"Die!"
Rolling demonic energy surged outward like a tide, sweeping across the surroundings.
Luohu's sudden appearance left Yuqing Yuanshi no time to react.
He could only watch as a long spear formed from demonic energy—
drove straight through his chest.
In an instant, blood sprayed across the sky.
Yuqing Yuanshi, one of the Three Pure Ones, had been gravely wounded in a single blow.
The sight left Nuwa and Fu Xi stunned.
Neither of them had imagined that another ally would appear at such a moment.
Judging by his strength, he was far more powerful than an ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortal at the peak.
They were certain that among all the Grand Unity Golden Immortals on Buzhou Mountain...
No!
Among all the Grand Unity Golden Immortals in the Purple Sky Palace, not one could stand against him in a one-on-one fight.
In the distance, Bi Fang saw what had happened and widened his eyes in disbelief.
Yuqing Yuanshi, one of the Three Pure Ones, had been defeated by a single strike from Luohu.
He couldn't help asking, "Th-this senior... Who exactly is he?"
After speaking, he gulped and looked at Li Mo.
"Why are you looking at me? I don't know him either. He just said he had a grudge against those people, so he came over." Li Mo casually made up a story to fool him.
Bi Fang nodded. That did seem to be the case.
There was no way Li Mo knew such a powerful expert.
And at that moment!
Demon Ancestor Luohu was brimming with bloodlust.
He didn't strike often, but when he did, every move was vicious and aimed straight at a vital point.
Before Yuqing Yuanshi could react, Luohu attacked again.
High above the nine heavens, demonic energy gathered into a spear that grew as large as a towering pillar.
It came crashing down toward Yuanshi.
"How terrifying! Yuanshi will be killed on the spot if that hits!" Feeling the surging killing intent, Fu Xi said, his face paling.
"Who is he?" Nuwa furrowed her brows.
"Whoever he is, he's helped us." Fu Xi nodded.
Daoist Yuanshi saw the pillar-like spear descend.
His eyes filled with terror.
The killing intent had torn through his chest, and blood sprayed everywhere.
At the next moment,
a Taiji Diagram suddenly appeared beneath his feet.
Boundless magical power surged outward from him in every direction.
The spear of demonic energy was stopped in its tracks, unable to advance another inch.
"It's the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram!" Nuwa cried.
"Big Brother! Big Brother came to save me!" Daoist Yuanshi exclaimed in delight.
Immediately afterward, a sword beam tore through the sky, stretching across the horizon and spanning an immeasurable distance.
Carrying an endless sword intent, it shot straight toward Luohu's true form.
"Fellow Daoist! Tongtian Daoist and Laozi are here. Retreat!"
Fu Xi hurriedly sent a voice transmission.
Luohu frowned. The spear of demonic energy vanished, dispersing into rolling waves that he absorbed.
Then he turned into the God Slaying Gourd and shot toward another battlefield.
His goal hadn't been to kill Yuanshi.
Getting entangled with the Three Pure Ones here would be unwise.
"He's heading over there. Let's follow!"
Fu Xi and Nuwa exchanged a glance, then hurried after him.
"Runt! Where do you think you're going?"
Daoist Yuanshi flew into a rage. With Tongtian Daoist and Laozi backing him, he felt invincible again.
The Pangu Banner fired another Heaven-Opening Blade, which shot straight at the black gourd.
With a deafening boom, the God Slaying Gourd shuddered once, then fell silent.
Its trajectory hadn't even been altered.
Everyone was stunned by the sight.
"Second Brother, don't attack again. This expert is incredibly powerful and difficult to deal with. With Fu Xi and Nuwa as well, we have no chance of winning." Laozi stepped in to stop him.
"Ahhh! Do I really have to give up this opportunity?" Daoist Yuanshi's eyes reddened. He was furious at losing this chance, but there was nothing he could do.
If that fellow hadn't appeared, taking a spiritual treasure would have been no problem.
"He's too strong. There's nothing we can do. Di Jun and Tai Yi are probably about to break free. We should leave," Tongtian Daoist said calmly.
The scene shifted.
Surrounded by six mighty beings, Di Jun and the other three wielded various spiritual treasures to shield themselves.
All four of them were deathly pale, with not a trace of color in their faces. Their situation was dire.
They could only grit their teeth and struggle to hold on. Zhen Yuanzi had already used up many of his Ginseng Fruits.
Di Jun and Tai Yi's arms were already covered in bloody mist.
"Zhen Yuanzi, Hong Yun! Why don't you two surrender already? Better yet, hand over your spiritual treasures now and kill Di Jun and Tai Yi. If you do, I'll spare your lives," Dong Wang Gong said with a cold laugh.
"Indeed. I believe these spiritual treasures are destined for us. And you, Daoist Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun, are destined to join us as well. Why not become protectors under my command?" Daoist Jieyin said.
"Forget it. Di Jun and his brother have shown me kindness. I would never do such a thing." Zhen Yuanzi flatly refused.
Di Jun felt deeply grateful to hear that.
"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! Your turtle shell has reached its limit. I still have several Grand Unity Golden Immortals at my command. They're not here to stand around!" As he spoke,
Dong Wang Gong shot Xi Wang Mu a look.
"Attack!"
Xi Wang Mu, the Yaochi Golden Mother, waved her jade hand.
Behind her, more than a dozen Grand Unity Golden Immortals immediately formed a great formation.
At its center stood an expert at the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, serving as the formation's core. The strength of everyone in the formation rose dramatically.
In an instant, the combined aura of the dozen-plus Grand Unity Golden Immortals surged to the level of a late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
"Fellow Daoists, attack together!"
At Dong Wang Gong's words,
Jieyin and the others unleashed their signature Divine Abilities.
Their combined force crashed down like mountains of gold collapsing and pillars of jade toppling.
"Damn it! We can't hold on!"
Even so, Di Jun and Tai Yi continued fighting desperately to defend themselves.
The formation made up of the dozen-plus Grand Unity Golden Immortals was the final straw.
With a thunderous crash,
the Hetu Luoshu was shattered!
The Earth Book's protective layer of earth was torn apart.
The Chaos Bell was sent flying far away, shrinking into a little bell before smashing into Tai Yi.
Tai Yi spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Hahaha! It's mine now!"
At the sight, the grim-faced Minghe struck first.
He attacked Di Jun directly.
Blood qi swept wildly, and a waterfall of blood surged toward them all.
But just then,
in the distant sky,
a streak of black light shot toward them at great speed.
The black light came to an abrupt stop. From within the God Slaying Gourd, its aura tightly concealed,
rolling demonic energy poured out in full force.
Hidden inside the God Slaying Gourd, Luohu let out a voice that made their scalps tingle.
"Hahaha! Blood qi! Such tremendous blood qi!"
"Come to me!"
In an instant,
a massive vortex formed in front of the God Slaying Gourd.
It dragged all the blood qi from the river of blood into itself and absorbed every last drop.
Before Minghe could react, amid the surging demonic energy,
a towering claw shot straight toward him.
"What is that?"
Minghe's eyes nearly bulged from their sockets.
He felt the bone-chilling killing intent. After a long battle, he had already used up nearly all his strength, and his body wouldn't move.
He could only be seized.
Then a huge mouth opened wide.
It swallowed Minghe whole.
Almost everyone stared in disbelief.
They had never seen such a vicious way of fighting.
Minghe stood with his hands behind his back, demonic energy roiling around him and obscuring his face as he stood atop the God Slaying Gourd.
He let out a cold laugh. "This essence blood tastes a little foul. Not very appetizing."
