Chapter 27: The Annoyed Demon Saint Guiche! The Enraged Ancestral Witch Xuanming!

In the sky far from the Stone Palace.

Dark clouds loom, and within the endless darkness, brilliant divine lights erupt, followed by a continuous series of deafening collision sounds, as terrifying as if ancient giant beasts were shaking the heavens and the earth.

Such an astonishing scene is naturally the great battle unfolding between the Ancestral Witch Houtu and the Demon Saint Guiche.

At this moment, the fierce battle between the two sides has entered a white-hot stage, with the confrontation being extremely intense.

The collision of the two powerhouses directly tears apart the clouds in the sky, and the mana erupting from each surges like the tide, whipping up surging waves.

Guiche's expression is extremely gloomy, because he never imagined that the opponent he would face this time would actually be Houtu! The reason he led his subordinates here was simply because he suddenly received a plea for help from one of his offspring.

That was an offspring he valued highly, and he had even specially promoted the other to Demon General recently; yet, as soon as the other took office, they were bullied by a member of the Wu Clan, so he naturally had to come to rescue his descendant and, incidentally, regain some face.

Who would have thought that the member of the Wu Clan who suppressed his offspring would turn out to be the Ancestral Witch Houtu!

Although the Ten Great Demon Sages should be equal in status to the Twelve Ancestral Witches, there are differences in strength among Ancestral Witches, and naturally, there are also distinctions of strength among Demon Sages.

Past encounters have made Guiche understand very clearly in his heart that, in terms of individual strength alone, it is difficult for him to contend with Houtu.

Sure enough, after a round of fighting, he discovered that he was indeed no match for Houtu.

Now that both sides have fought to this point, Guiche has also fallen into a dilemma.

If he fights, he feels he cannot win.

If he does not fight, it is truly too shameful!

Not to mention, his offspring has not been rescued yet!

What makes Guiche feel fortunate is that he did not come here alone this time, but brought tens of thousands of Demon Soldiers with him.

Among them are more than a dozen early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortals; at this moment, they are like violent storms, breaking through layer after layer of barriers, attempting to close in on Houtu.

Houtu, however, has a stern expression, her entire body erupting with terrifying baleful aura, driving the Law Divine Light to repel wave after wave of the besieging Demon Race army with earth-shattering momentum.

A cunning light flashes in Guiche's pupils as he also drives a Spiritual Treasure to launch an attack toward Houtu.

He says in a deep voice: "Houtu, this Demon Saint admits that your strength is indeed slightly superior, but this Demon Saint still has tens of thousands of troops under his command! Do you think you can resist the Demon Race army under my command with your own strength? You are overestimating yourself too much!"

Looking at the provocative Guiche, Houtu sneers without backing down: "If you have the ability, come and try! Standing in place and clamoring will only result in your Demon Race subordinates becoming ashes beneath my feet."

Guiche's expression sinks, and he is also very angry in his heart.

He originally wanted to give Houtu a way out, letting the other release his offspring so he could let the other go.

Who would have thought that Houtu would be so unappreciative! Yet he still has to try his best to restrain his emotions, saying again in a deep voice: "Must you fight me to the death? As long as you release my grandson now, I can lead my troops away immediately!"

Houtu does not appreciate it at all, but instead chuckles: "Guiche, who do you think you are? Do you think I am afraid of you Demon Race? Hmph, your grandson dared to be arrogant, so he must pay the price! I let him experience the strength of an Ancestral Witch; it can be considered his honor."

Guiche is burning with rage, a flash of ruthlessness appearing in his eyes: "Fine! Since you are so unappreciative, then don't blame me, Guiche, for being heartless! I will let you see the true power of our Demon Race!"

As soon as his voice falls, Guiche waves his right hand, and the tens of thousands of Demon Soldiers immediately arrange themselves into a formation, preparing to launch a fierce attack on Houtu. He himself, along with several Demon Generals at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, strikes together to attack Houtu.

Boom, boom, boom! Under wave after wave of fierce attacks, Houtu cannot help but have her expression change slightly.

Although her mana is powerful, it is not an easy task to withstand so many powerhouses at the same time.

However, her gaze remains firm, without any fear, and she shouts instead: "Hmph, you Demon Race scum are not worthy of contending with me!"

She suddenly forces Guiche back, then leaps and lands on the earth.

The next moment—"Boom!"

Rolling Earthly Fiend Power surges from the earth, drawn by her and transformed into streaks of Law Divine Light that sweep across all directions! Many Demon Race members with weaker strength and inferior magical treasures are directly blasted to death, falling powerlessly from the sky and smashing heavily onto the ground.

Guiche stares intently at Houtu's eyes, and seeing the fearless look within them, he cannot help but feel a chill.

This is the most troublesome aspect of the Earth Ancestral Witch.

As long as she stands on the ground, her mana seems to be endless! It is just that Guiche truly cannot understand why Houtu must fight him to the death. He is not to be outdone, and hums coldly: "Houtu, just you wait! You will definitely end up as a prisoner of this Demon Saint!"

He increases the intensity of his attacks again, even going so far as to order his Demon Race subordinates to use some desperate measures, just to finish off Houtu more quickly.

He knows how protective these Ancestral Witches are of their own; if the battle drags on for too long, it might attract other Ancestral Witches, and then he would be in big trouble!

What he does not know is that Houtu, in fighting them at this time, has no intention of killing them at all.

What Houtu truly wants to do is merely to delay time.

Because she knows that Lu Yun should be transcending mortality and becoming an immortal before long! However, Houtu also does not know whether Guiche will notify other Demon Race powerhouses to come; if the other party really finds other Demon Saints to join forces against her, then she would be unable to fulfill her promise to protect Lu Yun.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, she is indeed using her Supernatural Power in secret while fighting, notifying her own clansmen to rush over to help!...

Inside the Houtu Ancestral Court.

A group of Great Witches, upon learning the news, become furious one by one.

They immediately grab their weapons, intending to rush toward the direction of the battlefield.

As a result, just as they are about to leave the Ancestral Court, they happen to see a figure drifting over.

Seeing the appearance of the person, they immediately bow in succession: "Greetings, Ancestral Witch Xuanming!"

It turns out that this person is actually the other female Ancestral Witch among the Twelve Ancestral Witches—Xuanming.

Ancestral Witch Xuanming is quite different from Houtu, with a cold temperament, and her whole body exudes terrifying chilliness.

She glances at these Great Witches indifferently and asks: "Where is your Ancestral Witch?"

One of the Great Witches steps out and tells Xuanming what happened.

Instantly, Xuanming is filled with towering rage!

"What? Houtu has actually been attacked by the Demon Race?"

"Damn Demon Race, what great audacity!"

She determines the direction where the battle is taking place, and with a movement of her figure, she flies rapidly toward that side.

The surrounding Great Witches of the Houtu Ancestral Court are all startled into alertness.

"Quick, let us follow immediately to help the Ancestral Witch kill the enemy!"

"That's right, if we go too late, the Demon Race might all be finished off by the two Ancestral Witches!"

"Just in time to take this opportunity to catch more ingredients!"
