Chapter 210

Hong Yi's expression was grave as he said in a deep voice, "If he has also come, neither of us is a match for him."

Su Mu nodded and said, "That is correct, neither of us is a match. However, just as you said, we will wait for an opportunity to act this time. If there is a chance, we will strike; if there is no chance, then so be it."

Hong Yi nodded and said, "Let's go."

Subsequently, the two of them, like agile apes, quickly darted into the dense forest.

……

Outside Tianwu City.

"Eh, what is going on? In this vast plain, why is there not even a single person?"

Nalan Yanluo frowned, her expression grave as she said, "And all the way here, all the villages have been deserted. Could it be that the people of the Witch Ghost Path knew we were coming, so they moved everyone to that main city?"

As she spoke, she looked up at the city in the distance, seeing only its silhouette.

These past few days, he had also taken the time to organize the Great Zen Temple's medicine storehouse and the Witch Ghost Path's medicine storehouse, discovering five sets of medicinal materials needed to refine Aperture-Opening Pills.

A mere city cannot stop us.

What I am worried about now is that the Witch Ghost Path has retreated entirely into the primeval forest, abandoning even the city.

In that case, I fear we have made this trip for nothing."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the others all sank.

The Wilderness Continent is a true continent, tens of thousands of miles in circumference, filled everywhere with primeval forests.

As long as they hide inside, who could find them?

Prince Kun, Nalan Yuanzhen, said in a deep voice, "We will know the situation once we go and investigate. Marshal, Senior Yuan, Priest Ba'er, let us speed up. The Champion Marquis and the others will likely arrive soon as well."

This team was a joint effort of three parties, but in reality, he was the leader.

He was the prince most favored by the Emperor of Yunmeng.

On the Yunmeng Empire side, there were three Ghost Immortals: Nalan Yanluo, Nalan Hai, and Bi Shihua.

There was also Xing Yuxian, who had reached the Great Completion of Possession; she was the daughter of the Peacock King, Xing Xuan, and held the Five Elements Sword Evil, with combat power comparable to a Ghost Immortal.

Zhengang Sect: Yuan Shizu, who had passed one Thunder Tribulation, and the Ghost Immortal Baiyugong.

Jingyuan Temple: Saint Ba'er, who had passed one Thunder Tribulation, and the Martial Saint Breaking Thunder King.

Although there were only seven Martial Saints and Ghost Immortals, in terms of comprehensive combat power, they were no worse than the Champion Marquis and the others.

"Good!"

Everyone nodded one after another and increased their speed.

Half an hour later.

The group finally arrived at Tianwu City, only to see the city gates wide open.

Standing on the city wall was a young girl in yellow, her dress fluttering as she looked at them coldly.

"Chan Yinsha, it's you!"

The Black Wolf King, Bi Shihua, exclaimed, instantly recognizing his mortal enemy. He questioned, "Why are you here? And what is going on with this Tianwu City? Why can't I see a single person?"

"She is Chan Yinsha—what a stunning beauty, truly worthy of being one of the Eight Great Demon Kings!"

A strange look flashed in Prince Kun Nalan Yuanzhen's eyes as he whispered to himself.

The others paid no attention to his words, all staring intently at Chan Yinsha; everything here was permeated with strangeness.

Although Chan Yinsha was one of the Eight Great Demon Kings, she was on the same level as Bi Shihua—both were top-tier Ghost Immortals—and she definitely could not have destroyed the Witch Ghost Path. Yet, looking inside through the city gate, it was equally empty.

Why was she here?

And facing them, she showed no fear at all!

Chan Yinsha giggled, her voice light and airy: "Why can't you see anyone? Of course, it's because they are all dead. The Witch Ghost Path has already been destroyed by me; you have arrived a step too late."

"What? The Witch Ghost Path was destroyed by you? How is this possible? Where is the Universe Bag?"

Bi Shihua could not believe it.

The others' eyes began to burn with greed.

Since the Witch Ghost Path had been destroyed, the Universe Bag must have fallen into Chan Yinsha's hands.

Chan Yinsha shook her head and said, "The Universe Bag is not in my hands. If you want to find the Universe Bag, you can enter the city, but the Black Wolf King must stay behind. Black Wolf King, we have fought for decades; today is the day to settle the score."

The Black Wolf King was wearing a cloak, so his expression could not be seen, but his five fingers gripping the Doom Axe tightened, and he said coldly, "Chan Yinsha, the ocean is your home turf. You couldn't win against me on the sea; do you think you can win against me on land?"

Chan Yinsha's face turned cold, and she said coldly, "The past is the past, and now is now. You have killed countless of my clansmen, your hands are stained with blood, and this Tianwu City shall be your burial ground."

After she finished speaking, she made her move.

"Thunder God Giant Spirit!"

A wisp of warm wind darted out from between Chan Yinsha's brows, transforming into a Thunder God above her head.

This Thunder God was fifty or sixty meters tall, with a human body and a bird's face, wings on its back, and a giant hammer in its hand. Its whole body was surrounded by countless bolts of thunder, emitting a sizzling sound, as if a Thunder God from the heavens had descended to the world.

As soon as this Thunder God Giant Spirit took shape, it raised the giant hammer in its hand and struck at Bi Shihua through the air.

Crackle!

A thick bolt of lightning tore through the void and struck Bi Shihua fiercely.

"You have crossed the tribulation!"

Almost the instant the Thunder God Giant Spirit took shape, Bi Shihua cried out in shock. He felt an aura so oppressive it was terrifying emanating from the Thunder God Giant Spirit, and he actually felt a sense of death.

Such a terrifying aura could only be possessed by a Ghost Immortal who had passed the Thunder Tribulation.

Because of this, he hurriedly darted to the side.

Just as the lightning struck, Bi Shihua narrowly avoided it.

Boom!

The lightning struck the ground, blasting out a deep pit more than two meters in diameter.

Flying sand and rocks struck Nalan Yanluo and the others like crossbow bolts, causing them to exclaim and even cry out in pain, because their group included not only Martial Saints and Ghost Immortals but also other martial artists and cultivators, totaling more than thirty people.

"Dodging? Let's see how you dodge this!"

Chan Yinsha was in high spirits. As she shouted, the Thunder God Giant Spirit struck down fiercely again.

This time it wasn't one bolt of lightning, but nine, like lightning from the nine heavens falling, sealing off all of the Black Wolf King Bi Shihua's escape routes, leaving him no choice but to resist head-on.

"Doom Axe!"

With nowhere to hide, the Black Wolf King Bi Shihua roared, his blood boiling, and he swung the Doom Axe to hack at the lightning.

Boom!

The lightning struck the Doom Axe, blooming with brilliant divine light.

Although he shattered one of the bolts, two more bolts of lightning struck his Doom Cloak.

This Doom Cloak was forged by Bi Shihua through thousands of hammerings of a wolf skin from his previous life; it was a very powerful defensive magic tool that could greatly weaken lightning attacks, but it could not eliminate them entirely.

Ah!

Bi Shihua screamed, countless bolts of thunder coursing through his body, leaving him numb and stiff, his internal organs feeling as if they were being cooked by electricity.

"Save the Marshal!"

Prince Kun Nalan Yuanzhen suddenly roared, while he himself retreated rapidly.

A Ghost Immortal-level battle was not something he could participate in.

"Nine Nether Yellow Springs!"

"Life and Death Impermanence!"

Nalan Yanluo and Nalan Hai were the first to strike, wielding the Yellow Springs Staff and the Impermanence Sword.

"Five Elements Sword Evil!"

Xing Yuxian also made her move, throwing out five sword pellets.

Although she had only reached the Great Completion of Possession, a Ghost Immortal had once tried to possess her, but she had been refined by her father, the Peacock King, using great means, and instead, it had become her nourishment; thus, her cultivation was extremely profound.

If she could become a Ghost Immortal, she would immediately be able to cross the tribulation.

"Heavenly God Giant Palm!"

"Yuan Ice Explosion!"

……

Yuan Shizu, Ba'er, and the others all made their moves.

The Martial Saint Breaking Thunder King even leaped up and rushed toward the city wall.

The Breaking Thunder King had golden hair and green eyes, was over two meters tall, and his muscles bulged all over his body, looking like a small giant. His blood energy was condensed and thick, but it carried a faint scent of sulfur.
