Honghuang: It makes sense that there are four Sanqing, right?

The ferocious beast, Chaos, shaped like a crimson flesh ball, swung its six legs simultaneously, crashing towards the spot where Xu Qing was sitting with a force as powerful as a mountain.

Yuanshi Tongtian Luohou made another move, successfully intercepting Chaos once again and keeping the enemy a hundred miles away from Xu Qing.

On the other side, the ferocious beast Qiongqi, with the body of a tiger and the wings of an eagle, flapped its enormous wings that blotted out the sky, and raised its dragon claws high, their sharp edges gleaming. The claws were aimed at the spot where Xu Qing was sitting cross-legged.

The Qiongqi faction has been reduced to just Hongjun and Nuwa due to Jieyin's serious injury and subsequent departure. Nuwa still wields the dark green Creation Cauldron, while Hongjun simultaneously summons the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Xuanhuang Pagoda and the Taiji Diagram.

With a loud "boom," as soon as Qiongqi's front paws touched the three magical treasures, perhaps because one of them was missing, Hongjun and Nuwa were clearly struggling, their bodies and magical treasures trembling as if they could only barely hold on.

"Now! Disperse!"

After a three-breath standoff between the two humans and the beast, Xu Qing felt the time was right and transmitted his voice to Nuwa and Hongjun.

Upon hearing the command, Nuwa and Hongjun immediately dispersed, feigning that they could not hold on any longer, and each flew backward, their faces ashen and their breaths chaotic and unstable.

A look of extreme surprise appeared on Qiongqi Tiger's face, while its gaze toward Xu Qing turned cold and cruel. It immediately rushed over.

Then the dragon claw slammed down with all its might, as if vowing to turn Xu Qing into mincemeat and never let him be reborn.

Just as Qiongqi struck Xu Qing, it immediately sensed a sense of danger coming from its side.

At the same time, Xu Qing and Jieyin stood together, simultaneously summoning their magical treasures and staring intently at Qiongqi.

"Time to surrender your life!"

Hongjun roared, and the Pangu Banner behind him gathered immense killing power, crossing the river of time to borrow a trace of Pangu's power in creating the world, as if to cut Qiongqi in two.

Nuwa also roared angrily, and the Creation Cauldron, a supreme treasure in front of her, exuded a rich Daoist aura, displaying boundless strange phenomena of living beings. It also attacked with a dazzling dark green light.

"Hmph, well done!"

But at the crucial moment, Qiongqi was able to instantly withdraw its power, miraculously turn around, and roar as it crossed its two front legs, colliding with Hongjun.

Hongjun and Nuwa were sent flying backward. Defense and offense offer different levels of protection. This time, neither of them defended. Although they managed to mitigate some of the damage through offense, Hongjun still let out a muffled groan, and Nuwa, being weaker, coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Qiongqi snorted coldly, its tiger's mouth wide open, and amidst the loud tiger's roar, Shichen's mocking voice rang out.

"Hongjun possesses two supreme defensive treasures, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda and the Taiji Diagram. How could I possibly break through their defenses so easily? What a despicable scheme."

"Xu Qing, you want to gamble your life on whether you and Jieyin can withstand my attack. Unfortunately, I won't fall for it. Hongjun, on whom you place such high hopes, his so-called supreme killing treasure, the Pangu Banner, cannot kill me."

As he spoke, Qiongqi, after defeating Hongjun and the Creation Cauldron, pounced again, heading towards Xu Qing and Jieyin's location.

Even without any leverage, the Qiongqi's front paws lightly slapped the light barrier that Xu Qing and Jie had built with all their might, shattering it. The Azure Lotus Banner and the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Xuanhuang Pagoda also dimmed and were set aside.

Just as Qiongqi was about to strike a second time, Hongjun arrived again, simultaneously activating the defensive treasures, the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Xuanhuang Pagoda and the Taiji Diagram. The Heaven and Earth Exquisite Xuanhuang Pagoda rotated and shone with golden light, while the Taiji Diagram flickered and revealed yin and yang, thus blocking Qiongqi's attack with its own power.

"Good lad, try this one then!"

Qiongqi's tiger eyes widened in astonishment. All his information about the primordial treasures came from Yang Mei. He had only ever heard of the so-called defensive treasures and had never seen them in person. He never expected that these two treasures could actually allow Hongjun to block him.

However, he also realized that with Hongjun's current strength and realm, activating two supreme treasures at the same time would be extremely taxing. In other words, Hongjun could only hold off Qiongqi once or twice at most, and it was impossible for him to last long.

So Qiongqi calmly raised its dragon claws high again and struck Xu Qing and Jieyin once more.

On the other side, Chaos was overjoyed to see that Qiongqi had successfully approached Xu Qing and that only Hongjun was barely holding on, so he increased the force in his hands by three points.

Chaos slammed into something, and three more magical treasures appeared before him: the Heaven-Reaching Exquisite Xuanhuang Pagoda, the Primordial Pangu Banner, and... Nuwa's Red Embroidered Ball!

"Nuwa, what are you doing here?!"

Chaos, who thought victory was in sight, suddenly realized that something was wrong with the magic weapon. He was shocked and sure enough, the auras of the Primordial Measuring Ruler and Rahu appeared behind him.

"Why can't I be here!"

Although Nuwa was injured by Qiongqi's claw and was attacking with her wounds, her voice was still bold and domineering.

Chaos was merely surprised; of course, he didn't really want to discuss this matter with Nuwa. Sensing Rahu's aura, he quickly withdrew his hand, intending to return and block.

However, his situation was different from Qiongqi's. Qiongqi had anticipated this and only held back seven-tenths of his strength when he attacked, while Hun Dun thought victory was in sight and was in a state of excitement. He was unaware that Luo Hou was attacking from behind, so he used all his strength in this attack. How could he easily stop?

"No!"

Chaos was unable to defend in time and was severely injured when half of his body was smashed apart by the Primordial Measuring Ruler.

Taking advantage of his weakness, Rahu and Tongtian Yuanshi Nuwa struck again, quickly subduing the heavily injured Chaos and then swiftly returning to defend against Qiongqi.

"What?!"

Qiongqi was shocked. Damn it, he was so pleased with himself for seeing through Xu Qing's scheme that he had only counted the number of people during the first defense and had completely forgotten about Nuwa!

Looking at the cracked light shield in front of Hongjun and the smiling Xu Qing who was on the verge of death, Qiongqi was confident that he would only need one strike to kill Xu Qing completely. However, if Nuwa and the others arrived, they would probably only need one strike to kill him as well.

With this thought in mind, Qiongqi snorted coldly, vigorously flapped its wings, and transformed into a shooting star, carrying Yang Mei on its head as it flew towards the depths of Qingzhuo.

Before leaving, Qiongqi turned his head and gave the white-robed Taoist who was slumped on the ground a deep look. "There is still the Great Calamity of Gods and Demons and the Great Calamity of the Royal Beast. Xu Qing, we have a long way to go!"

Xu Qing also stared at the disappearing Qiongqi on the horizon, his eyes flickering, lost in thought.

"Venerable One, what a pity, he got away!"

Luo Hou chased after him for a while, but his speed was no match for Qiongqi, so he had to return to Xu Qing's side.

"It's alright. After this battle, only Qiongqi remains of the four great beasts. The beast calamity, one of the three great calamities, should be no threat. It can be considered a great victory."

Yes, a resounding victory!

The seven sages present looked at each other, and there were smiles on their faces.

"Fourth brother, the great calamity of gods and demons and the great calamity of the royal beasts should still be some time away. Let's go back to the prehistoric world first."

Yuanshi and Tongtian spoke at the same time.
