It was seen that Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue were working together to attack Duanmu Haotian.

At this moment, Duanmu Haotian looked extremely miserable. He only had the upper half of his hands left, and the lower half of his arms was still Illusory Transformation of primordial energy.

His aura was faint and elusive, indicating that his internal energy was extremely unstable.

Although the Grandmaster below did not know what had happened up above, they reacted very quickly.

A Grandmaster from the Haotian Sect swiftly struck out with his palm at a Grandmaster from the Flowing Cloud Sect beside him.

Meanwhile, a Grandmaster from the Haotian Sect beside him, a Grandmaster from the Star Moon Sect, swung his sword at him.

The Grandmaster the Flowing Cloud Sect who was attacked by the Grandmaster of the Clear Sky Sect also immediately became alert and swung his long sword at the same time.

The battle between the three of them suddenly ignited like a full-blown war.

Not long after, another chaotic battle broke out in mid-air.

However, this battle mostly involved Grandmaster from the Flowing Cloud Sect and Grandmaster Star Moon Sect, who teamed up to attack the Grandmaster from the Clear Sky Sect.

Only a very few battles were one-on-one, because the Grandmaster of the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Star Moon Sect were Grandmaster who were at odds with each other.

However, instead of fighting each other, they tacitly attacked the Grandmaster of the Haotian Sect.

This sudden change stunned everyone still fighting on the city wall.

The three factions were cooperating well just moments ago, joining forces to attack the Great Qian Imperial Family.

As a result, the battle for the Great Qian Imperial Family was about to end, and they actually started fighting each other.

This was somewhat puzzling, but it didn't stop them from continuing to exterminate the remaining members of the Great Qian Imperial Family.

Because it's not something they can interfere with or concern themselves with, regardless of who wins or loses among the three factions.

They just need to do their job well, and the three sects will naturally reward them in due time.

"You two vicious women, how dare you attack me while I'm injured?"

Duanmu Haotian looked at Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue and shouted angrily in an icy tone.

"Duanmu, stop being so high and mighty. If we were both injured, would you give up the opportunity to attack us?" Gongsun Haoyue sneered from the side.

Flowing Cloud Matriarch remained silent, wielding his long sword as he continued his attack on Duanmu Haotian.

While dodging the attacks from Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue, Duanmu Haotian said, "Do you really intend to kill me today?"

Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue simply ignored him and continued their coordinated attack.

Jiang Liu hid to the side and ordered the Fire-Winged Monkey to attack Duanmu Haotian.

Upon receiving Jiang Liu's command, the Fire-Winged Monkey was immediately filled with excitement.

Even the aura that had weakened somewhat due to the constant attacks on Dao Fan Shangren has become strong again.

It seems that the Fire-Winged Monkey harbors quite a bit of hatred towards Duanmu Haotian!

Previously, they only dared not attack Duanmu Haotian because they had not received Jiang Liu's orders.

Moreover, it probably knew that it was no match for Duanmu Haotian on its own, which is why it had been holding back.

Now that it has such a good opportunity for revenge, it must be excited.

So even the fatigue in my body disappeared a lot, and my listless aura increased significantly.

The Fire-Winged Monkey swung its Primal Qi Cudgel down at Duanmu Haotian, creating a flurry of staff shadows.

It turns out that the Fire-Winged Monkey's attacks are no longer just straightforward; it can now use stick techniques, and its body moves along with them.

Moreover, its attacks follow a set pattern, and its power increases as the attack continues.

Jiang Liu stood aside and watched, keeping watch in case Duanmu Haotian couldn't hold on and tried to escape at all costs.

Then he can use his speed to restrain him.

Since Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue have chosen to wage war against Haotian Sect today, all he can do is try his best to cooperate.

Soon, Duanmu Haotian gradually became overwhelmed by the attacks from Flowing Cloud Matriarch, Gongsun Haoyue, and Fire-Winged Monkey.

Especially now that his hands are broken, his vital energy is gradually starting to deplete.

Most importantly, the energy fluctuations that had temporarily subsided when he used the Haotian Three Styles have started to stir again.

At that moment, Jiang Liu suddenly sensed a danger rapidly approaching him.

Jiang Liu didn't have time to think. He pushed off with his feet, Nebula Shrunken Earth moved at his will, propelling him rapidly backward.

After flying a distance, Jiang Liu finally saw that the one who had ambushed him was actually a Grandmaster of the Haotian Sect.

The Grandmaster of Haotian Sect was astonished to see that Jiang Liu had dodged his attack.

He quickly swung his longsword again, thrusting it towards Jiang Liu.

Seeing that it was Grandmaster from the Haotian Sect who had ambushed him, Jiang Liu did not back down this time. He directly released his Divine Sense to envelop the Grandmaster.

At the same time, he stopped and instead of retreating, he advanced, taking eight steps forward in succession. Jiang Liu directly unleashed the Eight Steps of Trampling.

A powerful aura swept over the Grandmaster of the Haotian Sect.

"Ah!" As soon as Jiang Liu got close, the Grandmaster of Haotian Sect who had ambushed him let out a scream and was frozen in place.

Jiang Liu's figure arrived right in front of him, and Jiang Liu swung his broadsword in the process.

With a "whoosh!", the Grandmaster Haotian Sect who had ambushed Jiang Liu was cleaved in two by Jiang Liu's sword.

Jiang Liu looked down at the battle below and realized that the Grandmaster of Haotian Sect who had ambushed him earlier must have come from the Imperial City.

Because the battle groups below have already presented an extremely unfavorable situation for the Haotian Sect.

Most of the battle groups consisted of Grandmaster from the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Star Moon Sect besieging Grandmaster from the Clear Sky Sect.

Meanwhile, the extermination of the Great Qian Imperial Family's forces on the city walls and inside the imperial city was nearing its end.

Qi Shengyuan of the White Saint Society was engaged in the final battle.

He dared not participate in the battle between the three sects; if he did, it would be irreversible no matter which sect won in the end.

None of the defeated factions would let him go, so he wisely led his team to continue besieging and killing the remaining forces of the Great Qian Imperial Family.

As for the innermost part of the imperial city, near the palace, Jiang Liu couldn't see what was happening, nor did he know where Jiang Lan and Wei Jin had gone.

However, we can make those plans after the battle here is over.

Jiang Liu's mind is now entirely focused on the battle between the three sect leaders.

Because today, regardless of who wins or loses, the three sects have completely broken ties.

The reason they didn't fight a major battle before was probably because the Great Qian Imperial Family was there to mediate.

Now that the Great Qian Imperial Family has been destroyed, they can wage war without any scruples.

Especially now that Duanmu Haotian is seriously injured, it would be strange if Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue didn't seize the opportunity to attack Duanmu Haotian relentlessly.

Jiang Liu knew from many elders that when Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue first ascended to the throne, they suffered a lot of anger from Duanmu Haotian.

At that time, there were also many conflicts between the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Star Moon Sect, so the three sects were able to maintain a balance of power.

There is now a united force between the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Star Moon Sect.

It's not surprising that Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue wanted to seize this opportunity to kill Duanmu Haotian.
