But at this moment,
Wang Ba’s heart suddenly turned cold.
Within his Spiritual Sense, he abruptly perceived a sense of danger!
And almost at the same instant,
the two people by his side cried out in unison:
"Who’s there!?"
"Be careful!"
No sooner had their voices fallen than Wang Ba noticed two figures suddenly appearing at his side!
Following that were two sharp cries of pain!
"It’s Li Wanjiu!"
"And Zhou Boyang!"
Wang Ba was greatly alarmed in his heart.
The next moment, before he could perceive anything else,
a burst of light erupted from his body!
Bang bang bang!
A series of several hundred consecutive, dense attacks instantly dimmed the light of the Zen Shadow Clothing on Wang Ba’s body!
The child embroidered on the Zen Shadow Clothing even seemed to be on the verge of dissipating.
He didn’t even have to think.
A yellowish-brown bead exploded in an instant!
Weng!
The robust power of Wutu enveloped him in an instant, taking on the onslaught of the following attacks.
And the remaining power of Wutu, under the command of the "True Yang Wu Earth Scripture," transformed into a powerful Spell, rapidly solidifying the surrounding void, forcing the hidden figure of the opponent to reveal itself.
Finally, he had a chance to see the Cultivator who attacked him.
"Puppets!"
"Nascent Soul at its peak?!"
Wang Ba looked in surprise at the two figures in black robes that had appeared before him.
This was not unfamiliar to him; it was precisely what the Daoist Cultivators from Shengzhou excelled in, puppets.
What shocked him, however, was the aura the two puppets exhibited upon their attack, which gave him a feeling akin to that of a Nascent Soul Cultivator at its peak.
At this moment, their hands spread wide, a series of solidified Spells hurtled toward Wang Ba.
But they were barely blocked by the incredibly dense power of Wutu outside Wang Ba’s body.
"Nascent Soul at its peak... Are they still targeting me?"
A chill went through Wang Ba’s heart.
However, the next moment, he suddenly froze, unable to help but look up.
Above him,
two clouds of blood rain swiftly gathered.
"Has someone fallen?"
His heart sank abruptly as he quickly turned his gaze around.
But where could he still see Li Wanjiu and Zhou Boyang?
He could only feel the remnants of their extinguished vitality scatter in the aura around them…
"They... are dead?"
The two Nascent Soul Cultivators who were just laughing and telling him that they would protect him, had they just died right before his eyes?
Wang Ba was immensely shaken.
Before he could register any more emotions,
the power of Wutu outside his body was on the verge of collapse!
"Audacious scoundrels!"
The Da Jin Monks from afar had also noticed Wang Ba’s plight, and before the Nascent Soul Cultivators who haven’t yet come to his aid could respond, they angrily rallied back to help.
Further away, midair,
Shen Ying’s expression suddenly changed:
"Not good! Martial Nephew Wang is in danger!"
In the blink of an eye, a surge of azure waves rapidly coalesced from below, rushing towards Wang Ba.
All of this... was within the perception of Wang Ba’s Spiritual Sense.
However, at this very instant, he realized a critical issue:
Time!
"It’s too late!"
Whether it be the cultivators from Jin or Uncle Shen Ying, their rescue would take time!
Yet, in just an instant, these two puppets could kill Wang Ba!
"Body Sealing Art... no good!"
Wang Ba barely sensed it before he realized his three Jade Pendants were currently among the cultivators from the Three Continents.
Once he teleported there, the reception would likely be an environment even more dangerous than facing these two peak Nascent Soul cultivators.
At this moment, Wang Ba’s heart settled down all of a sudden.
Dharmas into One.
Yin’s Great Dream Sutra.
The five elements cultivation method, Dragon-Tiger Yuankan Method, Ride the Wind, Thunderstorm Body, Great Returning... Numerous spells and curses...
Zen Shadow Clothing, Flying Shuttle, palm-leaf fan... Mysterious Dragon Soldiers...
All that he had learned flashed through his mind one by one.
His knowledge was vast, and his combats were either forced or premeditated.
The number of times he had taken action, in fact, wasn’t all that many.
Each time he acted, it often wasn’t coherent.
But at this moment, he suddenly had a peculiar enlightenment.
An understanding of the Dharmas into One.
The next moment.
The power of Wutu burst apart with a bang.
Both puppets raised their hands to condense mana, slapping towards him!
Wang Ba’s expression was solemn.
Repeating an old trick.
A jar of black water flew out.
He almost instantaneously completed a complex pattern, transforming into a beam of black light that fused into one of the puppets.
Even though the puppet tried to dodge, it was still hit.
The Spiritual Light in its eyes instantly dimmed.
The palm that was originally striking towards Wang Ba stiffened in a moment, and then like having lost control, the entire puppet plummeted straight down.
"Audacious!"
A shout of rage came from the thin cultivator of Dao Sheng Continent in midair.
Nonetheless, the other puppet was unaffected, mana surged forth, the hand turning to fingers, and in an instant turned into five rays of divine light, shooting towards Wang Ba!
Wang Ba’s expression stiffened slightly.
But he wasn’t afraid.
A flash of his figure on his Flying Shuttle.
The five rays of divine light, however, stuck to him like a shadow.
"Five Elements?"
Wang Ba’s expression unchanged, he raised his hand and likewise sent out five rays of divine light.
But the gap was too large.
As the divine lights collided, the divine light Wang Ba sent out was almost instantly extinguished.
However, Wang Ba was not discouraged.
The moment the divine lights collided, he already analyzed the spell’s Dao Intention contained within.
"It’s actually not so surprising, and even rather rigid, only prevailing in the strength of mana and formidable power."
"Indeed, this is after all a puppet, how could it be as nimble as a real cultivator."
Wang Ba’s heart became settled.
Then Mother Qi of Dharmas surged, borrowing the power of Wutu from before, and first, it condensed an Earth Element divine light, which preemptively struck at the Water Element divine light among the five.
He then used Water Element against Fire, Fire against Gold, Gold against Wood, Wood against Earth...
The Five Elements cycle of mutual conquest.
In that instant, Wang Ba used the theory of the mutual generation and conquest of the Five Elements to neutralize the edge of the opponent’s five rays of divine light.
And once their sharpness was blunted,
Under Ride the Wind, as if aided by a deity, he cast spells at even a faster pace.
He then took the initiative, using the opponent’s five rays of divine light, blending them with the Mother Qi of Dharmas, then releasing them with an addition of Wind and Thunder, greatly diminishing the power of those divine lights...
In this brief moment,
Wang Ba successively utilized all he had learned.
And he barely managed to gain a respite from the puppet’s assault.
And at that moment,
The blue waters finally surged up from below.
With a wave, Wang Ba was enveloped.
