The skeletal phantom was incredibly terrifying. As it bit down, it carried a chilling, eerie power that ordinary Saint Yuan could not withstand.
Those below the peak stage of Saint Master had almost no resistance against it. Even a Saint Treasure unleashed by a mid-stage Saint Master was bitten to brilliance, shattering into pieces.
"Fire Elder, save me!"
One mid-stage Saint Master was bitten halfway, immediately letting out a tragic scream. One could clearly see his internal organs writhing as a source of power circulated to repair his body. He struggled and flew toward Fire Elder while calling for help loudly.
Nearby his left side, the wound was filled with a bizarre icy power that clung to him like maggots, refusing to disperse and rapidly corroding his other intact flesh. By the time he flew in front of Fire Elder, half of his body had already revealed white bones.
A flash of ruthlessness crossed Fire Elder's eyes. As the man got closer, he swung his fist and struck him on the head.
With a loud "bang," the man's head burst apart like a smashed watermelon.
The surviving guards of the Liuhuo Fortress immediately fell silent, each one looking at Fire Elder with fear and dread.
"He won't survive!"
Fire Elder shouted angrily, "Rather than letting him suffer, it's better to give him a quick death!"
After this turmoil, Fire Elder had already gathered the remaining Liuhuo Fortress guards together, but several had already fallen.
"Hahaha!"
The loud laughter of Xiahou Zun rang out, "Are the people from Liuhuo Fortress this ruthless in their actions?
Today, I have truly gained knowledge."
Fire Elder was instantly enraged by his mockery and shouted, "Old Xiahou, if you have the ability, show yourself and fight me directly. What kind of skill is it to rely on the power of the formation?"
"How ridiculous! If relying on the power of the formation isn't a skill, then you believe that using numbers to bully the few is a skill?"
Xiahou Zun scoffed.
Seeing that provoking him was ineffective, Fire Elder could only turn and shout at the remaining guards of Liuhuo Fortress, "What are you waiting for?
If you want to live, attack this formation with all your might!"
Upon hearing this, everyone dared not to hesitate. They quickly unleashed their strongest divine abilities, striking aimlessly around them.
Although Fire Elder's previous cruelty made them fearful, they knew he was right. Under the cover of the Ghost King Fengdu formation, if they wanted to survive, they had to continue attacking.
"A bunch of clowns!"
After mocking them, Xiahou Zun suddenly appeared in midair. With a change of his hand seal, the grand formation erupted with a blinding brilliance, transforming into a massive black streak of light that emitted a staggering oppressive aura that terrified everyone.
"Go!"
With a wave of his hand, the enormous black streak of light shot towards the flying ship of Liuhuo Fortress at an incredible speed, catching everyone off guard.
With a bang, a blinding light suddenly erupted from the flying ship of Liuhuo Fortress. The forbidden formation of the ship shook violently, generating astonishing ripples.
Boom! The entire flying ship shook violently from the impact.
"Fire Elder, save me!"
On the flying ship, the young master of Liuhuo Fortress revealed a look of terror in his eyes as he shouted in horror.
"Chen, what do we do?
The people from Liuhuo Fortress seem to be on the verge of collapse."
In a certain void, Qin Chen and the others were hidden, watching the battle closely.
"Don't panic, I feel like something's not right,"
Qin Chen said with a furrowed brow. Although Xiahou Zun had the upper hand at the moment, he always felt things were not that simple, as if something was subtly off.
Sure enough, the moment Fire Elder noticed Xiahou Zun reveal himself, it seemed he had been waiting for this moment. As Xiahou Zun appeared, a sharp glint flashed in Fire Elder's eyes. Boom! The fists on his gauntlets erupted with a blazing fire, transforming into a fire law that tore apart the skeletal phantom's bite, sweeping ferociously toward where Xiahou Zun had appeared.
