Guangchengzi raised the Seal of Heaven-Turning and, with a resounding bang, struck him squarely across the back, beating him until samadhi fire spewed from all seven orifices and his bones went limp, his sinews numb.
Then he shook the Soul-Falling Bell. Caught off guard while battling Puxian, Spirit-Tusk Immortal was jolted into such a state that his soul and spirit were thrown into chaos.
Seeing this, Puxian raised the Long Rainbow Rope and bound him fast.
Without the Immortal-Slaying Sword to aid her, and with the Sun-Moon Pearl's weakness exposed, Holy Mother Turtle Spirit was no match for Daoist Randeng.
Daoist Randeng struck Holy Mother Turtle Spirit sprawling with the Cosmos Ruler and was just about to use the now-free Three Treasures Jade Ruyi to strike her again.
When, from the yellow mist permeating the formation, a cluster of starlight flew out and swept away Holy Mother Turtle Spirit, Cloud Immortal, and Golden Light Immortal.
Within the Immortal-Slaughtering Gate, Chijingzi was just about to use a Talisman Seal to collect the Immortal-Slaughtering Sword hanging above the gate when Holy Mother Golden Spirit spotted him.
"Chijingzi, how dare you commit such a furtive deed right beneath my nose!" Holy Mother Golden Spirit raised the Flying Gold Sword and slashed at him.
Seeing this, Daoist Lu Ya shouted, "Dao brother, do not panic! I am your opponent."
With that, he held up a gourd. Within it was a thread of fine radiance, more than three zhang high. Above it appeared a thing seven cun long, with brows and eyes; two beams of white light shot from its eyes, enveloping Holy Mother Golden Spirit.
Holy Mother Golden Spirit pointed with one hand and raised the Four Symbols Tower above her head. The concentrated light was blocked by the tower and could not descend.
