Chapter 238: with translation of chapter title

Just as Hou Yi was pondering.

Chen Ku swept his hand and instantly withdrew the great Buddhist divine power held in his palm.

The suppressing force in the darkness faded, the Ten Golden Crows regained freedom, and immediately spread their wings to soar high in the heavens.

Seeing this, Di Jun and Taiyi rejoiced.

Although Chen Ku had extorted them today, saving the Ten Golden Crows' lives would make it not too great a loss.

But who would have thought that at that very moment Hou Yi suddenly moved.

Hmph, Senior Chen Ku promised to release them!

But our Wu Clan refuses!

As he spoke, Hou Yi swiftly nocked another arrow.

In the blink of an eye, another ten arrows flew forth.

Rumble!

In an instant, ten arrows shot out like a string of ten stars, spreading a heavenly divine light that was intensely brilliant and dazzling.

This time, it was even more violent and ferocious than before.

Know that although Hou Yi is a great witch, he is also famed as the Great Witch of Space, commanding spatial power.

However, his command of spatial law is inferior to Di Jiang's, and that's that.

Each of the ten arrows is infused with spatial law.

Thus, the beings had no time to react.

The arrows like a string of ten stars suddenly pierced the void, ripped through the endless heavens, and shot toward the Ten Golden Crows.

Hiss!

Hiss!

Hiss!

Nine dull thuds echoed one after another.

Then the beings saw their pupils shrink sharply.

Nine arrows, in a shocking manner, directly pierced the bodies of the Nine Great Golden Crows.

In an instant, blood rain erupted and severed limbs flew everywhere.

Apart from the smallest golden crow, the remaining Nine Great Golden Crows bled out high in the heavens.

Even their primordial spirits were utterly destroyed, fading into nothing.

At the same time, Di Jun had already sprang into action.

Hou Yi, how dare you?!

His face darkened, he let out an angry roar, and immediately attacked.

He unleashed a palm that blotted out the sky and sun, vast and unmatched.

However, Hou Yi's arrow assault was too terrifying.

Even Di Jun does not wield such spatial power.

Thus, even with all his might, this palm could only forcibly seal the smallest golden crow in the void, blocking Hou Yi's tenth arrow.

In an instant, nine of the Ten Golden Crows fell, leaving only one alive.

Silence!

Heaven and earth were filled with a deathly silence.

Hou Yi's violent ferocity surpassed the beings' expectations.

Countless beings stared at the scene in disbelief, dumbstruck.

After a long while, a mighty being finally reacted.

Hiss... Have the Nine Great Golden Crows truly been wiped out?

Heavens, how dare Hou Yi do this?

Hmm... Hou Yi isn't wrong, after all, as he said, Chen Ku is not of the Wu Clan.

Chen Ku may agree to let them go, but he cannot speak for the Wu Clan's will.

The Ten Golden Crows are seen by Di Jun, Taiyi, and others as the Demon Race's inheritance, yet today they have perished.

This... Hou Yi's move truly threatens to pierce the heavens.

Startled!

Astonished!

The beings suddenly realized.

Before this, they naturally believed Chen Ku could single-handedly control the situation.

But only now did they realize that Hou Yi and the others embody the Wu Clan's will.

This action is entirely justified, with nothing improper, let alone being untrustworthy.

At the same time, countless beings' faces shifted, and a deep unease rose in their hearts.

Di Jun, Taiyi, and others' esteem for the Ten Golden Crows is unquestionable.

But today, the Nine Great Golden Crows have perished; if Di Jun and Taiyi do not go berserk, that would be truly uncanny.

Yet the beings failed to notice.

Watching this, Chen Ku stood high in the heavens and gave Hou Yi an appreciative glance.

The meaning goes without saying.

Amidst the beings' exclamations.

In the arena, Di Jun Supreme Unity also finally came to his senses.

Hou Yi!

Di Jun's eyes were about to burst, his expression ferocious and terrifying, as he gritted his teeth and shouted.

If looks could kill, Hou Yi would have long been reduced to ashes and ceased to exist.

Beside him, Taiyi was even more resolute and unstoppably fierce.

Wu Clan, you dare slay my Demon Race's tenth prince?

Today, the Wu Clan will surely perish; not a single one will even think of leaving this place.

Taiyi also erupted in great rage.

His face twitched uncontrollably, solar true fire blazing across his body, revealing the intensity of Taiyi's anger.

Before his words faded, a tremendous 'Boom' of a great bell rang out.

The Chaos Bell reappeared, suspended high in the void, shedding five-colored light that blanketed heaven and earth, endless and boundless.

The bell's toll shone brightly, heaven and earth lost color, and the universe trembled.

The next moment, the Chaos Bell came crashing down toward Hou Yi and Kuafu.

All beings clearly saw that wherever it passed, space collapsed inch by inch and time stood still.

Around the bell, the sun, moon, stars, and the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind swirled like substance, stirring up a terrifying cataclysm.

Obviously, the deaths of the nine golden crows left Taiyi burning with hatred and rage.

This heaven-opening supreme treasure was also pushed to its limit.

Taiyi intends to vow to slay Hou Yi and Kuafu to avenge the nine golden crows.

This sight drew a gasp from all beings.

In the looks toward Hou Yi and Kuafu, there was also full of worry.

After all, one must know that Taiyi is famed as the War God of the Demon Race, on par with the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

And Hou Yi and Kuafu, as great witches, are clearly no match for Taiyi.

Even if they joined forces, they could hardly withstand the Chaos Bell's might.

Could it be that the Wu Clan's two great witches will also perish here and now, body and spirit destroyed?

But just then, a sudden change occurred.

Before the Chaos Bell could fall onto the heads of Hou Yi and Kuafu.

In the dark void, a heavenly sound seemed to echo, ethereal and elusive yet immensely grand, shaking the deaf and rousing the hearing.

Tathagata Divine Palm!

Suddenly, above the nine heavens, a vast, mighty, colossal palm imprint burst forth.

The palm imprint exploded with billions of feet of golden light, divine radiance shining brightly, blinding to the extreme.

Then, its speed increased, and it ruthlessly descended onto the scene.

Boom!

This palm collided violently with the Chaos Bell.

Only to see endless lightning flash forth, thunder surging violently.

Then the Chaos Bell trembled violently, its five-colored radiance dimming, and it flew back to hover above Taiyi's head.

Seeing this, both Di Jun and Taiyi were startled.

But immediately after, the two turned around, their gazes dark as they looked upon Chen Ku's figure.

Chen Ku, what are you doing?!

Hmph, do you intend to ally with the Wu Clan and drag yourself into this battle?!

Not bad!

Di Jun and Taiyi reacted extremely quickly.

They instantly realized that the previous palm was, more precisely, the Great Divine Ability of the Tathagata Divine Palm, which Chen Ku had unleashed.

The two shouted in a stern voice.

Upon hearing this, all beings turned their gazes to Chen Ku, faces showing confusion.

Could it be that all of this before was merely an act by Chen Ku?

In the end, he will still side with the Wu Clan and confront the Demon Race head-on?!

Who would have thought, upon hearing Di Jun and Taiyi's questioning?

At this moment, Chen Ku seemed to have suddenly awakened.

He gave an embarrassed smile, then sheepishly said:

Eh? So you're actually going to deal with the Wu Clan?

Hehe... I thought the Chaos Bell was coming to attack me.

After all, I've experienced this kind of method far too much.

I suppose you two can understand, right?

After a pause, Chen Ku shook his head and sighed to himself:

Ah... suffering, suffering...

I too have suffered too many attacks from the Chaos Bell, to the point it's become a conditioned reflex.

Upon hearing Chen Ku's explanation,

Between heaven and earth, all beings were dumbfounded.

Di Jun and Taiyi also wore a bewildered look, grim as water.

Conditioned reflex?!

You fucking...

Listen, listen!

Is this reasonable?!

Previously, nobody could tell, but that Chaos Bell was actually rushing toward Hou Yi and Kua Fu.

All beings were doubtful and uneasy, staring at Chen Ku with greatly changing expressions, as if trying to find something strange on his face.

But after a long while, Chen Ku showed no abnormality.

"Hmph, that previous strike, this emperor can consider it an unintentional act."

"Next, do you still want to interfere in this matter?!"

Di Jun was furious and unable to vent.

But he knows that, for now, Chen Ku is not the target of the demon court's people; the two great witches of the Wu Clan are.

Therefore, he could only suppress his anger and speak thus.

This time, Chen Ku was also straightforward.

"Hehe, that's natural!"

"Your affairs, this seat will not interfere again!"

Speaking, Chen Ku immediately withdrew and retreated a million li, placing himself outside the battlefield, merely watching from afar.

It really looks like he has no intention to interfere again, just a posture of the Wu-Yao clan war.

Undoubtedly, Chen Ku's previous action is naturally not what he called a 'conditioned reflex'.

At this moment, his gaze deep, he looked toward a certain direction.

There, Chen Ku had sensed a profound and profound spatial law fluctuation, gradually emanating.

Moreover, speaking of Di Jun and Taiyi.

Seeing Chen Ku truly retreat to outside the battlefield, the two gradually withdrew their gloomy gazes like water.

Regardless, if Chen Ku does not continue to interfere, it also lets Di Jun and Taiyi's hearts settle a bit.

No more nonsense, the two again firmly stared at Hou Yi and Kua Fu.

"You will surely die today!"

The words fell.

This time, not only did Taiyi again take up the Chaos Bell and leap.

Di Jun also acted without hesitation.

Above the high heavens, the true solar fire had reached an unprecedented level of fervor, submerging everything in the field.

Assisted by the five-colored radiance bursting from the Chaos Bell, this scene was even more horrifying beyond compare.

All beings who beheld it felt their scalps go numb and their souls tremble.

Boom!

Boom!

Mighty power surged, falling upon Hou Yi and the two's bodies.

A dull sound suddenly exploded.

Then Hou Yi and Kua Fu's figures also flew out, involuntarily letting out a groan and spitting blood.

Although the Wu Clan's physical forms are strong, the great witches are ultimately no match for the ancestral witches.

Moreover, the Chaos Bell is indeed one of the supreme treasures that opened the heavens.

Thus, Hou Yi and Kua Fu had no way to resist.

One strike heavily wounded the two, and Di Jun's gaze grew even colder.

He wasted no words, unleashing another great divine ability, about to unleash a killing strike to completely exterminate Hou Yi and Kua Fu.

However, at this critical moment.

In the void, another coarse and heavy great shout suddenly burst forth.

"Damn it!"

"Just because you two feathered beasts dare to kill my Wu Clan strong ones?!"

This sentence was full of vigor, shocking people's hearts.

Almost at the instant the words sounded.

Only seen before Hou Yi and Kua Fu's faces, a spatial passage also suddenly appeared without omen.

Immediately, a figure more burly and majestic than Hou Yi and the two also stepped forward.

The incoming person was extremely formidable, a punch blasted out, directly clashing with Di Jun.

With the dull sound transmitted, the two separated upon contact.

Di Jun, unprepared, at this moment also retreated a hundred thousand li before barely stopping.

Afterwards, Di Jun then stared with a dark face.

Only seen, the comer is none other than Emperor Jiang, leader of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Only he has the power to instantly construct a spatial passage, with one strike saving Hou Yi and Kua Fu's lives.

Not only that.

After Emperor Jiang, Chu Jiuyin, Gonggong, Zhurong, Houtu, etc., also appeared one by one.

In a short moment, the Twelve Ancestral Witches all arrived.

Afterwards, Xingtian, Chiyou, Xiangliu, etc., the remaining several great witches, also appeared.

Seeing this scene, Di Jun and Taiyi's expressions instantly became like having eaten a dead fly, even uglier.

However, shortly after, Di Jun's expression shifted, as if he had thought of something.

He didn't say much to the Twelve Ancestral Witches, but instead looked coldly at Chen Ku beside him.

Chen Ku, this emperor has already given you enough face.

How dare you still be so shameless, deliberately delaying until the Twelve Ancestral Witches descend?!

Hmph, you dare say you're not deliberately protecting that Hou Yi and Kuafu?!

Di Jun gritted his teeth and roared angrily.

Not bad!

Di Jun finally came to a sudden realization.

What conditioned reflex? What unconscious action?!

That's nothing but Chen Ku's excuse.

If it weren't for his intervention, Hou Yi and Kuafu would have already perished.

And it is precisely because of his momentary delay that the Twelve Ancestral Witches had time to rush to their aid, strongly protecting Hou Yi and Kuafu.

In the world, how could there be such a coincidence?

Di Jun flew into a rage, his eyes blazing.

Upon hearing this, all beings immediately erupted in an uproar, completely boiling over.

What? Was everything before done intentionally by Chen Ku?!

This... upon careful consideration, it is indeed true.

It is precisely because Chen Ku weakened the Chaos Bell's power with a single palm that Hou Yi and Kuafu could withstand that blow.

Moreover, if not for this brief delay, Di Jiang and the others would probably only be able to collect Hou Yi's corpse.

Tsk... we had almost forgotten, Chen Ku's cheek is truly unprecedented in the present age.

Only he could pull off such a heaven‑defying feat without changing his expression or heartbeat.

All beings discussed incessantly, marveling without end.

Regarding Di Jun's words, they already believed them to some extent.

And now, awed by Chen Ku's overwhelming, peerless strength and the formidable backing of the Western Buddhist Sect, all beings naturally dare not again call Chen Ku 'shameless and vile'.

But his earlier words had nearly convinced all beings of their truth, and still made many great beings sigh, 'This kid's cheek is really too thick.'

Yet upon hearing Di Jun's angry shout, Chen Ku still wore an innocent expression.

Ah? What does Fellow Daoist Di Jun mean by these words?!

Where have I deliberately protected Kuafu and Hou Yi?

Watching until now, Chen Ku still pretends thus.

On the other side, Di Jun Taiyi was nearly driven mad with rage.
