The sudden turn of events shocked everyone, but it had all happened too quickly for them to react. They saw only three blazing energy strikes slash toward the Transcendent Realm expert.
"Senior Brother, watch out!"
The four Heavenly Human Realm experts cried out in alarm, their hearts constricting. In an instant, they seemed to understand what was happening.
It was obvious that the three had been hiding their strength all along. Now that they had unleashed it, their target was surely the senior brother they were guarding.
The Transcendent Realm expert hadn't expected the three to move so quickly. He had no time to suppress them, so he hastily summoned his true essence to form a defense, intending to block this first strike.
The three energy attacks slammed into his protective barrier, and their immense power erupted.
The barrier couldn't withstand the assault. It shattered at once, and the three attacks struck the Transcendent Realm expert.
Though his body had already transcended the mortal realm and his defenses were formidable, he still couldn't withstand the trio's explosive attack. He spat blood and flew backward, crashing heavily into a building a hundred meters away.
The stone house collapsed beneath the impact. Many martial artists watching nearby were also killed by the powerful energy, and cries of agony filled the scene.
"How could this be? Senior Brother couldn't even block one strike?"
The four Heavenly Human Realm experts stared in shock. The senior brother they were guarding was a Transcendent Realm expert, and no weakling—yet he couldn't withstand even one strike from the three.
"Quick, stop them! I'll go save Senior Brother!"
One of them finally reacted and roared. The other three rushed toward the Liquid Metal Warriors, while he shot straight toward where the Transcendent Realm expert had fallen.
Shrill screams
