Eastern King Gong was already seething. At Taiyi's words, his rage boiled over.
He snarled, "Eastern Emperor Taiyi, you've gone too far! Today, I'll fight you, you feathered beast!"
Taiyi and Dijun were furious too. They were the Demon Emperors of the Demon Race. If they failed to kill Eastern King Gong today, how could they lead their people?
Without another word, Dijun and Taiyi attacked. At their signal, everyone behind them struck at once.
Dijun immediately brought out the River Chart and Luo Writing and set up the River Luo Formation to prevent Eastern King Gong from escaping.
The others attacked with all their strength.
But Eastern King Gong had been born of primordial yang energy. He was a mid-stage Quasi-Saint, and with the Dragon-Headed Staff bestowed on him by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, few in Hong Huang could match him.
He swung the Dragon-Headed Staff, sending streams of blazing yang energy at the immortals. They unleashed their strongest abilities and fought him amid a storm of flashing blades above Penglai.
But Eastern King Gong was only one man. Against so many cultivators who were no weaker than he was, he gradually began to falter.
Then Dijun called to Kunpeng and the others, "Taiyi and I can handle things here. Don't waste time. Go help our forces attack Penglai!"
They immediately broke away from the fight and rushed toward Penglai.
Hearing Dijun's order, Eastern King Gong realized that Dijun meant to wipe him out completely and leave him no chance to recover.
He threatened Dijun. "So that's your plan! You mean to destroy me and have come up with this pathetic excuse. The Dao Ancestor himself named me leader of the male immortals. Aren't you afraid he'll hold you accountable?"
Dijun could hardly believe Eastern King Gong was foolish enough
