Chapter 1866: Lightly Eliminating Demons

Two Soul Transformation cultivators, accompanied by over ten Nascent Soul cultivators, journeyed without any obstacles.

Four days later, they arrived at the entrance of a massive valley, easily accessible from all directions.

Wang Changsheng clearly saw the Nine-Yang Golden Glaze Fruit Trees in the center of the valley. While there were originally over ten, only nine remained, indicating that the Seven-Colored Lizard had evidently consumed several of the fruits.

"Seniors Wang and Wang," True Lord Xuanling said, pointing to the valley with a tense expression, "the Seven-Colored Lizard is inside. It's adept at concealment techniques, making it very difficult to deal with."

"I understand," Wang Changsheng instructed. "You all retreat back to the mountain. We'll deal with the Seven-Colored Lizard, then you can come over." With a flick of his sleeve, a green light shot out, materializing into a green thorn bush—the Wood Demon. This Wood Demon, currently a mid-grade fourth-tier creature, immediately burrowed underground upon its appearance, slowly moving towards the Nine-Yang Golden Glaze Fruit Trees.

True Lord Xuanling and the other ten-plus Nascent Soul cultivators dared not linger. They quickly retreated to a safe distance, fearing they would be caught in the aftermath of the impending battle.

A piercing red light emanated from Wang Ruyan's brow as her Black Phoenix Divine Eye appeared. With its aid, she could clearly see the Seven-Colored Lizard pressed against a moss-covered rock wall to the left of the Nine-Yang Golden Glaze Fruit Trees. Without this divine eye, even with their divine sense, they would not have been able to detect the creature.

"Found it! It's on that rock wall," Wang Ruyan thought. Wang Changsheng looked towards the Seven-Colored Lizard's location, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent.

With a flick of his sleeve, Wang Changsheng sent seven blue lights shooting out, which blurred and disappeared. The next moment, ripples of water appeared near the Nine-Yang Golden Glaze Fruit Trees as seven shimmering blue banners materialized out of thin air—the set of spirit treasures known as the Overturning Sea Banners.

Wang Changsheng made a hand seal, and the surfaces of the seven Overturning Sea Banners glowed brightly. A misty vapor filled the air, and countless blue mists surged forth, causing the humidity to skyrocket. The seven Overturning Sea Banners spun around the Nine-Yang Golden Glaze Fruit Trees, forming a thick blue water curtain that enveloped them.

At this moment, the Seven-Colored Lizard still believed Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had not discovered it, remaining plastered to the rock wall.

Wang Changsheng wasted no words. With a flick of his sleeve, the Nine Flood Dragon Drum shot out, landing before him. His body erupted with dazzling blue light as his right fist, accompanied by a piercing whoosh, slammed into the drum.

A deafening dragon roar echoed, causing the void to tremble and distort. Nine miniature flood dragons continuously swam across the Nine Flood Dragon Drum's surface, as if alive. A misty blue sound wave swept out with extreme speed, surging directly towards the Seven-Colored Lizard's hiding place.

Wherever the blue sound wave passed, chunks of earth and stone shattered, and the weeds on the ground instantly turned into dust, as if they had never existed.

Even if the Seven-Colored Lizard were foolish, it would know the human cultivators had discovered it. Its body suddenly glowed with a dazzling yellow light as it prepared to burrow underground.

A muffled groan sounded, and the Seven-Colored Lizard's reaction stalled. The blue sound wave swiftly swept past its body. It let out a pained hiss, its massive body writhing incessantly as if enduring some unbearable agony.

With a thunderous roar, the rock wall where it was located suddenly shattered. Countless green thorns drilled out, weaving into a green net hundreds of feet wide, trapping it within.

The Seven-Colored Lizard opened its massive maw and tore at the green net. The net couldn't hold it at all and was shredded to pieces.

Just then, three more deafening dragon roars sounded consecutively. The nine miniature flood dragons on the Nine Flood Dragon Drum's surface moved even faster. Three misty blue sound waves swept out, instantly merging into one and heading straight for the Seven-Colored Lizard.

When True Lord Xuanling and the other Nascent Soul cultivators heard the dragon roars, their qi and blood churned violently, and their features contorted. Some clutched their chests, feeling as though their internal organs were about to shatter. They quickly retreated another thirty li before feeling significantly better.

The Seven-Colored Lizard was no exception; the combined roar of three flood dragons possessed immense power.

Having used the Nine Flood Dragon Drum multiple times, Wang Changsheng was now thoroughly familiar with its operation. The drum could release a single sound wave or multiple sound waves to harm enemies. The more sound waves released, the greater their combined power, though this also consumed more spiritual power. The 'Nine Flood Dragon Roar' could summon nine fifth-tier flood dragons or release nine sound waves that merged into one.

The blue sound wave swiftly swept through the valley. The cliffs on both sides of the valley suddenly split into pieces, turning into dust that filled the air. A gentle breeze blew, and the cliffs vanished.

The Seven-Colored Lizard was greatly alarmed and tried to evade, but countless green thorns drilled out from underground, coiling around its body. With a twist of its massive body, the green thorns were completely torn apart.

The blue sound wave also reached it, swiftly passing through its body. The rock wall where the Seven-Colored Lizard was located suddenly shattered, and smoke and dust billowed. Its massive body wriggled incessantly, emitting an extremely piercing roar, but Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan remained completely unaffected.

Wang Changsheng took out the Seven-Star Demon Slaying Blade and slashed at the Seven-Colored Lizard through the air. Countless blue mists surged forth, blurring into a massive, misty blade qi. As soon as the giant blade qi appeared, it instantly generated a fierce gale, tearing open the ground and creating a long crack that steadily widened.

The Seven-Colored Lizard let out an indignant roar, and its two eyes each shot out a red light, meeting the attack. After a thunderous crash, the two red lights collided with the giant blade qi, annihilating each other. A powerful energy wave was generated, causing the surrounding mountain peaks to explode into dust that flew everywhere. The blue water curtain covering the Nine-Yang Golden Glaze Fruit Trees distorted and deformed but quickly returned to normal.

Wang Ruyan was sent flying backward. Wang Changsheng's right fist erupted with dazzling blue light. Six deafening dragon roars sounded, and six misty sound waves swept out, instantly merging into one and heading straight for the Seven-Colored Lizard.

Wherever this blue sound wave passed, the ground shattered, and thick, long cracks appeared.

Fear appeared in the Seven-Colored Lizard's eyes as it tried to dodge, but an unbearable sharp pain struck its spiritual sea once more. By the time it regained its senses, the blue sound wave was already upon it.

With a thunderous roar, the ground where the Seven-Colored Lizard was located exploded, sending dust flying everywhere. An area of several li was shrouded in thick smoke and dust.

After a while, the smoke and dust dispersed. The Seven-Colored Lizard's massive body lay in a huge sand pit, its eyeballs shattered, and with no other external injuries, it had lost all signs of life.

A miniature Seven-Colored Lizard flew out of its body. A constantly shimmering green jade bottle descended from the sky, emitting a green glow and collecting the miniature Seven-Colored Lizard.

From the moment Wang Changsheng made his move until he killed the Seven-Colored Lizard, less than ten breaths passed. This was despite him testing the creature's endurance; if he had immediately struck the Nine Flood Dragon Drum nine times in a row, the Seven-Colored Lizard would have died even faster.

The Seven-Colored Lizard's strength was not particularly high; it excelled at concealment and earth-burrowing techniques. Wang Changsheng exterminated this demon with hardly any effort.

Its hide could be used to refine spirit treasures that conceal one's aura. Unfortunately, it was only a low-grade fifth-tier creature; if its rank had been higher, the resulting treasures would have had even better concealment effects.
