Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 367 Trapping the Du Clan, Killing Gongsun Yu

"It's done!"

Liu Sheng's eyes flashed with six different colors, his lips curled up slightly, but a look of panic appeared on his face, as if he hadn't expected Gongsun Yu to launch a sneak attack in public.

He shielded Du Bingyan behind him, blocking the attack while shouting:
"Is this the conduct of your Gongsun clan? First, you disguise your identities, then you launch a sneak attack, tsk tsk tsk..."

"I kill you!"

Gongsun Yu was furious. For some reason, he felt that Liu Sheng was his mortal enemy who had killed his father, and he wished he could cut him into a thousand pieces and tear him to pieces.

He raised his hand and slashed, as if a giant axe had fallen. With his true energy surging, a crystalline mist of light emerged from the edge of his palm, tearing through the air with a sound like tearing silk, emitting a sharp "whoosh" sound.

A milky white wave of air surged up, like a small snake, coiling around his arms, piercing the surrounding air with every movement.

The moment he made his move, the temperature inside Yuntao Hall plummeted, as if it had instantly plunged into an ice cellar, and even the ground was covered with a layer of frost.

Mystic Ice Soul-Splitting Axe!
Gongsun Yu used his hand instead of an axe, employing the secret martial art that made the Gongsun family famous.

"Huang Ting Realm!"

Liu Sheng narrowed his eyes and reached out with his right hand without hesitation.

He had previously used the talent of the "Six Desires Puppet Spider" avatar to deliberately provoke Gongsun Yu's anger and lure him into making a move, all for this moment...

Self-defense counterattack!

This would give him a legitimate reason to kill him.

If Gongsun's eldest son dies at Du's hands, Du will be unable to save him unless she kills all the other relatives, family heads, and attendants present.

Otherwise, the specific details will inevitably be leaked.

In this way, the Gongsun family and the Du family will inevitably clash!

Unless they completely surrender and become vassals, they have no choice but to fight to the bitter end with the full strength of their clan.

Completely eliminate the possibility of wavering between two sides.

In that case, he is safe for the time being.

Otherwise, his head would most likely have become a gift and been sent to the Gongsun family.

So, will the Du family back down and admit defeat?

will not!

The current strength of the Du family determines that it is a behemoth. Unless it is dismembered, it will not bow its head or admit defeat.

Because nobody believes it.

The prerequisite for keeping a low profile is that you are small and weak enough.

When you grow into the elephant in the room, and then tell others to be low-key and patient, to keep a low profile, unless they are idiots, no one will believe you.

When you've reached that level of strength, you can't stay low-key even if you want to.

The Du family has developed maritime trade for hundreds of years, accumulating immense wealth. The power they have secretly built up has long exceeded the limits of a prominent family in the county.

The basis is...

With just one of their three fleets, they were able to sail upstream for thousands of miles, launch a surprise attack on the Lianjiang Town navy, and defeat it in one battle!

It should be noted that Lianjiang Town is a vital waterway of the Dalongjiang River. The troops and generals stationed there by the imperial court were all assessed in advance and deemed sufficient to suppress all surrounding forces.

They were defeated by only one-third of the strength of Du's fleet!
It should be noted that the Du family's military power was not limited to their fleet.

From these small details, one can imagine just how formidable the Du family's hidden strength was.

These powerful clans have a long history, spanning hundreds or even thousands of years. They are all cunning and ruthless, and you never truly know their depths until the very end.

Especially since the Du family lives by the sea, they can hide on a small island at sea and no one can find them.

Gongsun's attempt to obtain "divine favor" through the Guo family of Changping may have been a test in essence.

Or perhaps the "destiny with immortals" itself is merely a convenient excuse. In reality, it's two behemoths vying for control of Youzhou.

Having understood these points, one can then observe the subtle differences between the four families—Wang, Chen, Guo, and Tian—who came together, by examining the details.

Some want to sit back and watch the fight, some have already placed their bets, some hope to remain neutral and protect themselves, and others...

They may have come with the intention of betting on Du's company!
Inside Yuntao Hall, a truly wonderful show was unfolding, featuring all sorts of characters, from leading men and women to painted-face roles, old men and clowns, and various musical instruments, singing, dancing, and more.

How wonderful!

Liu Sheng had foreseen this situation beforehand, which is why he went along with it.

Help the Du family...make up your mind!
"Qiang! Qiang!"

When their palms and arms collided, they made a sound like metal clashing, and sparks flew everywhere.

The wisps of cold air dissipated, the light mist surged and coalesced, constantly changing, and the turbulent waves spread out in concentric circles.

Liu Sheng felt a tremendous force coming from his forearm, threatening to shatter his arm bones, but it was broken by an even more violent and domineering force.

Talent, the power to uproot mountains!
At the same time, deep within the immense power, a cold, sharp aura attempted to penetrate, pierce the heart and lungs, freeze the blood and congeal the marrow, but it was completely worn away by the golden and jade-like radiance flowing on the skin.

Talent, indestructible!
"Huh? How is that possible?"

Gongsun Yu felt as if his prepared attack had missed its mark, weak and powerless.

However, having been carefully trained by his family since childhood, he was experienced in combat and immediately sensed something was wrong. He moved swiftly, withdrew his hand, and retreated, intending to avoid the enemy's sharp edge.

But it was too late—

A powerful hand, like a venomous python pouncing on its prey, leaped up and seized his wrist.

No matter how hard he struggled to break free, he remained as steadfast as a mountain.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying force, like a torrent bursting its banks, crashed into his wrist, instantly crushing his hand bones, and leaving his entire arm numb.

"Hey!"

Liu Sheng chuckled, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. His arm trembled like waves, his muscles and bones exerting force inch by inch, unleashing his full power to uproot mountains, which finally erupted from between his right fingers.

"Uh-"

Gongsun Yu screamed in agony as he felt an even more ferocious and violent force surge into his body, sweeping through him.

It swept along his arm with unstoppable force, penetrating his limbs, bones, and internal organs, acting on every inch of his muscles and bones, instantly destroying his body from the inside out!
He felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and his body was involuntarily thrown up and down several times before his steel frame shattered completely.

He collapsed to the ground like a tattered sack, blood gushing from his pores, turning him into a blood-soaked figure.

But he was, after all, a Yellow Court cultivator, with vigorous vitality. Even though his bones and muscles were shattered, they began to heal and recover powerfully under the nourishment of his true energy.

This is how terrifying the Yellow Court cultivators are.

Physical injuries, as long as they are not fatal on the spot, can be healed given enough time and as long as the vital energy is not exhausted.

"Damn it!"

Gongsun Yu let out a low roar, urging his true energy to cause the jade pendant embedded in his flesh to shine brightly, forming a cluster of light that acted as a barrier, protecting him.

Without him making any move, a crimson pill flew out and landed in his mouth.

His terrible injuries healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Gongsun family was, after all, the most powerful clan in Youzhou, with a deep foundation and numerous means of protection.

Once he recovers, all our previous plans will be in vain!
Therefore, he had to die, die in the Du family's Yuntao Hall, die in full view of everyone.

With a fierce determination, Liu Sheng opened his mouth and exhaled a black wind that darkened the entire hall, making it impossible to see one's own hand in front of one's face.

A golden light flashed in his palm, and the Mountain-Driving Whip appeared in his hand, slamming down hard on Gongsun Yu's forehead.

"Oh!"
