Chapter 1013: Intense Battle with the Demon Clan

The seawater churned rapidly, its speed increasing, and the vortex grew larger. The airflow intensified, and a ripping sound echoed through the air. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's hair whipped in the wind, their robes fluttering wildly.

Witnessing this, the expressions of Wang Qingling and other Wang family cultivators grew tense.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were the family's greatest pillars of support. If anything happened to them, the Wang family wouldn't be annihilated, but its development would certainly be hindered.

The blue vortex was like a monstrous beast's gaping maw, greedily pulling Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan towards it.

Loud tearing sounds erupted as countless giant, door-sized wind blades shot in from all directions. These enormous wind blades were incredibly sharp, and their passage through the air created a series of ear-splitting rips.

Wang Changsheng's expression became grim. He opened his mouth, and three Sea-Stabilizing Pearls flew out. They spun rapidly, unleashing a vast expanse of blue seawater that formed a massive blue water curtain, encasing Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

Neither the silver lightning orbs nor the giant wind blades could budge the blue water curtain; they simply struck its surface, which shimmered with circulating light.

Wu Yao'er and the azure-robed youth exchanged glances and nodded to each other.

The azure-robed youth's face contorted into a ferocious grimace. With a flash of azure light, he transformed into a giant azure crane, over ten zhang tall, with a slender neck and crimson eyes.

The azure giant crane let out a clear cry and spread its azure wings, swooping towards Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

Wu Yao'er transformed into a silver phoenix, over ten zhang in size, with golden eyes. After a phoenix cry, she flapped her wings, following closely behind the azure giant crane.

They had directly assumed their demonic beast forms to attack Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

Upon seeing this, Li Tianyang's expression tightened. He quickly sent a telepathic message to the other Nascent Soul cultivators: "Fellow Daoists, pay attention and be ready to provide support at any moment."

The azure giant crane and silver lightning phoenix circled Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan erratically. Tearing sounds continuously filled the air for several miles around, and a loud whistling wind arose. A powerful current appeared out of nowhere, expanding the blue vortex by more than double. Waves splashed dozens of zhang high, creating a somewhat frightening spectacle.

Wind howls and thunder continued without cease. Dense azure wind blades flew from the azure giant crane, and silver lightning orbs shot from the silver lightning phoenix, overwhelmingly bombarding Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. Silver, azure, and blue lights intertwined, like a fireworks display.

Soon, a blue tornado over a hundred zhang high materialized out of thin air. Within the blue tornado, silver and azure spiritual lights could be seen, accompanied by continuous rumbling.

Space rippled in layers, as if it were about to be torn apart by the powerful airflow. The seawater trembled violently, and concentric rings of visible waves swept outwards in all directions, like an earthquake.

Rumble!

An earth-shattering roar suddenly erupted. The blue tornado instantly exploded, and a visible shockwave rapidly spread outwards. The shockwave quickly swept over Golden Dragon Island, causing rocks to crack and trees to snap in half as it passed. It stirred up ocean waves over a hundred zhang high before finally being stopped by Golden Dragon Island's protective formation.

A flash of azure light and a flash of silver light shot out, revealing a silver phoenix and an azure giant crane. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had vanished, and the enormous vortex had also disappeared.

"Water Escape Art! Do you think hiding in the sea will save you?"

The silver lightning phoenix's tone was icy, its gaze fixed on a certain area of the sea.

Just then, the seawater violently churned, and loud "sizzling" sounds of tearing air erupted. Countless blue water blades shot out from beneath the sea, striking the silver lightning phoenix and the azure giant crane from all directions.

"Such a petty trick dares to be displayed!"

The azure giant crane's tone was filled with disdain. It fiercely flapped its wings, unleashing a violent gale, and countless azure wind blades shot out. A powerful current swirled around their bodies.

The azure wind blades shattered a large number of blue water blades. However, the sheer quantity of blue water blades was overwhelming, and a few stragglers struck the powerful current, immediately turning into a puddle of seawater.

"Thump! Thump!"

With a few muffled thumps, nine clusters of clear water suddenly transformed into nine misty blue orbs, their surfaces inscribed with flowing runes, radiating pure water spiritual energy fluctuations. These were the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

"Oh no, a complete set of magic treasures! And there are nine of them!"

The silver phoenix's voice was filled with surprise, secretly thinking "this is bad." Its pair of silver wings glowed intensely with silver light.

Human cultivators excelled at artifact refining and alchemy. In combat, the demon race most feared encountering Nascent Soul cultivators with complete sets of magic treasures, as they could set up formations to counter the demon race.

Just then, a "rumbling" sound erupted. The seawater churned violently, and a blue giant hand, over twenty zhang in size, suddenly appeared on the sea surface, fiercely slapping towards the azure giant crane.

Before the blue giant hand even approached, a powerful gravitational force washed over it. The azure giant crane immediately felt its body tighten, its reaction delayed by a beat.

Its body glowed intensely with azure light. It fiercely flapped its wings, unleashing a violent gale, and a misty azure hurricane shot out, meeting the blue giant hand.

Rumble!

The azure hurricane shattered the blue giant hand, and the azure hurricane also vanished. An invisible sound wave shot out without warning, instantly sweeping over the azure giant crane's body.

The azure giant crane spat out a large mouthful of blood, and many of its feathers had fallen off.

This was a combined attack; the blue giant hand contained a sound wave attack.

After entering the Nascent Soul stage, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's combined attack became even more powerful. Their attacks could be superimposed; on the surface, it was merely the blue giant hand, but in reality, there was also a sound wave attack. This sound wave attack was unleashed by the combined power of Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's spiritual energy, making it incredibly potent.

Loud thunder roared, and the silver lightning phoenix transformed into a streak of lightning and vanished.

The seawater formed by the shattered blue water blades coalesced, quickly transforming into a massive blue water curtain that enveloped the azure giant crane.

The surface of the blue water curtain was covered with rice-grain-sized blue runes, emitting abundant water spiritual energy fluctuations.

Within the blue light curtain, the azure giant crane felt immense pressure from all directions, as if it was about to be crushed.

The seawater churned violently, suddenly rising over ten zhang high. Wang Ruyan sat cross-legged on the waves, her expression indifferent, with the Golden Lotus Guqin placed before her. Wang Changsheng stood behind Wang Ruyan, his eyes filled with killing intent.

The azure giant crane was trapped by the formation he had set up using the nine Sea-Stabilizing Pearls. Even if it managed to escape, it would be severely weakened.

If that silver lightning phoenix hadn't fled so quickly, it would have been trapped as well.

"Not good, quickly help! Fellow Daoist Azure Crane cannot be harmed."

Wu Yue's beautiful face changed dramatically as she quickly ordered.

She naturally saw that Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were performing a combined attack. With two Nascent Soul cultivators using a complete set of magic treasures to set up a formation, it was almost impossible for Azure Crane to escape unless assisted by companions.

A flash of silver light appeared in a certain void, revealing a silver lightning phoenix.

Wu Yue led three sea creatures in an attack. Li Tianyang, of course, would not stand idly by and led three Nascent Soul cultivators to meet them. Hai Dashan and the other two were still battling the foreign cultivators, and they were both surprised and delighted to see Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan set up a formation to trap the azure giant crane.

For a time, the Nascent Soul cultivators from both sides engaged in intense combat. The demon race wanted to rescue their comrade, and Li Tianyang naturally refused, fully obstructing them.

Within the blue water curtain, Wang Ruyan's slender fingers glided across the zither strings, and a low, resonant melody suddenly emerged.

The azure giant crane realized the gravity of the situation and dared not be careless. It flapped its wings, flying towards the edge of the blue water curtain, attempting to break through the formation and escape.

Wang Changsheng sneered and chanted a magic incantation. The sea surface suddenly churned violently, and over a dozen vortices, each over a hundred zhang wide, appeared. A powerful airflow materialized out of thin air.
