Chapter 769: Body Training

Liu Xin, Jin Lang's senior disciple, cultivated the *Golden Sun Spirit Forging Art* and specialized in both spiritual and physical cultivation. Song Yan was Liu Xin's cultivation partner.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan exchanged glances. Without a word, they began casting spells to deal with the Sun Moon Palace cultivators.

Wang Changsheng formed a hand seal, and subsidiary blue light points appeared in the void, rapidly transforming into a vast expanse of seawater. Simultaneously, Wang Ruyan's slender fingers swiftly swept across her pipa strings. Over a dozen blue giant blades, each about ten feet long, shot out, flying directly towards Liu Xin and Song Yan. Along their path, a harsh tearing sound echoed through the air.

Liu Xin's expression remained calm. At some point, he had put on a pair of golden gauntlets, adorned with carved monkey patterns. He punched his right fist towards the void.

A golden light flew out from the gauntlet, transforming into a golden fist-shadow several feet large, which met the incoming attack.

Boom! The golden fist-shadow shattered the dozen-plus blue giant blades. A powerful wave of air spread out, kicking up a large amount of flying sand and rocks.

A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Changsheng's eyes as his gaze settled on Liu Xin, his expression becoming somewhat serious.

"Let's finish this quickly; don't waste time," Liu Xin said in a deep voice. He transformed into an afterimage and charged directly towards Wang Changsheng.

"Wife, be careful. This guy is likely a body cultivator. Don't let him get close," Wang Changsheng warned via telepathy, his expression grave.

Come to think of it, since he reached the Core Formation stage, he had rarely encountered body cultivators at the same level. The last time was a cultivator from the Sun Moon Palace, who also cultivated the *Kwai Water True Scripture*.

Countless blue lights appeared out of thin air, forming a stream several feet long that protected Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

Thunder roared loudly. Countless blue electric arcs appeared on Wang Changsheng's body, transforming into dozens of blue lightning spears that struck towards Liu Xin.

Liu Xin's figure flickered, turning into an afterimage, and he dodged the attack of the blue lightning spears.

Boom! Dozens of blue lightning spears struck the ground, leaving behind numerous large craters from which heat rose.

The sound of the zither boomed again as dozens of blue giant blades shot out, striking towards Liu Xin and blocking his retreat.

Golden light burst forth from Liu Xin's body, and his fists trembled. With a dull "clanging" sound of metal colliding, dozens of blue giant blades vanished without a trace.

Wang Changsheng dared not be careless. He quickly unleashed a golden orb, which flew above his head and emitted a golden glow that enveloped him and Wang Ruyan.

With a golden flash, Liu Xin appeared before Wang Changsheng. The golden gauntlets on his hands glowed brightly as he fiercely smashed them towards the golden light.

A deafening roar erupted as the golden light was shattered by Liu Xin's strike.

Wang Changsheng inwardly cried out, "Not good!" His figure flickered, appearing beside Wang Ruyan. He opened his mouth and spat out a Mountain and Sea Bead. The bead spun rapidly, emitting a blue light that transformed into a thick blue water curtain, enveloping them.

Liu Xin swung his fists repeatedly, striking the blue water curtain. The blue water curtain dented but quickly returned to normal.

A blue sound wave flew out, striking towards Liu Xin.

Golden light burst forth from Liu Xin's body, making him shimmer as if coated in golden paint.

The blue sound wave swiftly passed through Liu Xin's body, leaving him completely unharmed.

Song Yan was not idle either. She unleashed a palm-sized blue seal, which quickly expanded to the size of a small mountain. With a huge whistling sound, it smashed down towards Wang Changsheng and his wife.

If hit by the blue seal, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan would likely not survive or at least be severely injured.

Wang Changsheng opened his mouth again and spat out two more Mountain and Sea Beads. Countless blue light points appeared, forming a turbulent river. The river churned, transforming into a blue giant hand several feet large that held back the blue seal.

The weeds on the ground grew wildly, quickly wrapping around Liu Xin's body.

Golden spirit patterns appeared on Liu Xin's body. His physique swelled by more than a circle, veins bulging, and muscles bulging. A muffled "cracking" sound came from within his body.

All the weeds wrapped around Liu Xin were torn apart by him, with nothing remaining. However, at that moment, countless adult-arm-thick green thorns emerged from underground. They quickly entwined his body. The dense green thorns bound him, rendering him immobile.

A green light flashed, and a tall, green-armored figure appeared behind Liu Xin. It was precisely the Qingyuan Talisman Soldier.

The green-armored figure's right hand transformed into a long blade, and its left hand into a giant hammer. They smashed towards Liu Xin's head.

Clang, clang! The long blade and giant hammer were blocked by Liu Xin's protective spiritual light. Just then, ripples appeared in the void above Liu Xin's head. A massive palm, covered in numerous blue electric arcs, materialized out of thin air. It descended towards Liu Xin, carrying a fierce gust of wind.

Liu Xin opened his mouth, and a golden light shot out, slashing towards the blue giant palm.

Boom! A tremendous roar sounded. The blue giant palm was shattered by the golden light, turning into countless blue electric arcs.

The golden light circled once around Liu Xin, and all the green thorns that had entangled him instantly broke.

The golden light was indeed a shimmering golden long blade. Its blade was three feet long, and its body was six feet long. Its surface glittered with spiritual light, radiating astonishing spiritual energy.

Liu Xin's figure flickered as he retreated rapidly. As he retreated, the golden long blade in his hand slashed towards Wang Changsheng.

A loud tearing sound filled the air. A golden giant blade, over ten feet long, shot out, fiercely slashing towards Wang Changsheng.

Before the golden giant blade even landed, a powerful pressure surged forward. The blue water curtain immediately dented.

Liu Xin's natal magical treasure was called the Golden Ape Blade. Not only was the spirit of a high-grade Tier 3 Mount Tai Ape refined into it, but a piece of Primordial Magnetic Crystal was also added to the materials for crafting the Golden Ape Blade.

Primordial Magnetic Crystal is a Tier 4 refining material that can apply gravity. The Golden Ape Blade, crafted with Primordial Magnetic Crystal, possessed gravity-infused attacks, making it far superior to ordinary magical treasures.

The blue water curtain churned, transforming into a blue giant hand several feet large, which slapped towards the golden giant blade.

Boom! The blue giant hand was shattered by the golden giant blade. Dozens of blue giant blades flew over, striking the golden giant blade one after another.

A tremendous roar erupted as the golden giant blade was shattered by the dozens of blue giant blades.

Liu Xin's initial probing attack was met with great surprise. The magical treasure Wang Changsheng unleashed was no ordinary defensive artifact. It was important to know that Liu Xin was wearing Golden Ape Gauntlets, crafted primarily from the hide of a high-grade Tier 3 Mount Tai Ape, which could increase his strength by forty percent. Ordinary defensive magical treasures could not withstand even one of his punches.

The Mountain and Sea Beads, however, were refined from heavy water. Due to the level of their refining skill, the Mountain and Sea Beads were not of high grade, yet Liu Xin could not easily breach their defenses.

"Wife, this fellow is quite strong. Let's eliminate his companion first, then focus our fire on him," Wang Changsheng said with a grave tone, transmitting his words to Wang Ruyan.

Liu Xin's power was formidable, and as a body cultivator, he was not easy to deal with.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had no choice but to adopt a strategy of divide and conquer: first eliminate Song Yan, then concentrate their firepower on Liu Xin.

The three Mountain and Sea Beads spun rapidly. Countless blue lights surged forth, transforming into a vast expanse of seawater that churned violently. Five thick, waist-sized blue water pythons flew out from the seawater, lunging towards Liu Xin and Song Yan.

The nearby large trees began to shake violently. Immediately after, they moved quickly, completely surrounding Liu Xin and Song Yan.
