Chapter 4148: First Victory (No More Today)

Twenty-two Seven-colored Chaos Beasts of the Golden Immortal stage, one of them wielding a black long spear, split into two groups and charged directly at Murong Yilong and Wang Changsheng.

They intended to use their numerical superiority to kill Wang Changsheng and Murong Yilong. It was a good plan, but they had chosen the wrong targets.

Murong Yilong's right fist glowed with golden light and shot straight towards the head of a Seven-colored Chaos Beast.

With a muffled thud, the Seven-colored Chaos Beast was sent flying by Murong Yilong's punch. It flew backward, crashing heavily onto the ground, its head bleeding profusely. Murong Yilong had struck the Seven-colored Chaos Beast's vital spot, killing it with a single blow.

Murong Yilong looked towards Wang Changsheng and was surprised to find that Wang Changsheng's right index finger had effortlessly pierced through the head of a Seven-colored Chaos Beast, even more easily than he had.

A whooshing sound pierced the air as a black long spear shot forth, instantly appearing before Wang Changsheng.

Just as Wang Changsheng was about to dodge, a powerful gravitational force emerged from the ground, firmly pinning him to it.

In front of the other cultivators, Wang Changsheng could not reveal too many of his trump cards. His right fist glowed with blue light as he smashed it towards the black long spear. With a metallic clang, the black long spear was deflected from its trajectory.

A series of whooshing sounds followed as dozens of sharp quills shot out, striking Wang Changsheng one after another, emitting muffled clangs of metal on impact.

Wang Changsheng, being a peak true spirit, was not afraid of these attacks at all. However, other Golden Immortals were not peak true spirits.

Ten Chaos Beasts, resembling porcupines, simultaneously let out a low growl. They were all at the Golden Immortal stage, and each fired dozens of sharp quills from their bodies directly at three Golden Immortal cultivators.

The defensive immortal artifacts of the three Golden Immortal cultivators were like paper, easily pierced by the dense barrage of quills. A large number of quills effortlessly penetrated their defenses, turning them into sieves.

Three miniature nascent souls flew out of their bodies, but before they could get far, they were overtaken by the dense quills and perished. "Beasts, how dare you!"

Murong Yilong roared, his figure flickered, appearing before a six-colored Chaos Beast resembling a porcupine, and he smashed his right fist towards its head.

The Chaos Beast tried to dodge, but a powerful gravitational force, the Law of Gravity, emerged from the ground.

If it were a minor perfected law, it would naturally be difficult to restrain a Golden Immortal stage Chaos Beast. But this was a major perfected law.

This Chaos Beast could not dodge at all. Its head took a punch from Murong Yilong, shattering into pieces, and it perished on the spot. Murong Yilong's figure flickered again, appearing before another six-colored Chaos Beast resembling a porcupine, and he delivered another punch.

A mournful wail rang out, and another six-colored Chaos Beast perished.

Relying on his major perfected Law of Speed, Murong Yilong effortlessly killed Golden Immortal stage Chaos Beasts, greatly relieving the pressure on the immortals. However, Wang Changsheng was in trouble, as he was attacked by over a dozen Seven-colored Chaos Beasts, including a mutated one.

Wang Changsheng, relying on his Three Qiankun Fingers, caused the other Seven-colored Chaos Beasts (except for the mutated one) to not dare approach him. Several Seven-colored Chaos Beasts had already died by his Three Qiankun Fingers.

Wang Mengbin and other Golden Immortal cultivators were also entangled by Golden Immortal stage Chaos Beasts, unable to break free and help Wang Changsheng. Murong Yilong had no interest in helping Wang Changsheng. He used the Law of Speed to approach the Chaos Beasts, then the Law of Strength to kill them.

He intended to use the Chaos Beasts to eliminate Wang Changsheng.

A Seven-colored Chaos Beast, resembling a bat, descended from the sky, its sharp claws reaching for Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng's right index finger glowed with golden light as he met the attack.

With a muffled thud, his right index finger pierced through the Seven-colored Chaos Beast's sharp claws. Another Seven-colored Chaos Beast charged over and crashed into Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng felt a huge force hit him, sending him flying backward. Before he could stand up, two Seven-colored Chaos Beasts descended from the sky, pouncing on him.

Wang Changsheng's body glowed with blue light, then dispersed into specks of blue light and vanished.

The next moment, he appeared hundreds of miles away in the void, with a pair of white, shimmering wings on his back.

Over a dozen Seven-colored Chaos Beasts rushed towards him, including the mutated one.

They seemed to have reached a tacit understanding to eliminate Wang Changsheng first.

Wang Changsheng let out a cold snort, lightly flapped the white wings on his back, and flew towards the distance. The dozen or so Seven-colored Chaos Beasts gave chase. Murong Yilong felt a surge of secret joy and did not follow, remaining to kill Chaos Beasts where he was.

Murong Yilong was like a god of slaughter; wherever he went, Chaos Beasts fell one by one, their heads gushing blood.

The Chaos Beasts, realizing they were outmatched, scattered and fled for their lives in all directions.

"Do not pursue fleeing enemies," Cao Yuanxing said. "Fellow Daoist Yu and Fellow Daoist Song, you two stay behind to look after the rescued immortals. Fellow Daoist Murong, Fellow Daoist Ni, quickly follow me to help Fellow Daoist Wang. He won't be able to hold on much longer by himself."

They chased in the direction Wang Changsheng had gone. After flying for several million miles, they saw Wang Changsheng. Murong Yilong's face was filled with shock, as if he had witnessed something bizarre. Many corpses of Seven-colored Chaos Beasts lay on the ground, but the mutated Seven-colored Chaos Beast was nowhere to be found.

Wang Changsheng's face was pale, looking as if his immortal vitality had been excessively depleted. There were several long bloody gashes on his body, turning him into a bloodied figure. He had used the Daoist spell "Sky-Treading Steps" to approach the mutated Seven-colored Chaos Beast and employed the "Aperture Fusion Art," merging seven laws, to finally eliminate the mutated Seven-colored Chaos Beast with great difficulty.

Using the Daoist spell would create too much commotion, potentially attracting other Golden Immortal cultivators at any moment. Wang Changsheng dared not take the risk, so he could only use the "Aperture Fusion Art." It took him great effort to finally eliminate the mutated Seven-colored Chaos Beast, and he was also injured, though not severely.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, where is the mutated Seven-colored Chaos Beast?" Cao Yuanxing asked.

"I wounded it, and it fled," Wang Changsheng replied, collecting the Chaos Beasts' corpses. "How about the other Chaos Beasts? Have they been dealt with?"

"We eliminated most of them, and the rest scattered and fled," Cao Yuanxing said, a hint of disbelief in his voice. "The mutated Seven-colored Chaos Beast ran away?"

The mutated Seven-colored Chaos Beast was extremely powerful; how could it have possibly run away?

"Yes!" Wang Changsheng explained. "I killed its companions, so it couldn't stand alone. I wounded it, and it had no choice but to flee."

"It's good that Fellow Daoist Wang is alright," Ni Tianlong said. "Let's head back! Senior Cao is still waiting for us!"

Cao Yuanxing nodded, not pressing for more questions, and they returned the way they came.

In this battle, twelve Golden Immortal cultivators perished, and over three hundred Immortal Armored soldiers were lost. Although the overall forces suffered significant casualties, the Immortal Armored soldiers of the Wang and Cao families sustained minimal losses. Over nine hundred Chaos Beasts were slain, more than eighty of which were Golden Immortal stage Chaos Beasts. The majority of these were killed by Murong Yilong.

If the Wang family cultivators had not brought over fifty Immortal-Slaying Arrows and killed hundreds of three-colored Chaos Beasts, the Immortal Armored army would have suffered even greater losses. Of course, Murong Yilong's contribution was also significant; had he not eliminated a large number of Golden Immortal stage Chaos Beasts, the number of fallen Golden Immortal cultivators would not have been limited to twelve.

They divided the Chaos Beast corpses according to their contributions, and Murong Yilong's gains were considerable.

An hour later, Cao Mingjing and his two companions returned.

"Old Ancestor Mingjing, is it resolved?" Cao Yuanxing asked.

"It was just an ordinary Seven-colored Chaos Beast, not a mutated one," Lei Yaoyao replied. "Naturally, it was no match for us."

With two late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortals from the Nangong Immortal Clan making a move, using high-grade immortal artifacts and major perfected laws, eliminating an ordinary Seven-colored Chaos Beast was certainly not a problem.

"Madam Lei, what are our next steps?" Cao Mingjing asked. "Should we rendezvous with Fellow Daoist Nangong?"

"We'll intercept small groups of Chaos Beasts first," Lei Yaoyao said. "Old Ancestor Yueshuo has already led a team to intercept the main force of the Hulan tribe. We just need to deal with the stragglers."

Cao Mingjing brought out a golden shimmering flying boat and stepped onto it.

They successively boarded the golden flying boat. Cao Mingjing cast a spell, and the golden flying boat glowed with golden light, flying off into the distance.
