Chapter 2145: Wang Ruyan Shows Power, The Terrifying Composite Cultivator's Clone

Within the Profound Spirit Cave Abode, a vast and boundless dense forest stretched out. Faintly, a series of huge explosions could be heard, and in the distance, a massive red mushroom cloud suddenly billowed up.

Deep within the dense forest, an open clearing lay revealed. Towering ancient trees had been snapped in half, and countless wood splinters flew everywhere.

The ground was riddled with craters, featuring over a hundred steaming giant pits.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were panting, covered in dust and dirt, and looked utterly battered.

Wang Changsheng held a shimmering formation disk in his hand, actively manipulating it.

A fist-sized blood-hole marred Wang Changsheng's left shoulder, and his back was stained red with blood. His face was pale, veins protruding. Wang Ruyan had some brownish bloodstains at the corner of her mouth, her face was bloodless, and a fist-sized blood-hole pierced her right chest.

Wang Ruyan held the Red Dust Flute and was playing it, cheerful melodies emanating from the flute.

Five corpses lay on the ground, along with some red scales.

Mu Yaoyao and Yan Linlang's eyes were fanatic as they frantically attacked Su Yuntao, with explosions echoing continuously.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had been pursued by multiple Spirit Transformation cultivators. They fought desperately to break through the encirclement, at the cost of two fifth-tier puppet beasts and a fifth-tier talismanic soldier being destroyed. Even so, they were severely wounded.

“Fellow Daoist Wang,” Mu Yaoyao said coldly, “if you don’t want to die, hand over the Profound Heaven Item.” Her fifth-tier spiritual flame could freeze everything, including Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures, causing them to lose most of their spiritual essence, though it was not comparable to the water of the Styx.

“Are you insane?” Su Yuntao shouted loudly. “I am not him! You’ve got the wrong person!”

Su Yuntao shouted loudly. The Sky Beast Banner had been destroyed by Wang Changsheng using the Underworld Moon Pearl.

Mu Yaoyao ignored him. She formed a hand seal, and five white banners glowed brightly, transforming into a massive white fiery cloud that emitted bone-chilling coldness. The ground instantly froze, and the ice spread rapidly.

The white fiery cloud shot straight towards Su Yuntao. Su Yuntao's body erupted in red light, transforming into a red flood dragon hundreds of feet long, and it lunged forward.

The white fiery cloud was torn to shreds by the red flood dragon. However, soon after, a white ice phoenix swooped down. As the red flood dragon was about to dodge, thousands of thick green vines suddenly burst from the ground, instantly coiling around its body.

Rolling flames erupted around the red flood dragon, burning through all the green vines.

A massive golden hand materialized out of thin air, striking the red flood dragon. The red flood dragon let out a pained shriek and plummeted from high in the sky.

A shimmering golden net materialized out of thin air, enveloping the red flood dragon.

As the white ice phoenix descended from the sky, the red flood dragon suddenly radiated a dazzling azure light, transforming into a colossal azure roc. The azure roc flapped its wings gently and instantly vanished.

“The Hundred Beasts Art!”

Wang Changsheng frowned. The Myriad Spirit Sect possessed a cultivation art called the “Hundred Beasts Art,” which allowed cultivators to transform into various demonic beast forms and unleash different divine abilities.

As far as he knew, such transformation techniques heavily consumed spiritual power. It seemed Su Yuntao was truly desperate.

Wang Changsheng formed a hand seal, and the nine Sea-Calming Pearls instantly radiated brilliant blue light, gushing forth massive amounts of seawater to protect them.

The void above Mu Yaoyao's head rippled, and a colossal azure roc suddenly appeared, its claws aimed at Mu Yaoyao's head.

Normally, Mu Yaoyao would naturally be able to dodge, but now she was under Wang Ruyan's illusion technique, and her reactions were far slower than before.

A pained shriek rang out as Mu Yaoyao's head was smashed to smithereens by the azure roc's sharp claws, and red and white matter splattered everywhere.

A constantly glowing azure alms bowl suddenly appeared above the azure roc. The surface of the azure alms bowl had some flame patterns. With a flash of azure light, the alms bowl spewed forth a stream of azure flames, engulfing the azure roc.

A vast expanse of shimmering blue sound waves swept over, instantly passing through the sea of flames. A large number of blood-stained azure feathers fell off.

A fierce gust of wind suddenly rose within the flames, causing the azure flames to suddenly dissipate, and the azure roc vanished.

The next moment, several miles away, the azure roc suddenly reappeared.

The azure roc's body radiated brilliant azure light. It let out a piercing shriek, flapped its wings, and stirred up a fierce gale. Within a hundred-mile radius, shimmering azure hurricanes suddenly appeared, rushing towards Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan from all directions.

The flute music became more melodious. Yan Linlang formed a hand seal, and countless green vines grew from the ground, quickly weaving into a massive green cage that shielded Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan inside.

With a thunderous roar, the dense azure hurricanes struck the green cage, shattering it into pieces. Layers of water curtains then rose to block the onslaught.

The azure roc still intended to unleash other attacks, but the flute music became even more urgent, and a massive shimmering blue hand materialized out of thin air, striking the azure roc.

With a muffled thud, the azure roc plummeted from high in the sky. A blue sound wave swept over, passing through its body, causing a large number of feathers to fall off, leaving the azure roc covered in blood.

With a flash of azure light, the azure roc transformed into human form. Su Yuntao was panting, covered in blood, and his face was flushed crimson.

If it were a one-on-one fight, he would not fear Wang Changsheng. However, Wang Ruyan's illusion technique caught him off guard; had his true form been present, he would have disregarded it entirely.

He took a deep breath, and the illusory figures of flood dragons, phoenixes, birds, and insects suddenly appeared on his body, greatly intensifying his aura. He then pointed his right index finger at Wang Changsheng.

A piercing whooshing sound rang out as a finger-wind shot forth, instantly reaching the blue water curtain. A blue sound wave flew out but was instantly shattered by the finger-wind.

The finger-wind pierced into the blue water curtain, and a muffled groan was heard.

A deafening roar of thunder came from high in the sky as a mass of blue thunderclouds suddenly appeared high above, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling.

At the same time, the flute music became even more urgent.

Su Yuntao felt his vital energy surge, his mind in a daze, and the environment before him constantly changing. He dared not linger and transformed into a streak of light, vanishing into the air.

Just then, a deafening roar from a man rang out, and Su Yuntao suddenly stopped.

A nine-colored arrow shot out from the blue water curtain, piercing through Su Yuntao's body. However, soon after, Su Yuntao's escape speed greatly increased, and he vanished into the horizon.

The blue water curtain dissipated, revealing Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. A horrific blood-hole appeared on Wang Changsheng's right shoulder, with blood flowing incessantly. The Qilin Turtle lay beside Wang Changsheng, while Yan Linlang lay on the ground with a horrific blood-hole in her chest.

A shimmering azure shield lay scattered near Yan Linlang, its surface marred by a hole.

Even with her defensive treasure, Yan Linlang could not block Su Yuntao's attack, which showed how terrifying Su Yuntao was. This secret technique consumed a significant amount of spiritual power; otherwise, Su Yuntao would not have fled.

Mu Yaoyao's physical body had been destroyed by Su Yuntao, her Nascent Soul annihilated by the hurricane, and her fifth-tier spiritual flame became an ownerless item.

Wang Changsheng collected the scattered treasures and the fifth-tier spiritual flame from the ground. He gazed into the distant void and said with a cold expression, “Senior Martial Sister Ma, since you’re already here, why haven’t you shown yourself?”

During the chaotic battle, the Ascension Faction desperately intercepted other Spirit Transformation cultivators, while the Local Faction completely ignored them, standing by idly. Otherwise, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan would not have been severely wounded.
