Chapter 1791: Battle

gatekeeper about the identities and hiding places of all the assassins lurking in Sanwu City. Because of the mission, the gatekeeper released the news and gathered the assassins, who are now hiding i...The distant mountains are like layers of blue-grey ink.

The earth is a vast expanse of verdant greenery.

In the forest, ten thousand trees vie for glory. Ancient trees with trunks several people could embrace are visible everywhere.

The stream meanders through the forest, the riverbank is dotted with lush green grass and vibrant flowers, a flourishing scene.

The only downside is that you can't hear anything here.

The sounds of the wind, insects, and animals are all inaudible.

There was no sound, which meant there were no living beings here. There was no wind, so the grasses and trees did not sway.

Here is a rare place of peace within the vast jungle, yet there is an eerie silence that pervades it, like a realistic painting drawn on nothingness. Being here, one might not feel tranquility, but perhaps fear instead.

For some time now, peace has been shattered.

But this place is very stable, and the jungle only makes slight tremors.

Above the jungle was a vibrant azure sky, as if winds of blue were piling there, forming a heavy wall and interspersed with faint golden light.

“Whoosh!”

A crack appeared in the azure sky, torn open from the outside world. Then a meteor plummeted from the heavens.

"Boom!"

Here's the translated text:

A meteor streaked across the sky and plunged directly into the forest, causing widespread devastation.

Around the crash site, the shockwaves spread in all directions, causing the treetops to sway and ripple like waves of green.

The center was in ruins, with thick trees snapped and ancient trees toppled. The ground also showed a human-shaped pit.

Then, a flash of light appeared in the deep pit. With a whoosh, a figure shot out and looked up at the top, his face uncertain.

The rift in the skywall slowly closed, but a figure strode out from within. It was Li Hou.

As for the one who was knocked down, it was naturally Qin Sang, who had been chased all the way by Li Hou.

"Aren't you going to run anymore"

Li Hou walked in the air with an unhurried stride, a playful smile in his eyes.

He first glanced around the space, looking slightly wary. Finding nothing out of the ordinary, he couldn't help but nod inwardly.

I didn't expect that there would be such a safe place in Mount Gushan.

This is undoubtedly a killing field, this person has found himself a prime burial ground!

Outside, one must guard against various unexpected impacts that prevent you from unleashing your full potential. The opponent can also use these to dodge your attacks, which is frustrating.

>

Otherwise, Li Hou believed he had already captured this prey.

Qin Sang's nostrils flared with a cold snort, his voice laced with anger and defiance.

He raised his right arm, the robe on it torn, revealing three horrifying claw marks on his skin.

He has many similar scars on his body.

Though this robe is a magic treasure, it cannot withstand the sharp claws of Li Hou and has already become tattered.

Scratches tore at the skin, revealing red flesh, but not to the point of bone being visible.

Firstly, Li Hou did not have the chance to make a full-strength attack. Secondly, Qin Sang constantly circulated the Vajra Heavenly Armor Seal to protect himself, comparable to wearing golden armor.

Qin Sang first time only relying on the Diamond Heavenly Crown Seal to withstand the attack of a Nascent Soul mid-stage expert.

Prior to hunting down the tortoise and wood dragon, one was injured and the other had allies at his side. Qin Sang effortlessly dealt with them, only using his strength to deflect the aftermath.

Upon trying it out, each time he was struck head-on, his physical energy would be greatly depleted. Thankfully, the power did not disappoint him.

With the help of Tianmu Butterfly's separation divine light, Qin Sang felt that he didn't need to use other protective artifacts or magical powers to directly confront Li Hou's sharp claws.

This gave Qin Sang another boost of confidence.

Most importantly, the moment Qin Sang entered, he immediately sensed a surge of abundant wood spirit energy. It was the treasure trove he had been searching for!

Blood and Qi rushed to the wound, stopping the bleeding instantly, and the claw marks gradually closed.

He stared fixedly at Li Hou, with a desperate air, but was not eager to unleash the power of his spirit wood body.

Li Hou is not like the Lei Gui or Mu Jiao. This demon is a demon marquis, with intelligence, decisiveness, and supernatural powers that far surpass those of ferocious beasts. When faced with a perilous situation, it will flee.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Qin Sang's purpose was not only to defeat his opponent, but also to seize the opportunity to kill him!

If he could bring back the corpse of a Nascent Soul Stage demon marquis, not only could he exchange it for the qualification to ascend the ranks, but he could also propose more conditions to the Dao Court.

To deal with such an opponent, strategy is needed.

Of course, this is just a preliminary idea. If it doesn't work out, he will find a way to get rid of Li Hou and look for other targets.

Unaware of the gaze, like that of a wolf, Li Hou smiled and licked his lips, revealing a greedy look.

For humankind, a demonic beast is a treasure from head to toe.

The opposite is also true.

The Dao Court and the Ghost Fang Nation had been at odds for a long time. As the demon marquis, it hadn't even enjoyed the delicacies of the Immortal Dong Xuan.

The only thing that made Lihou somewhat puzzled was Qin Sang's wings.

The pair of multi-character phoenix wings were incredibly realistic. They didn't look like treasures, but rather like they grew out of Qin Sang himself. Every time he flapped them, the lightning escape technique he used seemed more like an innate divine ability.

The fact is, Qin Sang only used the Phoenix Wing's own Thunder Escape technique. He hasn't consumed his true essence to invoke the Azure Bird's thunder power yet because he doesn't want to reveal his dual cultivation status.

In *Heavenly Demon Transformation*, having broken through the fifth layer, Phoenix Wing underwent a metamorphosis as well. Their Thunder Escape technique reached new heights, becoming a superior escape technique even without relying on Azure Pheasant Thunder Force.

"This marquis wants to see just how tough your hide is!"

With a sharp, piercing shriek echoing in the air, Li Hou vanished without a trace.

The soil beneath Qin Sang suddenly churned violently, sending up waves of mud that wreaked havoc on the nearby forest.

"Click!"

"Boom!"

Countless trees were snapped and fell to the ground, but the solid earth had already become a quagmire, instantly swallowed by mud waves.

In an instant, the area around Qin Sang within a radius of a thousand zhang transformed into a swamp. In the center of the swamp, a cavity appeared, directly facing Qin Sang.

Qin Sang immediately sensed something was wrong. A huge suction force erupted from the void, locking onto him.

"Click, click, click..."

Qin Sang's whole body shuddered with blood and flesh, his bones creaked, and he stood firm in the void. He was not sucked into the void, but this also caused his movements to deform, and he couldn't immediately escape from his original position.

Unnoticed, a claw the size of an infant's fist materialized above Qin Sang's head.

Here is the translation of your content:

The sharp claws had only three fingers, with black nails slightly curved like daggers, aiming at Qin Sang's crown and stabbing straight down!

If it was pierced, Qin Sang's head would be instantly blown open with a bloody hole.

With the Dayeye Butterfly helping with the watch, Qin Sang didn't even raise his head. The moment the sharp claws appeared, he spotted the opponent. His arms rose, both palms simultaneously performing the Destroying Demon Seal, facing the sharp claws head-on.

Only the sound of clashing metal could be heard. Qin Sang was struck with tremendous force, his body plummeting downward. In mid-air, he twisted slightly, absorbing the impact, and flew sideways, narrowly avoiding the gaping void.

Above, a peculiar and strange monster appeared.

This beast is shaped like a badger, only as tall as a child. Its whole body is black, covered from head to tail with fine scales.

Even a pair of small eyes are protected by scales. Once the eyes are closed, the entire body is flawless.

"Away with the wind ferret!"

Qin Sang's eyes narrowed slightly, recognizing the origin of this beast. Li Hou was actually a successful Li Feng Badger.

It's a pity that there is little information about the Li Feng Badger. Qin Sang wasn't sure what kind of bloodline supernatural powers it had, but judging from Li Hou's performance just now, it seemed to be related to earth manipulation.

Li Hou, who had taken on his demonic form, rolled his eyes and fixed his gaze on Qin Sang's palm.

At this time, Qin Sang had three crimson claw marks on the palm of his hand, but they did not cause serious injuries. With a slight circulation of qi and blood, he recovered as before.

Li Hou showed a humanized expression of surprise. It directly revealed its demonic form, clearly intending to strike swiftly and decisively.

The power of the demon form surpassed that of its human form, yet its claw failed to cripple Qin Sang's palm.

Unbeknownst to them, this is precisely the effect of the combined power of the interlocking divine light and the Vajra Heavenly Helm Seal.

Qin Sang discovered that the divine light of separation and conjunction not only weakened supernatural powers but also could disperse the force of Li Hou's attack.

He and Tianmu Die hadn't yet fully comprehended the principle of separation and combination in divine light. Based on his superficial understanding, it could be likened to a smooth convex surface formed by the divine light. No matter how concentrated the force was, when it came into contact with the convex surface, it would dissipate due to the difficulty of exerting force.

Of course, it's definitely not that simple.

The forceful division is equivalent to being weakened. The power of the spirit insect's supernatural powers already surpasses that of cultivators and demon cultivators of the same rank. With the Vajra Heavenly Robe Seal resisting, only then would there be such a display.

Qin Sang guessed what Li Hou was thinking, and let out a cold snort, as if making peace. "You and I have no mortal feud, water from different wells doesn't interfere. Why must Li Hou be so ruthless"

Li Hou remained unmoved, staring intently at Qin Sang's palm, his eyes darting back and forth rapidly.

Because the divine light of separation is intangible and colorless, it can adhere to Qin Sang's body surface, invisible to the naked eye.

It snorted coldly, not believing that an opponent with a lower realm could have such strong defenses that it was rendered helpless.

Qin Sang caught a glimpse of the badger's shadow and his heart skipped a beat. He swung his arm outwards with force, forming a huge dark shadow with the power of Buddha's seal.

'Bang!' Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

As soon as the two sides clashed, Li Hou's true form had already appeared on Qin Sang's other side.

In a blink of an eye, countless badger phantoms appeared around Qin Sang, encircling him so he couldn't move.

Though their postures varied, the weasels all shared one thing: their claws were aimed at Qin Sang’s vital points.

Only the constant 'bang bang' sound could be heard, Qin Sang almost spun in circles non-stop, his palms striking out repeatedly, palm winds like thunder, shattering each badger shadow.

Here's the translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

A human and a demon battled, their clashing energies whipping up a frenzy that tore through the undergrowth. The force of their fight sent mud and broken branches swirling, forming a gray vortex that followed them like a shroud, leaving devastation in its wake – deep trenches carved into the forest floor.

At the center of the tornado, their figures were almost invisible.

Suddenly, there was a deafening blast as the tornado erupted, spewing filth and polluting half the sky. Mud rained down like bullets, and Qin Sang folded his hands before his chest, being sent flying backwards once more.

But he was still unhurt!

Li Hou, standing high above, looked down upon Qin Sang. The war intent in his eyes burned brighter than ever. He spread his claws, and a light orb appeared on the palm of each hand, transforming into two illusory shadows that wrapped around his talons.

The next moment, Li Hou's paws were adorned with a pair of chillingly sharp claw sheaths, fitting snugly.

Demons cultivators dislike extraneous objects, but that doesn't mean they don't understand how to utilize outside forces.

Seeing the claw sheath, Qin Sang's expression grew several points heavier. He knew this treasure was tailor-made for Li Hou, its power must be extremely strong, at least pseudo-spirit treasure level. The Vajra Celestial Helmet Mark and the Harmony God Light might not be able to completely resist it.

Before Qin Sang could even think, Li Hou closed in again, his sharp claws aimed straight at Qin Sang's chest.

Qin Sang suddenly twisted his body, his thunder wings flapping rapidly. His figure twisted to such an extent that it didn't affect other actions in the slightest. With both hands forming seals, he combined strength and softness, using force to tightly entangle the claws, and instantly flew back a hundred meters by borrowing the rebounding power.

But these alone would not be enough to stop Li Hou.

Before Qin Sang could stand firm, another gust of evil wind swept in. Qin Sang had no choice but to activate his Thunder Wings and desperately fought against Hou Zhou with the "Seven Buddhas' Impressions" technique.

This time, the momentum of the two sides' clash was not as intense as before, but the danger level was even more serious.

Only a flash of electricity and a gray shadow could be seen, striking from the sky to the ground and from the ground to the sky. The battlefield was almost spread across most of the jungle space.

Gradually, a sense of wonder began to arise in Li Hou's heart.

It found that although it could keep pressing the opponent, the opponent's combat experience was extremely rich. Relying on powerful escape techniques and defense, they dodged as many attacks as possible, and when unavoidable, they took the damage head-on. They focused on dodging the fatal blow from the claws.

Despite Li Hou's efforts, he was unable to completely restrain Qin Sang in place.

You have to know, its fighting instinct is comprehended from the bloodline, with the deep imprints of ancestors in it. Even without experiencing a bloody battle, its fighting instinct is extraordinary.

Qin Sang's physical combat instinct was not inferior to hers, and even stronger, powerful enough to erase the gap in cultivation!

Li Hou once sparred with Yao Hou, a demon marquis of the same rank as Qin Sang. By virtue of his cultivation advantage, he could invoke the might of heaven and earth, causing his opponents to be restrained and unable to move freely. Few could withstand this sudden onslaught of wind and rain.

Qin Sang didn't seem to be affected in the slightest.

Either a demonic cultivator, or a star forged in countless battles!

The potential of such a person is beyond imagination. Once they grow up, they will surely become a major threat to the heart of the Ghost Country!

Li Hou didn't know it was the Diamond-like Great Free and Easy Print at work, his killing intent towards Qin Sang grew even stronger.

This person is very strong, but only within their own rank. Hou doesn't think Qin Sang is its opponent because it has only ever used its claws and claw sheaths.

However, there's no need to go all out.

Li Hou had already noticed that during the fight, Qin Sang's use of divine abilities was extremely taxing on him. In each instance of thunder escape and collision, his blood qi noticeably declined, and his essence energy was being consumed at a rapid rate.

It was also consuming, but Qin Sangxiu's cultivation was inferior to it, and his consumption rate was faster than its.

It only needs to keep attacking Qin Sang, and in a short time it will be able to find the flaw and win easily, why not

Upon thinking of this, the Marquis' attack momentarily slowed.

Meanwhile, the earth roared, and the entire jungle trembled violently.

The earthen soil boards hardened into rock, then rose high, twisting and deforming.

'Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!'

Shadows surged from the ground, charging towards Qin Sang.

It turned out to be a badger beast transformed from rocks.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Before the badger beast even got close, it was shattered by Qin Sang's consecutive attacks. Dust flew everywhere, swirling and not dissipating, turning the void into a vast quagmire that trapped Qin Sang deep within, unable to free himself.

Li Hou moved like a ghost in the dirt, forcing Qin Sang to fight with all his might and leaving him no room to escape.

Sensing Qin Sang's steadily waning aura, Li Hou revealed a cruel smile, while also harboring a degree of caution in his heart.

A cornered animal will still fight, let alone a master like Donghuang.

Smoke billowed everywhere, the sky turning a sickly yellow, growing thicker by the minute.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, the smoke gathered in the middle and condensed into rocks out of thin air.

Only the sound of 'thump, thump' could be heard as countless rocks enveloped Li Hou, like a stone armor. His small badger-like body transformed into a gigantic stone beast nearly a hundred meters tall. His fists, like heavenly hammers, smashed fiercely forward.

'Bang!'

A figure was smashed directly into the ground.

Li Hou divided his armor and went out, his expression involuntarily tightening.

On the ground stood an ancient tree, slowly rising up, with surging energy of wood spirits flowing in all directions!
