Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 253 Quickly Mastering Thunder Techniques, Sensing Death Qi

The sky is high and the land is vast, with clouds churning and billowing.

A streak of bluish-white light pierced through the clouds and flew towards the distant celestial palace.

Du Bingyan sat on the broad back of the Sky-Splitter Sparrow, the strong wind blowing against her face and ruffling her beautiful hair.

After filling their stomachs, the two immediately set off for the Heavenly Palace.

After Liu Sheng transformed into the Sky-Splitting Sparrow, he had a mount for transportation.

Occasionally, he would feel guilty towards his incarnations, and he would either treat them as "scapegoats," or as reckless henchmen, or ride them around like mounts.

In short, wherever there is trouble, he throws his avatar there, even more ruthless than those unscrupulous bosses in his previous life, purely exploiting them.

"However, my avatars are all projections of myself; they are still me at heart. So what if I exploit myself? So what if I ride my own coattails? I don't blame myself at all..."

Wait a minute, something feels off, something's really strange!

Liu Sheng raised an eyebrow, inexplicably shuddered, and quickly suppressed his thoughts, muttering to himself:
"They're all delusions, definitely delusions... Destroy them!"

With a single thought, the talent "Blade Heart" is activated; this level 5 talent has outstanding effects.

As the blade flashed, all the distracting thoughts that filled his mind vanished instantly.

He appeared unusually aloof and devoid of desire.

What opportunity did you mention before?

At this moment, Du Bingyan spoke, her lips moved but no sound came out.

But the voice rang clearly in Liu Sheng's ears.

Transmitting sound secretly!

The air currents were turbulent and the wind was howling, making it difficult to hear clearly. Fortunately, the ability to transmit sound secretly ensured smooth communication.

"Do you intend to repeat your old tricks, letting the Prince of Jin's mansion and the imperial court fight each other to the death before you make your move?"

Du Bingyan's eyes were fixed intently, and with a quick slur of her words, she transmitted her voice again.

"good."

Liu Sheng nodded, and he wiggled the muscles near his vocal cords, trying to focus his voice into a line, imitating the secret transmission of sound.

Unfortunately, he lacked true qi within him and ultimately could not succeed.

The core key to transmitting sound into secret is "Qi"!
True qi or demonic qi, either is fine, but it's essential.

"The Prince of Jin and Xie Bao are not fools. Knowing that we are watching, would they still fight to the death?"

Du Bingyan thought for a moment and added:

"If I were them, I would join forces to clear the area first, eliminating everyone else, and then decide the winner..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng chuckled softly and whispered in her ear:

"If they had a broad vision and could trust each other, they might be able to do so. But Xie Bao is cunning, treacherous, and ruthless by nature. Even if he could reach an agreement with the Prince of Jin to join forces, they would still have ulterior motives and be scheming against each other."

At the slightest sign of trouble, or if things don't go smoothly, they'll turn against each other and fight to the death...

"So you were taking your time, even deliberately dragging things out, just to give them time to fight amongst themselves?"

Du Bingyan's eyes gleamed with a strange light, as if she were imagining something.

"You really see right through Xie Bao!"

This……

I was just making up an excuse and talking nonsense!

What on earth are you imagining, you woman?
Liu Sheng's lips twitched, he chuckled awkwardly, and then changed the subject:
"However, both sides have Yellow Court Qi Refining experts backing them up. If we rush over rashly, it will be tantamount to death."

Recalling how the mysterious swordsman had ruthlessly killed the two avatars of the elephant and tiger with a single strike, Liu Sheng's expression turned solemn.

Even though he has refined the Fire Crow incarnation and his strength has increased, if he were to encounter it head-on, he might at most escape with his life, but he would still be no match for it.

"So, you're planning to..."

"Find my master!"

Liu Sheng licked his lips and gave his answer.

If you can't win, don't rush in; call for reinforcements.

I'm not without connections, you know. My master was one of the 108 Fiends of Fajiu Mountain back in the day, a ruthless man who dared to kill an enemy chieftain amidst a vast army. It's just that his old injuries were too severe back then, affecting his cultivation.

However, with the mango pomelo sago, it will surely help him recover from his injuries and regenerate his severed limbs.

By then, how strong will the fully-formed Tiger Demon Wu Song be?
Would killing Dugu Ba and his group be as easy as killing chickens?
Hehe, I can't wait!
But where is Master?
"Previously, in the Mud Mountain Illusion, your master fought with Xie Bao and his group and was injured by the mysterious swordsman who snatched the Mountain-Driving Whip."

Du Bingyan reviewed it carefully, and finally pointed in the direction of the Heavenly Palace:

"Later, it seems he fled towards the Heavenly Palace..."

If you can't fight, just run away, no shame.

He was injured, yet he still ran to the Heavenly Palace. Could it be that the true destiny of immortality in this ruin lies in the Heavenly Palace?

Several thoughts arose in Liu Sheng's mind, but he shook his head and suppressed them for the time being.

In any case, let's seize the time and improve our capabilities.

For example, the "Heavenly Strike by Thunder" and "Five Thunder Transformation Techniques" should be practiced until they reach the true essence.

So he began practicing his skills on the back of the Sky-Splitting Sparrow.

Lightning crackled and sparks emanated from his body, and with each repetition, his power grew stronger.

After more than twenty repetitions, he was bathed in intense electric light. Lightning flashed with every move he made, and his breath sounded like thunder.

His entire being seemed to be a reincarnation of the ancient Thunder God.

Even the Sky-Splitting Sparrow avatar beneath it was electrocuted, its feathers standing on end, screeching wildly, and it almost fell.

The power of being struck by lightning is the true essence of enlightenment!

The Five Thunder Transformations Technique is mastered, and the true meaning is perfected!

By refining five different types of lightning energy, one can advance to the next level and reach the ultimate realm.

He is far superior to Lei Zhong, who has been training for more than ten years.

However, due to his current level of cultivation, he was unable to unleash the full power of these two martial arts techniques.

The "Thunder Spirit" talent is terrifying.

"What's holding me back right now is that my cultivation level is improving too slowly..."

Lightning flashed in Liu Sheng's eyes, and with each breath, arcs of electricity crackled from his mouth and nose. The sound was not loud, but it was as loud as thunder.

Du Bingyan, who was standing next to him, was dumbfounded.

She witnessed firsthand the entire process of Liu Sheng practicing these two Thunder Aspect martial arts.

From beginner to proficient, to master, to truly understand, I practiced it less than forty times in total!

She was so shocked she could hardly speak, as if she were dreaming.

Calling someone with such talent a genius would be an insult.

So, this is his true nature?
Born in the countryside, yet possessing lofty ambitions and unparalleled talent, he was far superior to the disciples of powerful clans and sects in Jizhou, who were not even worthy of carrying his shoes.

With such talent, my father and the others shouldn't object to me being with him...

Du Bingyan's lips curled up slightly, as if she had thought of something embarrassing. Her cheeks flushed red, making her exceptionally charming.

"What's wrong with this woman?"

Liu Sheng finished his practice and glanced at Du Bingyan. Seeing her eyes filled with tenderness and affection, he immediately felt uneasy and shivered.

He quickly turned his head to try and change the subject, and then he saw a faint Buddhist light rising from the southeast, condensing into the phantom image of an Arhat.

That made quite a commotion!

To his surprise, he vaguely seemed to see wisps of grayish-black light mixed within the Buddha's light...

Dead air.

The activation of his innate "Crow Form" allowed him to sense "death energy" that was invisible to ordinary people!
That was the unique scent of life about to be transferred.

"That way!"

With a thought, the Sky-Splitting Sparrow beneath him immediately adjusted its direction, flapped its wings, and swooped down.
