Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.

Chapter 914 The three brothers of the Taira family

Lianjia Restaurant.

"Sickle price" does not mean "cheap"; this refers to the sickle industry in the capital.

Although it is a family business, the prices of this restaurant are still much more affordable than other restaurants of the same standard in the capital.

In addition, their uniquely brewed "Sickle Insect Wine" has a slightly cloudy liquid with a sweet aftertaste and a unique herbal aroma, making it the store's prized possession. As a result, the business has always been booming, with a constant stream of customers.

Most people don't actually know that the Lian family is actually an affiliated family of the Xiang family.

At this moment, we are in a private room by the window on the second floor.

The three Ping brothers—Ping Feng, Ping Fu, and Ping An—sat upright, their expressions showing a mixture of respect and anticipation, discussing a "business deal" concerning their future with a richly dressed young man.

"We three brothers are as steadfast as heaven and earth in our loyalty to Lord Yuwen! We hope that Young Master Xiang will give us a chance to serve you with utmost devotion!" said Ping Feng, the eldest brother, bowing deeply and adopting an extremely humble posture.

Xiang Yu was one of Yuwen Wuji's confidants and one of the first people in the capital to get on Yuwen Wuji's bandwagon.

He was slowly sipping his sickle worm wine, his eyes scrutinizing as he glanced at the three people before him.

The three Taira brothers, blood-related blood brothers, joined the Daian sect together in their early years.

Although they practice different cultivation methods, they each have their own strengths and have achieved remarkable accomplishments. What is even more remarkable is that they are proficient in a sophisticated combined attack technique.

When united, they can cross borders to slay enemies and become infamous.

In his own right, he is also an expert, capable of handling things independently.

The eldest brother, Ping Feng, wielded the "Crying and Laughing Unstoppable Staff Technique," a style that was both powerful and unparalleled, and had already made a name for himself in the martial arts world. Wherever his staff whistled, cries and wild laughter would mingle, disturbing people's minds.

The second brother, Pingfu, took an unorthodox approach to swordsmanship, his techniques being bizarre and unpredictable, almost ghostly.

He often strikes with only a few swords, yet each strike is deadly, with tricky angles that make them impossible to defend against.

Underestimating his opponent, even a stronger one could be defeated on the spot.

That was the core killing move that allowed the three of them to defeat even stronger opponents when they attacked together.

The third brother is safe and sound. His marksmanship is unparalleled, and he excels at continuous suppression.

The spear danced like a venomous dragon emerging from its cave, each move a relentless barrage that forced the opponent to retreat step by step, struggling to defend. The slightest opening would be met with a thunderous strike.

After being expelled from their sect for committing a serious crime, the three came to the capital, a place teeming with all sorts of people, to make a living. They managed to carve out a niche for themselves through their own abilities.

The advantage is that the jobs they take on nowadays are quite well paid.

The downside is that as their reputation grows, their former sects may have already taken notice of them and could send experts to "clean house" at any time.

Therefore, a strong and secure shelter has become their most pressing need.

Meanwhile, Yuwen Wuji was actively recruiting soldiers and gathering talented individuals.

Lord Yuwen, the adopted son of the Tianji Pavilion, naturally became the prime target for these desperate criminals.

Tianji Pavilion, one of the Eight Meridians!

Although Yuwen Wuji himself was of average strength, his status as the "adopted son of the Pavilion Master" was a golden signboard that could attract many experts to join him.

Xiang Yu was drawn to the resources of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion that Yuwen Wuji could access through his identity, which is why he joined Yuwen Wuji's ranks early on.

He knew that Yuwen Wuji himself was insignificant, but his status was an excellent stepping stone.

On the surface, these people naturally had to respect Yuwen Wuji as their master and work together to make this "ship" bigger and stronger.

Only when the ship is large enough and the momentum is strong enough will these "crew members" have a chance to successfully reach the other side and get in touch with the true core of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

If you rush to turn your back on something before the ship is even finished, you'll only end up with the ship destroyed and everyone on board dead.

As he scrutinized the three people before him, Xiang Yu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a soft, rhythmic sound.

He had heard of the three men's reputations before.

However, he had doubts about his actual strength and whether he could truly cross borders to kill enemies as rumored.

Now that he's on Yuwen Wuji's ship, he naturally hopes that the ship will be bigger and more reliable, and that no mediocre or unworthy people will be brought on board.

It's perfectly natural to recruit powerful figures like the young masters of the Lu and Lu families, who are already renowned in the capital and whose strength is widely recognized.

But these three in front of me...

Xiang Yu's scrutinizing gaze, tinged with a hint of consideration, made the three Ping brothers nervous, their palms sweating slightly.

Joining Yuwen Wuji's ranks was of great significance to them, as it not only allowed them to realize their ambitions but also provided them with the protection of the Tianji Pavilion, freeing them from the shadow of being hunted down by their sects.

Therefore, they are determined to seize the opportunity before them.

“I need…” Xiang Yu began slowly, preparing to request an inspection of the goods.

Before he could finish speaking, his ears suddenly twitched.

The next instant, piercing screams and chaotic cries for help surged up from below the street like a tidal wave!

"Demon, a demon!?"

"A demon is committing violence in the street! Run!!"

"Oh?" Xiang Yu raised an eyebrow and looked out the window.

A ferocious, blood-red wolf shadow was seen rampaging through the bustling streets of the capital!
It was incredibly fast, knocking over vendors and flying people, yet it didn't stop at all, like a ferocious beast that had been completely enraged!

"You daring demon! Halt!"

"Stop it!"

"Don't let it get away!"

Behind the Blood Wolf, a dozen or so martial artists were in hot pursuit, but they were clearly slower and the distance between them kept widening.

"Interesting! In the capital, a place of utmost importance, demons are so brazen... Wait a minute!"

Xiang Yu's eyes narrowed, and he keenly sensed something amiss.

"This aura... doesn't seem to be purely demonic?"

Just then, the rampaging blood-red wolf shadow was finally stopped by several martial artists who had rushed over upon hearing the news!
"You audacious monster, that's enough!"

"Wait... there seems to be something strange about her? Like a demon warrior who has gone out of control?"

"Whether it's a demon or a human! How dare it run rampant in the capital! Capture it and send it to the Underworld; a great reward awaits!"

Several interceptors unleashed their auras and used their respective methods to immediately surround and attack the blood-red wolf shadow.

The once ferocious blood-red wolf shadow suddenly found itself struggling to defend itself, dodging and weary from the onslaught of several formidable opponents.

Under the pressure of the attackers, the true form of the Blood Wolf Shadow was finally revealed.

It was an extremely bizarre image; on that ferocious wolf demon body, half of a girl's human body was still preserved!
A wolf's head and a human body coexist in an unsettling way!

"As expected, he's a demon warrior!" "Judging from his appearance... his demonic transformation has probably far exceeded its limits, and he's completely out of control!"

"Alas... the tragic cycle of fate for demon warriors..."

A complex expression appeared on Xiang Yu's face. As a fellow martial artist, he couldn't help but feel a little sad about the fate of the demon martial artist who lost control.

However, just as he was sighing, something unexpected happened!

The wolf shadow, which was being besieged and in a sorry state, suddenly let out a deafening roar!

Immediately afterwards, the remaining half of the human body began to twist and deform at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Cat ears sprouted, a long tail appeared, and fine downy fur emerged on its skin... It was clearly transforming into a cat demon!
"What?!" Xiang Yu's pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes filled with undisguised shock.

"She has both wolf demon blood and cat demon blood?! What... what kind of special constitution is this? Or is there something strange about the demon bloodline within her?!"

This completely subverted his cognition!

Generally speaking, a demon warrior can only have one type of demon bloodline within his body.

The coexistence of two bloodlines will inevitably lead to violent conflict and mutual devouring. Not only will they fail to gain power enhancement, but they will also weaken the purity of their bloodlines, and may even cause their bodies to explode and die because they cannot withstand it!
After a brief moment of shock, Xiang Yu had only one thought in his mind: This woman's physique is definitely extraordinary!

Or perhaps the demonic bloodline she possesses contains unimaginable secrets! Either way, it's anything but simple!
"Surround it! Don't be intimidated by it! It has come a long way and is being pursued. It's already at its last gasp!"

One of the attackers below shouted sharply, suppressing his companions' surprise and doubt, his eyes gleaming with even greater greed.

The bounty for capturing troublemaking demon warriors or monsters in the streets of the capital and sending them to the Foolish Underworld is much higher than usual!

"Roar--!"

"Meow-!"

The wolf's howl and the cat's sharp meow rang out almost simultaneously!

Diao Xiaohui suddenly leaped forward, her speed increasing dramatically in an instant!

The attackers only saw a flash of blood before their eyes and had no time to react before the ferocious wolf head and the newly transformed cat head each bit one of them like lightning!
"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

"Help me! Help me!!"

A piercing scream tore through the sky! Diao Xiaohui suddenly swung her head, and the two people she had bitten were flung away like rag dolls, spraying large chunks of flesh and blood everywhere!
At the same time, her claws, sharp as knives, swept across the others who approached with a chilling whistling sound!

In just one exchange, the attackers had already lost two men!
Diao Xiaohui's momentum was overwhelming, and she instantly gained the upper hand!

But her target was never these small fry!

She suddenly looked up, her scarlet, violent gaze piercing through the crowd, locking onto the towering building in the distance that symbolized order and suppression.

That's... the Foolish Underworld!
The hatred and raging fury in his eyes were undisguised, almost tangible!
"Oh?" Xiangyu followed her gaze and understood.

"The target is the Underworld of Fools? Interesting..."

"grown ups!"

"Lord Xiang!"

The voices of the three Heike brothers rang out from behind Xiangyu at just the right moment.

"Our conversation has been ruined by this monster, what a disappointment! Why don't we go down and cut off its head to present to you, sir? Consider it a gift from the three of us brothers to show our loyalty?"

Xiangyu turned around and saw that the three Ping brothers all looked eager to show off.

They had clearly seen the ferocious strength that Diao Xiaohui had just displayed.

Knowing all this, yet still daring to volunteer... that courage and confidence is truly commendable.

“Okay!” Xiang Yu’s eyes flashed with a sharp light as he nodded in agreement.

"Since you have this intention, then go and test the strength of this demon. If you can capture it alive, all the better; if not... then take its head and bring its corpse to me. If you handle this matter well, I will recommend you three to Lord Yuwen!"

Upon hearing this, the three Taira brothers' eyes instantly lit up with wild joy, and they exchanged excited glances.

"Yes! I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

The three men clasped their hands in unison and agreed, their voices shaking the roof tiles.

When he looked down at the blood-red wolf-cat that was fighting with the martial artist, his eyes had completely changed, now showing the coldness and heat of a hunter locking onto its prey!

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Three figures leaped from the restaurant window like arrows released from a bow, and with a few quick movements, they rushed straight towards Diao Xiaohui with a fierce killing intent!

Meanwhile, the battle on Diao Xiaohui's side was nearing its end.

Although she was delayed for a moment by the previous interceptors, the large group of pursuers behind her caught up and surrounded her.

But at this moment, Diao Xiaohui's strength has significantly improved compared to her Blood Wolf form when she first set out on her journey!
Previously, the Blood Wolf form, which was only created for traveling, was fast enough to outrun pursuers.

Now that both forms are activated simultaneously, combining agility and power, its strength has reached new heights!

The ordinary pursuers behind her were like chickens and dogs in her eyes.

Sure enough, just as the pursuing troops behind them had taken their positions and were preparing to launch an attack.

Diao Xiaohui merely glanced coldly behind her, and the thick wolf demon's tail and the cat demon's tail, as agile as a whip, simultaneously swept backward with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air!

Both tails emerged simultaneously, like a whirlwind passing by!

The pursuers who had just arrived changed their expressions drastically and hastily raised their arms to block.

boom! boom! boom!
The wolf's tail, like a steel whip and iron pillar, contained immense power, instantly smashing several people, breaking their bones and causing them to cough up blood and fly backward!

Cat's tail, like a venomous snake, was cunning and swift, lashing out at the others, instantly tearing their skin and sending them sprawling to the ground screaming in agony!
With just one sweep of its tail, the pursuers had already lost more than half of their forces!
The survivors who had narrowly escaped the attack were stunned and speechless as they stared at the ferocious two-headed monster before them, caught between a rock and a hard place, and no one dared to take another step forward.

Diao Xiaohui withdrew her contemptuous gaze, her leg muscles tensed, and she was about to exert force to leap up again, heading straight for the Foolish Underworld.

suddenly!

A sharp killing intent attacked from the side!

A sense of foreboding washed over her, and her body moved sideways almost instinctively!
Whoosh! !

A long spear gleaming with a cold light, like a venomous dragon emerging from its cave, pierced precisely the spot where she had just stood with a piercing sound!

"He actually managed to dodge it?" Ping An, who had made the move, raised an eyebrow.

"Don't underestimate it!" Ping Feng warned in a deep voice.

"Let's finish this quickly! Otherwise, things might get complicated and attract the real experts from the Foolish Underworld!" Pingfu's eyes sharpened.

Diao Xiaohui steadied herself and looked at the three who had suddenly appeared, her expression becoming extremely solemn. The powerful aura emanating from them was far beyond what those weaklings had shown her! They were true formidable opponents!
The three Ping brothers had already spread out in perfect unison, forming a perfect triangular formation that firmly trapped Diao Xiaohui in the center! As soon as this combined attack formation was completed, an invisible pressure descended, as if space itself was locked, leaving no escape!
Diao Xiaohui immediately felt immense pressure. The wolf head and the cat head simultaneously emitted threatening growls and hisses, their fur stood on end, and their muscles tensed.

"Do it!"

Pingfeng launched the first attack!

The Crying and Laughing Unparalleled Staff Technique was unleashed, the staff shadows were like mountains, and the wailing and wild laughter disturbed people's minds, forcing Diao Xiaohui to retreat and dodge repeatedly.

Wolf Head took a blow and howled in pain. On the other side, Cat Head seized the moment when Ping Feng's old strength had just been exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated. Like a ghost, it approached and opened its sharp-toothed mouth, biting at Ping Feng's arm holding the stick with lightning speed!
