Chapter 3853: Lin Yiming Shows His Might

Guǐyúnzi was dumbfounded. He had painstakingly cultivated his ghost creature for years, finally elevating it to the True Immortal stage. This creature had helped him eliminate numerous powerful enemies, and now, it was instantly killed. His heart ached terribly.

Before he could react, a giant fist shimmering with green light shot towards him, appearing before him in an instant.

Guǐyúnzi opened his mouth, and nine black-glowing flying daggers shot forth. Their blades bore terrifying ghost faces, emitting wailing cries.

The nine black flying daggers shattered the green giant fist. Simultaneously, a large amount of black spectral energy surged from his body.

A whooshing sound pierced the air as a thick pillar of blood-red light shot towards him.

Guǐyúnzi lightly pointed a finger, and the nine black flying daggers, wailing mournfully, merged into a single, black-glowing giant blade, which then shattered the blood-red light pillar.

A multitude of fine blood-red threads shot forth, weaving into a blood-red net that enveloped the black giant blade.

The other end of the blood-red net was held in the mouth of the Bǎimù Xuèguǐ. Lín Yīmíng's eyes glowed with a black halo that swept over the black giant blade. The blade immediately emitted a piercing wail, then a puff of green smoke, before transforming back into nine black flying daggers.

Guǐyúnzi frowned deeply. It was one thing for Grandmaster Taihao to be so formidable, but even the Wang family juniors were this powerful?

They were both ghost cultivators, yet the opponent's techniques were far superior to his own.

A fierce gust of wind blew, and Lóng Qīngfēng materialized behind Guǐyúnzi. The Law of Wind!

Lóng Qīngfēng's body radiated dazzling green light, enveloping an area hundreds of miles in radius, causing the air to cease movement.

His right fist glowed with blinding green light, transforming into a green dragon claw that shot directly towards Guǐyúnzi.

Guǐyúnzi was terrified. He quickly slapped the black jade pendant at his waist, which instantly glowed brightly, conjuring a black light barrier to protect him. The barrier's surface bore a terrifying ghost face.

Lóng Qīngfēng's right claw struck the black light barrier, causing it to indent. Immediately, a thick water vortex shot skyward, heading straight for Lóng Qīngfēng.

Lóng Qīngfēng's body radiated intense green light and then he vanished.

Dozens of thick blood-red lights shot towards Guǐyúnzi. Just as he was about to dodge, a piercing wail of a ghost sounded, making him feel instantly dizzy and disoriented.

By the time he recovered, the dozens of blood-red lights had struck the black light barrier, causing it to twist, deform, and its spiritual glow to dim.

Lín Yīmíng opened his mouth and spat out a beam of blood-red light, which transformed into a gigantic blood-red pair of scissors with terrifying ghost faces etched onto its blades.

The Heavenly Ghost Scissors!

The blood-red scissors opened and closed, flying directly towards Guǐyúnzi.

The young woman in the blue dress and her companions quickly intervened, summoning their immortal artifacts to counter the Heavenly Ghost Scissors.

Wáng Ruìxuě chanted a spell, and her white orb instantly glowed, transforming into a giant white python. The python opened its gaping maw and spewed forth a sheet of white mystical light, which enveloped the incoming immortal artifacts, freezing them all solid.

The Heavenly Ghost Scissors struck the black light barrier, which shattered instantly as if it were made of paper.

The Heavenly Ghost Scissors swept past Guǐyúnzi's head, which rolled to the ground. As a miniature Nascent Soul emerged from his body, the ghostly creature on the Heavenly Ghost Scissors spewed a stream of blood-red mystical light, enveloping the Nascent Soul and drawing it into the scissors.

Guǐyúnzi had fallen. The young woman in the blue dress and her three companions were greatly alarmed, filled with deep regret. Had they known such powerful masters were present, they would never have interfered.

The young woman in the blue dress chanted a spell, and over a dozen thick water vortices shot skyward, heading directly for Wáng Ruìxuě and her two companions. Simultaneously, she summoned a golden-glowing talisman and sent it flying towards the green giant ship.

With a thunderous roar, the golden talisman exploded instantly upon approaching within a thousand feet of the green giant ship, unleashing a massive ball of golden lightning that shot skyward.

Just as the young woman in the blue dress was about to cast an escape spell, she caught a pungent scent of blood and felt dizzy. The Bǎimù Xuèguǐ had appeared behind her.

Startled, she was about to cast an attack spell on the Bǎimù Xuèguǐ when an extremely piercing ghost wail sounded. The young woman in the blue dress immediately felt disoriented and struggled to stand upright.

The Bǎimù Xuèguǐ spewed a foul-smelling, blood-red flame that landed on the blue water barrier. The barrier emitted a puff of green smoke, and its spiritual glow dimmed.

Its ghostly claws shot straight towards the blue water barrier, tearing it to shreds.

The young woman in the blue dress's pupils contracted as two blood-red ghostly claws pierced her chest, one gripping her heart.

A miniature Nascent Soul had just left her body when it was enveloped by a stream of blood-red mystical light, drawn into the creature's mouth, and devoured.

The other three True Immortal cultivators were no match at all. Wáng Ruìxuě summoned a True Immortal stage puppet beast, and the three of them combined forces, quickly eliminating the remaining three enemies and capturing two Nascent Souls. "Yīmíng, well done,"

Lóng Qīngfēng praised.

Lín Yīmíng's performance in this battle was excellent.

Lín Yīmíng had married a female cultivator from the Wang family, making Lóng Qīngfēng his senior.

"Grand Ancestor Qingfeng, you flatter me. This was a collective effort."

Lín Yīmíng replied modestly, a wide smile on his face.

He was also pleased to be able to contribute to the family.

Wáng Ruìxuě held a miniature Nascent Soul in her hand, enveloped in a stream of white mystical light.

After a moment, she put away the miniature Nascent Soul and stated, "They attacked us under orders."

"Under orders? Who was behind this?"

Lóng Qīngfēng asked with a frown.

"The True Immortal cultivator who contacted them claimed to be from the Tiānshòu Zōng. They were promised a cultivation method for opening five apertures if they succeeded."

Wáng Ruìxuě explained.

The Tiānshòu Zōng still had some True Immortal cultivators, but having lost most of its territory and with few remaining sources of income, it existed in name only.

The Tiānshòu Zōng had a motive to target the Wang family, but it hardly seemed worth the effort, as the ship carried no precious cultivation resources—at most, they would have gained a small sum of wealth.

What puzzled her most was why, if the Tiānshòu Zōng truly intended to target the Wang family, their own True Immortal cultivators didn't act. It wouldn't be difficult for them to change their appearance and infiltrate the Jiǔxiān Zōng's territory undetected!

"The Tiānshòu Zōng! Hmph, they are truly persistent. Let's report this to the Patriarch and let him decide! For now, we should deliver the goods to the market."

Lóng Qīngfēng suggested.

Wáng Ruìxuě nodded, then took out a white-glowing communication mirror. She cast a spell into it, and soon, Wáng Yǒngqiān's face appeared on the mirror's surface.

"Ruìxuě," Wáng Yǒngqiān said, "I heard you were attacked. I've already dispatched reinforcements."

"Patriarch, the reinforcements aren't needed. We've already dealt with them; they were merely True Immortal cultivators who had opened three apertures."

Wáng Ruìxuě then recounted the entire incident.

Wāng Rúyān had acquired several Moonlight Immortal Fruits at the Golden Immortal Grand Ceremony, and Wáng Qīngbǎi had successfully refined the Moonlight Pills. Both Lóng Qīngfēng and Lín Yīmíng had subsequently opened four apertures.

"The Tiānshòu Zōng! I understand. Be cautious on your journey. There might be a second wave of attacks, so it would be best to change your route."

Wáng Yǒngqiān warned.

"Understood. Please recall the reinforcements. Grand Ancestor Qingfeng and Grand Ancestor Yiming are both very strong; we can handle this."

Wáng Ruìxuě replied.

Wáng Yǒngqiān agreed and ended the communication.

Wáng Ruìxuě chanted a spell, and the green giant ship radiated a dazzling green light as it ascended into the sky.
