Chapter 1643: Reinforcements Arrive

Just then, a rapid ringing sounded in his ears, as if someone was striking his head with a heavy hammer, causing intense pain.

Qin Tianyan's features contorted. Above his head, ripples spread through the air, and a giant blue palm, over ten zhang in size, materialized out of nowhere. Its surface crackled with numerous blue electric arcs.

The giant blue palm swiftly struck down. Qin Tianyan let out a painful shriek as his body rapidly plummeted towards the ground.

Before he even landed, a gleaming golden humanoid puppet beast leaped up. This puppet beast was clearly a fourth-tier creature, holding a golden polearm in its left hand, which it swung towards Qin Tianyan.

Terrified, Qin Tianyan fanned his crimson feather fan towards the humanoid puppet beast. Rolling flames surged forth, striking the puppet.

Boom! After a loud bang, the surging flames enveloped the humanoid puppet beast's body.

Just then, a shimmering blue sound wave shot over, about to hit Qin Tianyan. As he was about to evade, a rapid ringing sound once again assaulted his ears, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

The blue sound wave struck Qin Tianyan. His face flushed crimson, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood, his body flying backward, looking pale.

Nearby, faint blue lights flickered in the void. With a flash of blue, Wang Changsheng's figure appeared.

Wang Changsheng held the Grand Expanse Soul-Slaying Blade in his right hand and the Soul-Seizing Bell in his left.

The tip of the Grand Expanse Soul-Slaying Blade had turned golden, gleaming brightly and incredibly sharp, as it swung towards Qin Tianyan's head.

Qin Tianyan was scared out of his wits. He wasn't a body cultivator; his physical body couldn't withstand a magical artifact's attack.

A dazzling red light glowed on his body, and a formidable red battle armor materialized out of thin air, covering him completely.

Clang! With a dull thud, the tip of the Grand Expanse Soul-Slaying Blade was blocked by the red battle armor.

Qin Tianyan attempted to unleash the Southern Blazing Fire Talisman he held, but the Soul-Seizing Bell in Wang Changsheng's hand flared with light, emitting a loud ringing.

Qin Tianyan's gaze became dull. Seizing this opportunity, Wang Changsheng flicked his wrist, and the Grand Expanse Soul-Slaying Blade flew from his hand, striking towards Jin Wushuang.

Wang Changsheng's right fist flared with dazzling blue light as he slammed it towards Qin Tianyan's heart.

With a dull thud, Qin Tianyan's body rapidly plunged towards the ground.

Wang Changsheng's right hand seized the Southern Blazing Fire Talisman and placed it into his storage pearl.

Just then, Qin Tianyan's body transformed into points of firelight and vanished.

The next moment, a flash of firelight appeared a hundred zhang behind Wang Changsheng, revealing Qin Tianyan's figure.

Qin Tianyan's face was pale and filled with malevolence. Had he not possessed a substitute treasure, he would have long been dead. A substitute treasure could only be used once, so if Qin Tianyan were killed again, he would truly perish.

Wang Changsheng realized something was wrong. Before he could evade, a golden ray of light descended from the sky, engulfing his body. Wang Changsheng froze in mid-air, unmoving, as if held in place.

A loud phoenix cry echoed. A red phoenix pattern appeared on the crimson feather fan in Qin Tianyan's hand, and he gently fanned it towards Wang Changsheng.

With a flash of red light, a vast crimson fire cloud surged out, striking Wang Changsheng.

Boom! A wave of crimson flames engulfed Wang Changsheng's figure, sending scorching heat waves soaring.

Qin Tianyan flipped his palm, revealing seven gleaming red flying needles. With a gentle blow, the seven red needles shot out, plunging into the sea of fire, producing dull "clinking" sounds, as if they had struck an impenetrable copper wall.

A dazzling white glow rose from the ground, striking the fierce flames. The flames rapidly extinguished, transforming into an ice sculpture over ten zhang in size.

Qin Tianyan conjured a gleaming red short halberd and swung it towards the ice sculpture.

Just then, faint blue lights glowed in the void, and the Five Elements Talisman Soldiers appeared, blocking the ice sculpture.

The red short halberd struck the Five Elements Talisman Soldiers, emitting a dull thud.

Boom! The ice sculpture shattered, and Wang Changsheng broke free. His face was slightly pale, and his Dharma robe was tattered. The spiritual treasure's power was immense, leaving him with minor injuries.

The moment he appeared, a white light shone in the void above his head, transforming into a white brick.

The white brick rapidly expanded, becoming the size of a small mountain, emanating bone-chilling cold.

Wang Changsheng tried to evade, but the white brick emitted a stream of white light that enveloped his entire body. He felt as if he were in a ten-thousand-year-old ice cave and couldn't help but shiver.

The giant white brick swiftly descended, crashing towards Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng landed quickly, his feet sinking into the ice layer, his face flushed crimson.

Two gleaming white short halberds shot over, striking Wang Changsheng's feet, producing a dull thud. Blood streamed continuously from his feet.

A bone-chilling aura emanated from the ground, surging directly towards Wang Changsheng.

Just then, Wang Changsheng's aura surged. Veins bulged on his hands as he forcefully pushed upward, sending the giant white brick flying. His fists glowed with dazzling blue light as he slammed them towards the white brick.

After dull 'thudding' sounds, the white giant brick flew backward, with several small cracks appearing on its bottom.

Hissing sounds of tearing air filled the surroundings as thousands of white ice blades struck, one after another, impacting Wang Changsheng's body with dull thuds.

Wang Changsheng's body was covered in wounds, bleeding profusely, making him look somewhat disheveled, but his injuries were not severe.

A crimson fire cloud several miles wide descended from the sky, crashing towards Wang Changsheng.

Countless thick white ice ropes burst from the ice, coiling around Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng couldn't evade in time; his feet were entangled by two white ice ropes, and the crimson fire cloud crashed onto him.

Boom! A massive crimson sun suddenly blazed to life, engulfing an area of over ten li. Large quantities of ice vaporized, sending plumes of white smoke billowing.

The next moment, a blue light shot out from within the crimson sun. Wang Changsheng emerged, wearing a shimmering blue inner armor, his body charred black, covered in wounds and bleeding profusely, his eyebrows singed off. He looked utterly disheveled.

Above the glacier, a golden light suddenly flared, and a dazzling golden sunbeam drifted in. Wang Ruyan was surprised to find that the formation had been broken.

A golden crow with emerald green eyes descended from the sky, landing in front of Wang Ruyan. Gongsun Yang sat on the golden crow's back, his expression indifferent, holding a gleaming golden banner from which wisps of golden flame emerged.

He had already advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage. Wang Ruyan wasn't surprised, as he was, after all, the future successor of Ten Thousand Beast Island.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Wang, are you alright?" Gongsun Yang asked, his gaze grim.

The Twin Sages of Sun and Moon and the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple were both formidable Nascent Soul cultivators in the South Sea immortal cultivation world. With six Nascent Soul cultivators dispatched from the Heavenly Lan Realm to deal with the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple, the experts from the Eastern Fence Realm would not stand idly by.

Wang Changsheng took out a Dharma robe and put it on, shaking his head. "We are fine, thank you, Fellow Daoist Gongsun."

They had gained a great advantage, suffering only a minor setback.

They had deployed a fourth-tier puppet beast, talisman soldiers, spiritual insects, along with the Pure Dust Flute, Soul-Seizing Bell, and eighteen Sea-Stabilizing Beads. Only with these could they contend with their enemies for so long. Most importantly, Long Yun had been affected by an illusion, tying down Jin Wushuang, and Lu Feng had been injured by Long Yun. This left Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan to face Qin Tianyan alone.

Long Yun and his three companions had originally intended to control the formation to deal with Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. However, the defense of the eighteen Sea-Stabilizing Beads was too formidable, and their delay in breaking it gave Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan an opportunity.

If Qin Tianyan had used the fifth-tier Southern Blazing Fire Talisman immediately, the outcome would have been entirely different. However, fifth-tier talismans were too precious; Qin Tianyan kept it as a life-saving measure. Given that it was a four-on-two fight, and they held the advantage, he chose not to use the fifth-tier talisman.

A piercing roar sounded as the crimson flood dragon suddenly regained consciousness and ceased attacking Jin Wushuang.
