Chapter 4200: Ambushing Murong Yilong

A vast, boundless plain lay under a clear, cloudless sky, utterly devoid of any human presence.

Ten thousand feet beneath the ground, Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Wang Tunian were enveloped in a yellow ball of light.

Wang Ruyan held a blue Celestial Transmission Mirror in her hand. Cui Yao's image appeared on its surface, reporting Murong Yilong's movements to Wang Ruyan. Wang Tunian's eyes gleamed with dazzling yellow light as he surveyed the situation above ground.

"Ancestor, Murong Yilong has left the Hulian Mountains and is moving towards the Canglan Grasslands. He might be taking a detour to return to Chiyan City," Cui Yao reported. Murong Yilong did not return to Chiyan City by his original route, indicating his extreme caution.

"Let's go, we must intercept him and kill him," Wang Changsheng declared. As he spoke, he performed a hand seal, and the yellow light ball immediately brightened, enveloping them and moving swiftly.

Two days later, they arrived at the Canglan Grasslands and waited quietly underground.

"Master, a man and a woman are approaching, but it's not Murong Yilong," Wang Tunian reported.

"They must have used a secret technique to alter their appearance. It's normal that you can't discern their true forms," Wang Changsheng analyzed, explaining that there are many types of spirit eyes, each with different abilities.

Wang Ruyan used the Celestial Transmission Mirror to contact Cui Yao, confirming that Murong Yilong was indeed moving in their direction.

"They went to the Hulian Mountains and then changed their appearances. Is there something illicit about their activities?" Wang Ruyan wondered.

"We'll find out once we kill them and search their souls. I'll deal with Murong Yilong, and you handle Du Yan. We need to finish this quickly," Wang Changsheng said, his voice filled with killing intent.

Above ground, two streaks of light swiftly swept across the sky.

As the two light streaks passed over a towering earthen mound, the ground exploded, sending up clouds of dust and smoke. A gigantic yellow fist shot out, heading directly for the two streaks of light. Within a million-li radius, the earth transformed into sand. A fierce wind raged, filling the sky with yellow dust, and a vast yellow desert suddenly materialized.

The two streaks of light halted, revealing a burly young man in a golden robe and a full-figured young woman in a red dress. Their expressions were grave.

"Great Perfection Law!" the golden-robed young man exclaimed, frowning. His right hand glowed with golden light, and he punched out. A piercing whoosh echoed through the void as a golden giant fist flew forth to meet the attack. The young woman in the red dress performed a hand seal with her right hand. A vast expanse of crimson flames erupted from the ground, transforming the million-li radius into a sea of crimson fire. Under the Law of Fire, the yellow sand instantly melted.

The yellow giant fist collided with the golden giant fist; the latter instantly disintegrated, while the yellow giant fist continued towards the golden-robed young man. The golden-robed young man summoned twelve golden, shimmering short blades. They instantly merged into a single colossal golden blade, which slashed towards the yellow giant fist. With a loud bang, the golden giant blade was sent flying backward, and the yellow giant fist also dispersed.

"Daoist Taihao, are you going to do something and not admit it?" the golden-robed young man shouted, revealing his true face – it was Murong Yilong. The assailant had to be a Golden Immortal; otherwise, there would be no need to hide in the shadows. There were not many Golden Immortal cultivators who had mastered a Great Perfection Law within the Cao family's territory. Daoist Taihao was highly suspected of daring to attack them.

Murong Yilong couldn't fathom how Daoist Taihao knew their whereabouts. He hadn't told anyone, and they had even taken a detour specifically to avoid being discovered by other Golden Immortal cultivators. Could it be that Daoist Taihao had been watching them all along? But how would Daoist Taihao know they had left?

There was no response. Instead, a sound like surging waves erupted as countless torrents of seawater appeared, churning and rolling. A colossal blue water dragon soared into the sky and charged towards them. This was not a manifestation of magic power, but an attack by a Law.

A dazzling white light erupted from Murong Yilong's palm. He struck downward with his right hand, and a massive white palm flashed forth, striking towards the blue water dragon. The white giant palm collided with the blue water dragon; the water dragon instantly froze. However, the ice quickly shattered, and a yellow giant dragon flew out, shattering the white giant palm and heading straight for Murong Yilong.

"A combined attack technique!" Murong Yilong exclaimed in surprise. He hadn't expected the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple to also possess combined attack techniques.

Above them, the void rippled, and a massive void appeared. Ethereal music filled the air as a blue giant palm, covered in enigmatic musical notes, flew out of the void and struck towards Du Yan.

Du Yan struck her chest with her right hand, causing a thick red light barrier to materialize out of thin air, protecting her entire body. She also summoned a set of mid-grade Chaos Armor and donned it. She performed a hand seal, and countless crimson flames surged forth, transforming into a gigantic red lotus that moved to meet the attack. The red lotus collided with the blue giant palm, an effort as futile as hitting a rock with an egg; it instantly disintegrated. The blue giant palm arrived before Du Yan, tearing open the nearby void.

Du Yan tried to evade, but a powerful binding force materialized out of thin air, immobilizing her. Unable to dodge, she opened her mouth, and five red-glowing short knives shot out. They merged into a single colossal red blade, which flew forth to intercept the palm. With a dull thud, the red giant blade was instantly sent flying back. The blue giant palm struck the red light barrier, which shattered immediately. The blue giant palm struck Du Yan's body. Her pupils contracted, and a look of pain crossed her face.

"A combined attack technique," Du Yan gasped. The void rippled again, and a gigantic, constantly flashing red tower appeared, spewing out a stream of red light that enveloped Du Yan.

Du Yan's hands glowed with bright white light as she struck the void. The void froze, then shattered, weakening the binding force. Just as she was about to evade, a stirring zither melody rang out. Her head buzzed, and an unbearable sharp pain surged through her soul sea. By the time she recovered, she was already encased in the red light, her body rapidly shrinking as she was pulled into the red giant tower.

Meanwhile, Murong Yilong, wielding a golden three-pointed double-edged blade, sliced the yellow giant dragon in half. A dazzling blood-red light erupted from Murong Yilong's right fist. He punched out, and a blood-red giant fist flashed forth, heading directly for the ground. This was the Law of Blood, highly effective against peak True Spirits.

Just then, a massive Tai Chi diagram appeared on the ground, representing the Law of Yin and Yang. The blood-red giant fist struck the Tai Chi diagram. The diagram spun rapidly, and the blood-red giant fist disintegrated and vanished.

"The Law of Yin and Yang! It really is you," Murong Yilong exclaimed.

A blue long rainbow flew out from underground, speeding directly towards Murong Yilong. Murong Yilong swung his blade, blocking the blue long rainbow. Ripples appeared behind him, and a massive void materialized.

Murong Yilong was startled. Just as he was about to cast a spell, an astonishing wave of killing intent surged into his Sea of Consciousness, instantly unsettling him. Wang Changsheng flew out from the void, his right index finger glowing with golden light, heading straight for Murong Yilong.

As Murong Yilong tried to evade, an ethereal melody resonated. He felt his soul sea on the verge of collapsing, and his body trembled. Immediately after, he felt an intense pain in the back of his head. Wang Changsheng's right index finger effortlessly pierced through Murong Yilong's head. He hadn't even used the Law of Soul; it would have been overkill, like using an ox-slaughtering knife for a chicken. Murong Yilong didn't even possess a single high-grade immortal artifact. With just his Great Perfection Laws and his spirit beast's cooperation, Wang Changsheng was capable of annihilating Murong Yilong.
