Chapter 401: Chapter 283: The Witch Clan’s Opportunity
“If you want to fight, then fight; if you want to stop, then stop, East King. Do you think my Demon Clan is here to play with your Immortal Court?”
Donghuang Taiyi said.
Before the East King could reply, Donghuang Taiyi spoke again: “If you want to end it, then it’s easy, let us have our fill of battle first.”
The Donghuang Bell rang again, and the East King and the four Primordial Golden Immortals quickly went on the defensive.
What followed the sound of the bell was the attack of the Immortal Slaying Flying Sabers.
At this moment, the East King’s heart was filled with remorse. If he had known earlier, he would have just conceded defeat and compensated the Demon Clan.
Now, not only does he need to compensate the Demon Clan, but he must also endure getting hit and injured.
Since it’s about having a good fight, obviously Donghuang Taiyi would not hold back, and even though they wouldn’t fall, the injuries they received were indeed real.
How long they would need to recover from these injuries, they did not know.
And this, was only in regard to the East King and the four Primordial Golden Immortals.
For those Daluo Golden Immortals in the Immortal Court, it was a different story.
The impact between the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and the Celestial Heaven Star Formation, with Donghuang Taiyi battling alone against the East King and four Primordial Golden Immortals.
But the Demon Clan had the Quasi-Saint Demon Master Kunpeng sitting in the Celestial Heaven Star Formation, so the Demon Clan’s 363 Star Gods were extremely valiant, not one of them seriously injured.
In comparison, many of the Daluo Golden Immortals from the Immortal Court were injured, with several severely wounded, and even some casualties.
Daluo Golden Immortals, among the highest order of Primordial Beings, fell during the clash between the two great formations.
As the core of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the East King naturally sensed this and was filled with sorrow.
The power of the Immortal Court has not been reduced by the hands of the Witch Clan, but rather by the Demon Clan.
Even more importantly, this battle could have been avoided in the first place, which is why the East King felt regret.
In fact, the East King agreed to Donghuang Taiyi’s challenge not only because of his confidence, but more importantly, because he could not reconcile with it internally.
Now that Emperor Jun did not take action, and of the Demon Clan’s five Quasi-Saints, only two were present, he naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to challenge them.
Under such circumstances, a victory would be a great honor for the Immortal Court.
They could then declare that they had defeated the Demon Clan, after which more Primordial Beings would join the Immortal Court.
Unfortunately, everything did not go as he had hoped.
The dialogue between the East King and Donghuang Taiyi was not concealed, heard by all beings present.
The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans looked at each other and made a silent resolution not to provoke the Demon Clan.
Master Zhenyuan had no opinion on the Demon Clan, but seeing the East King in such a pathetic state gave him an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
He even hoped that Donghuang Taiyi would kill the East King on the spot to avenge his friend Daoist Hong Yun.
Daoist Ming He, hiding deep in the Blood Sea, felt envious when he saw this scene.
Envious of Donghuang Taiyi’s formidable strength.
The battle continued, and the long robes on the East King and the four Primordial Golden Immortals were already tattered, their bodies marked with cuts from the Immortal Slaying Flying Sabers, from which blood flowed.
These were merely surface wounds; the more severe injuries were to their Divine Souls.
Most of the gourds that grew on the Buzhou Mountain gourd vine were focused on the soul, and the Immortal-slaying Gourd was no exception.
As the Immortal Slaying Flying Sabers left marks on their bodies, they were simultaneously slicing their Divine Souls.
With the Donghuang Bell freezing time and space, restricting their movements, the Immortal Slaying Flying Sabers were almost guaranteed to strike effectively as soon as they were launched.
The injuries suffered by the East King and the four Primordial Golden Immortals were more than just this.
Let’s not forget that Donghuang Taiyi himself was also throwing punches, landing them one by one on the bodies of the East King and the four Primordial Golden Immortals.
The Power of the Taiyang accompanied Donghuang Taiyi’s strikes, infiltrating their bodies and damaging their physical forms and Primordial Spirits.
This damage was even greater than that caused by the Immortal Slaying Flying Sabers.
In the eyes of the East King and the four Primordial Golden Immortals, Donghuang Taiyi’s prowess in physical combat was even higher than that of the Ancestor Witches of the Witch Clan.
Fortunately, this was a combined assault on the East King by one Quasi-Saint and four Primordial Golden Immortals.
If it had only been one of them, they might have fallen under Donghuang Taiyi’s attack.
The elders of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans, Master Zhenyuan, and Daoist Ming He also put themselves in the East King’s current position in their minds.
They also realized that they stood no chance against Donghuang Taiyi and even faced the possibility of falling.
The six Saints, upon witnessing this scene, all furrowed their brows except for Nuwa.
They looked at Donghuang Taiyi as though seeing a familiar figure.
After Hong Jun became a Saint, Emperor Jun was regarded as the foremost figure below the Saints, unchallenged and suppressing them all.
Now, while Emperor Jun is still like a Saint, it seems that Donghuang Taiyi has taken Emperor Jun’s place to become the foremost below the Saints once again.
Except for the Demon Clan, no other beings wanted to see this happen, especially those five Saints.
With Emperor Jun in power, the strength of the Demon Clan was already formidable. If they continue to grow stronger, the Six Saints’ rule over heaven would be but an empty phrase.
Donghuang Taiyi swung his fist again, hammering the East King into the Blood Sea and then withdrew his hand, ceasing his attack.
Without any hesitation, the East King flew out from the Blood Sea and did not stay a moment longer.
