Dijiang: Leave Them to You
Dijiang and the other man simply stood there quietly, their murderous aura repelling the oppressive power of the four saints.
Laozi frowned slightly; they hadn't expected the Witch Clan to interfere at this crucial moment.
Jieyin that the situation was not good, he secretly transmitted his voice to Zhunti: "Junior sister, the Witch Clan has a strong physical body. Now, Dijiang and Zhujiuyin's auras are perfectly integrated and they have attained the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal."
Although we are saints, they do not respect the Way of Heaven and do not cultivate their primordial spirit. It would be unwise to fight them head-on.
With the Witch-Demon War imminent, our Western Religion is too weak to be drawn in."
Zhunti understood Zhunti and bowed to Dijiang, saying, "Ancestor Witch Dijiang and I have come here with absolutely no intention of being enemies with the Witch Clan."
"We have some karmic ties with Fellow Daoist Hongyun that need to be settled. We only wish to borrow the Primordial Violet Qi her for a look. We hope that Fellow Daoist will grant us this favor. Our entire Western Religion will be forever grateful for the kindness of the Witch Clan."
These words sound grand and righteous, but they completely distort the truth.
"Shameless!"
Before Dijiang could speak, Hong Yun, who was being protected behind him, was already trembling with rage. She pointed at Zhunti and cursed, "Zhunti! Jieyin! You two shameless scoundrels!"
If it weren't for your two silver tongues and flattery, conspiring with Laozi and Yuanshi to kill me, how could I have ended up in this state! And now you dare to talk about borrowing? It's clearly robbery!"
Hong Yun's roar was like a resounding slap across the faces of the four men.
Dijiang's face instantly turned cold. Ignoring Zhunti, he turned his gaze to Laozi and said, "Taiqing Laozi, the four of you have joined forces to bully my Witch Clan's distinguished guest."
Very well, you're all very well. Today, none of you will leave!
Before he finished speaking, Dijiang's figure vanished from the spot in an instant, and the Space Law were instantly unleashed.
The next moment, she appeared in front of Laozi and threw a punch, causing the space to collapse layer by layer.
At the same time, Zhujiuyin closed his eyes slightly, and the flow of time around him instantly became strange.
Yuanshi felt that his thoughts and actions were a beat slower, but Zhujiuyin raised his hand and waved, and a domineering force swept over.
"Presumptuous!"
Yuanshi roared in anger, Pangu Banner was activated with all its might, clashing fiercely with the Time Law.
Laozi instantly summoned the Heaven and Earth Profound Mysterious Yellow Pagoda. The protective Mystic Light hanging from the pagoda trembled violently under Dijiang's fist, emitting a hum that seemed unable to bear the weight.
Jieyin, Zhunti dared not be negligent. They activated the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and the Merit Golden Lotus simultaneously, attacking Dijiang and the other two.
Although it was two against four, the outcome of the battle was completely beyond their expectations.
Dijiang controlled space, his figure flickering unpredictably.
Zhujiuyin controlled time, sometimes accelerating it and sometimes slowing it down, causing the four's attacks to repeatedly create openings.
The physical bodies of the Ancestral Witch were already among the most powerful magical treasures in the Primordial World. Furthermore, the two of them had already reached the realm of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, and every move they made exuded the divine might of the Great Dao.
As the battle continued, the four became increasingly alarmed.
They discovered that even when the four of them joined forces, they could only manage a draw against Dijiang Zhujiuyin.
Continuing the fight, even if we win, will inevitably be a Pyrrhic victory, which will be extremely detrimental to the upcoming Lich War.
"Fellow Daoist, wait!"
Laozi withdrew, looked at Dijiang, and said in a deep voice, "This matter was due to our Buzhou of consideration. How about we call it quits?"
We are willing to swear an oath to Heaven and not pursue the matter of Fellow Daoist Hongyun any further."
"Give up?"
Dijiang sneered, "You've bullied my Witch Clan, and now you think you can just call it quits? You're too Laozi!"
Having said that, Dijiang looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, "Sisters, come quickly to my aid!"
Upon hearing this, Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti's expressions changed Zhunti.
One Dijiang and one Zhujiuyin are already so troublesome; if Twelve Ancestral Witches were to arrive... the consequences are unimaginable.
"Dijiang, please calm down! Please calm down!"
The Jieyin smiled obsequiously and quickly stepped forward, apologizing profusely, "It's all a misunderstanding, really a misunderstanding!"
We were blind to your greatness and did not know that Fellow Daoist Hongyun was a distinguished guest of the Witch Clan. We have offended you greatly and hope that Ancestor Witch Dijiang will forgive us!
Dijiang completely ignored him, and soon after, the earth began to tremble violently.
Jumang arrived with boundless vitality, while Zhurong rode on endless divine fire.
Subsequently, Qiangliang, Xizi, Tianwu, Shebishi, Xuanming, Houtu stepped out of the void one after another.
Twelve figures surrounded the four of them.
Upon seeing this, Laozi felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy, and his face turned as pale as paper.
Dijiang glanced around at his sisters and immediately ordered, "Set up the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Formation!"
Upon hearing this, the shamans immediately formed a formation. In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color, the sun and moon lost their light, and the malevolent energy was stirred up and frantically converged on this place.
A terrifying, towering phantom slowly coalesced in the center of the Array Formations.
His muscles were bulging, and he held a giant axe phantom, also formed from malevolent energy.
It is the Pangu Phantom!
"No!"
Yuanshi cried out in surprise, and the Pangu Banner in her hand trembled slightly under the aura of the Pangu Phantom.
Laozi's Taiji Diagram trembled and dimmed.
The Pangu Phantom slowly raised the phantom of the Sky-Opening Divine Axe in its hand, and without any unnecessary movements, gently cleaved the four saints.
"Puff!"
Laozi was struck as if by lightning, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Yuanshi Pangu Banner let out a mournful cry and flew back, its own chest caved in and its breath weakened.
The golden protective light Jieyin and Zhunti shattered like paper, and the two were knocked to the ground.
With a single strike, the Four Saints were severely injured!
The four men's eyes were filled with fear and horror.
When the Twelve Ancestral Witches were at the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, they set up the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Formation, whose power was comparable to that of a sage.
Currently, among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Dijiang Zhujiuyin have already attained the Dao of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
Moreover, the other ten Ancestral Witch were basically all at the peak of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm, with Houtu even reaching the Half-step Hunyuan Grand Unity.
With the current strength of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, setting up the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Formation would allow them to fight against late-stage Saints, and they would be virtually invincible below the Grand Unity Great Luo.
(PS: The realm of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal /Sage and above has 9 minor realms in each major realm. Levels 1-3 are the early stage, levels 4-6 are the middle stage, and levels 7-9 are the late stage.)
Furthermore, the "half-step" setting only means getting infinitely close to the next realm.
For example, a half-step Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal is still Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, only infinitely close to the Grand Unity Great Luo.
Half-step setting: Possessing one-tenth of the strength of the next realm.
"Fellow Daoists of the Witch Clan, please spare us! We know we were wrong!"
Jieyin was the first to react, and despite his injuries, he begged for mercy in a disheveled state.
"We are willing to compensate for all losses, please, Ancestral Witch, show mercy!"
Laozi sighed softly and quickly spoke.
There was no other way; if you couldn't beat them, you could only beg for mercy.
Dijiang snorted coldly, waved his hand, and the Pangu Phantom slowly dissipated, dispelling the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Formation.
Dijiang walked up to Hong Yun, patted her on the shoulder, and pointed to the four people. "Fellow Daoist Hongyun, these four are yours to deal with."
"Thank you, Dijiang." Hong Yun clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.
Dijiang smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.
Immediately, Hong Yun coldly looked at Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin and Zhunti two...
