The arrival of Zhao Hao and the others did not affect the result of Sikong Qing's and Hou Xiang's battle.
Sikong Qing's advantage had already accumulated to the point of being difficult to reverse; as long as she herself did not make a silly mistake out of complacency, she would inevitably be the victor.
The passion of this cold girl towards the martial dao far surpassed the imaginations of many; currently focused on the battle, she naturally wouldn't be complacent and underestimate the enemy.
Thus, Hou Xiang was already destined for defeat.
When the sword in Sikong Qing's hand knocked away his spiritual artifact that was a short axe, Hou Xiang stood where he was, his face a burning red.
The other Infinite Boundless Mountain disciples were also completely without face. Ji Hanru and Hou Xiang were elites of their clan's younger generation, yet had both been defeated at the hands of Broad Creed Mountain's disciples.
