Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 165 Blood Fierce Leopard vs. Thunder Bull, Yin Wind vs. Mad Lightning
"Brother Niu, is there anything else you need? We still have a long way to go."

Xie Bao frowned, his tone somewhat unfriendly.

Everyone says oxen are stupid, their heads full of muscles, but this silver-horned thunder ox is quite cunning.

Hopefully, they won't make any more unreasonable demands, otherwise...

"Are you... threatening me?"

The bull demon's nostrils flared, spewing out thick white mist; lightning flickered in its eyes, and the electric light around its body intensified.

"Moo!"

It roared, and several bolts of lightning struck the sky, landing on the mountain ridge and in the forest, instantly shattering rocks and setting trees ablaze.

The scale of the attack was intimidating.

But it immediately withdrew its imposing aura, glanced at the crowd resentfully, and muttered:
"Add another twenty great monsters, making a total of thirty monsters."

In the eyes of demons, true form martial artists of the human race are great monsters, and internal organ martial artists are monsters.

The additional condition for this bull demon is that, in addition to the members of the Hehuan Sect, twenty True Form Martial Masters and thirty Visceral Martial Masters must remain.

This is equivalent to dividing up 30-40% of the remaining wandering martial arts practitioners.

"no!"

Xie Bao refused without hesitation.

Selling three Qi Refining cultivators from the Hehuan Sect was already the limit.

This was because he received a secret report that Qin Shuang, Xiao Yan, and the Prince of Jin's mansion were colluding.

Qin Shuang is incredibly powerful. If we can use the bull demon to eliminate him and Xiao Yan, even if we have to sacrifice Lady Caiyu, it would be a two-for-one trade.

Make big!
Afterwards, he could still provide an explanation, preventing the morale from wavering.

But if we betray so many wandering martial artists, and that bull demon sees through our tricks and becomes even more greedy, that would be bad.

Therefore, refusal is actually a concession.

His bottom line is ten people.

In the end, the human and the demon reached an agreement that barely met Xie Bao's bottom line.

During the process, Abbess Jingyue, Chixiazi, and others seemed to have objections, but after Xie Bao's explanation of "transmitting his voice into a secret place," they finally accepted the result.

Indeed, the reputation of the Hehuan Sect itself is not good.

Those of them who were upright had long been disgusted by this.

If there is a plausible excuse, they will not interfere.

Besides, if those three Qi Refiners can't win, wouldn't they at least run away?

At worst, we'll be late and won't be able to enter the Qingyuan Cave ruins.

Whose fault is that?

After all, this monster said it was a personal grudge!
Therefore, everything in people's hearts is based on calculation.

Even monks and nuns who practice vegetarianism and chant Buddhist scriptures are not immune to worldly desires, and in some cases... their attachments are even deeper!
To Xie Bao and the others' surprise, not a single person from the Hehuan Sect spoke from beginning to end.

It seems they've given up the struggle and accepted this outcome?

How strange!
"Let's go, let's go, what's there to see!"

At this moment, Abbess Jingyue spoke, her prayer beads clicking rapidly, her face full of impatience:
"Both monsters and vile people are no good. It would be best if they all perished together, all of them dead!"

Du Bingyan frowned, glanced deeply at the Hehuan Sect, and then turned to follow her master.

Have a good death!
Soon, the others left.

In the forest, only a single iron carriage and the disciples of the Hehuan Sect who were escorting it remained.

And ten terrified wandering martial arts practitioners.

"Zi~"

Just then, arcs of electricity burst from the bull demon's body, and a phantom streaked across the air.

The enormous creature landed lightly in front of them, crushing large swathes of trees and scorching the ground.

In an instant, the rocks cracked and the ground caved in, footsteps approached, accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of electric arcs and sparks.

Before anyone could react, a sudden gust of wind arose, and lightning bolts fell like a waterfall, covering an area of ​​hundreds of feet!
"boom!"

"Boom!"

"Zizzizi~"

In an instant, the forest was brightly lit, wood chips flew everywhere, screams rose one after another, and the air was filled with a strong smell of burning.

When the dust settled, all that remained of the scene was charred blackness.

Trees turned to charcoal, mud turned to pottery, corpses were charred beyond recognition, and cart frames were scattered all over the ground. "Moo!"

A smug glint flashed in the bull demon's eyes. With a single inhale, the charred remains scattered on the ground were swept up by the demonic wind and fell into its gaping maw. With a few crunches, it was chewed up and swallowed.

Only then did it slowly turn its head, its eyes reflecting a burly man in a black robe with a red face.

He was nine feet tall, with broad shoulders and a powerful build. His eyes were dark gold, and his body was as strong as if it had been cast in steel, exuding explosive power.

He held a dark red longsword over seven feet long in his hand, exuding an eerie, bloodthirsty aura and a murderous aura that soared to the heavens.

It was clearly a tiger in human form!
Following closely behind was the ghost Qin Shuang.

One on the left and one on the right, like ants, they blocked the way in front of the Silver Horned Thunder Bull.

About ten feet behind them were Liu Sheng, whose expression was grim, and Caiyu, whose figure had become much weaker.

As for the carriage of the Hehuan Sect, as well as Xie Yuan and other disciples, they all died in the previous thunderstorm.

This bull demon is ridiculously strong!

Lightning attacks are so fast that they occur almost instantly, making them impossible to defend against.

Moreover, this monster is extremely cunning and likes to ambush!

If it weren't for the ghost Caiyu's selfless rescue, he would have been seriously injured, if not killed.

The main force in this battle should be the incarnation of the Golden-Eyed Bloodthirsty Leopard.

Fortunately, a huge sum of money was spent to bring it into the real world before setting off; otherwise, it would have had to escape today.

Since this bull demon is so powerful, then...

A wise man does not stand under a formidable wall; he should retreat first.
Liu Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and the ghostly jade turned into gray mist, entered his eyes, and then ran away without looking back.

Under the same level, demons have always been stronger than Qi cultivators.

Because their bloodline is stronger, their physique is more robust, and their bloodline sorcery is impossible to defend against.

Of course, what distinguishes humans from demons is their ability to use tools.

People can wear armor, wield spiritual weapons, use talismans, ingest elixirs, and even form formations with multiple people.

It's enough to make up for any inherent shortcomings!

Of course, there are also those with exceptional talent who can fight one-on-one and even brutally kill monsters of the same level.

But those are extremely rare, the cream of the crop, the pinnacle of talent.

Ironically, the Golden-Eyed Blood Leopard possesses the bloodline of the Qiongqi, although its composition is somewhat mixed, it is indeed a descendant of one of the Ten Ancient Fiends!
In the world of monsters, this level of bloodline would be considered T1.

Fighting the Silver Horned Thunder Bull, which possesses the bloodline of the Kui Bull, should be a 50/50 chance. Even if it loses, it should still be able to fight to a 40/60 chance.

With Qin Shuang, a minor Taoist master, by his side, the odds of winning should be around 70%.

"I will first hide in the shadows and observe the battle. At the crucial moment, I will transform into a demon and launch a sneak attack to deliver a fatal blow."

Several miles away, Liu Sheng stopped and, after some deliberation, calmed down completely.

Xie Bao's supposedly calculated scheme actually benefited him.

Fewer people are better; fewer people allow for more freedom to operate.

The only concern is that those people might be hiding in the distance and spying.

Moreover, the bull demon's strength was beyond his expectations...

"boom!"

Just then, a bolt of lightning suddenly ripped down from the distant sky, tearing through the night.

Lightning flashed and stretched for miles, like gnarled branches or dragons and snakes, falling like a net and spreading across half the night sky.

Large tracts of trees collapsed, chunks of rock broke apart and crumbled, the ground was scorched and blackened, and sand and stones flew everywhere.

Even where Liu Sheng was hiding, he was affected.

Horrible, terrifying!
Just then, a cold wind suddenly rose from the ground, like a blade scraping bone, meeting the falling thunder and lightning.

"Roar!"

In an instant, a tiger's roar soared into the sky, shocking the surrounding area for miles.

Suddenly, a crimson light appeared between heaven and earth, dazzling and alluring, radiating a powerful killing intent, as if solidified.

Liu Sheng's pupils contracted sharply, his mouth opened wide, and his pupils reflected—

A crimson figure, wielding a blood-red blade, defied the falling bolts of lightning, charging towards the Silver Horned Thunder Bull. He abruptly leaped into the air, raising his blade—

Cut it down!
