Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 296 Dragon and Tiger Fight

The strength of the Huang family of Penglai lies not in their puppets and spirit houses, but in their spirit beasts!

The Huang family of Penglai, also known as the Beast Taming Huang family.

Above, there are ancestral methods of beast taming and cultivation; below, countless sea beasts from the Western Sea have sacrificed their lives.

As a result, almost all the cultivators in this family are beast tamers, and their storage bags contain at least one or two, or even several dozen, spirit beasts.

Huang Song had an extraordinary number of spirit beasts. In addition to the Fire Golden Crow he had used before, there was also a third-tier spirit beast, a third-tier Flood Dragon Horse, a third-tier Golden Crab, and a third-tier Mad Shark King, as well as a large number of first and second-tier followers that these third-tier spirit beasts originally commanded.

Seeing such a spectacle, Su Qing wished he could drag Pang Feifan over to see how this beast tamer was doing his job!

If Pang Feifan had even a fraction of Huang Song's abilities, and Su Qing, who held 80% of his shares, would have no shortage of puppet materials, he could have more than enough materials on the spot.

Now is not the time to envy Huang Song. These spirit beasts are puppet materials when they are dead, but when they are alive, they are ruthless things that can take Su Qing's life.

"Fellow Daoist Su, be careful! These spirit beasts are all inscribed with runes by Huang Song, and they are far beyond the reach of ordinary spirit beasts. Do not be careless!"

Seeing that Huang Song's puppet had been destroyed and that Huang Song had become angry and summoned a spirit beast to bully Su Qing, Liu Yun'er felt a pang of anxiety and spoke up to warn him.

She never reminded me of this before!
Having just been reprimanded by his father, the sect leader, Shi Zhifang saw Liu Yun'er, who was anxious and worried about Su Qing. He felt that this hurt was even more severe than the stern iron fist of his father.

On the arena, Su Qing, reminded by the witch, turned her gaze to the several third-tier demonic beasts.

Sure enough, runes were flashing on the bodies of these spirit beasts.

Although the Myriad Manifestations Talisman Paper recognized only a few runes, such as the divine beast runes on the dragon horse, the material runes on the golden crab, the damage reduction runes, and the berserk runes on the Mad Shark King.

But that's enough. At least as the opponent of these spirit beasts, Su Qing wished that all the runes on their bodies were low-end runes, so that they wouldn't receive any blessing from this Myriad Manifestations Talisman Paper.

What kind of skill is it to receive a talisman's blessing!

What kind of skill is it to bully the few by relying on numbers?

Su Qing angrily cursed Huang Song for being unscrupulous, taking advantage of the fact that these spirit beasts were not yet firmly established.

Covered in shimmering runes, he summoned Leopard Head Ben, Tiger Ben, and Leopard Run, leading the Iron-Eating King Beast and a multitude of puppets that were just as numerous as, if not fewer than, spirit beasts, and charged into the spirit beast horde.

He didn't know how many times Consort Yao had bled him today without his knowledge, so the Iron-Eating Beast had followed him and hadn't disappeared yet. It still wielded the stick as smoothly as ever, and its movements were still so enchanting and agile.

Unfortunately, this beast was the incarnation of an ancient hero. The ancient Jiuli clan condensed the Jiuli Dao Pattern, but they were ignorant and incompetent, and failed to comprehend the runes from these Dao Patterns to imprint them on this Iron-Eating King Beast.

As a result, without the talisman on its body or the blessing of the Myriad Manifestations Talisman Paper, the Iron-Eating King Beast was already overwhelmed when facing a single Flood Dragon King. It was blocked by the demonic light and beastly aura spewed out by that ugly thing with a dragon's head and a horse's body, and could not get close enough to show its power.

Although the Iron-Eating King Beast could not achieve any immediate success, it was clad in armor and had thick fur and flesh, so it would be safe for the time being.

Su Qing felt relieved and rode the Leopard Head Gallop, unleashing a barrage of spirit explosions and fire cannons that sent small beasts flying. With its tiger claws, nine tails, six hands, and three guns moving in unison, it slaughtered spirit beasts, leaving corpses strewn everywhere, until it reached a desolate place.

The killing was temporarily stopped only when the golden crab and the Mad Shark King blocked their way.

The remaining spirit beasts can be dealt with by other puppets such as the Earth Bear King, the Dragon-Snake Wood Spirit, and the Golden Iron Beast.

At this moment, he was only focused on dealing with the golden crab and the King Shark.

The Golden Crab is a mutated sea monster with a body as hard as a spirit. It has two large claws that hold a battle spear that is over ten feet long. It is skilled in demonic combat techniques and has extremely strong close combat ability. With the addition of material runes and damage reduction runes, it becomes even more troublesome.

Shark King is a bullying-type sea beast with a shark's head and body, dorsal fins that transform into hands, and a shark's tail that becomes legs. It has a large mouth and sharp teeth and wields a third-tier whalebone fork. In battle, it can transform into a berserk form, and with the runes on its body, its strength more than doubles.

The two third-tier demonic beasts, both overlords of the Western Sea, possessed fierce demonic power and great abilities. They joined forces to attack, their battle spears and bone forks stirring up water tornadoes. Each strike carried the immense power inherent in demonic beasts, using demonic power to counter demonic power, attempting to break through the demonic power barrier and qi and blood energy surrounding the Tiger King.

This was the first time Su Qing had encountered a close-combat opponent as troublesome as a third-tier body cultivator since she started wearing the Tiger Egg armor.

Compared to the Golden Core cultivator who was easily bullied by him when he got close, the third-tier demon beast had thick skin and flesh, and was skilled in combat. Every move he made was powerful and heavy, and its demonic aura was strong. In close combat, it was extremely difficult for him to gain the upper hand!

The Nine-Tailed Demon King stirred up wind and thunder, attempting to force the Shark King back for a moment. Its tiger claws emitted a breathtaking spiritual light, and its six hands and three spears unleashed a powerful dragon roar, aiming directly at the Golden Crab Demon's vital energy.

Bang bang bang!
The Tiger Claw of Absolute Spirit suppressed the Golden Crab's attempt to mobilize its demonic power for defense.

The Overlord Spear fell on the blood-stained area that had been stacked up to eighteen layers high.

With a series of cracking sounds, the golden crab traversed the western sea, its indestructible golden shell splitting open.

Just as Su Qing was about to press on and use the tiger's claws to smash the three spears into the demon's body, breaking its flesh and destroying its golden core.

Suddenly, a tremendous force struck from behind. Turning around, he saw the Shark King using its demonic technique of swallowing heaven and earth, biting down on the Wind and Thunder Nine-Tail. The giant shark, with its vicious mouth, held onto the Nine-Tail tightly, twisting its head and swaying its body, making him unsteady.

Although this nine-tailed beast was transformed from the armored puppet Feng Lei Lu Wu, when it bit the tail, Hu Dan felt no pain, but he felt no pain in his heart.

The Wind and Thunder Nine-Tailed Fox is one of the two core abilities that Tiger Egg inherited from Lu Wu. If it is broken, it might take him several hundred spirit stones to repair it. He usually uses it carefully, so how could he bear to let it be swallowed by this vicious shark?

A tiger's roar, a tyrant's roar condensed into the tiger's might, is the Tyrant Tiger Roar!

As the roar subsided, the shark king was terrified. After only a moment's hesitation, Su Qing rescued the Wind and Thunder Nine-Tailed Fox.

Just as the Shark King was about to fight again, he saw a yellow leopard shadow rushing straight towards him. The leopard shadow was too fast. As an aquatic monster, the Shark King, who was not very agile on land, could not dodge in time. He only had time to condense a demonic water shield in front of him before the leopard shadow broke through the shield.

With a series of booming sounds, the Spirit Explosion Flame Cannon, bursting through the protective demonic shield, unleashed its firepower with unrestrained force.

A barrage of artillery fire blasted the Shark King into a bloody mess, unleashing its berserk form.

Leopard Head Ben made great contributions, but it was not a fighting puppet after all. Su Qing was afraid that it would be injured by Shark King, so he called it back into the storage bag.

Suddenly, his tiger-like might surged, and the two golden wings that were originally just for decoration spread out behind him, stirring up a yellow and black demonic wind, which temporarily blew away the berserk shark king for a moment.

Turning back, I focused on preparing the golden crab that had just had a chance to catch its breath.

At this moment, he had already used the transformation technique to become a true third-tier demon king, the Golden-Winged Black Tiger.

The high-ranking demon king, Armored Puppet Wind and Thunder Lu Wu, is awe-inspiring, possessing even greater demonic power and might. He can also utilize all the demonic arts and combat techniques known to the Golden Winged Black Tiger and Wind and Thunder Lu Wu!

With his current blood and energy, he could only maintain this state for about twenty breaths, which was longer than the Netherworld Magic Form of Master Shi, but only by a limited amount.

Within a limited timeframe, we must utilize this immense power to its fullest potential and achieve a swift victory.

The six hands and three guns continued to move as before, but the golden wings on its back could still burst out hundreds of golden demonic lights to transform into the shape of a demonic tiger, attacking the golden crab together. The nine tails of wind and thunder, which were still covered with shark saliva, summoned wind and thunder to help them. The tiger claws in its hands contained the power to collapse mountains and split the land.

Poor Golden Crab, with only two large claws and a spear, though his combat skills were superb, and one spear could match the six hands and three spears on Su Qing's back, he could never withstand the Golden Winged Tiger King's innate demonic arts, the Golden Winged Demon Tiger Light and the Fierce Tiger Mountain Cracking!

With its demonic tiger claws and nine tails unleashing wind and thunder, the golden crab, which could only barely withstand the three Tyrant Dragon Roar Spears, had its flesh torn apart and its demon core shattered.

The tiger turned its head, and there was the shark king, its eyes bloodshot, wildly wielding its bone fork, riding a water dragon, charging towards it with overwhelming force!
"Well done!"

The Shark King possesses ferocious power, but little does he know that the Nine Li Dao Pattern also has the ability to fight with unyielding spirit, becoming braver and stronger with each battle, and it is especially effective when the weak fight the strong.

Although Su Qing now possesses a temporary furnace lid, is close to a third-tier body cultivator, has transformed into a third-tier demon tiger, wears a third-tier armored puppet, and has several battle armors, seemingly making him much stronger than the Shark King.

But let's say he's a second-tier body cultivator now.

If he's a second-tier body cultivator, then he's not as strong as this third-tier Shark King!

The ancient demon beast, hundreds of years old, used its cultivation level to suppress this young man, and Jiuli Daowen naturally couldn't stand by and watch, so it offered to help him!

The weak overcome the strong; the weak are unyielding, and the strong are skilled in battle.

The Dao patterns of Jiuli echo the Jiuli Blood Armor.

Beyond the tiger's demonic power, a wild, blood-red light appeared, ignoring the raging demonic power emanating from the shark king's body.

Sharks are raging, tigers are restless; you're mad, I'm violent.

The two clashed fiercely, their battle raging with exhilarating intensity. Su Qing was thoroughly enjoying the fight, while Shark King was thoroughly enjoying the beatings he was receiving.

It's a one-on-one battle between tiger sharks, a fair fight.

The thief's unscrupulous underhanded tactics ruined the battle.

However, Huang Song was heartbroken and furious when he saw Su Qing kill his Golden Crab. He waved his feather fan and unleashed thousands of points of blue light. The points of light pierced through the puppets on the battlefield and rushed straight towards Su Qing with overwhelming force.

The fan sways, illuminating the sunlight.

Su Qing had received a warning from the witch and had also witnessed Shi Zhifang being beaten.

He dared not underestimate the power of this fan. While dealing with the Shark King, a hand behind him took out a crescent-shaped ring with several pairs of bells on it. Shaking the ring made the bells ring, and a hazy moonlight, carrying a few wisps of mist, surged out from the ring, blocking his way and facing the bright blue light of the sun.

The Moon Invitation Ring is a magical artifact similar to the Shaking Light Fan, but it depends on who is using it. Su Qing is not the owner of this treasure, and his magical cultivation is only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even if only a small portion of her magic power is used to activate this artifact, its power may only be one-tenth or one-twelfth of what the witch used when she used this treasure.

Such power could hardly completely block the radiant blue light of the sun. Without hesitation, he took out the witch's gift again, a jade hairpin with a star map pattern interwoven with blue and green.

The jade hairpin moved as if it had parted a galaxy, and the starlight gathered together, falling like rain in an instant, helping the moonlight and clouds to counteract the blue light of the sun.

The stars, moon, and sun vie for attention; the scene is truly magnificent.

But Su Qing's expression was not good.

Huang Song was a Golden Core cultivator and a scion of a prestigious family. He was not lacking in Taoist arts and techniques, and his storage bag contained countless treasures besides the Yaoguang Fan.

It would be better to get close to him as soon as possible rather than fight him, but with the Shark King entangled right now, he can't get away for the time being. If the Shark King attacks him from a distance with his magic weapons and techniques, how many more times can he block it after he can block it once?

This is just bullying honest people!

His face looked bad, and Huang Song's face looked even worse.

He thought that after defeating Shi Zhifang, he would have no rivals on this arena. Although he didn't care much about the talisman inheritance, bringing it back to the family would still be a merit, and would make his father and many mothers happy.

But unexpectedly, Master Fang fell, and Tiger King stood up.

A mere third-tier demon beast, it used to only serve as the Huang family's spirit beast, at their beck and call. How could it be qualified to fight him!

Huang Song is suffering now.

He had just fought Shi Zhifang, and not only had he not recovered most of his magical power, but many of his techniques had also been seen by the Fierce Tiger King. For example, the Shaking Light Fan. If he hadn't used it just now, why would the Fierce Tiger King have prepared the Inviting Moon Ring and the Starfall Hairpin specifically to target his Shaking Light Fan?

If the Nest House hadn't been used earlier, and its internal array and cannons hadn't been depleted by the master's forces, why would the Fierce Tiger King have launched a fierce attack on the Nest House as soon as it appeared on stage, causing this fourth-tier spiritual creature, the Battle Fortress, to retreat from the battlefield so early!

The "relay battle" was a vicious attack launched against Huang Song by the Desire Demon Sect!

After Master Fang, there is the Fierce Tiger King. After the Fierce Tiger King, there are several Golden Core elders below the Desire Demon Sect. Liu Yun'er, Master Lijing!
I wondered why the old Taoist priest who made the talismans didn't go on stage. It turns out he was cunning and shrewd, and had seen through the Desire Demon Sect early on that they were no good.

Outnumbered, they ganged up on me, a one-man army!
Isn't this just blatant bullying of honest people?

Are you bullying me, Huang Song?
Is that even possible?

My father wouldn't agree, and neither would many of my mothers!

Huang Song's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He thought to himself that even if he had to step down from the stage later, he would make the Demon Sect pay the price before he did. He would make the Tiger King die on the stage, take its corpse, take its puppet, and seize its magic weapon!

The two men, whose faces were grim, launched an even fiercer and more ruthless attack.

Su Qing caught the Shark King and gave it a good beating. Who told it to team up with its cowardly master to bully him, a poor rogue cultivator!

Huang Song then took out another red silk-like magical artifact and hurled it at Su Qing from afar, while simultaneously conjuring the superior-grade earth-level Daoist technique, the Golden Crow of the Sun.

The red gauze cloth, named Red Silk Cover, was a protective treasure given to him by his third sister before his departure. When placed in front of him, it can cover his body, forming a red gauze spiritual light shield to block spiritual power attacks. It can both isolate cultivators' divine sense from detection and defend against sneak attacks from unscrupulous cultivators.

At this moment, he only wanted to kill the tiger king as soon as possible, not to use it for self-defense, but to use it as a sealing artifact to restrain the tiger king's movements.

As the red canopy enveloped the Tiger King, slowing its movements, the golden crow that it conjured had already rushed in front of the Tiger King.

This time, the Golden Crow of the Sun did not use the Fire Golden Crow, and it did not have the power it had when it broke the Master's Fang Demon Light Great Handprint. However, even without the Fire Golden Crow to carry the Dao technique, the Dao technique itself was still a high-grade Earth level. The Tiger King was entangled by the Shark King and covered by the Red Luo Cover. If it faced this Dao technique directly, it would have no chance of survival.

"To have forced me to this point, Tiger King, you have every right to be proud as a third-tier demon beast, but this is the end!"

Huang Song put away his fan and descended from the clouds, ready to gracefully step down from the stage, not wanting to look back at what was happening behind him.

It seemed as if they were certain that the Tiger King was doomed.

But before he could take more than a few steps, he felt a scorching heat coming from behind him and heard a loud phoenix cry.

Huang Song turned around abruptly, and in his field of vision, he saw a third-tier Fire Phoenix King!
Phoenix King was engulfed in flames, fighting against the Golden Crow formed by the magic!
Tiger King Spraying Phoenix?

Who has ever seen this before? Who could have imagined it!
What's even more incredible is that the Fire Phoenix King seemed to be particularly favored by the Myriad Manifestations Talisman Paper. The moment it appeared, about half of the spiritual power within the Myriad Manifestations Talisman Paper was poured into its body.

The originally illusory Fire Phoenix King was made real, just like a real third-tier fire phoenix descending. The Sun Golden Crow could fight against this fire phoenix for a short time, but the Sun Golden Crow formed by Taoist magic would not last as long as the Fire Phoenix King!
Huang Song's mind tightened, finding it hard to believe that the Tiger King was so difficult to kill. He then flew into a rage, wondering if the Demon Sect had sent such a Tiger King specifically to target him, Huang Song.

How could your little Desire Demon Sect possibly know the abilities of the Huang family!
The Golden Crow of the Sun failed to achieve anything, and the Red Silk Cover was even swept away by the Nine-Tailed Tiger King.

Huang Song, his anger intensifying, reached out without hesitation and shook hands with the Tiger King from a distance.

Once this technique was used, a massive amount of talismanic light and spiritual power surged towards him from the Myriad Manifestations Talisman Paper.

These unusual phenomena drew the attention of all the cultivators below the stage.

Huang Song raised his noble head even higher, feeling that his constant support for the biased faction, for the Tiger King Qi Duo, and for his meager collection of Myriad Manifestation Talismans was finally making a semblance of legitimacy.

This is to be expected, because what he is using at this moment is the Five Elders Dao Pattern Seizing Mountains and Seas, which was passed down from the Venerable Deer of Penglai!

The Taoist technique derived from the Sheshan Hai, the Locking Heaven Hand, can lock the sky and capture people, causing their blood and energy to reverse and their spiritual power to surge chaotically, leaving them with no way to resist!

Huang Song had previously used this technique to defeat the Green Lion King in one move, and now he felt that the Fierce Tiger King should be the same.

Unexpectedly, just as he began to cast his spell, the tiger king opposite him also raised its claws and, mimicking the tiger's movements, reached out and bent its claws at him!
How ridiculous!

My Taoist arts were bestowed upon me by my fifth aunt after she brought countless spiritual treasures and stayed at the hermitage of the Mountain Deer Immortal for ten days and three nights.

You crude and vulgar tiger, trying to imitate others, it's truly laughable.

Before Huang Song could even laugh out loud, he saw the tiger claw clench, and the Myriad Manifestations Talisman Paper, like a fickle girl, had been passionately devoted to him just moments before, but in an instant, it threw itself into the arms of someone else.

Even more enthusiastic than before towards myself!

The talismanic energy poured down, making the tiger king's eyes gleam.

The spiritual power contained within that tiger's claw, capable of shaking mountains and seas, was even more turbulent and powerful than his own.

It seems even more authentic than him?

How is this possible? The Five Elders have been observing the mountains and seas, and have always been with the Mountain Deer Immortal. Could it be that the Fifth Sister did not stay with the Mountain Deer Immortal for long enough, so the Mountain Deer Immortal passed on low-end goods to her, while passing on high-end goods to this Tiger King instead?

Impossible. Master Shanlu has been away from Penglai for a long time, hoping to use this Dao pattern to comprehend the secrets of the Nascent Soul stage. This demonic tiger should not have had the opportunity to go to Penglai to seek a master and learn the art.

So how exactly did it learn to capture mountains and seas?

Huang Song, unable to understand it at all, let out a wild laugh but couldn't let it come out; it was stuck in his throat and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
