Chapter 2160: Lin Gui Displays Divine Power, Assists Wang Ruyan in Repelling the Beast Horde

A series of thunderous explosions rang out as blue lightning orbs burst one after another, transforming into countless blue electric arcs. Beasts below the third tier instantly turned to ash, while fourth-tier beasts were left with torn skin and mangled flesh.

The scaled turtle lifted its right claw and slammed it onto the ocean surface.

Suddenly, hundreds of massive whirlpools, each a thousand feet in diameter, appeared on the sea, spinning rapidly. A vast amount of seawater surged back, forming numerous water spouts resembling dragons, and the air filled with a piercing roar.

As a beast approached within a hundred feet of a giant whirlpool, it was abruptly sucked in. The rapidly swirling seawater, like countless blue blades, repeatedly struck their bodies, reducing them to shreds of flesh at a visible rate. Not even their souls could escape.

A sharp shriek echoed from high in the sky as a porcupine hawk-beast, with a wingspan of a hundred feet, descended. With a flap of its wings, countless green spines shot out like a meteor shower, heading straight for the scaled turtle.

At the same time, other fifth-tier beasts cast their spells, attacking the scaled turtle.

Flames, ice arrows, water blades, hurricanes—the scaled turtle didn’t try to evade. Its head and limbs retracted into its shell, leaving a giant turtle shell floating on the sea.

Dense magical attacks landed on the shell, producing a muffled popping sound like frying beans, and multicolored spiritual light engulfed the scaled turtle's form.

Wang Ruyan conjured a light blue guqin and began to play.

As a pleasant celestial melody sounded, waves of hazy blue sound waves swept out, heading towards the beast tide.

Dense blue sound waves passed over more than a dozen fourth-tier sea lions. They simultaneously let out tragic roars, then collapsed, floating motionless on the sea.

Their bodies showed no external wounds, but their internal organs had long been shattered by the sound waves.

With Wang Ruyan's cultivation at the perfected Soul Transformation stage, wielding a low-grade Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure, its power was naturally extraordinary; fourth-tier beasts simply couldn't withstand it.

Fifth-tier beasts fared a bit better, but as blue lightning orbs struck them, they let out miserable cries.

At this moment, the magical light dissipated, revealing a giant turtle shell floating on the sea, with no visible damage on its surface.

Five low-grade fifth-tier porcupine hawk-beasts swooped down from high in the sky, heading directly for the scaled turtle.

As soon as they approached within a hundred feet of the sea surface, hundreds of thick blue water ropes shot out from the seabed, wrapping around their claws or bodies like lightning.

They struggled violently, trying to snap the blue water ropes, but the ropes were endlessly replenishing and simply couldn't be broken.

Dozens of blue lightning orbs struck them, immediately tearing their skin and leaving their bodies mangled and bloody.

A rapid celestial melody rang out, and a hazy blue sound wave swept over their bodies. The wounds on their bodies expanded considerably, bleeding profusely, with bones faintly visible, and their resistance grew weaker and weaker.

Hundreds of blue lightning orbs struck, engulfing their bodies.

A thunderous roar echoed, and dazzling blue lightning consumed their forms.

After the lightning dissipated, the five porcupine hawk-beasts were bloody and mangled, their aura weak.

Despite such severe injuries, they were not dead yet, as they were fifth-tier beasts after all.

The sea churned violently, and tens of thousands of blue water arrows shot out, piercing the bodies of the five porcupine hawk-beasts without warning. This time, they ceased moving and perished.

The scaled turtle let out an angry roar, its body glowing with blue light. The hundreds of water spouts expanded dramatically in size and moved rapidly towards the beast horde.

Wherever the water spouts passed, large numbers of beasts were swept into them. The rapidly swirling water transformed into blue water blades, continuously striking these beasts.

Beasts below the fourth tier were directly pulverized into a bloody rain, and the water spouts turned blood-red, staining a vast area of the sea.

In the center of the beast horde, a blue whale twisted its enormous body, raising huge waves. Two blue light beams shot from its eyes, striking the incoming water spouts.

Other fifth-tier beasts followed suit, casting spells to attack the water spouts.

After a series of thunderous roars, dozens of water spouts were shattered and vanished.

Wang Ruyan flipped her right hand, and with a flash of spiritual light, a glittering five-colored command flag appeared in her grasp. On the flag's surface were five flames—crimson, gold, green, azure, and blue—each distinct in color and astonishingly imbued with spiritual energy.

This was the Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure, the Five Flames Banner, which Wang Ruyan had obtained from a Nine Flames Sect disciple.

As soon as the Five Flames Banner left her hand, it instantly glowed with spiritual light, transforming into a hundred-mile-wide five-colored fire cloud. It exuded terrifying high temperatures, causing the air to twist and deform, seemingly unable to withstand the intense heat.

Wang Ruyan performed a hand seal, and the five-colored fire cloud surged violently like a tide. Pea-sized raindrops poured down, but these were no ordinary raindrops; they were fire rain, each droplet a wisp of flame, in various colors.

From a distance, it looked as if a rainbow rain was falling from the sky.

The five-colored fire rain landed on the beasts, instantly turning into raging flames, and a large amount of white mist immediately rose from the sea.

Dense fire rain struck the blue whale. Its body was engulfed in flames, but soon, after a dazzling blue light shone from its surface, the flames suddenly dissipated.

A tremendous roar of thunder echoed from high in the sky. Hundreds of blue lightning orbs struck, and a hundred golden-blue lightning javelins shot forth to meet them.

The blue whale's massive body twisted continuously, raising colossal waves that blocked the incoming lightning orbs and javelins.

A hazy blue sound wave swept over. The giant waves shattered instantly, like thin paper.

The blue sound wave quickly passed over the blue whale's body, and the blue whale immediately let out an agonizing roar.

The nearby seawater suddenly glowed brightly, and after a blur, the scaled turtle abruptly appeared.

It opened its gaping maw and sprayed out hundreds of thick golden-blue lightning javelins, striking the blue whale's body.

After a series of thunderous roars, blinding lightning engulfed the blue whale's body.

At the same time, a piercing explosion came from the five-colored fire cloud high in the sky. It crashed down from above, landing on the blue whale.

With a loud crash, the sea surface within a thousand-mile radius turned into a sea of fire, emitting vast amounts of mist. Large numbers of lower-tier beasts were instantly incinerated.

Miserable roars emanated from the sea of fire, and towering waves surged across the surface, accompanied by a tremendous roar of thunder.

Wang Ruyan focused on playing the guqin. Waves of hazy blue sound waves swept out, cutting lower-tier beasts into pieces of shredded flesh like sharp blades. Large quantities of dismembered limbs floated on the sea, the water stained blood-red. The air was filled with the smell of scorched meat, as if someone was cooking stew.

After a while, the sea of fire dissipated. The blue whale floated motionless on the sea, its head gone. The scaled turtle was gnawing on its corpse.

The blue whale's head had been torn off by the scaled turtle.

There were some noticeable claw marks on the scaled turtle's shell, but they had little impact.

The high-grade fifth-tier beast had been annihilated by Wang Ruyan and the scaled turtle working together. The scaled turtle played a significant role; the lightning power it released was not ordinary lightning, but Water-Fiend Divine Thunder.

With the leading fifth-tier beast dead, the beast horde was leaderless. Wang Ruyan activated her Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure and, with the scaled turtle's cooperation, eliminated several more fifth-tier beasts. The remaining beasts scattered and fled in all directions, and the beast tide consequently retreated.
