Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Fierce Battle at the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower

Zhang Huanzhi emerged from the back mountain, looked up at the nighttime sky, and in his good mood, even the half-clouded moon seemed particularly pleasing.

Under the pitch-black night.

The shadows of the trees at the back mountain were vaguely crisscrossing. As the breeze blew through, they seemed like hanging ghosts, somewhat eerie, prompting Zhang Huanzhi to quicken his pace.

Suddenly.

He felt a chill of cold wind enveloping him:

”What’s going on?”

Zhang Huanzhi panicked inside and glanced around, but there was nothing unusual besides the trees. Suddenly thinking of something, he quickly looked up.

There, suspended in mid-air, a white-clad female ghost had appeared.

In the instant he looked up.

The female ghost opened her mouth and roared fiercely:

”Buzz!!”

A Soul Vortex Wave howled out, headed straight for him.

At such a close distance.

Zhang Huanzhi had no chance to dodge.

However.

The expected scenario where Zhang Huanzhi was directly knocked unconscious by the Soul Vortex Wave didn’t happen. At the critical moment, the Jade Buddha hanging around his neck emitted a brilliant yellow light, which trembled slightly, forming a light shield that blocked the Soul Vortex Wave.

Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Huanzhi’s body.

If not for the Tier Two Jade Buddha attained from Shangguan Hui for protection.

He would have surely been successfully ambushed by the enemy.

Now he dared not be careless.

Immediately, he summoned the Tier Two Low-Grade Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower granted by Shangguan Hui. He infused it with a series of Techniques, and colorful clouds transformed out, swirling in the air before changing into Purple Rings. The Purple Rings flashed with Spirit Light, shooting rapidly at Autumn Cicada in the sky.

Autumn Cicada retreated continually.

At the same time, her eyes turned red, and countless dark strands danced in the wind, instantly turning blood-red. The strands vibrated slightly, becoming as hard as iron, clashing with the Purple Rings, sparking furiously.

Fu Changsheng, hidden in the forest, squinted when he saw the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower.

He didn’t expect Zhang Huanzhi to possess a Tier Two Spiritual Artifact.

At this moment, he immediately changed his plan.

A light flashed from his storage bag, and in an instant, the Divine Staff was in his hand. Infusing it with a series of Techniques, Spirit Light flashed forth, and then countless Three-legged Fire Crows materialized, swooping down onto Zhang Huanzhi.

”Blood Moon Divine Staff!”

Seeing the familiar Three-legged Fire Crow, Zhang Huanzhi’s eyes flared with overwhelming anger:

”Fu Changsheng, so the ancestor truly died at your hands!”

The Blood Moon Divine Staff was their Zhang Family’s Clan Treasure.

How could it fall into someone else’s hands?

Old and new grudges surged within.

Zhang Huanzhi immediately struck his chest, spraying a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower. The first Cloud Ring Purple Gate opened, emitting a terrifying suction force. The Three-legged Fire Crows in the air screamed one by one and were sucked into the tower before they could attack.

Even the Blood Moon Divine Staff in Fu Changsheng’s hand vibrated violently, attempting to break free from his grasp.

Fu Changsheng snorted coldly.

He infused the Blood Moon Divine Staff with mana.

Once the Divine Staff was steadied.

The technique changed.

The Three-legged Fire Crows in the air burst into flames with a bang, the fire rolled, and a Three-legged Fire Crow, over ten feet tall, condensed. Its wings flapped, stirring a fierce wind, and its claws swung at Zhang Huanzhi, sending out blade-like rays.

Zhang Huanzhi quickly tapped the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower, and with a bang, the second layer opened. A Mountain Tiger leaped out, its claws waving, intercepting the Three-legged Fire Crow’s claw rays, evenly matched!

At full force, he activated the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower.

Zhang Huanzhi lasted less than five seconds before breaking out in a cold sweat.

Suddenly.

A humming sound resonated in his ears.

Turning his head, he saw.

Out of nowhere, a Tier One Illusory Jade Peak Bee King emerged from the ground. Its long teeth easily pierced through the Buddha Talisman’s defense:

”Looking for death!”

Zhang Huanzhi tapped the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower.

The treasure tower’s first layer instantly released a terrifying suction power toward the Illusory Jade Peak Bee King.

However.

The Bee King, having succeeded in its strike, showed no interest in continuing the fight, disappearing back into the ground.

At this moment.

Three streaks of sword light appeared on the horizon.

Three Celestial Thunder Swords transformed into three silvery lights, entering through the gap made by the Bee King. In haste, Zhang Huanzhi tapped the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower to block the one on the left. But with a bang, that Celestial Thunder Sword turned into starlight and scattered:

”A fake!”

Zhang Huanzhi’s pupils contracted.

At this moment.

The other two Celestial Thunder Swords shot toward his face.

At the critical moment.

The Mountain Tiger that was tangling with the Three-legged Fire Crow in the sky flashed with blue light and shielded Zhang Huanzhi in an instant.

With a tearing sound.

The Celestial Thunder Sword slashed down, cutting the Mountain Tiger in half.

Narrowly escaping a calamity, Zhang Huanzhi was flooded with relief.

Suddenly.

A Soul-Calming Talisman shot out from the Celestial Thunder Sword. This time, there was no way to avoid it, and the Soul-Calming Talisman slapped onto his forehead as quick as a flash, causing Zhang Huanzhi’s body to become rigid and motionless.

Jingle jingle!

The sound of bells rang.

A murmuring, ancient-sounding chant seeped from the forest, filling Zhang Huanzhi’s ears, causing his struggling expression to suddenly become enchanted.

In the forest.

Fu Molan, like an ancient witch, swayed a bell with her hands and feet, chanting mysterious spells. Zhang Huanzhi appeared bewitched, moving step by step toward Fu Molan.

”Receive!”

Fu Changsheng waved his sleeve.

Taking the now uncontrolled Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower into his storage bag.

At the same time, he quickly swallowed a Recovery Pill.

The battle that seemed to drag, in reality, only spanned ten-odd breaths from start to when Zhang Huanzhi was ensnared by Molan’s Soul Control Technique. Yet, in this brief span, every move could have been fatal, a single misstep could have spelled doom.

Fourth sister Fu Changli, hidden underground with the Tier One Illusory Jade Peak Bee King, suddenly emerged. Seeing Fu Changsheng’s pale face, she asked with concern, ”Patriarch?”

Fu Changsheng shook his head, indicating he was all right.

Their gaze fell on Fu Molan and Zhang Huanzhi.

At this moment.

Fu Molan bit her finger and swiftly traced a complicated talisman on Zhang Huanzhi’s arm. The talisman flashed with blood light and vanished into Zhang Huanzhi’s body.

Zhang Huanzhi’s eyes turned vacant.

Fu Molan quickly said:

”Patriarch, the Soul Control Technique only lasts for the time of half an incense stick burning; we need to move fast!”

Fu Changsheng nodded, mounted on the Flying Ship, and flew back toward Niushou Mountain, letting Zhang Huanzhi down just before reaching the back mountain. The ship activated its Secret Array.

Aboard the Flying Ship.

Watching, Molan chanted something to a paper doll in her hand. Ahead of them, Zhang Huanzhi immediately retrieved the Pass Token.

With a series of Techniques, the Pass Token gleamed with a brilliant white light, merging into Niushou Mountain’s Four Symbols Array. Ripples spread, and then a breach condensed:

”Go!”

Fu Changsheng’s heart raced heavily at this moment. Once they entered the Four Symbols Array, if Chen Diling wasn’t deceived, they three might very well meet their end!
