Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 143 Five Thunder Heavenly Venerable
"That man's cultivation was nearing the Great Perfection of the Dao, and he had also mastered a powerful Dao technique. My junior sister Xiao and I were only able to fight him to a standstill."

Lady Caiyu forced a smile, tears welling in her eyes, looking utterly aggrieved.

"This man is adept at spreading rumors and sowing discord. Liu Lang, he previously..."

Is this an attempt to justify Qin Shuang's earlier statement about "human medicine"?
What is human medicine?
Liu Sheng didn't know, but judging from the name, it probably wasn't anything good.

These two women are up to no good and have ulterior motives. I need to be on my guard and lest I be caught off guard.

His eyes flickered, his vigilance heightened, and he offered words of reassurance:
"I'm not stupid. How could I not know whether you're good to me or bad? Why would I be swayed by that effeminate man?"

Acting? Anyone can do that.

Tea-loving men and scumbag women are two of a kind.

Afterwards, Liu Sheng spoke with the two women for a while, then made an excuse that he had something to discuss with Lao Qing. Despite their repeated attempts to persuade him to stay, he left Hehuan Cave and headed straight for Black Wind Mountain.

He is fishing!

Half an hour later, he looked up in a wooded area, a hint of regret on his face.

Why didn't the hermaphrodite follow them?

What a surprise!

Pity……

He shook his head, composed himself, and set off to find Lao Qing.

For this simulation, he chose the white-faced black spider as his avatar.

It's not that the Azure Scale Serpent is bad, but rather that his spider incarnation talent is something he needs to strengthen more right now.

Based on the experience of other incarnations who have been upgraded to demons, the fourth talent can be effective for Qi cultivators or demons.

And this is exactly what he urgently needs.

After leaving Black Wind Mountain, he transformed into a bluebird and flew towards Shanyang County.

As they approached the city gate, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the clouds and crashed into a spot in the city!

His eyesight was astonishing, and he clearly saw that the lightning was drawn by a figure and struck a somewhat familiar one.

"boom!"

Thunder roared, a silver snake unleashed a shockwave, and arcs of electricity leaped, destroying all houses, pavilions, and trees.

The ground shattered, and large pieces of broken brick flew out. Many nearby residents had no time to dodge and were killed by the shockwave and electric arcs.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, mixed with a strong burnt smell that made one want to vomit.

Liu Sheng felt a sharp pain in his head, as if he had been struck by a heavy blow, and fell from mid-air, getting a mouthful of mud.

"what's the situation?"

He transformed back into his original form, shook his head, and seemed somewhat confused.

But he soon realized it.

A ghost!

The Azure Crane Ghost is gone!

Connecting him to that wisp of thought between him and the Azure Crane Ghost...

Disappeared!
What happened? Is Lao Qing gone, or did he break free?

This is a talent enhanced by the tiger incarnation!
With a thought, he summoned the panel and saw that after the "Controlling the Ghost" talent, it was "Ghost 1/3".

Following Qi Cheng'an's ghost, Qinghe's ghost also disappeared.

what's the situation?
This threw his plan into disarray!
Who did it?
He regained his footing, activated his "Standing on the Ground" talent, absorbed the earth's energy, and quickly recovered.

Just then, a loud crane's cry rang out from the city.

Sword energy soared into the sky, and yellow clouds rose, resembling a giant yellow crane spreading its wings to clash with thunder and lightning.

It is another Qi Refiner from the Five Crane Sect, Elder Yellow Crane!
"Boom boom boom~"

In mid-air, thunder roared, the yellow glow flickered, the wind howled, and the air surged.

Visible ripples burst through the air, spreading outwards and destroying everything in their path, extinguishing all life.

"Lei Zhong——!"

The next moment, a scream rang out from the lightning, the yellow mist dissipated, and a figure fled in a sorry state.

Blood splattered everywhere, scorching the ground with numerous, dense craters upon impact.

Huang He was defeated in just one or two moves?!

Lei Zhong first killed Qinghe's accomplice, then defeated Huanghe, and both victories were swift!

Who is this person? Liu Sheng stopped in his tracks, a solemn expression on his face.

At this point, going to Shanyang County would be extremely unwise.

Wait a minute, the name Lei Zhong sounds so familiar...

Is he Lei Zhong, one of the thirty-six leaders of the White Lotus Sect, also known as "Five Thunder Heavenly Venerable"?
He recalled that when he helped Du Bingyan heal her emotional wounds and then forced his way into the Demon Suppression Bureau, he had heard that particularly annoying old monk mention this person.

The four-horned sheep demon that he and Du Bingyan killed was Lei Zhong's mount.

When this person was mentioned, all the Qi cultivators present frowned and were filled with apprehension.

He was somewhat dismissive at the time, but then the facts told him that the gap between different Qi cultivators was quite large.

The Azure Crane Ghost possessed only 70% of its former strength, placing it at the bottom among Qi Refiners, equivalent to a quasi-Qi Refiner, and it was instantly killed in one move.

Elder Huang He was only at the beginner level of Foundation Establishment, not even at the minor level of mastery, and was quickly defeated in two moves.

Even if it were Liu himself, even if he transformed into an incarnation, he might not be able to defeat this "Five Thunder Heavenly Venerable".

Therefore, it's best to stay on the sidelines and watch the show.

After all, there are many Qi Refiners in the city. If one-on-one fights don't work, a group fight can at least... right?

really--

"Lei Zhong, stop your arrogance!"

A loud shout rang out in the city, shocking for miles around. A radiant Buddhist light rose up, peaceful and dazzling, colliding violently with thunder and lightning.

It's Monk Deyun from Fuhu Temple!
"Lei Zhong, you traitor, how dare you show your face, deceiving the court into believing there's no one to call your name? Surrender now!"

A loud cry like an elephant pierced the sky, and a huge fist shadow suddenly appeared in mid-air, like a giant elephant trampling, and struck.

It's General Xie Bao, the Demon Subduer!
Immediately afterwards, terrifying auras rose from all directions of the city, including the southeast, northwest, and northeast, with sword lights and knife shadows striking the imposing figure wreathed in lightning.

In an instant, light and shadow appeared and disappeared, ripples surged and waves roared.

The entire Shanyang County town shook violently, the ground cracked and houses collapsed, and even the city walls collapsed in many places, as if they were about to be torn apart.

Countless civilians have died or been injured!

"Luckily, I moved Grandma and the others out beforehand, otherwise..."

Liu Sheng took a deep breath, feeling lingering fear, but secretly relieved.

Ordinary people are to Qi cultivators as ants are to elephants; even the aftershocks from several miles away cannot withstand them.

After this battle, Shanyang County will probably...

no longer exists!

"boom!"

Another earth-shattering roar followed.

Various colored lights exploded, and a white wave of air shot into the sky, piercing through the clouds.

Five bolts of lightning, each as thick as a water bucket, suddenly descended, striking the Buddha's light, sword energy, fiery glow, and fist shadows.

Like an ancient thunder god, awakening from slumber, wielding thunder as a blade, striking down the world with lightning and punishing humanity.

The electric light was magnificent and dazzling, turning large areas into bright white, making it impossible to look directly at it.

The big sound is loud, the elephant is invisible.

In an instant, the entire world fell silent, without a sound.

Then, with a deafening roar, the earth shook, sand and stones flew, and the sun was obscured.

It's like a natural disaster has struck!

Gan!
Is this still human power?

Indeed, although Qi cultivators and humans may look the same, their life levels are completely different!
Liu Sheng stood firmly on his feet, as if rooted to the ground, only glancing at the cracked rocks beside him with a deep look in his eyes.

It's still nearly 20 miles from here to Shanyang County!
A moment later, the sandstorm subsided, the dust settled, and the ruins of Shanyang County were clearly visible.

The Qi Refining cultivators who had fought had long since disappeared, leaving behind a scene of devastation.

The Azure Crane Ghost is gone, so going to Shanyang County is pointless, but...

He hesitated for a moment, then took out a talisman for escaping into the earth.

The old nun had also intervened earlier; even if she wasn't injured, she still needed to recover her breathing and replenish her inner energy.

Perfect timing, I'll take this opportunity to go and ask Bingyan's wife.

A day apart feels like three autumns!
