Chapter 978: United Against the Enemy

Wang Qingling dared to speak with such confidence because she had ample support. Before rushing to provide aid, she had requested four third-tier low-grade puppet beasts from the higher-ups of the Myriad Swords Sect.

It’s only fair to offer some benefits when asking others for help; one cannot expect assistance for free.

With the two third-tier low-grade puppet beasts they carried, they had a total of six third-tier puppet beasts. These six could be used to set up a third-tier formation, which would be sufficient to deal with a seventh-tier Core Formation cultivator. Furthermore, Wang Qingling also possessed two third-tier spirit beasts. As long as the Qian family cultivators joined forces, there would certainly be no problem.

Qian Jiarun’s face showed hesitation. Wang Qingling was only a fifth-tier Core Formation cultivator, and even with a third-tier Flood Dragon, she might not be a match for the demon race.

However, Wang Qingling was there to support them, so Qian Jiarun couldn't simply ignore her.

"Seventh Sister, you control the formation. Eighth Uncle and I will go out to fight. If we are outmatched, Seventh Sister, you must immediately take Leyue and the others and leave."

After giving instructions, Qian Jiarun soared into the air, releasing a giant golden crab with silver eyes.

This was a Gold Coin Crab, the Qian family’s guardian spirit beast, a third-tier high-grade spirit beast.

A yellow-robed old man also flew out, unleashing his magic treasure to attack the Core Formation demon cultivators.

The blue-skirted young woman directed the clan members on the city wall to attack the demon beasts.

Seeing three Core Formation cultivators rushing towards them, Wang Qingling did not dare to delay. She quickly brought out two third-tier puppet beasts. Wang Qiuming and Wang Mengbin also each released two third-tier puppet beasts to attack the black-skirted young woman and her two companions.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators, wielding their artifacts, landed on the ground. They formed teams of ten, with Wang family cultivators serving as leaders, directing them to eliminate the lower-tier demon beasts.

For a time, various magical lights scattered, and the sounds of explosions, crashes, and intense fighting mixed together. The clang of artifacts striking demon beasts resonated through the sky, one after another.

The black-skirted young woman held a shimmering black trident. With a gentle shake, countless streams of water appeared out of nowhere, transforming into dense blue water arrows that covered the sky and launched towards Wang Qingling and her two companions.

The burly middle-aged man wielded two large black axes. With a chop into the void, two enormous black energy blades shot forth.

A blue-robed young man took out a blue conch shell with shifting runes on its surface. He blew into it, and a deep horn sound rang out, sending wave after wave of black sound waves rapidly sweeping towards Wang Qingling and her two companions.

Wang Qiuming produced a golden mirror with shifting light. He cast a spell, and the mirror's surface instantly brightened. A large golden beam shot out, turning into a golden torrent that surged forward to meet the attacks.

The golden torrent shattered the dense blue water arrows, turning them into a large mist. The black sound waves were no exception, also being pulverized by the golden torrent. A visible ripple of air spread out from the point of collision, covering a large area of the void.

Two crab puppet beasts, two giant shrimp puppet beasts, and two giant eagle puppet beasts surrounded the black-skirted young woman and her two companions.

The crab puppet beasts shot out a large stream of golden light from their eyes, striking the black-skirted young woman. The giant scorpion puppet beasts waved their pincers, releasing a large number of blue water arrows. The giant eagle puppet beasts swooped down from high altitude, heading directly for the black-skirted young woman.

The black-skirted young woman lightly waved the black trident in her hand, and a black light flew out, forming a thick black water curtain. The black water curtain, over ten feet high, blocked in front of her, completely deflecting the puppet beasts' attacks.

Five huge red vultures swooped down from high in the sky, heading straight for Wang Qingling and her two companions. Before they even got close, they unleashed a barrage of watermelon-sized red fireballs, hurling them towards Wang Qingling and her companions.

The Ice Wind Dragon shook its head and tail, meeting the five red vultures. Hundreds of red fireballs struck its massive body, causing little damage but inciting its ferocity.

The Ice Wind Dragon’s long tail swept out, accurately striking one red vulture, which was immediately sent flying backward.

For a while, the five red vultures were unable to bypass the Ice Wind Dragon to attack Wang Qingling and her companions. Their attacks on the Ice Wind Dragon were like mere tickles, while the Ice Wind Dragon’s strikes were far from it.

The burly middle-aged barbarian warrior wielded two large black axes and charged towards Wang Qingling. Following the strategy of "capturing the leader to capture the whole group," he believed that if Wang Qingling was killed, the reinforcements would collapse without a fight.

Wang Qingling flipped her hand, and three shimmering golden flying darts appeared. She launched them towards the middle-aged man.

The golden darts were incredibly fast, appearing in front of the middle-aged man in an instant.

The middle-aged man did not dare to be careless. While casting a protective spiritual shield on himself, he swung his two large black axes to cleave the golden darts.

With a few "puffs," the three golden darts were shattered by the black axes. A large amount of golden liquid, emitting a strange fragrance, splashed onto the middle-aged man’s protective spiritual shield.

The five red vultures, previously fighting the Ice Wind Dragon, suddenly acted as if they had been injected with a stimulant, charging wildly towards the middle-aged man.

Other third-tier demon beasts also lost control, frenziedly attacking the middle-aged man.

"Damn it, what's going on?" the middle-aged man cursed, frowning.

Over a dozen third-tier demon beasts suddenly lost control and pounced on the middle-aged man.

"It's the Beast Island's unique secret medicine, the Demon Lure Powder," the black-skirted young woman said with a frown, her expression turning ugly.

Demon Lure Powder has an irresistible allure for demon beasts below the fourth-tier. Being only a Core Formation cultivator, she simply couldn't control these rampaging third-tier demon beasts.

Various magical lights engulfed the middle-aged man, who let out a scream.

At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened. A dark cloud, several miles wide, abruptly appeared high in the sky. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. After a rumbling thunderclap, hundreds of thick silver lightning bolts shot out, striking the black-skirted young woman and her companions.

The black-skirted young woman inwardly cried out in alarm. She quickly transformed into a blue light and flew towards the seabed, knowing that once she was in the ocean, no one could catch her.

Just then, the void suddenly lit up with specks of blue light, forming a hazy blue giant hand that instantly grabbed the black-skirted young woman's body. No matter how much she struggled, she could not break free from the blue giant hand’s grip.

This was the spirit art, Demon Seizing Hand.

Wang Changsheng had obtained over a dozen spirit arts from Nangong Miao, which the Core Formation cultivators of the Wang family could cultivate. Wang Qingling had practiced the Demon Seizing Hand.

Dozens of silver lightning bolts struck the black-skirted young woman's body. A large area of silver lightning engulfed her, and a shriek was heard.

A black light, without warning, flew out from within the silver lightning and instantly appeared before Wang Qingling.

Wang Qingling was prepared. A golden light illuminated her body, the defensive spirit art Glazed Golden Body.

The black light struck the golden light, emitting a muffled thud.

Boom!

A huge thunderous sound erupted. Dozens of purple lightning spears shot out from the dark cloud, instantly plunging into the silver lightning surrounding the black-skirted young woman.

The lightning's speed dramatically increased, and a purple light shone within the silver glow, accompanied by a piercing scream.

Wang Qiuming opened his mouth, and a golden light shot out, entering the lightning, followed by a muffled thud.
