Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

"Pfft!"

Wan Niang's words had barely fallen when a cold snort came from within the black clouds.

The attacker wasted no words; only that ten-plus-zhang thunderous big hand, before everyone's eyes, actually formed hand seals with agility, and with one hand at that.

Palm facing the black clouds, thumb curled to press against the palm, index and middle fingers extended and joined, ring and little fingers slightly spread.

Then lightning gathered at the fingertips, growing brighter and brighter, actually pressing the black clouds overhead down by half a cun.

For a time, rainwater pouring from the black clouds was like opening a sluice to release a flood, as if it would drown everything here.

In everyone's sight, the rainwater, at first like beaded curtains strung into lines, was now a vast white expanse, as if only this one color remained between heaven and earth.

Silver electric snakes poked their heads out from the black clouds, then all at once aimed at the Wan Family merchant ships below; with a thunderclap of "crackling," as if receiving a signal, they immediately dove downward.

Seeing this scene, who knows how many people revealed horrified expressions.

"I'm struck by heavenly thunder!"

"Thunder arts are terrifying indeed!"

"How shall the Wan Family respond?"

The attacker's strength exceeded imagination.

Moreover, it is well known that among all arts, thunder arts are number one.

Not only is the power great, the key damage is also extremely terrifying.

Many cultivators would rather face a Metal Spirit Root than encounter a Thunder Spirit Root.

Wan Niang lightly tapped the void with her tiptoe, her voice transmitted through magic power to all three ships: "Wanbao, Wanhui, Wan Gui, each send out one Golden Core cultivator to meet the enemy with the Five Elements Method; do not disgrace the Wan Family name!"

Before her voice faded, three figures leapt onto the decks of the three ships simultaneously, all Golden Core cultivators with solid auras; as soon as they appeared, they drew the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to gather rapidly toward them.

Golden Dome Sword Rain!

On the Wanbao Ship, one person activated magic power, and dozens of zhang-long gold-plated magic swords appeared before him, the sword bodies shimmering with a layer of sharp power reinforced by the Golden Law.

With a flick of his thought, the magic swords turned into streaks of golden light, instantly slicing through the vast white rain curtain and colliding with the diving electric snakes.

Clang!

Clang!

The ringing of metal on metal never ceased.

The thunder snakes were split apart by the magic swords, turning into fine lightning that dissipated across the sky, while those magic swords also suffered severe damage.

For now, it seems evenly matched.

The Wanbao Ship, within the Wan Family, was originally renowned for "Magic Treasures and Gold Commerce Techniques."

Moreover, every Golden Stage cultivator, or True Person, receives a large supply of resources to meet daily cultivation needs.

In terms of strength and equipment, they are in no way inferior to the various top powers.

The thunder snakes had not ceased when the Water Spirit Root cultivator on the Wanhui Ship acted simultaneously, casually tossing out a circular array, taking himself as the array eye, mobilizing the surrounding dense water vapor to gather into a ten-zhang-high water wall.

This art is called Shuilang Bi, rippling with layers of waves, wrapping the remaining thunder snakes within.

By rights, thunder arts are powerful, and thunder snakes should be even more domineering.

But once merged into the water wall, they merely struggled a few times before being dissolved by the "softening" power of the Water Law, leaving only a few faint currents that gradually vanished amidst the crackling sounds.

The Wanhui Ship specializes in "Trade and Defense," and water arrays are best at dissipating force; even thunder arts of the Golden Core Late Stage can be completely blocked.

Unless one person can crush an entire ship by themselves, they are simply no match.

And this is precisely the confidence that allows the Wan Family to stand firm in the "No-Management Area."

Finally, the Golden Core cultivator on the Wan Gui Ship acted.

He was an Earth Spirit Root, and his arts and spells leaned toward Yin.

Without circulating his cultivation method or activating spells,

he instead took out several black spirit talismans from his storage bag and tossed them around.

The black spirit talismans did not dissolve upon meeting water; instead, they rushed to the ground at extreme speed, with black lights flashing on them, actually drawing the surrounding earth qi, turning into clusters of counterclockwise-rotating vortices, releasing the Yin Cold Qi from underground.

They carried a heavy and pungent earthy stench, turning into thick black chains that, upon emerging, reached toward the thunderous big hand in the sky, as if to bind it.

"Some skill."

The voice in the black clouds gained a hint of playfulness, yet showed not a trace of panic; only to hear the voice sound again: "Left Guide Azure Dragon Thunder, Right Summon White Tiger Thunder!"

Originally one thunderous big hand, stubbornly under the scouring of rainwater, suddenly rippled, then before everyone's eyes, actually split into two.

The left hand was azure.

The right hand was white.

The left palm pressed downward, thumb and index finger curved into the shape of dragon horns, the remaining three fingers extended like dragon claws probing the earth, pressing into the water curtain.

Beneath the palm arose a pale azure light; light blue shadows flowed, gradually revealing a layer of fine azure dragon scales, faintly as if an azure dragon swam in the water, emanating an extremely terrifying pressure.

The right palm faced heaven, thumb, index, and middle fingers pinched into a tiger claw shape, ring and little fingers extended like a tiger tail sweeping the void.

Just as the fingertips faced the western clouds, a streak of red thunder light "boomed" down, winding around the right hand's three fingers; the whole hand faintly seemed as if a White Tiger had descended, the surrounding temperature suddenly rose, and rainwater falling on the palm was instantly vaporized into white mist.

The moment the Azure Dragon Thunder Hand pressed against the water curtain, there was no earth-shaking roar, yet it carried a terrifying silence that nourished all things without a sound.

That pale azure light seeped down along the water curtain; the originally rippling Shuilang Bi suddenly froze as if iced over, then fine dragon scale patterns appeared on the surface; each dragon scale scraping across the water curtain emitted a "scratching" light sound, as if tearing at the foundation of the Water Law.

The Water Spirit Root Golden Core cultivator on the Wanhui Ship suddenly changed countenance; he could clearly feel that the water attribute magic power within his body and the surrounding water spiritual energy were uncontrollably surging toward the Azure Dragon Thunder Hand, as if the faintly visible azure dragon regarded them as nourishment.

"Not good!"

"This Thunder Technique can devour and control everything related to water!"

"It... is even assimilating my spells!"

He roared, channeling his mana to stabilize the Water Curtain, but the ripples on Shuilang Bi grew fainter while the Dragon Scale Pattern grew clearer, and even fine blue Thunder Arcs crawled down along the Water Curtain, landing on the Ship Side and instantly scorching deep burnt pits half an inch deep into the ship planks.

Seeing this scene, not to mention the Wan Family members all changed expression.

Even Xu Zhangqing and the others watching from afar on the Left Side, every single one of them, all stared wide-eyed.

Xu Zhangqing said with a rather complex expression: "These people of the Longhu Immortal Sect really aren't even bothering to act anymore!"

With just this move, even a fool could tell where this spell came from.

It seems the Longhu Immortal Sect simply has no intention of letting the Wan Family off.

Su Jinli had originally been quite calm, but her expression was now somewhat solemn; she glanced at everyone on Broken Moon Flowing Frost and reminded them: "Be careful, I feel that the person from the Longhu Immortal Sect who made a move should not be a Golden Core Stage Xiuxian Zhe."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding people were all startled and doubtful, and Xu Zhangqing asked tentatively: "A Nascent Soul True Monarch?!"
