The surrounding Void Martial Realm experts were already growing impatient. They did not want to wait any longer.
One of them made a move, setting all the others into action.
As they began fighting one another, some still tried to charge at Huang Xiao. Fan Zhongkun gritted his teeth and swiftly blocked their path, holding off the Voidless Realm experts who wanted to attack Huang Xiao.
But each time Fan Zhongkun blocked a blow, his body shuddered and he retreated a step, his injuries worsening.
Fan Zhongkun did not know whether Huang Xiao could survive, but he could not let these people interfere. If Huang Xiao succeeded, he should be able to increase his strength somewhat. Although Fan Zhongkun did not think it would help much, it was better than nothing.
So, at this moment, he would not allow these people to disturb Huang Xiao.
Of course, these people were also keeping one another in check, which prevented them from focusing all their attention on Fan Zhongkun and Huang Xiao. Much of their energy still went into fighting one another.
In any case, the two Evil Blades were with Fan Zhongkun and Huang Xiao, in the hands of the weaker men. That put their minds somewhat at ease. After all, whichever side won would be able to seize the Evil Blades from these two with ease.
If the Evil Blades fell into the hands of Void Martial Realm experts now, even surrounding and attacking them would offer little chance of taking the blades back. There were three factions here, after all. Once one faction obtained the Evil Blades, the other two combined might be able to suppress it, but they could not kill its members and seize the blades in a short time. The holders would have little trouble escaping.
