Chapter 4913: The Power of the Five Spirit Pearls

The massive black palm, with overwhelming momentum, shot straight towards the circular sword formation.

Chen Ying and the two others frowned deeply, simultaneously forming hand seals. The circular sword formation instantly burst forth with dazzling spiritual light. Nineteen flying swords merged into one, transforming into an enormous three-colored flying sword that slashed towards the black palm.

With a thunderous roar, the black palm was cleaved in two by the colossal sword. A bloody halo swept out, passing over the colossal sword. The spiritual light of the colossal sword dimmed, and it began to waver precariously.

"The Law of Blood! A combined attack!" Chen Ying exclaimed in surprise. If she had known it was the Law of Blood, she would never have used her natal flying sword to confront it. Ye Haitang could unleash a combined attack by herself? That was too strange.

"Let them witness a true combined attack!" Chen Ying declared, her right hand glowing with golden light. She slashed at the void opposite them, and a golden sword ray swept out, heading straight for the opponents. Chen Lei's and Yang Yan's palms glowed with yellow and red light respectively. Simultaneously, they slashed at the void, releasing a yellow sword ray and a red sword ray. The three sword rays merged into one, rushing towards Wang Yingjie and Ye Haitang. The three of them had mastered combined attack techniques; this was their greatest trump card.

Wherever the three-colored sword ray passed, the ground collapsed, fierce flames ignited, and the void tore open, creating a terrifying display of power. At the same time, the colossal sword shot straight towards Wang Yingjie. Ye Haitang possessed a high-grade immortal artifact, but Wang Yingjie might not!

A five-colored halo emanated from Wang Yingjie's body. Simultaneously, a mass of five-colored spiritual light surged from his right fist, and he unleashed a punch. A massive five-colored fist flashed out to meet the three-colored sword ray. He had opened eight apertures and mastered eight types of law power, while the three-colored sword ray only represented three types of law power.

The massive five-colored fist collided with the three-colored sword ray. The latter instantly disintegrated like dregs, and the five-colored fist continued its path towards Chen Ying and the two others. The colossal sword clashed with the five-colored halo, slowing down. However, the sword light quickly intensified, and the five-colored halo shattered instantly.

Wang Yingjie vanished into the ground. The colossal sword struck the earth, tearing it open and creating a massive fissure. A bloody halo swept over, rapidly passing the colossal sword. The colossal sword emitted a puff of green smoke, its spiritual luster dimming. A black ghostly claw appeared and seized the colossal sword.

"He burrowed underground to get here," Chen Lei said with a frown. They had not cultivated to become peak true spirits, and if Wang Yingjie got close to them, they would be in trouble.

"Burrowing underground right in front of us? You're asking for death!" Chen Ying and the two others simultaneously swung their right hands, slashing towards the ground. Three sharp sword rays swept out, instantly merging into one and striking the ground.

The ground glowed with dazzling golden light, turning golden as if forged from pure gold, reflecting golden rays under the sunlight.

"The Law of Gold!" Chen Ying's delicate brows furrowed, but she didn't take it seriously. The three-colored sword ray struck the ground, emitting a muffled clang like metal striking metal, but it left not a single mark on the ground.

"Impossible! Our combined attack technique can't overcome the Law of Gold? A perfect mastery of the law?" Yang Yan's face was filled with disbelief. If Wang Yingjie had cultivated the law to perfection, he could indeed withstand their combined attack. But Wang Yingjie was only at the early Taiyi Golden Immortal stage; he couldn't be that monstrous! How could he have already mastered the law to perfection? If it wasn't perfect mastery of the law, then could it be a high-grade immortal artifact? He had no time to think further as the massive five-colored fist smashed towards them, shattering the void and creating numerous cracks.

"Another combined attack technique?" Chen Ying was filled with apprehension and doubt. Both Ye Haitang and Wang Yingjie possessed combined attack techniques? They tried to evade, but a powerful gravitational force emerged from the ground, immobilizing them.

Chen Ying hurriedly conjured a golden shield, holding it in front of her. The massive five-colored fist struck the golden shield, instantly denting it. A clear fist print was visible, and numerous cracks appeared, causing it to shatter quickly. Chen Ying felt a pang of pain; this mid-grade immortal artifact was destroyed in a single blow. Was Wang Yingjie's divine ability really that powerful?

Four multi-colored orbs flew towards them, appearing blue, red, gold, and green, seemingly corresponding to wood, fire, water, and metal, but lacking earth. Sword light intensified around the bodies of the three individuals, and a three-colored light barrier emerged, shielding them. The surface of the light barrier was adorned with flying sword patterns. The five-colored giant fist struck the three-colored light barrier, emitting a muffled thud. The three-colored light barrier swayed slightly, and countless sharp sword rays swept out, pulverizing the five-colored giant fist.

Chen Lei conjured a yellow-glowing scroll. The painting on it depicted a desert, with the words "Yellow Sand Scroll" beside it. This mid-grade immortal artifact was specifically used to trap enemies' treasures. Since the four orbs were only mid-grade immortal artifacts, trapping them wouldn't be an issue.

"Go!" Chen Lei let out a soft cry and formed a hand seal. The Yellow Sand Scroll immediately burst forth with brilliant yellow light, rapidly expanding in size and spewing a stream of yellow mist that enveloped the four multi-colored orbs. The green orb spun rapidly, emitting a dazzling green light that collided with the yellow mist. The yellow mist showed signs of dispersing. Countless yellow sand particles flew out from the Yellow Sand Scroll, condensing into a large yellow hand that seized the four orbs and drew them back into the Yellow Sand Scroll.

A look of triumph appeared on Chen Lei's face. Just as he was about to speak, the Yellow Sand Scroll began to shake violently, developing numerous cracks before splitting into pieces and becoming utterly useless. The four multi-colored orbs flew out, instantly appearing before them.

A white halo emanated from Chen Ying's right hand. The void and the ground rapidly froze, and the ice layer spread quickly. With her perfected Law of Ice, freezing the four mid-grade immortal artifacts for a moment would be no problem. The red orb spun rapidly, emitting a large swath of red mist that met the white halo. The white halo instantly disintegrated as if encountering its nemesis.

"Oh no, these are mid-grade immortal artifacts imbued with primordial spiritual treasures," Chen Ying cried out in alarm, her gut twisting with regret. Her surprise quickly turned to fear. Wang Yingjie actually possessed a set of mid-grade immortal artifacts imbued with primordial spiritual treasures. If this news got out, no Taiyi Golden Immortal would remain unmoved.

The four multi-colored orbs struck the three-colored light barrier. The light barrier shattered instantly as if made of paper, and the four orbs pierced through their heads. Their bodies went limp and fell. As their three nascent souls just left their bodies, a massive black-glowing pagoda descended from the sky. Numerous ghostly figures could be seen on its body, and a chorus of wailing ghosts could be heard. The three nascent souls looked dazed and had not yet regained consciousness when the black pagoda released a black mist, drawing them into itself.

Wang Yingjie emerged from underground, holding a yellow orb in his hand. It was precisely thanks to this yellow orb that Chen Ying and the two others, even with their combined attack technique, could not harm him. He retrieved three storage bracelets from the corpses, burned the bodies, and collected their flying swords.

"Let's go! We should leave this place first and then return to the market town," Ye Haitang said, forming a hand seal. The black pagoda rapidly shrunk and flew back into her sleeve.

They retraced their steps and left the area.
