Chapter 3586: 混战

A familiar male scream rang out. Wang Qingshan’s face darkened as he looked toward the source of the sound, seeing Wang Qingcheng being thrown backward.

Wang Qingcheng’s control of the Golden Toad Wheel to attack Leng Tong inadvertently created an opportunity for Jin Yuyao. Before he even landed, numerous thick green vines burst forth from beneath the ground. The yellow jade lock on Wang Qingcheng’s chest glowed intensely, and a solid yellow light barrier materialized around him. The numerous green vines enveloped Wang Qingcheng. The colossal Sky-Pillar Tree moved closer to him, its many green branches weaving together to form a gigantic, shimmering green hand that struck the yellow light barrier. With a dull thud, the yellow light barrier visibly wavered. Nine faint green lights shot out, successively striking the yellow barrier. After a series of muffled impacts, the yellow light barrier shattered. With a scream, the nine green lights pierced through Wang Qingcheng’s head. His body then shimmered with spiritual energy, transforming into a glowing jade talisman—a Substitute Talisman. With a muted pop, the Substitute Talisman shattered. A flash of yellow light appeared in the void a thousand li away, revealing Wang Qingcheng’s figure.

In his first battle since advancing to the Mahayana stage, Wang Qingcheng faced a Mahayana cultivator of the Tang Clan. Though both were at the early Mahayana cultivation level, Wang Qingcheng was truly no match for Jin Yuyao. Jin Yuyao seized the opportunity, and had it not been for the Substitute Talisman, Wang Qingcheng would have surely perished. The moment Wang Qingcheng reappeared, the void above him rippled, and a large green hand materialized, striking towards his head. Simultaneously, a gleaming golden spear shot directly towards him, reaching his front in an instant. A long green rainbow of light shot forth, shattering the green hand. The green rainbow then collided with the golden spear, causing the spear to break into pieces.

Jin Yuyao’s slender eyebrows furrowed. A green lotus, its petals adorned with intricate sword patterns, materialized in the void above her. Soon, a second and then a third appeared. As the green lotuses gently rotated, streams of fierce green sword energy swept out, directed at Jin Yuyao. A piercing, air-rending sound filled the air as tens of thousands of green flying swords surged towards her. Jin Yuyao dared not be careless. She quickly formed a hand seal, causing a green shield to spin rapidly around her. Simultaneously, countless thick green vines erupted from the ground, weaving together to form a colossal green net. The green sword energy tore through the green net, but swiftly, more green vines burst from the earth, re-weaving themselves into another net. Net after net was shredded, yet each time, the ground promptly produced more green vines, reforming the net. The green flying swords effortlessly pierced through the green nets and struck the green shield, creating a dull impact.

A vast expanse of thin golden light surged towards Wang Mengbin. His body glowed with lightning, and massive amounts of silver lightning swept out, scattering the golden light. Wang Mengbin performed a hand seal, and a deafening peal of thunder erupted from above. Thick bolts of silver lightning tore across the sky, heading directly for Li Xin. Wang Qingcheng also cast spells against Li Xin. He knew his limitations; after the previous battle, he recognized the vast disparity between himself and the enemy. It was better to combine forces with his clansmen.

A man’s scream echoed as True Monarch Wanhai was thrown backward, spitting out a large mouthful of blood. His body visibly dissolved into a rain of blood. With a flash of spiritual light, the blood transformed into a shimmering jade talisman, which then shattered. A thousand li away, a blue light appeared in the void, manifesting True Monarch Wanhai’s figure. His eyes were wide with terror. The moment he appeared, the void above him rippled, and a large purple hand materialized. True Monarch Wanhai’s body radiated blue light, and a dense blue water barrier materialized. The purple hand struck the water barrier with a dull thud, causing a puff of green smoke to rise and the barrier’s spiritual luster to dim. A purple light shot out, piercing the blue water barrier and striking True Monarch Wanhai’s shoulder. True Monarch Wanhai screamed. A bleeding hole appeared on his shoulder, and the blood that flowed was black, clearly indicating a rare, potent poison. His face rapidly turned black, and his body dissolved into a shower of blood. As a miniature Nascent Soul emerged from his dissolving form, a purple hand materialized and struck it. After a final shriek, the miniature Nascent Soul dispersed into specks of spiritual light, and True Monarch Wanhai perished.

Fang Feng wore a mocking expression as a black gourd floated before him. A whooshing sound filled the air as a white spear shot towards him. He formed a hand seal, and the black gourd spewed a vast amount of foul-smelling black liquid, which met the incoming white spear. The black liquid collided with the white spear, causing a puff of green smoke to rise from the spear as its spiritual glow dimmed. The spear then released a massive wave of white cold energy, freezing the black liquid. A white ice spear, over a hundred zhang long, shot forward; upon closer inspection, it was evident that this ice spear was composed of countless Frost Crystal Ants. Fang Feng flicked his right hand, sending a small, shimmering purple mirror flying. He infused it with a hand seal, causing its surface to glow intensely and unleash a torrent of purple light that enveloped the white ice spear. The white ice spear emitted a puff of green smoke, and numerous Frost Crystal Ants began to fall from it.

A cold gust of wind swept by, and Bai Xiao appeared behind Fang Feng. A pair of white bird wings gently flapped on his back, and he held a shimmering white axe in each hand. Bai Xiao’s expression hardened as he swung his twin axes, cleaving down at Fang Feng. Fang Feng reacted swiftly, spinning around and clenching his hands into fists to meet the attack. His fists clashed with the white axes, producing muffled thuds. The axes emanated a vast wave of white cold energy, causing Fang Feng’s hands to rapidly freeze. Fang Feng’s body radiated intense purple light, and the ice swiftly melted away. A large cloud of purple poisonous mist erupted from his body, surging directly toward Bai Xiao. Bai Xiao’s body emitted a bright white glow, and a massive amount of white cold energy surged forth. Simultaneously, a dense white light barrier materialized around him, protecting his entire body. Fang Feng opened his mouth and unleashed a thick beam of purple light, striking the white barrier. The barrier swayed slightly and emitted a puff of green smoke. A massive, entirely black python lunged forward, crashing into the white barrier with a sizzling sound, causing the barrier’s spiritual glow to dim. Shortly after, the white barrier shattered, and the black python slammed into Bai Xiao. Bai Xiao let out an agonizing scream, his body showing signs of decay. His body radiated a bright white light, but it was to no avail; his form rapidly dissolved into a shower of blood. The blood rain then pulsed with spiritual energy, transforming into a shimmering purple lotus with three petals. One of the petals promptly shattered.

A thousand li away, a white light illuminated the void, revealing Bai Xiao’s figure. The moment he appeared, a purple light shot forth, instantly arriving before him. Bai Xiao quickly summoned a shimmering white shield, holding it before him. The purple light struck the shield, causing a puff of green smoke to rise. A purple python lunged forward, colliding with the white shield. Its body burst apart, dissolving into a large pool of foul-smelling black liquid. The white shield’s spiritual glow flickered and dimmed, and numerous cracks appeared on its surface. Seizing the opportunity, Bai Xiao gently flapped the bird wings on his back, vanishing from his spot.

Fang Feng frowned; Bai Xiao was too agile, making it difficult to kill him. Just as he was about to employ other tactics, a familiar male scream pierced the air. He turned towards the sound and saw Hao Long being flung backward, his chest caved in.

The Six-Eyed Sand Spider and the Red Giant Toad had already been eliminated. Gongsun Yang was panting, his face pale, clearly suffering from severe spiritual energy depletion.
