Chapter 2902: Recognizing, Fierce Battle

While the enemies were distracted by Wang Ruyan and Liao Zhongyan, Wang Changsheng and Leng Yue would launch an assault on the Lizardfolk's Integration-stage cultivators. This coordinated inside-out attack would allow them to capture the stronghold.

A thick azure light barrier covered the entire stronghold. Bu Sen and a dozen other cultivators stood on an azure flying boat outside the light barrier.

The guards, highly vigilant, did not let them enter.

A plump, blue-robed old man flew over; it was Bu Qing.

A faint azure light flickered in Bu Qing's eyes, but his expression remained normal. He took out an azure-glowing spell disk, channeled an incantation into it, and made a few gestures.

“Which stronghold were you originally stationed at? Who was the person in charge?”

Bu Qing asked in a deep voice.

Bu Sen and the others answered one by one, leaving no openings.

“Let them in and take them to Green Rhino Peak for settlement.”

Bu Qing commanded.

The guards acknowledged, opened the barrier, let them in, and led the way.

Before long, they appeared above a steep peak. No other cultivators were visible nearby.

Bu Sen made a hand seal, and the azure flying boat flared with azure light, rapidly retreating along the path they had come from.

“They only realized now? Too late!”

A cold, emotionless female voice rang out. Above Bu Sen and the others, the void rippled, and a flash of golden light revealed a shimmering golden giant pagoda that appeared out of nowhere. The pagoda's base sprayed forth a golden radiance, enveloping Bu Sen and the others.

A powerful gravitational force emanated from the ground, twisting and distorting the void. The azure flying boat sank slowly, as if caught in a quagmire.

Eighteen thick beams of golden light shot up from the ground, heading straight for Bu Sen and his group.

Numerous high-ranking cultivators rushed in from all directions, led by Bu Kun.

A white light appeared at the tail of the azure flying boat, and Wang Changsheng and Leng Yue emerged.

Wang Changsheng moved his fists. Accompanied by a piercing whooshing sound, countless dense blue fist shadows shot out, shattering the incoming golden light.

He conjured the Five-Poison Soul Extinguishing Fan and gently fanned it. A foul-smelling, five-colored poisonous mist swept forth. When the mist struck the protective spiritual light of the Void Refinement-stage cultivators, it emitted wisps of smoke and caused the light to dim. The protective spiritual light of Spirit Transformation-stage cultivators instantly shattered upon contact with the five-colored mist.

A series of shrill screams erupted as hundreds of Spirit Transformation-stage cultivators dissolved into puddles of blood, their very souls unable to escape. Some buildings, touched by the five-colored poisonous mist, also emitted wisps of smoke.

Leng Yue made a hand seal, and Bu Sen along with a slender woman in a red dress attacked the other cultivators on the azure flying boat.

Caught off guard, these cultivators had no time to defend themselves, and a chorus of screams ensued.

“Bu Sen, you dare to side with human cultivators? You deserve death!”

Bu Qing shouted loudly.

Bu Sen ignored him, his expression cold.

“Attack! Destroy them!”

Bu Kun's expression turned cold. He took out a golden cloth bag, channeled an incantation into it, and a strong gust of wind howled forth. A powerful suction force appeared out of nowhere, causing Wang Changsheng and Leng Yue's hair to fly wildly in the wind.

After countless golden runes lit up on the surface of the golden cloth bag, it rapidly expanded in size, spewing forth golden light that enveloped Wang Changsheng and Leng Yue.

Wang Changsheng's body glowed intensely with blue light, then transformed into scattered blue mist and vanished.

Leng Yue's body flickered, and she flew backward tens of thousands of feet in an instant.

Bu Sen and the woman in the red dress were struck by the golden light and rapidly flew towards the golden cloth bag. Before they could be sucked into it, their bodies rapidly swelled.

With thunderous roars, two massive explosions of spiritual light erupted. They had self-detonated to prevent the Lizardfolk cultivators from discovering the existence of the Seven-Star Spirit Control Talisman.

Leng Yue took out a Seven-Star Soul Suppressing Talisman and slapped it onto herself.

Of course, it wasn't hers; Wang Changsheng had temporarily lent it to her.

Wang Changsheng took a deep breath and unleashed the Soul Suppressing Roar.

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering male roar echoed throughout most of the stronghold. Centered on Wang Changsheng, all cultivators below the Integration-stage within a ten-thousand-mile radius were stunned into unconsciousness or killed outright.

Bu Kun and Bu Qing remained unaffected, their expressions unchanged, likely due to protective treasures. A graceful young woman in a white dress, however, trembled slightly.

Leng Yue's eyes were filled with apprehension. She knew the Wang family possessed a secret soul attack technique, but she hadn't expected it to be so powerful.

What she didn't know was that Wang Changsheng had not used the Nine Revolutions Spirit Nourishing Grand Law, nor had his spiritual sense stacked with Wang Ruyan's; otherwise, its power would have been even greater.

At this moment, Wang Ruyan and Liao Zhongyan also launched their attack. They commanded forty-four Void Refinement-stage cultivators to assault the formation.

Wang Ruyan conjured the Golden Crow Lamp, channeled an incantation into it, and the wick spontaneously ignited, unleashing a large swath of golden flames.

A clear cry rang out as the golden flames surged violently, and a colossal Golden Crow appeared.

As soon as the Golden Crow appeared, it gently flapped its wings. Within a ten-thousand-mile radius, vast amounts of crimson firelight emerged. After a blur, these transformed into house-sized crimson fireballs, and the sky itself seemed to turn fiery red.

Tens of thousands of crimson fireballs, like falling meteors, hurtled towards the azure light barrier.

With thunderous roars, roughly half of the azure light barrier was engulfed by the crimson flames.

Liao Zhongyan activated his Dharma Idol, which spewed a shimmering golden spiritual light, attacking the formation.

Wang Yingjie and ten other Void Refinement-stage cultivators activated their Qianlei Mirrors, each unleashing a thick golden lightning bolt directly at the formation.

Liu Yuhan and eight other Void Refinement-stage cultivators, each holding a white-glowing banner, gently waved them. Chilly winds arose, and large amounts of white snowflakes drifted down from high altitude, transforming into white ice swords several feet long that flew straight towards the formation.

Inside the azure light barrier, Bu Kun and two others were controlling their Dharma Idols or treasures to attack Wang Changsheng.

Bu Kun flipped his right hand, and with a flash of spiritual light, a square five-colored medallion appeared in his grasp. Its spiritual energy was astonishing, and the front of the medallion bore a miniature ape pattern, constantly flickering with spiritual light.

He channeled an incantation into it, and the five-colored medallion emitted an angry roar, bursting forth with dazzling five-colored spiritual light as a colossal Five-Colored Mighty Ape materialized out of thin air.

The Giant Ape Command Medallion had a mid-seventh-rank Five-Colored Mighty Ape refined into it, allowing it to take form and attack.

The Five-Colored Mighty Ape possessed the bloodline of the Mountain Ape. The one before them, however, was merely a manifestation of its soul.

The Lizardfolk had dispatched ten Integration-stage cultivators to capture a mid-seventh-rank Five-Colored Mighty Ape from the desolate wilderness. Their original intention was to subdue the beast, help it transform into human form, and make it serve the Lizardfolk.

However, the Five-Colored Mighty Ape refused to submit and was killed by the Lizardfolk. Its soul was then refined into this treasure. To defeat the Five-Colored Mighty Ape, the Lizardfolk lost two Integration-stage cultivators, with three others heavily wounded, incurring significant losses.

This Giant Ape Command Medallion was being used against an enemy for the first time since its creation.

Bu Kun lightly pointed a finger at Wang Changsheng, and the Five-Colored Mighty Ape strode towards Wang Changsheng. With each step, the ground shook violently.

Leng Yue, Bu Qing, and the white-dressed young woman engaged in intense combat. Leng Yue had not been in the Integration Realm for long, and with Bu Qing and the white-dressed woman possessing numerous treasures, Leng Yue gained no advantage.

Above the white-dressed young woman's head was a massive white lion's phantom. Her true form was a seventh-rank Ice Flame Lion that had, by a twist of fate, transformed into human form and joined the Lizardfolk.
