Chapter 610: Encountering the Twin Blue Koi

In the South Sea, Five-Dragon Sea region, on an unnamed desolate island, seven or eight calf-sized azure fish-demons lay on the sandy beach. Each one was impaled by thick yellow spears, pinned to the sand, bleeding profusely.

The azure fish-demons struggled violently, letting out strange roars. Seawater washed ashore, carrying away large amounts of blood.

Suddenly, a group of dark figures appeared high in the sky. They circled a few times before rapidly diving down towards the azure fish-demons.

In less than three breaths, the dark figures appeared directly above the beach, revealing themselves as a flock of giant black eagles.

The feathers on the black eagles' wings resembled iron plates, exuding a metallic sheen. Their beaks were flat like a duck's, making them quite ugly in appearance.

There were two third-rank demonic birds and over fifty second-rank demonic birds.

As soon as they appeared above the beach, countless yellow mists suddenly emerged, instantly enveloping all the demonic birds.

Realizing they had been tricked, the demonic birds spun around, attempting to escape, but it was too late. A massive yellow barrier of light enclosed them.

With loud 'whooshing' sounds, a large number of yellow spears, hundreds of them, shot up from the ground, striking towards the black demonic birds.

The two black demonic birds fiercely flapped their wings, unleashing a barrage of black wind blades that shattered the yellow spears.

Just then, a powerful gravitational force suddenly appeared, causing the black demonic birds' bodies to involuntarily descend towards the ground.

The two third-rank demonic birds glowed with dark light and released gusts of strong wind, managing to hover in mid-air. However, the second-rank demonic birds descended uncontrollably towards the ground, where a large number of sharp yellow spears suddenly emerged, impaling their bodies.

In the distance, a flash of white light suddenly appeared, revealing Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

Wang Changsheng held a triangular yellow formation disk in his hand, channeling spells into it.

Wang Ruyan brought out her Profound Moon Pipa and began to play.

Soon, the melodious sound of the pipa resounded.

The third-rank demonic birds vigorously flapped their wings, unwilling to fall to the ground.

With 'whooshing' sounds, a large number of yellow ropes burst from the ground, swiftly striking towards the two third-rank demonic birds.

The dark light around the two third-rank demonic birds intensified, significantly reducing the pressure on them, allowing them to fly high into the sky and avoid the yellow ropes.

Wang Changsheng was not annoyed and continued to channel spells into the formation disk.

The gravitational force suddenly increased greatly, causing the two third-rank demonic birds to involuntarily drop dozens of feet.

This set of low-grade third-rank formation was a trapping formation with limited offensive power. Wang Changsheng had no trouble using it to ensnare them.

As time passed, the pipa music became increasingly rapid, causing listeners to feel their blood surge and qi to flow backward.

Wang Changsheng's own qi and blood churned violently, as if threatening to burst from his body.

Even he, being two minor cultivation stages higher than Wang Ruyan, was affected, let alone the two low-grade third-rank demonic birds.

The bodies of the second-rank demonic birds swelled rapidly, turning into a bloody rain that filled the sky.

After about fifteen minutes, amidst a rapid burst of pipa music, the bodies of the two third-rank demonic birds rapidly expanded. Countless drops of blood flew out from within them, and their corpses quickly plummeted to the ground.

Wang Changsheng let out a long breath of relief, his flushed face slowly returning to normal.

Sound cultivators are indeed powerful, but their casting time is too long. In a normal fight, an enemy wouldn't give Wang Ruyan enough time to finish playing. Fifteen minutes would be enough for an enemy to kill her eight hundred times over. If Wang Ruyan were to cultivate a higher-grade music cultivation technique, it's uncertain whether the casting time could be shortened.

“Husband, are you alright?”

Wang Ruyan put away her Profound Moon Pipa and asked with concern.

“I’m fine, but your casting time is too long, my dear. A normal fight won't give you that much time.”

Wang Ruyan gave a wry smile and said, “I wish I could shorten it, but there's no way. A piece of music can't unleash its full power unless it's played to completion. When my cultivation improves, the situation should get better.”

Wang Changsheng nodded, then put away the formation disk and banners.

After dealing with the demonic birds' corpses, they transformed into two streaks of light and flew into the distance.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had spent nearly ten years in the Five-Dragon Sea region. To be honest, the South Sea's demonic beast resources were indeed abundant, but it was too time-consuming. For the first five years, they lacked experience and relied on buying information from shops, making it difficult to encounter third-rank demonic beasts; they only managed to hunt two. Later, as they gradually figured out the tricks, they started hunting more third-rank demonic beasts.

They had been busy in the nearby sea for over half a year before finally hunting two third-rank demonic birds.

While hunting demonic beasts, they had witnessed many instances of murder for treasure, but they had not yet been ambushed themselves.

As they hunted demonic beasts, they also inquired about news regarding the Zhenhai Sect.

According to an organization specializing in selling information, the Zhenhai Sect had a legacy of nearly ten thousand years, boasting numerous experts. It seemed two deputy sect masters coveted the sect master position, leading to internal strife. The Sun and Moon Palace then seized the opportunity to invade and destroy the Zhenhai Sect.

Interestingly, less than a century after the Sun and Moon Palace destroyed the Zhenhai Sect, internal conflict arose within the Sun and Moon Palace itself. The vice-palace master of the Moon Palace was executed on the spot – a clear case of evildoers receiving their just deserts!

Unfortunately, Wang Changsheng had no news regarding the subsequent cultivation techniques for the 'Kuisui True Scripture'.

The troubling part was that since the Sun and Moon Palace destroyed the Zhenhai Sect, they might possess the complete 'Kuisui True Scripture'. It would be very difficult for Wang Changsheng to obtain the later parts of the cultivation technique.

He was at the third stage of Core Formation, and his current cultivation technique could take him to the ninth stage of Core Formation, so there was no need to rush. Perhaps an opportunity would arise for him to obtain the subsequent parts.

Calculating the time, it was clear they needed to return to the Coral Sea region to lease an island from the Cold Flame Sect.

Wang Changsheng suddenly sensed something and stopped abruptly. Wang Ruyan also stopped.

Four streaks of light appeared on the horizon ahead, moving at an extremely fast speed.

Wang Changsheng’s spiritual sense detected that the four streaks of light belonged to four Core Formation cultivators, with the highest being at the fifth stage and the lowest at the fourth stage.

One yellow streak and one red streak were moving extremely fast, seemingly fleeing from something.

“Fellow Daoists ahead, we are disciples of the Zhang family from Azure Carp Island. These two have wantonly slaughtered innocents and committed heinous crimes. We ask for your help in stopping them, and our Zhang family will surely show its gratitude.”

A clear, bell-like female voice suddenly rang out.

“The Zhang family of Azure Carp Island?”

To be honest, Wang Changsheng didn't intend to meddle, but the Zhang family of Azure Carp Island was renowned. The name Zhang Wuchen was practically known to everyone in the South Sea cultivation world. Forming a good connection wouldn't be a bad idea.

Wang Changsheng conjured his Ruyi Profound Jade Staff, which instantly enlarged and smashed towards the yellow streak of light. Wang Ruyan brought out her Profound Moon Pipa, and a rapid burst of pipa music sounded. Dozens of giant wind blades flew out, fiercely slashing towards the red streak of light.

Faced with Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's attacks, the two streaks of light hastily changed direction.

Seizing this opportunity, the two streaks of light behind them suddenly accelerated.

Two young female cultivators appeared: one in a green tunic skirt, the other in a long red dress. They were precisely the Twin Beauties of Azure Carp, Zhang Zhiqin and Zhang Zhiwu.
