银钩脱手以后，也聚然枉涨。然而“噌”的一声轻响。与那月牙相遇，就从中断为两截。掉落下地。
After the silver hook was released, it suddenly swelled. However, with a "zhen" sound, it met the crescent moon and split into two halves upon contact, falling to the ground.
gōng zhuāng nǚ xiū de liǎn sè yī xià zi cāng bái wú xuè 。 yǐ shǒu fǔ a xiōng ， dài méi jǐn jǐn zhòu zài yì qǐ ，
宫装女修的脸色一下子苍白无血。以手抚a胸，黛眉紧紧皱在一起，
The face of the woman in court robes turned pale as she clutched her chest, her brows tightly furrowed in pain.
biǎo qíng tòng kǔ yǐ jí 。
表情痛苦以及。
This was her life-bound treasure. She had used many rare materials during its creation, yet it was so easily destroyed.
cǐ nǎi tā de běn mìng bǎo wù 。 liàn zhì de shí hòu yě yòng le xǔ duō zhēn xī cái liào 。 jū rán rú cǐ qīng yì jiù bèi huǐ diào 。
此乃她的本命宝物。炼制的时候也用了许多珍稀材料。居然如此轻易就被毁掉。
In a panic, she tried to dodge but a sudden pain struck her head as if hit by a heavy hammer. She let out a painful groan.
cǐ nǚ dà jīng zhī xià xiǎng duǒ 。 rán ér nǎo hǎi zhōng háo méi zhēng zhào de yī téng 。 jiù fǎng fú bèi rén yòng dà chuí měng jī le yī xià tou é ， rěn bú zhù tòng kǔ de shēn yín
此女大惊之下想躲。然而脑海中毫没征兆的一疼。就仿佛被人用大锤猛击了一下头额，忍不住痛苦的呻吟
Meanwhile, the crescent moon had already sliced close enough to cleave her from her brow to navel in two halves.
qǐ lái le 。 ér zhè yī dān gē 。 nà yuè yá yǐ pī dào jìn chù ， shì tā de hù tǐ líng guāng rú wú wù 。 jiāng cì nǚ cóng méi xīn zhì xiǎo fù ， yìng shēng shēng de pōu wèi liǎng bàn le 。
起来了。而这一耽搁。那月牙已劈到近处，视她的护体灵光如无物。将次女从眉心至小腹，硬生生的剖为两半了。
Blood splattered everywhere, an unspeakable sight.
xiān xuè mǎn tiān ， cǎn bù rěn dǔ 。
鲜血满天，惨不忍睹。
A baby no bigger than a village emerged from above her head, fearful and slightly confused as if it couldn't accept its body being destroyed so easily.
wéi yǒu yī cūn dà de yīng ér cóng tóu dǐng dùn chū ， wèi jù zhī zhōng ， yǐn yǐn hái yǒu yī xià máng rán zhī sè ， sì hū shàng bù néng jiē shòu zì jǐ de qū tǐ jiù rú cǐ qīng yì bèi huǐ le 。
唯有一村大的婴儿从头顶遁出，畏惧之中，隐隐还有一下茫然之色，似乎尚不能接受自己的躯体就如此轻易被毁了。
This delay allowed the shadowy figure to extend its tail to over a hundred feet, wrapping around her. The creature's face revealed satisfaction as it sized up the others.
ér zhè shāo yī dān gē ， hēi yǐng yī shǎn ， táo wù de wěi ba jìng rán guǐ yì de shēn cháng dào le bǎi zhàng fāng yuán ， dào lái le tā de miàn qián 。
而这稍一耽搁，黑影一闪，梼杌的尾巴竟然诡异的伸长到了百丈方圆，到来了她的面前。
The Peacock Immortal was not mentioned. Upon recognizing Zhu Maogu, his face turned deathly pale. The Four Spirits and Four Fiends were enemies, but now they all abandoned their fight in fear of the upper realm fiend.
yuán yīng dà hài ， zhè cái jīng kǒng de xǐng wù guò lái ， máng hún shēn líng guāng shǎn shuò ， xiǎng yào shǐ yòng shùn yí shén tōng ， rán ér méi yòng ， tā de shēn yǐng yī zhèn mó hú ，
元婴大骇，这才经恐的醒悟过来，忙浑身灵光闪烁，想要使用瞬移神通，然而没用，她的身影一阵模糊，
Miao You Immortal's expression remained calm; her weaker body emitted a fierce aura that made even the other powerful immortals hesitate. They turned to self-preservation instead.
kě jū rán bìng méi yǒu cóng yuán dì dùn chū 。
可居然并没有从原地遁出。
The ghost emperor's gaze swept over them before landing on the peacock's face.
shùn yí shī qù le xiào guǒ 。
瞬移失去了效果。
"Good, good, you were able to read The Records of Heaven and Earth, weren't you? Peacock, this clan is related to the phoenixes. In the upper realm, that bird injured me and my descendants, so I'll take revenge now. Since you have a phoenix bloodline, it's just bad luck for you. Don't worry, I will consume both your body and soul."
zhè zěn me kě néng ？
这怎么可能？
Before her words were finished, Zhu Maogu transformed into a bloody whirlwind, chasing the peacock.
yuán yīng hài dé hún fēi pò sàn le 。 mò fēi zhè shàng jiè xiōng shòu 。 jū rán hái jù yǒu kōng jiān shén tōng ， néng gòu jiāng shùn yí pò chú ， kě méi yǒu shí jiān gěi tā xì xì sī suǒ ，
元婴骇得魂飞魄散了。莫非这上界凶兽。居然还具有空间神通，能够将瞬移破除，可没有时间给她细细思索，
Seeing this, the bald man was overjoyed and quickly summoned his golden-threaded ring blade, merging with it to form a startling streak of light that flew forward. The ghost emperor raised an eyebrow; he turned into a dark cloud following behind the bald man.
táo wù de wěi ba yǐ jiāng tā láo láo chán rù fù zhōng ， tiǎn le tiǎn shé tou ， xiōng hěn de miàn róng shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， suí hòu yòng bù shàn de mù guāng dǎ liàng qǐ lìng wài jǐ gè rén le 。
梼杌的尾巴以将她牢牢缠入腹中，舔了舔舌头，凶狠的面容上露出满意之色，随后用不善的目光打量起另外几个人了。
"Where do you think you're going? Have you obtained permission from your lord?"
kǒng què xiān zi zàn qiě bù shuō 。 zài rèn chū táo wù de yī kè tā de liǎn sè jiù cāng bái dào le jí chù ， sì líng sì xiōng nǎi shì duì tóu 。 jiàn le miàn zǒng yào dà dǎ chū shǒu ， ér tā shēn shàng ， piān piān jù yǒu yī xiē fèng huáng de xuè tǒng ，
孔雀仙子暂且不说。在认出梼杌的一刻他的脸色就苍白到了极处，四灵四凶乃是对头。见了面总要大打出手，而她身上，偏偏具有一些凤凰的血统，
Zhu Maogu's hoarse voice echoed as the bloody whirlwind suddenly abandoned the peacock, chasing after the other two instead.
suī rán xī bó 。 dàn zǒng shì yǒu yī xiē guān xì de 。 gé gé wén zì
虽然稀薄。但总是有一些关系的。格格文字
The bald man's face changed. The black cloud was as expected; a blood mist spewed out, enveloping his figure. A piercing sound followed, and the bald man found himself surrounded by it.
huàn jù huà shuō ， duì fāng jué bú huì jiāng zì jǐ fàng guò 。
换句话说，对方绝不会将自己放过。
On the ghost emperor's face, an expression of extreme rage appeared as he waved his sleeves, releasing a swarm of ghostly mists that formed into a long black claw, reaching for the bald man.
nán dào jīn tiān zhēn de yào yǔn luò ？
难道今天真的要陨落？
"Ghost Emperor Zhu, what are you doing?"
yǎn qián de táo wù suī rán jǐn jǐn shì shàng jiè xiōng shòu de yī lǚ fēn hún ， dàn yě jué fēi huà xíng zhōng qī de zì jǐ kě yǐ duì fù 。
眼前的梼杌虽然仅仅是上界凶兽的一缕分魂，但也绝非化形中期的自己可以对付。
The bald man was both shocked and angry. He didn't understand why the Ghost Emperor acted so strangely despite being infuriated to the point of spitting blood, he had no choice but to channel his power, emitting a fierce fire snake that attacked the ghost claw.
guāng tóu dà hàn de biǎo qíng yě nán kàn dào le jí chù ， tā zuò mèng yě bù céng xiǎng shì qíng huì chū xiàn zhè yàng de wū lóng ， shī mèi jiāng xiōng shòu hún pò fàng chū lái ， fǎn ér chéng le
光头大汉的表情也难看到了及处，他做梦也不曾想事情会出现这样的乌龙，师妹将凶兽魂魄放出来，反而成了
However, this slowed him down, allowing the bloody whirlwind to approach. The bald man's face turned pale as he finally understood; Zhu Maogu was using him as a pawn to temporarily hold off the fiend.
duì fāng de guǒ fù zhī wù ， tā sǐ le bù dǎ jǐn ， zì jǐ gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
对方的果腹之物，她死了不打紧，自己该怎么办呢？
Damn it!
hào tiān guǐ dì xuán fú zài bàn kōng 。 miǎn qiǎng hái kě yǐ shuō shì cóng róng ， rán ér yě bù guò qiáng zì zhèn dìng bà le ， zhè lǎo jiā huǒ ， què shí fù hēi jiǎo huá 。 kě shí lì xiāng chà tài dà ， yě wú fǎ kě xiǎng a ！
昊天鬼帝悬浮在半空。勉强还可以说是从容，然而也不过强自镇定罢了，这老家伙，确实腹黑狡猾。可实力相差太大，也无法可想啊！
The bald man's eyes bulged in fury, wishing he could tear the Ghost Emperor apart. But with his fate hanging by a thread, he had no choice but to do as requested or face certain death.
xīn zhōng àn hèn nà gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ zuò jiǎn zì fù ， méi nòng qīng jìn jiù mào rán jiāng xiōng hún fàng chū tā sǐ le yě jiù sǐ le 。 què jiāng zì jǐ yě jì rù zhòng kě pà de yán xiǎn diǎn jīn
心中暗恨那宫装女子作茧自缚，没弄清禁就贸然将凶魂放出她死了也就死了。却将自己也技入众可怕的岩险点巾
Seeing the bloody whirlwind approaching, the bald man couldn't escape. However, witnessing his sister's plight, he didn't dare attack; instead, he raised his hand and the strange turtle shell transformed into a black curtain, protecting him.
xīn zhōng jīng jù ， què bù gǎn wàng dòng 。 gān pà yī yǒu dòng zuò jiù jiāng chūn fǔ de zhù yì lì xī ３“ dào zì jǐ zhè biān lái le 。
心中惊惧，却不敢妄动。甘怕一有动作就将椿抚的注意力吸３“到自己这边来了。
Taking advantage of this moment, the ghost emperor's dark cloud became extremely thin, like a beam of light, flying forward.
miào yōu xiān zi de biǎo qíng yě lán bù duō sì rén zhī jīn yǐ tā xiū wèi zuì ruò gòng fāng bǐng jī shēn shàng suǒ sàn chū lái lì qì 。 jiù yǐ ràng tā zhī shēn zhàn lì yuán běn shì bù liǎng lì de jǐ wèi yuán yīng qī gāo shǒu ， yīn wèi zhè shàng jiè xiōng hún de chū xiàn ， dōu fàng qì le dǎ dòu ， zhuǎn ér rén rén zì wēi qǐ lái le 。
妙幽仙子的表情也兰不多四人之巾以她修为最弱共芳摒机身上所散出来戾气。就已让她只身战栗原本势不两立的几位元婴期高手，因为这上界凶魂的出现，都放弃了打斗，转而人人自危起来了。
This old man was incredibly cunning, but as one of the Four Fiends, he wasn't easily fooled. A large ball of light flew out from the whirlwind, chasing Zhu Maogu into the clouds.
dǎo háng de mù guāng zài tā men shēn shàng yī yī sǎo tǎo zuì hòu què luò cún kǒng què de liǎn shàng le 。
祷杭的目光在她们身上一一扫讨最后却落存孔雀的脸上了。
Facing the black curtain, Zhu Maogu seemed to ignore it, allowing the bloody whirlwind to envelop him completely.
“ bù cuò ， bù cuò ， méi bào dào yī chū lái jī néng kàn bèi tiān dì lù qiě ， kǒng què duì ba ， chēng men zhè yī zú yě kě yǐ shuō shì fèng huáng de qì qīn le cún bo jiè de shí hòu běn jiān céng jīng bèi nà zéi niǎo shāng guò ， tūn shí tā de hòu bèi zhèng hǎo bào yī jiàn zhī chóu chēng jì rán yǒu fèng huáng de xuè tǒng ， jiù yuàn zì jǐ mìng bù hǎo le ， fàng xīn ， wǒ huì jiāng chēng lián qū tǐ dài yuán shén quán bù tūn xià de 。”
“不错，不错，没报到一出来稽能看贝天地录且，孔雀对吧，称们这一族也可以说是凤凰的迄亲了存卜界的时候本煎曾经被那贼鸟伤过，吞食她的后辈正好报一箭之仇称既然有凤凰的血统，就怨自己命不好了，放心，我会将称连躯体带元神全部吞下的。”
The sky turned blood red as the scene unfolded. Within a short time, piercing screams filled the air.
huà yīn wèi luò ， chūn fǔ yǐ huà wèi le yī dào xuè shēng xuán bèi jiā tiān dì zhī gǎn ， xiàng zhe kǒng què dì juǎn guò qù le 。 gé gé wén zì
话音未落，椿抚已化为了一道血声旋贝夹天地之感，像着孔雀帝卷过去了。格格文字
Despite their vast difference in strength, an advanced middle-stage Immortal couldn't last half a cup of tea under the fiend's power, which was too unbelievable.
jī huì shāo zòng jí shì 。 jiàn kǒng què xī jūn le duì fāng de zhù yì shī tóu dà hàn xīn zhōng dà xǐ 。 máng jiāng jīn sī dà huán dāo jì qǐ ， rén dāo hé yī huà wèi yī shěng jīng hóng xiàng qián fāng fēi ， lüè ér qù 。 guǐ dì tiāo le tiāo méi 。 zhè jiā huo fǎn yìng yě kuài quē ér lìng rén mí mèi de fāng ， tā shēn xíng yī zhuǎn ， huà wèi yī duǒ yīn yún 。 jū rán shì gēn zài yì tóu dà hàn de hòu miàn 。
机会稍纵即逝。见孔雀吸君了对方的注意失头大汉心中大喜。忙将金丝大环刀祭起，人刀合一化为一省惊虹像前方飞，掠而去。鬼帝挑了挑眉。这家伙反应也快缺而令人弥妹的芳，他身形一转，化为一朵阴云。居然是跟在异头大汉的后面。
The bloody whirlwind exploded with a "puff," and the fiend's body reformed. Its large mouth moved as if it was still chewing, displaying extreme satisfaction on its face.
“ dāng ， nǐ men liǎng gè xiǎng qù nǎ lǐ ， kě zēng zhēng dé běn zūn de tóng tóng ”
“当，你们两个想去哪里，可曾征得本尊的同童”
With narrowed eyes, it seemed extremely pleased.
chūn jī shā yǎ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr lǐ suí hòu nà xuè shēng xuán fēng yī zhuǎn jū rán qì kǒng què yú bù gù ， fǎn ér xiàng liǎng wài liǎng gè jiā huo zhuī qù le 。
椿机沙哑的声音传入耳里随后那血声旋风一转居然弃孔雀于不顾，反而像两外两个家伙追去了。
"Since you two didn't escape, that's smart. If you cooperate, I won't make things too difficult for you." Zhu Maogu's aura intensified as he turned to the others and said, "Hmph, escaping is useless; with my phoenix bloodline, you can't let me go."
guāng tóu dà hàn liǎn sè dà biàn 。 ér hēi yún zhī zhōng hàn tiān què shén me rú cháng shì píng zǎo jiù zài yù liào zhī zhōng yī yàng ， zhǐ jiàn tā zhāng kāi kǒu lái yī tuán rú mù bān de xuè wù pēn chū xùn piāo jiāng tā de shēn xíng bāo guǒ ， jiān ruì de pò kōng zhī shēng chū ， yīn yù hòu jǐng chē sù zhāo dào le jǐng tóu dà hàn de
光头大汉脸色大变。而黑云之中旱天却神么如常似平早就在预料之中一样，只见他张开口来一团如幕般的血雾喷出迅漂将他的身形包裹，尖锐的破空之声出，音欲后井车肃招到了井头大汉的
"How so? Are you really not going to resist?" Zhu Maogu's ugly face showed a surprised smile. Even his laughter was repulsive.
fāng 。
方。
"Is that what you think?" The peacock smiled as well: "Although my phoenix blood is very thin, I am still a celestial bird and the king of all birds in this realm. Will I bow down to you?"
suí hòu hào tiān liǎn shàng lì zhǔ yī xiǎn 。 biǎo qíng xuán dé wàn fēn zhēng níng gǎn jiā xiù páo yī fú ， dà piàn de guǐ wù fēng yōng ér chū ， huà wèi le yī zhàng xǔ zhǎng de zhí hēi zhǎo hěn hěn de xiàng zhe guāng tóu dà hàn zhuā 。
随后昊天脸上厉煮一显。表情玄得万分狰狞赶夹袖袍一拂，大片的鬼雾蜂拥而出，化为了一丈许长的直黑爪狠狠的向着光头大汉抓。
Before he could finish, the peacock closed her eyes and extended her delicate fingers like white lotus stems, forming strange hand seals that seemed to dance.
“ hào tiān ， nǐ ，”
“昊天，你，”
Wings appeared behind her as she used an ancient ritual, chanting incomprehensible words with a primitive and savage tone.
guāng tóu dà hàn jīng nù jiāo jí 。 bù míng bái hào tiān huáng dì de jǔ dòng wèi hé jīn rú cǐ bù kě sī yì jǐn guǎn bèi qì dé tù xiě ， tā yě zhǐ hǎo shuāng wǔ qiā jué xīn mò huǒ pēn chū ， huà wèi tiáo zhēng níng huǒ shé ， xiàng guǐ zhǎo yǎng wèi dú le
光头大汉惊怒交集。不明白昊天煌帝的举动为何今如此不可思议尽管被气得吐血，他也只好双午掐诀心蓦火喷出，化为条狰狞火蛇，像鬼爪仰卫毒了
This secret technique was familiar; the peacock had used it before, but this time, it was just a resemblance. She couldn't use the power of Great Vairocana again within a century or risk dying.
kě rú cǐ yī lái ， dòng zuò zì rán bù yóu de yī huǎn ， chūn fǔ suǒ huà de xuè jiè yóu fēng pū dào jìn qián 。 guāng tóu dà hàn liǎn sè huī bái ， dào zhè yī fèi tā zhōng gàn míng bēi ， duì fāng zhè me zuò yuán lái xǐ mù jiāng zì jǐ dàng zuò qì zú ， tì tā zàn shí jiāng xiōng hún dǎng zhù 。
可如此一来，动作自然不由得一缓，椿抚所化的血届游风扑到近前。光头大汉脸色灰白，到这一废他终干明卑，对方这么做原来喜穆将自己当做弃卒，替他暂时将凶魂挡住。
She was using another secret technique that would increase her strength in the short term without relying on Great Vairocana's power.
kě wù ！
可恶！
However, she knew she would be severely injured afterward.
guāng tóu dà hàn mù zì yù liè ， hèn bù dé jiāng hào tiān guǐ dì gān wèi lóu le kě shì sì chē cǐ tā hái bù dé bù àn duì fāng xī wàng de qù zuò ， fǒu zé zì jǐ mǎ shàng jiù yào yǔn luò 。
光头大汉目眦欲裂，恨不得将昊天鬼帝甘味楼了可事巳车此他还不得不按对方希望的去做，否则自己马上就要陨落。
In this life-or-death situation, there was no time for hesitation.
yǎn kàn xuè sè xuán fēng bī jìn ， guāng tóu dà hàn duǒ wú kě duǒ ， rán ér mù dǔ le shī mèi de cǎn zhuàng tā jìng rán bù gǎn xiàng duì fāng jìn gōng ， yī yáng shǒu 。 nà gǔ guài de wū shěn chuàn yòu fēi lüè ér chū pū wèi yī piàn qī hēi guāng mù ， jiāng tā de shēn yǐng hù zhù 。
眼看血色旋风逼近，光头大汉躲无可躲，然而目睹了师妹的惨状他竟然不敢像对方进攻，一扬手。那古怪的乌审串又飞掠而出仆为一片漆黑光幕，将他的身影护住。
Despite his cruelty and viciousness, Zhu Maogu was also extremely arrogant. His true form was formidable in the upper realm; he wouldn't stoop to attacking from below.
ér chèn zhe zhè ge ， kòng xì ， wú tiān guǐ dì suǒ huà de yīn yún què biàn dé xiān xì yǐ jí rú yī shù xī ， xiá bān ， xiàng qián fēi lüè ér qù 。
而趁着这个，空隙，吴天鬼帝所化的阴云却变得纤细以极如一束夕，霞般，向前飞掠而去。
Seeing the peacock use her secret technique, the fiend showed no fear but a curious expression as it waited quietly nearby.
zhè lǎo jiā huǒ xiàn hài tóng mén ， yīn xiǎn dào le jí chù ， kě bàng háng shēn wèi shàng jiè sì xiōng zhī yī ， suī rán jǐn jǐn shì fēn hún jiàng lín ， dàn yòu qǐ shì nà me hǎo hù nòng de zhǐ bèi cóng nà yóu fēng zhī jīn fēi shè chū yī tóu lú dà xiǎo de guāng qiú ， zhí zhuī hào tiān guǐ dì ， yī qián yī hòu mò rù le tiān gōng de yún céng lǐ 。
这老家伙陷害同门，阴险到了极处，可棒杭身为上界四凶之一，虽然仅仅是分魂降临，但又岂是那么好糊弄的只贝从那游风之巾飞射出一头颅大小的光球，直追昊天鬼帝，一前一后没入了天功的云层里。
Miao You Immortal was ignored. She hesitated for a moment before deciding not to run away. Staying near the peacock seemed safer.
miàn duì nà gǔ guài guī ké suǒ huà de qī hēi guāng mù ， chūn háng qǐ shì ruò kàng dǔ yóu fēng ruò quē ér luò 。 kuáng wàng zhī jí de jiāng tā bāo guǒ 。
面对那古怪龟壳所化的漆黑光幕，椿杭启视若亢睹游风若缺而落。狂妄之极的将他包裹。
Moreover, with her husband dead and alone, she had nothing to lose. Even if she returned alive, she couldn't expect mercy from Grandmaster Ancestral Deity. It would be better to take a chance and fight together with the peacock; this experience might convince the peacock to support her in the future.
fēng yún biàn sè ， zhěng jīn tiān kōng dōu bèi yìng dé yī piàn xuè hóng ， jǐn jǐn tǎo le shù duàn de gōng fu ， jiù yǒu qī lì de cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
风云变色，整今天空都被映得一片血红，仅仅讨了数段的功夫，就有凄厉的惨叫声传入耳朵。
Her delicate hands moved continuously as if dancing or performing an ancient ritual, while she chanted incomprehensible words. A multicolored aura enveloped her body.
jǐn guǎn qiáng ruò xuán shū ， kě táng táng yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě cún nà bàng jī de xiōng wēi zhī xià jìng rán chēng bù liǎo bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， zhè yě wèi miǎn tài bù kě sī yì le 。
尽管强弱悬殊，可堂堂元婴中期的修仙者存那棒机的凶威之下竟然撑不了半盏茶的功夫，这也未免太不可思议了。
However, Zhu Maogu turned his head. He saw a streak of light flying towards him, seemingly sensing his presence but continuing to approach.
suí hòu ， nà xuán fēng “ pū ” de yī shēng bào liè kāi lái ， xiōng hún lì yǔ chóng xīn níng jié chū le lín jī de shēn tǐ ， zhǐ jiàn xī dà zuǐ yī zhāng yī hé ， hái zài bù tíng de jué dòng shàn liǎn bo léi chū mǎn yì zhī jí de shén sè 。
随后，那旋风“噗”的一声爆裂开来，凶魂戾与重新凝结出了磷机的身体，只见牺大嘴一张一合，还在不停的嚼动善脸卜雷出满意之极的神色。
What creature dared to be so bold?
After the silver hook was released, it suddenly swelled. However, with a "zhen" sound, it met the crescent moon and split into two halves upon contact, falling to the ground.
The face of the woman in court robes turned pale as she clutched her chest, her brows tightly furrowed in pain.
This was her life-bound treasure. She had used many rare materials during its creation, yet it was so easily destroyed.
In a panic, she tried to dodge but a sudden pain struck her head as if hit by a heavy hammer. She let out a painful groan.
Meanwhile, the crescent moon had already sliced close enough to cleave her from her brow to navel in two halves.
Blood splattered everywhere, an unspeakable sight.
A baby no bigger than a village emerged from above her head, fearful and slightly confused as if it couldn't accept its body being destroyed so easily.
This delay allowed the shadowy figure to extend its tail to over a hundred feet, wrapping around her. The creature's face revealed satisfaction as it sized up the others.
The Peacock Immortal was not mentioned. Upon recognizing Zhu Maogu, his face turned deathly pale. The Four Spirits and Four Fiends were enemies, but now they all abandoned their fight in fear of the upper realm fiend.

Don't worry, I will consume both your body and soul."
Before her words were finished, Zhu Maogu transformed into a bloody whirlwind, chasing the peacock.
Seeing this, the bald man was overjoyed and quickly summoned his golden-threaded ring blade, merging with it to form a startling streak of light that flew forward. The ghost emperor raised an eyebrow; he turned into a dark cloud following behind the bald man.

"Ghost Emperor Zhu, what are you doing?"
The bald man was both shocked and angry. He didn't understand why the Ghost Emperor acted so strangely despite being infuriated to the point of spitting blood, he had no choice but to channel his power, emitting a fierce fire snake that attacked the ghost claw.
However, this slowed him down, allowing the bloody whirlwind to approach. The bald man's face turned pale as he finally understood; Zhu Maogu was using him as a pawn to temporarily hold off the fiend.

The bloody whirlwind exploded with a "puff," and the fiend's body reformed. Its large mouth moved as if it was still chewing, displaying extreme satisfaction on its face.
With narrowed eyes, it seemed extremely pleased.
"Since you two didn't escape, that's smart. If you cooperate, I won't make things too difficult for you." Zhu Maogu's aura intensified as he turned to the others and said, "Hmph, escaping is useless; with my phoenix bloodline, you can't let me go."
"How so? Are you really not going to resist?" Zhu Maogu's ugly face showed a surprised smile. Even his laughter was repulsive.
"Is that what you think?" The peacock smiled as well: "Although my phoenix blood is very thin, I am still a celestial bird and the king of all birds in this realm. Will I bow down to you?"
Before he could finish, the peacock closed her eyes and extended her delicate fingers like white lotus stems, forming strange hand seals that seemed to dance.
Wings appeared behind her as she used an ancient ritual, chanting incomprehensible words with a primitive and savage tone.
This secret technique was familiar; the peacock had used it before, but this time, it was just a resemblance. She couldn't use the power of Great Vairocana again within a century or risk dying.
She was using another secret technique that would increase her strength in the short term without relying on Great Vairocana's power.
However, she knew she would be severely injured afterward.
In this life-or-death situation, there was no time for hesitation.
Despite his cruelty and viciousness, Zhu Maogu was also extremely arrogant. His true form was formidable in the upper realm; he wouldn't stoop to attacking from below.
Seeing the peacock use her secret technique, the fiend showed no fear but a curious expression as it waited quietly nearby.
Miao You Immortal was ignored. She hesitated for a moment before deciding not to run away. Staying near the peacock seemed safer.
Moreover, with her husband dead and alone, she had nothing to lose. Even if she returned alive, she couldn't expect mercy from Grandmaster Ancestral Deity. It would be better to take a chance and fight together with the peacock; this experience might convince the peacock to support her in the future.
Her delicate hands moved continuously as if dancing or performing an ancient ritual, while she chanted incomprehensible words. A multicolored aura enveloped her body.
However, Zhu Maogu turned his head. He saw a streak of light flying towards him, seemingly sensing his presence but continuing to approach.
What creature dared to be so bold?
