Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 138 Disguised Identity: Young Master Gu's Injury
"What's so strange about this person?"

Liu Sheng nodded, noting that his nickname was related to the Eagle Martial Arts.

The "Hawk Form" talent allows for rapid mastery of this type of martial art; it's worth a try.

However, Qinghe Changgui's expression earlier seemed a bit off.

Is there something fishy going on here?

"Gu Shaoshang practices a martial art called 'Eagle Claw Iron Shirt,' which is a mid-level martial art."

He possessed naturally eagle-like eyes and exceptional talent; before the age of thirty, he had already achieved mastery of his internal organs.

The Azure Crane Ghost briefly introduced the man's life, paused briefly, and then continued:
"Rumor has it that this person has a close relationship with Elder Qin Shuang of the Hehuan Sect, and he has also come to Shanyang County this time..."

Elder Qin Shuang of the Hehuan Sect?
Such a coincidence?
Liu Sheng's gaze sharpened as he recalled what Madam Caiyu had said earlier: the Hehuan Sect had sent two more Dao-level elders.

One of them is Xiao Yan, who possesses the famous "Four Seasons Jade Vortex".

The other person was an elder surnamed Qin who possessed both yin and yang bodies.

Lady Caiyu did not reveal the person's name, but the one whose name matched the one mentioned by the Azure Crane Ghost was indeed this person.

So, does that mean Gu Shaoshang is...?

Gan!
nausea!

Liu Sheng got goosebumps, and a look of disgust appeared on his face:

"No other candidates?"

"This……"

The Azure Crane Ghost thought for a moment, then shook its head:
"This person is eccentric, ruthless, and has no relatives or friends. His skills are in line with your requirements, Master."

If someone needs to take over the identity in the short term, this person is the best choice.

However, he has many enemies and a lot of trouble, and his ambiguous relationship with Elder Qin might leave loopholes.

Liu Sheng frowned but remained silent.

Flaws are easy to deal with; as long as we take down that scoundrel Elder Qin, everything will be fine...

Huh, when did someone become so impulsive, killing people at the drop of a hat?
this is not good.

Oh, a hermaphrodite troublemaker?

That's fine.

Those who practice martial arts are often hot-blooded and impulsive; killing them would be doing the people a favor.

He licked his lips and reluctantly accepted the choice.

The main issue is the tight schedule; in just two days, the various factions will hold a martial arts competition to determine the number of participants.

However, although this person is disgusting, if his crime does not warrant death, we must find another way to deal with him.

Although Liu is not a good person, he still has a bottom line as a human being.

One aspect is avoiding indiscriminate killing.

Call him hypocritical or weak, but this is his bottom line as a human being.

Or rather, it is the anchor point for him to define himself as a "human being".

"This person once took the hearts and livers of thirty-six infants to brew a 'Baby Marrow Poison Wine' to please Elder Qin."

Knowing Liu Sheng's temperament, Qinghe Changgui revealed the truth.

"To brew wine from the hearts and livers of thirty-six infants?"

Liu Sheng's breath hitched, and his eyes narrowed.

This person is not a son; he has already chosen a path to death.

He nodded, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

"Then we'll choose this person."

……

It is located 20 li south of Shanyang County.

The cliffs are verdant and towering, hundreds of feet above the ground, with an eagle's nest several feet deep.

At this moment, the two large, three small, and nestling eagles were all lying dead on the spot.

Gu Shaoshang sat cross-legged in front of the eagle's corpse, using his fingers as knives to cut it open, eating the raw flesh until his mouth was covered in blood and gore.

He was about eight feet tall, with sharp, cold features, eagle-like eyes, oily green pupils, long arms and legs, and strong bones.

His hands were as large as palm-leaf fans, but withered and thin, with only a thin layer of skin clinging to his bones.

The veins on the back of his hands bulged out like snakes, his ten fingers were thick and long with distinct knuckles, and his nails were sharp, like small daggers.

With a gentle slash, the skin is torn open and flesh is cut away.

Others sit in the eagle's nest, eating meat and drinking blood, their eagle-like eyes and wolf-like gazes exuding a fierce and menacing aura that chills the heart.

Just then, a voice came from the cliff:
"Those who eat raw meat and drink blood are beasts!"

The voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear, buzzing in Gu Shaoshang's ears.

Raw meat and blood! Beasts!

Hey, that's interesting...

Gu Shaoshang's eagle eyes gathered green light, flashing with ferocity.

With a "crunch," it bit off the eagle's head from its hand, chewed it a few times with feathers and bones, and then swallowed it.

Then, he tore off a young eagle's claw, chewed it up twice, and swallowed it.

In a full hour, the entire nest of the exotic blue-feathered eagles was consumed by him.

The ground was stained with blood, feathers were scattered, and a few scattered corpses remained in the corner.

"Tsk tsk~"

Gu Shaoshang sucked the eagle blood from his hand, his smile sinister, and said:
"I'll spare your body since you didn't disturb my meal."

His voice was rough and harsh, as if it had bristles, and his tone was fierce. He was still sitting, but his eyes rolled upwards in a strange way.

He met Liu Sheng's gaze, who was standing on the edge of the cliff looking down at him.

"I've seen far too many arrogant, burly martial arts masters."

Liu Sheng chuckled softly, then moved his feet lightly, taking one step at a time, slowly descending towards the eagle's nest.

His movements were slow and relaxed, as if he were walking on an invisible staircase, a leisurely stroll.

This is on a sheer cliff, where the mountain winds howl. If you're not careful, you could fall and be smashed to pieces.

But this person...

He's even better at pretending than I am!
Gu Shaoshang gritted his teeth, feeling resentful but his eyes were full of fear.

To see the whole leopard through a tube, one must understand the bigger picture from the smallest details.

He has diligently studied the "Eagle Claw Iron Shirt" technique for over twenty years, and has grasped its true meaning. He is an expert in it and understands perfectly what the scene before him means.

Soaring through the air!

One must master at least one Eagle-type martial art to reach its pinnacle in order to achieve this at the Martial Master level.

The pinnacle of achievement is also known as the "ultimate state".

Very few people have ever been able to do that.

For example, the top masters or grandmasters before the cataclysmic change, and the old monsters who had trained hard all their lives, were few and far between.

But the person in front of me looked young, about sixteen or seventeen years old, just a callow youth...

How can it be?

"who are you"

Gu Shaoshang stood up, his body swelling, and iron-gray eagle feathers sprouted from under the skin on his face, forehead, and neck.

Its mouth and nose protrude forward, resembling an eagle's beak; its ten fingers are bent, and its nails grow long, like iron hooks or eagle claws.

His robes ripped apart, revealing a pair of enormous iron wings!
In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a giant eagle that was two zhang tall.

The aura was fierce, and the wind was howling.

He was even stronger than Zheng Xiangzhu, who died at Liu Sheng's hands.

True Form Realm!
"Old Ghost's intelligence was inaccurate; he actually said he was at the Internal Organs Realm!"

Liu Sheng's eye twitched, and he mentally cursed.

This guy has broken through to the True Form Realm at some point, so his strength must have increased dramatically.

If his enemies still judged him by his "Internal Organs Realm" strength, they would probably die a very, very tragic death.

Fortunately, I have a deep foundation. I'm only at the True Form Realm, and I've already killed more than one or two of them.

"Who are you? I don't remember ever offending you!"

Seeing that Liu Sheng didn't speak and just kept looking him over, Gu Shaoshang awkwardly flapped his wings and couldn't help but ask again.

"I'm……"

Liu Sheng touched his face, and a series of crackling sounds came from inside his body.

When he lowered his hand, he had changed drastically—

He was eight feet tall, with sharp, cold features, eagle-like eyes, and oily green pupils.

His limbs were long and slender, his bones and muscles were strong, and his hands were thin and claw-like.

It was indeed...

"I, Gu Shaoshang, am injured!"

Liu Sheng cracked his neck, grinned at Gu Shaoshang, his hawk-like eyes flashing with a fierce and tyrannical light:
"You imposter, die!"

Before the words were even finished, the person had already sprung up, moving with incredible speed, like a hawk darting through the forest.

Suddenly, a deafening eagle's cry rang out from within the eagle's nest.

In an instant, a bloody stench arose.
