Chapter 2476: Mutated Ghost Creatures

A hazy green phantom of a giant hovered above the green-robed elder's head. The giant phantom continuously waved its arms, causing wild grass on the ground to grow rapidly, weaving into towering green walls that protected him.

Hundreds of miles away, Wang Changsheng naturally couldn't hear the conversation between the two parties. He didn't know the porcelain bottle contained the Divine Water of Creation and had no interest in getting involved, especially since the Xuanqing Sect members had made things difficult for Wang Qingshan.

A black ghostly figure suddenly appeared behind the green-robed elder without warning. The ghost's eyes were blood-red, a black horn protruded from its head, and its fingers were long and slender.

As soon as it appeared, the black horn on its head immediately emitted a dazzling dark light. A hazy dark halo enveloped the green-robed elder, and its inky black right claw reached for the blue porcelain bottle.

The event was so sudden that the green-robed elder had no time to react. The ghost snatched the blue porcelain bottle, leaving several long, thick bloody gashes on the elder's arm, which bled profusely.

A black light flashed, and a gleaming dark halberd suddenly appeared above the green-robed elder. Accompanied by a wailing ghostly cry, numerous phantom figures appeared on the halberd's surface as it struck downwards.

Hearing the ghostly wail, the green-robed elder's expression became dazed; he felt his soul wanting to fly out of his body.

By the time he recovered, the dark halberd had already struck.

The giant phantom and the green-robed elder were both cut in half by the dark halberd. With a flash of green light, the elder's body transformed into a half-foot long piece of green wood, which shimmered with spiritual light and bore mysterious spiritual patterns on its surface.

With a muffled crack, the green wood shattered into pieces and vanished without a trace.

Almost simultaneously, a graceful young woman in a gold dress was cut in half by a dark longsword, and her body turned into a single arm.

A robust man in a purple robe summoned his Yaksha avatar, letting out a strange ghostly roar and unleashing a purple sound wave towards a certain void.

The void rippled, and a pale-faced young woman in a gold dress appeared, her expression panicked.

The young woman in the gold dress opened her mouth, and a short blade shimmering with golden light flew out, destroying the purple sound wave.

After a wailing ghostly cry, a hazy dark halberd appeared above her head and struck downwards.

With a scream, the young woman in the gold dress was split in two, and her Nascent Soul flew out. Before it could fly far, a hazy dark glow descended from the sky, enveloped the Nascent Soul, and swept it into the black ghostly figure's mouth, where it was swallowed.

Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, a beam of green light appeared above a narrow valley, revealing the green-robed elder, his expression panicked.

"The Stand-in Wood can save you once, but not a second time," a chilling male voice rang out.

No sooner had the words fallen than a slightly hunched old man in a gold robe suddenly appeared above the green-robed elder. The gold-robed elder had a pair of golden feathered wings on his back, gently flapping.

The green-robed elder was greatly alarmed and had no time to react. The gold-robed elder let out a piercing roar, causing the void to vibrate and distort, echoing for tens of thousands of miles.

The green-robed elder let out a scream, spat out a large mouthful of vital blood, and his face turned incredibly pale.

He opened his mouth and spat out seven gleaming green flying daggers, which instantly merged into a single hazy green giant blade. It struck the gold-robed elder, producing a dull thud.

The gold-robed elder's body gained a shallow cut, but he remained unharmed.

A whooshing sound filled the air as dense black threads shot forth, instantly appearing before the green-robed elder.

Countless green spiritual patterns lit up on the green-robed elder's body, and a hazy green light screen emerged.

The dense black threads repeatedly struck the green light screen. The green light screen shattered instantly like thin paper, and the dense black threads pierced through the green-robed elder's body.

At the other end of the black threads was a ghostly figure with a black horn on its head.

The green-robed elder was horrified to find he couldn't use his magic power. The gold-robed elder flew over, seized him, and opened his mouth to reveal a pair of sharp golden fangs, biting towards him.

After the green-robed elder let out a scream, his body rapidly transformed into a mummified corpse.

The gold-robed elder's right hand pierced through the green-robed elder's chest, pulled out a miniature Nascent Soul, and popped it into his mouth.

"Human Nascent Souls are indeed more delicious," the gold-robed elder chuckled, then searched the green-robed elder's body for valuables.

At this moment, the purple-robed man flew over and said, "Let's go! We should catch up with the others and kill a few more Human Void Refinement cultivators."

"No need for that trouble, there are two right here," the gold-robed elder said, his gaze turning cold as he looked down at the valley below.

The ghost's pair of eyes suddenly flared, each shooting out a dark beam towards the valley below.

A blue light shone within the valley, revealing Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

Wang Ruyan played the Heavenly Sound Flute, releasing hazy green sound waves that shattered the two dark beams.

"If it weren't for the Wraith being a mutated ghost, we wouldn't have found you," the gold-robed elder sneered, a smug expression on his face.

Wang Changsheng summoned the Azure Sun Cauldron, casting a spell into it. The cauldron then emitted a sheet of azure glow that enveloped them.

Just then, a blood-red light appeared out of nowhere, and a blood ghost resembling an ape materialized behind Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

The blood ghost had only one eye, bared its fangs, and was covered in blood-red fur – it was clearly a sixth-tier ghost.

As soon as the blood ghost appeared, its single eye immediately shot out a beam of blood-red light towards Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng reacted quickly, turning around. A snow-blue eye appeared between his brows; it was the Glazed True Eye.

The Glazed True Eye emitted a blue light, meeting the blood-red beam.

The blue light collided with the blood-red light, resulting in a stalemate.

Blue light flared intensely from Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's bodies. Wang Changsheng's aura surged, and the blue light gained immense power, shattering the blood-red beam and striking the blood ghost.

The blood ghost immediately let out a piercing scream, and wisps of green smoke emanated from its body.

Wang Ruyan summoned a gleaming golden feather fan and gently waved it. A wave of golden flames swept out, engulfing the blood ghost, and a piercing ghostly wail resounded continuously.

Wang Changsheng conjured the Demon-Slaying Arrow, which plunged into the golden flames. A rumbling thunderous sound erupted, and nine-colored electric arcs surged forth, forming a massive nine-colored lightning ball that engulfed the blood ghost.

A piercing roar rang out. The blood ghost flared with blood-red light, and a surge of blood-colored flames erupted from its arms, slamming into the azure glow.

Snow-blue flames surged from Wang Changsheng's right fist as he met the attack.

With a loud bang, the two fists collided. The snow-blue flames met the blood-colored flames; the blood-colored flames quickly lost ground, rapidly freezing as the ice spread continuously.

The blood ghost was filled with terror and was about to cast a spell to escape. Wang Changsheng let out a mighty roar.

The blood ghost's body trembled. By the time it recovered, its body had already turned into an ice sculpture.

Wang Changsheng's fist smashed into the ice sculpture, causing it to shatter. The blood ghost vanished, and a blood-red orb fell to the ground.

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened. A black jade seal, over a thousand feet tall, suddenly appeared above their heads. Numerous ghostly figures could be seen on the surface of the black jade seal, looking incredibly hideous.
