Chapter 1829

Wang Changsheng frowned at this sight. It appeared this demon beast, capable of destroying a fifth-tier Ice-Fire Flood Dragon, could also naturally destroy the fifth-tier flood dragons summoned by the Nine Flood Dragon Drum.

A golden light suddenly shone above the Bloodthirsty Demonic Ape's head, as a shimmering golden brick materialized out of thin air. It was clearly a spirit treasure.

Gongsun Yang made a hand seal, and the golden brick immediately radiated blinding golden light, rapidly expanding to cover several miles in circumference. It then plummeted downwards with immense force.

Before the massive golden brick even landed, a powerful wave of air rushed forth, tearing open the ground and instantly splintering towering trees into countless wood chips.

Boom! With a deafening crash, the massive golden brick crushed over a dozen mountaintops, sending dust flying.

A hint of joy appeared on Gongsun Yang's face. Even a fifth-tier demon beast would be hard-pressed to survive a direct hit from such a heavy spirit treasure.

Just then, the massive golden brick shook violently, and fine cracks appeared on its surface.

"Impossible, it was clearly..." Before Gongsun Yang could finish speaking, the cracks on the golden brick's surface rapidly spread, causing it to shatter into pieces and fall to the ground as scrap metal.

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Ape's body was enveloped in a shroud of bloody flames, resembling a blood fiend.

"Fellow Daoist Wang," Shangguan Tianhong transmitted, his voice heavy, "deploy your spiritual sense attacks to assist us in slaying the demonic race. If that doesn't work, we'll use a formation to trap them, and you can then activate the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure to eliminate them with sound waves."

The demonic race possesses powerful physical bodies; a full-power attack from a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure might not be enough to kill them, and the treasure could even be easily destroyed.

The demonic race is formidable; a direct assault might not work, so we can only rely on strategy.

Unless the demonic race also possesses treasures that counter sound wave attacks, they will absolutely not be able to withstand the Nine Flood Dragon Drum's assault.

Gongsun Yang's expression turned grim. Without his Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, his strength was greatly diminished, and a few spirit treasures alone would be no match for the demonic race.

"To kill them, we must first trap them," Wang Changsheng transmitted in reply. "If we let them escape, there will be endless trouble."

If the demonic race escapes, even the strongest sound wave attacks would be useless.

Shangguan Tianhong nodded. He transmitted messages to the others, coordinating their strategy and reaching a consensus: first, they would eliminate the three fifth-tier demon beasts, then cooperate with the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple to kill Zhao Qianfeng and his two companions.

They naturally understood that the Nine Flood Dragon Drum possessed immense power and should be effective against the demonic race.

Given Gongsun Yang's prior example, none of them dared to use their Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures in close-quarters combat against the demonic race, to avoid suffering damage.

Playing to their strengths and avoiding weaknesses, they considered that while Jiao Lin had a strange treasure that countered sound wave attacks, the demonic race might not.

Deafening thunder rumbled from high in the sky, as streaks of black lightning descended, striking towards Wang Changsheng and his companions.

As soon as the black lightning came within a hundred zhang of Wang Changsheng and his companions, it was immediately shattered by a misty blue sound wave, turning into countless black electrical arcs.

True Monarch Thousand Gourd's hands glowed with dazzling green light as he pressed them to the ground. The ground shook violently, and numerous thorny green vines burst forth from the earth. These vines wove themselves into massive green hands, which then slapped towards the Bloodthirsty Demonic Ape and the Five-Headed Giant Python.

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Ape reacted quickly and dodged. One of the Five-Headed Giant Python's heads suddenly spewed a misty yellow radiance, enveloping the green hand. The green hand visibly petrified. With a sudden sweep of its tail, the Five-Headed Giant Python shattered the petrified green hand into countless fragments.

Zhao Qianfeng and his two companions exchanged glances and nodded. They then commanded the Bloodthirsty Demonic Ape, the Black Peacock, and the Five-Headed Giant Python to attack Wang Changsheng and his group. These three demon beasts possessed divine abilities that specifically countered spiritual cultivators, which was why Zhao Qianfeng's group had intentionally sacrificed Situ Mei and the others.

Shangguan Tianhong, Jiao Lin, Liu Ruyi, Gongsun Yang, True Monarch Thousand Gourd, Long Xiaoyao, Long Hanji, and Song Xiruo — the eight of them — spread out and attacked Zhao Qianfeng and his two companions.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan did not make a move, waiting for an opportune moment to cooperate with their companions in eliminating the demonic race.

Long Xiaoyao circled constantly in the sky, transforming into a misty green tornado. It was a thousand zhang tall and three hundred zhang in diameter, blotting out the sun and sky, resembling a malevolent dragon devouring all creation. Wherever the green tornado passed, mountains turned to dust, and towering trees vanished as if they had never existed.

Long Hanji's body blazed with fire, and surging flames erupted around her. She transformed into a massive crimson flood dragon, heading directly towards Zhao Qianfeng and his two companions.

In terms of physical strength alone, Long Hanji had no fear of the demonic race.

Gongsun Yang, Liu Ruyi, Song Xiruo, and True Monarch Thousand Gourd all made their moves, attacking Zhao Qianfeng and his two companions.

Countless blue lights suddenly emerged high in the sky. Soon, a vast azure sea abruptly appeared, looking from a distance as if the ocean hung upside down in the heavens. The seawater churned violently, suddenly transforming into an enormous blue hand. Amidst a deafening tsunami-like roar, the blue hand slammed towards the Black Peacock.

Before the blue hand even landed, a powerful gravitational force enveloped it. The Black Peacock's body stiffened, its wings became extremely difficult to flap, and its speed drastically decreased.

It let out a piercing screech, and black thunderclouds churned violently, forming a massive black thunder sparrow that met the blue hand.

Boom! The black thunder sparrow was shattered by the blue hand. The blue hand then struck the Black Peacock, sending it plummeting rapidly from the sky like a kite with a broken string.

Before it even hit the ground, a red light flared in the void, and Shangguan Tianhong materialized, gripping the Golden Flood Dragon Axe, his gaze cold.

Countless black electrical arcs erupted from the Black Peacock's body, shooting directly towards Shangguan Tianhong.

A massive bang resounded, as a black blazing sun materialized high in the sky, obscuring Shangguan Tianhong's figure.

A golden light suddenly shone within the black blazing sun, as an incredibly massive golden axe blade shot out without warning.

The Black Peacock's vision turned golden. The golden axe blade, like a golden maw devouring all creation, rushed towards it. It frantically flapped its wings, trying to dodge, but a muffled groan was heard, and the Black Peacock stood motionless, watching helplessly as the golden axe blade struck its body.

With a dull thud, the Black Peacock was sent flying backward. Its left wing was bleeding profusely, numerous feathers fell off, and its bones were faintly visible.

A golden light flashed, and a small golden cauldron appeared without warning above the Black Peacock's head. It was the Golden Turtle Cauldron.

The Golden Turtle Cauldron tilted downwards, and a vast amount of Underworld Moon Water poured out. The Black Peacock tried to dodge, but countless green vines suddenly burst from the ground, entangling its massive body.

As the Underworld Moon Water landed on its body, it visibly froze, turning into a black ice sculpture.

A golden axe blade descended from the sky, shattering the black ice sculpture into countless black ice fragments.

The black blazing sun dissipated, revealing Shangguan Tianhong's figure. He was unharmed, his eyes grim, but a hint of a smile played on his lips.

His joy didn't last long. Just then, a familiar, agonizing scream echoed, as the green tornado suddenly exploded, sending a disheveled figure flying backward.

Long Xiaoyao had a horrific gash on his left chest. Blood flowed ceaselessly, revealing bone, and a mass of demonic energy pulsed from the wound, continuously corroding his flesh.
