Chapter 650: 559 Seven-Colored Jade Lotus_1

Shen Long and Shen Hai stood atop the Blue Flying Boat, gazing into the not-so-distant yellow desert where sand filled the skies and violent winds raged.

"Master, there is a restriction here,"

the Hundred Eyes Cicada spoke.

"Besides the restriction, is there anything else?"

Shen Long inquired.

"I haven’t discovered anything else yet. I’d need to go deeper into the desert to further investigate, but that would be too dangerous,"

the Hundred Eyes Cicada explained.

Raising his right hand, Shen Hai released a Talisman that flickered with ceaseless blue light. It transformed into a burly young man dressed in blue, his body adorned with shimmering runes; a Nascent Soul Stage Rune Soldier acquired from a cultivator of the Blood Flame Sect.

The blue-clad youth turned into a streak of blue light and flew towards the sky, though not at a swift pace.

After flying out several hundred li, an overwhelming gravitational force emerged, causing his body to uncontrollably plummet towards the ground.

The blue light around the blue-clad youth flared intensely, to no avail, as his body continued to fall. Winds howled fiercely as countless yellow sand particles rose into the sky, solidifying into spears of the same color, all aiming for the blue-clad youth.

A thick layer of blue water curtain materialized around the blue-clad youth’s body, shielding him entirely.

The dense yellow sand spears pierced through the blue-clad youth’s body, forcing him to revert back into a rune-inscribed Talisman, which then self-ignited into ashes.

"Forget it, since there’s a restriction, we’ll just bypass it,"

Shen Long said.

Shen Hai nodded, pinched a spell, and the Blue Flying Boat immediately shone with dazzling blue light as it headed back the way it came.

A short time later, the Blue Flying Boat appeared above an expanse of dark, dense forest.

"Master, be careful of the ambush beneath us,"

the Hundred Eyes Cicada cautioned.

No sooner had it spoken than an intense gravitational force arose, transforming the ground within a hundred li into sand. A large number of trees sank into pits of sand as the desert sand filled the skies once more.

A large quantity of yellow sand particles coalesced together, forming into spears of the same color that shot straight towards Shen Long.

Shen Long released a stream of yellow soundwaves from his mouth, shattering the incoming yellow sand spears, and dust billowed upwards.

The yellow soundwaves charged towards the ground at high speed.

The earth exploded, unleashing a massive red sword light that swept out and slashed towards both Shen Long and Shen Hai.

At the same time, a series of mournful wails echoed as copious amounts of black yin qi surged from the ground amidst strong yin winds.

Shen Long’s right fist erupted with brilliant yellow light, slamming into the red sword light with a punch.

With a clang, the red sword light was sent flying back, transforming into nine Flying Swords wreathed in ceaseless red light, surrounding Shen Long and Shen Hai.

The nine red Flying Swords rapidly spun around, emitting a harsh, ear-piercing whine.

"Sword Formation!"

Shen Long’s eyebrows furrowed.

A voluptuous woman in a red robe and a tall man in black robes emerged from underground, their attire indicating they were from the Qi Family and the Yinluo Sect.

The woman in the red robe was in the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation, while the man in the black robe was in the Middle Stage.

The woman in the red robe pinched a finger spell, and the nine red Flying Swords emitted a torrent of red sword qi, heading straight for Shen Long and Shen Hai.

Shen Hai flicked his sleeve, sending out a Banner Flag that flowed with unceasing blue light. After he injected a spell into it, the blue Banner Flag shone brilliantly, releasing vast amounts of blue water that surrounded them completely.

The swirling blue water surged, sending forth blue water spears that blocked the incoming red sword qi.

Shen Long flicked his wrist, releasing the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon. One of its heads emitted a yellow light that struck a red Flying Sword, which began to petrify at a visible rate, turning into a stone Flying Sword.

With a crack, the stone sword shattered.

The woman in the red robe spat out a large mouthful of Essence Blood—that was her Life-bound Flying Sword, and one was destroyed just like that.

"Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon, you actually possess an Ancient Great Demon!"

The dark-robed figure exclaimed in alarm.

A thick column of golden thunder descended from the sky, striking towards the dark-robed elder.

Just as the dark-robed figure was about to dodge, a piercing screech sounded, and at the same time, a cold woman’s voice arose, "Dare to ambush my master, you shall all stay behind!"

The dark-robed figure felt dizzy and his eyes became dull.

The golden thunder column struck the dark-robed elder, and lightning engulfed the figure of the dark-robed man.

A thunderous boom, four red flying swords flew out in reverse, while the expression on the face of the woman in the red dress turned pale, revealing disbelief.

"Petrification Divine Ability!"

The woman in the red dress exclaimed, her life treasure destroyed by a large margin, and her sword formation was broken.

With a loud boom, a giant yellow python shot up from the ground. It hadn’t traveled far before it fell into a sandpit, lifeless.

The Iron Tail Scorpion emerged from the ground, spraying a stream of yellow glow, enveloping the yellow python before swallowing it.

A chilly wind blew through the void hundreds of miles away, revealing the tense figure of the dark-robed man.

"Run, Fairy Qi, a mature Nine-headed Ghost Dove can devour True Dragons and Heavenly Phoenixes."

The dark-robed figure warned, his body shining with a black light.

Just then, a fierce wind blew through, and the Nine-headed Ghost Pigeon appeared in front of him.

"Since you recognize me, then there is no need for you to leave," the Nine-headed Ghost Pigeon coldly stated upon speaking.

The dark-robed figure’s face turned pale with fright as he spat out a white bone fan swathed in black mist, lightly waving it to unleash a great swathe of white flames that engulfed the body of the Nine-headed Ghost Pigeon.

The Nine-headed Ghost Pigeon’s wings fluttered gently, emitting a strong blue light, creating a blue barrier that held the white flames at bay,

The dark-robed figure released a fierce ghost with a green face and sharp fangs, a ghost creature at the early stages of Divinity Transformation.

Just as the Fierce Ghost appeared, a swath of blue light descended from the sky, aiming for the ghost.

Just as the Fierce Ghost tried to avoid it, a piercing screech sounded, leaving it dizzy and wrapped in blue light, bereft of the power to resist.

Four of the Nine-headed Ghost Pigeon’s heads crowded forward, biting into the ghost creature, gently tearing, and swallowing it down.

The figure of the dark-robed man glowed with black light and vanished into a gust of yin qi.

Four hundred miles away, the dark-robed man reappeared.

"Thinking of running? Too late," a cold voice sounded.

As soon as the voice fell, a golden thunder light flared up behind the dark-robed man—it was the Thunder Roc.

The Thunder Roc opened its mouth to emit a thick golden lightning bolt, striking the dark-robed man as the lightning engulfed him.

The Thunder Roc’s wings flapped fiercely, hurling out hundreds of golden thunderballs, which hit the dark-robed man one after another, followed by a scream of agony.

Its deadly claws reached into the lightning, eliciting a piercing scream.

A Nascent Soul that greatly resembled the dark-robed man flew out from the lightning. A gust of wind blew through, and the Nine-headed Ghost Pigeon appeared, spitting a bluish mist that enveloped the Nascent Soul before swallowing it.

"Why are you here instead of helping our master? I could have dealt with him," the Thunder Roc said, somewhat displeased.

"I helped our master destroy her life-bound flying swords. She’s no match for our master and has been slain by him," explained the Nine-headed Ghost Pigeon, its wings fluttering lightly as it disappeared from the spot.

In an open area, Shen Long and Shen Hai stood on the ground, surrounded by scattered items.

In Shen Long’s hand was an exquisite red jade box containing a Seven-Colored Lotus Seed, its surface radiating seven-colored spiritual light.

"The lotus seed of the Seven-Colored Jade Lotus, this is an object that can cause spirit beasts, spirit insects, and spirit birds to mutate." Shen Long said joyfully.
