Chapter 595: Exposed

Boom!

The Jade Ruyi Club struck the Crying Infant Beast, and a powerful recoil hit, numbing the webbing between Wang Changsheng's thumb and forefinger.

Wang Changsheng frowned slightly, glancing at the Crying Infant Beast and Immortal Ziyue, a look of confusion in his eyes.

Immortal Ziyue actively attacking the Crying Infant Beast, and the beast attacking her, was easily understandable. However, why was this third-tier, mid-grade Crying Infant Beast specifically targeting Wang Changsheng? Logically, it should have attacked Wang Ruyan. Was it just a coincidence?

A sharp, piercing cry like a baby's wail rang out.

Upon hearing it, Wang Changsheng felt an intense pain in his spiritual consciousness, and his head spun. A large swathe of crimson flames flew towards him, engulfing his body in a terrifying heat wave.

The Crying Infant Beast flapped the wings on its back, sending hundreds of crimson fireballs flying towards Wang Ruyan and Wang Huashan. It then beat its fleshy wings and lunged at Wang Changsheng, its gaping maw open as if to swallow him whole.

Wang Ruyan, of course, would not let it have its way. Her slender fingers swiftly glided over the pipa strings. A low pipa melody sounded, and an invisible sound wave shot out, blocking the Crying Infant Beast.

The Crying Infant Beast felt as if it had slammed into an invisible wind wall. The wall was thick, and its massive body could not advance against it.

A yellow flying dagger shot forth, striking the Crying Infant Beast, but only leaving a shallow white mark.

A dazzling blue light flared within the flames, and the flames vanished.

Wang Changsheng's clothes showed clear burn marks, but he himself was unharmed.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the Crying Infant Beast shattered the invisible sound wave and charged directly at Wang Changsheng.

Its speed was astonishingly fast. Wang Changsheng didn't stand idly by; the Qian Yuan Wings appeared on his back, allowing him to quickly create distance. The Jade Ruyi Club glowed brightly, and he swung it at the Crying Infant Beast.

Struck by the Jade Ruyi Club, the Crying Infant Beast let out a strange howl. It flapped its wings and lunged at Wang Huashan with extreme speed.

Wang Huashan's expression slightly changed. He only had one magic treasure, and it wouldn't be enough to stop the Crying Infant Beast.

Just then, a yellow sand dragon lunged forward, blocking the Crying Infant Beast's path, followed closely by five white ice pythons.

The Crying Infant Beast let out a baby's cry from its mouth, and an invisible sound wave shot out.

The yellow sand dragon collided with the invisible sound wave, resulting in a tremendous roar and surging air currents.

A loud whooshing sound filled the air as thousands of yellow flying needles shot forth, striking the Crying Infant Beast. However, they caused little damage, not even piercing its hide, which was testament to its immense defense.

The Crying Infant Beast opened its massive maw, and a large swathe of crimson flames burst out, attacking the three of them.

Before the flames even reached them, a towering wave of heat surged towards them.

Wang Changsheng formed a hand seal, and the Cold Cloud Bottle glowed intensely, emitting a thick white beam of light that transformed into a massive white ice wall, shielding them.

The crimson flames struck the white ice wall, erupting into a large cloud of white mist, and a huge wave of air swept outwards.

The Crying Infant Beast burst out from the white mist, instantly appearing before Wang Ruyan.

"Oh no, be careful, my lady!" Wang Changsheng's heart leaped into his throat as he exclaimed.

Wang Ruyan's beautiful face slightly changed. Her fingers quickly glided over the pipa strings. With a flash of blue light, a sheet of blue ethereal glow flew out, transforming into a blue water curtain over ten meters high, shielding her.

Boom!

The Crying Infant Beast's massive body slammed into the blue water curtain, which shattered into countless droplets of water.

Seizing the opportunity, the Spirit Boots on Wang Ruyan's feet glowed intensely, and she drifted backward as swiftly as a gentle breeze.

These Spirit Boots were genuine flying magic treasures, which Wang Changsheng had specifically given to Wang Ruyan for this very purpose, and they proved useful.

The Crying Infant Beast seemed to have fixed its target on Wang Ruyan, continuously flapping its fleshy wings and rapidly lunging towards her.

"Beast, you're courting death!" A cold glint flashed in Wang Changsheng's eyes. The Jade Ruyi Club in his hand burst forth with dazzling light, its size more than doubling.

Dozens of staff shadows flew out, resembling towering mountains descending with overwhelming force upon the Crying Infant Beast.

The Crying Infant Beast seemed to sense something; it lifted its head and spewed forth rolling flames, striking the numerous staff shadows.

With an earth-shattering roar, the numerous staff shadows and crimson flames collided and vanished without a trace. A powerful air current swept outwards, causing the sea beneath Wang Ruyan to churn violently.

The Crying Infant Beast fiercely flapped its fleshy wings, more than doubling its speed, and lunged at Wang Ruyan.

Wang Ruyan's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes turned cold. The Spirit Boots on her feet flared with light, and she swiftly flew backward, her slender fingers rapidly gliding over the pipa strings.

A series of low pipa melodies resounded, and hundreds of gigantic wind blades flew out, overwhelmingly striking the Crying Infant Beast.

Wang Ruyan continuously retreated, while simultaneously controlling the Mysterious Moon Pipa to release gigantic wind blades, slashing at the Crying Infant Beast.

The dense barrage of gigantic wind blades struck the Crying Infant Beast, causing it no harm, only leaving faint, almost invisible, blood marks.

It seemed to have fixed its target on Wang Ruyan, relentlessly pursuing her. When Wang Changsheng and Wang Huashan attacked it, the Crying Infant Beast would counter with fire. With its pair of fleshy wings, its movements were agile, leaving Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan at a loss.

A mournful baby's cry rang out. The Crying Infant Beast's body glowed intensely red, and its escape speed increased once more.

Just as Wang Ruyan was about to flee, a mournful baby's cry rang out.

She felt an unbearable pain in her spiritual consciousness, her head spinning and aching.

When she regained her clarity, the Crying Infant Beast was already in front of her, its gaping maw open, lunging to bite her.

Wang Ruyan was startled. She pulled one of the pipa strings and lightly plucked it. A wind blade over ten meters long shot out, striking the Crying Infant Beast, but only leaving a shallow white mark.

Just then, a several-meter-wide vortex suddenly appeared in the void above the Crying Infant Beast's head. A gigantic palm, imbued with blue lightning, flew out from it, striking the Crying Infant Beast precisely.

Boom!

A large expanse of blue lightning enveloped the Crying Infant Beast's body. A powerful air current swept outwards in all directions, and Wang Ruyan used the momentum to retreat.

A piercing whooshing sound filled the air as a massive blue club descended from the sky, striking the blue lightning.

A mournful baby's cry rang out as the Crying Infant Beast fell out of the blue lightning. Its body was charred black, with numerous visible bloodstains, and its right wing appeared twisted, indicating it was injured.

To save Wang Ruyan, Wang Changsheng had still used the spirit art, Spirit Exterminating Palm.

The Crying Infant Beast seemed to realize Wang Changsheng's formidable power. It opened its mouth and spewed a large swathe of crimson flames towards Wang Ruyan, then flapped its fleshy wings and swiftly plunged into the sea.

A low pipa melody sounded, and an invisible sound wave shot out, shattering the crimson flames.

Upon seeing the giant blue palm, Immortal Ziyue's beautiful eyes were filled with excitement. However, she quickly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, the other Crying Infant Beast seemed to sense something. It spewed a stream of crimson flames towards Immortal Ziyue, then fiercely flapped its wings and flew towards the sea.

The Crying Infant Beasts had thick hides and tough flesh; without a formation to trap them, it was difficult to kill them.

"My lady, are you alright?" Wang Changsheng flew to Wang Ruyan's side and asked with concern.

Seeing the concern in Wang Changsheng's eyes, Wang Ruyan smiled sweetly and shook her head, saying, "I'm fine. It's a pity that beast got away."

Wang Changsheng let out a sigh of relief. He looked at Immortal Ziyue and said meaningfully, "Immortal Ziyue, these two Crying Infant Beasts are exceptionally intelligent! They keep changing targets; ordinary demonic beasts don't act like this. It's as if someone is controlling them."
