The two halberds were more likely to penetrate Zen even though his body was a powerful spiritual weapon, resulting in Zen being severely wounded or worse.
But, Zen was able to sense the positions of both White Fiend and Black Fiend, which upset the coordinated efforts of the two evils.
Suddenly, Zen's eyes flew open, and he moved a step to the right.
After skillfully dodging the attack, Zen hurled the broken flying knife at the Black Fiend.
Not expecting Zen to have the ability to discover where he was, the Black Fiend used the halberd to defend himself.
The halberd was a top-grade mysterious weapon and when the two of them attacked people together, their power could be equal to that of a spiritual weapon. Black Fiend lifted the one in his hands to parry the incoming attack from Zen's flying knife.
Regrettably, the Black Fiend underestimated the power and strength of the broken flying knife.
As the two weapons collided, the halberd was halved, and the knife continued to fly to its original target, the Black Fiend.
With his head separating from his neck, the Black Fiend's final thoughts were a mass of confusion, 'How did Zen discover me...?
How is that blade so strong...?'
as he lay there, the Black Fiend faded and questioned everything.
"No! Black Fiend!"
Shrouded in mist, the White Fiend hollered in anger at the sight of his partner dying at Zen's hands and vengefully sent the halberd hurtling at Zen.
Having already penetrated the veil of invisibility cloaking the White Fiend, Zen dodged his attack easily.
Realizing he was at a disadvantage, the White Fiend decided to conceal himself amid the mists and waited for the right moment to destroy Zen.
Without mercy, Zen stabbed her utilizing his soul strength.
Filled with excruciating pain, the White Fiend fell over. His neck was severed and he surrendered to the power of the broken flying knife.
The two evils perished in combat!
Shortly afterward, the black and white mists, along with the life vitality that brought them to be, began to disperse slowly.....
In front of the Green Haze group, Martin stood, staring at the vast expanse of mist fearfully.
Fully aware that there was a fierce battle between two evils and Zen beside him, Martin was concerned when all he could see was mist.
Although he was confident in Zen's martial art skills, he didn't think Zen had a chance winning because the gulf between Zen's expertise and his foes' was overwhelming.
However, gradually, the mist dissipated and Zen came into view, standing near the remains of his two opponents.
Emerging the victor was Zen!
Sighing in relief, Martin admired Zen's ingenuity and ability to create consecutive miracles.....
Meanwhile, Martin realized Zen could defeat him with a single blow.....
However, he thought it was reasonable and he could accept the fact.
As soon as he saw the severed heads of the two evils, Liam's shocked panic paralyzed him.
His entire body was racked with violent, uncontrollable shuddering.
Seeing Zen walking in his direction carrying the halberds, Liam fell to the ground.
Fear filled his widened eyes.
"Stop Zen!"
he shouted as his limbs shuddered out of control.
"Why? Aren't you dying to kill me? Dying to doom me? Didn't you say, you wanted to finish me off, here, at the Dragon Fort?" taunted Zen while he glared down at Liam!
"I did say that, but, only because of the orders that Fren gave! Please, Zen, spare me!" begged Liam. Facing Zen now, he lost his bravado.
"I would have spared you because of our shared fellowship, but, you were intent on killing me here, at the Dragon Fort. There's no way for me to justify sparing you!" warned Zen as he pointed his broken flying knife menacingly at Liam.
"I... I am nothing! A beast without human feelings..." Liam whimpered as he groveled, prostrating himself before Zen until blood covered his forehead.
Softening somewhat, Zen's heart was moved by Liam's suffering.
Raised in a scholarly family, Zen was gentle by nature, though he'd come to realize that by killing, all disputes ended.
But, killing still was not a way he liked.
A glimmer of mercy crept into Zen's mind.
In that instant, Liam triggered his golden needle, sending it at Zen.
"Ppffft!"
came the sound as the golden needle whizzed through the air, making its way to Zen at tremendous speed.
Granted, Zen had a body similar to a spiritual weapon, but it didn't stop the golden needle from piercing his skin and lodging firmly in his chest.
"Zen, that was the Strychnos Thorn. It was made by an expert at forging poisonous needles in the Zhu Clan. And now, you're as good as dead!" exclaimed Liam full of exuberance after landing his unexpected blow.
