"That woman"
Zhang Xiaoyun looked up sharply. He only remembered that when the Four Symbols Formation started, the High Priest and she seemed to have discussed something, and then that woman disappeared. She didn't reappear until the High Priest died, making him almost forget about her.
Unexpectedly, she suddenly appeared at this critical moment and even destroyed the Four Saints Grand Formation!
What are you going to do?
But no matter what was done, the destruction of the Four Saints Grand Formation completely changed the outcome of the battle between the two monsters!
Although the event was sudden, how could an emperor, who was good at seizing opportunities, let go of this god-given chance? The moment the Two Aspects collapsed, he did not hesitate to gather his strength, just to launch a counterattack.
But while he reacted quickly, the opponent reacted even faster!
Once the Two Aspects Technique was broken, a cold glint flashed in Kagura's eyes, and she retreated without hesitation to exchange a palm strike with her opponent!
At this moment, the emperor was in a state where his old power had been exhausted and his new power had not yet been generated. The incomparable power of the Golden Crow that had been unstoppable just moments before suddenly lost at least 70% of its momentum. Faced with this sudden palm strike, the emperor felt a tightness in his chest and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. The breath he had been holding in was instantly released!
A bitter smile immediately appeared on his face. He now realized how powerful his enemy was. This palm strike was so strong that even if they had fought head-on just now, he might not have really lost, let alone now that he was in a weakened state. He had underestimated the heroes of the world.
The energy has dissipated; there is no chance left!
Kagura, on the other side, didn't look much better.
The destruction of her Two Aspects and Yang had already left her breathless, and now, with another fierce attack, her last breath was almost gone, making it impossible for her to maintain her King Level power. At this moment, the woman whose aura was similar to that of an emperor had already arrived at lightning speed.
He had no chance to deliver the killing blow.
If the emperor could break through to the King Level, that woman certainly could too. If it were just now, with her Two Aspects still intact, after killing the emperor, her next target would be that Nüwa from the Xiao Household. She would definitely leave no future troubles. Even if she only had half a breath left at the time, she was confident that she could win if she had Two Aspects in hand.
Given the current situation, if I continue to be greedy, I'm afraid I'll end up being the one left behind.
She was not one to hesitate. After assessing the situation, she did not hesitate to use her last bit of King Level power to quickly retreat towards the White Tiger Palace and her own army.
The Empress snorted coldly, her eyes filled with killing intent, but in the end she did not chase after him. Instead, she caught her dying brother in one step.
At this moment, the emperor's face was ashen, and he was extremely weak. It was likely that his internal organs had suffered considerable damage, and he was also unable to breathe. If I did not intervene, he would probably die within a few breaths from the explosion of his blood and qi.
It seems that this time, the idea of taking complete control is just wishful thinking.
The Empress sighed, and a black flame enveloped the emperor. Under the burning flame, the emperor's powerful aura visibly weakened. The Ancient Demon priest in the distance, witnessing this, was stunned. " The Yin Crow Flame, so that's it!"
"Priest, what is that?" Zhang Xiaoyun asked, somewhat surprised.
"Like the Phoenix, the Golden Crow also has Yin and Yang aspects. However, the Yin Crow Flame is rarely seen, so it's normal that you don't know about it. This Yin Crow Flame is the gentlest and most wondrous thing in the world. It is one of the few things that can burn blood and vital energy. In other words, it can forcibly cool down the body of King Level being, preventing the consumption of blood and vital energy from becoming too severe!"
"There's such a thing?" Zhang Xiaoyun exclaimed in astonishment. "Wouldn't that make you invincible?"
These top-tier experts can become King Level at King Level, and then use their supernatural powers to bring them down when the time is up. Isn't that going too far?
"There are plenty of shameless secret techniques in this world; it just depends on whether you've mastered them," the priest sneered. "But it's not necessarily a bad thing. This kind of supernatural power consumes a lot of energy. Once that woman saves that Xiao Household brat, she will inevitably be greatly exhausted as well, which is good for the situation going forward."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoyun raised an eyebrow, and the gloom that had been hanging over him from the high priest's sudden death dissipated considerably.
"And what about the woman in red?"
" Kagura possesses ancient secret techniques, and probably also knows some methods for forcibly downgrading one's power. However, such methods are extremely harmful to the body; otherwise, she wouldn't have retreated to the White Tiger Palace immediately. She should be too weak to fight any longer!"
"Then..." Zhang Xiaoyun suddenly understood.
At this moment, the most terrifying fighting force is nothing more than a few people. Chen Qing's fate is unknown, and the most mysterious Kagura was crippled by the human emperor in one fell swoop. The key is that the emperor himself was also crippled and dragged down the strong reinforcements he brought.
Isn't this exactly what they deserve to profit from?
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyun finally understood what it meant for two birds to fight and a third to benefit.
The war priest was clearly very optimistic about the current situation. The armies of several forces were present, and although their military strength had not yet clashed, they were all roughly equal in size, each consisting of tens of thousands of Transcendent troops.
When military strength is roughly equal, the role of top-tier combat power becomes crucial.
Their Ancient Demon Clan already had a slight military advantage, and they also had top-tier experts hidden for many years. Now that the enemy's most capable combat force was basically useless, wasn't that exactly what benefited them?
Zhang Xiaoyun looked at the Ziyue above the magic circle and immediately smiled, "It seems that Her Highness has come to her senses."
At first, he was quite worried about Ziyue's stance.
Even if she knew the truth, her memories hadn't fully returned, and she might not necessarily side with them, so she strongly disagreed with the High Priest entrusting such an important task to that woman. Now it seems she had been overthinking things.
She disrupted the Four Symbols Formation at this crucial moment, gaining such a favorable situation. If the Ancient Demon succeeds today, she will be credited with the greatest achievement!
So, what do we do now?
"No rush. Let's see what they do." The priest glanced around calmly. With such a favorable situation, they should definitely try to take as much as possible, but to take everything, they needed to make careful calculations based on the situation. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if they were attacked by several forces.
The fact that the leaders of all three factions have run into trouble is a good thing in itself, but the downside is that if one side acts too aggressively, the others will inevitably band together. You must figure out how to prevent this from happening before they realize what's going on.

Your Highness.
The Quefeng stepped forward to protect them, its brow furrowed.
He was the one who used the Yin Crow Flame to burn his blood and qi down to below the King Level. This move consumed a great deal of energy. He remembered that the woman had to spend three whole days recovering in the spiritual land of the capital before she could barely catch her breath.
If she saves the human emperor now, she'll be finished. And although the emperor is incredibly powerful, he was clearly badly injured just now. Even if he returns to a level below the King Level, his injuries won't lessen; on the contrary, they'll worsen because his life force was forcibly burned.
It seems that the burden here will fall on my shoulders.

"Mr. Chen, what should we do now?"
The West Sea Army was also dumbfounded by the result; they never expected it to be a lose-lose situation.
"This..." Chen Baifeng hesitated for a moment, not expecting the situation to become so complicated.
His Majesty and the leader of the Northern Lands demons were both severely injured. The emperor's trump card, the woman who suddenly appeared, is now pale and has probably also suffered serious damage from rescuing the emperor.
After going around in circles, the Ancient Demon Clan still holds a significant advantage. Truly, the situation is ever-changing and beyond our control.
Thinking of this, Chen Baifeng said quietly, "Now it all depends on which side the Ancient Demon Clan wants to devour first."
