Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 266 The Mountain-Driving Whip should be returned to its rightful owner!

In front of the Heavenly Palace.

Before the blade even struck, everyone felt a chill run down their spines and their legs went weak.

It was as if a celestial being high above the heavens was wielding a sword and slashing down, which was beyond human power to stop.

It's like the King of Hell in the underworld, issuing a death warrant, saying you'll die at midnight, but you won't even die before dawn.

"How dare you launch a sneak attack without saying a word!"

Xie Bao was both shocked and furious. He looked up, as if staring directly at the blazing sun; everything went blank. His eye slit burst open, blood streaming down, and he let out a bloodcurdling scream.

"Ouch! It hurts!"

"Choke~"

Only when a sword rang out, its innate demonic nature enveloping him like a dark cloud, did he manage to break free from that terrifying predicament.

But the mysterious swordsman beside him intervened and rescued him.

At the same time, the heir of the Prince of Jin was also protected by Dugu Ba and only suffered minor injuries.

"Amitabha... Who is this person? I have never seen such a murderous intent in my life!"

With a flick of his robe, the Black Wind King unleashed a sudden black wind that enveloped him, forcing him to retreat in shock.

The four humans and one demon never expected that the newcomer would be so arrogant, daring to launch a surprise attack from such a distance without even saying a word.

Domineering and savage!
Insolent!
When did such a vicious person appear in the ruins?
who is it?

The next moment, the blade flashed down like a silver river cascading down, vast and unstoppable.

But just before it hit the ground, it suddenly shrank and crashed onto the open ground in front of the Heavenly Palace, covering the spot where everyone had been standing!

Not an inch more, not a millimeter less!
Therefore, this slash was not a surprise attack, nor was it intended to harm anyone; rather, it was more like a declaration.

Of course, if you can't even dodge this one blow, then you deserve to die.

"boom--!"

The blades flashed and roared, the ground trembled violently, the air currents roared, pushing up waves of mud and stirring up large swathes of dust and mud that obscured the view.

When the dust settled, four figures appeared in the eyes of the four humans and one demon.

The man in the lead was about thirty years old, as tall as an iron tower, with a dignified appearance. He wore a string of white bone Buddhist beads on his chest and carried a nine-ringed Buddhist knife in his hand.

Behind them were a handsome young couple, a beautiful boy and a beautiful girl, who looked very close and well-matched.

The last one to fall was a handsome young man with a hooked nose and an aloof demeanor.

It was none other than Liu Sheng and his two companions who had arrived, along with the human form that the Sky-Splitting Sparrow had transformed into!
"Eagle Brothers!"

At this moment, the Black Wind King cheered and rushed towards the Sky-Splitting Sparrow's avatar, overjoyed:
"I knew you'd come here, so I came specifically to help you retrieve the celestial destiny from the Heavenly Palace!"

At the same time, Xie Bao looked at Liu Sheng and Du Bingyan with a surprised and uncertain expression.

He had been chasing Du Bingyan, but was rescued by a demonic bird halfway through his journey. He was then intercepted by two monsters and fell into danger. In the end, a mysterious swordsman arrived and killed him with a single blow.

Seeing Du Bingyan and Liu Sheng together now, I can't help but wonder about the relationship between those monsters and the two of them.

But soon, everyone's attention was drawn to Wu Song.

With disheveled hair, eyes like cold stars, and eyebrows like painted lacquer, he exuded an aura of overwhelming power, like a divine general descending to earth.

When a person stands there, it is like a mountain range standing tall and majestic, with a subtle undercurrent of airflow as they breathe, like tides and waves.

With just one glance, the Prince of Jin and his entourage paled and alarm bells rang in their hearts.

Xie Bao, in particular, stood out even more—

He stood there, stunned, his face ashen. He recognized something, but was unsure. His gaze swept over Wu Song's arms repeatedly, and his whole body trembled.

"What, do you not recognize me, or are you afraid to?"

At this moment, Wu Song glanced at Xie Bao, chuckled, and turned to look at the mysterious swordsman beside him, his eyes filled with complex emotions:

"Brother Yang, we meet again."

The mysterious swordsman gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, remaining silent.

Instead, Xie Bao, standing nearby, reacted by shouting:

"Wu Song! How could you...you...get the Willow Branch Dew, cleanse your marrow and bones, regenerate severed limbs, and completely heal your old injuries?"

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, until finally his voice became so shrill it sounded like that of a shrew.

Can you not be in a hurry?

The appearance of Wu Song before me is exactly the same as when the 108 villains of Fajiu Mountain gathered together! Only, compared to his high spirits back then, he has gained some maturity and experience from the years.

It's important to understand that even a severely wounded and weakened Wu Song could still manage to escape the imperial court's relentless pursuit over the years, occasionally killing a few officials and slaughtering a few generals...

Now that Wu Song has recovered from his diarrhea and injuries, how strong will he be?

Thinking of his elder brother's fate, Xie Bao felt a chill in his throat and instinctively retreated behind the mysterious swordsman.

Now, we can only rely on this person.

After all, he and Wu Song had once been bandits together at Erjiao Mountain before they went to Shangfajiu Mountain, so they had some kinship ties.

Among the 108 villains of Fajiu Mountain, Wu Song was known for his "loyalty and righteousness".

"Because... I have a good disciple!"

Wu Song raised his chin, as if showing off, and pulled Liu Sheng onto the stage.

The reason he had kept it a secret in the past was that he was seriously injured, believed he would die soon, and had enemies all over the world, so he was afraid he couldn't protect Liu Sheng.

Now that he has been reborn and his strength has greatly increased, protecting his own disciples is a piece of cake.

As for enemies...

After helping his disciple obtain the celestial destiny in the Heavenly Palace, he would naturally settle all scores one by one.

"So it was Tiger Demon Wu Song, Senior Wu!"

At this moment, the Prince of Jin spoke up. He nodded to Wu Song, his gaze sweeping over Liu Sheng and the others before finally settling on the Sky-Splitting Sparrow, his eyes flashing.

He was unaware that it was Liu Sheng, in human form as the Sky-Splitting Sparrow, who had taken the Golden Patterned Pure Bottle from him on Buddha Island.

Naturally, the Sky Sparrow incarnation is regarded as a major enemy.

However, he was quite puzzled by the fact that this formidable enemy lagged behind last, remaining silent and behaving like a follower.

Any demon who can break through the Four Phases Tribulation Realm and seize the Golden Pattern Pure Bottle from him and Dugu Ba can only become his lackeys...

How strong are the other three?

The mere sight of Wu Song after his recovery turned Xie Bao pale as a ghost.

Not to mention, the Black Wind King is also an unofficial member of their organization!
Therefore, it seems that only by joining forces with Xie Bao and the other person can they have a chance to seize the immortal opportunity.

He glanced at Xie Bao subconsciously, only to meet Xie Bao's gaze.

Their eyes met briefly before looking away, a tacit understanding formed between them.

"Senior Wu..."

The Crown Prince of Jin took a breath, a faint smile appearing on his face:

"This Heavenly Palace restriction can only be lifted by collecting both the Mountain-Driving Whip and the Golden-Patterned Pure Bottle."

He turned and pointed to the stone steps behind him, then said:
"There's no time to lose, please..."

"and many more!"

Wu Song raised his hand to interrupt, questioning without any politeness:
"If what you say is true, then two treasures must be collected to break the seal."

Xie Bao and his men have mountain-driving whips, and my apprentice has a golden-patterned jade bottle. What does your Prince Jin's mansion have?
"If you have nothing, why should we let you into the Heavenly Palace to compete with us for a chance at immortality?"

His words were clear and logical, leaving the Prince of Jin speechless.

That's right. Opening the Heavenly Palace requires two precious treasures. If you don't contribute, why should you be allowed in?
This is the most precious immortal opportunity in the ruins, and you still want to freeload?
Liu Sheng's lips curled up slightly. It seemed that his master had also noticed the little tricks between the Prince of Jin and Xie Bao.

Rough at heart, yet meticulous at heart!

"Ahem, Prince Jin's heir... was someone I invited to join me in seeking immortality in the Heavenly Palace."

At this moment, Xie Bao spoke up, pointing at the Black Wind King and chuckling:

"How about we do the same thing as when you invited the Black Wind King?"

"No!"

Liu Sheng stepped forward, falling half a body length behind Wu Song. His blood and qi surged within him, and he said softly:

"This mountain-driving whip originally belonged to my master, but you stole it during the chaos. Now it should be returned to its rightful owner!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Bao and the others' expressions changed drastically.

"you……"
