When the thunder descended, Di Jiang and the other Ancestral Witch initially didn't take it seriously at all.

What happened to the Innate Supreme Treasure?

Our Ancestral Witch were fighting against Innate Supreme Treasure.

Not to mention the Dutian Divine Fiend Great Array outside, the several layers of Defensive Spirit Treasure stacked on his body are more than enough to block attacks from Innate Supreme Treasure.

Initially, Di Jiang and the others were not worried at all about Luo Qing's attack that caught up with them.

But they soon learned what a painful lesson was.

When the Dutian Divine Fiend Great Array gathers the power of the Ancestral Witch' blood and qi, it appears as Pangu Phantom.

When the swaying object blocked the Thunder Torrent, Di Jiang and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Witch-Slaying Sword, hidden within the Thunder Torrent, seized the opportunity when the Pangu Phantom swayed and weakened.

The sword light flashed, and as easily as cutting tofu, it beheaded the weakened Pangu Phantom, which was formed from blood and qi.

The Ancestral Witch's blood and qi, which were originally unparalleled in defense, revealed a vulnerable and defenseless side when facing the Witch-Slaying Sword.

The Pangu Phantom, which could withstand the thunderous bombardment of the Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd, could not withstand the attack of the Witch-Slaying Sword.

The Pangu Phantom was beheaded by a single sword strike, and the condensed power of his blood and qi instantly collapsed and dissipated.

The Dutian Divine Fiend Great Array, which had weakened to its limit, collapsed immediately due to this.

The Dutian Divine Fiend Great Array has been broken.

The Ancestral Witch, including Di Jiang, were immediately struck by the backlash from the collapse of the great formation.

One by one, they coughed up bright red blood, their breathing became disordered, and their vital energy briefly went out of control and surged violently.

The collapse of the Dutian Divine Fiend Great Array was inexplicable, Zhu Jiuyin, with his keen senses, immediately noticed something was wrong.

A Dutian Divine Fiend Great Array and slashed toward them at lightning speed.

Recalling Luo Qing's previous method of breaking the witchcraft, Zhu Jiuyin instantly understood why the Dutian Divine Fiend Great Array had been broken.

Noticing the incredibly fast sword, it headed straight for Zhurong.

At that instant, affected by the backlash of the great formation, the blood and qi of the Ancestral Witch became chaotic.

The innate Defensive Spirit Treasure under their control were naturally also affected.

The seemingly impenetrable defenses revealed a momentary weakness.

Zhu Jiuyin's face turned pale, and he immediately warned, "Be careful!"

Before the words had even finished, and before the Zhu Rong Ancestral Witch could recover from the sound of Zhu Jiuyin's voice,

After the Dutian Divine Fiend Great Array was broken, the divine thunder of the Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd enveloped all ten Ancestral Witch.

In the instant the divine lightning flashed, it briefly blinded Zhurong, severing his eyes and his spiritual perception.

Taking advantage of that fleeting moment, the Witch-Slaying Sword slid past the Fire Zhurong and the Wood Witch Ju Mang in an instant.

"Ah!" "Ah!"

Two bloodcurdling screams rang out almost simultaneously from the Thunder Sea.

Upon hearing the mournful cries of Zhurong and Ju Mang, the Ancestral Witch, including Di Jiang, trembled in their hearts.

The disordered Qi and blood returned to normal, and the Ancestral Witch, including Di Jiang, regained control of their Qi and blood.

Immediately rebuild the Defensive Spirit Treasure, layer upon layer.

The eight Ancestral Witch who had not been attacked quickly protected Zhurong and Ju Mang in the center.

After repelling the sea of thunder, and seeing the appearances of Zhurong and Ju Mang clearly, the eight Ancestral Witch, including Di Jiang, felt a chill in their hearts.

Both Zhurong and Ju Mang were cut in half at the waist.

The cut surface of the wound was unusually smooth, as smooth as water.

It was clear at a glance that their powerful Ancestral Witch Body were of no use against the incoming sharp weapon.

Being cut in half at the waist is one thing, but another.

The Ancestral Witch were Quasi-Sage, possessing extraordinary and abundant vital energy.

Even if only a single drop of blood remains, it can be restored in an instant.

However, the wound inflicted by the Witch-Slaying Sword was permeated with a bewitching, crimson aura, distinct from blood and qi.

It is constantly eroding the physical bodies, primordial spirits, and souls of Zhurong and Ju Mang.

To prevent the Ancestral Witch Body, which had been broken in two, from regenerating.

Under the sword strike, Zhurong and Ju Mang's physical bodies were alright; only a portion of their vital energy was destroyed.

Even the Witch-Slaying Sword could hardly destroy the powerful blood and flesh of Quasi-Sage with a single strike.

However, Zhurong and Ju Mang, whose primordial spirits were weaker than those of orthodox immortals and gods, suffered severe damage.

This is also why Zhurong and Ju Mang cried out in such a pitiful manner.

The primordial spirit and soul weakened, and the control over the physical body also declined to its extreme.

It will be difficult to recover in a short period of time.

After the eight Ancestral Witch, including Di Jiang and Tian Wu, helped Zhurong and Ju Mang dispel the lingering aura of the Witch-Slaying Sword,...

The two then regained their physical bodies, though their faces were deathly pale.

The injury to his primordial spirit and soul would be difficult to heal in the short term.

Seeing this, Di Jiang and the others' faces all turned ashen and grim.

Zhu Jiuyin's eyes blazed with fury as he gritted his teeth and said, "It's Luo Qing's method that restrains our Ancestral Witch."

"Luo Qing, using some unknown means, forged a Fierce Sword that could subdue us."

The tragic fates of Da Zhen and Zhurong were all caused by this sword.

The Ancestral Witch gazed at the Thunder Sea, as black as ink, that surrounded them beyond the Defensive Spirit Treasure.

The sea of thunder blocked their sight and spiritual detection.

No one knows where the Fierce Sword that subdued them is hiding in the sea of the Thunder Sea.

Like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, it will deliver a fatal blow the moment they show any sign of weakness.

Thinking of this, the Ancestral Witch were all filled with dread and trembling with fear.

Severely injured and weakened, Ju Mang said with resentment:

"Luo Qing must know about the demon race's plan to destroy our Witch Clan. Perhaps he is the one who leaked our information to the demon race."

That's why they were determined to prevent us from returning to Witch God Mountain to provide assistance.

This is an attempt to kill us!

Upon hearing this, the equally weakened Zhurong immediately flew into a rage:

"How dare Luo Qing obstruct our rescue of Witch God Mountain?"

We'd rather fight Luo Qing to the death. If he wants us dead, we won't let him get away with it.

"At worst, I'll die with him."

The Witch Clan is in dire straits, and Di Jiang has become unusually stern in his speech.

"Shut up!"

"Even our Twelve Dutian Divine Fiend Great Array couldn't defeat him, so what do you have to offer in order to perish together with him?"

Did they fight to the death?

Are we just going to watch Houtu, Xuan Ming, and millions of members of the Witch Clan be slaughtered by the demon race on Witch God Mountain?

After being thoroughly scolded by Di Jiang, Zhurong's face turned red, and she was speechless.

Di Jiang calmed himself down, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "Retreat, continue retreating!"

"As long as we are careful and cautious, and come together, we will be protected by multiple Divine Treasure."

"By blocking the attacks of the Innate Supreme Treasure, that Fierce Sword that restrains us cannot break through the Defensive Spirit Treasure, and thus cannot harm us."

As he spoke, Di Jiang looked up at the dark Thunder Sea, as if he could see Luo Qing through the Thunder Sea.

He continued, "Na Luo Qing is of orthodox divine origin, and there is a natural conflict between him and the demon race."

"As long as we return to the vicinity of Buzhou Mountain, I don't believe that Luo Qing will still join forces with the demon race to deal with us."

Then there's the ability to restrain their Ancestral Witch Body and suppress their qi and blood power.

As long as you use Defensive Spirit Treasure, you can keep it outside your body and prevent it from getting close.

That would hardly lead to anything significant.

Upon hearing Di Jiang's words, the Ancestral Witch immediately returned to the Primordial Great Land at breakneck speed.

Luo Qing, trailing behind the Ancestral Witch, saw Ancestral Witch retreat without a fight and a strange glint flashed in his eyes.

It seems the Ancestral Witch weren't as reckless and brainless as later legends portrayed them!

Isn't that the most appropriate course of action at that moment?

Unite with the demon race to destroy the witches? Then sit back and watch the demon race dominate the Primordial Wilderness.

Luo Qing would never do something so foolish.

However, Luo Qing was still very keen to take the opportunity to weaken the Witch Clan.

Luo Qing smiled as he watched the Ancestral Witch disappear into the distance.

Holding the Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd and gripping the Witch-Slaying Sword, he calmly gave chase once more.
