Chapter 558: Old Bastard Jiugong! Stirring Up Trouble! Classic of Mountains and Seas Beast: Tiger-Jiao! Witch God’s Message!

Without hesitation, the red-haired, blue-faced giant with the Fangtian Halberd and the black-robed Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong shot up into the sky as two streaks of light.

There were four Yang Spirit experts! Immortal Jin Yu had cultivated for centuries, and his power was unfathomable, but now his aura was completely gone. Didn’t that speak for itself?

“Fellow Daoists, please hold!” Celestial Master Zhao shouted loudly.

Four streaks of light shot into the sky, and the phantom forms of the four divine beasts, Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise, appeared.

This was the Daoist Four Symbols Formation, and it was used to restrain particularly powerful beings. The entire area was instantly shrouded as the red-haired, blue-faced giant swung his Fangtian Halberd.

Crack!

A fissure appeared in the Four Symbols Formation, spreading like a web. The killing techniques were terrifying, but the four Yang Spirit experts quickly ascended and blocked the two intruders.

“I bear you no grudge; let us part ways here,” the red-haired, blue-faced giant said, and prepared to leave on his cloud.

“Fellow Daoist, you came to aid the demon, Jin Yu, didn’t you? Let me test your abilities!” Celestial Master Zhao’s voice was stern.

“Jin Yu? Don’t know him.” The red-haired, blue-faced giant shook his head, confused.

Celestial Master Zhao twitched his mouth slightly.

“Hey!”

“Demon, I could tell at a glance that you are not human, yet you dare speak deceitfully here. Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!”

With his Heaven’s Eye of Buddha, Master Wuse saw that the red-haired, blue-faced giant was actually a beast. With a cold shout, he struck out, and two golden dragons surged toward the giant.

Li Yanchu glanced at Master Wuse, thinking,

Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon? Really showing off, huh.

The red-haired, blue-faced giant wielded his Fangtian Halberd to battle Master Wuse and his twin golden dragons.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The golden dragons were imposing, and the heavy, sharp Fangtian Halberd matched their might in an awe-inspiring clash.

At this time, Li Yanchu’s eyes glowed with spiritual light; using his Spirit Eyes, he discerned the giant’s true form. Its body resembled a fish with a snake-like tail, and its head resembled a mandarin duck.

It was a beast from the

Classic of Mountains and Seas

: the Tiger-Jiao!

He hadn’t expected that the Prince Qing's Mansion rebellion would not only summon demonic heretics from the Kingdom of Qian but also call in so many Yang Spirit masters. It was incredible!

The red-haired, blue-faced giant transformed from a Tiger-Jiao was evenly matched with Master Wuse. Under normal circumstances, this would be a standard third realm Yang Spirit duel.

Intermediate third realm Yang Spirit experts like Immortal Jin Yu were extremely rare in the world. Everyone worked painstakingly to break their shackles and become Yang Spirit experts, why should one reach the intermediate realm before the others? Under the nine-rank system of the Great Xia era, this would be like the difference between third and second rank.

Yang Spirit battles rarely involved four against one, yet they were still at a disadvantage.

Meanwhile, the black-robed Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong found himself in an awkward position. He was a rudimentary third realm Yang Spirit expert.

Normally, whether against Master Baoshu of Great Xiangguo Temple, Celestial Master Zhao of Longhushan, or Vice Minister Xu of the Court of Judicial Review, one-on-one he would be evenly matched. But now three people were targeting him...

Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong’s mouth twitched.

It wasn’t me who shouted earlier, why are three people ganging up on me?

“Demonic outsider, accept your fate!” Master Baoshu shouted coldly.

His most beloved junior had died in Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong’s massacre of the city. Before dying, he transmitted an image using Buddhist powers, showing Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong coldly slaughtering all living beings.

Boom!

Master Baoshu unleashed his primordial spirit projection: an enraged Arhat turned into a streak of light, charging at Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong. Then, his aura instantly surged to its peak. The Arhat projection’s muscles gleamed gold, his entire body shrouded in Buddhist light.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

He clashed with Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong, instantly turning the sky golden.

Vice Minister Xu of the Court of Judicial Review transformed his will into thousands of sharp swords, like a dragon of sword qi, striking Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong violently.

Meanwhile, Celestial Master Zhao formed countless talismans with hand seals, hurling them at Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong. These talismans formed a special formation, capable of weakening Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong’s strength.

Even facing Immortal Jin Yu earlier, they hadn’t exerted themselves to this extent. So indeed... Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong was exceptional at drawing enemies’ attention!

“Do you really think I fear you all...?”

Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong cast his powerful spells while dodging terrifying attacks and even roared, but before finishing, he clutched his eyes with both hands and let out a miserable scream, “Ah!”

His heart sank; it was that young Daoist who had struck! He knew the effect of this artifact all too well; it was the Eye-Piercing Pearl, specifically designed to damage an opponent’s eyes!

For a third realm Yang Spirit, even if the eyes were injured, their powerful primordial spirit perception and projections could compensate.

But this time, Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong had been trying to evade the combined attacks of the three Yang Spirit experts. Struck and blinded, he received a full combo.

Boom!

The protective talisman on his body had already been partially destroyed by Li Yanchu previously. Now, facing the combined assault of the three Yang Spirit experts, it shattered completely.

His entire body was torn and battered, his primordial spirit suffered severe injury as well. Countless gashes opened across his flesh, resembling rows of infant mouths, with blood flowing continuously from each wound, creating a scene of utter misery.

With that, his heart sank. Last time, his paper-clone had been slain by Li Yanchu; this time, he had come in his true body.

In such a situation, Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong decisively unleashed his primordial spirit projection, using a great divine technique to protect his physical body.

Then, a projection of his primordial spirit emerged from within him.

Suddenly, his physical body was sliced cleanly in half at the waist; the cut was perfectly straight, causing blood and entrails to spill everywhere and stain the sky.

Seeing this, Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong was stunned speechless.

The destruction of his body also inflicted damage on his primordial spirit. Both shocked and enraged, he prepared to escape as a fleeing light.

However, Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong was cunning; he headed toward the direction of the red-haired, blue-faced giant...

This giant wielded a Fangtian Halberd, fiercely clashing with Master Wuse, whose golden dragons danced around him with bare chest.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sounds of impact rang continuously. The two were evenly matched, with the odds being roughly fifty-fifty.

In fact, the red-haired, blue-faced giant, relying on the sharpness of his Fangtian Halberd, was subtly gaining the upper hand over Master Wuse. If the battle continued, he might severely injure Master Wuse and seize the chance to escape.

But suddenly, he saw Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong’s primordial spirit projection flying straight toward him.

“Damn it, that Jiugong!” the giant cursed internally.

If Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong joined the fray, he would inevitably pull the other three Yang Spirit experts into the battle as well. At that point, it would be impossible for either of them to escape.

With almost no hesitation, the giant immediately crushed the shamanic talisman in his hand, using his spiritual power to transmit a message to the Witch God.

Witch God, save me! That Jin Yu bastard has been slain, the situation is extremely critical now!

the blue-faced giant cried out urgently in his mind.
