Chapter 2478: Unexpected Incident

Amidst a piercing whoosh, the colossal staff transformed into countless shadow projections, crashing down like a towering mountain peak, twisting and deforming the void.

Wang Changsheng flicked his sleeve, and the Glazed Spirit-Slaying Axe flew out, landing in the right hand of the humanoid phantom. The humanoid phantom wielded the Glazed Spirit-Slaying Axe, moving to meet the attack.

Accompanied by another harsh tearing sound, countless blue seawater surged forth like a blue torrent, rushing towards the colossal mountain peak. With a tremendous roar, the colossal mountain peak was shattered by the blue seawater. The Glazed Spirit-Slaying Axe then collided with the purple giant staff, producing a muffled clang and unleashing a mighty shockwave.

The man in purple stood in the void, a Yaksha phantom above his head gripping a purple giant staff. The Yaksha phantom let out an extremely bizarre roar, spewing a purple sound wave directly towards Wang Changsheng. The humanoid phantom gently slapped its left palm towards the void, and countless blue seawater surged forth. A vast blue palm materialized out of thin air, shattering the purple sound wave.

The blue giant palm shot straight towards the man in purple, but before it got within a hundred zhang of him, it was shattered by the Yaksha phantom, which swung its purple giant staff.

A booming thunderous sound came from high in the sky as thousands of blue lightning orbs descended from the heavens, crashing down on the man in purple. The man in purple was startled; before he could dodge, a loud horn blast rang out. He felt his body go limp, unable to use even a trace of spiritual power. A huge explosion echoed as the dense blue lightning orbs engulfed the man in purple, who screamed repeatedly.

A green light flashed, and a massive roc suddenly appeared high in the sky. The roc's eyes were vacant, and its body was covered in profound spiritual patterns, clearly indicating it was a Sixth-Tier puppet beast. The roc puppet flapped its wings, and countless slender green lights shot out, merging into the blue lightning and producing a muffled sound. The Yaksha phantom was pierced through by the dense green lights, dissolving into scattered specks of spiritual light. The purple giant staff fell into the man in purple's hand. He swung it, striking towards the roc puppet. The roc puppet gently flapped its wings, transforming into a breeze and vanishing.

The old man in gold was activating his Dharma Idol to attack the Golden Buddha Demon-Locking Formation. The black ghostly figures either spewed black ghostly flames or activated their Dharma Idols to attack the formation. The Golden Buddha Demon-Locking Formation was a Buddhist array; its array talismans could not unleash their full power, and it was not easily broken.

A green light illuminated the sky above the black ghostly figure, and a roc phantom appeared. The roc phantom's body emanated dazzling green light, enveloping the black ghostly figure. A nine-colored arrow shot over, and after a blur, it transformed into a hundred-zhang-long nine-colored lightning python, pouncing on the black ghostly figure.

The man in purple wanted to help, but the flute music in his ears grew increasingly piercing. His heart pounded rapidly, he felt dizzy and disoriented, and a strong murderous intent emerged in his mind.

A loud thunderous sound came from high in the sky as thousands of blue lightning orbs descended from the heavens. The man in purple gently flapped his wings, vanishing from his spot—a Wind Evasion Technique. The next moment, the man in purple appeared above the Qilin Tortoise, swinging his purple giant staff towards it. The Qilin Tortoise's body erupted with brilliant lightning as countless blue electric arcs surged forth, striking towards the man in purple. The purple giant staff, with overwhelming momentum, shattered the dense blue electric arcs and struck the Qilin Tortoise, which dissolved into scattered blue light and vanished.

A sharp, ghostly wail rang out, and the man in purple instinctively turned his head to look. The black ghostly figure was emitting a puff of green smoke, enveloped by a blue ethereal glow, and two Soul-Devouring Golden Cicadas were biting its body. A nine-colored arrow was lodged in the black ghostly figure's chest, and countless nine-colored electric arcs engulfed its body. The black ghostly figure let out a piercing shriek, and its body glowed with intense dark light. Just then, Wang Changsheng let out a loud shout. The black ghostly figure screamed, its dark light dimmed, and its aura weakened.

A snow-blue lotus descended from the sky, landing on the black ghostly figure. The black ghostly figure visibly froze, transforming into an ice sculpture. A wave of ethereal green sound swept over, shattering the ice sculpture. A black orb fell to the ground, and a Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada spewed a golden ethereal glow, coiling the black orb into its mouth and swallowing it. After swallowing the Yin Orb left by the Sixth-Tier ghost creature, the Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada became drowsy.

At this moment, the man in purple realized something was wrong. His wings on his back flapped continuously, and he vanished from his spot. The Myriad Ghost Seal erupted with intense dark light, striking towards Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. Wang Changsheng blew the Spirit-Suppressing Horn, and a loud horn blast echoed for ten thousand li around. Wang Ruyan, wearing the Mid-Grade Heavenly Treasure Golden Roc Pendant, was unaffected. The Myriad Ghost Seal suddenly stopped, and the man in purple's figure appeared in a certain part of the void. His eyes had turned blood-red, and his expression was ferocious.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill you all," the man in purple muttered to himself.

A hundred-zhang-diameter blue lightning orb descended from the sky, crashing onto the man in purple. With a tremendous roar, a dazzling ball of blue lightning appeared high in the sky. A red light flashed, and a hundreds-zhang-tall red giant brick appeared high in the sky, crashing down directly. After a loud crash, a mountain peak was shattered by the red giant brick. When the red giant brick flew up, the man in purple had been reduced to a pile of minced flesh. A miniature Nascent Soul flew out from his body, and a vast blue hand materialized, grabbing the miniature Nascent Soul. A fierce glint flashed in the miniature Nascent Soul's eyes, intending to self-destruct. However, the flute music grew even more spirited, and the miniature Nascent Soul's expression became blank. A silver talisman flew over and affixed itself to its body.

On the other side, within the golden light barrier, the old man in gold had exhausted all his methods but still could not break out of the formation. His face was flushed crimson, filled with rage, and his mind was brimming with boundless murderous intent.

Wang Changsheng was about to activate a treasure to kill this person when he sensed something and let out a low shout, "Not good, be careful."

As soon as he spoke, a fierce gust of wind blew past, and a man in green robes with a green face, fangs, and a pair of green feathered wings on his back appeared behind Wang Ruyan. The man in green robes had long ears and a high nose, clearly a Yaksha, and his aura was even more powerful than that of the old man in gold.

Void Refinement Grand Perfection!

As soon as the man in green robes appeared, a green light shot into the sky, transforming into a massive green Yaksha phantom. More than half of the Yaksha phantom shimmered with spiritual light, appearing almost solid. The Yaksha phantom roared up at the sky, a sharp, piercing shriek rang out, and it spewed a wave of ethereal green sound, striking towards Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. Upon hearing this sound, Wang Changsheng felt dizzy and disoriented. He circulated the Grand Void Spirit-Forging Art, and only then did he feel a little better. They could handle one late-Void Refinement stage Yaksha together, but two would be difficult. Against a Void Refinement Grand Perfection cultivator, they could only flee. He hurriedly activated his Dharma Idol, attacking the green sound wave. With a tremendous roar, the green sound wave burst, and Wang Changsheng was blown away by the powerful blast of air.

The man in green robes opened his mouth and spat out a shimmering green small trident, which instantly grew in size, radiating terrifying spiritual energy—clearly a Mid-Grade Heavenly Treasure. He wielded the green giant trident, thrusting it towards Wang Ruyan. Wang Ruyan was about to dodge when the Yaksha phantom opened its mouth and spewed a wave of ethereal green glow, enveloping Wang Ruyan. With a muffled "thump," Wang Ruyan's defense was like paper, pierced through by the green giant trident. The green giant trident pierced through Wang Ruyan's head.

Wang Ruyan's body glowed brightly, transforming into a blood-red orb, which was precisely a Substitute Tribulation Pearl. With a "crack," the Substitute Tribulation Pearl shattered into pieces, turning into a pile of dust. If not for the Substitute Tribulation Pearl, she would have lost her life. The man in green robes was somewhat surprised and looked into the distance. A spiritual light lit up in a certain part of the void, revealing Wang Ruyan's figure. Her face was slightly pale and covered in fine sweat.
