Zou Feng, however, had no time to mock the current Sword Saint. He just wanted to know who had beaten Jing Huaisong into such a state.

’If that guy easily took care of the Sword Saint without paying much of a price, then what the hell are the rest of us supposed to do!’

He focused his gaze into the distance. As the Sword Blade Storm dissipated, the situation up ahead gradually became clear.

In the middle of the mountain peak, several top-tier Martial Artists were surrounding and attacking a single person.

The one being besieged was none other than Gongsun Xiang, the man who had been defeated in the battle at the Forbidden City Peak and had nearly died at Su Qingyu’s hands.

And the people teaming up to relentlessly attack him were Su Qingyu, Bai Chen, Gongsun Jinghong, and three First Grade Martial Artists whom Zou Feng didn’t recognize.

There were also many other experts nearby who had been pulled into the Glazed Immortal Palace, but they were all either wounded or dead.

Clearly, these were the Martial Artists who had passed through the Fate Hall before him and reached the peak of the Glazed Immortal Palace.

Jing Huaisong had obviously been one of those attacking Gongsun Xiang just moments ago.

’So, Gongsun Xiang has become the final boss of the Glazed Immortal Palace!?’

Normally, with so many experts ganging up on Gongsun Xiang, it would only take a few breaths’ time to beat the crap out of him.

But as things stood, Gongsun Xiang showed no signs of strain. He seemed to be handling it with ease.

In fact, it looked more like he was toying with these ants.

Zou Feng didn’t have to think hard to guess that after arriving at the Glazed Immortal Palace, Gongsun Xiang’s mental state had collapsed due to his defeat, allowing some Immortal Venerable to take advantage of his weakness and turn him into an Immortal Slave.

However, after becoming an Immortal Slave, this guy was, for some reason, on a completely different level from the others.

He was far stronger than the previous First Grade Immortal Slave, Baili Qiu.

’To be able to handle an assault from so many First Grade Experts with such ease... he’s probably already stepped into a Realm above First Grade...’

’Could it be? Has the Glazed Immortal Palace already chosen Gongsun Xiang? Is this guy the King of Human Gu from this selection?!’

Otherwise, there was no other way to explain how Gongsun Xiang had become so powerful.

"Don’t you understand yet? Within this Glazed Immortal Palace, We are invincible!"

"Su Qingyu, didn’t see this coming, did you? Weren’t you so high and mighty before? Why don’t you try hopping around for Us now?"

While calmly dealing with their attacks, Gongsun Xiang spewed a constant stream of taunts, the very picture of a villain who’d gotten his way.

But Su Qingyu and the others had no time to trade barbs. Each of them had to exert their full strength just to barely withstand the Dragon-shaped Qi Force that Gongsun Xiang casually threw out.

"Quickly... join forces and kill this wretch... otherwise, we’ll all die here..."

Behind them, Jing Huaisong, who was slumped on the ground, forced himself to speak.

Although, in truth, he didn’t hold out much hope.

After all, among Zou Feng’s group, who were likely the last to pass through the Fate Hall, Wang Guquan was the only First Grade Expert. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

As for Wang Guquan’s strength, Jing Huaisong’s past evaluation of him could be summed up in four words: nothing short of a disaster!

Therefore, even with the addition of Wang Guquan and the other True Qi Realm cannon fodder, they most likely still couldn’t do anything to the seemingly unkillable Gongsun Xiang.

That’s right. Although Gongsun Xiang had become drastically stronger, the most terrifying thing about him now was what seemed to be his "Undying Body."

Jing Huaisong had actually just used the Twenty-Third Sword and grievously wounded Gongsun Xiang.

But even though the man was severely injured, he inexplicably returned to his original state just a short while later.

This unbelievable sight left Jing Huaisong completely stunned; he simply couldn’t accept this outcome.

It was during that brief moment of dazed confusion that a clear opening appeared, which Gongsun Xiang exploited to send him flying with a single punch.

Wang Guquan was the first to respond to Jing Huaisong’s near-despairing warning. "Everyone, Gongsun Xiang has become a dog of the Glazed Immortal Palace! We must kill him quickly if we want any chance of escaping!"

With that, he took the lead and charged forward, joining the fray.

Although the people who had just emerged from the Fate Hall quickly got the gist of the situation, only a few Second Grade Martial Artists actually followed Wang Guquan’s charge.

Not a single Third Grade Martial Artist moved.

It wasn’t that they were cowards, but in a battle of this magnitude, what could a Third Grade possibly do?

Not only would they be completely useless, but they would also get in everyone else’s way.

The next moment, before Wang Guquan and his small group could even get close, Gongsun Xiang seemed to notice them, and his assault suddenly grew even more ferocious.

With his intensified offense, the group that was already struggling to hold on suddenly found the pressure even more unbearable.

Among them, Gongsun Jinghong, being the weakest of the attackers due to having just broken through to First Grade, was the first to have an opening exploited by Gongsun Xiang.

With a cry of pain, Gongsun Jinghong followed in Jing Huaisong’s footsteps.

But her treatment was better than Jing Huaisong’s, as Zou Feng leaped up in time to catch her securely.

Seeing Zou Feng, Gongsun Jinghong showed no joy, only a bitter smile. "It’s no use... We can’t beat him..."

"He’s right. In this Glazed Immortal Palace, he’s invincible..."

By the end of her sentence, Gongsun Jinghong’s breath was as faint as a thread, and she looked as if she could die at any moment.

There was nothing Zou Feng could do about it.

His so-called medical skills were limited to detoxification. He was completely helpless when it came to troublesome internal injuries like these.

But on the principle of saving a life if he could, Zou Feng first used his True Qi to protect Gongsun Jinghong’s heart meridian and prevent her from breathing her last, before asking, "Can the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill save you?"

Hearing this, a glimmer of life returned to the eyes of Gongsun Jinghong, who had already given up hope, but it was mixed with considerable doubt.

"That... we can try..."

The Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill was, after all, an "Immortal Technique" that benefited both parties. It might just have a miraculous effect.

"But right now... I’m afraid I can’t take your..."

Zou Feng said, "It’s fine. I’ll control my strength!"

Before his voice had even faded, he carried Gongsun Jinghong and darted behind the statues of the Immortals.

After all, he couldn’t exactly do *that* in front of so many people, especially while they were fighting for their lives.

And so, in less than ten breaths’ time, Zou Feng re-emerged from behind the statues alone.

Just as he expected, the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill had worked. Gongsun Jinghong’s life was saved.

As for why it was so quick...

He was just trying to save her, after all. He couldn’t exactly get lost in the moment.

Looking back at the battlefield, despite the addition of Wang Guquan and the others, the situation was still grim.

But Zou Feng had just noticed a detail.

Before Wang Guquan joined the battle, Gongsun Xiang, sensing that another First Grade was about to enter the fight, had clearly intensified his attacks.

After knocking Gongsun Jinghong away, he had promptly reduced the number of First Grade Martial Artists by one.

This meant that even with Wang Guquan’s participation, the battle situation wasn’t much different than before.

’So, is it possible that Gongsun Xiang actually knows he isn’t invincible? That if one more First Grade expert joins, he’ll start to struggle?’

’If that’s true, then this final boss has a health bar after all...’

With a plan solidifying in his mind, Zou Feng chose not to join the battle. Instead, he quickly checked the List of Gods.

The infuriating result was that Gongsun Xiang was not on the list.

Apparently, this Emperor of Great Yan, this top-tier First Grade Powerhouse, had never once paid any mind to a "Little Poison Cultivator" like him.

’It’s even possible that if this guy wins, he won’t choose to slaughter all the remaining True Qi Realm cultivators, but has some other use for them...’

’But that’s no big deal. I just need to taunt him into noticing me.’

The next moment, Zou Feng leaped high into the air, landing on the head of an Immortal statue.

He took a deep breath and roared, "You dog Emperor! Your Empress was truly delicious! Gyehehehe..."

No normal man could hear something like that and let it slide. Even knowing it was a lie, it was enough to make Gongsun Xiang, in the midst of his battle, spare a moment to glare coldly at Zou Feng.

As the saying goes, a single glance can last an eternity. And with that one glance, Brother Gongsun was on the list.

On the List of Gods, a brilliant light erupted. The brightness of his name was exaggerated beyond anything seen before.

Zou Feng immediately began his practice, right there on top of the Immortal statue, starting to go through a series of motions.

The others nearby had assumed that after provoking Gongsun Xiang, Zou Feng would either continue to disrupt his state of mind with vulgar insults or join the group attack.

So what the hell was he doing, practicing all sorts of moves on the spot!?
