Xuan Tianji snorted coldly, "You old hag, when I smack your butt swollen, you'll know who's embarrassed."
Vermilion Bird snorted too, saying nothing more.
Xuan Tianji sent out a signal with the large tripod, and moments later, two divine lights flew in from afar; it was the Monk of Abstinence and the No-Moral Taoist.
Seeing these two, Chen Nan quickly clasped his fists and greeted them respectfully.
He had heard from Xuan Tianji that this No-Moral Taoist was a strong figure from the Tao Realm, and all cultivators in the mortal world were his descendants. It's just that these descendants were unworthy, having neglected physical training, which led to cultivation evolving into today's practices.
The two saw the situation in the formation and immediately understood Vermilion Bird's intentions. No need for Xuan Tianji to explain, the two masters took positions at two locations, forming a triangular stance with Xuan Tianji.
"Move!"
Xuan Tianji unleashed the Mixed Element Tripod.
If this Mixed Element Tripod were from the Ancient Times, it would be an Ultimate Supreme Divine Artifact with boundless power.
Though severely damaged in an ancient battle, it has now been restored to its level. As the large tripod descended, the Protecting Valley Formation immediately trembled.
Glancing at the Monk of Abstinence, Xuan Tianji tossed the God Beating Whip, which he had retrieved from Chen Nan, over. The great monk wielded this Supreme Demon Artifact with power far exceeding what Chen Nan could muster, causing the formation's protective shield to shake more violently.
"Old bull-nose, it's your turn," Xuan Tianji addressed the No-Moral Taoist.
"Infinite Venerable!"
The old Taoist chanted a mantra, waving his horsetail whisk and unleashing divine power downward.
Under the combined strike of the three great masters, it trembled violently, as if on the verge of shattering. After all, it was just a simple formation, with no one inside to guard it, incapable of resisting the divine power of the three.
Seeing this, Vermilion Bird's expression grew grim, "You old lecher, you stinking bull-nose, you dare help him against me!"
The monk and the Taoist ignored her, focusing solely on breaking the formation.
Seeing the dire situation, Vermilion Bird knew the formation wouldn't hold much longer. Though the time was not ripe, she prematurely extracted Su Qingqing's soul, attempting to use it as a lure to reconsolidate the Immortal Spirit Saintess's divine soul.
"Bang"
The sound of shattering rang out as the Protecting Valley Formation was torn open.
The three masters instantly charged into the Immortal Spirit Valley, raising three massive hands to enshroud Vermilion Bird.
Vermilion Bird had no choice but to release Su Qingqing's soul. Xuan Tianji seized the moment, enveloping and protecting Su Qingqing's soul with divine power, as meanwhile, the monk and Taoist's attacks clashed with Vermilion Bird.
The strengths of the three were quite evenly matched, and Vermilion Bird was caught off guard. This single move sent her spinning, rolling a thousand meters and smashing countless rocks, her hair disheveled, looking utterly pathetic.
Had it been anyone else besides her divine body, they'd probably be crushed to pieces.
"Butt into others' business, this old lady won't let you off!"
Interrupted at a critical moment, Vermilion Bird was furious. She swung her Vermilion Bird Feather Fan, unleashing endless flames towards the monk and Taoist.
This Vermilion Bird Divine Fire was far more terrifying than the blue-purple divine fire Chen Nan had obtained in the Tao Realm.
Even the Monk of Abstinence and No-Moral Taoist dared not to directly withstand its sharpness. They each utilized their divine skills to disperse the divine fire before jointly attacking Vermilion Bird once more. A cataclysmic battle ensued, and after more than a dozen moves, Vermilion Bird was again sent flying by their combined force.
Yet, despite this, the hot-tempered woman didn't give up; she became even more furious and aggressive.
Several moves later, all three were ablaze with anger, not wanting to suppress their powers anymore. They leaped into the outer space, unleashing their full strength, initiating a cataclysmic battle of destruction level.
Xuan Tianji returned Su Qingqing's soul to her body and looked up towards space.
"That stinking woman is so unruly!"
He shouted angrily, then instantly disappeared from the spot, joining the monk and Taoist in fighting Vermilion Bird in outer space.
Previously, on Earth, they suppressed their powers during fights to avoid massive destruction. Now in outer space, no one held back; limitless divine power burst forth, shattering countless planets.
However, there was one indisputable point.
The Vermilion Bird Divine Girl received a thorough beating from them.
This level of battle was beyond Chen Nan's ability to engage, or even watch. He immediately rushed into the Immortal Spirit Valley to carry out Su Qingqing.
But what worried Chen Nan was that no matter how he called, Su Qingqing kept her eyes shut, unmoving.
Feeling under her nose, her breathing was normal, and so were her pulse and heartbeat.
"How could this happen!"
Chen Nan was anxious, looking up, hoping to ask Xuan Tianji when he returned. But just as he looked up—
A red dot rapidly enlarged!
Falling from the sky, drawing closer and closer.
Chen Nan was startled; if it hit him, it would certainly be fatal. Without time to think, he swiftly maneuvered the warship to dodge into the distance.
At the moment he dodged, with a "boom," a red light struck Immortal Spirit Valley.
In the once spiritual energy-laden valley, a giant pit with a diameter of ten zhang was instantly blasted out, several zhang deep. Vermilion Bird lay in the pit, her hair tangled, battle armor askew, looking extremely miserable.
"You three old bastards!"
Vermilion Bird roared angrily, just about to leap out of the pit when the three appeared overhead, each casting divine power to imprison her.
"Let me go!"
Vermilion Bird glared, shouting angrily.
"How did our Four Extremes World produce such a joker like you!" Xuan Tianji said, exasperatedly looking at her. "I've advised you more than once, the Immortal Spirit Saintess can't be resurrected. If you keep messing around, I'll beat you until your butt blossoms."
"Infinite Venerable!" The old Taoist lightly flicked his horsetail whisk, stepping forward, "If you really want to spank her, count this Taoist in."
The Monk of Abstinence widened his eyes, "Oh, come on, the Buddha hasn't even spoken, what's with you stealing the spotlight."
Vermilion Bird's face turned alternately green and red with anger, but she couldn't break free from the three's combined hold. She could only glare at them fiercely.
Xuan Tianji ignored her glare, approaching Chen Nan.
He made a gesture, then cast a Dharma Seal, pressing it on Su Qingqing's forehead: "Soul Return!"
The unconscious Su Qingqing immediately opened her eyes.
This time, having narrowly escaped death, she gratefully thanked Xuan Tianji and the two monks before throwing herself excitedly into Chen Nan's arms.
Xuan Tianji, however, simply waved his hand, calling out to the monk and Taoist, and in the blink of an eye, the three of them vanished into the distance, dragging Vermilion Bird along.
