Emperor Bahuang and Li Xiangyun were so fierce that they shook Emperor Jianwu and Emperor Huoyang considerably. At this moment, all the assailants besieging Emperor Bahuang and his party were Gold Core Realm powerhouses, each with immense strength. Moreover, there were dozens of them. Had they been the ones under siege in such a manner, they would have been retreating incessantly without any ability to fight back. However, looking at Emperor Bahuang and Li Xiangyun, they were like tigers among wolves, holding an absolute advantage.

In contrast, on Emperor Wenzhi’s side, although he was protected by two personal guards, Emperor Wenzhi lacked protective artifacts above the Half-step Nascent Soul level. Under the siege of many Gold Core Realm cultivators, he could barely maintain a stalemate where advance or retreat was not possible. If this situation continued, Emperor Wenzhi and his party would inevitably meet defeat, with the probability of escaping from Yonghe Palace being extremely slim. Thus, there was no need to worry too much about their side.

The area around Yonghe Palace had always had a No-fly Array in place. It was utterly impossible for Emperor Bahuang and Emperor Wenzhi to escape through the air.

Emperor Jianwu and Emperor Huoyang, with grave concerns, watched the battle unfolding near Emperor Bahuang. Emperor Bahuang and Li Xiangyun were far too ferocious. It seemed both were equipped with protective artifacts above the Half-step Nascent Soul level. Although they had anticipated this situation, actually facing it still felt extremely troublesome.

Qi Tian had previously provided each of them with a Wolf Teeth Knife that was above the Half-step Nascent Soul level, which gave them a certain confidence, but this confidence hinged on the opposition not possessing artifacts of such quality. It was like how they felt when facing Emperor Yonghe, confident they could handle Emperor Wenzhi with ease. However, facing Emperor Bahuang, their confidence waned significantly. After all, the Wolf Teeth Knife was a one-time burst offensive weapon, unable to pose a long-term threat to Emperor Bahuang and Li Xiangyun. If both of them wore protective armor above the Half-step Nascent Soul level, even if they launched the Wolf Teeth Knives at Emperor Bahuang and his ally, at most they would only ruin the armor, posing no substantial threat to Emperor Bahuang and his ally.

Besides, as good as the Wolf Teeth Knives were, they had their limitations, not least of which was the need for a specific environment to utilize them. With the area around Emperor Bahuang and Li Xiangyun surrounded by people, if they were to launch the Wolf Teeth Knives now, they had no confidence that the knives would definitely avoid the Gold Core Realm cultivators besieging Emperor Bahuang. Should the knives hit these soldiers, not only would the knives be wasted, but they would also harm their own troops, a loss far outweighing any gain.

Instinctively, Emperor Jianwu thought to ask Master Qi for help, saying, “Master Qi, what should we do now? Should we concentrate our forces to eliminate Emperor Bahuang and Li Xiangyun first?”

No one understood the situation on the field better than Qi Tian, who knew through the sensing capabilities of the Heavenly Dao Engine exactly how many protective artifacts above the Half-step Nascent Soul level Emperor Bahuang and Li Xiangyun were equipped with. Li Xiangyun wore two artifacts, a weapon for combat and armor for protection. Emperor Bahuang had even more: one weapon for combat and two pieces of armor for protection. Besides, he also had two accessories above the Half-step Nascent Soul level.

Emperor Bahuang, encased in a hard shell like a tortoise with four such high-level artifacts, was impervious to harm. Relying on his sturdy shell for protection, he could attack others with impunity, delivering severe blows without concern for his own safety.

It was no exaggeration to say that if they didn’t find a way to deal with the artifacts above the Half-step Nascent Soul level on Emperor Bahuang, then those Gold Core Realm powerhouses who were sieging Emperor Bahuang would eventually fail miserably, one by one.

Quickly, Master Qi made a wise judgment, saying, “Lord Jianwu, Lord Huoyang, the two of you, take all remaining forces to besiege Emperor Wenzhi and his personal guards. Furthermore, if possible, try to separate Li Xiangyun from Emperor Bahuang so that they can’t support each other. As for Emperor Bahuang, leave him to me.”

Emperor Huoyang was somewhat skeptical of Master Qi’s ability, but Emperor Jianwu had complete faith in what Master Qi said. He took the lead, “Master Qi, let’s do as you said. I will lead my men to besiege Emperor Wenzhi right away, Huoyang, you take your men to try to draw Li Xiangyun away and create conditions for Master Qi.”

After delegating the tasks, Emperor Jianwu didn’t wait for Emperor Huoyang to respond, leading his men towards Emperor Wenzhi. Emperor Huoyang had no choice but to lead his men towards Li Xiangyun, hoping to draw her away from Emperor Bahuang. However, Li Xiangyun was fiercely loyal to Emperor Bahuang, and it wasn’t going to be easy for Emperor Huoyang to draw her away.

Li Xiangyun had extensive combat experience; she and Emperor Bahuang cooperated closely, relying on each other in battle and compensating for each other’s weaknesses, fighting shoulder to shoulder like two sharp unstoppable knives. Both knew that although each was individually strong, the moment they were separated, they could at any time be captured alive, as they were not immortal. Their physical stamina and True Essence were finite, and they couldn’t fight endlessly. Fatigue could strike at any moment, potentially leading to a decline in combat effectiveness, which would be to their disadvantage.
