Annihilating the Enemy
Mu Lang raised his right hand, and a beam of azure light flew out, disappearing in a blur.
Shen Long inwardly cried out in alarm. The Iron Tail Scorpion emitted a bright yellow light and burrowed into the ground. The Fire Qilin Beast transformed into a streak of crimson flame and vanished. Hundreds of thousands of Spirit Ant dispersed.
A flash of azure light appeared, and a gigantic Cyan Seal appeared above Shen Long's head. The Cyan Seal possessed astonishing Spiritual Qi; it was a Spirit Treasure.
The Cyan Seal crashed down, and a powerful force of gravity enveloped him.
Shen Long swung his Li Fire Staff and smashed it towards the Cyan Seal.
With a muffled clang of metal clashing, the Cyan Seal flew backward.
Mu Lang flicked his sleeve, and a Black Bead shot out— the Soul-Extinguishing Bead.
The Soul-Extinguishing Bead flew more than ten feet away and quickly fell towards the ground. Even Mu Lang's body was uncontrollably falling towards the ground.
At such close range, Mu Lang dared not detonate the Soul-Extinguishing Bead.
He opened his mouth and spat out five Banner Flag of different colors, each Banner Flag with a toad, centipede, spider, python, and gecko, respectively, shimmering with spiritual light.
The complete set Spirit Treasure Five-Poison Banner, each Banner Flag imbued with the Essence Soul of a mid-stage fourth-tier demonic insect.
Mu Lang made a hand seal, and the Five-Poison Banner emitted a dazzling spiritual light, surging out poisonous mists of various colors, which rolled and surged, transforming into a huge five-colored Poison Flood Dragon that pounced on Shen Long.
At the same time, he made a hand seal, and the Green Flame surged and transformed into a green Fire Flood Dragon about ten feet long, which pounced on Shen Long.
Shen Long opened his mouth, and a ball of Cyan Flame flew out, transforming into a gigantic Cyan Fire Phoenix.
The Cyan Fire Phoenix flapped its wings, heading towards the green Fire Flood Dragon.
The Cyan Seal slammed towards Shen Long again. That wasn't all; Mu Lang unleashed a long halberd shimmering with cyan light and slashed at Shen Long.
Shen Long unleashed the Purple Spider Blade and the Dry Sun Seal, and charged forward.
The Cyan Seal collided with the Dry Sun Seal, unleashing powerful shockwaves; the Purple Spider Blade clashed with the cyan halberd, producing the sound of metal striking metal.
Mu Lang frowned; the other party possessed quite a few Spirit Treasure.
"Senior Brother Mu, save me!"
Wu Jiao's terrified voice rang out.
Mu Lang turned his head and saw a Nascent Soul who looked exactly like Wu Jiao flying towards him.
Mu Lang was somewhat surprised. Chu Buyu that strong? Even Wu Jiao and the other two were no match for him?
With a flash of blue light, a Blue Jade Bottle appeared without warning above the Nascent Soul, spewing out a blue glow that enveloped the Nascent Soul and drew it into the Blue Jade Bottle.
Mu Lang's face turned grim, which increased his pressure even further.
The Blue Jade Bottle flew back into Chu Buyu's hand. A red light shone from Chu Buyu's back, and a pair of shimmering Red Jade Ruler appeared. With a gentle wave of her hand, she disappeared from the spot.
Mu Lang was slightly taken aback. The other party had actually left? What happened?
A somewhat noisy hissing sound rang out, and Mu Lang's facial features contorted, feeling as if his soul was about to be torn apart.
A thick Silver Thunder Pillar ripped through the sky and struck Mu Lang's Body-Protecting Spirit Light precisely.
A massive bolt of silver lightning illuminated the sky, engulfing Mu Lang's figure.
With a piercing whistling sound, a Heaven-Supporting Giant Staff descended from the sky and disappeared into the lightning. Mu Lang's body fell from mid-air, his head shattered.
Before the corpse even hit the ground, the Nascent Soul detached from the body and flew out, its expression one of terror.
The Nascent Soul flew away into the distance, but before it had gone far, a crimson light appeared, and Shen Long appeared, his Wind-Fire Wings on his back gently flapping.
The Nascent Soul's face contorted in a ferocious expression as it rapidly expanded, seemingly about to self-destruct.
A sharp, piercing screech rang out, and the Nascent Soul returned to normal.
Shen Long grabbed the Nascent Soul and began searching its soul.
"So it was you who opened the entrance!"
Shen Long suddenly realized what was going on, took out a golden Talisman and affixed it to the Nascent Soul, then put the Nascent Soul into a Golden Jade Box.
A crimson light flashed in the void, Chu Buyu appeared, his Red Feathered Wings on his back fluttering gently.
Shen Long asked her to leave for a moment, and she then left.
"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Shen, otherwise my sister would have perished."
Chu Buyu expressed his gratitude.
It was just a small favor.
Shen Long said with a smile.
Chu Buyu lived up to her reputation as a descendant of the Sun and Moon Palace, holding her own against two opponents. She possessed numerous Spirit Treasure, including Fourth-Order Spirit Flame.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, what are you doing here?"
Chu Buyu looked completely bewildered.
"I came in with the Witch Clan cultivators, but I didn't encounter them. I didn't expect this to be the Daoist Field of True Monarch Purple Sun."
Shen Long asked curiously.
Of course, he couldn't tell the truth. It concerned the Seven Treasures Glazed Fruit Tree, Shen Long couldn't tell the truth to anyone else.
If he came in with the Witch Clan cultivators, then Shen Long's change of appearance would make much more sense.
"I didn't expect that either. Oh, by the way, these two Life-Prolonging Fruit are for you. Thank you for your help."
Chu Buyu took out an exquisite cyan Jade Box and handed it to Shen Long.
Like the Longevity Fruit Life-Prolonging Fruit can prolong life, but any cultivator can only eat one in their lifetime, and it cannot be used to extend their lifespan.
"Fairy Chu, why would you take such a great risk to seize the Life-Prolonging Fruit?"
Shen Long asked, puzzled.
Chu Buyu dared to steal from Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator; his audacity was extraordinary. If the Spirit-Tracking Beast hadn't sensed Chu Buyu's presence again, Shen Long wouldn't have realized that Chu Buyu was in trouble.
If it weren't for Shen Long's intervention, Chu Buyu have been in grave danger.
"My master needs the Life-Prolonging Fruit; without my master, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Chu Buyu explained.
Her master's lifespan was running out, otherwise she wouldn't have stolen the belongings of Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator.
Shen Long suddenly realized what was going on and took the two Jade Box. It seemed that Chu Buyu had a very good relationship with her master, otherwise she wouldn't have done this.
"These are two Longevity Fruit, they're for you."
Shen Long took out two blue Jade Box and handed them to Chu Buyu.
"The Longevity Fruit?"
Chu Buyu was overjoyed and accepted the Jade Box, saying gratefully, "Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Shen."
Shen Long and Chu Buyu searched the enemy's belongings, and the corpses all belonged to Shen Long, who intended to use them to feed the Iron Tail Scorpion and the Ice Flood Dragon.
"Since this is the Daoist Field of True Monarch Purple Sun, it must contain True Monarch Purple Sun legacy. Let's join forces to find it..."
Before Chu Buyu could finish speaking, Shen Long interrupted him, "Not good! A powerful aura is heading this way, it looks like a fifth-tier Demon Beast, run!"
Chu Buyu reacted quickly, summoning a yellow Jade Ruler. With a gentle shake, a thick Yellow Light Screen appeared, enveloping the two of them, before disappearing underground and leaving the area.
······
Deep within the Soul-Shattering Mountain Range, numerous buildings and the figures of the Soul-Shattering Palace disciples can be seen.
Nine loud toad croaks rang out, echoing throughout most of the Soul-Shattering Mountain Range.
The disciples of the Soul-Shattering Palace were shocked. It seemed that something serious had happened, otherwise the Soul-Shattering Palace would not have rung the Golden Toad Bell nine times.
A large number of high-level cultivators left their cave dwellings and headed to the Discussion Hall for a meeting to discuss countermeasures.
A quarter of an hour later, two Nascent Soul Cultivator left with a group of disciples.
The Life Soul Lamp of the three Nascent Soul Cultivator have gone out. They went treasure hunting with Mu Lang and Wu Jiao, and it seems something happened. The Soul-Shattering Palace is sending people to search for them.
