Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 395 Cutting out the roots
"squeak--"

The short man let out a long howl, swung his long staff, and with a "boom," a layer of purple flames burst forth from the entire staff. He then used the staff to strike the heavily made-up woman's fingernails.

At the same time, the tall woman wielded the vajra in her hand, and the air suddenly surged, causing water vapor to condense around her. Then, these layers of surging, along with the water vapor, rushed towards the Black River of Wronged Souls.

"boom!"

After a loud bang, there was a series of crisp sounds.

The short man and the heavily made-up woman exchanged dozens of blows in an instant. Purple flames had already burned the woman's fingernails, but the woman was surrounded by yin energy, which easily extinguished the purple flames.

The next moment, streaks of blood shot out from her fingernails, leaving trails of blood in the air. As she moved, the blood streaks did not dissipate in the air, but instead increased and became denser with her movements.

In just a few breaths, the blood vessels were about to form a blood-red cage, trapping the short man.

"Squeaky-"

The short man swung his long staff rapidly. Although his purple flames were powerful and could burn the blood vessels, the blood vessels recovered much faster than his burning.

The short man couldn't resist trying to leap into the sky, but was stopped by the heavily made-up woman. "With only five or six hundred years of cultivation, you've barely managed to fly. I'll let you survive for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and then I'll leave you with a whole corpse!"

The tall woman glared angrily and rushed to her aid, but before she could react, the black river conjured by the man in black stretched across her path, separating her from the short man.

At the same time, the black river twisted and turned, flowing in mid-air, and for a short time it also encircled the tall woman. The infant spirit in the river screamed mournfully, and the sound shook the tall woman's soul. The water vapor she had condensed with her magic power also began to become unstable.

Then the Black River turned into a series of loops, becoming more and more numerous and tighter, with streams of black water engulfing and assimilating the water vapor condensed by the woman, before approaching her.

"Give me back my son's life!" the man in black roared viciously. "My son didn't die at the hands of those lunatics in the Great Luo Palace who always clamor for justice, but he died at the hands of you two beasts! It's truly..."

"Who are you calling a madman?" an old voice suddenly asked.

"Hmm?" The man in black suddenly turned around and saw an old man in a blue robe with white hair and beard standing on the hill to his left.

The black-clad man's pupils constricted sharply. The person before him was one of the experts who had killed the great demon, who was also a master of Lianshan Prefecture, yesterday.

A few days ago, he and his wife, along with another notorious demon, traveled through the deep forests of the Antai Mountains, which connect to Wuya Ridge, to Baishi Mansion, where the Daluo Palace is located, intending to kill people and steal their souls, and then kill a few Daluo Palace disciples to vent their anger.

Not long after, the Daluo Palace sent four top experts to launch a surprise attack when the couple and the great demon were separated. With four against one, they easily annihilated the great demon.

The couple were shocked and dared not linger any longer, because two of the four experts were long-time residents of Wuya Ridge.

So they hurriedly returned to the Antai Mountains.

But before they could decide whether to head west to Shanzhou or leave the Central Plains dynasty for the Western Regions or the Southern Mountains, they discovered that their disciples and only son had been killed by two monkey demons.

Upon seeing the other party again, the anger over the murder of his disciples and only heir vanished instantly, leaving only terror in the black-clad man's heart.

The next moment, the heavily made-up woman reacted even faster than him. With a strange cry, she flew back and landed beside him.

Then they saw three people in another direction. An old man in a blue robe, with deep eyes like stars, stood to their left and behind, holding a wooden sword in his hand. But the wooden sword was crackling with purple lightning and exuded an aura of destruction.

A stunning woman dressed in fiery red stood to their right, smiling sweetly at them.

A cool and aloof woman dressed in white, Feng Xu, rode the wind and occupied the last position, surrounded by wisps of clouds that obscured the entire sky.

The short man and the tall woman finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when they saw the four great masters appear, they instinctively huddled together, protecting the last little monkey behind them.

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. You have no evil aura, so you are friends of the Great Luo Palace,” Daoist Yansong said with a chuckle.

As soon as Daoist Yansong finished speaking, the man and woman clasped hands without saying a word, their auras mingled, and they merged into a black beam of light, flying towards Miaoyun Ji, who was blocking the western passage.

The black river surged forth once more, accompanied by the wails and cries of countless infants, and swept towards Miaoyun Ji.

The heavily made-up woman disappeared into the Black River, her ten fingers shooting out bloody light. Two streaks shot towards her eyes, five towards her heart, and three towards her legs.

"Wow—"

With a clear whistle, Miao Yunji advanced instead of retreating, her body surrounded by condensed clouds that transformed into a massive hand that blotted out the sky, slamming down towards the Black River and the woman in it.

This spell is not Miao Yunji's divine power, but rather her enlightenment after cultivating the Dao. It combines the spirits of Yi Wood Xun Wind and Kan Water within her body. Water generates wood, transforming into a boundless sea of ​​clouds that can condense into various forms.

Condensing the Heaven-Covering Hand was simply what Miao Yunji felt was the most useful, as it corresponded perfectly with her own hand gestures.

She slapped her slender hand downwards, and the colossal hand that blotted out the sky slapped down in return, directly shattering the Black River. However, the heavily made-up woman and the man were in sync, their magical powers unified, and the Black River was not shattered by her slap.

But Miaoyun Ji didn't come alone.

Just as she stopped the man and woman opposite, Ye Ruyan, Daoist Yansong, and Daoist Mingyu also made their move.

Ye Ruyan didn't get close. She simply exhaled, and a dense, hot mist floated out of her mouth, drifting lightly around the Black River and then gently adhering to it.

The next moment, the heat intensified in the smoke and mist, causing the Black River to sizzle and burn. Not only did it scorch and wear down most of the Black River, but the infant ghosts in the river also screamed and howled, trying to hide in the middle of the river. However, many of them wanted to hide back into the body of the man in black.

But Master Mingyu's lightning magic extinguished their last hope of survival.

A shimmering, multicolored purple-gold light descended from the sky, striking the Black River directly and severing its connection to the man in black. The lightning then transformed into a sea of ​​shimmering purple light, engulfing the entire Black River.

The man in black reluctantly abandoned the Black River, hoping to escape, but before he could move, paper figures suddenly floated down from all around him.

In an instant, the paper figure emitted endless golden light, dazzling the eyes. When he was able to open his eyes again, twenty-four Heavenly Warriors, clad in golden armor and enveloped in golden light, surrounded him, each wielding a weapon.

Master Yansong strolled over, patted the gourd, and a long sword suddenly appeared in his hand. Then, he gently shook his shoulders, and a yellow mask appeared on his face.

"May the Heavenly Venerable grant you boundless blessings. Today, this old Taoist priest will seek retribution on behalf of the lives you have harmed."
