Chapter 223: Male and Female Twin Swords (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Xu Yuan surmised that Fu Shuanghui must have made thorough preparations to dare hunt the flood dragon.

So Xu Yuan had set up his "stall" in advance, using the long and short halberds to trade with Fu Shuanghui.

If lucky, this could cancel out one of her arrangements.

Holding a begging bowl and singing a lotus song, one could always beg for something; perhaps it could even cancel out another arrangement.

But with these two methods, Xu Yuan himself could not be certain exactly how many of Fu Shuanghui's various tactics they would cancel, nor did he know if they canceled the key arrangements.

Yet Xu Yuan's original intent was to coordinate with the flood dragon.

The main force eliminating Fu Shuanghui was the flood dragon and Tian Da Wang.

However, Xu Yuan, wearing a mud mask and hiding within his own stall, saw Fu Shuanghui holding a Dragon-Slaying Sword!

Xu Yuan knew then that he could eliminate Fu Shuanghui's ultimate trump card!

That sword case had two sword slots.

The Dragon-Slaying Sword left by the Ancestor was a set of male and female twin swords!

Except for Xu Yuan, no one knew this.

Fu Shuanghui worried the long and short halberds had hidden tricks, so she used only the Dragon-Slaying Sword to kill Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan took out the sword case and pretended to shout "Retrieve."

In reality, he used the sword case to control the Dragon-Slaying Sword.

The sword in Fu Shuanghui's hand was the male sword, but regardless of male or female, both were controlled by the sword case.

But Fu Shuanghui did not know; she truly believed the object in the evil spirit's hand was terrifying, specifically designed to swallow "treasures."

With the Dragon-Slaying Sword she relied on snatched away by the opponent, Fu Shuanghui was struck as if by lightning: how could she still kill that flood dragon?

At the same time, another judgment arose in her heart: This evil spirit... is so terrifying!

Its strange skill could forcibly snatch the sword right from her hand.

Fu Shuanghui was frightened and dared not strike immediately.

Xu Yuan did not intend to kill Fu Shuanghui with his own hands.

First, the opponent was a proper Rank Six; second...

Who knew if Shanhe or the Fu family possessed special methods?

What if they could pinpoint him as the culprit?

Xu Yuan stepped back a few paces, reached the realgar mist, opened his mouth, and sucked fiercely—

Dan Xiu fodder!

The realgar mist was like a silkworm cocoon, and Xu Yuan pulled a thread from within it, continuously inhaling it into his belly.

Moreover, the speed of this fodder intake grew faster and faster.

The realgar mist surged into Xu Yuan's mouth, first as a thin stream, then gradually becoming a great river!

The reason "Five Cauldrons Cooking" bore this name was that one important factor was the extremely fast speed of cultivation and fodder intake.

The speed of fodder intake could reach five times that of an ordinary Dan Xiu.

It was like five large cauldrons cooking simultaneously.

The realgar mist was itself a Longzhu Waidan, making it extremely convenient for a Dan Xiu to consume as fodder.

Fu Shuanghui screamed, grabbed a short halberd, and flicked her wrist to shoot it at Xu Yuan.

The Female Lawkeeper finally understood completely: there was no retreat today!

No matter how powerful this evil spirit was, she must snatch the Dragon-Slaying Sword back from his hands.

She had invested so many resources; these were all given by her family.

Half the elite forces of the Shanhe City Bureau were lost here.

If she ultimately failed to kill that flood dragon, neither Shanhe nor the Fu family would forgive her!

Xu Yuan shifted his mind, and the carriage flew out and descended, enclosing him completely.

Bang!

The short halberd struck the carriage and was bounced away.

Tian Da Wang immediately charged at Fu Shuanghui, while Liang Yan and Wei Huchen pinned him down with desperate fighting.

Fu Shuanghui, furious beyond measure, grabbed the long halberd, swung her thick and powerful snake tail, charged at Xu Yuan, and thrust the halberd into the carriage.

Bang!

The carriage shook violently.

Inside, Xu Yuan was shaken by this blow until stars danced before his eyes and his ears buzzed.

Fu Shuanghui, practicing the Rank Six Dragon Transformation Method, possessed physical strength comparable to an ordinary Rank Six Wu Xiu!

For the carriage to achieve the "nothing enters from outside" defense of the Ghost Temple, it would need to be completely sealed.

Then Xu Yuan would have to stop consuming the realgar mist.

But Xu Yuan could not stop now.

Xu Yuan suffered inside the carriage, while Fu Shuanghui outside the carriage was secretly alarmed:

This carriage woven from bamboo could actually block her strike?!

Although the carriage shook, it showed no damage whatsoever.

Fu Shuanghui thought for a moment; brute force attacks would likely not work, so she took out that blowgun.

Two ice arrows remained inside.

Xu Yuan immediately rang the carriage bell.

He did not want her to shoot the ice arrows at the carriage.

Xu Yuan often used the carriage to seal evil spirits, then blasted internal fire from his belly to roast them slowly.

This carriage can block out heat.

But whether it can withstand freezing... that hasn't been tested yet.

If it turns brittle after freezing and gets smashed by Lady Fu Shuanghui's halberd...

Xu Yuan was unwilling to take the risk.

"Ding-ling-ling..."

Lady Fu Shuanghui, caught off guard, felt her soul go numb and dazed.

Xu Yuan took the opportunity to throw out the Haikou Toad Shadow Puppet.

The puppet's eyes rolled, fixing their gaze on Lady Fu Shuanghui.

Lady Fu Shuanghui's figure stiffened, unable to move for a brief moment.

Having cultivated the "Dragon Transformation Method," one would, like a true dragon, excel in both spells and martial techniques, while possessing strong spell resistance and physical durability!

Neither the Haikou Toad nor the carriage bell could hold her for long.

Xu Yuan then shouted at the serpent: "I have helped you deal with the Qingxia Temple; you should return all that silver to me."

Amidst the remaining half of the realgar mist, the serpent laughed: "It truly is you—I knew you could walk out of that temple!"

"Hmph!" Xu Yuan said, "So it was you who deliberately placed us in those mountains!"

But why didn't the serpent simply let Tian Da Wang enter the Qingxia Temple scene directly?

Tian Da Wang obtained the sword case early and had it resolve the weakness of the Dragon-Slaying Sword; wouldn't that be better than letting it fall into others' hands?

This question could only be asked after dealing with Lady Fu Shuanghui.

"Let your friend swap opponents with me!"

The serpent then told Tian Da Wang, "Little Tian, you can trust him."

Tian Da Wang abandoned Liang Yan and Wei Huchen, leaped like a wild beast with straight legs, and with a "swish" landed before Lady Fu Shuanghui.

Almost simultaneously, Lady Fu Shuanghui regained consciousness; her snake tail thrashed, and the Haikou Toad's "Body-Fixing" technique shattered.

She thrust her long halberd, and Tian Da Wang grabbed it.

Coincidentally, zombies are precisely the type that possess both high spell resistance and formidable physical strength!

Lady Fu Shuanghui and Tian Da Wang grappled with the long halberd.

Scales on Lady Fu Shuanghui's face bulged one by one; gritting her teeth, she spoke through clenched teeth: "You two, go kill that thing inside the carriage!"

Lady Fu Shuanghui had figured it out; that thing wasn't that strong.

Otherwise, there would be no need to send Tian Da Wang to swap with him.

"Yes!"

"Kill—"

The two patrol officers lunged left and right toward the carriage.

Lady Fu Shuanghui, being even more vicious, used Tian Da Wang's body as cover and quickly blew out two ice arrows.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

One headed straight for Tian Da Wang's face.

The other shot toward the carriage.

But Tian Da Wang, having learned from the Jin Shui incident, had long been guarding against this move; dozens of Yin Soldiers hid within various parts of his body, and upon being ambushed, suddenly leaped out, transforming into a vortex of Yin Qi that swirled around him.

That ice arrow shot in, lasted only a moment, then was swept upward by the vortex into the sky, before falling somewhere unknown.

The one aimed at the carriage, just as it seemed about to hit, was met by a skin that "poof" opened in front of the carriage.

It was extremely large, blocking the entire carriage.

The ice arrow only harmed enemies with cold.

It couldn't even pierce the Skin Pill.

Instead, it froze the entire Skin Pill solid, turning it into a "Skin Ice Plate," which stood stuck in the ground.

Its surface was smooth and shiny, capable of reflecting a person's image!

Inside the carriage, Xu Yuan's loud laughter rang out: "I was guarding against you long ago!"
