Chapter 3735: Defeating the Enemy

Wang Qingxiao transformed into a colossal white flood dragon. It opened its massive mouth and unleashed a thick beam of white light, aiming directly at the young woman in the purple skirt.

Wherever the white light passed, the void froze.

The crimson flames surrounding the young woman in the purple skirt suddenly solidified and met the attack. Upon contact with the crimson flames, the white light instantly dissipated.

The crimson flames contained the power of the Great Dao. Attacks lacking the power of the Great Dao were utterly ineffective against them.

In magical confrontations, spells imbued with the power of the Great Dao were far superior to those without.

Wang Ruyan and the others had not been True Immortals for long. They had not yet comprehended the power of the Great Dao, so their spells were ineffective against the young woman in the purple skirt.

A white light illuminated the void above the young woman's head. A Frost Condor materialized, lightly flapping its wings. Numerous white feathers shot out, transforming into white ice swords that flew directly towards the young woman. Simultaneously, a white halo swept forth, causing the temperature in the nearby void to plummet.

The Law of Ice!

The white ice swords collided with the crimson flames, raising a cloud of white mist.

Wherever the white halo passed, the crimson flames flickered wildly before extinguishing.

The young woman in the purple skirt frowned deeply. She had only cultivated the Law of Fire to the introductory level, so its power was limited.

It was extremely difficult to cultivate a Law to perfection, and this had little to do with one's cultivation realm. Most True Immortals only cultivated a Law to the introductory level. A True Immortal who cultivated a Law to the minor mastery level was already formidable. Cultivating it to major mastery would signify a prodigy, and as for perfection, it had never been witnessed throughout history.

Purple light erupted from her body, and a purple halo flashed out. Wherever it passed, wisps of green smoke rose from the void.

The Law of Poison! Also at the introductory level.

Having opened three apertures, she could comprehend three different Laws, a method also used in combat; the more apertures one opened, the more Laws they could comprehend.

The purple halo collided with the white halo, unleashing a powerful wave of energy. Soon after, the white halo dissipated, and the purple halo then struck the white flying swords, causing them to emit green smoke and disintegrate.

The Frost Condor lightly flapped its wings, vanishing from its spot and avoiding the purple halo.

Ripples appeared in the void above the young woman's head. A golden flash revealed a massive, gleaming golden seal – the Primordial Magnetic Seal.

The sea surface quickly froze, and the ice layer spread.

Even before the Primordial Magnetic Seal descended, a powerful gravitational force enveloped its target.

Purple light burst forth from the young woman's body, and her form became indistinct, like a cloud of purple mist.

The Law of Mist allowed one to transform their body into mist, avoiding attacks from physical treasures. However, it was vulnerable to spells imbued with the power of the Great Dao.

The Primordial Magnetic Seal struck the young woman, but she transformed into a large expanse of purple mist. The purple mist flew into the distance, converging and reforming into the young woman's appearance.

Wang Changsheng frowned, noting that the young woman in the purple skirt was far more difficult to deal with than the two True Immortals he had killed earlier, who had very little immortal essence left and thus were not comparable.

The man in green was casting spells to attack the blue water barrier. However, the blue water barrier was like an unshakeable towering peak; he simply could not break through it.

As soon as the young woman in the purple skirt reappeared, a river of green swords, a long river of crimson energy, and a towering lightning pillar swept towards her.

A vast expanse of crimson flames erupted around the young woman in the purple skirt, their intensity reaching the heavens — it was the Law of Fire.

With a thunderous roar, the river of green swords, the long river of crimson energy, and the towering lightning pillar quickly dissipated upon contact with the raging flames.

A sound of crashing waves arose, and towering colossal waves surged skyward. They converged into a single massive wave, heading straight for the young woman in the purple skirt.

The crimson flames suddenly condensed, forming a thick, red fire dragon that lunged at the colossal wave.

A tremendous explosion resounded as the red fire dragon collided with the massive wave, erupting into a vast cloud of white mist.

Two blue-glowing fists flashed out, striking the red fire dragon. The fire dragon's body exploded, turning into a sky full of raging flames.

The young woman in the purple skirt seemed to realize something and looked towards Wang Changsheng's location. Wang Changsheng had vanished, dissolving into specks of blue light.

Wang Changsheng appeared before the young woman in the purple skirt, his expression cold, wearing gauntlets on his hands.

The young woman in the purple skirt formed a hand seal, and a colossal purple blade slashed towards the void. A vast expanse of purple blade energy swept out, weaving into an impenetrable net of purple blades that enveloped Wang Changsheng. Simultaneously, a purple halo emanated from her body—the Law of Poison!

She had used the Law of Poison to kill True Immortal-stage Body Cultivators before, but she did not know that Wang Changsheng was a True Spirit.

True Spirits at the True Immortal stage and Body Cultivators at the True Immortal stage were two different concepts; the former were generally stronger than the latter.

The purple blade net enveloped Wang Changsheng, emitting dull clangs of metal striking metal. The colossal purple blade struck Wang Changsheng, directly piercing through his body—it was the 'Upright and Shadowless' technique.

Wang Changsheng's fists moved with a whooshing sound, smashing towards the purple halo.

With a dull thud, the purple halo shattered under his strike. His fists then struck the young woman's protective spiritual light, causing it to indent and flicker indistinctly.

The young woman in the purple skirt was greatly alarmed, as Wang Changsheng's fists erupted with dazzling blue light.

The young woman's protective spiritual light shattered, and Wang Changsheng's fist struck her chest, instantly sending her flying backward. She spat out a large mouthful of blood, and two gaping bloody holes appeared on her back.

A miniature Nascent Soul flew out of her body, but before it could travel far, it was enveloped by a ray of green light and swept into a colossal green pagoda.

Upon seeing his companion killed so quickly, the man in green was not only surprised but also broke out in a cold sweat. Green light flared around his body as he transformed into an afterimage, vanishing into the horizon.

He had mastered the Law of Speed, and his cultivation was higher than Wang Changsheng's, so Wang Changsheng could not catch him.

Wang Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief. If he had comprehended three Laws, he would have been confident in stopping both mid-True Immortal enemies with his Aperture Fusion Art. Unfortunately, he had not yet comprehended three Laws.

He searched the young woman in the purple skirt for her possessions. With a hand seal, eighteen Sea-Calming Beads flew out from the seabed and disappeared into his sleeve.

Wang Qingshan sighed, "We finally eliminated the enemy. It's a pity our immortal artifacts were taken, but at least they weren't our vital immortal artifacts." He lamented that Wang Changsheng had given them several low-grade immortal artifacts, which they had used in battle, but they were taken by the enemy's treasures.

Wang Changsheng replied, "He was lucky to escape, having mastered the Law of Speed. Let's return to the market city first; this time might be an opportunity for us."

Wang Changsheng flew back to the Jadeite Boat. With a hand seal, the Jadeite Boat glowed with dazzling green light and ascended towards the sky.

In a certain sea area, a young man in a red shirt and an old man in a green robe stood high in the sky, their brows deeply furrowed.

The red-shirted youth muttered to himself, "A substitute immortal artifact! He was lucky. Meng Tianrui had one, otherwise he would have been killed by us."

The green-robed elder took out a small, green-glowing mirror and poured a hand seal into it. The mirror surface lit up with a dazzling green light, revealing a short, stout man in a green shirt.

The green-robed elder asked, "How did it go? Did you succeed?"

The man in green replied, "No, their divine abilities are powerful. Senior Sister Yang has already been killed. You two should retreat quickly! You won't be able to leave once their reinforcements arrive."

After saying this, the man in green vanished, and the mirror surface dimmed.

The green-robed elder said, somewhat incredulously, "What? Lady Yang was killed? They couldn't handle a group of early-stage True Immortals?"

The red-shirted youth said, "Perhaps the enemies opened many apertures, or they possessed powerful treasures, exotic beasts, or secret talismans! Regardless, let's leave this place first, lest we get trapped."

After saying this, the red-shirted youth transformed into a red streak of light and departed, with the green-robed elder following closely behind.
