The word "escape" was simple enough to say, but it wasn't so easy to put into practice!
The Twelve Ancestral Witches feared the Sanqing would escape, so they had already surrounded all of Buzhou Mountain, making it as secure as an iron fortress.
Goumang's verdant vines gleamed like jade and had a horny texture. They shot through the void at incredible speed, arriving in an instant and binding the Sanqing's hands and legs.
As Essence of Wood Qi filled the air, it gathered the laws of resilience between Heaven and Earth, making the vines exceptionally sturdy!
The Sanqing unleashed all their powerful Dao energy, yet still couldn't break free of Goumang's vines!
"Haha! Elder Sister Goumang, what a fine move! Now behold Qiangliang's thunder!"
With the Sanqing trapped, Qiangliang swooped over and challenged them to a contest of thunder.
How could the Sanqing still summon their Dao lightning?
Qiangliang seized the opportunity to avenge himself for being submerged beneath the Sanqing's Dao lightning earlier!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three bolts of lightning, each tens of thousands of zhang long, crashed straight down toward the Sanqing's heads!
Yuanshi and Lingbao Tianzun each brought forth the Yuqing and Shangqing Divine Talismans to block Qiangliang's silver lightning.
A deafening crash rang out, its echo trailing long behind. Both divine talismans shattered on impact. Though the lightning had weakened, half its Dao energy remained, pouring down onto Yuanshi and Lingbao's heads like a heavenly baptism!
The two took the lightning head-on and vomited up immortal essence. Their injuries worsened abruptly.
Meanwhile, the Grand Pure Lord of Morality suddenly sent a nine-tiered divine tower spinning out from the top of his head. It charged fiercely toward the Dao lightning!
The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda!
Rumble!
A thunderous boom reverberated across Buzhou Immortal Mountain.
