Chapter 4321: Obtaining the Hand

Both were mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortals, and Wang Changsheng was also somewhat renowned in Jinxiao City.

The young woman in the purple dress activated her spell, causing a scarlet sea of fire to surge and boil. Huge scarlet fire dragons, infused with the power of laws, flew out, lunging towards Wang Changsheng.

The old man in the golden robe radiated a brilliant golden light. He struck out with a palm, sending a gigantic, shimmering golden palm flying directly towards Wang Changsheng.

He shook his sleeve, and seven shimmering golden flying knives shot out. They were a set of mid-grade immortal artifacts, as not every Taiyi Golden Immortal possessed top-grade ones.

The seven golden flying knives merged into one, transforming into a gigantic, shimmering golden blade that slashed towards Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng flicked his sleeve, and a long-handled halberd, continuously swirling with blue light, shot out. It collided with the golden giant blade, producing a dull clang of metal on metal.

Wang Changsheng activated a spell, and a white halo swept out, swiftly passing over the bodies of the scarlet fire dragons. The dragons instantly froze and then shattered into pieces.

His right fist glowed brilliantly with golden light. He threw a punch, shattering the void, and a gigantic golden fist flashed out, heading directly for the young woman in the purple dress.

Wherever the golden giant fist passed, the void collapsed, and the ground crumbled. The scarlet flames completely dissipated, as if encountering their nemesis.

Heavenshaking Fist!

The young woman in the purple dress felt the terrifying aura emanating from the golden giant fist. Her expression changed, and she tried to dodge, but a powerful restraining force emerged, trapping her in place.

Unable to move and with no escape, a palm-sized purple shield flew out from her sleeve, positioning itself in front of her. At the same time, purple light flared brightly around her body, slightly weakening the restraining force.

The golden giant fist smashed into the purple shield. The purple shield, being only a mid-grade immortal artifact, shattered instantly, and the golden giant fist then struck the young woman in the purple dress. She was reduced to a spray of blood, her Nascent Soul obliterated.

Wang Changsheng unleashed a massive Tai Chi pattern. The golden giant palm struck the pattern, which rotated slightly, causing the golden giant palm to dissipate.

Witnessing this scene, the old man in the golden robe was terrified. He transformed into a streak of light and fled back the way he came.

Wang Changsheng's body flickered, becoming a blur. He instantly appeared, blocking the old man's escape, his right index finger glowing brilliantly with golden light as he lunged towards him.

The old man in the golden robe tried to evade, but a powerful restraining force trapped him in mid-air, preventing his escape.

Golden light erupted from the old man's body, the restraining force loosened slightly, and he met the attack with his right palm.

His right palm collided with Wang Changsheng's right index finger; it was like an egg hitting a rock. Wang Changsheng's right index finger pierced through the old man's palm, and a streak of golden light shot out, piercing through the old man's head. A miniature Nascent Soul flew out of his body, splitting into a hundred and flying in different directions.

Just then, a powerful restraining force emerged, trapping hundreds of Nascent Souls in mid-air.

A blue glow swept over them, enveloping these Nascent Souls and drawing them into a colossal tower shimmering with blue light.

A million miles away, beneath a towering tree, Daoist Moyun stood wide-eyed with shock, holding a shimmering golden orb in his hand.

He had witnessed the entire combat process; the two Taiyi Golden Immortals were no match for Wang Changsheng.

Without hesitation, golden light flared brightly around his body, and he submerged himself into the ground.

Just then, a blur flashed into existence, revealing Wang Changsheng's figure.

He activated the Daoist technique, Sky-Treading Step, and pursued at top speed.

His right fist glowed brilliantly with blue light. He threw a punch, and a gigantic blue fist flashed out, striking the ground.

With a deafening roar, the ground for millions of miles around exploded, sending up clouds of dust. A faint scream could be heard.

A shimmering purple flying knife flew out from the dust, instantly appearing before Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng summoned a blue halberd, blocking the purple flying knife.

Daoist Moyun flew out from the dust. He raised his right hand, and a streak of purple light shot out, transforming into a massive purple thundercloud. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, as countless purple lightning snakes writhed within the thundercloud.

A clap of thunder sounded, and an extraordinarily thick bolt of purple lightning streaked across the sky, striking towards Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng showed no fear. His right fist surged with blue light, and he met the attack.

The purple lightning was shattered by his punch, and purple lightning enveloped Wang Changsheng's body.

Before the lightning dissipated, Wang Changsheng flew out from within it, his body completely unharmed.

"How is that possible!" Daoist Moyun exclaimed in surprise. "Even a Taiyi Golden Immortal who has cultivated to a peak true spirit wouldn't dare to withstand that directly! Yet, the opponent is completely fine. Could he have an immortal physique?"

He had no time to think further; Wang Changsheng was already before him.

A dazzling white light erupted from Daoist Moyun's right hand, manifesting the perfected Law of Life.

He struck out with a palm, sending a gigantic, shimmering white palm flying directly towards Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng's right fist glowed brilliantly with blue light. He threw a punch, and a gigantic blue fist flashed out, colliding with the white giant palm and shattering the latter instantly.

The blue giant fist struck Daoist Moyun's body, tearing it apart and turning it into a bloody mist. As soon as a miniature Nascent Soul emerged from his body, it was immediately trapped by a powerful restraining force.

A massive, shimmering blue hand descended from the sky, grasping the miniature Nascent Soul.

Wang Changsheng used a soul-searching secret technique to search its memories, confirming it was indeed Daoist Moyun.

He felt somewhat fortunate that Daoist Moyun had actually sent a clone to look for them, but the clone had been killed, and Daoist Moyun was busy plundering the Blue Crane Merchant Alliance's assets.

Daoist Moyun already suspected the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple, but he was preoccupied. Had he finished his current tasks, he would have gone to the Kunlun Immortal City's territory to avoid attention, at which point Wang Changsheng's risk of exposure would have been significant.

"Don't kill me, Fellow Daoist, please don't kill me! I'm willing to offer all my possessions to you and serve as your slave!"

The miniature Nascent Soul pleaded for mercy.

He was filled with deep regret. It seemed the opponent was indeed Immortal Lord Taihao. What puzzled him was how the opponent knew his whereabouts and identity; if it was a coincidence, it was too much of one.

Wang Changsheng let out a cold snort. He took out a shimmering silver talisman, placed it on the miniature Nascent Soul, and then put the Nascent Soul into a jade box. He affixed a golden talisman to the box's surface and stored it in his storage bracelet.

He plundered Daoist Moyun's possessions, burned the body, and flew towards Jinxiao City.

Upon returning to Qingli Pavilion, Wang Changsheng met Wang Ruyan.

"How did it go? Is Jin Hao dealt with?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"Yes, he's dealt with," she replied. "He was very cautious and unwilling to come to us, so Mengli went to him. Fortunately, my husband refined an Illusionary Sound Bell for Mengli, and with the third-tier immortal talisman I made, Mengli quickly gained control of him and sealed him within a treasure."

Wang Ruyan briefly recounted what had happened.

"I also succeeded on my end," Wang Changsheng said, sounding somewhat fortunate. "There were two Taiyi Golden Immortals following him. If I hadn't mastered the Sky-Treading Step, he might have escaped."

"Since he's dealt with, let's return to Azure Lotus City!" Wang Ruyan suggested.

Wang Changsheng nodded. He gathered Wang Mengshan and the others, and the group departed from Jinxiao City.
