Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 717 Stabbing the Tiger!

"You've actually reached the Inner Palace Realm?!"

The Serpent Hunting Woman gasped in surprise. She remembered that when she met Shang Lu at Pingdu Mountain, his cultivation had only just entered the Zhou Tian Realm. How long had it been? He had actually broken through from the Zhou Tian Realm all the way to the Inner Palace Realm?!
Although Zishu Xunshou had boasted to her more than once that Shanglu had great fortune, how could such a thing be achieved simply through good fortune? Clearly, she was favored by the gods!

Otherwise, the Snake Hunting would really not be able to figure out how Shang Lu could have made such rapid progress in his cultivation in just one or two years!
She cultivated for decades and had various fortuitous encounters to achieve this level of cultivation.

Gongshu Ling was equally shocked—if she still had a heart.

Compared to the Snake's patrol, Gongshu Ling had a better understanding of the pokeweed.

She clearly remembered that when they escaped from Chu, Shang Lu's cultivation level was still at the Tongtian Realm.

In just a few months, his cultivation level broke through two realms, and he stepped into the Inner Palace Realm!
What exactly happened to him after he got separated from everyone?
At the same time, Yin Hu, who was leading the team to HSBC Building, also sensed a trace of the Inner Palace Realm aura.

But he didn't doubt it, assuming that the aura came from the Snake on its hunt.

He brought his team here today, having gathered ample clues. He knows that during the Snake's patrol, she has been secretly contacting the Witch Guard who has sneaked back to Wushan, and that she has successfully contacted many people.

However, most of those guards were at the Tongtian or Zhoutian level, with few at the Mingxin realm, let alone the Neifu realm.

Such cultivation is rare even among the Guardian Witches!

"Snake, stop hiding. Your presence has already been exposed. Come out and catch up with your old friend."

The Tiger, on its hunting expedition, roared with a ferocious laugh, its laughter booming like thunder.

He raised his hand and waved, and the wizards who came with him immediately formed a team, leading the soldiers to form a battle formation and surround the block where HSBC was located.

Then, the Tiger Tiger, during its hunt, made a hand seal and spat out a mass of white bones.

After the skeleton flew out of the mouth, it grew rapidly in the wind and instantly transformed into a shrine about half the height of a person.

It is the famous magical artifact of the Tiger's hunting expedition—the Spirit Binding Shrine!

The moment this treasure appeared, a howling wind arose, plunging the entire neighborhood, including HSBC Building, into darkness. Light, warmth, and yang energy were all shut out, making this place seem as if it had fallen into a ghostly realm.

In the darkness, countless monstrous demons revealed their hideous forms.

These evil spirits can not only harm people's physical bodies, but also corrupt their souls through their shrill screams and roars!
It is a tiger courier that Tiger Patrol spent a lot of effort to train! In terms of both strength and brutality, it far surpasses ordinary courier ghosts!

Most importantly, the cougars, combined with the yin winds, truly turned the area into a ghost realm.

In this ghostly realm, no living person can escape the watchful eyes of the Tiger!

The Tiger's patrol not only allows it to observe every move in the underworld through its thousands of tiger entourage, but also enables it to shift its form and change its location, making it impossible to defend against and leaving people with nowhere to escape.

However, now, the Snake on its hunt has no intention of fleeing.

After witnessing Shang Lu's strength, she made an instant decision—seize the opportunity and kill Yin Hu Xun Shou!
Yin Hu Xun Shou had no idea of ​​Shang Lu's strength. If she managed to restrain Yin Hu Xun Shou and then Shang Lu launched a sudden attack... it was quite possible that she could kill Yin Hu Xun Shou!
With Yin Hu dead from his hunting expedition, the people he brought with him are no longer a threat!
At that time, it would be feasible to either lead the people in the HSBC building to break through the siege or to launch another attack while the chaos was still ongoing.

Having made up her mind, the Snake Hunt did not hesitate at all. While Shang Lu and Gongshu Ling were lying in wait and making preparations, she opened the window, intending to take a further step and divert the Tiger Hunt's attention and vigilance.

Outside the HSBC building, upon seeing the Snake (巳) patrolling, the Tiger (寅) patrolling, while secretly preparing for an attack, sneered:
"Snake, you've finally shown yourself. If you surrender now, I can put in a good word for you before the King and spare your life, allowing you to atone for your crimes through meritorious service."

We have endured countless hardships to reach our current level of cultivation. Wouldn't it be a pity to die like this? Not to mention, our cultivation is all for the sake of longevity and immortality! And now, the Great King has mastered the methods of longevity and immortality. As long as you submit and perform meritorious deeds, all of this will no longer be a dream..."

To buy time for Shang Lu to hide, the Snake Patrol did not interrupt. After the Tiger Patrol finished speaking, it coldly snorted, "We have different paths, so we cannot work together. You don't need to waste your breath, and I don't want to listen to the nonsense of a dying man!"

"A dying man?" Yin Hu Xun Shou was a burly man, truly like a human tiger. When he raised his eyebrows, he bared his teeth like a tiger, scaring the surrounding ghosts into trembling.

"That's right!" the Serpent Hunting shouted coldly, his hands forming hand seals as he activated the setup inside the HSBC building. "I've revealed myself to kill you!"

Before she finished speaking, billowing witch energy erupted from her body.

The Thousand Serpent Formation hidden inside the HSBC building was immediately activated.

"boom--"

The explosion was not only deafening, but also caused people to lose their composure.

Amidst the explosions, countless witch snakes, formed from witch energy and array power, swarmed out of the HSBC building.

Amidst the surging tide of snakes, there are the Earth Snakes that emerge from the ground and lunge straight for the vital spot in the groin; there are also the Azure Phosphorus Snakes whose bodies are engulfed in eerie blue flames and ignite upon contact; and there are even the Mirror Snakes that can transform into the appearance of others and mimic their actions and techniques…

In an instant, the demon realm transformed into a snake pit!

However, facing the raging tide of witch snakes, Yin Hu and the witches he brought were not afraid at all.

"What a joke! Destroy them!"

Yin Hu Xunshou let out a sinister laugh, and the wizards who had set up their formations all took out the talismans they had prepared beforehand.

The countless flying shamanic runes coalesced into a new shamanic array, and countless beams of shamanic light shot towards the raging serpent tide.

These magical lights were surprisingly effective against the shamanic snakes that patrolled the Shangsi Snake, and in an instant, they wiped out most of the ferocious and bizarre shamanic snakes.

The remaining witch serpents not only failed to cause any trouble, but were also being rapidly eliminated.

The Tiger's laughter grew increasingly triumphant.

"Snake, we've known each other for so many years, how could I not understand your temperament and abilities? Since I've come to find you, I must have made thorough preparations."

Not to mention, someone even told me all about your arrangements!

All your tricks are useless against me! You'd better surrender now to avoid unnecessary suffering!

With a flick of his hand, a person hidden in the back of the group was forcibly dragged in front of him by the witch energy he was releasing.

"You may not be afraid of death, but the people around you don't think so," Tiger said with a sneer. In his eyes, Snake was already trapped.

He had ample patience when dealing with former comrades and friends, whether in persuading them to surrender or inflicting torture.

The guard, dragged before him by the Tiger Patrol, shrank back, looking timid and afraid to face the Snake Patrol. The Tiger Patrol snorted coldly and shouted, "What are you afraid of? They are the traitors! You are the one who has abandoned darkness for light and is redeeming yourself through meritorious service. Raise your head!"

The guard shaman was indeed jolted upright by Yin Hu's shout during his patrol.

He raised his head, looked at the Snake on patrol, and roared through gritted teeth, "Yes! I'm not wrong! I just want to live, what's wrong with that? I've suffered so much and endured so much pain to embark on the path of cultivation and have achieved my current level of cultivation. Why should I give it all up for those peasants and ordinary people? I'm not reconciled!"

"Well said." Tiger Tiger laughed menacingly. "Whether people can cultivate or not is none of our business. Snake, if you still refuse to see the truth, don't blame me for disregarding our past camaraderie."

The Snake, on patrol, said coldly, "The Tiger I knew is long dead. The one here today is nothing but a lackey of the tyrannical king!"

Then, her gaze fell on the traitorous Wei Wu: "I won't stop you from wanting wealth and glory, but you shouldn't have betrayed me and your brothers here!"

At this moment, the traitorous Wei Wu was completely desperate. He roared, "I didn't betray you! I'm redeeming myself by serving as a vanguard for the king! If I don't take down you traitors, where will my wealth and glory come from..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Snake Hunting suddenly twisted its body and rushed out of HSBC like a hurricane, heading straight for him.

A long whip, carrying a fierce sorcery aura, flew out from the sleeve of the Snake Hunting Man's robes. Like a venomous python, it instantly struck the man and pierced his forehead with a "thud."

"Uh—" The traitorous guard froze, and the rest of his words were stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

At this moment, he really wanted to question Yin Hu Xun Shou about why he didn't save him!

The Tiger Guardian had promised him he would protect his life. But now, the Tiger Guardian was right beside him, watching him being killed without doing anything.

Not only did he not make a move, but Tiger Tiger also laughed loudly, "Well done! You killed him, saving us a lot of reward money!"

The Snake Hunting, suspended in mid-air, let out a muffled groan. It pierced through the traitorous Guardian Witch's whip and immediately shot out countless sharp blades resembling snake scales. Each blade was wrapped in billowing witch energy and raging poisonous mist, whistling as it swept towards the Tiger Hunting.

"Roar--"

The Tiger on patrol opened its mouth and unleashed a thunderous roar.

This roar shook the ground all around, and the powerful force contained within it instantly knocked off or even destroyed many of the snake scales.

Countless cougars appeared amidst the tiger's roar, not only shielding the tiger from the sharp snake scales, but also welcoming the approaching snake!
At the same time, a cage-like magical artifact appeared in Yin Hu's hand, and it sucked in all the raging poisonous fog at once.

The shamans surrounding the area, leading their soldiers, unleashed their shamanic power and blood energy, drawing upon the power of the formation to suppress the serpent's hunting expedition.

"I've said it before, I know you too well. Since you've brought troops here, you must have made thorough preparations. No matter how much you struggle and resist, it's useless!"

Tiger Hunting shouted and picked up the corpse of the traitorous sorcerer, using it as a weapon, and smashed it at Snake Hunting.

In a short time, the two exchanged dozens of moves.

Due to the suppression of the surrounding witch formations, the Snake Hunting was unable to unleash its full power, and its most proficient witchcraft and curses were countered by the insect cage in the Tiger Hunting's hands, so it quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

The Tiger, however, became increasingly courageous with each battle.

The traitorous sorcerer's corpse had long been torn to shreds by the surging sorcery of the two. Now, he wielded a horse-slaying sword, its blade blazing and destroying the surrounding houses. Meanwhile, his thousands of vengeful spirits circled around the Serpent's Hunting Grounds, constantly launching sneak attacks.

Just when Tiger thought victory was assured, a strange melody, like a Nuo song, suddenly rang in his ears.

"Who? Who is playing music at this moment?!"

Tiger's brow furrowed as he suddenly sensed something was amiss.

This strange music was actually able to interfere with the flow of witch energy within his body!

The wizards and soldiers who were arranged in the formation around them were directly disturbed, causing their magical power and blood energy to become chaotic. Not only did the formation become ineffective, but they were also backfired by the power of the formation, resulting in many people being seriously injured!

Even stranger, another force seized the opportunity to sweep everyone away.

Under the influence of this force, Tiger's heart was suddenly filled with intense guilt and regret for betraying the Guardian Witch and the Great Priest. He even subconsciously wanted to stop fighting and let Snake's hunt go.

"wrong!"

Tiger, possessing the cultivation of the Inner Palace Realm, quickly recovered after a moment of mental instability and realized, "This is a treacherous technique! When did Snake acquire such methods?!"

At this moment, the Snake's patrol was completely unaffected by the strange music and the malevolent illusion. On the contrary, it was even enhanced, allowing its attacks to continue unabated, wave after wave stronger, and it actually reversed the previous decline!

The Tiger's patrol reacted swiftly, immediately about to roar again to dispel the malevolent spell and restore the sanity of those affected, including the ghosts, sorcerers, and soldiers who had fallen into illusions and were fighting amongst themselves.

However, just as Yin Hu opened his mouth, two figures appeared behind him.

A burst of firepower was unleashed, striking the wizards and soldiers who were caught in the chaos.

Another figure emerged from the horde of ghosts, brandishing his sword and charging straight at him!
The Tiger on patrol was immediately terrified.

Not only because these two people bypassed his senses and probed his presence, but also because they silently appeared behind him within the ghost realm barrier.

Furthermore, the person who swung his sword at them unleashed the aura of an Inner Palace Realm expert!
Why is there an Inner Palace Realm expert beside the Snake?! Which patrolling officer infiltrated Wushan and made contact with her?!
Tiger Hunting wanted to make a move to block Shang Lu's attack, but Snake Hunting seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, preventing him from freeing his hands.

Even so, the Tiger's patrol remained calm despite its alarm.

"Where did this scoundrel come from, daring to attack from behind!"

The tiger remained motionless during its patrol, then suddenly turned its head and let out a roar!
His tiger roar can not only shatter evil illusions, but also be transformed into a sharp weapon to severely injure the enemy!
"boom--"

The sonic waves, imbued with a fierce sorcery aura, were comparable to violent sword energy, and rushed straight towards Shang Lu!
Countless other ghosts, swept up by the sound waves, bared their fangs and claws, ready to tear the pokeweed apart and devour it!

Faced with the howling tiger demon, Shang Lu also opened his mouth.

But this time, instead of using the supernatural power of "Bashe Swallowing Elephant" to swallow this wave of roaring tiger ghosts, he spewed out a stream of lung metal energy!
"Om-"

As soon as the lung's metal energy was exhaled, it burst forth with a piercing hiss.

What was even more unexpected was that in the starry sky, some celestial phenomena were actually activated, and brilliant starlight descended, like a sharp blade slicing through the dark haze of the ghost realm, landing on the lung metal energy!
"Shh-"

The metal energy of the lungs surged sharply, like a peerless sword light, slashing towards the Tiger's hunting expedition!
