Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 403 Thunder Rhino Makes its Debut
Thunder spears rained down, accompanied by the roar of lightning.

After the Azure Waves Array was broken, the entire Du clan territory was washed by countless lightning spears, as if the end of the world had arrived.

The sounds of buildings collapsing, the ground cracking, flesh charring, cries, and wails...

A complete mess!
In particular, Yuntao Hall, where Du Xingheng and others were located, was the focus of the attack and suffered more than a dozen lightning spear strikes...

Life or death is uncertain!

This was tantamount to a decapitation, leaving the scattered members of the Du clan without unified coordination and command, and forcing them to act independently.

The Du family was ultimately careless. The entire clan was preparing for the great battle three days later and had no idea that the Gongsun family would launch another surprise attack.

After all, according to normal procedures, it would take at least two or three days for Gongsun to receive definite news, and time would also be needed for preparation.

At that time, the Du clan and the other three clans had already joined forces to invade Jicheng.

Completely unexpectedly, the Gongsun clan mobilized all their forces and unleashed their full power to attack without knowing the full extent of the situation.

It can only be said that the Gongsun family, who dominated Youzhou for a thousand years, did have some tricks up their sleeve.

The vision, strategic thinking, and decisiveness of the current head of the family, Gongsun Yuezhi, are all top-notch.

"How could this be?"

"The Azure Waves Raging Formation couldn't even last two breaths before it was broken..."

Du Bingyan felt a chill run through her body as she watched the lightning spears shooting down from the cloud boat, a look of despair appearing in her eyes.

This wave of lightning strikes alone has resulted in at least a thousand casualties for the Du family.

Especially in the Yuntao Hall area, almost all of the core members and high-ranking officials of the Du family were wiped out.

As for everyone else…

"Hey, you old dog Gongsun, you've gone too far! Die!"

Someone leaped out of the ruins, wielding a twelve-foot crescent blade, stepping on clouds, ascending straight to the sky, and looking at the cloud boat in the air.

A Yellow Court cultivator who has completed the microcosmic orbit.

"Uncle Xingliu!"

Du Bingyan recognized the man's identity, drew her sword, and was about to rush forward to help.

"and many more!"

Liu Sheng grabbed her, but before he could finish speaking, there was a loud "bang".

A massive, five-colored hand, several acres in size, descended from the sky and slammed towards Du Xingliu, who was raising his sword.

The one who made the move was at the Profound Realm!
"Hey, I want it—"

"puff!"

With a soft thud, Du Xingliu was shot into a cloud of blood mist before he could finish speaking.

"Uncle Xingliu..."

Du Bingyan opened her mouth, her eyes reddening, but she did not act impulsively again.

The other Du family experts who had dodged the lightning spears and wanted to retaliate also all fell silent.

With the Tongxuan Ancestor presiding over the cloud boat, ordinary people at the Yellow Court Realm couldn't even get close.

Moreover, even if they got close, they would likely end up like Du Xingliu.

Even if someone in the Profound Realm has just opened the two bridges between heaven and earth, their combat power is enough to crush someone in the Yellow Court Realm.

If they don't get close enough to destroy the cloud boat, these endless bolts of lightning will rain down like a devastating attack...

Over time, the elderly, women, children, and younger members of the Du family with lower cultivation levels will likely all die.

But once they get close, who can stop Gongsun's Transcendent Realm experts from making a move?
You should know that only Tongxuan can deal with Tongxuan.

The patriarchs of the Chen, Wang, and Tian clans were all stationed in their respective clans, preparing for the four families to join forces and attack the Gongsun clan three days later.

Even if we could get through, it would be too late for them to come and help.

Above the clouds, Du Renwang clearly realized the situation was bad and tried to land, but was stopped by Gongsun Tianxu.

Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a fierce storm raged. Fist-sized ice cannons rained down like cannonballs, leaving craters everywhere on the ground, adding insult to injury.

In the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Du family, caught completely off guard, was utterly defeated, their fortunes were waning, and their defeat was inevitable.

"Could it be... that the Du family is doomed to perish today? I refuse to believe it!"

Du Bingyan gripped the sword hilt tightly, her inner energy surged, and a chilling sword intent soared into the sky.

The water shimmered beneath her feet, and a full moon had risen above her head without her noticing. In the void, sword energy crisscrossed, cutting through the air with a "whoosh" sound. "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Just then, the cloud boat in the air seemed to sense something, and immediately three lightning spears shot out, rushing towards her one after another.

"Zizzizi~"

Arcs of electricity crackled and thunder roared, and in the blink of an eye, they were upon each other.

A destructive aura of lightning erupted instantly—

"Boom boom boom!"

The lightning exploded, and the scattered arcs of electricity resembled endless serpents, roaming the void, dazzlingly bright.

"Hiccup~"

Liu Sheng let out a burp, and wisps of smoke immediately rose from his mouth and nose.

Talent, Thunder Spirit!
It feeds on lightning and transforms it into lightning element, which in turn strengthens its muscles and bones.

Furthermore, it is of grade 5, which is just enough to consume the Thunder Spear without fear of indigestion.

"Liu Lang, you..."

Du Bingyan, who was being protected behind him, stared wide-eyed at Liu Sheng, who seemed completely unconcerned, her mind filled with doubt.

But she didn't have time to think it through and quickly pleaded:

"help me……"

"it is good!"

Liu Sheng nodded, and with a thought, a beam of purple light descended from him, rolled on the ground, and grew taller and larger...

In an instant, it transformed into a giant, purplish-black rhinoceros, five or six hundred feet tall.

Its four hooves, like pillars supporting the sky, braced themselves on the Du clan's land, causing the ground to sag several inches. Yet, relying on its massive size, it stood like a city wall, blocking the Du clan members from above.

The lightning spears that fell from the cloud boat disappeared into his body as soon as they got close, leaving no trace.

Only the purple horn on its forehead, as if being charged, gradually began to glow and shine at an astonishing speed.

Golden-Eyed Thunder Rhinoceros!

This avatar, which he had originally stationed at Crouching Tiger Village, was urgently recalled by him and then summoned back.

There was no other way; facing Gongsun's unreasonable barrage of lightning spears, the only way to turn the tide was through him.

As for Crouching Tiger Village, we can only let the tiger incarnation take care of it for the time being.

"Is this... your cow, or something...?"

Du Bingyan's mouth dropped open, and she was somewhat incoherent, but the surprise on her face was genuine.

“Hey, I’ll have this rat stay with you. Go check out Yuntao Hall, rescue your dad and the others, and then organize a counterattack.”

Liu Sheng then summoned the Earth Rat, gave it some instructions, and in a flash, appeared on the back of the Thunder Rhino...

Standing amidst a shower of lightning and sparks.

"then you……"

Du Bingyan was stunned for a moment. She had a thousand words to say, but she swallowed them back. In the end, she only said "Be careful" heavily.

Then the Earth Rat transformed, opened its mouth, swallowed her whole, burrowed into the ground, and disappeared without a trace.

With his worries gone, Liu Sheng finally looked up at the sky.

The appearance of the Golden-Eyed Thunder Rhinoceros was like a solid barrier, blocking the sky above the Du clan's territory and isolating the Thunder Spear.

It provided shelter for the people on the ground and bought them time.

Such conspicuous behavior naturally attracted the attention of many experts from the Gongsun clan on the cloud boat.

In particular, it was noticed that the thunder spears falling like raindrops did not cause any damage to the thunder rhinoceros at all. Instead, they made the rhinoceros's body crackle with electricity and become even more terrifying. All the thunder spears stopped falling.

"Who are you?"

"What kind of monster is this?"

"Why are you helping the Du family? Do you intend to become an enemy of my Gongsun family? You are so young, why do you..."

A figure floated out from the cloud boat, loudly questioning, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly swung his axe down:
"Seek death!"
