Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 549 Breaking the Balance
Liang Jin sat cross-legged on the pile of rubble, his dragon tail slapping the ground intermittently, stirring the sand into a turbid vortex.

In the distance, the battle between the Demon King and the Sorrowful Joy intensified, with the blade light, carrying a golden Buddhist seal, spreading towards him as if it were alive.

Liang Jin's pupils contracted slightly, and the muscles beneath the scales suddenly tensed—two completely different pressures enveloped him like a noose.

"Looks like they're planning to come after me?"

Liang Jin let out a low, cold laugh, and a layer of internal energy emanated from his body, as if he were wearing an invisible suit of armor.

This is the Iron Cauldron Golden Body Technique operating at its peak.

Although it is only a Xuan-level martial art, it is very useful.

Although Liang Jin now possesses a better defensive martial art, the "Mahagala Dharma Protector Skill," he has not yet cultivated it to a sufficiently high level, so for the time being, it is not as good as using the "Iron Cauldron Golden Body Skill."

The moment Liang Jingang activated the Iron Cauldron Golden Body Technique and raised his defense to its peak, a sudden change occurred!

Master of Sorrow and Joy's robe billowed like a sail, and a thousand-petaled golden lotus bloomed from his right palm. Before the palm wind even arrived, the ground was already cracked with spiderweb-like patterns.

The Demon Slayer King's longsword, imbued with dark blade energy, traced an eerie arc in the air, forming an encirclement with the palm strike.

The two of them actually joined forces to attack Liang Jin!

Liang Jin grinned, revealing his gleaming white fangs, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes:
"I don't like it when others team up to beat me up; I'd rather watch you dogs fight each other."

He raised his thick, dragon-like arm and held it protectively in front of him.

The two men's attacks landed on Liang Jin instantly.

"boom!!!!!!"

Two world-destroying forces collided violently, and Liang Jin's massive body was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

He crashed heavily into the sand pit a hundred meters away, raising a cloud of dust that blotted out the sun. The ground tremors caused the warhorses of the spectators in the distance to kneel down, drawing everyone's attention.

When Wang Huaishuang saw this scene, her eyebrows were almost twisted into a pretzel.

She clearly hadn't expected that the joys and sorrows would turn into internal strife!

But she could only suppress her anger for the time being.

If Liang Jin is finished, then she can only rely on Bei Huan to deal with Tu Xie Wang.

Her gaze turned toward Liang Jin.

Liang Jin lay motionless in the large pit on the ground.

It wasn't that Liang Jin couldn't get up, but rather that he didn't want to.

"It hurts so much!"

"But unfortunately, I'm fine."

Liang Jin's protective inner energy was shattered, and he also suffered some minor injuries.

His current defensive capabilities have reached a terrifying level.

As long as he doesn't activate the "Overlord's Armor Removal Technique" and maintains his full defensive state, it won't be an easy task to hurt him.

Especially just now, although Bei Huan and Tu Xie Wang joined forces.

However, both of them harbored their own secrets and were wary of each other, holding back their full strength.

This also meant that although their moves seemed fierce, they were actually weak and unreliable, which allowed Liang Jin to confidently use his physical body to withstand the damage.

As Liang Jin had predicted, the damage was negligible to him.

But others don't know.

So Liang Jin simply lay still in the pit, pretending to be seriously injured, intending to retreat in order to advance.

Otherwise, if he stood up now, he would probably have to face a combined attack from the two of them.

He's alright in a one-on-one situation.

If you're facing a two-on-one situation, you'll have to rely on the war puppets for help.

However, Liang Jin did not want to expose the war puppet so quickly with so many spectators present.

far away.

The Demon Slayer King pointed his long sword at the sand pit, his murky eyes filled with suspicion:

"Such a big guy, and he can't even get up after just one thing?"

"There's probably something fishy going on here!"

“Master of Sorrow and Joy, let’s join forces and deliver another blow to him, and kill him completely first.”

"We both have an irreconcilable hatred for him. Kill him to avenge us!"

Although he verbally proclaimed that they shared a common hatred for the enemy, the Demon Slayer King's heart was already filled with murderous intent.

From the moment Bei Huan and Wang Huaishuang plotted to harm him, Tu Xie Wang had already listed them as people he had to kill today.

The Demon King also realized that he had little chance of winning against the Sorrowful Joy in a one-on-one fight.

Therefore, the Demon King must do something before Liang Jin dies.

He would launch a sneak attack on Bei Huan once the opportunity presented itself.

If he can severely injure Bei Huan, then he's guaranteed to win today.

Master Beihuan chanted Buddhist mantras softly, and a faint golden light emanated from the severed hand beneath his robe:

"Monks are compassionate and cannot kill living beings."

"We beg Your Highness to take action and kill this villain Meng Xinghun."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Slayer cursed inwardly.

He knew, of course, that Bei Huan had guessed his intentions and was on guard against him.

Immediately, the Demon King, carrying his long sword, slowly walked towards Liang Jin in the pit.

Bei Huan stood behind him, and his hands, which had been clasped together, slowly lowered.

A fine layer of sweat appeared on the forehead of the Demon Slayer King.

His attention was completely focused on what was behind him; it felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Finally, he used telepathy to whisper to Liang Jin:

"Meng Xinghun, let's work together to deal with this monk!"

"He's determined to kill you. If you don't kill him, you'll definitely regret it!"

"To show my sincerity, I may make the first move, and you may follow me."

Liang Jin was injured, greatly reducing his threat, while Bei Huan remained unharmed.

Therefore, the Demon Slayer King changed his mind and decided to experience joy and sorrow first!

In the deep pit, Liang Jin's voice also rang in the ears of the Demon Slayer King:

"Alright." Just as Tu Xie Wang was only ten steps away from Liang Jin, he suddenly spun around and swung his sword, the dark blade energy lunging at Bei Huan's throat like a venomous snake!

Master Beihuan was prepared. He unleashed his golden Buddha palm with a thunderous crash, and the shockwave from the collision of the two forces sent sand and dust flying up within a hundred feet.

After delivering his first blow, Tu Xie Wang quickly retreated, not wanting to get himself involved in the battle. He only hoped that Liang Jin would make a move to attack Bei Huan as soon as possible.

But who knows.

Liang Jin remained lying in the pit like a dead fish, only a hint of mockery flashing in his vertical pupils.

This caused Bei Huan to keep her attention focused on Tu Xie Wang, and she exchanged several more blows with him, even causing Tu Xie Wang to suffer a considerable loss.

The Demon King staggered backward, his eyes blazing with fury as he stared at Liang Jin.

He was furious and berated Liang Jin for breaking his promise, but he had no choice but to continue to win Liang Jin over to deal with the joys and sorrows together.

then.

A bizarre scene unfolded on the battlefield.

Sometimes Liang Jin joins forces with Tu Xie Wang, and sometimes Tu Xie Wang joins forces with Bei Huan.

All three parties want to destroy the other two, but they are also mutually restrained.

They sometimes form alliances, but they must always be wary of their allies.

Every seemingly steadfast alliance crumbles in an instant.

This led to an exceptionally complex battle situation.

The three fought fiercely on the battlefield, none daring to unleash their full power first, and were instead wearing each other down.

This resulted in the three experts fighting for a long time without reaching a conclusion.

Ironically, the battle outside the smoke and dust was the first to come to a conclusion.

Wang Huaishuang led a group of barbarians and finally defeated Helian Chun and his men.

The knights of the Black Dragon Dynasty were all killed, and even Helian Chun was seriously injured and lay on the ground, trampled under Wang Huaishuang's feet.

"You people of the Great Qian Dynasty... are treacherous and despicable!"

"Our emperor... will avenge us!"

Helian Chun glared angrily at Wang Huaishuang.

Despite being covered in blood and severely wounded, the Right Grand Commandant of the Black Dragon Dynasty still had an arrogant glint in his eyes.

Although the police force won, they suffered significant casualties.

Eighty percent of the spies who came this time died, and even Wang Huaishuang had several new scars on her body, especially the scar on her face that almost severed her nose.

This made Wang Huaishuang's gaze towards Helian Chun almost spit fire, because this scar was given to her by Helian Chun.

"You bastard, you're about to die and you're still being stubborn!"

"Don't worry, I'll soon send the Demon Slayer King down to join you!"

She gripped the knife tightly, and the blade easily pierced Helian Chun's throat, splattering blood like a fountain onto her pale face.

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, her gaze then turned to the smoke-filled battlefield.

She could clearly perceive the commotion on the battlefield.

"Not finished yet?"

The anger in her chest was almost bursting out of her chest.

The battle between the three masters was even more intense than she had anticipated.

This battle should have ended long ago.

If Bei Huan and Liang Jin hadn't had a conflict, then the Demon King would have died long ago.

But things have turned out this way.

Wang Huaishuang couldn't help but worry about whether this mission could be completed successfully.

"It seems that more forces need to get involved to break the balance between the three of them."

"If the balance isn't broken, they might fight for several more days without reaching a conclusion."

Once she discerned the key, she began searching for her target.

Her gaze quickly settled on the group of people from the Green Robe Pavilion.

These experts from the Green Robe Pavilion had been holed up in a corner and hadn't helped fight against the Black Dragon Dynasty.

With a hint of anger, Wang Huaishuang addressed Mr. Ding and Mu Zheluo:

"Your host is in danger, aren't you going to help?"

Mu Zheluo glanced at her, then pouted and refused to acknowledge her.

Mr. Ding clasped his hands in a respectful but not servile manner.

"We will obey the orders of the landlord."

"We will not act rashly unless ordered by the Lord."

Upon hearing this, Wang Huaishuang trembled with anger and turned her gaze to Yu Zhuoqun.

The Xuanyuan Sect elder had retreated a thousand meters away when the battle began and was now leisurely wiping his longsword.

"Elder Yu, please—"

Wang Huaishuang had just started speaking when Yu Zhuoqun raised his hand to interrupt her.

Yu Zhuoqun then spoke:

“Lord Wang, the battlefield of second-rank martial artists is not a place for someone like me, a third-rank martial artist, to meddle in.”

He looked up at the billowing dust, a barely perceptible schadenfreude flashing in his eyes:

"You'd better find someone else."

Yu Zhuoqun had clearly seen through Wang Huaishuang's intentions, so he directly refused.

This infuriated Wang Huaishuang, who gritted her teeth but was powerless to do anything about it.

She wanted to seek help from Shen Wanshi's retainer, only to discover that Shen Wanshi and his retainer had long since left.

Even Shen Wanshi's convoy had already fled far away and was gradually disappearing into the night.

Wang Huaishuang could only continue to watch the seemingly endless chaos, her frustration growing stronger.

But at this moment——

An unexpected incident occurred!

The balance between the three masters has finally been broken!
