As for the Sword King Mu Zhifeng, he was equally in a dire state, drenched in blood, looking utterly miserable.
The three great experts could be said to have suffered mutual destruction.
"Dammit, you all have made me so miserable!" Xiahou Zun said with a grim face, gritting his teeth and roaring, before spitting out another mouthful of blood. His complexion finally regained some color.
"Damn it."
The faces of Sword King Mu Zhifeng and Old Huo were also extremely unsightly. They never expected that Xiahou Zun would be so terrifying; even with the two of them joining forces, they couldn't stop him.
Now, this was troublesome.
The two looked at Xiahou Zun in despair. After this battle, everyone was heavily injured, and neither had the strength to continue fighting. Their internal foundations were damaged, and restoring them would consume a lot of energy.
In fact, the two could only crazily recover their broken bodies, with no strength left to fight again. If they were to engage in battle now, it would be risking their lives; even if they won, they would undoubtedly perish after their foundations were shattered.
At this moment, no one dared to act rashly. If the other side still had strength, it would undoubtedly be a suicidal action.
Just then, the young master of Liuhuo Fortress, who had been hiding in the flying ship observing the battle, drew a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Hahaha, Old Huo, Sword King Mu Zhifeng, you both did well. You blocked Xiahou Zun for me, and now it's time to leave the rest to me. Hehe, I've never killed a late-stage Saint Master before. I didn't expect today to be that day. Killing a late-stage Saint Master will surely be exhilarating, right? Hahaha."
As the young master of Liuhuo Fortress spoke, he had already activated the entire flying ship. With a hum, rays of rainbow light erupted from the ship, as the previously broken restrictions were quickly repaired and activated once more.
Terrifying runes swirled around the flying ship, transforming into streams of deadly light that quickly gathered at the front of the ship. The young master of Liuhuo Fortress's eyes flashed with a fierce killing intent. Boom! He suddenly remote-controlled the flying ship, and in an instant, an astonishing Holy Yuan cannon was formed at the ship's head, firing fiercely at Xiahou Zun.
"Young master, stop!"
Old Huo looked on, dumbfounded. At this time, the young master did not bring them back to the flying ship but instead attacked Xiahou Zun. Wasn't this asking for death? Although Xiahou Zun appeared to be in a terrible state now, who could know if he had any trump cards left? If either of them still possessed fighting strength, they could still take a gamble.
But now both of them had no strength left to fight. The remaining guards of Liuhuo Fortress were either dead or injured. This young master thought he could slay a former late-stage Saint Master with just a broken flying ship...
Old Huo felt a surge of inexplicable anger; the young master was simply a madman.
Boom!
The towering Holy Yuan light column surged towards Xiahou Zun in an instant.
At the critical moment, a massive array disk appeared suddenly before Xiahou Zun. On that giant disk, a hazy halo emerged, transforming into what looked like a celestial chessboard, and with a loud bang, it instantaneously blocked the Holy Yuan light column.
Puff!
Xiahou Zun spat out another mouthful of blood, but boundless killing intent surged in his eyes.
"Not good!"
Sword King Mu Zhifeng and Old Huo were both startled. Xiahou Zun actually still had the strength to fight.
Their hearts sank like a giant stone sinking into the sea.
"What? Blocked? I want to see how many more times you can hold on," the young master of Liuhuo Fortress said with a crazed expression. He had to admit he was a lunatic; at a time like this, the killing intent was still so strong, showing not the slightest bit of fear. Instead, he crazily urged the flying ship into action, turning it towards Xiahou Zun. Boom! Boom! Boom! Waves of restrictive light surged towards Xiahou Zun.
