The Best Jumper Under Heaven

"That old dog Cheng Bushi actually used the Yin-Yang Mother-Child Array Flag to trap me!"

One step behind leads to another.

As Zhang Xuezhou cast his spell again, the Golden Toad Dharma King used his Law Power to observe the outside world and couldn't help but curse.

"Are the Yin-Yang Mother-Child Array Flags really that powerful?" Jin Wanliang asked doubtfully.

"This temporary formation isn't very useful for ordinary people, but for someone like Cheng Bushi, the enhancement it provides is terrifying. It can split Cheng Bushi's attack into two parts!" said the Golden Toad Dharma King.

"What do you mean, two segments?" Jin Wanliang asked, bewildered.

"This formation can turn one strike into two," said the Golden Toad Dharma King. "Although it won't grant him double the power of his attack, it will create an illusory impact, making the attacker feel as if they've been struck twice. The combination of reality and illusion makes it incredibly difficult to resist!"

"If I learn this formation, can the Tongue Nail Arrows be split into two?" Jin Wanliang asked.

"Yes!" Golden Toad Dharma King nodded.

"Kill him, Ancestor! Kill him! I want his formation!"

Jin Wanliang, who lacked his natal demon treasure, shouted.

Ever since losing the Golden Toad Robe, Jin Wanliang has wanted every kind of treasure he could find.

Only by possessing a reliable Law Treasure could Jin Wanliang feel that he could escape that feeling of helplessness.

He was a fifth-rank demon at the Consciousness Creation Realm, but he had fallen so low that he could only fight opponents of low caliber, such as those at the Meridian Circulation Realm and Blood Penetration Realm. The difference between these two levels was beyond description.

The Golden Toad Dharma King's explanation of the Yin-Yang Mother-Child Array Flags intrigued Jin Wanliang, who didn't even notice the Golden Toad Dharma King's unpleasant expression.

He shouted a few words, and then he heard the Golden Toad Dharma King speak up.

"Bring me the Law Treasure counting rods that I previously bestowed upon you!"

"Oh!"

Jin Wanliang responded, then reached into his crotch and found ten counting rods in his hand.

The Golden Toad Dharma King, feeling a headache coming on, took the counting rods. After reciting a mantra, the ten counting rods flew up.

Zhang Xuezhou saw ten faint lights streak across the gray sky like shooting stars, followed by a deafening, violent roar.

"You old dog, you poison me again!"

I'm not a dog!

The Golden Toad Dharma King's response was just as thunderous, and Zhang Xuezhou realized that the Golden Toad Dharma King was no longer beside him.

A sound like a heavy blade stirring up the wind and clouds swept across the sky. Zhang Xuezhou saw that the huge muddy swamp around him was beginning to dry up, revealing solid ground.

"The Ancestor has begun to draw upon the power of his hidden grotto-heavens; he must be trying to seize that old dog Cheng Bushi's Yin-Yang Mother-Child Array Flags for me!"

Upon seeing the unusual changes in his surroundings, Jin Wanliang couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

The Golden Toad Dharma King suffered repeated setbacks, but he couldn't withstand the fact that his opponent was the strongest among the Golden Toads.

If even the strongest member of the tribe is not blindly worshipped, Jin Wanliang really doesn't know who to worship.

He had an almost blind confidence in the Golden Toad Dharma King, believing that his ancestor was unmatched and that no one could possibly get the better of the Golden Toad Dharma King.

How did your ancestor get out?

Zhang Xuezhou looked around, still unable to understand why the Golden Toad Dharma King could disappear and leave, while he was trapped in this area.

"You don't understand the secret realms," Jin Wanliang said smugly. "Our ancestor is the master of these secret realms; he can leave with a mere thought!"

"What is a thought?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"It's just a matter of thinking about it. The Ancestor can let him go out or come in whenever he wants!" Jin Wanliang replied.

He gave Zhang Xuezhou a look that was almost like he was looking at an idiot.

Zhang Xuezhou was once praised by the Golden Toad Dharma King for his extraordinary intelligence at a young age, but Zhang Xuezhou lacked experience.

After comparing the two, Jin Wanliang finally regained his sense of balance.

It's almost universally acknowledged that demons are less intelligent than humans. While Jin Wanliang wasn't as clever as Zhang Xuezhou, he wasn't too disappointed. Once he realized his advantages over Zhang Xuezhou, he became happy.

After Zhang Xuezhou called out "Master Jin" a few times, and since the Golden Toad Dharma King was not present, Jin Wanliang couldn't keep anything to himself.

"So, as long as we whisper 'Thank you, Venerable Jiuyin, for your grace,' we can leave this secret cave?"

Having extracted the relevant information from Jin Wanliang, Zhang Xuezhou almost wanted to recite the activation incantation in his mind.

Like the invisibility talisman he used, the secret cave is also a special kind of Law Treasure, containing Law Treasure incantations.

But Zhang Xuezhou forcefully suppressed his instinct to try.

At this moment, the Golden Toad Dharma King and Cheng Bushi were engaged in a fierce battle outside. If he rashly intervened, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he would likely be beaten up by both sides, and might even die on the spot.

"Almost," Jin Wanliang said smugly, "But don't think you can go out at will just because you have a spell. If the ancestor doesn't agree, reciting the spell won't help!"

"That's for sure. Our ancestor is the master of this secret place, and we are just temporary guests. We can't overstep our bounds," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"What guest? You are a prisoner, I am a follower of the Ancestor," Jin Wanliang corrected.

"I've been healing the Ancestor for so many days, and he's treated me with great courtesy," Zhang Xuezhou said, displeased. "But you actually think of me as a prisoner!"

"Who told you not to be from the Golden Toad clan?" Jin Wanliang shook his head and said, "Besides, we are demons, and you are human. There's no way we can play together, let alone become good friends. Don't think you can rest easy just because you've made so many demands. Let me tell you..."

Jin Wanliang muttered a few words, about to reveal how to deal with Zhang Xuezhou, but then quickly stopped himself.

"It seems there's still a way to kill me!"

Through continued contact, Zhang Xuezhou gained a deeper understanding of Jin Wanliang.

If a normal IQ is 120, then Jin Wanliang's IQ is at most 100.

This made it difficult for Jin Wanliang to be perfect in the battle of wits, and he would occasionally take the opportunity to extract relevant information from him.

However, when the Golden Toad Dharma King was present, Jin Wanliang was always able to restrain himself quite well.

In the past, the Golden Toad Dharma King used coughing to remind people, but later Golden Toad Dharma King seem to have developed a special way of communicating. In fact, Jin Wanliang sometimes seemed to modify the content he was about to say when responding to Zhang Xuezhou.

Now that the Golden Toad Ancestor has left, Zhang Xuezhou has gotten to the most important part of the plan.

One issue concerns how to leave the hidden cave, and the other is that the Golden Toad Dharma King might still take his life.

After Jin Wanliang stopped talking, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but fall into a state of constant thought and estimation.

In battle, the Golden Toad Dharma King was clearly unable to concentrate, especially on Golden Toad Dharma King he greatly feared.

If he uses a spell, he might be able to escape this hidden paradise.

However, Zhang Xuezhou needed an excellent opportunity. This opportunity required avoiding the aftermath of the battle, preventing the Golden Toad Dharma King from controlling the secret cave, and ensuring that the Golden Toad Dharma King was too busy fleeing to capture him.

If any link in the chain goes wrong, even if Zhang Xuezhou escapes this hidden paradise, he will either die in the chaotic fighting or be casually captured and brought back by the Golden Toad Dharma King.

His current source of information is entirely from the sky.

In the overcast sky, rumbling sounds could be heard intermittently, mixed with shouts and curses.

"Cheng Bushi, I'll let this go this time, but I'll settle it with you next time!"

"You old golden toad, stop jumping around if you dare!"

"Old man, your bullet-jumping skills are unparalleled. You think you can catch me now that you've escaped that damned broken formation?"

The thunderous shouts of insults echoed through the sky. Zhang Xuezhou had a thought, and he was about to say "Thank you for your grace, Venerable Jiuyin" when he heard Cheng Bushi's cursing voice.

"If I had Li Guang's archery skills, you couldn't escape even if you jumped two hundred meters high!"

Upon hearing Cheng Bushi mention the height at which the Golden Toad Dharma King leaped, Zhang Xuezhou immediately abandoned his intention to recite the mantra.
