When Grandpa Fang Sheng heard the call, his heart skipped a beat.

Someone's there!

His first instinct was to run away.

But the Ink Iron Mysterious Wolf seemed to have become fierce due to the pain, and it relentlessly entangled itself.

But when Fang Sheng saw the clothes Yang Shan was wearing and the aura emanating from Yang Shan, he breathed a sigh of relief.

They're family, and a Three-Star Dou Ling at that.

Regardless of which faction this steward belongs to within the sect, he can be of use at this moment.

Yang Shan seemed rather timid, watching from afar and speaking hesitantly:

"Elder Fang, Elder Sheng, I only came to check the situation after hearing the commotion. I didn't know you were hunting. I will not steal your prey. I will leave immediately."

Fang Sheng almost couldn't catch his breath.

What kind of hunting is this?! Are the deacons at the Dou Ling level within the sect really this cowardly?

However, Yang Shan's performance made Fang Sheng lower his guard even further.

Fang Sheng asked:

"So you're a junior member of the sect. What's your name?"

Yang Shan answered honestly:

"My name is Cheng E."

Fang Sheng: "Good name! Cheng E, I see you are not old, but your cultivation is not low. You are a talent. It just so happens that I am hunting here. If you can snatch some demonic beasts from my hands and return to the sect, I will give you a chance to rise to prominence!"

It must be said that Fang Sheng does have a knack for making grand promises.

Once one's strength reaches the Dou Ling level, the rate at which one's appearance ages will slow down.

It's not uncommon for a fifty-year-old to look like a twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old.

But Fang Sheng clearly did not test Yang Shan's bone age, yet he bluntly said that Yang Shan was a talented person!

And they could rightfully put Yang Shan to the test.

Yang Shan has indeed taken the bait!

He exclaimed excitedly:

"Elder Sheng, is everything you said true?"

Fang Sheng: "I am a Dou Wang expert, how could I deceive a junior like you? I don't think you are a coward, so I set this test for you!"

Yang Shan: "Elder Sheng, you have a really good eye for people!"

Fang Sheng urged, "Hurry up and get started, or I'll lose patience and kill all these scumbags!"

Fang Sheng sneered inwardly.

Where in the Black-Corner Region can you find so many easy and successful advancements?

Regardless of which faction this steward belongs to within the sect, he has to be Fang Sheng's scapegoat today! And Fang Sheng can naturally use Yang Shan to attract the attention of the wolf pack and successfully escape! The longer this seriously injured body fights, the longer it will take to recover.

He would trade the life of a steward for the time of this Dou Wang Elder.

Great deal!

"Kill them!"

Yang Shan, like an honest man, drew his knife and charged forward.

This guy even used Thunder Guiding Blade of the Hundred Refinements Grade!

Moreover, his steps were noticeably slower than usual, and his knife strikes were also much slower.

They even deliberately suppressed the power emanating from "Tyrant Blade".

They really pushed the limits of detail.

Fang Sheng continued to entangle with the Ink Iron Mysterious Wolf. Looking at Yang Shan's disheveled appearance among the wolves, he thought disdainfully, "His swordsmanship is mediocre, his footwork is mediocre, and his only advantage is his imposing presence. He's probably eighty years old in terms of bone age and is just maintaining his appearance by relying on his cultivation. It wouldn't be a pity if he died."

Seeing that the time was ripe, Fang Sheng shouted, "Good! Cheng E, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Your swordsmanship has truly amazed me! Cheng E, come here. I've already beaten this Ink Iron Mysterious Wolf half to death. If you can kill this wolf with your own hands, I might consider making you my True Disciple!"

Yang Shan was beaming with excitement:

"Yes, Elder Sheng Fang Sheng, I will definitely become your disciple!"

Fang Sheng's mouth was practically splitting open with a grin. "You old rascal, come here and take my place!"

As Fang Sheng had hoped, Yang Shan arrived very quickly.

The seven layers of sword intent had already been stacked up.

Yang Shan replaced Thunderclap.

Thunder Spirit Flash! Ape King Violet Lightning!

Tyrant Blade - Seven Kills!

Yang Shan's attack power is now over 600, his Dou Qi Intensity is over 300, Ape King Violet Lightning has 350 damage.

Thunder Spirit Flash: 30% damage increase; Thunderbolt Blade: 30% damage increase.

With a series of buffs, Yang Shan's "Tyrant Blade - Seven Kills" damage directly soared to over 14,000 points!

Moreover, the Thunderbolt Blade has a 10% chance to Armor Break the protective aura of Dou Qi Armor! Fang Sheng only felt a purple light before his eyes and heard a faint electric shock.

Then came the sound of glass breaking.

Fang Sheng was so frightened that the few remaining white hairs on his head stood on end.

"Where is my Dou Qi Armor?"

What happened to the Dou Qi Armor with a full 10,000 points of Vitality Shield? How did it break? Fang Sheng knew that Yang Shan had shattered it with a single strike.

But this seemingly exceptionally young sect leader is a Three-Star Dou Ling! Three-Star Dou Ling! But why is the aura emanating from him so domineering?

Could it be that the world in the Black-Corner Region has changed while I've been hiding in the mountains to heal my wounds for the past few months?

Fang Sheng's head was buzzing, but saving his life is something that anyone would subconsciously prioritize.

Fang Sheng withdrew and retreated hastily.

But Yang Shan's strike just now dealt more than 14,000 damage.

Even after most of its power was depleted by the Dou Qi Armor, it still retained some strength.

If Yang Shan didn't strike Fang Sheng with this knife, he would feel he had let himself down after acting for so long!

But when the Thunderbolt Blade came slashing down, Fang Sheng dodged left and right, determined not to be hit.

Upon seeing this, Yang Shan produced a porcelain bottle in his left hand and threw it at Fang Sheng.

Then a wisp of purple lightning shot towards the porcelain bottle, causing it to explode in front of Fang Sheng!

The white Mafeisan Fang Sheng's face.

Although it's just a low-end poison, it won't cause Fang Sheng, a Dou Wang- level NPC, to lose a single drop of blood.

But the pain and numbness on my face were truly unbearable.

Before Fang Sheng could react, Yang Shan threw another porcelain bottle.

Fang Sheng was genuinely afraid that Yang Shan had lost some troublesome poison, so he immediately pointed a finger and unleashed a burst of energy, shattering the porcelain bottle in advance.

But when the porcelain bottle shattered, there was nothing inside.

"No?"

Fang Sheng's momentary lapse in concentration gave Yang Shan an opportunity to attack.

However, Yang Shan did not forcefully take action.

The Thunderbolt Blade still retains some of the Dou Qi of the "Tyrant Blade - Seven Kills," so it's best to strike its weak point.

Anyway, the purpose of this empty porcelain bottle wasn't to create an opportunity for him.

Instead, it was creating an opportunity for Su Yitang! It has to be said that Su Yitang, who has stepped into the Dou Ling level and is supported by the Fourth Order Beast Wind, is not much slower than Yang Shan.

Su Yitang had already been preparing long before Yang Shan made his move.

She closed in within a few breaths, her dagger gleaming with a gust of wind, but was deflected by the Dou Qi Fang Sheng unleashed in a backhand strike.

Su Yitang remained calm and seized the opportunity to throw the porcelain bottle she was holding in her left hand.

Yang Shan's eyes lit up.

He never expected that Su Yitang would use a dagger as a feint to create an opportunity to throw the poison!

The porcelain bottle exploded again; Su Yitang had used the Bone Erosion Powder.

Compared to Mafeisan, Bone Erosion Powder is a purely corrosive poison.

Fang Sheng's clothes were smoking and making a sizzling sound.

The Bone Erosion Powder couldn't directly reduce Fang Sheng's health, but it could cause Fang Sheng to suffer the pain of corrosion every moment.

Fang Sheng endured the pain and uttered harsh words:

"Is this little bit of poison all you two are relying on? You think you can kill Dou Wang with this little bit of poison?"

Su Yitang almost burst out laughing when she heard this.

She exchanged a glance with Yang Shan.

Various bottles and jars appeared in the hands of the two.

Fire Poison Powder, Five-Step Fall, Ten Fragrance Tendon Weakening Poison, Golden Bo Xun Flower Pollen, Poison King Bee Liquid. They even have "Enoki Mushroom Head Raising Quick-Acting Medicine"! "This is outrageous! This is outrageous!"

Fang Sheng's health hadn't dropped much, but his eyes were bloodshot and he was breathing heavily, looking as if he had been tortured.

"If I don't kill you two rats today, I'll be unworthy of being Dou Wang!"

Fang Sheng was truly enraged this time, and he was determined to make Yang Shan and Su Yitang pay the price!

But just as Fang Sheng was about to retaliate, he suddenly realized that no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't move his legs!

My hands wouldn't obey my commands.

A buzzing sound filled the air as purple lightning coalesced into six chains, binding Fang Sheng's throat, waist, and limbs.

So many poisons were used simply to make Fang Sheng unable to calm down and fight his enemy due to various pains and itches.

Yang Shan could easily find an opportunity to secretly activate the Thunder Guiding Lock! The time limit of the Thunder Guiding Lock was adjusted based on the difference in the Dou Qi Intensity.

Although the opponent was Dou Wang, his stats were weakened, and Yang Shan's technique was changed to "Wrathful Thunder Mystic Skill".

In terms of sheer Dou Qi Intensity, it's even higher than Fang Sheng, Three-Star Dou Wang! This "Thunder Guiding Lock" can control Fang Sheng for three seconds! It's Weak Point Attack, targeting a moving opponent, so hitting it is naturally difficult.

But you can cut down any wooden stake that's standing still!

Su Yitang's dagger and Yang Shan's knife both aimed at Fang Sheng's throat!

What we want is to achieve a one-time, instant kill.

Fang Sheng is now so tormented that he's about to explode.

To give a furious Dou Wang a chance to retaliate is to be courting death!

But at that moment, the lightning chains, which were supposed to disappear in 1.5 seconds, suddenly broke.

Fang Sheng's listless aura suddenly surged.

Yang Shan's heart skipped a beat. "An outburst under dire circumstances? Did he use a secret technique or something?"

However, Fang Sheng's outburst came a little too late.

Despite his desperate attempts to dodge, Yang Shan's knife and Su Yitang's dagger still struck Fang Sheng.

But not the throat.

The knife struck his shoulder, while the dagger pierced his back.

Fang Sheng's health dropped by nearly 5,000 points in an instant!

There are 4,600 points left!

Yang Shan reminded him, "Retreat quickly, leave it to me!"

The death penalty in the Black-Corner Region is too severe, and Yang Shan still doesn't know exactly how strong Su Yitang has become.

Fang Sheng is now risking his life, so it's best to let the other party avoid the situation for now, just to be on the safe side.

Su Yitang didn't waste any time; she pulled out the dagger and retreated.

"Give it to you? Hahaha!"

Fang Sheng's face was now deathly pale, but the aura emanating from him was growing stronger and stronger.

At this moment, Fang Sheng finally revealed the power that a true Dou Wang should possess!

He has no way to leave without killing these two.

Since that's the case, there's no need to worry about the injury.

We must strike hard! Fang Sheng's sudden surge in power seems to be a considerable burden on him, and his health is gradually declining.

Only three thousand points remained! But Yang Shan not only did not retreat, but also condensed purple lightning in his hand.

Fang Sheng thought that Yang Shan's earlier statement, "Leave it to me," was just a casual remark.

Unexpectedly, Yang Shan actually intended to continue fighting!

Fang Sheng felt insulted.

Do you really think the Dou Wang is just clay, to be molded at will? Fang Sheng's face was contorted with rage, veins bulging. "Ignorant madman, do you think you can kill me?"

A strange smile appeared on Yang Shan's face. He whistled and gestured to Fang Sheng to look down.

Fang Sheng didn't want to pay any attention to it.

But he felt a bit of heat in his groin area.

I looked down.

Blue flames were burning fiercely between his legs!

The third technique of the Yin Bi Nine Heavens Great Art — Beast Flame Roasted Bird! Without the protection of Dou Qi Armor, and without having cultivated any special body-refining Dou Technique, Fang Sheng was not a cultivator.

The most sensitive and vulnerable spot was roasted by fourth-order Beast Flame.

Who can withstand this?! "Ughhhhhh!"

Fang Sheng's screams made Su Yitang, who had already created some distance between them, involuntarily squeeze her legs together.

But then she realized:

"Wait a minute, I'm a woman, why would I cross my legs?! Boss is so sneaky, so scary."

Su Yitang's assessment was accurate, but she still underestimated Yang Shan's methods.

How can just Beast Flame Roasted Bird be enough? Ape King Violet Lightning appeared in Yang Shan's palm.

He tiptoed and retreated.

With a wave of his hand, the Ape King Violet Lightning slammed into the Azure Jade Python Flame beneath Fang Sheng's crotch.

Overload triggered!

Boom!

The area within a radius of three zhang was enveloped by flames and thunder that spread from the explosion.

Fang Sheng's screams were at least two octaves higher than before.

Su Yitang was shocked. "What kind of Dou Technique is this? Fang Sheng's little mushroom will be blown to bits! Oh dear!"

Su Yitang suddenly realized what was happening and covered her forehead. "Su Yitang, you can't, you can't think like that. You have to be more innocent, um, innocent!"

Yang Shan's voice came through. "Su Yitang!"

Su Yitang: "Hey, boss, I'm here!"

Yang Shan: "Let's get some wind blowing."

Su Yitang: "Boss, are you hot?"

Yang Shan: "."

Su Yitang said that on purpose, knowing full well what she was trying to do.

Energizing the Fourth Order Beast Wind, Yang Shan's Overload flames and lightning dissipated more quickly under the influence of the wind.

Fang Sheng appeared.

At this moment, he was kneeling on the ground, his hands covering his groin, looking at Yang Shan with that expression.

The pain in his body seemed insignificant, as if Yang Shan had stolen his wife and then seduced his lover.

The excruciating pain in his groin, more intense than any excruciating agony, forced Fang Sheng to suppress his rage.

He was now frighteningly calm! Although Fang Sheng looked miserable, he actually still retained a considerable amount of Dou Qi, and the effects of the secret technique had not yet dissipated.

But now, if Fang Sheng moves his legs even slightly, the pain from his groin makes him feel like he's about to ascend to heaven.

Therefore, Fang Sheng deliberately acted as if he was about to collapse and was in a state of despair.

If Yang Shan dares to take up his knife and attack, Fang Sheng will show Yang Shan what Desperate Ground counterattack by Dou Wang expert is all about!

Seeing Yang Shan raise the Thunderbolt Blade, Fang Sheng became excited.

The chance to kill Yang Shan has arrived! Fang Sheng's mind raced with urgency:

"Quick! Come and chop me down!"

Then Fang Sheng saw Yang Shan swiftly sheath the Thunderbolt Blade Sheath.

Yang Shan spread his arms.

The left palm is purple lightning, and the right palm is blue fire.

Fang Sheng: "."
