But after Zhuge Ming stopped coming, Tu Shan Ya Ya became somewhat anxious and worried, wondering every day why Zhuge Ming hadn't come to find her yet.

Tu Shan Ya Ya had many times wanted to go out and ask Zhuge Ming why he stopped coming to see her. She thought, "If you had come a few more times, I would have forgiven you."

But she held back. If you don't come looking for me, then I won't come looking for you either. This was the proud Tu Shan Ya Ya's inner thought.

"What an idiot!!" Tu Shan Ya Ya muttered under her breath.

I really don't know why she fell for this guy who always made her angry.

When it comes to love, Tu Shan Ya Ya is just like her sister, extremely awkward, or rather, both are stubbornly proud and aloof.

"You dare to get distracted in battle? Let me teach you a lesson!"

Shi Kuan didn't care what Tu Shan Ya Ya was thinking. He was now playing the villain who had "lost his mind," so Shi Kuan stepped forward and threw a punch at Tu Shan Ya Ya.

Tu Shan Ya Ya came to her senses, only to find Shi Kuan's fist already right in front of her. In her haste, she had no choice but to forcefully meet it with her own fist.

"boom!!!"

A loud sound rang out, and the ground around Tu Shan Ya Ya was forcibly pressed down several inches by Shi Kuan's powerful force, creating a large crater in front of everyone.

Tu Shan Ya Ya barely managed to catch Shi Kuan's fist with her hands crossed. Feeling the suffocating pressure coming from her arms, Tu Shan Ya Ya finally realized that there was still an insurmountable gap between herself and the Demon Emperor.

Even if she hadn't lost half of her demonic power, she probably wouldn't be a match for the Northern Mountain Demon Emperor before her.

She finally understood why Zhuge Ming had insisted on preventing her from participating in the battle against the Black Fox Queen. She was still too weak and couldn't help them at all; she would only cause them trouble.

"drink!!"

With a loud shout, Tu Shan Ya Ya unleashed a burst of deep blue demonic power, forcefully pushing Shi Kuan's fist away. She then placed her right hand behind her back and took down the Endless Wine Pot.

"Endless Wine Jug, fill it to the brim!!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya raised her neck and gulped down the Endless Wine Pot, which was taller than her.

"Hiccup~"

After drinking the wine imbued with demonic power from the pot, Tu Shan Ya Ya wiped the wine stains from the corner of her mouth, her face flushed, and let out a burp.

Behind her, nine snow-white tails stretched out, and the surrounding temperature instantly dropped by tens of degrees. The ground began to freeze around Tu Shan Ya Ya, and even some ice flowers appeared in the sky.

Shi Kuan reached out and grabbed at the snowflakes in the air, feeling the bone-chilling cold emanating from the demonic power that ignored him. His evaluation of Tu Shan Ya Ya rose to another level.

Because of her admiration for Tu Shan Hong Hong, Tu Shan Ya Ya has been imitating Tu Shan Hong Hong in battle by using brute force, but her forte is still this cold energy magic!

----------------

On the Bitter Love Tree, Zhuge Ming frowned when he saw the nine tails behind Tu Shan Ya Ya, and muttered in confusion, "Ya Ya's strength is already enough to unleash the nine tails? That's not right. With her current demon power, she shouldn't be able to unleash the nine tails."

Zhuge Ming had seen what Tu Shan Ya Ya's tail looked like after she opened it; that was when they first met.

I remember that Tu Shan Ya Ya had only opened a few tails when she was already drunk and couldn't take it anymore.

The tails behind her don't open randomly; they can only open one by one when Tu Shan Ya Ya's demon power reaches a certain level.

However, judging from Tu Shan Ya Ya's current demonic power fluctuations, she probably wouldn't be able to directly unlock nine tails, which left Zhuge Ming somewhat confused.

Things took a bit of an unexpected turn of events, and Zhuge Ming became restless. He was afraid that Tu Shan Ya Ya had used some kind of power that was harmful to her body, so he patted the ground beneath him and ran towards the battleground.

Although he wanted Shi Kuan to help Ya Ya understand his strength, all of this was based on the premise that Tu Shan Ya Ya would not get into trouble!

--------------

Looking at Tu Shan Ya Ya, who was unleashing her full demonic power, Shi Kuan put aside all his arrogance and began to use the power of heaven and earth.

Although this is not Beishan, Shi Kuan can still use the power of heaven and earth, only the amount is far less than when he was in Beishan.

Shi Kuan never underestimates the strong. He always goes all out and never holds back, which is his way of showing respect for the strong. In Shi Kuan's eyes, the current Tu Shan Ya Ya fulfills all his understanding of the strong.

So at this moment, Shi Kuan completely forgot Zhuge Ming's instructions. He was only thinking about one thing: defeat Tu Shan Ya Ya!

"drink!!"

Golden light enveloped Shi Kuan's fist, and the power of decomposition was pushed to its maximum, containing one-tenth of the power of heaven and earth from Beishan, and it slammed fiercely towards Tu Shan Ya Ya.

"Whoo~"

Tu Shan Ya Ya exhaled a chill, her eyes turning completely red. She couldn't maintain this state for long, so one move would decide the outcome!

"Freeze it!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya stretched out a finger, and an icy path stretched from her feet toward Shi Kuan.

At this moment, Tu Shan Ya Ya suddenly felt a power, a power from this world and all living beings.

After Tu Shan Hong Hong, the power of heaven and earth of Tu Shan chose Tu Shan Ya Ya!

"Ya'er, do you know why a demon emperor is so much stronger than those demon kings?"

"I don't know, is it because my older sister is amazing?"

"No, that's because the Demon Emperor can use the power of a region of heaven and earth. This power is the reason why the Demon Emperors are so powerful!"

Tu Shan Honghong's words floated into Tu Shan Ya Ya's mind. Tu Shan Ya Ya understood that this inexplicable power was the power of heaven and earth of Tu Shan. It came from Tu Shan, and even more so from her sister!

"Sister, until you return, I will protect Tushan in your place! So, I'll accept this power for now!"

After being empowered by the power of heaven and earth, Tu Shan Ya Ya's chilling aura became even more profound. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it collided with Shi Kuan's golden demonic power!

"Zzzzz~"

A sound of demonic power stalemate came from within. After using the power of heaven and earth, Tu Shan Ya Ya was actually on par with Shi Kuan!

During the stalemate, frost gradually began to form on Shi Kuan's fists, and his arms began to show signs of freezing.

However, Tu Shan Ya Ya's eyes darkened upon seeing this. She knew that she was probably going to lose again. Despite using all her strength to unleash her cold energy, she still couldn't freeze Shi Kuan. She couldn't maintain this state for long, and she was likely to be countered by Shi Kuan.

"Roar!!"

Shi Kuan let out a beast-like roar, unleashing his full demonic power. His fist shone with golden light, directly breaking through Tu Shan Ya Ya's deep blue demonic power and striking towards Tu Shan Ya Ya's petite body.

As Shi Kuan's fist gradually enlarged in Tu Shan Ya Ya's eyes, Tu Shan Ya Ya helplessly and slowly closed her eyes.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I still failed to protect Tushan."

At this moment, Zhuge Ming's smiling face seemed to reappear before Tu Shan Ya Ya.

"You idiot, you're a complete moron..."

Snapped!

A flash of silver light, and Shi Kuan's menacing fist was easily caught by a slender hand.

"Didn't I tell you to be more careful in battle? How come you're still so clueless after all these years?"

Looking at the slightly thin figure in front of her, Tu Shan Ya Ya could no longer hold back the tears of joy in her eyes. This scene was so similar to the one in the battle at the moat when he saved her!

"You idiot, thanks..."

Chapter 142 "The Performance Ends"

Seeing Zhuge Ming appear and block his attack, Shi Kuan wasn't surprised. He had already held back most of his strength; after all, the outcome was already decided, and he saw no need to further injure Tu Shan Ya Ya.

The fact that Tu Shan Ya Ya was able to fight him to this extent shows that her strength has far exceeded Shi Kuan's expectations.

"Are you alright?" Zhuge Ming turned around and smiled at Tu Shan Ya Ya.

Tu Shan Ya Ya blushed, turned her head away awkwardly, and said in a hurried tone, "No...it's nothing."

Nice!!!

Zhuge Ming was overjoyed. This must be the first time Tu Shan Ya Ya had spoken to him since the day of the duel. At this moment, Zhuge Ming felt that everything he had been tricked in Beishan was worth it.

"Ahem, Ya Ya, you should rest first and properly feel the power of heaven and earth just now. It will be of great help to improve your strength. Leave this to me."

Zhuge Ming turned his head with a calm expression, and only when he saw that Tu Shan Ya Ya was not injured did he feel relieved.

Zhuge Ming was really startled when he saw Tu Shan Ya Ya unleash her nine tails. He thought Tu Shan Ya Ya had used some kind of secret technique, but now it seems that he was overthinking it.

Zhuge Ming turned his gaze to Shi Kuan across from him, opened the Qiankun Fan, and winked at Shi Kuan.

Shi Kuan understood instantly. His demonic power contracted, and a strange black gas emerged from his body, condensing into a black fox behind him.

"That's... Black Fox?!"

"What?! So the Heavenly Lord was possessed and controlled by the Black Fox, which is why he caused such a ruckus in Tushan?"

"The Heavenly Lord is already so powerful, so why is he still being controlled by the Black Fox? Are they really that powerful?"

…………

As Tu Shan Rongrong listened to the whispers of the people and demons around her, she recalled what Zhuge Ming had said to her that day.

"Rongrong, I have a plan. I want to organize another 'Black Fox Invasion'!"

This time, the Heavenly Lord's rampage at Tushan has three benefits for Tushan:

Firstly, Shi Kuan's overwhelming power can awaken the people of Tushan, letting them know that Tushan Honghong is no longer there, Tushan has lost its backer, and if they do not work hard to develop, Tushan will be swallowed up by other demon kingdoms sooner or later.

Don't think Zhuge Ming is exaggerating. After losing Tu Shan Hong Hong, a top-tier fighter, if a demon kingdom were to attack Tu Shan at any cost, Tu Shan would absolutely not be able to withstand it in its current state.

Secondly, it can be used to allow the power of heaven and earth in Tushan, which has lost its master, to choose a new master through Shi Kuan.

After Tu Shan Hong Hong died, the power of heaven and earth in Tu Shan was in a state of being without a master. No one but Tu Shan Hong Hong could mobilize it. That's why Zhuge Ming asked Shi Kuan to fight Tu Shan Ya Ya with all his might, and preferably force Tu Shan Ya Ya to reveal her full strength.

In this way, the power of heaven and earth in Tushan might recognize Tushan Yaya and make her a force to protect Tushan.

Furthermore, through this battle, Tu Shan Ya Ya will realize just how much of a gap there is between her and the Demon Emperor level in terms of combat power, which will greatly help her future growth.

Thirdly, it serves as a warning to others. If Tushan can withstand the "out-of-mind" Destruction Lord, it will make some of those who secretly covet Tushan more or less wary and dare not easily take action against Tushan.

In this way, Tu Shan Ya Ya will face much less pressure and will have more time to grow.

As for how to make Shi Kuan cause trouble in a legitimate way, that's even simpler.

Isn't the Black Fox Lady skilled at framing others? Coincidentally, Zhuge Ming is also somewhat adept at this.

Years ago, when Zhuge Ming was hunting down the Black Fox, didn't he capture some Black Foxes and seal them inside the Qiankun Fan? Zhuge Ming thought he could use this to give the Black Fox Lady a taste of her own medicine.

They pulled out the weakest black fox, subdued it first, and brought it under control. Then they had it possess Shi Kuan's body, and finally "appeared" in everyone's sight at the appropriate time.

In this way, everyone's hatred would be drawn to the Black Fox, and Shi Kuan's attack on Tushan would become a matter of course.

After all, ever since Wang Quan Fugui captured the Black Fox and brought it back to Wang Quan Manor, everyone knows that people or demons possessed by the Black Fox are irrational.

It can only be said that Zhuge Ming made a very big move. Even Shi Kuan did not know what Zhuge Ming was trying to do. He was just acting out a play according to Zhuge Ming's script, nothing more.

Or rather, Shi Kuan actually knew, but the reason he still chose to help was firstly because Zhuge Ming had defeated him before, and Shi Kuan still had a deep impression of Zhuge Ming.
