As Azǐ's words faded, chaos erupted as people began turning on each other in a desperate fight for survival. Instantly, the air grew thick with the stench of blood and the sound of agonizing shrieks. Murong Fu watched the carnage with cold detachment, knowing full well that these wretches of the pugilistic world deserved nothing less than death.
A few factions stood out amidst the slaughter. Qiu Qianren, leader of the Iron Palm Sect, possessed exceptional individual martial prowess, yet lacked the capacity to protect his own subordinates. Ouyang Feng proved the most formidable of all, shielding not only Ouyang Ke but also Wanyan Kang of the Jin Kingdom. The Sun Moon Holy Cult demonstrated the greatest unity; led by Ren Woxing at the vanguard and with Xiang Wentian covering the rear, they suffered the fewest casualties.
Meanwhile, Azǐ watched the spectacle with exhilaration, occasionally letting out piercing giggles. The flying flesh and rivers of blood only fueled her excitement. Unable to stomach the gruesome sight, Ruan Xingzhu had retreated early into the Xiaoyao Realm.
