Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

In the previous chapter, Hua Qiangu, Bai Zihua, Dongfang Yuqing, and Luo Shiyi were in a quiet place, discussing their plan to enter Youying Valley in a lively discussion, focusing on the ancient diary they had found at the Demon Shadow Sect's stronghold. They were striving to make thorough preparations to deal with the many dangers ahead. However, just as they were about to get up and head to Youying Valley according to their plan, a commotion suddenly broke out outside. It seemed that someone was rushing towards their location, and judging from the noise, the approaching group seemed to be numerous and aggressive.

Hua Qiangu was startled and stood up abruptly, instinctively gripping her weapon tightly. Her eyes widened as she exclaimed, "What... what's going on? Why is there such a commotion all of a sudden! Could it be that the Shadow Demon Cult has come looking for us?!" Her voice was filled with obvious tension and worry. After all, she had just learned of the Shadow Demon Cult's power and didn't want to run into them again, especially when she wasn't fully prepared.

Dongfang Yuqing also hurriedly stood up, ran to the door and peeked out, then pulled back in, saying anxiously, "Oh dear, Bone! Judging from this, it really could be those guys from the Shadow Demon Cult! What should we do! Our plan isn't fully prepared yet. If we run into them, we'll be in big trouble!" As he spoke, he paced back and forth in the room, his steps hurried, his hands constantly rubbing together, appearing extremely agitated.

Bai Zihua remained calm. He slowly stood up, his expression stern, his hand on the hilt of his sword, his gaze fixed on the direction of the doorway. He said in a deep voice, "Don't panic, let's assess the situation first. Even if they are from the Shadow Demon Sect, they may not know our purpose here; they might just be passing by." Although he said this, he knew in his heart that the situation was not optimistic. After all, the Shadow Demon Sect had been searching for that mysterious treasure, and now that they had obtained relevant clues, the possibility of being discovered was not small.

Luo Shiyi gripped his weapon tightly, walked to Hua Qiangu's side, and whispered, "Little Bone, Your Excellency, Dongfang, whether they're from the Shadow Demon Cult or not, we have to be careful! If a fight breaks out, we can't afford to suffer losses." His eyes were filled with determination. Although he was also a little scared, he mustered his courage thinking about facing this together with everyone.

Just as everyone was on high alert, the commotion grew closer, and soon a group of people dressed in strange attire appeared before them. It was indeed the Shadow Cult!

The leader of the Shadow Cult was a tall, burly man with a face full of scars. When he saw Hua Qiangu and the others, he was taken aback at first, then a ferocious smile appeared on his face, and he shouted loudly, "Haha, it's like finding a needle in a haystack! You lot are actually here!"

Hua Qiangu angrily stepped forward, pointed at the man, and shouted, "What are you doing here again! Trying to bully us again! You were utterly defeated by us last time, and you still dare to come back this time? Did you not teach us a lesson last time enough?" Her face turned red, and her eyes were full of anger. She was clearly extremely annoyed by the reappearance of these people from the Shadow Demon Cult.

The leader of the Shadow Cult sneered and said disdainfully, "Hmph, little brat, we were careless last time! We won't let you succeed this time! If you know what's good for you, hand over the diary you took from our stronghold right now, or you'll be in for a world of hurt!" As he spoke, he brandished his broadsword, which gleamed coldly in the sunlight, exuding a strong sense of threat.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuqing flew into a rage, jumped up and shouted, "Oh ho! You dare to come and ask for the diary again! Keep dreaming! That diary is a clue we finally found. If we hand it over to you, the treasure will fall into the hands of you scoundrels! Don't even think about it!" He clenched his fists and waved them in the air, wishing he could rush up and fight the leader of the Shadow Demon Cult right away.

Bai Zihua frowned slightly and coldly said to the members of the Shadow Demon Sect, "Your Shadow Demon Sect has committed all sorts of evil deeds, searching everywhere for that treasure, just to satisfy your own selfish desires and use its power to do bad things! We will never let you succeed. If you leave now, you can still keep your lives. If you remain obstinate, then don't blame us for being impolite!" His voice was deep but carried an undeniable authority, and his eyes revealed a cold killing intent that chilled everyone to the bone.

The leader of the Shadow Cult laughed loudly, "Hahaha! You think you can be polite? Just a few of you? Don't you know your own strength! Today I'll show you what happens when you oppose the Shadow Cult! Brothers, charge! Take them down, retrieve the diary, and find the treasure!" At his command, the Shadow Cult members behind him surged towards Hua Qiangu and the others like a tidal wave.

Seeing this, Hua Qiangu shouted, "Everyone be careful! Prepare for battle!" With that, she took the lead, brandishing her weapon and charging towards the Shadow Cult members.

Dongfang Yuqing also shouted, "Bones, don't be afraid! Let's go together and beat them until they're running for their lives!" As he spoke, he charged forward without being outdone. A delicate folding fan had appeared in his hand at some point. The fan looked ordinary, but when he waved it, it could emit sharp streams of air that attacked the enemy.

Bai Zihua flashed into the enemy ranks like a ghost, his sword instantly drawn, its blade gleaming blindingly in the sunlight. He wielded his sword with deadly skill, each strike sending sprays of blood through the Shadow Cult members. Many of them were driven back before they could even get close.

Luo Shiyi gritted his teeth and shouted, "Xiao Gu, Your Majesty, Dongfang, I'm here to lend you a hand!" He gripped his weapon and charged toward the enemy. Although his strength was slightly inferior to the others, he fought bravely in the enemy ranks with his indomitable spirit.

In an instant, shouts of battle and the clash of weapons mingled together, and the scene descended into chaos.

Hua Qiangu shouted as she fought, "These guys are really tough! Hold on, everyone!" Fine beads of sweat had appeared on her forehead, but her movements did not slow down at all. She continued to swing her weapon vigorously, resisting wave after wave of enemy attacks.

Dongfang Yuqing also shouted, "Bones, don't worry! We can do it! So what if they outnumber us? We're not afraid of them!" As he spoke, he quickened the pace of his folding fan, and the streams of air became even more powerful, repelling the approaching Shadow Cult members.

Bai Zihua remained calm and composed as he dealt with the enemy's attacks, shouting, "Pay attention to defense, find their weaknesses! Do not attack blindly!" He knew that although the Shadow Cult members were numerous, if they could find their weaknesses, they could use skill to overcome force and reduce their own casualties.

Upon hearing Bai Zihua's words, Luo Shiyi nodded hurriedly and exclaimed, "Your Excellency, I understand! I will pay attention!" As he spoke, he adjusted his fighting stance, becoming more cautious in dealing with the enemy's attacks, while also observing the enemy's every move, trying to find their weaknesses.

Just as the two sides were locked in a fierce battle, Hua Qiangu suddenly had an idea. Taking advantage of a gap in the fighting, she shouted, "Listen up, everyone! We can't keep fighting them like this! We need to find a way to lure them into that valley over there and use the terrain to our advantage!" As she spoke, she pointed to a valley not far away. The valley was treacherous, filled with all sorts of strange rocks and ravines. If they could lure the Shadow Cult members there, they might be able to use the terrain to their advantage and turn the battle around.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuqing's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Hey, Bone, that's a great idea! Let's do it that way!" As he spoke, he unleashed several powerful bursts of air in the direction Hua Qiangu pointed, repelling several Shadow Cult members who approached him. Then, he ran towards the valley, shouting as he ran, "Shadow Cult guys, come and get us if you dare! Let's see how we deal with you!"

Bai Zihua nodded slightly and shouted, "Alright! Let's do as Xiao Gu says! Everyone fight and retreat, leading them into the valley!" With that, he swung his sword and repelled another group of enemies. Then, he flashed and retreated towards the valley.

Luo Shiyi also shouted, "Yes, Your Majesty, Xiao Gu, Dongfang! I'll go with you!" He gripped his weapon tightly and followed everyone as they fought their way back towards the valley.

When the leader of the Shadow Cult saw Hua Qiangu and the others running towards the valley, he was first taken aback, then he understood their intentions and shouted, "Hmph! Trying to lure us into the valley? Do you think you can deal with us like that? Brothers, don't let them get away! Chase after them!" With that, he led the Shadow Cult members to chase after Hua Qiangu and the others.

The group quickly retreated into the valley. As soon as they entered, Hua Qiangu shouted, "Everyone, spread out and use the terrain to your advantage!"

Dongfang Yuqing replied, "Okay, Bone! I'll go over there!" With that, he ran towards one side of the valley, found a secluded spot to hide, and prepared to launch a surprise attack when the Shadow Cult members approached.

Bai Zihua ran to the other side of the valley, choosing a higher spot where he could overlook the entire valley and better command the battle.

Luo Shiyi followed Hua Qiangu and found a place to hide in the middle of the valley. The two hid behind a large rock, keeping their eyes fixed on the movements outside.

After the Shadow Cult members chased into the valley, they immediately lost track of Hua Qiangu and the others. The Shadow Cult leader shouted, "Where are they? Find them all! Don't let them escape!"

Just as the Shadow Cult members were searching everywhere, Dongfang Yuqing seized the opportunity, leaping out from his hiding place. With a flick of his folding fan, he unleashed a powerful gust of air that shot directly towards a group of Shadow Cult members, shouting loudly, "Haha, you Shadow Cult guys, taste my power!"

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, the Shadow Cult members fell to the ground, some even being thrown into the nearby ditch by the airflow.

Seeing this from above, Bai Zihua shouted, "Well done, Dongfang! Keep it up, everyone, take them down one by one!"

Just then, Luo Shiyi saw several members of the Shadow Cult walking towards the large rock where they were hiding. He was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and he whispered to Hua Qiangu, "Qiangu, they're coming, what should we do?"

Hua Qiangu replied softly, "Don't panic, let's attack together when they get closer!"

As the Shadow Cult members reached the large rock, Hua Qiangu and Luo Shiyi simultaneously leaped out from behind it, brandishing their weapons and slashing at the enemy. The Shadow Cult members were startled by the sudden attack and frantically raised their weapons to defend themselves, but they were still forced to retreat by Hua Qiangu and Luo Shiyi.

Dongfang Yuqing launched several more attacks, knocking more of the Shadow Cult members off their feet. Bai Zihua also frequently charged down from higher ground, using the terrain to deliver fatal blows to the enemy.

Thus, Hua Qiangu and her companions used the valley's terrain to engage in a fierce battle with the Shadow Cult. Although the Shadow Cult had a large number of members, Hua Qiangu and her group's skillful counterattacks gradually put them on the defensive, and their casualties continued to rise.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the Shadow Cult was enraged and roared, "You despicable bastards! How dare you treat us like this! I will make you pay the price!" With that, he personally led a group of his cronies and charged towards the direction where Hua Qiangu and the others were.

Seeing the leader of the Shadow Cult rushing over in person, Hua Qiangu shouted, "Everyone be careful! That guy is here in person!"

Dongfang Yuqing shouted, "Hmph! Bring it on! Bone, let's take him down together!"

Bai Zihua also rushed down from the high place and shouted, "Prepare for battle!"

Luo Shiyi gripped his weapon tightly and shouted, "Xiao Gu, Your Majesty, Dongfang, I'm ready!"

The two sides were once again locked in a fierce standoff.

The leader of the Shadow Cult brandished his broadsword and slashed at Hua Qiangu, shouting, "You little brat, I'll cut you in two today!"
