The Love of Mingya in the Fox Spirit

Looking at the towering figure before him, Zhuge Ming was speechless.

"I sensed the aura of the Heart of the North Mountain on you. You were the one who returned the Heart of the North Mountain last time, weren't you?" Shi Kuan said indifferently.

"Wow, are you a dog? Your nose is so sensitive. Even after all this time, you can still tell that I've been in contact with that thing."

At that moment, a million strange creatures seemed to gallop through Zhuge Ming's mind.

However, he did not show any panic. He raised the corners of his mouth and calmly praised, "As expected of the Heavenly Lord, you can still sense the aura of the Heart of the Northern Mountain on my body after so many years. I admire you, I admire you."

"However, since you know that I once possessed the Heart of the Northern Mountain, you must have guessed that I set up that formation back then. Why then do you still seek to fight me, a human who can also manipulate the power of a region of heaven and earth?"

Shi Kuan did not answer, but waved to Gu Yi, signaling him to step back. Gu Yi also quickly stepped back, leaving Zhuge Ming alone in front of Shi Kuan.

"You idiot, just you wait, I'll have dog meat tonight to satisfy my craving."

Seeing how quickly Zhuge Ming had backed down, many "well" characters appeared on his forehead.

Seeing Shi Kuan's increasingly imposing aura, Zhuge Ming helplessly shrugged, then his eyes sharpened.

"If that's the case, then let's do it!!"

Before he finished speaking, the ground beneath Shi Kuan's feet cracked inch by inch, and his fist instantly arrived in front of Zhuge Ming.

However, Zhuge Ming has never stopped practicing body-training methods over the years. Although his physical body is still not comparable to Shi Kuan, whose main body is stone, his nerve reaction speed has long been trained to be just as good.

Feeling the disintegrating force in Shi Kuan's fist, Zhuge Ming knew that he absolutely could not be hit by a punch, otherwise, given his physical condition, he would probably either die or be crippled.

Zhuge Ming changed his right fist into a palm, covered with a silvery-white starry river. He tilted his head to dodge Shi Kuan's probing attack, and guided Shi Kuan's fist with his right hand to deflect the force of the punch into the ground.

"boom!!"

Shi Kuan's fist slammed into Zhuge Ming's body, and the powerful force of the punch created a crater with a diameter of half a kilometer. Zhuge Ming could clearly feel that some things on the ground were directly decomposed and completely disappeared into the world the moment they made contact with Shi Kuan's fist.

Shi Kuan withdrew his fist from the ground and asked Zhuge Ming in confusion, "What kind of magic is this?"

The feeling he had just experienced was unlike anything Shi Kuan had ever encountered before; he felt as if his usually invincible fists had suddenly become uncontrollable.

Zhuge Ming shifted his stance, adopted a Tai Chi pose, and said to Shi Kuan with a smile, "Tai Chi!!"

Despite Zhuge Ming's outward appearance of treating it as a trivial matter, his arm was already starting to go numb.

"Shit, how come Shi Kuan's punch is so heavy? Why did I have to show off? I could have dodged the punch, but I had to use the Tai Chi I learned in college to show off. Now look what happened, my hand was almost crippled."

Zhuge Ming relaxed his pose, focused his mind, and took out the Qiankun Fan from his waist. One after another, array seals flew out from it.

"Phew, this is the first time I've used this formation since I gained the ability to use the power of heaven and earth. Let's see how it works! The Three Powers Formation of Heaven and Earth!!"

With a loud shout from Zhuge Ming, Shi Kuan suddenly realized that the sky, which had been clear and sunny just moments before, had suddenly darkened, and the surrounding environment had suddenly become unfamiliar.

But what shocked Shi Kuan even more was that he could no longer sense the power of the world in Beishan, as if the formation had isolated this space.

"Therefore, the Way of Heaven is established by Yin and Yang; the Way of Earth by Softness and Hardness; the Way of Humanity by Benevolence and Righteousness; combining the three powers and doubling them, the hexagrams of the Book of Changes are formed by six lines. This is what is called the Three Powers Formation of Heaven and Earth! Heavenly Lord, have you ever been defeated?"

At this moment, Zhuge Ming felt extremely good, as if he were the location and the source of good or bad fortune within this formation.

Shi Kuan was not angry after hearing Zhuge Ming's words. He suddenly grabbed the ground with both hands, easily picked up a large piece of ground, and threw it hard at Zhuge Ming.

"Goodness, a feint attack doesn't need to be this big."

Looking at the "hidden weapon" in front of him, which was comparable to a small island, Zhuge Ming was also a little dumbfounded.

"The character 'Kun' represents the Earth River Chariot!!"

With a gentle wave of the Qiankun Fan, the ground began to writhe as if it were liquid, then sprayed directly in front of Zhuge Ming and transformed back into a shield, blocking all of Shi Kuan's "hidden weapons".

Of course, Zhuge Ming didn't actually use any magic; he just thought that shouting it out in battle would make it sound more impressive.

Zhuge Ming was not the type to stand up for himself after being hit. With another wave of his Qiankun Fan, countless earth dragons emerged from the ground and attacked Shi Kuan.

Shi Kuan's tall body remained unmoved. He assumed a horse stance and threw a punch forward. Countless fist energies emanated from his fist as he met the earth dragons, and he actually blocked all of them!

Seeing this scene, Zhuge Ming seemed to see again the demon emperor at the gate of the Demon Kingdom, who only wanted to protect his beloved princess so that she could get married.

"As expected of a demon emperor, even without the power of heaven and earth, his strength is not to be underestimated."

Zhuge Ming closed the Qiankun Fan and pointed it directly at the sky. The already dark sky became even darker. Thick thunderclouds appeared above Shi Kuan's head, with streaks of furious thunder flashing within them, brewing waves of extremely powerful attacks.

“Starting today, the Dao Alliance’s strongest offensive spell will probably have to be changed.” Zhuge Ming shook his head and said with considerable pride.

The Wen family of the Dao Alliance can use their family's secret methods to summon the Nine Heavens Universal Transformation Divine Thunder for their own use. Its power is indeed strong, but how can the thunder summoned by human magic alone compare to the pure thunder summoned by the power of heaven and earth?

"boom!!"

A flash of white light, and the first bolt of lightning brewing in the thundercloud struck Shi Kuan with lightning speed. The powerful force actually caused this undefeated Northern Mountain Demon Emperor to bleed!

Shi Kuan glanced indifferently at his wound. With his physical strength, this injury was at most a superficial wound, but he knew that Zhuge Ming's attack was probably far more than that, which could be seen from the thunderclouds in the sky that had not faded at all.

"Come!!!"

Shi Kuan roared to the sky. At this moment, he was no longer the arrogant Northern Mountain Demon Emperor, but the Destruction Heavenly Lord who had once strived for greater strength to protect the princess!

Chapter Seventy-Two: Victory

"Boom boom boom!!"

A series of deafening roars echoed through the dimly lit space.

As the smoke cleared, Shi Kuan's battered body was revealed, but even so, his back remained upright, showing no signs of fatigue.

"Truly worthy of being a demon emperor, his physical attributes are terrifying!"

Zhuge Ming had lost count of how many times he had praised Shi Kuan's physical abilities. It wasn't that he was exaggerating; rather, it was because he had lost count of how many times his lightning bolts had struck Shi Kuan during their half-hour battle.

However, although this guy looked disheveled, his body was still swinging punches as if nothing had happened. This kind of superhuman endurance made Zhuge Ming envious.

However, he couldn't be envious, because humans are good at wisdom but not strength, while demons are good at strength but not wisdom. This is the law of survival in the world, which cannot be changed by human power.

"Huhuhu..."

Shi Kuan was breathing heavily, his lungs pumping like bellows. Although the injury was nothing to him, the physical exertion from punching for so long was real. Moreover, Zhuge Ming had blocked his perception of the power of the world in Beishan, which made it impossible for him to replenish his demonic power.

On the other hand, Zhuge Ming still looked relaxed and at ease, because this was the benefit of a fully mastered formation, especially a formation that could use the power of heaven and earth. It could automatically absorb the power of heaven and earth to replenish the formation's consumption, so Zhuge Ming basically didn't care about it after setting it up.

With this ebb and flow, Shi Kuan will inevitably be defeated in the long run.

Shi Kuan also realized this, so he stopped playing defensively and decided to take a gamble!

Thinking of this, Shi Kuan concentrated all the remaining demonic power into his right fist, using his body to withstand the continuous earth dragons and lightning, and took a step forward to strike Zhuge Ming.

This punch was a gamble with Shi Kuan's last dignity as a demon emperor; it was a fight to the death!

The friction between the fist and the air produced a sonic boom. Even from a distance, Zhuge Ming could feel the terrifying force of the fist. If it had hit him directly, he would probably be dead, since he didn't have the protagonist's halo like Dongfang Yuechu.

However, the Zhuge Ming of today is no longer the weakling who was ambushed by that brat Dongfang Yuechu a few years ago.

"Heavenly Lord, my Three Talents Formation is divided into three formations: Heaven, Earth, and Man. You have already seen the Heaven Formation and the Earth Formation. Do you know where my Man Formation is?"

Looking at the fist in front of him, Zhuge Ming smiled strangely, and his eyes, which had been lazy, became sharp.

"Hmm?" Shi Kuan immediately felt a sense of unease, but at this point, he was already on the verge of success and had no choice but to act.

With a thought, Zhuge Ming made the previously dark sky brighten again, and the two returned to the familiar North Mountain. At this moment, Shi Kuan could even clearly feel the presence of the power of heaven and earth!

"you wanna die!"

Shi Kuan was furious, because in his view, Zhuge Ming had deliberately given him the power of heaven and earth, which was a contempt for his strength!

Enraged, Shi Kuan completely forgot his original intention and poured all his energy into the power of heaven and earth onto his fist, which suddenly shone brightly!

"Disdain? No, Heavenly Lord, I value you very much!!"

Faced with Shi Kuan's attack, Zhuge Ming did not activate the "Close to the World" technique to dodge. Instead, he shouted and met Shi Kuan's fist head-on.

"Bang!!!!"

A huge energy surge emanated from the point of contact between the two fists.

On the city wall of Tushan, Tushan Honghong murmured, "What is this?"

Inside Wuhuang Mountain in the Southern Kingdom, Huan Du Qingtian, who was healing his wounds, suddenly opened his eyes, then slowly closed them again.

In a remote farmhouse in the Western Regions, a stray dog ​​that had been furtively watching the little girl stood up and looked towards the direction of the North Mountain.

"Mom, there's an ugly dog!"

The little girl also spotted the stray dog ​​and called out to her mother.

"Where did this stray dog ​​come from? I don't have any food here, get lost!"

The little girl's mother stormed out of the kitchen, knife in hand, startling the stray dog ​​so much that he scrambled to run away on all fours. He, the top martial arts expert of the Western Regions, certainly didn't want to become a dog meat hotpot for no reason. (Fan Yunfei: I'm a sand fox, not a dog!!!)

Also in the South, Gao Daqiang, who was pretending to be cute, felt this power, and the innocent expression on his face instantly disappeared: "Hehe, this is getting more and more interesting..."

Back in the northern mountains, Gu Yi witnessed a scene that shocked his view of demons.

"How is this possible?!" Gu Yi exclaimed in surprise.

Before his eyes appeared Zhuge Ming directly blocking a punch from his own Heavenly Lord, a punch imbued with the power of heaven and earth!

Although Shi Kuan did not speak, the disbelief in his eyes revealed his inner turmoil.

"Heavenly Lord, I've told you before, you haven't seen my human formation yet!"

Zhuge Ming flashed his pearly white teeth at Shi Kuan and said with a grin.

This is the Human Formation of the Three Talents Formation of Heaven and Earth. It uses people as the carriers of the formation to perfectly load the power of the formation into the human body, enabling them to unleash powerful combat strength at the level of a demon emperor in a short period of time.

However, every coin has two sides, and this formation is no exception. To bear the weight of this formation, one must be able to withstand its destructive power. This requires the bearer to have a sufficiently strong physique. Otherwise, the bearer will be torn to pieces the moment the formation possesses them. Even with Zhuge Ming's body having been trained for so long, he could only last for a quarter of an hour.

As the saying goes, "One should strike with full force at the first attempt, but the momentum will weaken at the second and be exhausted at the third." Shi Kuan's all-out attack was blocked. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhuge Ming increased the intensity of the formation's activation. His fist force actually overwhelmed Shi Kuan, and with one punch, he knocked Shi Kuan down, creating a large crater in the ground.

"call!"

Zhuge Ming breathed a sigh of relief and dispelled the formation within his body. He knew he had won this battle...

Over the years, he has gone from a sickly boy who was almost eaten by a small tiger demon to someone who can now defeat a demon king in the Northern Mountains. The hardships he has endured are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The dog with its mouth agape felt as if it had wasted its life, as its own lord had been defeated on its own territory by its most powerful fist!

So he decisively changed his tune, pulling out a flag with a diagram of Zhuge Liang drawn on it from who-knows-where, and waving it wildly with both hands: "Our leader is mighty! Our leader is awesome! Our leader is forever a god!!"

Chapter Seventy-Three: "Reconciliation"

"..." Looking at Gu Yi cheering from the side, Zhuge Ming fell silent. He was wondering whether to add scallions, ginger, or chili peppers tonight. (Ice@Fire#Chinese www.xbing.cc)

Shaking his head to clear his mind of these strange thoughts, Zhuge Ming turned his gaze back to Shi Kuan, who was still in the pit.
