On the battlefield, the battle between Zhunti and East King Duke grew increasingly fierce. Relying on the providence of the Head of Male Immortals, East King Duke's cultivation was still slightly above Zhunti's. Protected by that providence, the Dragon Head Cane displayed even greater might, while Zhunti's Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree could not brush it aside. After a hundred exchanges, East King Duke had already smashed a large bump onto Zhunti's head.
Seeing this, Jieyin could no longer stand by. He hurriedly said, "Junior brother, don't panic. Your senior brother is here." As he spoke, he condensed streams of Dharmic power and lashed them toward East King Duke. Seeing this, the Grand Unity Golden Immortals under East King Duke hurriedly joined the fight. Amid the melee, waves of Dharmic power crashed directly into the Wu Clan's camp. This really stirred up trouble...
Dijiang immediately led the Twelve Ancestral Witches charging over. "You bastards! That gourd earlier—we of the Wu Clan have no primordial spirits, so it was useless to us, and we did not bother with you. But now you're causing trouble again. Who made that move just now? Step forward and take your beating from this Ancestral Witch."
East King Duke chuckled. "Dijiang, I am the Head of Male Immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor. You are also among the male immortals. It would be one thing if you refused to heed my command, but you even dare to hold me accountable?"
At those words, Dijiang chuckled. "Oh, you are the Head of Male Immortals, appointed by the Dao Ancestor. I ought to give the Dao Ancestor some face, so I am a male immortal and cannot beat you. Is that what you mean?"
East King Duke nodded. "Exactly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Jiuyin, the Wu Clan's strategist, burst into laughter. "Big Brother, I have an idea. He is a male immortal, so you cannot beat him. Let Sister Xuanming and Sister Houtu beat him instead."
Hearing this, Dijiang nodded. "That makes sense. We'll do that." With that, he directly used Space Law to immobilize East King Duke. "Xuanming, don't you always complain about not having a suitable punching bag? Now you have one. East King Duke is a Mid Quasi-Saint. You and Little Sister Houtu can play with him."
Xuanming shook her head. "Big Brother, have you got it wrong? What is there to hit about a target that cannot move? I don't want that. Let him go. Little Sister and I will have no problem taking him down."
Dijiang nodded and released the restraint on East King Duke. Then Xuanming and Houtu walked toward him, a glimmer of excitement in both their eyes. Xuanming swung her long whip, which resembled a living giant dragon as it carved afterimages through the air and gave off piercing whistles. Houtu silently gathered the power of the earth. The ground around her began to tremble as streams of earthen-yellow energy converged in her hands.
East King Duke looked at Xuanming and Houtu approaching him without fear. They are both Quasi-Saints. With the providence of the Head of Male Immortals protecting me, I may not necessarily lose to them... With that thought, his aura suddenly surged, and the Dragon Head Cane slowly began to emit dragon roars.
Battle erupted at once. Xuanming's long whip struck first, lunging straight at East King Duke's face like a venomous snake. East King Duke swung the Dragon Head Cane, skillfully deflecting the whip's attack while fiercely striking one end of the cane toward Xuanming's wrist. Xuanming nimbly retreated and avoided the blow, but her whip drew an arc through the air and lashed at East King Duke's back once more.
At that moment, Houtu unleashed her power of the earth. The ground suddenly split apart, and pillars of earth shot up from below like sharp swords, aimed directly at East King Duke. East King Duke's expression changed slightly. He had not expected Houtu's attack to be so swift and fierce. He hurriedly circulated his Dharmic power and formed a protective barrier to withstand the impact of the earth pillars.
However, Xuanming and Houtu's coordination went far beyond that. While East King Duke was occupied dealing with the earth pillars, Xuanming's whip came lashing in again. This time, it targeted East King Duke's legs. Although East King Duke reacted quickly, the whip still grazed him, leaving behind a shallow bloody mark.
East King Duke roared in fury. His Dragon Head Cane suddenly erupted with tremendous power, temporarily forcing back Xuanming and Houtu's attacks. His figure left an afterimage where he stood, while his true body had already appeared in midair. Anger flickered in his eyes. Clearly, Xuanming and Houtu's attacks had touched his bottom line.
Zhu Jiuyin poked Dijiang. "Big Brother, the two sisters seem rather concerned with their image. They have not used their Ancestral Witch True Forms. What if they cannot win later?"
Dijiang chuckled. "What a joke... Mount Buzhou is Wu Clan territory. How could we possibly lose to some East King Duke?"
As Dijiang spoke, Xuanming and Houtu's attacks became even more ferocious. Xuanming gave a sharp cry, and twelve Xuanming spikes slowly emerged behind her, hurtling toward East King Duke. Houtu followed close behind. Seeing this, East King Duke gathered his Dharmic power and formed a barrier before him...
However, Houtu and Xuanming possessed the bodies of Ancestral Witches, and their combat strength was formidable. After one violent assault, East King Duke's defenses were completely shattered. His body was sent flying, and he crashed heavily to the ground.
Houtu and Xuanming did not hold back. They rushed over and stomped him mercilessly... The watching great powers' eyelids twitched at the sight. Ancestor Minghe muttered to himself, "Heh, only East King Duke could endure such a savage stomping. If I were stomped like that, I would be too embarrassed to leave the house afterward."
