Chapter 833: The Hidden Expert

With Wan Guiyuan's cultivation, the risk of escaping alone is indeed very high.

But fortunately, almost all of the strongest individuals among the younger generation in Youzhou have gathered here.

With her and Long Er intercepting these people.

The danger during the subsequent journey back should be reduced significantly.

Wan Guiyuan is, after all, first on the Spirit Ranking; regardless of how this first place was obtained, it proves his ability is not weak.

Facing the upcoming interception, it is not as if there is no chance of survival; at the very least, it is much safer than continuing to stay here.

Hearing Wen Ya's voice transmission, Wang Jianqiang shook his head, his face full of domineering spirit as he said, "Senior Sister Wen Ya, rest assured. Junior Brother has now achieved Major Accomplishment in my divine art; although these people are strong, they are still unable to threaten me."

After sending a voice transmission to Wen Ya, he sent another sound to Mu Lingxi, "Lingxi, you stay put and do not reveal the slightest flaw; I will handle this."

Having said that, his figure flashed, blocking the path where those three figures were flying from.

Seeing this scene, Wen Ya's expression changed drastically.

"Junior Brother Wan, absolutely do not be impulsive! These people all possess strength comparable to the Spirit Transformation Late Stage; you are no match for..."

Before her words had finished, golden electric arcs suddenly jumped across Wang Jianqiang's body.

A terrifying power of the flesh spread out, and the space around him seemed to become distorted.

"Behold my Thunder God Indestructible Body!"

Amidst a clear, loud shout, Wang Jianqiang transformed into a golden bolt of lightning, colliding directly with the three figures flying from afar at an astonishing speed.

Amidst the flashing golden thunder, his attacks were wide and sweeping, and his physical defense was astonishing.

Although his attack power was slightly inferior to the three Spirit Severing Mid Stage prodigies, by relying on his astonishing speed and formidable physical defense, he managed to forcefully entangle all three of them.

Wen Ya's gaze lingered on Wang Jianqiang for a moment.

That golden figure made a rather distant memory flash through her mind.

That was on the Outer Realm Battlefield, outside Wenxian City.

That Array Path prodigy from the Immortal Abandoned Land named Ye Lingyun also possessed a powerful body-refining method, and by relying on that powerful body-refining method, he repelled Yaoguang and Xiaoyue Daoren at that time.

The body-refining methods of the two were quite similar.

However, the lightning power derived from Wan Guiyuan's body-refining method was something Ye Lingyun did not possess.

And within Ye Lingyun's body-refining method, it contained a unique and powerful Artistic Conception.

The two men's body-refining methods each had their own strengths and weaknesses.

Wan Guiyuan's body-refining method was faster because of the lightning power.

And Ye Lingyun's body-refining method had stronger attack power because of that peculiar Artistic Conception.

Thoughts flashed through Wen Ya's mind.

She then quickly composed her mind.

Taking advantage of the three being blocked by Wan Guiyuan, she unleashed her full power, attacking Luo Xuantong and Cang Lan.

Under Wen Ya's continuous, relentless offensive, the two retreated steadily, coughing up blood incessantly.

At a certain moment.

Wen Ya pressed her two slender jade fingers together and pointed them out.

Endless frost gathered, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a Divine Dragon condensed entirely from profound ice.

The Divine Dragon flew out.

With a sweep of its dragon tail, Luo Xuandao and Cang Lan were both swept away simultaneously.

The ice dragon changed direction, crashing directly into the two as they flew backward.

Just as it was about to strike the two.

"Stop!"

Two voices, with the same words, were heard one after another.

As the sound waves swept out, the awe-inspiring ice dragon vanished into nothingness without a sound.

Seeing this scene.

Wang Jianqiang narrowed his eyes, his figure flashing to appear on the path where the two were flying backward; with two hand-blade strikes, an arm was severed from each of them.

He grabbed with his palm, catching the two arms into his hand.

"You are courting death!"

Just at this moment.

The two voices from before sounded again, still with the same words.

The instant the two voices were heard.

Wang Jianqiang felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow.

His face turned pale, a mouthful of blood sprayed out, and his figure was sent flying backward.

Seeing this, Wen Ya's expression changed.

She flashed behind Wang Jianqiang and raised her hands to catch him.

However, the force on Wang Jianqiang's body was too strong; the moment she caught him, a powerful rebounding force immediately struck her.

She and Wang Jianqiang flew back another hundred zhang together before barely stabilizing their figures.

A flash of paleness crossed Wen Ya's face as she looked at Wang Jianqiang.

Seeing that Wang Jianqiang's skin was covered in shocking cracks and that he was still bleeding from his mouth, her expression turned to one of shock.

"Junior Brother Wan, are you alright!"

Wang Jianqiang spat out a mouthful of blood foam, reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said nonchalantly, "Just minor injuries."

Wen Ya:...

Is your body not about to collapse?

Can this even be considered a minor injury?

But then again, body-refining Cultivators have always been famous for being able to take a beating.

Junior Brother Wan's body-refining cultivation is so strong; while such injuries look shocking to the eye, perhaps for him, they really cannot be counted as a serious wound.

Thinking of this, she let out a sigh of relief and looked with a solemn expression toward the two figures in the distance who had appeared at some unknown time.

The aura of the two was like an abyss; even though they did not spread their aura, the moment her gaze touched them—

Whether it was Wen Ya or Wang Jianqiang, both felt a terrifying pressure as vast as the sea.

Void Refinement Stage Cultivators?

Wang Jianqiang looked at the two, his expression tightening.

However, after seeing Wen Ya's calm expression, his mood relaxed again.

"You two, do you wish to fight my Beast Taming Sect to the death?"

Just at this moment, a cold voice rang out.

Another figure appeared; the newcomer looked middle-aged and was likewise a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator, their gaze fixed tightly on those two peers, a cold energy surging from their body without the slightest sign of weakness.

Seeing the third Void Refinement Stage Cultivator appear, Wang Jianqiang suddenly understood.

As expected, the Beast Taming Sect was indeed prepared.

Upon seeing the Beast Taming Sect expert appear, the eyes of those two Void Refinement Stage Cultivators flashed simultaneously.

One of them looked at Wang Jianqiang with a cold gaze, "Little fellow, you are quite ruthless!"

"Senior is joking; in a life-and-death battle, if one isn't ruthless, are they supposed to just wait for death?" Wang Jianqiang chuckled.

Hearing this, the man gave a cold laugh, "Heh, fair point; the Beast Taming Sect has indeed produced a fine Immortal Seedling."

After speaking, his gaze shifted and landed on the Beast Taming Sect expert, "Daoist Friend Wu, you have misunderstood. My Taicang Mountain has always valued harmony and has no intention of being enemies with the Beast Taming Sect. The reason we acted this time was merely to temper our Disciple; there was no malice."

"As for injuring Wan Guiyuan, it was also due to losing composure in a moment of urgency and failing to control the weight of the strike; I hope your sect will not take offense."

"This battle, my Taicang Mountain withdraws."

Having said this, he looked at Cang Lan, "Cang Lan, let us go."

Hearing this, Cang Lan looked at Wen Ya with a face full of wariness, then looked at Wang Jianqiang.

His gaze paused on the two severed arms in Wang Jianqiang's hands, and a flash of gloom crossed his eyes.

Then, with a face full of unwillingness, he nodded and followed that Taicang Mountain expert as they left.

After the Taicang Mountain expert took Cang Lan away, the Beast Taming Sect expert looked at the remaining Void Refinement Stage Cultivator, "And you, Daoist Friend from the Youyun Holy Land?"
