Chapter 2256: Repaying Someone in Their Own Way

The miniature Nascent Soul visibly froze, encased by the Glazed Ice Flame.

The golden lightning dissipated, leaving Wang Changsheng's body charred and emitting a burnt smell. He had numerous bloody marks on his body, but his injuries were not severe. As a body refiner and a sixth-tier artifact master, Liu Yunlan couldn't easily wound Wang Changsheng.

If it had been an ordinary Void Refinement cultivator, they would likely have been severely wounded.

Wang Changsheng didn't kill her for now, only destroying her physical body.

With her Void Refinement cultivation, Liu Yunlan undoubtedly possessed many secrets about the Liu family; she was a huge trove of information.

“Liu Yunlan, it really is the Liu family.”

Wang Changsheng's gaze turned cold as he saw the miniature Nascent Soul.

He collected Liu Yunlan's miniature Nascent Soul and the scattered treasures on the ground. With a hand seal, the blue light curtain dissipated. The eighteen Sea-Stabilizing Beads transformed into eighteen streaks of blue light, their size rapidly expanding before smashing towards the Soul-Rending Beast.

The Sawfish was battling the Soul-Rending Beast, while Wang Ruyan attacked the Lihuo Falcon, and Wang Qingshan and others targeted the demonic beasts below the sixth-tier.

The Kirin Turtle also arrived, unleashing golden and blue lightning spears at the other demonic beasts.

The Red Falcon phantom's wings flapped continuously, causing the void to vibrate and twist. Countless crimson fire lights surged forth, blurring into colossal, water-vat-sized fireballs that slammed towards Wang Ruyan.

Wang Ruyan played the Mortal World Flute, unleashing streams of blue sound waves to meet the colossal fireballs.

Following a series of thunderous explosions, most of the massive fireballs were blocked by the blue sound waves, while some were intercepted by a gray light curtain.

A single sixth-tier demonic beast like the Lihuo Falcon could not break through a sixth-tier formation.

As the void rippled, countless blue water vapor emerged. After a blur, they coalesced into a gigantic azure sky-reaching hand, tens of thousands of feet wide, carrying the force of a million jun, swatting down at the Red Falcon phantom.

Just as the Red Falcon phantom was about to resist, the Sawfish let out a strange roar.

The Red Falcon phantom's reaction faltered. The blue giant hand struck it, causing the phantom to instantly shatter into pieces, disappearing as specks of red light.

The sky-reaching hand then struck the Lihuo Falcon itself, sending it plummeting into the sea like a kite with a broken string.

With its Dharma Idol shattered, the Lihuo Falcon let out a shrill cry. A deafening thunderclap sounded, and a nine-colored arrow shot forward, instantly reaching its front, striking its abdomen. Countless nine-colored electric arcs surged out, causing the Lihuo Falcon to shriek in agony.

A small mountain-sized blue lightning ball descended from the sky, striking the Lihuo Falcon.

Dazzling blue lightning engulfed the Lihuo Falcon's body, and powerful air currents whipped up massive waves.

A whooshing sound echoed as dense blue fist shadows shot forth, merging into the blue lightning. Simultaneously, several blue sound waves also plunged into the lightning.

An extremely mournful bird cry rang out, and a bloodied Lihuo Falcon soared into the sky, flying towards high altitudes.

It circled erratically in the high sky, occasionally releasing crimson flames while repeatedly screaming in agony, as if suffering some form of torment.

Less than fifteen minutes later, the Lihuo Falcon stopped screaming and instead attacked the Soul-Rending Beast.

It had been controlled by the Seven-Star Spirit Control Talisman. With the Lihuo Falcon's addition, the Soul-Rending Beast was no match at all.

The Soul-Rending Beast tried to escape, but the eighteen Sea-Stabilizing Beads trapped it.

With Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, the Lihuo Falcon, and the Sawfish working together, the Soul-Rending Beast was quickly defeated.

In less than fifteen minutes, five enlarged Sea-Stabilizing Beads smashed the Soul-Rending Beast's head to pulp. Two Soul-Devouring Golden Cicadas swarmed over, devouring its essence soul.

Once the Soul-Rending Beast died, the demonic beasts, under the command of the Lihuo Falcon and Sawfish, ceased their attack on Wang Ruyan and the others.

Wang Ruyan let out a long sigh of relief. Just as she was about to speak, Wang Qingcheng's urgent voice sounded in her ear: “Mother, a mid-tier sixth-grade Golden Lightning Turtle is leading a million low-tier demonic beasts to besiege Qinglian Island. Yuejiao and the others won't be able to hold out for long.”

Initially, a million demonic beasts had pursued Wang Changsheng, accompanied by four sixth-tier demonic beasts. After Wang Changsheng eliminated two sixth-tier beasts and controlled the Sawfish with a Seven-Star Spirit Control Talisman, he immediately rushed to support Tianshu Island. These more than a million demonic beasts did not disperse but instead headed towards Qinglian Island. Unexpectedly, the Golden Lightning Turtle that had fled reappeared.

“Madam, you and the others should return to defend against the Golden Lightning Turtle. I'll make a trip to the Liu family and give them a taste of their own medicine.”

Wang Changsheng sent a voice transmission to Wang Ruyan. With Wang Ruyan personally presiding over the protective family formation, it wouldn't be difficult to defend against a single sixth-tier Golden Lightning Turtle.

Once the power of the Seven-Star Spirit Control Talisman was exhausted, it could no longer control a sixth-tier demonic beast. Wang Changsheng had to rush to the Liu family to teach them a lesson.

Wang Ruyan nodded, waved her sleeve, and ordered, “Qingcheng, leave some people behind to collect the demonic beast corpses. The rest of you, return to Qinglian Island with me.”

“Yes, Mother (Ancestor),” Wang Qingcheng and the others agreed in unison, queuing up and teleporting back to Qinglian Island.

Wang Changsheng concealed himself at the bottom of the sea, directing the Lihuo Falcon and Sawfish, along with hundreds of thousands of low-tier demonic beasts, to attack Qianzhu Island.

At Qianzhu Island, over a million demonic beasts were besieging it, including as many as four sixth-tier demonic beasts.

These were a lower-tier sixth-grade Golden Lightning Turtle, a mid-tier sixth-grade Bloodthirsty Shark, a lower-tier sixth-grade Sea-Flipping Whale, and a lower-tier sixth-grade Blazing Red Crab.

While the large island had formidable defenses, if its formations were breached, the cultivators on the island would become an easy meal for the demonic beasts.

Qianzhu Island had gathered fifty thousand cultivators, including over five hundred Nascent Soul cultivators, more than thirty Spirit Transformation cultivators, and three Void Refinement cultivators.

The scale of this beast tide was considerable. Even with multiple sets of formations prepared for the thirty-six subsidiary islands, five of them were still breached by demonic beasts. Fortunately, the Liu family was well-prepared, so their losses were not extensive.

Based on the current situation, the Liu family could withstand the beast tide; its retreat was merely a matter of time.

“Great-great-grandfather, why isn't Aunt Yunlan taking action? Is she still in secluded cultivation?” Liu Chuanzhi asked with a frown.

If there were one more Void Refinement cultivator, they would have an easier time.

“Hmm, even without Yunlan, we can repel the beast tide. Don't hold back,” Liu Tianxiao shouted loudly, manipulating a large, blue-glowing circular artifact that plunged into the beast horde. Wherever it passed, numerous low-tier demonic beasts had their heads crushed.

For some reason, Liu Tianxiao's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, as if something bad was about to happen.

Liu Yunlan's strength was not weak; even if she couldn't win, retreating safely wouldn't be an issue.

“Great-great-grandfather, this is bad! Two more sixth-tier demonic beasts have appeared,” Liu Chuanzhi exclaimed in alarm.

Liu Tianxiao's expression hardened as he looked into the distance. A Lihuo Falcon and a Sawfish, leading nearly a million demonic beasts, were charging towards Qianzhu Island.

“How did two more sixth-tier demonic beasts show up!”

Liu Tianxiao's face turned grim, and at the same time, he had a bad premonition: could Wang Changsheng have lured them here?

No, that's not right! The Seven-Star Demon Luring Incense was a single-use item. Even if Liu Yunlan had been discovered by the Wang family, there would have been little of the incense left. From Qinglian Island to Qianzhu Island was hundreds of millions of miles; the Seven-Star Demon Luring Incense wouldn't be enough to lure sixth-tier demonic beasts all the way to Qianzhu Island.
