Chapter 768: Thrilling Sun and Moon Palace Cultivator

Wang Ruyan was on her way to meet Wang Changsheng when she encountered a Core Formation stage demon. She had not expected demons to have entered this place.

The man in black was at the fifth level of Core Formation, two levels higher than Wang Ruyan.

Wang Ruyan's slender fingers swiftly swept across the zither strings. Melodious music filled the air as streaks of blue wind blades shot out, striking towards the man in black.

A tall figure in green armor raised both hands, sending countless fine green threads flying towards the man in black.

With the talismanic soldier at her disposal, Wang Ruyan fought the man in black to a stalemate.

His arms and face were covered in dense black scales. The wind blades and green threads struck the scales, producing dull thuds.

He took out a small blue hammer and lightly shook it. A large expanse of seawater appeared out of nowhere, forming a blue torrent that rushed towards Wang Ruyan.

Clang!

A blue sound wave shot out, shattering the blue torrent into a large spray of seawater that scattered across the ground.

The green-armored figure transformed into a green streak and darted directly towards the young man in black.

The blue hammer in the young man's hand instantly glowed brightly, swelling dozens of times in size before smashing fiercely towards the green-armored figure.

If hit by the giant blue hammer, the green-armored figure would be severely injured, if not dead.

The green-armored figure moved both fists, striking the empty space above his head. Two colossal green fist-shadows, several zhang in size, flew out and slammed into the giant blue hammer.

Rumble!

The giant blue hammer shattered the green fist-shadows, but its speed also slowed. Seizing this opportunity, the green-armored figure flickered and dodged, causing the blue hammer to smash into the ground, leaving a massive crater.

A brilliant green light emanated from the green-armored figure's body, and it vanished.

The next moment, a weed behind the man in black grew wildly tall. After a blur, it transformed into the green-armored figure.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and his right hand instantly glowed with brilliant green light, transforming into a green longblade about a zhang in length.

Just then, a large patch of black spikes grew from the man in black's back, sharply piercing towards the green-armored figure.

Caught off guard, the green-armored figure had no time to dodge. The green longblade in his hand swung down fiercely towards the man in black's head.

The green longblade struck the man in black's head as if hitting a piece of refined iron.

Simultaneously, the dense black spikes pierced through the green-armored figure's body.

A brilliant green light emanated from the green-armored figure's body, and it vanished.

The next moment, a weed in front of Wang Ruyan grew wildly tall, transforming into the green-armored figure. All the wounds on its body had vanished.

The Azure Essence Talisman Soldier possessed strong self-healing abilities; as long as it didn't suffer a devastating blow, it could repair itself.

The man in black frowned, about to employ other methods to deal with Wang Ruyan. Just then, the weeds beneath his feet suddenly grew wildly, swiftly binding his body.

Seizing this excellent opportunity, Wang Ruyan pulled one of the zither strings and then released it.

The zither boomed, and a blue sound wave shot out, rapidly striking towards the man in black.

The man in black opened his mouth and spat out a black light, shattering the blue sound wave.

A brilliant blue light emanated from his body, his face blurred and transformed into a ferocious eel head, and his body became fish-like. A row of black spikes ran along his back.

The spikes on the black fish demon's body cut through the weeds. However, just then, the empty space above its head twisted, and a giant blue hand, filled with numerous blue electric arcs, appeared out of thin air and slammed down fiercely.

A tragic scream echoed as countless blue electric arcs enveloped the black fish demon's body.

Numerous green thorns, as thick as an adult's arm, broke through the ground and swiftly plunged into the blue lightning.

Not long after, the blue lightning dissipated. The green fish demon was tightly bound by countless thick green thorns. It let out a horrific roar, a sound that was neither beast nor fish.

Whizzing sounds pierced the air as several black arrows shot over, accurately striking the black fish demon. However, they failed to pierce the black scales on its body.

The black arrows transformed into a swarm of dark-golden ants, which crawled onto the black fish demon's body and began to frantically gnaw at it.

The black fish demon let out a series of miserable roars. Its body glowed brightly with blue light, and its size rapidly increased, breaking some of the green thorns.

Its resistance was futile. Countless green thorns sprouted from the ground, binding the black fish demon tightly.

The Gold-Devouring Ants gnawed away the black fish demon's scales, and the sharp thorns on the surface of the green thorns pierced into the black fish demon's flesh. The green thorns slowly turned blood-red, and the black fish demon's body rapidly shriveled.

Before long, it became a dried corpse. The green thorns, now blood-red, slowly released the black fish demon, leaving only a desiccated fish carcass on the ground.

This was a pure-blooded demon, which would revert to its original form after death. Half-demons showed no such change upon death.

Had it not been a pure-blooded demon, it wouldn't have required Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, the Wood Demon, the Gold-Devouring Ants, and the Azure Essence Talisman Soldier to work together to eliminate it.

A blue streak of light flew from afar and landed in front of Wang Ruyan. It was Wang Changsheng.

"Wife, are you alright?" Wang Changsheng asked with concern. After finally reuniting with Wang Ruyan, and with a demon attacking her, Wang Changsheng naturally wouldn't stand by.

"I'm fine, husband. What about these thorns?" Wang Ruyan shook her head, her gaze fixed on the thorns.

Vein-like structures appeared on the surface of the thorns, slowly changing from blood-red to green, and small yellow flowers sprouted from their bodies.

"This is a wood demon I recently subdued. It can control plants in battle. It took me a lot of effort to subdue it," Wang Changsheng said, waving at the wood demon, and it swiftly flew over.

The wood demon's true form was a thorn bush, and its flowers were highly poisonous. It was inherently bloodthirsty, and Wang Changsheng couldn't ascertain its origin, so he could only treat it as a particularly formidable wood demon.

"A wood demon! Oh, right, husband, demons have entered, and there will likely be other cultivators entering as well. Let's hurry to the Scripture Repository! According to the map, it's not far from here."

Wang Changsheng nodded, released his Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada to consume the fish demon's spirit, and then put away the fish demon's corpse.

The two of them transformed into streaks of light and departed. They had already preliminarily confirmed that the Zhenhai Sect ruins had no anti-flight restrictions.

As a precaution, Wang Changsheng released hundreds of Gold-Devouring Ants, letting them fly around to prevent triggering any restrictions.

A little less than an hour later, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's bodies descended uncontrollably towards the ground.

Ahead was a dense black forest, stretching as far as the eye could see, filled with giant black trees dozens of zhang tall.

"According to the map, the Scripture Repository is located just beyond this dense forest," Wang Ruyan said, pointing to the black forest, her beautiful eyes showing deep joy.

Wang Changsheng nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he frowned slightly, looked in a certain direction, and coldly said, "Who's there! Get out!"

If it weren't for Wang Changsheng's greatly enhanced divine sense, he wouldn't have discovered someone hiding nearby.

A golden light flashed, revealing the figures of a man and a woman. Their clothing bore the emblem of the sun and moon, indicating they were cultivators from the Sun Moon Palace.

One was at the seventh level of Core Formation, and the other at the fifth level, their strength far surpassing that of Wang Changsheng and his wife.
