Just then, another blazing, overwhelming sword aura appeared, directly tearing apart Zhuang Yuanzi's God Transformation Palm.
"How is this possible?"
Zhuang Yuanzi was certain that Lan Hong was already at the end of his strength. There was absolutely no way he could unleash such a powerful sword strike again.
Xiao Yan, meanwhile, dispersed the fire lotus he had been gathering. He had nearly stepped in just now.
After the turbulence stirred up by the sword aura subsided, everyone else finally saw Hong Mao standing in front of Lan Hong.
"Hong Mao?"
Question marks appeared over everyone's heads.
Powerful magical beasts were not uncommon, but most of them took human form. Those that remained entirely in beast form while walking upright were very rare.
"Lan Hong, it has been a long time since we encountered such a formidable opponent, hasn't it?"
"Yes. Back on the Dou Qi Continent, there was no one worthy of making us fight with our full strength. Hong Mao, I'll leave the rest to you."
Hong Mao nodded and pointed the tip of the Changhong Sword at Zhuang Yuanzi.
"Hmph, merely a magical beast at the Earth Supreme realm..."
Before Zhuang Yuanzi could finish speaking, Hong Mao's sword was already less than half a finger's breadth from his throat.
Zhuang Yuanzi hurriedly retreated, but a bloody mark still appeared on his neck.
Hong Mao's sword had been too fast, and Zhuang Yuanzi had also been severely wounded by Lan Hong. Naturally, his reaction was half a beat too slow.
Feeling the faint chill at his neck, Zhuang Yuanzi flew into a rage.
"Damn it, God Transformation Palm!"
"Changhong Pierces the Sun!"
Hong Mao shattered the God Transformation Palm with another strike. With a shift of his feet, his figure vanished once more.
"Space Seal!"
Zhuang Yuanzi mobilized
