Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 230 Crane and clam fight
"boom!"

"Boom!"

On the stone platform, loud noises echoed, dust filled the air, and rocks rained down.

The two figures fought fiercely, their true energy surging and the shimmering light trembling wildly, their murderous aura chilling and terrifying.

"Gulu~"

On the edge of the island in the Weak Water, Liu Sheng raised his head, his features sharp and his eyes deep.

He gazed at the billowing dust in the distance, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Let's fight, let's fight until we're both badly injured, then I can reap the benefits."

His connection with the golden-patterned vase remains; he can summon it back with a single thought.

As long as the distance is no more than 100 miles, it can sense them, giving him a great deal of room to maneuver.

The reason for deliberately throwing it to Black Wind King was to provoke a fight between it and Dugu Ba.

After all, he was the weakest of the three parties present, and his priority was survival before making any further plans.

As long as they both suffer heavy losses, he can easily clean up the mess and gain the greatest benefit.

As for the heir of the Prince of Jin, even with the backing of the Prince of Jin's family, he was still not taken seriously by him.

Because he has six incarnations!
If one can't beat them, surely six of them ganging up on them won't lose, right?
Moreover, the Yin Water Dragon, in its incarnation in the Weak Water, possesses combat power comparable to a great demon!

If we were to lure the three of them to the Weak Water, the outcome would be uncertain, but there's no need for that.

Why bother fighting and risking your life when you can easily reap the benefits?
Moreover, Liu Sheng's goal was merely to take the Golden Patterned Bottle without leaving any future trouble, not to kill the Prince of Jin and his entourage.

Because there are still imperial troops inside these ruins!
The mysterious swordsman beside Xie Bao possessed strength comparable to that of Dugu Ba.

If he kills Dugu Ba and Black Wind King, he probably won't be able to defeat that person on his own.

Even with his master Wu Song around, there's always a chance of something going wrong.

For someone like him who is eager to take risks, the muddier the water, the easier it is to fish.

In short, the Prince of Jin's heir can die, Dugu Ba can die, and the Black Wind King can die, but not at this moment.

Instead, one should die a worthy death, ideally perishing together with Xie Bao and that mysterious swordsman.

Leaving aside Liu Sheng's various schemes and plots hidden in the Weak Water, the Black Wind King and Dugu Ba fought for hundreds of rounds, gradually determining the victor.

The one who had the upper hand was none other than Dugu Ba!

This top martial artist in Jinzhou possessed a body of bronze head and iron arms, and unparalleled strength. Even when he clashed head-on with the bear demon, he was only at a disadvantage.

However, his cultivation was superb, his moves were divine, and he had rich combat experience. He seized the bear demon's weakness of being insane and mentally fragmented, and turned the tide of the battle, gaining the upper hand.

With the Crown Prince of Jin also present, employing a variety of methods, including various magical artifacts and talismans, the two against one managed to turn the tide and gain the upper hand.

"Wow, you two against one, that's too much of a bullying! If you're so tough, fight one against one!"

The Black Wind King roared in fury, wielding his staff and striking left and right, sending sparks flying. He was extremely powerful.

But they were immediately enveloped by a large number of talismans thrown by the Prince of Jin, with colorful light and a continuous barrage of sounds.

Dugu Ba seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, punching and kicking, each move aimed at vital points, their coordination seamless.

"Stop fighting! Let's get out of here and warm up the treasure first!"

"Bullshit! With just the two of them, how could I not win? Get lost, don't stop me!"

Black Wind King was struggling, his face contorted, one eye red and the other black, shouting incessantly, as if two consciousnesses were arguing inside him.

One moment he's wielding his staff in fierce attacks, the next he's swirling around in a black wind, always unpredictable.

Unfortunately, it was holding a golden-patterned jade bottle, which caused Dugu Ba and his companion to run around in a panic, making them curse in frustration.

"Hehe, you can't catch me now, can you? Come on, come and chase me!"

"Grandpa's grandpa is called Grandpa, so what do you call me, my grandson?" "La la la, my grandson can't catch up with me!"

The Black Wind King laughed wildly, as if he had discovered some fun game. He would provoke and curse at each other, his words sharp and incisive.

"You deserve to die!"

Dugu was so domineering that he could summon two Buddhas to heaven, but he was clumsy with words and preferred to use his hands rather than his mouth. He couldn't win an argument and could only passively suffer the abuse until he was directly reduced to red-hot status.

However, this change turned out to be a lucky accident. Not only did it render the Prince of Jin's role as an assistant useless, it also made him a weakness of Dugu Ba, thus putting him in a dangerous situation.

Moreover, Dugu Ba was also put on the defensive, not only having to guard against the Black Wind King's counterattack, but also having to watch out for its surprise attack on the Prince of Jin's heir and its underhanded tactics.

For a time, we could only react passively and were constantly running around trying to keep up.

The situation gradually reversed.

The two men and the bear fought and ran, completely disorganized, in a chaotic melee.

Wherever they went, dust filled the sky and gravel rained down, as if a demolition was taking place.

Liu Sheng, who was lying in ambush in the water, was dumbfounded and couldn't help but complain:
"No, if you're going to spar, then spar properly. If you're going to fight, then fight seriously, okay? How old are you? Still playing 'eagle catches chicks'? How childish is that?"

"You've made me follow you guys from east to west, from south to north, like a headless fly, going around in circles..."

Unfortunately, the Black Wind King couldn't hear him at all; instead, he got completely carried away, unleashing his ferocity and acting erratically.

It relentlessly attacked the Prince of Jin, riding the black wind with great speed, agility, and cunning, employing both ruthless and vicious tactics.

Several times he almost killed the Prince of Jin on the spot, forcing Dugu Ba to stay by the Prince of Jin's side and never leave him.

In the end, the still-shaken Prince Jin decided to give up and, together with Dugu Ba, intended to leave the place to save their own lives, but they were entangled by the Black Wind King.

The two sides fought repeatedly, one fleeing and the other chasing, until they finally stopped at a place about four or five miles from the edge of the island.

"Black Wind, are you really going to disregard the friendship between our two families and fight to the death?"

The Prince of Jin's face was deathly pale, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were cold and sharp, showing no fear whatsoever, as if he had something to hold onto.

Dugu Ba lagged two steps behind him, his face was blue and his fangs were bared, his breathing was rapid, his red hair stood on end, smoke was billowing from his ears and nose, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"A fight to the death? This..."

Upon hearing this, the Black Wind King paused for a moment, gave the two of them a serious look, then burst into laughter, clapping vigorously in a maniacal voice:

"Okay, okay, don't run away, I haven't had enough fun yet!"

Before the words were even finished, it suddenly leaped up, as if transforming into a black gust of wind, and slammed down with the Zen staff.

"boom!"

Amidst the deafening roar, Dugu Ba intervened and engaged the beast in a fierce battle.

This time, he used all his strength to fiercely attack the golden-patterned bottle in the bear demon's hand.

The moves were fierce and powerful, forcing the bear demon to retreat repeatedly, shouting "Despicable!"
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you hitting this treasure? If you're so tough, why don't you fight me!"

"What's the point of this treasure if you can't even save your own life?"

The Prince of Jin's heir sneered and said in a deep voice:

"If I cannot obtain the sweet dew from the willow branch in the bottle, then there is no need for this bottle to exist; it may as well be destroyed."

A lose-lose situation is better than a win-win situation; I'd rather flip the table.

"This……"

The Black Wind King stopped, showing hesitation. It opened its palm and glanced at the treasure bottle—

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, the bottle transformed into jade light and disappeared from its source.
