Chapter 4901: The Tianji Sect Reinforcements Arrive

"A sixth-tier automaton beast! This isn't good, reinforcements from the Heavenly Secret Sect have arrived." Wang Lihe's face was filled with vigilance as he warned.

The Sky-Reaching Giant Sword floated motionlessly in mid-air.

Wang Zonglang chanted an incantation, and the humanoid phantom above his head raised its arms high. Countless blue mists emerged from thin air, converging into a blue river. The river swelled immensely, carrying a force of a million jun, scattering the crimson sea of flames.

Wang Lihe frowned, and with a sword incantation, the Sky-Reaching Giant Sword immediately burst with brilliant light. Countless blue sword qi swept out, aggressively slashing towards the young woman in the red dress.

The blue sword qi flew for over ten zhang before stopping and hovering in mid-air.

With a muffled clang of metal, the Sky-Reaching Giant Sword was sent flying backward.

The golden flood dragon shook its head and tail, heading directly for Wang Lihe.

A golden light streaked swiftly through the sky, revealing a massive, shimmering golden scroll. Thousands of Heavenly Secret Sect disciples stood upon it, led by a slender young woman.

The young woman wore a golden silk dress embroidered with cranes. Her long, dark hair was elegantly coiled with a green jade hairpin. Her full bosom seemed ready to burst from her clothes, and her slender waist was cinched by a dark silk jade belt, highlighting her curvaceous figure.

Luo Xiangyun, the Heavenly Secret Master's youngest disciple, was at the Mid-Void Refinement stage.

The Heavenly Secret Sect's main base was quite far from the Thunder Dove Mountain Range. Elders from several branch sects, upon hearing the news, immediately led their people to the location. Once the Heavenly Secret Sect's leader learned of the situation, they promptly dispatched Luo Xiangyun to lead a team of seven Void Refinement cultivators and over a hundred God Transformation cultivators to the Thunder Dove Mountain Range, hoping to secure the Forbidden God Stone mine.

As soon as Luo Xiangyun arrived with her team, she witnessed the deaths of her fellow disciples and naturally would not let the matter rest.

The Heavenly Secret Sect's Void Refinement cultivators either unleashed their treasures or activated their Dharma Idols, attacking Wang Lihe and Wang Zonglang.

The Heavenly Secret Sect's God Transformation cultivators also took action, assailing Wang Youxin and the other God Transformation cultivators.

Wang Lihe and Wang Zonglang were not arrogant enough to believe they could handle nine Void Refinement cultivators. It would not be easy for them to escape, especially with Wang Youxin and the others present. If they fled too quickly, Wang Youxin and the others would certainly be unable to escape.

Knowing that remaining would only be a burden, Wang Youxin and his group covered each other as they orderly retreated.

Wang Youxin and Chen Ruyi transformed into two streaks of escape light, rapidly breaking through the air. Five God Transformation cultivators from the Heavenly Secret Sect gave chase.

Seeing the golden flood dragon pounce, Wang Zonglang dared not be careless. He waved a constantly flickering blue banner, and countless blue mists surged from the void, rapidly transforming into an entirely blue water dragon to meet the golden flood dragon.

With a thunderous roar, the blue water dragon was shattered to pieces by the golden flood dragon in a single clash, dissipating into a sky full of mist. The mist suddenly condensed, forming a colossal, misty blue hand that swiftly seized the golden flood dragon's body.

The golden flood dragon's body twisted ceaselessly, emitting blinding golden light, perforating the colossal hand with countless holes.

Wang Lihe changed his sword incantation, and the Sky-Reaching Giant Sword suddenly trembled, unleashing thousands of fierce blue sword qi that swept towards Luo Xiangyun and her group with astonishing momentum.

While activating the sixth-tier automaton beast to attack Wang Lihe and Wang Zonglang, Luo Xiangyun chanted an incantation. Golden light erupted from her body, and a gigantic female phantom appeared above her head.

A significant portion of the woman's body flickered with spiritual light, appearing almost corporeal. Her Dharma Idol had condensed by three-tenths, which was quite impressive, considering most other Void Refinement cultivators had only condensed their Dharma Idols by one-tenth.

The female phantom opened its mouth and spewed out a misty golden flame, sweeping towards the opponents with terrifying high temperatures.

A deafening roar echoed from high in the sky, revealing a massive golden fire cloud. The surrounding void twisted and warped, seemingly unable to withstand the intense heat.

The golden fire cloud churned and surged, releasing golden raindrops the size of beans. These transformed into golden fireballs that rained down like meteors upon Wang Zonglang and Wang Lihe.

Before the golden fireballs even landed, an astonishing wave of high temperature washed over them.

Wang Zonglang changed his incantation, and the humanoid phantom above his head blazed with spiritual light. The void vibrated and distorted, and countless blue mists surged from the surrounding hundreds of miles, swiftly forming a vast azure sea to meet the falling golden fireballs.

With a series of thunderous roars, the dense golden fireballs successively struck the azure sea, disappearing and emitting billows of white mist.

The vast azure sea, carrying a force of a million jun, surged towards Luo Xiangyun and her group.

" 'Indeed, you possess some skill,' a dignified, tall young man in white, carrying an exquisite white sword box on his back, stated coldly. 'No wonder Junior Brother Li was killed by you.' "

Leng Feng, a Mid-Void Refinement cultivator, was the Heavenly Secret Sect's Enforcement Elder.

The Wang family was no ordinary force; the Heavenly Secret Sect's leader had dispatched masters from their main headquarters, with other Void Refinement cultivators still en route.

Leng Feng chanted a sword incantation, and a clear sword cry resonated as four dazzling white flying swords shot out from his sword box, aligning themselves in a row and hovering high in the sky.

He activated his sword incantation, and the four white flying swords gently swayed, releasing countless white cold energies, causing a great deal of white ice shards to appear in the void.

The four white flying swords suddenly trembled, and countless white sword qi swept out like a white torrent, rushing directly towards the azure sea.

With a thunderous roar and surging waves of energy, the dense white sword qi pierced the azure sea, riddling it with countless holes. As much of the white sword qi dissipated, the azure sea consequently froze.

The Wang family disciples covered each other, retreating in an orderly fashion.

" 'You killed people from our Heavenly Secret Sect, and now you want to run? Don't you think it's a bit late?' " A cold female voice drifted from the horizon.

A streak of golden escape light appeared swiftly on the distant horizon.

Wang Lihe's spiritual sense detected eight Void Refinement cultivators flying towards their location.

A wise man knows when to retreat; with their family's reinforcements not yet arrived, staying would easily lead to complete annihilation. It was better to temporarily retreat, preserve their strength, and then attack the Forbidden God Stone mine once their family's reinforcements caught up.

" 'Retreat! Retreat immediately!' " Wang Lihe commanded, his voice echoing across a thousand miles.

He seemed to sense something and looked up towards the sky.

An entirely yellow giant python automaton drilled out from underground. The automaton was hundreds of zhang long, its body covered in yellow spiritual patterns, emitting astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations.

A loud dragon roar echoed to the heavens, and a shimmering golden bone flood dragon appeared high in the sky. Its body was covered in profound spiritual patterns, and its eyes were hollow, clearly indicating it was a sixth-tier automaton beast.

This golden flood dragon automaton was the Heavenly Secret Sect's treasured artifact, forged from the skeleton of a sixth-tier mid-grade flood dragon. It was also an item left behind by the Heavenly Secret Sect's founding ancestor.

Just as the young woman in the red dress was about to cast a spell to defend herself, another loud male shout rang out. The young woman's face twisted in pain, and she became dizzy.

Seizing this opportunity, the blue rainbow's escape light intensified, rapidly closing the distance to the young woman in the red dress.

The young woman in the red dress flew out of the crimson sea of flames, her face pale and her eyes filled with terror.

Wang Lihe chanted an incantation, and the Sky-Reaching Giant Sword transformed into a blue rainbow, soaring directly towards the young woman in the red dress.

A thousand zhang, eight hundred zhang, five hundred zhang, three hundred zhang...

When the blue rainbow neared the young woman in the red dress, just a hundred zhang away, its speed slowed, then it came to a halt, revealing itself as a colossal, misty blue Sky-Reaching Giant Sword.
