Chapter 1263: Extinguishing Ghost Cultivation

Green flames collided with blue sound waves, dissolving instantly like snow in early spring.

The blue sound waves struck the giant skull, sending it flying backward. Before it could get far, a loud whooshing sound filled the air as dense, blue fist shadows shot out, continuously striking the giant skull.

Boom! With a thunderous crash, the giant skull was pulverized by the dense blue fist shadows, turning into a cloud of dust that scattered onto the river water.

A black light shot towards them without warning, appearing instantly before Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, less than ten zhang away.

Feeling the astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the black light, Wang Changsheng's expression subtly changed. He cupped his hands as if embracing something.

As if guided by some force, the river water violently churned, and two blue water walls, over ten zhang high, rose before them, blocking the way.

With an earth-shattering roar, a black sun appeared above the river surface. The black sun enveloped an area of a thousand zhang, causing the river water to splash up in hundred-zhang-high waves. A visible shockwave erupted, spreading in all directions and striking the steep rock face.

Long cracks appeared on the rock face, and a large amount of rubble tumbled down.

Seizing this opportunity, Ghost Fiend Cultivator transformed into a black light and shot towards the river surface. Just as he was about to plunge into the water, a rapid ringing sound echoed. Ghost Fiend Cultivator felt dizzy and disoriented, and an unbearable sharp pain surged through his Sea of Consciousness.

A clear zither sound rang out, and a hundred-zhang-long blue sound wave shot out from the black lightning without warning, striking towards Ghost Fiend Cultivator.

As the blue sound wave passed, ripples spread across the river surface, as if an invisible giant hand was pushing the water. A water wall appeared on the river, growing taller as the blue sound wave moved.

The blue sound wave was extremely fast, reaching Ghost Fiend Cultivator instantly. The blue water wall was also over a hundred zhang high.

Ghost Fiend Cultivator opened his mouth, and a foot-long black pair of scissors flew out. The scissors were covered in faint purple, mystical patterns.

The black scissors pulsed with black light, their size rapidly increased, and they moved to cut the blue sound wave.

With a muffled thud, the black scissors flew backward, and the blue sound wave struck Ghost Fiend Cultivator's body.

He felt his qi and blood churn within him, as if the blood in his body was about to burst out. His face flushed crimson, and he opened his mouth to spray out a large mouthful of blood, his body flying backward.

Before he even landed, the river water below him suddenly began to spin rapidly, forming a giant whirlpool.

An incredibly heavy gravitational force emerged from the riverbed, enveloping an area of a thousand zhang.

Ghost Fiend Cultivator felt his body become as heavy as ten thousand jin, making it difficult to even take a single step.

He hastily controlled the black scissors to defend, but the scissors were also affected by the gravity, emitting wailing sounds, their black light flickering erratically.

Whooshing sounds filled the air as dense blue water pillars shot out from the riverbed, instantly coiling around the black scissors.

A large burst of black flames erupted from the black scissors, but the blue water pillars remained unharmed.

Boom! The river water violently churned, surging forward like ten thousand charging horses. Hundred-zhang-high waves splashed up, and the river transformed into a hundred-zhang-long blue water python, pouncing towards Ghost Fiend Cultivator.

Ghost Fiend Cultivator was scared out of his wits. A black light burst from his body, and surging yin qi gushed out, enveloping his entire being. A chilling wind blew, and a black shadow flew out, transforming into a three-zhang-large white bone bird. The white bone bird opened its mouth and spat out a watermelon-sized ball of white light, meeting the attack.

The watermelon-sized white light collided with the blue water python, immediately unleashing an earth-shattering roar. The blue water python's body suddenly exploded, turning into countless water droplets.

One of the water droplets behind Ghost Fiend Cultivator glowed with a dazzling blue light. After blurring, it transformed into Wang Changsheng's figure, a Water Escape technique.

Wang Changsheng, holding the Great Expanse Spirit-Slaying Blade, had a face full of murderous intent.

The tip of the Great Expanse Spirit-Slaying Blade glowed with a dazzling white light, turning white and emitting wisps of cold qi. The blade had been refined with a small piece of ten-thousand-year profound jade, greatly increasing its power.

Wang Changsheng gripped the Great Expanse Spirit-Slaying Blade with both hands and slashed towards Ghost Fiend Cultivator's head.

Ghost Fiend Cultivator was scared half to death and tried to evade, but the river water beneath him lit up with nine dazzling blue lights—the Sea-Stabilizing Beads. The gravitational force intensified greatly, preventing him from even bending his fingers. He tried to control the white bone bird to attack Wang Changsheng, but the white bone bird was also affected by the gravity.

A dazzling black light flared on his body, and a battle armor formed from countless white bones appeared out of thin air on him. The surface of the white bone armor bore a fearsome ghost pattern.

It was the Ten Thousand Bone Body Protection spiritual art, where each bone had been tempered with yin qi for over a hundred years. Its defensive power was even stronger than a defensive magic treasure.

The longer the bones were tempered with yin qi and the greater their number, the stronger their defensive capability.

With a muffled sound, the blade of the Great Expanse Spirit-Slaying Blade struck Ghost Fiend Cultivator's neck, but it was blocked by the white bones covering his neck.

Wang Changsheng let out a cold laugh, injecting his surging magical power into the Great Expanse Spirit-Slaying Blade. Wisps of white cold qi gushed from the blade tip, and Ghost Fiend Cultivator's body froze at a visible rate, turning into an ice sculpture.

With a flash of golden light, the blade tip changed from white to gold.

Wang Changsheng raised the Great Expanse Spirit-Slaying Blade high and struck at the ice sculpture.

Boom! The ice shattered, and the Great Expanse Spirit-Slaying Blade struck the white bone armor. The spot where it hit instantly tore open, but Ghost Fiend Cultivator remained completely unharmed.

Wails and howls intensified as a large burst of white light flew from the bone armor, instantly piercing Wang Changsheng's body. Wang Changsheng transformed into wisps of water vapor and vanished.

Almost simultaneously, a fervent zither sound rang out, and a hundred-zhang-long blue sound wave appeared without warning before Ghost Fiend Cultivator, swiftly sweeping across his body.

A tragic scream echoed. Ghost Fiend Cultivator's gaze became vacant. Though there were no external injuries on his body, his internal organs were all shattered.

The white bone bird flew back to a cloth pouch at his waist. A miniature Nascent Soul flew out from Ghost Fiend Cultivator's body, its tiny face filled with terror.

The nine Sea-Stabilizing Beads at the riverbed glowed brightly, and the gravitational force increased dramatically, making it impossible for the miniature Nascent Soul to move an inch. A small azure pagoda descended from the sky, emitting a stream of azure light that collected the miniature Nascent Soul.

From the moment Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan made their move until they eliminated Ghost Fiend Cultivator, less than five breaths passed. Their coordination had become increasingly skillful.

Ghost Fiend Cultivator was merely at the early Nascent Soul stage. He had been pursued by two Nascent Soul cultivators and had little magical power remaining, making him no match for Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

The giant skull's spiritual light dimmed, and it fell to the ground.

Chen Hongguang and the white-haired old woman were dumbfounded. They had heard that the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple possessed extraordinary strength, but seeing Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan deal with Ghost Fiend Cultivator so effortlessly still left them greatly shocked.

At this moment, Wang Changsheng put away his magic treasures, collected the Ghost Fiend Cultivator's belongings, and also stored away the corpse.

Since advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, this was their first encounter with a Nascent Soul-stage ghost cultivator, and also their first time eliminating one.
