Chapter 3190: Leaders Present (No More Today)

Granny Tianxue was sliced in half, and her body transformed into a snow-white spirit wood. Upon closer inspection, the surface of the white spirit wood was covered with runes and appeared to be vaguely divided into four sections.

With a muffled thud, a small section of the white spirit wood broke off.

Dozens of miles away, a white light flashed in the void, revealing Granny Tianxue's figure. Her eyes were filled with terror. Had it not been for the calamity-substitute wood, she would have perished.

With a single-hand gesture, Granny Tianxue beckoned. The calamity-substitute wood flew towards her, disappearing into her sleeve.

A whooshing sound pierced the air, as a golden arc of light shot forth, aiming directly at Granny Tianxue.

Simultaneously, a massive mound of earth swelled from the ground, and a yellow stone figure with indistinct features emerged from beneath. The earth around it turned to sand, and vast quantities of yellow grit surged towards the stone figure. The stone figure's size rapidly increased, transforming into a yellow giant over a thousand zhang tall, who strode towards Granny Tianxue.

The ground began to tremble slightly, generating a powerful gravitational force that pulled Granny Tianxue firmly to the earth. Her body felt as heavy as billions of jin, and her face registered fear.

Granny Tianxue quickly formed a hand seal. The nearby ground froze, and a surge of white frigid air emanated from her body. A white ice armor materialized out of thin air. Wielding a white long-handled halberd in one hand, she met the attack.

The white halberd clashed with the golden arc of light, emitting a 'clank' of metal striking metal. The golden arc was, in fact, a shimmering golden long blade, astonishing in its spiritual energy.

The yellow stone figure reached Granny Tianxue. Its right fist smashed towards her, and even before impact, an ear-piercing whooshing sound filled the air.

Granny Tianxue hastily activated her Dharma Idol, attacking the yellow stone figure.

The female phantom sprayed a white light, striking the yellow stone figure. The yellow stone figure rapidly froze, transforming into a massive ice sculpture.

White ice spears materialized one after another, successively striking the frozen yellow stone figure.

After a series of muffled 'clanging' sounds, the yellow stone figure shattered into pieces. Countless yellow, shimmering grains of sand surged out, swirling in mid-air, before transforming into a yellow, shimmering sand dragon that lunged at Granny Tianxue.

Simultaneously, a yellow light illuminated above Granny Tianxue's head, revealing a gigantic, yellow-glowing bell. A lifelike stone tiger pattern was etched onto its surface.

A loud tiger roar echoed, and the yellow giant bell descended.

The female phantom moved her arms. Two massive white ice pillars shot skyward, supporting the yellow giant bell. However, very quickly, the yellow giant bell shook gently, emitted a resonant chime, and expelled a hazy yellow sound wave. The two white ice pillars shattered into pieces.

The yellow giant bell swept past the female phantom. The female phantom let out a shriek, and white cracks appeared on its surface. However, a surge of white frigid air emanated from the phantom's surface, and the cracks quickly healed and vanished.

The yellow giant bell enveloped the female phantom. The stone tiger on the bell seemed to come alive, letting out enraged roars.

The yellow giant bell then emitted another hazy yellow sound wave. Numerous cracks appeared on the female phantom's surface. This time, before the cracks could heal, the female phantom disintegrated.

Granny Tianxue's face turned crimson, and she spat out a large mouthful of blood, her complexion becoming somewhat pale.

The yellow giant bell then moved to cover Granny Tianxue. A huge, white-glowing circular wheel shot forward, blocking the yellow giant bell, and a muffled 'clank' resounded.

The yellow sand dragon's tail swept towards Granny Tianxue. Upon contact with a white misty radiance, it instantly froze, and its speed significantly decreased.

Granny Tianxue gave a slight flick of her wrist. The white long spear flicked away the golden long blade. She formed a hand seal, and countless white runes emerged from her body, transforming into a massive white ice block.

The yellow sand dragon's sharp claws smashed the white ice block to smithereens. Countless small ice fragments scattered across the ground.

The yellow giant bell enveloped the white giant wheel. The stone tiger roared loudly. The yellow giant bell shook gently, emitting a series of muffled 'clanging' sounds, as if the white giant wheel was attacking it.

Wang Yidao and Wang Qingcheng flew in from a distance, moving rapidly. Their expressions were cold.

High-level cultivators were not supposed to easily attack lower-level cultivators. This was an unspoken rule among the major human factions on the Xuanling Continent. Since the Cold Flame Sect had broken the rule first, they naturally wouldn't be polite to Granny Tianxue.

Had they not arrived quickly, Wang Lihe and Wang Yuanwei's lives would likely have been in danger.

Wang Yidao gripped the golden long blade with both hands. He slashed downwards into the void. A hazy golden vortex surged forth, unleashing fierce blade energy. A strong gale arose, and thick, long cracks appeared in the void. The ground also cracked, showing similar long fissures.

The four individuals including Wang Lihe had long since retreated to a safe distance, to avoid being accidentally harmed by the aftermath of the Soul Formation cultivator's battle. Wang Qingcheng formed a hand seal. The yellow sand dragon's spiritual light greatly intensified as it lunged at Granny Tianxue.

The golden vortex reached Granny Tianxue, expanding to more than double its size. Thick, long cracks appeared in the void, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became violent.

Granny Tianxue was greatly alarmed. The powerful gravitational force kept her firmly bound to the ground, preventing her from evading.

She flicked her sleeve, and two white-glowing flying daggers shot out, successively striking the yellow sand dragon, producing muffled 'clanging' sounds.

Granny Tianxue conjured a small white seal. She imbued it with a hand seal, and the small white seal rapidly expanded in size, meeting the golden vortex.

The ground's gravity dramatically increased. Simultaneously, thick yellow earth ropes broke through the ground, weaving into a massive yellow net, which covered the giant white seal, pulling it into the earth.

A surge of white frigid air emanated from the giant white seal. The yellow earth ropes began to freeze. However, the giant white seal was also firmly held to the ground.

The golden vortex descended directly, poised to crush Granny Tianxue.

Granny Tianxue was terrified. Just as she was about to cast a spell to resist, a man's loud roar echoed – the Soul Suppressing Roar.

An unbearable sharp pain shot through Granny Tianxue's sea of consciousness. Her features contorted slightly.

By the time she recovered her senses, the golden vortex had already engulfed Granny Tianxue's figure. Granny Tianxue's body transformed into countless drops of blood rain.

A miniature Nascent Soul flew out of her body, its expression panic-stricken.

Before the miniature Nascent Soul could fly far, a golden arc of light shot towards it, intending to completely annihilate Granny Tianxue.

Just then, a vast, white misty hand materialized in mid-air, blocking the golden arc of light. Two white lights appeared on the distant horizon, rapidly flying towards their location. Leading them was Li Qingyue, her gaze grim.

She had rushed over as soon as she received the news, but unexpectedly, she was still a step too late. Granny Tianxue's physical body had been destroyed. It would take a considerable amount of time for her to cultivate a new body through possession and regain her previous cultivation. Furthermore, her Dharma Idol had been destroyed in the recent battle, and she would need to re-condense it.

For high-level cultivators, possessing a new body was very troublesome, significantly impacting their cultivation.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, are you intending to fight our Cold Flame Sect to the death?" Li Qingyue said with a cold expression.

"Hmph, that question should be directed at you," Wang Qingcheng sneered, his tone mocking. "As a Soul Formation cultivator, she attacked our junior family members. If we don't teach her a lesson, she might truly believe she can bully our clansmen with impunity. If she doesn't follow the rules, then don't blame us for being impolite."

"That's right, Qingcheng." A female voice came from a distance. Wang Ruyan flew in from afar, stopping high in the air after a few flashes.
