Murderous Trap at the City Lord's Manor

"Refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

Pang Biao slapped the table and shot to his feet, killing intent blazing around him!

Yuan Qiupeng and the others merely shot him sidelong glances, paying him no mind.

What was a Half-step Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator putting on such airs for?

If not for the city lord's sake, they would have made their move long ago. Why would they let him bark orders here?

"Since you refuse to cooperate, we can only take you down!"

Qin Fengtian spoke up as well.

"Just you?"

Yuan Qiupeng swept his gaze over Qin Fengtian's group of five!

He was not bragging—those five truly were not worth mentioning!

He alone could K.O. all five of them in a one-on-one fight!

"Is that so?"

Qin Fengtian narrowed his eyes meaningfully.

Just then, tens of thousands of talismans began appearing around the City Lord's Manor, forming a grand array!

Sensing that something was wrong, Yuan Qiupeng and the other three immediately used their own methods to flee outside.

They were all old hands of the martial world, so naturally, they had no shortage of life-preserving tricks.

A purple gourd appeared in Yuan Qiupeng's hand!

This was a Profound Artifact!

Magical artifacts in the cultivation world were generally divided into Mortal Artifacts, Spirit Artifacts, Profound Artifacts, Heavenly Artifacts, Saint Artifacts...

Within and beyond Great Xia, Mortal Artifacts were the most widely circulated, and Spirit Artifacts were not uncommon either. But Profound Artifacts were already luxuries—even with money, one might not be able to buy one.

"Open sesame!"

Yuan Qiupeng removed the purple gourd's stopper and muttered the words. A powerful sword qi blasted out, directly cutting open a gap in the array!

"Just you wait, you bastards!"

After leaving behind that threat, he slipped through the opening!

"You've gotten yourselves into deep trouble!"

Zhou Shanchuan bit his finger and dotted his forehead several times with blood, then directly grabbed his younger brother Zhou Shanshi and vanished from where they stood!

"Oh my! You gentlemen are truly so rough!"

Yi Hongxia took out a Great World-Breaking Talisman and fled as well!

"Heaven and Earth Inversion!"

Qin Fengtian sneered. An array disk appeared in his hand, and he tapped it several times.

At that moment, the stone pillars outside Xiaolin City erupted with intense light, followed by churning clouds and mist within the city.

The talismans around the City Lord's Manor also erupted with red light!

Then, four of them suddenly ignited on their own.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Four black holes appeared above the City Lord's Manor, and four figures fell out of them!

They were Yuan Qiupeng's group of four!

The four of them looked at one another in utter bewilderment before glancing around at their surroundings!

"What a Heaven and Earth Inversion!"

Yuan Qiupeng's expression darkened. His entire aura erupted as he prepared to fight with everything he had!

The Zhou brothers and Yi Hongxia also watched Qin Fengtian's group of five vigilantly.

"We exchanged a few polite words with you earlier, and you really started thinking you were important figures?"

Pang Biao walked to the center of the hall and kicked Zhang You aside first!

"Damn it! Just you wait..."

Zhang You cursed inwardly without end!

Yuan Qiupeng and the others stared coldly at Pang Biao, this Half-step Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator!

Was he looking down on them that much?

Just then, the surrounding talismans flared brilliantly with red light again. An invisible force descended, forcibly suppressing Yuan Qiupeng and the others' cultivation realms to the Half-step Foundation Establishment Realm!

Meanwhile, Pang Biao's realm directly rose to the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

What a fucking brilliant method!

Seeing this, Zhang You clicked his tongue in amazement!

Shopkeeper Li and his group had prepared remarkably thoroughly!

Zhang You had pretended to faint solely so he could secretly observe the other side's methods.

Otherwise, if he charged in headfirst, the danger level would be extremely high!

"So this is what the Foundation Establishment Realm feels like? It really is powerful!"

Pang Biao stretched his body, feeling strength fill every inch of him!

If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching for the author instead. It may simply have been renamed!

"Shopkeeper Li, Boss Ren, you should make your moves as well. End this quickly, lest further complications arise. We still have important matters to attend to later!"

Tang Julou spoke at this point, unwilling to drag things out any longer.

There were still some active elements in the city who needed to be dealt with!

Shopkeeper Li and Boss Ren nodded and stood up as well.

Black Bear Fist!

Pang Biao charged straight at Yi Hongxia, his sandbag-sized fist smashing toward her face!

Enchanting Sound, Silent Heartbreak!

Now that she was at a disadvantage, Yi Hongxia did not dare let her guard down. She raised her hand and unleashed a stream of pink spiritual power.

Bang!

Pang Biao was directly enveloped by it.

Shopkeeper Li chose the Zhou brothers!

At this moment, the two brothers unleashed their fusion ultimate technique, actually becoming a two-headed, four-armed creature.

Shopkeeper Li did not hold back either. Every move was a killing blow, and the two sides fought back and forth fiercely.

Boss Ren fought Yuan Qiupeng with some helplessness.

For a time, spiritual power surged wildly, filling the entire City Lord's Manor.

Meanwhile, Tang Julou and Qin Fengtian sat there without the slightest concern, still sipping tea!

About a quarter of an hour passed!

Roar!

A black bear's roar rang out from Yi Hongxia's side. A massive bear paw soared into the sky before slamming down viciously.

Splat!

Yi Hongxia was directly smashed into a puddle of flesh, dead beyond any doubt!

Over on Zhang Lin's side, he absorbed a strand of blue-white qi!

He looked at Pang Biao's condition in surprise.

At this moment, Pang Biao's body had grown thick black hair all over. He could barely still be considered human.

But his right arm was two or three zhang long and had already become a black bear's forelimb!

What the hell was that?

The following scene shocked Zhang Lin even more!

Pang Biao's arm shrank back, while his head directly transformed into a black bear's head. He scooped up Yi Hongxia's mangled flesh and began wolfing it down with great relish!

Was Pang Biao a human or a demon?

Zhang Lin was completely dumbfounded too!

"You cultivate the Form Transformation method! You abandoned your human body!"

Yuan Qiupeng frowned as he looked at Pang Biao, who was feasting heartily over there!

Human cultivators generally followed two paths.

One was a cultivation method that abandoned the human body and became a monster's body, known as Form Transformation. This method allowed people to gain greater power and stronger physical bodies, but their spiritual power weakened, and their humanity gradually vanished. Its talent requirements were low!

But Great Xia had always forbidden this method. Once discovered, its practitioners would certainly be executed on the spot!

The other was a cultivation method that retained the human body and cultivated step by step, known as Form Preservation. This method followed the proper path without taking shortcuts. Advancement was slow, but spiritual power was powerful. Its talent requirements were high!

Clearly, Pang Biao was the former! He had become a black bear-bodied creature.

Dawn True Art: Wing Slash!

In only a short while, the fused Zhou brothers were also cleaved in half on the spot by Shopkeeper Li, and their corpses were directly drained into mummies!

Shopkeeper Li had also chosen the Form Transformation method!

Zhang Lin obtained another weakened strand of blue-white qi!

"You're the only one left. Why not surrender directly? You can't escape anyway!"

Seeing that the battles on the other two sides had already ended, Boss Ren spoke helplessly.

"Hahaha! Interesting!"

Yuan Qiupeng suddenly burst into laughter!

He then struck his own chest, directly spraying the blood in his mouth into the purple gourd in his hand.

The purple gourd's radiance surged!

"Go!"

He aimed the gourd's mouth at Boss Ren and shouted.

More than a hundred streams of sword qi burst forth, shooting in every direction!

Not only Boss Ren, but the other four—and even Zhang Lin—were within the attack range!

Heart-Shattering Palm!

Alarm bells rang wildly in Boss Ren's heart, and he hurriedly retreated!

Zhang Lin cursed endlessly as well, wondering whether he should save himself!
