Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 57 Lord Tiger Mountain is a real tiger!
Because Hidden Mist Mountain is located at the southernmost point of this area, it is also known as Southern Mountain by the fairies.

If you head south after leaving Misty Hidden Mountain, that area is no longer within the boundaries of the Seven Great Demon Mountains, and you'll start to see towns inhabited by humans...

This cave in Misty Mountain is called the Linked Cave. The demon king in charge is a golden leopard, and because he has a leopard's head, he is called Leopard Head.

This guy's strength is just average. According to Qing She Wuyou, his level is around thirty-one or thirty-two, just entering the Gang Sha realm. He's only just condensed Sha.

She's still far from being as good as Wuyou; she's already started trying to condense her inner energy.

However, the triangle shape is the most stable. Tiger Mountain Lord of Tiger Leaping Gorge is at level thirty-seven or thirty-eight and has already begun to condense his inner energy. He is a powerful demon king second only to the rhinoceros demon!
Its hard power is probably even stronger than Wuyou's.

However, it's hard to say what will happen in a real fight, since it also depends on things like magic items, spells, on-the-spot performance, and strategies.

Wuyou has always looked down on these reckless brutes who only know how to resort to force. In fact, she already has a contingency plan if a fight really breaks out.

On the contrary, the rhinoceros demon was indeed powerful, which was something that small tricks could not make up for.

In any case, among the seven demon mountains in the southwest region, Tiger Mountain Lord of Tiger Leap Gorge is the strongest.

Lady Green Snake, also known as Wuyou the Second, is slightly better than Leopard Head—a smokescreen for external purposes.

The Leopard Head faction was the weakest, but because they restrained each other and were relatively close to the human race, serving as a window into human society, they maintained the triangular structure.

Now, because "Tiger Mountain Lord's surprise attack destroyed the Twin Dog Caves," Tiger's ambitions have been exposed, directly breaking the balance.

For his own safety, Leopard Head was naturally the most worried, so he sent someone to find Lady Green Snake Wuyou, wanting to form an alliance with Green Snake Mountain to jointly resist Tiger Mountain Lord's invasion!
In fact, something similar had happened before. More than forty years ago, Tiger Mountain Lord tried to annex two of his neighbors.

As a result, the first battle went poorly, and Wuyou sent people to drive them back.

Before Lord Hushan could arrive in person, Wuyou sent people to find Leopard Head, and the two joined forces to fight Lord Hushan.

Ultimately, the triangular structure remains the most stable.

Therefore, whenever something happens, Leopard Head immediately seeks out Lady Green Snake for help.

……

"Damn it! How many times have I told you, it wasn't me! Those two puppies... never mind! Let's just say I did it! What are they going to do about it?"

"I was going to take down these two demonic mountains anyway, so why not do it now! Let's do it!"

"Men, get to work!"

I originally wanted to explain to Tiger Mountain Lord.

But Chen Xiuxian and Wuyou were both acting out of ulterior motives; could he possibly explain it away?

Besides, he has a criminal record, so even Leopard Head doesn't believe him!
Besides, with Tiger Mountain Lord's temper, he'll act recklessly even when he's unreasonable. Even if I explain, you won't believe me. I might as well just kill you! Go for it!
He's too hot-tempered to bother explaining!
Thus, a three-way battle ensued!
Sixty years ago, before Tiger Mountain Lord even attempted to annex his neighbor, Wuyou had already made some contingency plans.

Given that the three parties fought a war forty years ago and that friction has been frequent in recent years, Wuyou has long been prepared.

It can only be said that Chen Xiuxian was the fuse, while the powder keg had already been planted by Qing She Wuyou.

Even under Leopard Head and Tiger Mountain Lord's command, there are spies and little demons she has sent to infiltrate for decades~
If a fight broke out under these circumstances, it would be quite a spectacle!

Over three days, the two sides fought more than twenty battles, ranging from thirty to fifty small demons to three or five demon leaders leading hundreds of smaller demons in a single engagement.

Originally, the Snake and Leopard Alliance was stronger overall, while Tiger Mountain Lord's forces were more cohesive and unified in command, so the two sides should have been evenly matched.

But in reality, Tiger Mountain Lord suffered a huge loss!
Often, winning is a small victory, while losing can result in a huge loss.

If the Snake-Leopard Alliance wins, they will inevitably have to kill several of Tiger Mountain Lord's confidants and capture thirty or forty of his lesser demons for their own use.

As for the loss, most of those who died were Leopard Head's men!
Who told them to stand there dumbfounded?
Tiger Mountain Lord wasn't without a strategist; it was a black fox with 180 years of cultivation, but its strength was actually quite average. It could fight Toad Gold, one of Chen Xiuxian's subordinates, for three hundred rounds. Among the demon leaders of Tiger Leap Gorge, it could only be considered the bottom.

But the Black Fox leader was intelligent and good at flattery, so he was considered a close advisor to Lord Tiger Mountain.

He realized then that the battle had been fought in a muddled way. Whether they won or lost was another matter, but the final tally showed that their losses over three days were enormous!

However, he didn't make a fuss. His trusted subordinates had given him an idea—the other leaders always looked down on the leaders and spoke disrespectfully to them. Why not take this opportunity to reduce their strength so they wouldn't always act so arrogantly?

The Black Fox leader thought that made sense.
Although quite a few of the little demons from Tiger Leap Gorge died, they weren't under my command. My subordinates were mostly in management and support roles.
Other leaders often sidelined him, which was a good opportunity to weaken their power!

Not only did he not mention this matter, but he also took the opportunity to incite Tiger Mountain Lord, encouraging other leaders to "achieve merit and establish a career."
Good heavens! With the help of the intelligence provided by the traitor, Chen Xiuxian led his men to intercept and kill five waves of demons, including two demon leaders who were over level 20!

Of the more than 120 little demons, I killed 70 or 80 of them with my own hands, and I also killed the two demon leaders with my own magic weapons!
The Long Rainbow Sword was practically smoking from being swung around!
The sword energy, infused with magical power, flew everywhere, like a giant scythe harvester!
He also discovered that when the little demons of Green Snake Mountain under his command killed enemies, he could also get a share of the experience points, although it was only about 10% or 20%.

However, if Toad Gold personally kills an enemy, he can get more than 70% of the "experience points gained from killing the enemy himself"!

Chen Xiuxian: "I knew it! If I had to kill them all myself, I'd really become a bloodthirsty butcher once I reached the higher levels!"

That makes sense now.
There are many ways to obtain experience points!

That's nearly 9000 experience points in one go, using up half a bar of experience points!
Furthermore, I also managed to push the [“Chitu Xingmu Jue · Lianqi Pian (Blue)” to level 6/16!
气血值+300、法力+360（原来870点真气值转化了395点法力，法力直接翻倍）、+6年寿命！
还获得了4层的特效“固重”：+5臂力、+5体质、+10防御、+5土灵炁。

Putting aside the increase in arm strength and stamina, those 10 points of defense are truly amazing!

Now Chen Xiuxian has 23 points of defense. If he cuts his arm, it will leave a white mark.

A level 10 or so little fairy, wielding a broken iron sword, couldn't even break through the defense!

And those 5 points of Earth Spirit Qi!
He finally knows what this thing does!
He learned one technique, Earth Control (Green), from Wuyou, and she couldn't learn anything more. After all, she had no master and relied entirely on chance and self-realization.

However, this single second-tier spell seemed to be able to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary in Chen Xiuxian's hands!
Even with Qing She Wuyou's level 30+ magic power, it's not certain that she can control it as smoothly or with as much power as Chen Xiuxian!

He just learned it!
This is the Earth Spirit Qi, and it's only at 5 points!
Of course, Wuyou is more skilled in [Water Control Technique (Green)], completely outclassing Chen Xiuxian in this aspect.

She waved her hand and summoned seven or eight jets of water, each as thick as a water vat, which flew up and down—it's estimated that Wuyou has seven or eight points of water spirit energy.
……

Three more days passed, and Lord Tiger Mountain was getting restless.

Although he couldn't count, the demon cave was starting to feel empty, and only two of the five or six familiar demon leaders remained. This wasn't right!
This doesn't add up, does it?

Enraged, he decided to personally take action and kill the ungrateful snake demon and leopard head!
As the saying goes, "Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger," this Tiger Mountain Lord possesses an innate magical ability that can stir up a gale and unleash a large number of wind blades.

Before the fight even started, they were outmaneuvered!

First of all, the location of the battle was chosen and planned well in advance by Wuyou.

Secondly, there are three magical artifacts specifically designed to counter him!

The first item is a flag, apricot yellow in color, embroidered with talismans in bird and insect script in silver thread, and at the bottom is a furry animal tail.

This is called the "Wind-Stopping Flag (Blue)". The little tail hanging below is the tail of the Wind-Born Beast.

This treasure has no other use but can stop and calm the wind. Although its range is only three miles, it is enough.

In order to refine this treasure, Wuyou spent eight years obtaining the Wind-Stopping Talisman and the tail of the Wind-Born Beast.

Now that the flag has been raised, the howling wind that had been swirling around Tiger Mountain Lord like an invisible armor immediately dissipated.

Even the wind blades unleashed by Tiger Mountain Lord's greatsword would dissipate after flying no more than three steps.

They simply disabled his magic!

That's all the magic this tiger knows. After all, it's a remote and impoverished place, and there's nowhere else to learn it.

The second magical artifact was a steel needle, forged from meteorite iron, about the length of a finger and the thickness of a cow's hair, almost imperceptible.

This needle is called the "Body-Breaking Needle (Blue)"!
Wuyou knew that this tiger wasn't very bright, but it specialized in physical strength and had an extremely powerful defense.

Therefore, this insidious needle-shaped magic weapon was crafted. Once it enters the body, it disrupts the flow of qi and blood, destabilizes the three souls, causes the five qi to run rampant, and completely destroys the thirty to fifty points of defense that the skin and fur of the body naturally possess!
This needle was released by the traitor she had been hiding behind Tiger Leap Gorge for over sixty years. Tiger Mountain Lord was still holding a big knife, spitting and hurling threats at Green Snake Wuyou.

Suddenly I felt a chill down my spine, and then I was hit!
