Battle for the Imperial City (Seventeen): Jiang Liu Falls into a Life-or-Death Crisis

With a flash, Flowing Cloud Matriarch flew directly into the midst of a battle between a Grandmaster of the Flowing Cloud Sect and Grandmaster the Haotian Sect.

Gongsun Haoyue then waved his Skyfire Staff, and a burst of heavenly fire appeared directly in the battle circle where a Grandmaster of the Star Moon Sect was fighting against Grandmaster of the Haotian Sect.

With a swift stroke of his longsword, Flowing Cloud Matriarch unleashed a beam of sword light that shot towards the Grandmaster of Haotian Sect.

This sudden attack startled the Grandmaster Haotian Sect, who was fighting against the Grandmaster of the Flowing Cloud Sect.

He tried desperately to dodge the attack, but he was powerless and could only watch helplessly as the sword light pierced his body.

Then the sword light circled his meridians and went directly towards his dantian.

Suddenly, he froze, then plummeted from mid-air to the ground.

The heavenly fire unleashed by Gongsun Haoyue directly entangled another Grandmaster of the Haotian Sect.

The heavenly fire relentlessly burned away the vital energy within the body of this Grandmaster of the Haotian Sect, before he could even scream in agony.

He felt that the vital energy in his dantian could no longer circulate.

It turned out that his dantian had been directly sealed by Gongsun Haoyue.

The battle between the three Grandmaster the three sects began when Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue intervened in the skies above the imperial city.

The battle between the three Grandmaster and eight battle groups in this sky quickly came to an end.

However, neither Flowing Cloud Matriarch nor Gongsun used lethal force; they merely sealed the dantian of the Grandmaster of Haotian Sect and then put them under control.

Perhaps they hadn't figured out how to deal with these Grandmaster of the Haotian Sect.

After all, the reason they killed Duanmu Haotian was simply because they happened to be there.

They had only discussed it briefly before coming, and at the very least, they wanted to join forces to defeat Duanmu Haotian.

The results achieved today were completely beyond their expectations; they had actually managed to kill Duanmu Haotian.

The main reason was that none of them expected that Duanmu Haotian, who was already at a complete disadvantage, would still fight to the death.

If he hadn't fought desperately, the two of them and the Fire-Winged Monkey probably wouldn't have been able to kill him directly today; at most, they could only defeat him.

Perhaps it was because he had always been an arrogant person that he disdained to submit to two younger women.

After all, Duanmu Haotian had always acted like a senior master when facing Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue.

How could he suddenly lower himself and beg for mercy from the two of them? That would be more painful for him than killing him.

Therefore, he would rather die in battle than beg for mercy from Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue.

In other words, Duanmu Haotian died entirely because of his own personality.

However, one has to admire that Duanmu Haotian truly deserves to be the sect leader of Haotian Sect.

Meanwhile, the three Grandmaster who were fighting inside the palace quickly noticed that the battle situation in the imperial city had undergone unexpected changes.

After all, it would be difficult for them not to know when strange things happen in the sky.

But before they could react, the situation quickly took them completely by surprise.

The sect leader of Haotian Sect seemed unable to stand up, as they sensed his aura fading away.

This means that Duanmu Haotian, the sect leader of Haotian Sect, has been defeated, or even is dead.

The Grandmaster of the Flowing Cloud Sect and Star Moon Sect were overjoyed and became extremely excited, eager to capture all their opponents.

As for the Grandmaster of the Haotian Sect, seeing that the situation was not good, they all tried to break through and see if they could escape the palace directly.

As for avenging Duanmu Haotian, they are aware of their own limitations and currently have no such intention.

Because how could they possibly take revenge against the two sect leaders of the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Star Moon Sect?

To say they were sent to their deaths is to be too kind of them.

Even if we let them self-destruct in front of these two sect leaders, it's still unknown whether they can actually harm them.

So, the most important thing right now is to escape. As for what to do next, we'll talk about that later!

However, despite their good intentions, they were thwarted by the desperate attempts of the Grandmaster from the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Star Moon Sect to intercept them.

None of them managed to escape; Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue arrived shortly afterward.

Then, using the same method, they subdued them all and sealed their dantian.

At this point, of the seventeen Grandmaster of the Haotian Sect in Sky City, only the two who had died remained.

One of them escaped outside the city, but the remaining fourteen Grandmaster were all captured.

The Haotian Sect disciples who were fighting outside the palace saw that all their elders had been captured, so they put down their weapons and surrendered.

After everything calmed down, Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue finally had time to search for Jiang Liu's whereabouts.

Only then did the two realize that Jiang Liu was lying on the back of the Fire-Winged Monkey, and judging from his condition, he seemed to have fallen into a coma.

The two were immediately startled and quickly flew to the vicinity of the Fire-Winged Monkey.

The Fire-Winged Monkey sensed the two approaching rapidly, and the hairs on its body stood on end. At the same time, it raised the Primal Qi Cudgel in its hand.

Both of them sensed the Fire-Winged Monkey's wariness and couldn't help but withdraw the energy emanating from their bodies. They then used their mental energy to send goodwill towards the Fire-Winged Monkey.

Fire-Winged Monkey carefully sensed that the two people didn't seem to have any ill intentions, which might be because they had fought together for so long.

Fire-Winged Monkey then lowered its guard and dispersed the Primal Qi Cudgel in its hand.

Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue then approached Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu was in very bad shape; his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he was trembling from time to time.

Several multicolored rays seemed to be darting around inside his body, and even his body could be seen from the outside.

This is an attack launched by Illusory Sky Palm, which has already begun to invade Jiang Liu's meridians and body.

If this attack cannot be guided out of the body in time and completely dissolved, Jiang Liu's life will be in danger at any moment.

Flowing Cloud Matriarch quickly picked up Jiang Liu and then lowered him to the ground.

Fire-Winged Monkey and Gongsun Haoyue also fell to the ground together.

Upon reaching the ground, Flowing Cloud Matriarch stretched out one hand and pressed it towards Jiang Liu's dantian.

Flowing Cloud Matriarch slowly channeled a gentle stream of primordial energy into Jiang Liu's body, intending to help Jiang Liu dissolve the several Five-Colored Light within him.

A muffled thud resounded inside Jiang Liu's body, followed by a more intense spasm, as if he had been struck by an even greater force.

Flowing Cloud Matriarch was dumbfounded. She hadn't expected that her vital energy would not only fail to eliminate the crisis within Jiang Liu, but would seem to have caused an even greater crisis.
