Ming Zhi Tian dodged and wielded his sword, unleashing a strike beside him: "Wu He Xing Long Yao Hua Fan Xing Quan!"
Zhan Bu Ding, unable to avert his eyes from the sudden flash of silver light, still managed to unleash an attack: "Bai Zhan Qi Jue…"
However, before he could even finish half of his move, Ming Zhi Tian's new killing blow struck him. He had thought it would only be a severe injury, but Ming Zhi Tian had burned his vital essence and, with his profound cultivation, finished him off with a single strike!
"Kacha!..." Zhan Bu Ding, filled with unwillingness, dissolved into a mist of blood and died on the spot.
Meanwhile, Fei Jiang, already wounded and incapacitated, watched as Ou Huang Zun Huang battled against Jue Luo. Their powers clashed continuously, but it was clear that Ou Huang Zun Huang was on the losing end and about to be overwhelmed.
Just as Jue Luo's blood mist was a mere millimeter from Ou Huang Zun Huang's face, Fei Jiang intervened, striking to repel Jue Luo who feared a surprise counterattack and backlash, thus saving Ou Huang Zun Huang.
Ou Huang Zun Huang looked at him gratefully, "You've saved this emperor's life once again."
Jue Luo narrowed his eyes, "To still be able to fight after shedding a layer of skin, worthy of the Divine Wolf Fei Jiang."
Fei Jiang showed no hesitation, "Qian Ji Ba Huang!"
"Hmph, hmm?" Jue Luo was about to move when he suddenly sensed a crisis from behind!
"Wu He! Xuan Luo Xing Long Yao Hua Fan Xing Shen Jian Zhan!"
Ming Zhi Tian, piloting five divine swords, unleashed his strongest attack! Jue Luo blocked Fei Jiang's Qian Ji Ba Huang with 40% of his left hand's power, and defended against Ming Zhi Tian's Wu He Xuan Luo Xing Long Yao Hua Fan Xing Shen Jian Zhan with 60% of his right hand's magical energy!
Ou Huang Zun Huang punched towards his chest, about to pierce his heart!
Jue Luo kicked out to block the attack, still managing to mock, "A mere trio of geniuses joining forces, nothing more."
The next second, Ou Huang Zun Huang instantly conjured a clone, which bypassed him from behind and pierced his heart with a single punch.
"Pfft!" Jue Luo's defense was instantly broken! Fei Jiang's Qian Ji Ba Huang and Ming Zhi Tian's Wu He Xuan Luo Xing Long Yao Hua Fan Xing Shen Jian Zhan followed suit, severing him at the waist!
Jue Luo stared at Ou Huang Zun Huang in disbelief even in death, "No! Impossible! You're clearly not in the Divine King realm, how could you conjure a clone? No!!… Uh…..."
Ou Huang Zun Huang didn't spare him another glance, kicking his three severed limbs away, "Who says only Divine Kings can conjure clones?"
He had once been a figure ranked among the Divine Emperor realm; what was a mere Divine King to him?
Ming Zhi Tian unleashed his latest and strongest sword strike! His spiritual energy depleted, he lost his balance and fell from mid-air. Ou Huang Zun Huang wanted to save him, but his own spiritual energy was also almost gone, and he could barely save himself.
Ming Zhi Tian landed with a broken bone, but soon, the Longevity Art within him self-repaired, his spiritual energy was replenished, and he slowly stood up, rejoining his broken bones.
Ou Huang Zun Huang also fell, though not from a great height, and his life was not in danger. Fei Jiang fared worse; already having shed a layer of skin, his spiritual energy was now nearly depleted, and he too fell from a height. Fortunately, his physique was robust, and he only suffered internal injuries.
Ming Zhi Tian first administered a Grade 100 healing elixir to Ou Huang Zun Huang, then, as if it were free, fed Fei Jiang bottle after bottle of Grade 100 elixirs for emergency treatment.
Ou Huang Zun Huang frowned, "His internal and external injuries are both very severe. Infusing too many elixirs into him now will be counterproductive and potentially life-threatening."
Ming Zhi Tian waved his hand, "It's fine, I know the Spirit Merging Art, and with the Spirit Gathering Pill to neutralize it, it's harmless."
He applied external medicine to Fei Jiang. Though still weak, Fei Jiang could now walk.
Collecting the puppet and Ou Huang Zun Huang, Ming Zhi Tian accompanied Fei Jiang into the nearest city, Peng Cheng, as Hua Ru Xian and Hua Ru Hua might be lodging there.
