although Princess Soren held back, she was clearly not someone who could be easily defeated.
As for the fierce-looking woman, she was currently slapping Princess Changning repeatedly across the face. Princess Changning, who usually possessed considerable cultivation, was like a child, utterly powerless to resist, and was being beaten miserably.
Upon seeing this scene, Duan Tiande was startled; it was best not to provoke this tigress.
So he easily locked his attention on Yan Xuehen. This woman had the weakest aura and seemed to have suffered a serious injury. All she had shown before was her extensive knowledge, and she didn't seem to be good at fighting.
As for Qiao Heng, who was fighting her, he went too far in holding back.
Thinking of this, he jumped into the shadows and emerged from the shadows beside Yan Xuehen, his sword held against her neck, intending to use her to threaten Zu An.
But the seemingly frail woman seemed to have sensed his attack beforehand, and with a turn, she skillfully dodged it.
At the same time, with a sweep of her snow-white sleeve, he felt a gentle force coming from his longsword, almost causing it to fly away.
He was horrified. What was wrong with this woman? Why were her methods so sophisticated?
Just then, an arrow shot out from the side. His alarm bells went off, and he quickly dodged to the side, glaring angrily at Qiao Heng beside him: "What are you doing!"
Qiao Heng said in a deep voice, "This is my opponent, and I will not allow anyone else to interfere."
Duan Tiande laughed angrily: "Who couldn't see that you were holding back just now? The most important thing now is to capture her as a hostage, or we'll all die!"
The other demon experts were also dissatisfied with the situation and began to curse, urging Qiao Heng to be mindful of his status and quickly resolve the matter here so he could go over there to help.
Qiao Heng's expression shifted between light and dark. His slacking off had been exposed, and now he couldn't help either side.
Just then, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from below. The pool around the three flowers turned crimson, completely transforming into a blood pool. The blood inside seemed to boil, spreading outwards continuously until it covered the entire floor of the hall, with a steady upward trend.
Then the entire platform, along with the transparent steps, suddenly disappeared, and the people fighting on it instantly lost their balance and fell into the blood pool.
