Chapter 625: Fierce Battle

Bailong Daze stretched endlessly, its vast expanse dotted with islands of various sizes, scattered like stars across the lake. The small island Wang Chen had chosen was utterly unremarkable, yet to his surprise, it had already been visited by others.

They had come to collect spring water, likely for some special purpose.

After all, water was the least scarce resource in the great marsh.

Now, Wang Chen faced a dilemma.

If he continued his hidden cultivation here, there was no guarantee they wouldn’t return.

But if he abandoned this place, finding another suitable spot would be no easy task, rendering all his previous efforts futile.

“Haha, the mouse has come out!”

Just as Wang Chen was weighing his options, a voice laced with mockery suddenly rang out.

In the next instant, four figures materialized simultaneously around the Small House in the woods!

Wang Chen’s expression changed immediately.

He had just used his divine sense to scan the area and confirmed that the others had left, with no signs of disturbance remaining on the island.

Yet these individuals seemed to have anticipated his presence, setting a trap before departing and teleporting back the moment he revealed himself, catching him completely off guard.

The four cultivators surrounding Wang Chen consisted of three men and one woman, all strikingly youthful and attractive, exuding an air of refinement. They appeared to be the kind of disciples sent out for training by a prestigious Family of Cultivators.

They had sealed off all of Wang Chen’s escape routes, and an oppressive force enveloped him, invisible yet palpable.

The slightest movement from Wang Chen would provoke a thunderous retaliation!

Their gazes locked onto him like wild cats eyeing a mouse, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

“Sister, your Qiankun Shift Talisman is truly remarkable,”

one of the blue-clad cultivators said with a laugh. “Catching mice hiding in their holes is as easy as snapping your fingers!”

The female cultivator, addressed as “Sister,” wrinkled her nose and replied with a proud tone, “Of course it is! Second Brother, Seventh Brother, this mouse looks promising. Let me keep him for testing my talismans.”

She wore a yellow skirt and a jade hairpin, her eyes sparkling with warmth even before she spoke, her beauty truly exceptional.

“No problem!”

the blue-clad cultivator replied affectionately. “Even if you hadn’t asked, I would’ve captured him for you to play with.”

Sister smiled sweetly. “That’s more like it.”

“Enough playing around,”

an older cultivator interjected. “Hurry up and deal with him. We have many tasks ahead of us.”

The blue-clad cultivator nodded.

He turned to Wang Chen with a cold smile. “Meeting us is your misfortune. Surrender quietly and seal your dantian to spare yourself unnecessary suffering.”

As soon as the blue-clad cultivator finished speaking, the white-clad cultivator to his right suddenly spread his fingers, a faint golden light emanating from his fingertips as he reached out to seize Wang Chen from a distance!

Wang Chen instantly felt the space around him solidify, as though he were a fish caught in a net. No matter how he struggled or dodged, he couldn’t escape the invisible threads tightening around him.

At the same time, the auras of the other three cultivators locked onto him with unyielding precision!

Although the four regarded Wang Chen as an easy target, filled with mockery and disdain, they clearly did not underestimate him. As they struck, they unleashed overwhelming force.

One high-level Purple Palace cultivator, two mid-level cultivators, and one beginner cultivator faced Wang Chen, who also held a high-level Purple Palace level; it was a crushing match!

But that was merely their assumption.

At the same moment the white-clad cultivator attacked, Wang Chen suddenly raised his right palm and struck heavily towards them.

With a silent gesture, the Heavenly Dragon Manifestation appeared behind Wang Chen, its claws bared and head raised in a roar. An unmatched powerful aura erupted, shattering the oppressive force that bound him!

Having cultivated the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method to the seventh level, Wang Chen had refined an Immortal body technique, making his physique as strong as that of a Golden Core cultivator.

The four Purple Palace cultivators thought they could suppress him with their might, but that was simply foolish!

This strike gathered all of Wang Chen’s Heavenly Dragon power.

Bang!

With a dull thud, the white-clad cultivator seemed to be struck by a heavy hammer, his chest and abdomen caving in, and he flew backward like a kite with its string cut.

Blood sprayed from his mouth.

A flash of Upper Spirits light surrounded him; it was unclear whether it had activated a protective talisman or a life-preserving treasure, but he was not killed on the spot.

Even so, this mid-level Purple Palace cultivator announced his temporary withdrawal from the battle.

At least for now, he could not support his companions.

Having successfully struck, Wang Chen opened his mouth and unleashed a dazzling sword light!

After spending a vast amount of resources and pouring in immense effort into crafting and refining the Longyuan Sword, he could not let it be absent in this Life-and-Death Battle.

The flying sword targeted the female cultivator in the yellow skirt!

Among the four cultivators, the girl in the yellow skirt was the youngest and the least experienced.

Yet Wang Chen valued her more than the other three!

This "Sister" was a talisman cultivator.

In a team battle, talisman cultivators often serve auxiliary roles, but their impact is not to be underestimated.

An adept talisman cultivator can greatly enhance their side’s combat ability and cause their opponent considerable trouble.

Most importantly, as long as there are enough talismans, a talisman cultivator can sustain battle longer than others!

Wang Chen aimed to eliminate the talisman cultivator first!

Seeing the Longyuan Sword charging toward her like an unstoppable force, the girl in the yellow skirt turned pale and instinctively activated a talisman she held.

Her figure instantly vanished, successfully relocating herself at the critical moment.

The Longyuan Sword missed its target and curved almost perfectly toward the white-clad cultivator!

The white-clad cultivator, just struck down by Wang Chen, suffered injuries to his five organs from the force of the Diamond Palm, and within his body, his Qi and blood surged like boiling water. He could hardly muster even two or three-tenths of his power.

He didn’t even have time to take out a Healing Pill to swallow, realizing the flying sword was heading straight for him, dread filled him.

“Save me!”

The white-clad cultivator knew well that in his current state, he could not escape this sword strike.

Thus, he could only place his hope on his companions.

He shouted desperately for help, and the other two cultivators had no choice but to intervene, immediately ceasing their attack on Wang Chen to intercept the thunderous Longyuan Sword.

The blue-clad cultivator released a beam of golden light, while the elder cultivator raised an ancient bell, covering the white-clad cultivator with it!

But they never expected that Wang Chen’s attack on the white-clad cultivator was merely a feint.

The Longyuan Sword changed direction and soared toward the sky!

As the attention of the three cultivators was drawn away, Wang Chen’s figure appeared beside the girl in the yellow skirt like a wraith.

He activated the Supreme Mysterious Spirit Dragon True Form Image and instantly drew her in.

Having just completed her relocation, the girl in the yellow skirt had not anticipated that Wang Chen had been watching her the entire time.

Despite carrying various spiritual symbols and protective treasures, she was utterly unable to resist the absorbing destructive power of the Supreme Mysterious Spirit Dragon True Form Image.

An elegant image of a woman instantly appeared within the treasure map.

“Sister!”

The blue-clad cultivator witnessed the entire process of the yellow-skirted girl being taken, his eyes about to burst with rage, and his hair standing on end!
