Chapter 745: Wang Family Cultivators vs. Hailan Sect Cultivators

Giant fireballs, golden orbs of light, and white ice cones rained down, a terrifying spectacle.

Ye Haitang remained calm, changing her hand seals.

A rumbling sound erupted! A yellow earth wall, over ten zhang high and about a zhang thick, rose from the ground, blocking their path.

A series of muffled thuds and crackles followed as the demonic beasts' spells struck the yellow earth wall, creating numerous craters. The wall became severely pockmarked, but soon, a dazzling yellow light emanated from its surface, restoring it to normal as the craters vanished.

Five yellow giants brandished their weapons, fiercely attacking the demonic beasts. A strong wind arose, scattering countless yellow sand particles that transformed into various forms: yellow boulders, yellow spears, and yellow flying daggers, all menacingly striking the demonic beasts.

Over a hundred demonic beasts charged onto the island, mostly first-tier, with fewer than ten second-tier ones.

A deafening roar erupted from behind Ye Haitang as dozens of golden crabs attacked from that direction. These golden crabs had yellow spiritual patterns on their bodies and massive claws.

Ye Haitang remained unperturbed, changing her hand seals. Two yellow giants instantly transformed into a large expanse of yellow quicksand.

The next moment, two massive hands suddenly shot out from under the golden crabs' feet, and two yellow giants emerged from underground, blocking the crabs' path.

"First, eliminate the enemies in front, then those behind. Finish them quickly."

The Wang family cultivators either controlled puppet beasts, cast powerful spells, or unleashed potent talismans. The first-tier demonic beasts were no match, and amidst a series of thunderous roars, one by one, they fell into pools of blood.

At that moment, Wang Qiuxin arrived with reinforcements. They all unleashed second-tier puppet beasts to attack the demonic beasts that had landed on the island.

Wang Qiuxin wielded a golden great hammer, which rapidly expanded before smashing down hard on a golden crab. With a loud crash, the golden crab was pulverized into a bloody pulp, utterly annihilated.

With the addition of Wang Qiuxin and his group, Ye Haitang's pressure significantly decreased. She continuously changed her hand seals, using the array formation to ensnare the demonic beasts attacking Golden Sheep Island. The Wang family cultivators concentrated their firepower, annihilating them piecemeal. When the demonic beasts realized their predicament and attempted to flee, Ye Yutong cast out a handful of green seeds onto the beach. The seeds quickly took root and sprouted, and green thorns burst from the earth, coiling around the fleeing beasts.

The yellow giants, armed with their yellow spiked maces, ruthlessly smashed the demonic beasts entangled by the green thorns.

Faced with the concentrated firepower, the demonic beasts were no match. Not a single one escaped; all were slaughtered, leaving a thick stench of blood lingering in the air.

Ye Haitang breathed a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that Wang Qiuxin and his group had arrived in time; otherwise, the cultivators on Golden Sheep Island alone would have been unable to completely wipe out these demonic beasts.

"That's fantastic! All these demonic beasts were wiped out! Sister, the array you set up is incredibly powerful!" Ye Yutong exclaimed with admiration, knowing that the island's protective array on Golden Sheep Island had been personally set up by Ye Haitang.

"It's not that the array I set up is particularly powerful, but rather that Golden Sheep Island's terrain is well-suited for earth-attribute arrays. I merely utilized the island's topography to deploy it."

Golden Sheep Island's center featured a large canyon surrounded by mountains on three sides, making it an ideal location for a defensive earth-attribute array. This minor beast tide served as the best proof: had arrays of other attributes been deployed, even if the invading demonic beasts were annihilated, the Wang family cultivators would have suffered casualties.

"Aunt Haitang, it's a good thing you were here. If it were anyone else, we might have had to abandon the island." Wang Qiuxin spoke sincerely. With over a hundred demonic beasts attacking Golden Sheep Island, it would have been impossible to defend without five Foundation Establishment cultivators. Yet, Ye Haitang, relying on the array, defended the island with only two Foundation Establishment cultivators, demonstrating the array's formidable power.

"Strengthen our defenses, try not to venture out, and report everything truthfully to the family head. Let's hope this was just a coincidence."

Minor beast tides are usually led by second-tier demonic beasts, with varying scales. Lucky encounters involve only a dozen or so beasts, while unlucky ones can mean hundreds. Fortunately, the number of demonic beasts that attacked Golden Sheep Island wasn't excessively large. As she changed her hand seals, the yellow giants dissolved into sand, scattering across the beach as if they had never existed. Innumerable yellow mist appeared from thin air, enveloping the entire island.

Wang Qiuxin dispatched people to handle the demonic beast corpses, while he personally teleported back to Silver Serpent Island to report to Wang Qiuhong.

"According to the intelligence we've received, all our affiliated cultivation families have been attacked by demonic beasts. It doesn't seem like a deliberate setup by someone; the scale is too vast. For now, let's strengthen our defenses! I hope this isn't a prelude to a major war." Wang Qiuhong expressed his concern. Having just enjoyed a few years of peace, he certainly didn't wish for another war to erupt. The Wang family currently needed to recuperate and accumulate strength.

On a deserted island, dozens of cultivators were engaged in a fierce battle. One group of cultivators commanded puppet beasts, arranged in teams of five, attacking their enemies with skilled coordination. Based on their attire, they clearly belonged to two different cultivation families. The leaders of the two sides were a tall man in a green robe and a burly man in red clothes, who appeared to be in his early thirties.

Wang Qingjun was quite frustrated. He had originally been leading his clansmen to hunt demonic beasts but encountered cultivators from the Hailan Sect. For some unknown reason, the Hailan Sect disciples immediately launched a vicious attack upon seeing the Wang family cultivators.

The burly man in red had eyes full of hatred. His wife was a member of the Zhou family from Yuquan Island. Several years ago, his wife and daughter were tragically killed while visiting the Zhou family. Several forces had besieged the Zhou family, and the Wang family was one of them.

The Hailan Sect had nine Foundation Establishment cultivators, while the Wang family had five Foundation Establishment cultivators and fifteen Qi Condensation cultivators.

Twenty Wang family cultivators, controlling thirty second-tier puppet beasts, attacked the nine Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Hailan Sect, who surprisingly found themselves unable to retaliate.

A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the burly man in red. He flipped his hand and produced a light red talisman that emanated astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations. Before he could unleash it, a piercing sound sliced through the air, and a golden light shot toward him.

The burly man in red inwardly cursed, quickly summoning a red shield to block in front of him. In a flash, the golden light effortlessly pierced through the red shield and then through the burly man's head.

The nine Hailan Sect disciples only saw a flash of golden light before losing consciousness and collapsing onto the beach, each with a pinprick-sized bloodstain on their forehead.

Wang Qingjun gestured into the air, and a golden light vanished into his sleeve.

"Quickly deal with the battlefield and return to the clan," Wang Qingjun ordered, stepping toward the corpse of the burly man in red.

Wang Qingjun was a pillar of the Wang family. Besides Wang Qingling, he was the strongest Foundation Establishment cultivator in the clan. During the great war several years ago, he plundered a significant amount of cultivation resources and achieved considerable merit, for which Wang Changsheng rewarded him with a prototype magic treasure-level flying needle.

It was his first time using it. A prototype magic treasure cost at least 200,000 spirit stones and could easily incite greed in high-level cultivators. Had the burly man in red not produced a third-tier offensive talisman, Wang Qingjun would not have resorted to using the prototype magic treasure.
