Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 156 Encirclement and Kill of Qin Shuang
Summer night.

Fireflies danced among the trees, their shimmering light resembling scattered stars.

In Black Wind Mountain, towering trees and dense shrubs grow, and the mountain wind howls by, carrying a hint of chill.

Compared to the previous few days, the vegetation in the mountains is now much denser, and the mountains seem to have risen a few feet higher.

The number of wild beasts, strange creatures, spirits, and even demons inhabiting this place is increasing at a terrifying rate every day.

However, very few people know about it.

“This village… it was still here when I came two days ago, but now it has been swallowed up by the forest, leaving only ruins!”

Qin Shuang moved with incredible speed, almost touching the ground, and arrived at the outer edge of Black Wind Mountain. She suddenly stopped, looking surprised and uncertain.

Two days ago, when he was chasing Liu Sheng, he passed by this place. At that time, the forest behind the village was lush and verdant, but it had not yet shown any signs of encroaching on the village.

But after only two days, the entire village was "eaten up" by the forest!
The house's foundation was damaged by underground tree roots, and there were animal paw prints on the collapsed walls.

The villagers who originally lived here will likely face dire consequences if they do not flee in time.

Black Wind Mountain is growing and expanding at an increasingly rapid pace!

"The heavens have changed..."

Qin Shuang raised her head, gazing at the night sky, a hint of sorrow rising on her face, which was more charming than a woman's.

Many people will likely die in the future.

What a waste!

If I could squeeze them dry, they might be able to glimpse the realm beyond the Dao.

His eyes regained their clarity, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Gu Shaoshang lured him here, though the reason is unknown, but he clearly had ulterior motives.

Speaking of which, when Gu Shaoshang was down on his luck in the martial arts world, it was this person who helped him rise to prominence and earn the name "Iron Eagle".

I have always been responsive to their requests and happy to give back.

I never expected that after not seeing him for a while, he would become so disobedient...

Hehehe, that's really good!
Such a heartless person deserves to be torn to pieces.

The reason I came as promised was to take this opportunity...

Draw out the person behind him!
Let's see who's behind this!

By getting involved himself, he could lure out the mastermind and eliminate the hidden dangers.

As for Gu Shaoshang, he was nothing more than a dog that was killed casually.

I'm tired of playing it.

"It's nothing but the imperial court, and that vile woman Caiyu!"

A sinister glint flashed in Qin Shuang's eyes, and a murderous intent surged between her brows.

Perfect timing! The mountains are dark and the wind is high. Let's kill that vile woman, and once this matter is over, return to the sect and seize the position of sect leader.

If I'm lucky in the future, I might even be able to gain some merit by "following the dragon's lead".

Thinking of this, Qin Shuang stopped lingering and rushed into the mountains, moving like a ghost.

Before long, we arrived at the agreed location—

A clearing near a stream.

From afar, a tall figure could be seen standing by the water.

His facial features were sharp and cold, his eyes were green, his limbs were long and slender, and his hands were large and fan-like, but he was thin and frail, with only a thin layer of skin clinging to his skeleton.

It resembles a pair of eagle claws.

Iron Eagle, Gu Shaoshang!

When he was destitute and wandering the world, it was I who helped him and watched him rise little by little, his fame grow and his appearance become more and more dignified.

The flavor is becoming more and more wonderful.

Once I've got him, I'm going to have a good time with him!
Let him die in bliss, free from suffering, so that his years of passion for the stock market will not have been in vain.

Of course, some foreplay is still necessary.

Otherwise, it would tarnish the reputation of the Hehuan Sect as a place where everyone is a drama queen, wouldn't it?

"Gu Lang!"

Qin Shuang stopped, let out a soft cry, and like a swallow returning to its nest, nestled into Gu Shaoshang's arms:
Why did you choose to meet here?

The instant they made contact, their eyes sharpened, and their slender hand gently reached for Gu Shaoshang's throat, their voice rough and masculine:

"You disregard our years of friendship and betray me? Is it all for that vile woman Caiyu?"
Hmph, I knew you men couldn't be relied on!

What's good about her?

I have everything she has, and I also have things she doesn't have. Isn't it enough for one person to give you double the happiness?" At this moment, the ghost Gu Shaoshang only had 70% of his strength as he was in life, which was equivalent to the perfection of his internal organs. How could he be a match for Qin Shuang? He was immediately captured.

Qin Shuang stroked its cheek, her eyes darting around as she chuckled sinisterly:
"Come out, I've already arrived. What's the point of hiding any longer, Senior Sister Caiyu?"

Susu~
At this moment, the mountain wind howled, rustling the branches and leaves, making soft sounds.

A graceful figure slowly walked out.

"Caiyu...is that you?"

Qin Shuang looked up, recognized the person, and was momentarily stunned:
"Senior Sister Xiao? Why are you..."

The person who arrived was none other than Xiao Yan, much to Qin Shuang's surprise.

In that moment of distraction, a transparent spider web descended from the sky and enveloped Qin Shuang.

This hermaphrodite was indeed a master of the Dao, with keen spiritual senses. He instantly sensed something was wrong and was about to dodge when he found himself being pulled to the spot.

The Ghostly Gu Shaoshang!
It faithfully carried out Liu Sheng's orders, its body transforming into the appearance of an eagle demon, its claws gripping Qin Shuang tightly.

"you wanna die!"

A murderous intent flashed in Qin Shuang's eyes, and two different colored mists, one black and one white, rose from her chest and abdomen. Her aura was deep, obscure, and overwhelming.

With a casual touch, he pinched the top of the head of the ghost, Gu Shaoshang.

"Pfft~"

Light and mist surged, black and white shifted, and the mad ghost's head shattered instantly, its entire body turning into gray mist.

Witnessing this bizarre scene, Qin Shuang's pupils shrank sharply, and she swayed to the side, only to be caught in the falling spider web!

The moment the net fell, it predicted their prediction!
Its silk is tough and fine, no less than that of spiritual weapons, with six-colored strange light floating on it, as if it contains some kind of demonic thought, making Qin Shuang's desire burn fiercely.

Within his mind, six-colored light swirled, and all sorts of distracting thoughts surged forth, impossible to control.

One moment they're weeping bitterly, the next they're laughing out loud, then they're furious, then they're gritting their teeth, as if they've gone mad.

The black and white light mist inside his body became completely disordered, and its power was greatly reduced.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, the ghost Xiao Yan moved, appearing as if a phantom was moving, and quickly approached.

Several beams of spiritual light flew from his hand, transforming into a giant golden halberd that slashed towards Qin Shuang.

At the same time, a flower-like figure seemed to emerge from the void, its golden bell jingling, igniting a burning desire within.

Changgui Caiyu!

After it appeared, it walked alongside the ghost Xiao Yan, one in front and one behind, passing by Qin Shuang.

Like a pair of scissors—

"Crack!"

Qin Shuang had horrific wounds on her chest and back, bones shattered and flesh torn apart, even her heart and liver were split into pieces, spraying out large amounts of blood mist.

But he didn't die; instead, the intense pain helped him regain full consciousness.

"Xiao Yan! Caiyu! You two vile women..."

It opened its mouth and spat out a jet of blood, its body covered in a black and white mist that resembled thousands of tiny millstones, grinding away the spiderweb-like covering it inch by inch.

"I will definitely report back to the Prince and lead people to break through the Hehuan Sect, burn the remains of all the patriarchs, and smash the palaces and pavilions..."

Just then, a strange wind suddenly arose in the forest.

A giant spider suddenly appeared, its body surrounded by six colors of light: black, yellow, blue, red, pink, and white. Its legs moved like spears, and it swiftly stabbed down.

It was silent and odorless, as if it did not exist.

The Six Desires Puppet Spider concealed its breath and pure energy, remaining silent and stealthy, even escaping Qin Shuang's notice.

Liu Sheng has made his move!
"I will take you all—"

"puff!"

Before Qin Shuang could finish speaking, she was pierced through, the piercing going into her Baihui point and out through her Huiyin point, like a red toad strung on a skewer.

Blood splattered, pooling beneath him in a trickle.

But he was not dead yet.

A fierce glint flashed in Liu Sheng's eyes, white mist rose from beneath his feet, he transformed back into his true form, took out the Blood Demon Blade, and with a few "poof" sounds, chopped it into eight pieces.

"Whoo~"

The next moment, the body parts turned to ash.

A figure slowly solidified from the ashes.
