Chapter 2071: Divine Powers Astonishing, Chen Hong Talks Peace

Numerous silver electric arcs emerged from his body, and the azure flames on him suddenly dispersed. However, his aura also weakened, and he appeared to be severely injured.

Wang Mengbin flipped his right hand, and a silver light flashed. A shimmering silver talisman appeared in his hand. The talisman had a small knife pattern on its surface, and its astonishing spiritual energy clearly indicated it was a fifth-tier talisman.

Before heading to the Eastern Glade Realm, Wang Changsheng had given Wang Mengbin a fifth-tier talisman, but he had already used it. This Profound Light Demon-Slaying Talisman was one Wang Changsheng had given to Cheng Zhenyu.

Wang Mengbin had long anticipated that Deng Tianxin might come looking for him again. He mentioned this to Cheng Zhenyu, who, without the slightest hesitation, immediately gave the fifth-tier talisman to Wang Mengbin.

A cold glint flashed in Wang Mengbin's eyes. He gently shook his wrist and performed a hand seal. The Profound Light Demon-Slaying Talisman immediately erupted with dazzling silver light, transforming into a massive silver blade over a hundred zhang long. Silver light flowed across its surface like a silver full moon, emanating an aura of world-shattering destruction.

With a whoosh, the massive silver blade transformed into a brilliant silver beam. It descended like a meteor, tearing through the air and emitting ear-piercing roars, leaving a bright white trail in its wake.

The silver light plunged into the sea of lightning, and a dull thud, like metal striking metal, rang out, as if it had struck an impenetrable fortress.

Three streaks of light flew out from the sea of lightning. Chen Hong and the other two had wary expressions in their eyes, and Deng Tianxin had a fist-sized, charred wound on his left chest.

While the Golden Tortoise Umbrella and the Profound Light Soul-Transforming Talisman countered lightning-attribute Dao techniques, the Violet-Gold True Lightning was not ordinary lightning power, and it still managed to injure Deng Tianxin.

Wang Mengbin was also injured; neither side gained a significant advantage.

Deng Tianxin stood with the old man in azure robes, who had a solemn expression.

The old man in azure robes performed a hand seal, and his azure round bowl spewed forth billowing azure flames, transforming into an endless river of azure fire. Carrying terrifying high temperatures, it surged straight towards Wang Mengbin.

Chen Hong and Deng Tianxin also manipulated their treasures to attack Wang Mengbin, seemingly intent on killing him.

Wang Mengbin performed a hand seal, and countless silver runes emerged around him. After blurring, they transformed into thousands of silver lightning orbs. The thunderclouds high above rolled violently, forming three silver lightning dragons over a hundred zhang long. They charged directly at Deng Tianxin and the two others, with the thousands of silver lightning orbs following closely behind.

For a moment, deafening roars erupted. Dazzling lightning illuminated the area for a thousand li, thunder rumbled, and fierce winds howled past. Rocks cracked and trees snapped, as if it were the end of the world.

Deng Tianxin wielded a small golden axe, releasing hundreds of massive golden axe blades, which shattered one of the silver lightning dragons. The old man in azure robes performed a hand seal, and dense azure sand gathered, forming countless azure arrows, which dispersed another silver lightning dragon.

"Fellow Daoist Deng, Fellow Daoist Lin, be careful!" Chen Hong's urgent voice suddenly rang out.

No sooner had her voice fallen than a silver lightning glow illuminated the void behind them. Wang Mengbin emerged, with a pair of lightning-shrouded wings on his back.

As soon as Wang Mengbin appeared, he opened his mouth and spat out two thin streaks of violet-gold lightning that shot straight towards Deng Tianxin and the old man in azure robes.

With a muffled sound, their protective spiritual light tore apart like thin paper. Both simultaneously let out agonizing screams, as two bloody holes appeared on their bodies.

A black orb shot over. Deng Tianxin reacted at this moment, swinging his small golden axe to release a large swath of dense golden axe blades that chopped towards the black orb.

With a muffled crack, the black orb burst open, and a large amount of bone-chilling black liquid splattered out.

Some black liquid splattered onto the old man in azure robes' arm and thigh, instantly freezing into black ice.

He frowned and performed a hand seal. A surge of azure flames emerged around him, but an astonishing scene unfolded: the azure flames, as if encountering their bane, extinguished upon contact with the black ice.

The old man in azure robes' body exploded, and a miniature Nascent Soul flew out from his body. Deng Tianxin also self-detonated his physical body, and his Nascent Soul flew out.

As soon as their Nascent Souls left their bodies, two silver lightning nets descended from the sky, covering them. They rapidly contracted, encasing the souls into two spheres, which then flew back into Wang Mengbin's hand.

With their physical bodies destroyed, all their magic treasures lost control and fell.

Wang Mengbin turned his head to look at Chen Hong, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, this is a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding," Chen Hong hastily explained, her expression panicked. "I was merely acting on orders." She was well aware of her companions' divine abilities, yet they couldn't block the black liquid, not even with their spiritual treasures.

Chen Hong performed a hand seal, and the Azure Cloud Pagoda flew back, floating above her head.

Two streaks of light flew over. One of them was Zhong Yunxiu; the other was an elderly woman in golden robes with a wrinkled face. The golden-robed old woman was also at the early Spirit Transformation stage, and her aura was slightly stronger than Zhong Yunxiu's.

Zhong Yunxiu's face was pale, as she had expended a lot of spiritual energy to escape.

"Madam Chen, where are Fellow Daoist Lin and Fellow Daoist Deng?" the golden-robed old woman asked with a frown, a bad feeling rising in her heart.

"Their physical bodies have been destroyed by me," Wang Mengbin said coldly. "Now it's your turn." A deafening roar of thunder came from high above. A massive thundercloud suddenly appeared in the sky, rolling violently and rapidly expanding in size.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, stop!" Chen Hong hastily called out, her expression urgent. "We can talk about this." A cornered dog will jump over a wall. Wang Mengbin had managed to kill Deng Tianxin and the other person, and perhaps he could kill her too. It wasn't that she feared Wang Mengbin, but there was no need for such an outcome.

"What? He killed Fellow Daoist Deng and Fellow Daoist Lin?" The golden-robed old woman was dumbfounded, an expression of disbelief on her face.

Zhong Yunxiu's beautiful eyes were full of surprise. She knew Wang Mengbin's divine abilities were not weak, but she hadn't expected him to be able to fight one against three and kill two opponents.

The Underworld Moon Orb was instrumental in Wang Mengbin's ability to slay Deng Tianxin and his companion. He still possessed another Underworld Moon Orb, which Cheng Zhenyu had given him.

"Talk about this? How can we talk about this?" Wang Mengbin sneered, holding a black orb in his hand. "Are we going to shake hands and make peace?"

Chen Hong shivered and quickly transmitted a message: "Our ancestors in the Profound Sun Realm ordered us to assist Fellow Daoist Deng in recovering the Heavenly Void Jade Book. Fellow Daoist Wang, hand over the Heavenly Void Jade Book, and then we can ascend to the Profound Sun Realm together. You can refuse, but unless you never ascend, once you do, you will be hunted down. Your name and image have already been sent to our ancestors in the Profound Sun Realm, and the Deng family should have also received similar instructions."

Wang Mengbin frowned. He didn't know if the other party was telling the truth, and he wasn't naive enough to believe their words.

If it were true, wouldn't his ascension to the Profound Sun Realm be walking straight into a trap? Could handing over the Heavenly Void Jade Book truly guarantee his safety? If he were an ancestor of the Azure Cloud Palace and the Deng family in the Profound Sun Realm, he would certainly not let this person go. Only dead men could keep secrets.

He still had an Underworld Moon Orb in his hand. Chen Hong possessed many treasures, making it somewhat difficult to kill her. What was even more troublesome was that the Azure Cloud Palace also had Liu鸿基, a cultivator at the mid-Spirit Transformation stage.
