Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 731 Life and Death
Chief Shang's breakthrough on the battlefield made Li Xuan nervous.

But he did not choose to stop the operation, but sent a message to comfort everyone:
"Continue. Manager Shang's Mirror Flower and Water Moon has not stopped. I can continue to maintain it by transmitting Yin and Yang Qi."

"If the evil dragon awakens from its slumber, everyone should be prepared to evacuate at any time."

Seeing that Li Xuan was not flustered, everyone felt relieved and continued to stick to their duties.

"It seems to be playing too big."

Li Xuan stuck out his tongue. He didn't expect Manager Shang to be so sensitive. He broke through as soon as the pressure came.

That's right, Manager Shang has been stuck at the peak of the third level for many years and has never been able to make a breakthrough.

Perhaps, Manager Shang has thought more than once that this might be the limit of his life.

After all, at this level, breakthroughs are no longer determined by hard work, but depend more on talent and opportunity.

A person with dull talents may be able to reach his or her upper limit through hard work, but he or she cannot break through his or her upper limit through hard work.

But those who can reach their own upper limits are already one in a million.

Many people work so hard throughout their lives that even reaching their own limits seems unattainable.

Laziness is rooted in everyone's nature. Ordinary people have no way to overcome it and can only go with the flow.

The occasional three minutes of enthusiasm is precious.

Hard work is the most basic talent of a genius.

It’s not that Manager Shang’s talent is not high enough, but it is just slightly inferior compared to other more dazzling geniuses.

And under various high-pressure battles during this period, Manager Shang finally took this step and moved towards a higher realm.

Li Xuan was sincerely happy for Manager Shang.

It's just that the timing is a little awkward right now.

But he had no better way, he could only do as he said and keep the illusion going as long as possible, hoping that Manager Shang could maintain it during the breakthrough process and not let the evil dragon wake up.

Otherwise, the pain of separation of will is likely to stimulate the evil dragon and make it out of control.

This delicate operation made everyone even more nervous because of the accident that happened midway.

Manager Shang's consciousness was no longer on maintaining the illusion, but was focused on his own perceptions.

Li Xuan could feel that the true energy in Manager Shang's body began to condense more.

With his body as the center, a faint aqua-blue light curtain gradually spread out, slowly enveloping everyone.

And everyone in it saw exactly the same scene.

A pair of fairy lovers snuggled together, seemingly enjoying the quiet time together.

They didn't say anything either, just sat together quietly.

There was a light mist on their faces and they were all wearing plain white robes, looking so simple and elegant.

Although the faces of the man and woman could not be seen clearly, everyone subconsciously felt that they were the Twin Saint Emperors.

It's like when you are dreaming, you know who is in the dream, but you can't see the other person's face clearly.

Everyone firmly believed that the ones appearing before them were the Twin Saint Emperors.

Perhaps, this is the evil dragon’s dream at this moment.

However, with the breakthrough of Manager Shang, this dream was reflected in the water-blue light curtain.

“If Xie Long knew that I was really not Li Chixiao, I wonder if he would be sad.”

Li Xuan said to himself and couldn't help shaking his head.

To the evil dragon, he was just a victim of this incident.

He has been sealed under the Meteorite Dragon Crater for decades and cannot escape. He is tortured by the negative emotions in his heart all the time. If it were someone else, he would have gone crazy long ago.

As the light curtain around Manager Shang expanded, although the illusion they saw was still blurry, strange emotions began to emerge in their hearts.

Feeling of missing.

An extremely strong feeling of longing is spreading rapidly like a drop of thick ink dissolving into clear water.

And from this, Li Xuan keenly sensed the deep hidden confusion.

"Is this the emotion of an evil dragon?"

Li Xuan frowned.

This emotion is too strong. If it continues, it will probably affect everyone.

Especially Li Xuan, Princess Yan Zhao and Long Xiaofeng.

As the scalpels used in this operation, they cannot afford any mistakes, otherwise today's operation will most likely end in failure.

"No, I have to think of a way."

Li Xuan frowned and immediately called out to Princess Yan Zhao and Long Xiaofeng, asking them to perform the surgery first.

Then, he divided his mind and used the Yin and Yang Qi to maintain the illusion, while secretly using his own method of reincarnation to speed up the promotion process for Manager Shang.

He first created a suitable environment for Shang Zongguan to break through, stimulating the surrounding gold and water-attributed energy.

Finally, Li Xuan separated a portion of the Yin and Yang Qi that was originally introduced into Shang Zongguan's body to maintain the Mirror Flowers and Water Moon, and put it into his Qi circulation.

“Although I haven’t tried it before, with the help of Yin and Yang Qi, Manager Shang’s breakthrough should be smoother.”

Li Xuan thought to himself.

It's just that he now has to multitask and feels the pressure has doubled.

But fortunately, Manager Shang has accumulated a lot of experience and has a solid foundation, so he doesn't have any other obstacles.

With the help of Li Xuan's Yin-Yang Qi, the light curtain around Manager Shang became more and more solid, almost condensing into a solid.

The light curtain slowly fell and settled under their feet.

Then, the light curtain slowly turned into substance from under the feet of Manager Shang, just like water freezing into ice, like a smooth mirror.

“It’s the Dao Realm!”

Everyone present was shocked, fearing that this state of mind would have control over them as well.

But fortunately, this did not happen. Instead, the images of the two holy emperors fell into the mirror world under their feet.

"Shang Zongguan's Dao realm is a mirror?"

Li Xuan was surprised and stepped on it with his foot, and it felt like a real thing.

Obviously, this mirror is real and not an illusion.

As time goes by, the mirror surface completely turns into substance.

That’s not all, more details began to appear on the mirror.

Delicate ripples appeared on the edges, and the mirrored image shook from time to time, like the surface of water.

Manager Shang controlled his own Dao realm, otherwise they would definitely be affected by the illusion.

Li Xuan noticed that the true energy in Manager Shang's body had been completely renewed and had undergone a significant qualitative change.

When the details of the water mirror under his feet were completely perfected, Manager Shang slowly opened his eyes.

There seemed to be a vast sea of ​​smoke in his eyes, making it difficult to see clearly, as if one was in a fog.

Staring into Manager Shang's eyes, his consciousness began to wander uncontrollably.

Li Xuan frowned and suddenly woke up.

At this time, the strange vision in Manager Shang's eyes gradually disappeared, and finally returned to its normal state.

"Ah Xuan, thank you very much."

Manager Shang first thanked Li Xuan.

Then, the water mirror under his feet sank into the ground, like a pool of water melting into the earth, leaving only a wet mark.

At the same time, the evil dragon's breathing became even steadier.

The strong feeling of longing they had felt before disappeared.

"The evil dragon seems to be sleeping more soundly."

Li Xuan looked at the evil dragon and thought to himself.

He looked at Butler Shang and saw him nodding slightly at him.

In just a short while, Li Xuan discovered that Manager Shang seemed to be ten years younger.

Not only does his posture become more upright, but his whole spirit is very different, and he looks much more refreshed.

Others also looked at Manager Shang and nodded in greeting.

Among them, many people even showed envy.

After reaching the third level, it’s one step at a time.

One step is a new world.

“It looks like Daxing will be able to prosper for decades more.”

The same thought came to everyone's mind.

Even at such an old age, Manager Shang can still meet the opportunity of breakthrough by following Li Xuan's side.

Other younger masters are naturally more jealous.

This was especially true for the Qianren Sword Pavilion, as they were the last group to come into contact with Li Xuan among all the people present, and they felt even more anxious.

"It seems that we need to get closer to Daxing and let the younger generation of the sect communicate more with Master Xuan."

Long Xiaofeng thought to himself, but immediately retracted his mind and focused on the matter at hand.

As long as he can successfully separate the evil dragon's will from the dragon vein, he will have made a great contribution this time.

After this period of contact, Long Xiaofeng has already understood that Li Xuan is a man of great loyalty and righteousness, and he cares about the common people.

This is in line with the beliefs of their Qianren Sword Pavilion.

"It seems that Master Xuan and my Qianren Sword Pavilion are destined to be together."

Long Xiaofeng thought so, and so did the others.

Not to mention that Nilubaier had already succumbed to Li Xuan's charm, even Zhenyi, the wandering monk of Fuyun Temple, couldn't help but be tempted. "It seems that this is the abbot's intention."

"Disciple has realized it. It seems that Master Xuan and my Buddhist sect have a destiny. We will join hands to solve this troubled world!"

Several people who came from the holy land of martial arts had the same idea.

Even the other masters and Taoist priests who came from Buddhism and Taoism were similar.

Li Xuan didn't know that he was being targeted.

After he helped Chief Steward Shang to successfully break through to the second level, he immediately turned around and continued to concentrate on separating the evil dragon's will.

The operation has come to an end.

Thanks to Manager Shang's successful breakthrough, the effect of the anesthetic was instantly improved.

Now there is no need to worry about the evil dragon being awakened.

Right now, the most difficult thing is whether they can successfully separate the evil dragon's will.

While Li Xuan was busy, Princess Yan Zhao and Long Xiaofeng did not stop for a moment.

Now the connection between the evil dragon's will and the dragon vein is very weak.

Next, Li Xuan will need to complete this crucial move.

"I don't know if my willpower is enough?"

Li Xuan felt a little worried.

He carefully checked his consumption and confirmed the remaining progress.

At a cursory glance, they don't look much different.

If you're lucky, it should be just right.

But if you're unlucky...

"No, no, I am the one with destiny, it is impossible for me to have bad luck."

Li Xuan comforted himself.

But after a while, his mental power was almost exhausted.

I couldn't see it just now, but now I see that the difference is just a few insignificant points.

"What should I do!?"

Li Xuan's heart trembled, and he almost couldn't control the Wuchen Sword Technique.

Princess Yan Zhao and Long Xiaofeng beside him had already exhausted their mental power and would not be able to recover for a while.

If they had followed their previous plan, with the three of them taking turns to strike, leaving each other some time to recover, perhaps it would be just enough now.

However, due to the temporary breakthrough of Chief Steward Shang, Li Xuan had to be distracted for a while, resulting in only Princess Yan Zhao and Long Xiaofeng taking over from each other at that time.

Princess Yan Zhao and Long Xiaofeng also noticed the problem and frowned with serious expressions.

They all saw that Li Xuan's mental power was insufficient and the operation would most likely fail at the last step.

But none of them had any way to recover their power of thought, so they could only do nothing.

When the others saw Princess Yan Zhao and Long Xiaofeng’s expressions change, they knew that the situation was not good and their hearts sank.

"Can't you?"

"Pity."

Everyone sighed in their hearts.

Long Xiaofeng had said before that the second time would probably be more difficult.

But now that things have come to this, there is nothing that can be done.

The evil dragon had already admitted defeat and even let Li Xuan do whatever he wanted with him.

After all, even if the evil dragon refused to cooperate, it would only be a matter of time before his will was wiped out.

Today's attempt was just a try for Li Xuan's sake.

Even if it didn't work out, the others didn't feel too sorry.

But Li Xuan was unwilling to give up!
"Meow, let's try it out."

"Evil Dragon, life or death depends on your fate!"

Li Xuan gritted his teeth, mobilized all the remaining power of his mind, and then mixed a large amount of yin and yang true energy, and slashed with all his strength according to the method of Wuchen Sword Art.

He had tried it before, and found that the Yin-Yang Qi could not be used as the power of thought, at least it was difficult to exert the power of the Wuchen Sword Technique.

But at this moment he really had no choice but to give it a try.

The connection between the evil dragon's will and the dragon vein has become very weak. As long as he cuts off this part, he can successfully separate the evil dragon's will.

But as the sword was slashed down, the evil dragon suddenly woke up from its sweet dream and let out a deafening cry of pain.

"It's over!"

Li Xuan secretly said "Oh no", thinking that the evil dragon was going to go crazy.

But after the evil dragon cried out in pain, the expected bad scene did not happen.

No, it should be said that the situation was worse than expected.

The evil dragon's silhouette gradually became illusory and transparent, and it seemed as if it was about to disappear.

In the past, when the evil dragon retreated to the Meteorite Crater, it did not look like this.

This scared Li Xuan a lot. He thought he had been too reckless and killed the evil dragon directly.

"Brother, you at least have the power of the Heavenly Dao Realm. You can't be so fragile, right?"

Li Xuan couldn't help but start to panic, and used his own way of reincarnation to replenish the evil dragon's extremely yin power.

But it was of no use, the evil dragon's figure gradually disappeared, and its eyes slowly dimmed.

"Hey, back to the Dragon Crater!"

"No, you can come in here!"

Li Xuan randomly stretched out the Dihong bone ring on his tail, trying to let the remaining will of the evil dragon attach to it.

But the evil dragon seemed unable to react. It closed its eyes weakly and finally disappeared completely.

"This……"

Manager Shang put away his Dao Realm, and the formation that was originally being maintained also stopped.

Several people looked at each other, they didn't expect the final result would be like this.

Li Xuan lowered his tail in disappointment, and the evil dragon's aura no longer existed in his perception.

“Failed…?”

Li Xuan couldn't help but regret his recklessness.

If he waits a little longer, until he perfects the Wuchen Sword Technique, there might be a higher chance of success.

But now...

"Ah Xuan, you tried your best."

Manager Shang stepped forward, squatted down, and comforted Li Xuan.

"It was my breakthrough at the last minute that disrupted the original plan."

"The evil dragon also agreed to your proposal. He was doomed to die. You gave him one more chance. You don't owe him anything."

Li Xuan opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

He still felt regretful.

Li Xuan admitted that after understanding the whole story, he felt that the evil dragon was quite pitiful.

Looking for someone you will never find.

What an unacceptable fate.

"Ugh--"

Li Xuan sighed.

Everyone noticed Li Xuan's disappointment.

Princess Yan Zhao also squatted on the other side of Li Xuan, reached out and touched his head, and comforted him:

"Life and death are determined by fate. At least he finally found the person he was looking for."

Princess Yan Zhao was referring to the evil dragon's dream.

Li Xuan nodded and forced a smile.

He was about to thank everyone for their comfort when he suddenly felt his tail twitch.

The next moment, there was a loud bang, and countless stones flew out from Li Xuan's tail.

These stones were obviously carefully selected. Each one was about the size of a Go piece, and when piled together they formed a small hill.

Seeing this scene, Shang Zongguan couldn't help but twitch his eyes and advised Li Xuan:
"Ah Xuan, this is at least..."

Seeing that there were outsiders present, Manager Shang did not elaborate on the origin of the Emperor Hong Bone Ring, but continued:

"How do you hold the rocks?"

Li Xuan didn't bother to listen to what Manager Shang said, but instead looked carefully at the Emperor Hong bone ring on his tail.

He did use a small space in the Dihong Bone Ring to store the hidden weapons used by Princess Ankang.

But how come it all poured out now?

Over such a long period of time, the Emperor Hong Bone Ring has never had this kind of problem.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan's heartbeat quickened a bit.

He brought the Emperor Hong Bone Ring close to his eyes, but before he had time to take a closer look, he heard a familiar voice:

"You almost killed me..."
