Chapter 228: Who Is Faster

Their numbers were few, but their offensive was astonishing.

Wang Changsheng quickly conjured the Dark Ice Banner. With a gentle wave, a large expanse of white cold air surged out, transforming into a white ice wall, several yards high and two feet thick. It blocked their front, shielding everyone within.

A loud boom!

With a loud crash, the white ice wall was shattered.

Ye Tong conjured a yellow banner. With a gentle wave, a powerful yellow hurricane flashed forth, scattering the red fireballs and green leaves.

Zhao Long conjured a second-tier Firebird Talisman, which transformed into a palm-sized red firebird, flying towards the giant green hand.

The giant green hand closed its five fingers, crushing the red firebird. A large burst of red flames engulfed the giant green hand.

Wang Changxue conjured two blue flying swords, shattering the sea of red flames. Over a dozen green vines were reduced to only their lower halves.

The four young women chanted their incantations, and the green vines glowed brightly, regrowing their burnt upper halves.

At this moment, the green-robed woman stopped chanting, and her hands glowed intensely with green light.

She squatted down, placed her hands on the ground, and whispered, "All vegetation, become my army! Heed my command, rise!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the weeds on the grassland rapidly grew, quickly reaching over a person's height. After blurring, each transformed into a green-clad warrior, wielding a green longsword. There were hundreds of them.

The green-robed woman took out a seed glowing with continuous green light, tossed it forward, and cast a spell formula upon it.

The green seed spun rapidly, then blurred, transforming into a green-armored guard over two yards tall, with dull eyes.

The green-robed woman touched the center of her brow, and a streak of green light flew out, swiftly vanishing into the green-armored guard's brow. A lotus pattern appeared on the guard's forehead, and his formerly dull eyes became clear and filled with sentience.

She patted her storage bag, and two streaks of green light flew out, landing on the green-armored guard. They were two green maces covered with barbs, clearly magical artifacts judging by their magical energy fluctuations.

"Green Lotus Guard, kill them!"

The green-robed woman pointed at Wang Changsheng and his companions. The green-armored guard strode towards them.

At the same time, hundreds of green-clad warriors charged towards Wang Changsheng and his companions.

"Vegetation to arms! This is a secret art of the Hundred Blossom Sect that is not easily passed on. Any Hundred Blossom Sect disciple who knows this secret art must be an elite disciple. We're in trouble."

Ye Tong's expression changed dramatically, becoming grave.

The hundreds of green-clad warriors each possessed the strength of the Qi Refinement stage, while the green-armored guard had Foundation Establishment stage strength.

And that wasn't all. The six individuals, led by the green-robed woman, each released a colorful second-tier spirit butterfly, which spread its wings and flapped towards Wang Changsheng and his companions.

Wang Changsheng's expression grew serious. He had been willing to stay and block the enemy, naturally relying on his Golden Flood Dragon Cauldron. His original plan was to use the cauldron to collect the opponent's magical artifacts and then escape. He never expected that the Hundred Blossom Sect disciples hardly used magical artifacts in their combat, rendering his Golden Flood Dragon Cauldron useless.

The second-tier spirit butterflies flapped their wings, each releasing dozens of green wind blades that sliced towards Wang Changsheng and his companions.

Ye Tong changed his spell formula, casting several incantations onto the yellow banner. The banner's surface instantly glowed brightly, spinning unsteadily around Wang Changsheng and his companions. It then suddenly descended and embedded itself into the ground, releasing a large yellow hurricane that protected Wang Changsheng and his group.

Zhao Long patted his storage bag, and a palm-sized red plantain fan shot out. After blurring, it expanded to about a yard in size, continuously glowing with spiritual light and radiating potent spiritual energy.

He gripped the red plantain fan with both hands and fanned it vigorously. A large expanse of red flames swept out, forming a scaly, formidable red fire dragon that lunged towards the attacking green-clad warriors.

The red fire dragon rampaged through the green-clad warriors. As soon as a green-clad warrior came into contact with the fire dragon, their body immediately ignited with roaring flames, gradually turning to ash.

However, very quickly, a single weed blurred and transformed into a green-clad warrior, charging towards Wang Changsheng and his companions.

A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of the green-robed woman's mouth. "Vegetation to arms" was the Hundred Blossom Sect's unique secret art; as long as she, the caster, remained unharmed, any number of fallen green-clad warriors could be instantly replaced.

She was at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment stage. Since the opponents dared to infiltrate enemy territory and cause trouble, they must have some reliance. Therefore, she did not intend to confront them head-on. Instead, she decided to play to her strengths, using her deeper magical power to eliminate them. Since they were in Tang Kingdom territory, the opponents surely wouldn't dare to linger for too long.

Wang Changsheng conjured the Golden Moon Meteor Hammer. With a fierce shake, the hammerhead shot out, repeatedly knocking back several green-clad warriors. Those struck by the Golden Moon Meteor Hammer disintegrated, their bodies scattering into flecks of green light and vanishing.

However, new green-clad warriors were quickly replenished.

At this moment, the Foundation Establishment stage green-armored guard was less than ten yards from Wang Changsheng and his companions.

Wang Changsheng frowned slightly, flicked his wrist, and the meteor hammer flew back from afar, striking the green-armored guard forcefully in the chest.

The green-armored guard's chest instantly caved in, but very quickly, a green light flashed across his body, and he returned to normal, without a single visible scratch.

The red dragon flew forward and crashed into the green-armored guard, unleashing a deafening roar. Rolling flames immediately engulfed the guard's body.

Not long after, a dazzling green light erupted from within the flames, and the fire dissipated.

The green-armored guard's body was somewhat scorched, but otherwise, there were no other injuries.

The green-armored guard glowed intensely with green light, suddenly accelerating. He quickly arrived before Wang Changsheng and his companions, swinging his two large maces towards them.

Just then, Wang Changsheng took out the Green Light Mirror, aimed it at the green-armored guard, and with a flash of green light, a thick green light beam shot out, accurately enveloping the guard. The green-armored guard instantly halted, unable to move.

The surface of the Dark Ice Banner in Wang Changsheng's hand glowed brightly. A large expanse of white cold air swept out, striking the green-armored guard. The guard's body quickly froze. In less than three breaths, the green-armored guard was completely frozen, with an ice layer several feet thick.

The meteor hammer struck, shattering the ice. The green-armored guard's body was also smashed to pieces. With a flash of green light, the guard's corpse transformed into a cracked green seed.

Wang Changsheng gently waved the Dark Ice Banner. A vast expanse of white cold air surged out, sweeping across the ground. The ground rapidly froze. Centered around Wang Changsheng, an area hundreds of yards in radius turned to ice. The cold air emitted by the ice significantly slowed the movement speed of the green-clad warriors.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, Second Sister, please protect me."

After speaking, Wang Changsheng immediately sat down cross-legged, took out the Flying Needle Talisman Treasure, and frantically poured his magical power into it.

His magical power was deeper than that of cultivators at the same stage. Though he was only at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, his magical power was comparable to that of a sixth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator. Given a little time, he could activate the Talisman Treasure, making it easy to kill the six Hundred Blossom Sect disciples.

"No good, Senior Sister! This person has a Talisman Treasure!"

Seeing Wang Changsheng conjure the Talisman Treasure, the green-robed woman's expression grew grim.

"You all protect me! Don't let them interfere. I'll see who is faster, him or me."

The green-robed woman commanded, lifted her hands from the ground, and the hundreds of green-clad warriors instantly dispersed, transforming into a large patch of green weeds.

The green-robed woman took out a Talisman Treasure that glowed continuously with green light, its surface adorned with a small knife pattern.

With her cultivation at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment stage, she would undoubtedly activate the Talisman Treasure faster than Wang Changsheng.

In this battle, whoever activated their Talisman Treasure first would survive.
