Chapter 3433: Misfortunes Never Come Alone (No More Today)

Two gigantic spider phantoms appeared high in the sky. Yellow light beams shot out from each of their eyes, and these four beams raced towards Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. Simultaneously, the gravity on the ground intensified dramatically.

The Six-Eyed Sand Spiders opened their mandibles, each spraying out a large quantity of thin yellow silk threads, which then struck at Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

Wang Ruyan's fingers swiftly swept across the pipa strings, sending out waves of sound that blocked the four yellow light beams.

The yellow silk threads coiled together, weaving into yellow spears that shattered many of the sound waves. Wang Ruyan took out a red, shimmering banana fan, which radiated astonishing fire spiritual energy fluctuations. It was clearly the Heaven-Burning Fan, a top-grade Xiantian Lingbao.

With a gentle flick of her fan, a vast expanse of crimson flames surged forth, transforming into a colossal crimson fire phoenix that flew to meet the attack.

The crimson fire phoenix was pierced through by the dense yellow spears. The crimson flames then spread along the spears, heading straight for the Six-Eyed Sand Spiders.

The Six-Eyed Sand Spiders exhaled a foul-smelling, pungent yellow poisonous mist, causing the flames to flicker wildly and then extinguish.

A gigantic, hazy green bird claw appeared out of thin air and swatted at the head of one of the Six-Eyed Sand Spiders.

With a muffled thud, the Six-Eyed Sand Spider's body was drenched in blood, now bearing several horrifying gashes.

At the same time, a gigantic, hazy green bird claw emerged from the void above Wang Changsheng's head, aiming to strike his crown.

Wang Changsheng's body radiated intense blue light. The green bird claw struck him, and Wang Changsheng transformed into a vast expanse of blue water vapor.

Hundreds of miles away, countless blue water vapor emerged from the void, revealing Wang Changsheng's figure.

Two streaks of green light appeared high in the sky, revealing two colossal owl-like birds. Each had a human face on its head, one male and one female.

"Eighth-tier Human-Faced Owls!"

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's expressions turned grim.

Human-Faced Owls are direct descendants of the Seven-Headed Owl, which is one of the True Spirits.

Both of these Human-Faced Owls were at the early eighth-tier, but their strength was no less than that of the mid-eighth-tier Six-Eyed Sand Spiders. Human-Faced Owls could summon a manifestation of the Seven-Headed Owl, making them far superior to the Six-Eyed Sand Spiders.

"Today's harvest is quite good. We can have a hearty meal now."

The Human-Faced Owl with a male face on its head spoke, its gaze burning with eagerness.

This Human-Faced Owl let out a sharp, piercing cry. A gigantic phantom of an owl appeared high above its head, featuring seven heads and exuding an overwhelming aura of malevolence.

A man's loud roar resonated through the heavens and earth—it was the Soul-Suppressing Roar.

The Soul-Suppressing Roar still had some effect against eighth-tier demonic beasts, though its power wasn't as strong as when used by an Integration Stage cultivator. The sea of consciousness of eighth-tier demonic beasts was much stronger than that of seventh-tier ones, making them less susceptible to severe injury.

Hearing this sound, the two Human-Faced Owls slightly furrowed their brows.

A gigantic, hazy blue hand appeared out of thin air. Its surface bore a lifelike phantom of a Qilin—it was the Qilin Immortal-Slaying Hand.

The Qilin Immortal-Slaying Hand shot directly towards the Seven-Headed Owl phantom. The phantom's spiritual light intensified, and one of its heads shot out a hazy golden ring of light, causing the Qilin Immortal-Slaying Hand's descent to slow.

From the eyes of five of the Seven-Headed Owl's heads, thick beams of spiritual light erupted, shattering the Qilin Immortal-Slaying Hand. Direct descendants were on an entirely different level from those who merely possessed some bloodline; the former had potent bloodlines, closely resembling their ancestors, while the latter were generations removed with diluted bloodlines.

Even without a fully materialized manifestation, it could break through the Qilin Immortal-Slaying Hand divine ability. This was the terrifying power of a True Spirit's direct descendant, and it was why Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were so wary.

If Wang Mengli could advance to the Mahayana stage, she would be no weaker than a Seven-Headed Owl.

Wang Changsheng hadn't expected a single strike to severely injure the Human-Faced Owls, but seeing them so effortlessly neutralize the Qilin Immortal-Slaying Hand still greatly astonished him. They were truly worthy of being direct descendants of a True Spirit, unlike demonic birds with merely a trace of bloodline.

Countless blue seawater surged out, churning violently and transforming into a colossal blue water curtain that inverted over them, encapsulating them within.

The Seven-Headed Owl phantom let out a sharp, piercing cry. A fierce gale suddenly arose, and hazy green tornadoes appeared out of thin air, heading directly for Wang Changsheng and the Six-Eyed Sand Spiders. Above the heads of both Wang Changsheng and the Six-Eyed Sand Spiders, a gigantic bird claw appeared, striking downwards.

A painful shriek echoed, and the Six-Eyed Sand Spider's body was riddled with several horrifying blood holes, bleeding profusely.

On the other side, the gigantic bird claw struck the blue water curtain, effortlessly tearing an opening. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan each transformed into a ball of golden spiritual light and vanished, having used the Golden Cicada Escapism technique.

Witnessing this, the two Human-Faced Owls redirected their attacks towards the two Six-Eyed Sand Spiders.

Rumbles of explosions filled the air, as golden and yellow lights intertwined, and shockwaves rolled outwards.

Over two hundred thousand miles away, two golden lights shone above a verdant mountain range, revealing the figures of Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. The Golden Cicada Escapism technique was highly effective when used by Mahayana cultivators.

Wang Ruyan took out a communication artifact to contact Wang Qingfeng, but the artifact showed no response.

"That's strange. They were clearly flying in this direction. Is there some special restriction? Is the communication artifact unusable?" Wang Ruyan wondered aloud.

Logically, they should be able to contact Wang Qingfeng as long as they were within a million miles. However, the communication artifact's lack of response was very peculiar.

Wang Changsheng activated his divine sense to search for traces of his clansmen, but found nothing. The area didn't seem to have any artificial restrictions. Could it be a natural restriction that only blocked communication artifacts? He released Wang Tunqian, instructing him to activate his spiritual eyes to search for Wang Qingfeng and the others.

"Master, they haven't been found within a fifty thousand-mile radius." Wang Tunqian said, frowning.

"Let's search around. I hope we can find them..."

Before Wang Changsheng could finish speaking, a deafening roar erupted, faintly mixed with a dragon's cry.

Wang Tunqian quickly activated his spiritual eyes and observed the source of the sound.

"Oh no, a mid-eighth-tier Human-Faced Flood Dragon!" Wang Tunqian exclaimed, his face filled with shock.

"What? A mid-eighth-tier Human-Faced Flood Dragon?" Wang Changsheng said in surprise. They had just shaken off the Human-Faced Owls, only to encounter an eighth-tier Human-Faced Flood Dragon. Their luck was truly terrible!

Wang Changsheng quickly conjured the Azure Luan Boat, carrying them away into the distance.

They hadn't flown far when they heard a mournful beast roar. Following the sound, they saw a colossal, entirely red tiger being swallowed by an enormous golden flood dragon. The golden flood dragon's head bore a ferocious male face.

Although the Human-Faced Flood Dragon was not a True Spirit descendant, it was still not something they could contend with. Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, retreat was the best. Wang Changsheng formed a hand seal, and the Azure Luan Boat immediately burst forth with brilliant green light, transforming into a streak of green that tore through the air at an incredibly fast speed.

They hadn't flown far when the Human-Faced Flood Dragon also discovered them. It twisted its massive body and gave chase.

Wang Ruyan's finger lightly pointed at the Human-Faced Flood Dragon, and a blue halo flashed out, shooting directly towards it.

The Human-Faced Flood Dragon opened its mandibles and sprayed out a thick golden beam, shattering the blue halo. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were already tens of thousands of miles away. There were many powerful restrictions within the Dao field, so they dared not frequently use the Golden Cicada Escapism technique; it would be disastrous if they stumbled into a powerful restriction.

The Human-Faced Flood Dragon let out a cold snort and continued its pursuit.
