Accompanying Nezha's words was a melodious toll of a bell. Back then, it was the decisive battle between the Witches and Demons when Kunpeng first fled, causing the Demon Court army to lose morale and collapse entirely. The Demon Emperor Fuxi died in battle, and Di Jun and Taiyi, in desperation, perished together with the Ancestor Witches.
At that time, Nuwa had already become a Saint, and her only brother was involved in the battle. She would not care about the grand trend of heaven and earth, but on her way, she was blocked by the combined forces of other Saints. Otherwise, even if she arrived at the Witch Clan's head, it would have been a sure loss.
Later, to calm Nuwa's anger, the other Five Saints allowed Fuxi to transfer to the Human Clan to become the Heavenly Emperor. But death is death, which is one of the reasons why Nuwa has been reclusive in Nuwa Palace, not befriending other Saints.
Moreover, Nezha himself had benefited greatly from the legacy of the Golden Crow Clan, and today, by cutting off his last escape route with the Chaos Bell, he considered it avenging the unspoken Demon Clan relatives and friends!
The time and space around Kunpeng froze instantly with the bell's chime, and another hand, long prepared, wielded the God Slaying Spear, imbued with black, golden, and white Dao Qi, thrusting directly into the Roc's forehead.
In the instant Nezha struck the Peng Bird, the temporal and spatial freeze shattered. The spear tip embedded half into the Peng Bird's head, and the mixed Great Dao power suddenly erupted, beginning to destroy the Peng Bird's brain.
But the Peng Bird was truly colossal; the damage Nezha inflicted wasn't deadly. He didn't expect to kill Kunpeng in one blow either. Kunpeng's head, severely damaged and brain infested with demonic energy, stalled obviously for a moment. By then, Nezha had already put away the Chaos Bell and gripped the spear with both hands, starting to exert force.
The Power Dao operated to the extreme, causing the space around Nezha to tremble constantly. From afar, Nezha's figure appeared blurred, while beneath him, the Peng Bird felt an overwhelming force pressing down from above. With his massive body's strength, he couldn't resist even slightly.
Compared to the Peng Bird's body, Nezha's figure seemed like a mere speck from afar, yet this speck had unmatched power!
The Peng Bird above the Nine Heavens, accompanied by sonic booms and mournful wails, plummeted again, crashing heavily onto the land formed by Zhen Yuanzi. His terrifying mass, plus the acceleration Nezha provided, made this fall something even his constitution couldn't quickly recover from.
Zhen Yuanzi below wasn't aiming for massive damage; he just wanted Kunpeng dead. The constantly crumbling land continued to be repaired under his mana, cutting off Kunpeng's escape possibilities.
Jin Ling and Yunxiao weren't idle either. A black sword light flickered, and while the Peng Bird was dazed, the sword light swept by, directly severing the intact left wing, with massive sprays of blood making it resemble hell.
Kong Xuan, of kind heart, couldn't bear to see this, so he spouted a mouthful of Nanming Lihuo at the Peng Bird's severed wing. The bleeding wound was instantly cauterized, also cutting off any chance of regeneration, but at least the bleeding stopped.
Nezha was still exerting force, pushing the God Slaying Spear deeper into Kunpeng's brain. Suddenly, the weight beneath lightened; the giant bird had transformed a hundred zhang away into a Daoist. Kunpeng knew escape was impossible now; maintaining beast form any longer would only make him a target for these people.
At this moment, Kunpeng appeared in a miserable state, with one blood-dripping wing completely charred—Kong Xuan's 'hemostatic' handiwork. His hairstyle had turned into the same style as a kappa's, with a hole in the middle because his head's center was corroded by the Silent Annihilation Energy from Nezha's God Slaying Spear, leaving it bald.
Nezha, Jin Ling, Yunxiao, and Kong Xuan surrounded him again, giving Kunpeng no chance to catch his breath. Zhen Yuanzi and Zhao Gongming continued to block his retreat from above and below.
Kunpeng, in human form, wielded a staff in one hand and a print in the other, straining to fend off the attacks from the four, but he couldn't resist at all. All four were battle-hardened immortals, eminent in skill within their peer group, while Kunpeng, rich in experience and cunning, found himself outmatched, four hands to one.
Yunxiao and Jin Ling launched the main assault, Nezha provided assistance, and Kong Xuan alternated between fighting and wielding the Five-Colored Divine Light to disarm him.
Suffering, unbearable suffering, Kunpeng had never fought such a frustrating battle. His proud speed was rendered useless, his colossal life force could only delay death under the God Slaying Spear and Three Immortal Swords, and among the four opponents, he couldn't inflict any effective damage on Nezha, whose cultivation was the weakest.
Add to that the prior extensive expenditure of his mana; as time passed, his injuries worsened, and his combat power waned. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ n0velfire.net
"Bastards, bastards! If you want this old man dead, don't expect to escape unscathed!"
Kunpeng's mana began to surge, his body swelling irregularly, clearly intending to self-destruct. With Kunpeng's size, if he truly exploded, he might well blow another big hole in the Primordial world.
Nezha had prepared for this, retrieving a Five-Colored Stone, tossing it while shouting, "Go, Gaiouka!"
In a flash of five-colored light appeared a blue whale's divine soul—no, not a whale, but the spirit of Yu Jiang. The moment the whale emerged, it locked onto Kunpeng, whose previously blank fish eyes were suddenly filled with fury, and with a splash, it rushed into Kunpeng's body.
The rapid fluctuations of mana that marked Kunpeng's burgeoning aura suddenly turned chaotic. Kunpeng's face was filled with disbelief, but he couldn't utter a word. Previously injured by Nezha's God Slaying Spear, followed by the fierce battle with the four, his divine soul was now invaded by Yu Jiang, leaving him temporarily losing control of his body.
Though Yu Jiang had lost his body and divine position, he was one of the most ancient deities, and considering Kunpeng's body, he was a major stakeholder. At this moment, his desperate counteraction posed a significant problem for Kunpeng.
