Chapter 1824: Zhao Qianfeng's Might

Gongsun Yang took out a pale golden folding fan, which radiated a powerful fire spiritual energy fluctuation. This was a spirit treasure.

He fanned it lightly, and countless golden runes lit up on the surface of the golden fan. A golden flame swept out, striking Zhao Shengkai with a staggering heatwave.

A loud bang!

With a loud bang, billowing flames engulfed Zhao Shengkai.

The next moment, a pair of pitch-black sharp claws reached out towards the golden light barrier.

With a muffled thud, the golden light barrier shattered abruptly. Zhao Shengkai's claws struck Gongsun Yang's back, producing a muffled sound and scattering sparks.

Gongsun Yang was wearing a shimmering red inner armor, which now had several obvious scratches on its surface. He broke out in a cold sweat, having long heard from True Monarch Qianhu that the demon race was incredibly powerful, with strong demons capable of ripping flood dragons apart with their bare hands.

Gongsun Yang flickered, abruptly appearing a hundred zhang away, his face etched with wariness.

He quickly waved the golden folding fan, unleashing billows of flames to protect himself. This was not enough; the Ice-Fire Flood Dragon flew towards him, circling uncertainly above his head.

Situ Mei was ecstatic, planning to team up with Zhao Shengkai to kill Gongsun Yang. Just then, a deafening dragon roar resounded.

Startled, Zhao Shengkai shuddered, then flickered and vanished, transforming into a murky gray gale.

Situ Mei felt a tug and was abruptly pulled backward.

Gongsun Yang was stunned. Who could possibly instill such fear in a mid-stage Soul Transformation demon?

Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Liu Ruyi flew over. Seeing Gongsun Yang, Wang Changsheng asked, "Fellow Daoist Gongsun, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. That mid-stage Soul Transformation demon ran away before you even arrived."

Gongsun Yang's expression was peculiar. The demon race was powerful; they wouldn't be at a disadvantage in a one-on-one fight. Yet, mid-stage Soul Transformation demons were extremely fearful of the Green Lotus Immortal Couple. He wouldn't have believed it had he not witnessed it firsthand.

"No worries. Let's go support Fellow Daoist Shangguan and the others! As long as Fellow Daoist Shangguan secures victory, this conflict will be resolved."

Wang Changsheng explained, then formed a hand seal. The Green Lotus Dharma Throne erupted in dazzling green light and flew towards the sky. Liu Ruyi followed closely; she dared not stay too far from the Green Lotus Immortal Couple. All things are interconnected, with strengths and weaknesses, and the Green Lotus Immortal Couple possessed methods to counter the demon race. Her sect's prized treasure had even been destroyed by the demons, so she dared not act independently.

A deafening peal of thunder resounded, and a massive silver pillar of light streaked across the sky, striking the ground below.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were alarmed and accelerated their evasion speed.

Not long after, they stopped, their expressions growing increasingly grim.

Lei Yunbin's left arm was missing. Shangguan Tianhong's face was pale but unscathed. Hu Yunxiao was missing. Jiaolin had transformed into a merperson, standing in a vast ocean, many of his scales had fallen off, leaving him bleeding profusely. True Monarch Qianhu had a gaping bloody wound on his left chest, his face utterly pale.

The demon race was truly monstrous; Zhao Qianfeng's supernatural abilities surpassed their imagination.

Hu Yunxiao had been killed by Zhao Qianfeng. It was too humiliating that even with five against one, Zhao Qianfeng had still managed to kill one of them.

Shangguan Tianhong's gaze was grim. Zhao Qianfeng possessed several Heavenly Demon Treasures, and combined with his terrifying evasion speed and stealth techniques, they had gained no advantage and suffered a massive loss. Hu Yunxiao had been killed by Zhao Qianfeng.

A massive thundercloud, spanning a hundred li, loomed high in the sky. Silver lightning bolts flashed and boomed, crashing down into a sea of thunder, with continuous roars.

A sound, neither beastly nor ghostly, rang out. Shangguan Tianhong's expression remained unchanged, but Lei Yunbin, True Monarch Qianhu, and Jiaolin's faces turned pale, their features twisted in agony.

This was Zhao Qianfeng using a Heavenly Demon Treasure to unleash a soul attack. Only Shangguan Tianhong possessed a magical treasure to defend against such attacks.

A gust of wind swept behind Lei Yunbin, and a monster materialized. The monster had a humanoid body with bird wings and a two-chi-long black horn on its head.

The monster had a green face and fangs, its gaping maw revealing a row of sharp teeth.

Its body was riddled with bloodstains, many feathers had fallen off, revealing exposed bone in places. A charred odor emanated from it.

From the monster's face, it was faintly recognizable as Zhao Qianfeng.

A dark beam of light suddenly shot from the black horn on its head, striking Lei Yunbin's protective spiritual barrier with precision, causing the barrier to instantly dim.

Zhao Qianfeng's claws transformed into blades, lashing out at Lei Yunbin's head. Countless silver electric arcs surged from Lei Yunbin's body, striking Zhao Qianfeng in succession.

With rumbling thuds, blinding lightning engulfed Zhao Qianfeng, and a shriek emanated from within.

The next moment, a pair of inky black claws suddenly shot out from the lightning, instantly piercing through Lei Yunbin's protective spiritual barrier and then his head.

A silver light flashed, and a miniature Nascent Soul flew out.

Zhao Qianfeng opened his mouth, and a long black tongue shot out, piercing the miniature Nascent Soul with precision, then coiled it into his mouth, where it vanished.

A blue light suddenly flared above Zhao Qianfeng's head, and a blue jade bottle materialized. Its mouth pointed downwards, and a blue, misty chill surged out, lashing out at Zhao Qianfeng.

Zhao Qianfeng slammed his right arm upwards, and the blue chill completely dispersed. However, an Underworld Moon Pearl flew out from the dispersing cold, suddenly exploding. A large splash of Underworld Moon Water scattered, landing on Zhao Qianfeng's body.

Zhao Qianfeng froze at a rate visible to the naked eye, turning into a black ice sculpture.

A deafening dragon's roar resounded, and a golden axe-blade descended from the sky, striking the black ice sculpture with precision.

A loud bang!

With a loud bang, the black ice sculpture shattered into countless pieces, dissolving into countless black ice fragments.

Shangguan Tianhong sighed in relief. Zhao Qianfeng was finally dead; Lei Yunbin and Hu Yunxiao had not died in vain.

"Be careful, that was a phantom conjured by a talisman."

True Monarch Qianhu cautioned.

No sooner had he spoken, a dark light flared behind Jiaolin; it was indeed Zhao Qianfeng.

Zhao Qianfeng's right hand held a shimmering dark great hammer. The hammer was uneven and riddled with hack marks, radiating a terrifying magical power fluctuation. His left hand held a palm-sized black bell, etched with several ferocious ghostly figures.

The black great hammer and the black bell were both Heavenly Demon Treasures: the Spirit-Slaying Hammer and the Soul-Annihilating Bell.

The Spirit-Slaying Hammer in his hand erupted with blinding dark light, smashing towards Jiaolin's head.

Jiaolin broke out in a cold sweat. The seawater beneath him violently churned, transforming into layers of blue water barriers that shielded his entire body.

A loud bang!

With a loud bang, the blue water barrier was shattered to fragments by the Spirit-Slaying Hammer. Jiaolin was struck by the Spirit-Slaying Hammer and vanished abruptly into specks of blue light.

Zhao Qianfeng frowned. Jiaolin was proficient in water-element supernatural abilities, making him genuinely difficult to kill. He dared not approach Shangguan Tianhong, who had too many magical treasures at his disposal.

"Impossible, I just observed it with the spirit treasure, the Golden Guardian Orb. The one just now was clearly genuine."

Shangguan Tianhong's face was filled with shock. He was holding a glowing golden orb in his hand. This was a spirit treasure capable of seeing through most illusions.
