"Back then, I let you escape. Now you two finally dare to return. Have you found yourselves some backing?"
Luo Hou stood proudly with his sword, looking down at Jieyin and Zhunti as they approached. Demonic energy churned around him, and a terrifying, sinister aura spread through the air.
"Immeasurable Longevity Buddha!" Jieyin and Zhunti chanted the Buddha's name and stepped forward together. Great Light radiated from them, and the majestic, sacred essence of the Buddha spread outward. "Luo Hou, you defy the Heavenly Number and act recklessly. Today, you are destined to be brought to justice."
"Oh? Heaven's will? Are they talking about you?" Luo Hou's eyes shifted, his pupils radiating darkness and menace as he studied He Heng with a trace of amusement.
He Heng stared back at him.
"Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, I never wanted to kill you. After all, we once fought alongside each other against Chang. But you should never have wavered in your allegiance. Shen Ni must die. If you choose to join him, you make yourself an enemy of the entire Primordial World." He Heng spoke regretfully, then said coldly, "Given the situation, I ask you to accept your fate."
"If you want my life, you'll have to prove you're capable of taking it!" Luo Hou's voice turned cold. His sword flashed like lightning, and black sword energy, carrying an unparalleled aura of destruction and Killing Intent, slashed toward He Heng.
He Heng neither dodged nor retreated. He faced the attack head-on, a dense Dao aura surging from him and forming Chaos Primordial. It condensed into a ball of light and crashed forward.
Boom!
The earth-shaking collision erupted with a thunderous roar, shaking Xumi Mountain and the entire Western Land. Every living being within its reach felt a terror and dread unlike anything
