Chapter 3355: Strong Clash

The grey tornado moved swiftly. A blinding golden light flared, revealing a stocky, golden-robed old man whose face was filled with murderous intent.

He formed a spell, and a brilliant golden humanoid apparition appeared above his head. The apparition's right hand gently struck the void.

Following a ripple in the void, a large, brilliant golden hand materialized out of thin air and struck the grey tornado.

With a dull thud, the grey tornado dissipated, revealing Celestial Fiend Rogue Cultivator. He conjured a skull engulfed in black mist. Two black flames burned in its hollow eye sockets, and its mouth opened and closed as it flew towards the opponent.

Meanwhile, Wang Qingshan and his three companions also attacked the Tianxin clan cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, this isn't our human territory. The foreign tribes' reinforcements will arrive quickly. Let's retreat separately!" Su Yilei's urgent voice echoed in Wang Qingshan's ear.

He summoned a palm-sized yellow gourd. As he channeled a spell into it, the gourd glowed brightly, spraying out a vast quantity of yellow, shimmering sand. The yellow sand suddenly coalesced, transforming into five thick, yellow sand-dragons that pounced towards the opponents.

Wang Qingshan performed a sword art, and his nine Azure Glaze Swords unleashed countless sharp azure sword energies, striking towards the opponents.

Wang Lei activated a spell, and a deafening roar reverberated from high in the sky. Tens of thousands of thick golden lightning bolts rent the heavens, striking down at the golden-robed youth and his four companions.

The golden-robed youth dared not be careless and quickly conjured a shimmering golden shield to block in front of him. The purple-robed young woman and her three companions also moved to defend.

After thunderous roars erupted, various spiritual lights illuminated the sky, and dust billowed everywhere.

Wang Qingshan, Wang Lei, and the white flood dragon flew rapidly northeast, while Su Yilei fled southwest.

A miserable male cry echoed as Celestial Fiend Rogue Cultivator's body was pierced by countless brilliant golden threads. The moment his miniature nascent soul left his body, it was seized by a large, brilliant golden hand.

The golden-robed old man cast a soul-searching technique, and the miniature nascent soul cried out in pain.

"Seven Flames Golden Peaches! They came here for the Seven Flames Golden Peaches!" the golden-robed old man said with a grim expression.

He flew into the cave, only to find the Seven Flames Golden Peach tree devoid of its peaches; they had all been harvested.

"Pursue them! They absolutely cannot be allowed to escape." the golden-robed youth commanded. He and the purple-robed young woman chased Wang Qingshan and his two companions, while the golden-robed old man and his two companions pursued Su Yilei. One clan member began transplanting the Seven Flames Golden Peach tree.

Over a sprawling, verdant mountain range, Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingxiao, and Wang Lei swiftly soared through the sky. Wang Qingshan gave a Seven Flames Golden Peach to Wang Qingxiao.

A ripple appeared in the void above their heads, and a colossal, hazy red hand materialized, descending with terrifying high temperature.

Wang Lei's body flared with lightning, and a thick silver lightning bolt shot skyward, shattering the colossal hand. A wave of crimson flames then enveloped them.

Wang Qingxiao opened her mouth and exhaled a dense white mist of cold air. The crimson flames vanished instantly, unable to touch them.

With a flash of golden light, a brilliant golden colossal bell appeared above them. Its surface was engraved with a ferocious exotic beast pattern.

The exotic beast seemed to come alive, letting out an extremely strange roar. Wang Qingshan and his two companions felt their heads go heavy, losing their balance and nearly falling from the sky.

"Soul attack!" Wang Qingshan frowned.

The golden colossal bell descended, trapping all three of them inside. It landed on a peak, instantly crushing the mountaintop to smithereens.

Countless golden lights flared, revealing the golden-robed youth, his face filled with murderous intent.

The golden colossal bell swayed a few times, emitting dull thuds.

A sneer appeared at the corner of the golden-robed youth's mouth. This mid-grade Heavens-Reaching Spirit Treasure, the Golden Roar Bell, was refined primarily from gold-tin crystal. Even a seventh-rank flood dragon wouldn't easily escape it once trapped.

He had used this treasure to eliminate many powerful enemies, and he believed this time would be no exception.

Just as he was about to activate the Golden Roar Bell, small cracks appeared on its surface. The cracks grew larger and larger until the Golden Roar Bell split into two. A sharp red sword light swept out, instantly arriving before the golden-robed youth.

As he was about to block, a loud male roar echoed in his ear. The golden-robed youth frowned, feeling his sea of consciousness about to tear apart, his head throbbing with pain.

The red sword light sliced through the golden-robed youth's body, cutting him in half. His body transformed into a brilliant golden jade pendant, its surface shimmering with runes and emanating astonishing spiritual energy—clearly a substitute treasure.

With a "snap," the golden jade pendant shattered into a pile of fragments.

A golden light flared in the void a hundred miles away, revealing the golden-robed youth. His face was extremely grim.

At that moment, the purple-robed young woman also caught up.

Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingxiao, and Wang Lei stood on the mountaintop. Wang Qingshan held the Southern Bright Lihuo Sword, his expression icy.

They had been trapped within the Golden Roar Bell. Wang Qingxiao had tried to break it open but failed.

Wang Qingshan stored Wang Lei in his Spirit Beast Bracelet, then conjured the Southern Bright Lihuo Sword and destroyed the Golden Roar Bell with a single strike. Only by then casting the Soul-Suppressing Roar was he able to force the opponent to use his substitute treasure. Without the Southern Bright Lihuo Sword, they would likely have been in grave danger.

"A high-grade Heavens-Reaching Spirit Treasure!" The golden-robed youth's gaze was solemn. A cultivator of the Integration stage possessing a high-grade Heavens-Reaching Spirit Treasure was certainly no ordinary individual. Had it not been for his substitute treasure, he would have already been annihilated by the opponent.

Wang Qingshan had no intention of explaining anything to the opponent. He conjured his nine Azure Glaze Swords and performed a sword art. The nine Azure Glaze Swords transformed into countless identical azure flying swords, striking towards the opponent.

The golden-robed youth scoffed, opened his mouth, and spat out a golden light that landed in his hand. It was a golden scimitar, its blade engraved with intricate patterns, emanating astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations—it was indeed a high-grade Heavens-Reaching Spirit Treasure.

Gripping the golden scimitar, he lightly slashed at the void. A piercing whooshing sound filled the air, and a brilliant golden colossal blade light swept out to meet the incoming attack.

The colossal blade light, powerful as a rainbow, shattered numerous azure flying swords. The nine Azure Glaze Swords flew back to Wang Qingshan's side.

Wang Qingshan lightly waved the Southern Bright Lihuo Sword in his hand, and a colossal, hazy red sword light swept out, meeting the colossal blade light.

The golden blade light and the red sword light collided, annihilating each other. The powerful shockwave shattered dozens of mountain peaks, and dust filled the sky.

Wang Lei's body flared with lightning, and he vanished from his spot.

Wang Qingxiao's body flared with white light, transforming into a gigantic white flood dragon.

The purple-robed young woman flicked her sleeve, and eighteen streaks of red light shot out. They were eighteen gleaming red flying daggers, astonishing in their spiritual energy—a set of mid-grade Heavens-Reaching Spirit Treasures.

She activated a spell, and the eighteen shimmering red flying daggers burst forth with dazzling red light, merging into a single colossal, hazy red blade. The blade was enveloped in a layer of crimson flames, emitting astonishing high temperature.

With a gentle flick of her finger, the red colossal blade shot directly towards Wang Qingshan, leaving a long white trail in the void as it passed.
