Dozens of black sword lights flashed, and they slashed at a huge tiger-like monster. The monster was slashed with blood and howled non-stop. Although the sword light caused it considerable damage, it also completely enraged it. It roared and waved its claws wildly at the tiny figure in front of it.

The figure in black kept dodging between the claws, and finally narrowly avoided all the attacks of the monster. While the monster was adjusting its posture, he took the opportunity to swing his sword again, and more than a dozen sword lights slashed at the monster.

After a fierce battle, the black figure leaped away and adjusted his chaotic aura. He stared at the monster with his cold eyes and subconsciously tightened the sword in his hand.

Liu Shou didn't expect that he would be separated from everyone as soon as he entered the Qiankun Palace. As far as he could see, there was no one but a strange-looking monster.

And this monster is surprisingly difficult to deal with.

The two sides had been fighting fiercely for four hours, but no matter how much damage he inflicted on the monster, the monster was always able to take it as if nothing had happened. Even though it was already covered in wounds, its attacking momentum was still unstoppable.

The monster in front of him looked like a tiger, but also a bit like a dog. Its face was a tiger face that was a bit more human-like, and its bloody mouth extended with fangs like a wild boar. Liu Shou had only heard of this monster before, but this was the first time he had seen it. He thought it was a monster that only existed in legends and records, but he didn't expect it to appear in this ancient ruins.

Taowu!

Hun Dun, Tao Wu, Qiong Qi, and Tao Tie are collectively known as the four great beasts of ancient times. Legend has it that in ancient times, the four great beasts were bloody and brutal, killing countless people, and making people shudder at the mere mention of them. Even the cultivators of the Crossing Tribulation Realm would have no choice but to flee when they saw them. Later, under the joint efforts of many True Immortal Realm cultivators, the four great beasts were finally killed, and since then they have become monsters that only appear in legends.

Although the four fierce beasts have disappeared for a long time, their portraits are still circulated in the world. In some ancient secret realms and magic sects, the four fierce beasts are still worshipped. Therefore, Liu Shou was able to recognize this big guy.

Obviously, the Taowu in front of him was not the notorious Taowu from ancient times, but an infinitely weakened version, so that even a cultivator like him in the Divine Transformation Realm could fight with it endlessly. But even so, he felt that the strength of this opponent was too strong. He had a hunch that if he continued to fight like this, he would be exhausted to death sooner or later.

This won't work.

The next moment, Taowu howled and rushed towards Liu Shou again. Liu Shou's eyes turned cold and he rushed forward again without fear.

Since the battle a year ago, Liu Shou's fighting style has changed. From the previous steady and cautious, to the current aggressive. Every time he fights, he will put on a desperate posture. No matter whether the opponent is weak or strong, he can't get away with it.

And his change in style was mainly due to one person.

Lian Yingying.

In the past year, Liu Shou not only fought desperately, but also fought desperately when practicing. He didn't dare to stop, because once he stopped, he couldn't help but think of the figure falling powerlessly in front of him. He hated his powerlessness at that time, but he also knew that he was really helpless. His desperate practice and fighting, wasn't it a kind of escape?

Escape from the lingering figure in your mind.

The long sword cut a deep wound on Taowu's jaw, causing Taowu to scream in pain. Taowu shook its head and used its head, which was as hard as black iron, to hit Liu Shou. Liu Shou held the sword across his chest and blocked the attack, but the powerful force rushed straight into his chest, making him almost spit out blood. He swallowed the blood with force, and faced Taowu's subsequent attack without retreating, and the sword light pierced Taowu's eyes.

Liu Shou's fighting style was ferocious, even with a hint of determination to die together. The two sides attacked each other, causing sand and rocks to fly and the sky to collapse and the earth to crack. If others saw this fighting style, they would be dumbfounded.

How can there be such a life-threatening way of fighting?

But if the people of Shura Road saw it, they probably wouldn't be surprised, because Liu Shou's risking his life was already a consensus among everyone.

With Liu Shou's fighting style, he was able to fight Taowu on equal terms for a while. Although he couldn't defeat Taowu, Taowu couldn't defeat him either. But if the battle lasted longer, it would be hard to say.

But Liu Shou didn't think so much, he just wanted to fight.

In the fight, he forgot everything except the battle. He kept swinging his sword, using instinct, will, and inertia to fight Taowu over and over again.

Until a white light suddenly appeared before my eyes.

When the white light dissipated, Liu Shou had not recovered from the battle for a while.

He looked around in a daze and found himself in an unfamiliar space. He was surrounded by other monks who had come in with him. In front of him was the magnificent building of Qiankun Palace, and above him was the clear night sky. Taowu was gone, and his injuries were gone too. Everything that had just happened seemed like a dream that had never happened.

At this moment, Liu Shou felt someone patting his shoulder. His whole body suddenly tensed up, and he subconsciously drew his sword and was about to chop at the opponent. Fortunately, at the moment of chopping, he saw the opponent's face clearly, and the sword that was about to hit him was stopped in mid-air.

Deng Jingyun didn't expect that he just patted Liu Shou's shoulder, but the other party's reaction was so intense that he almost fell to the ground. He could clearly feel that he was only three inches away from death.

He swallowed subconsciously and laughed dryly: "Brother Liu Shou, calm down, it's me."

Liu Shou glanced at him coldly and sheathed his sword. He looked around warily and asked, "Why are you the only one here? Where are Feng Shao and Tang Fei?"

After several contacts with Liu Shou, Deng Jingyun also understood his personality. He did not care about Liu Shou's cold attitude. He just said helplessly: "I don't know. After being pulled in, I was forced to play chess with an old man for three days and three nights. Apart from the old man, I didn't see anyone else. Then, I felt a flash of white light in front of my eyes, and when I opened my eyes again, I was here."

Liu Shou asked back: "Playing chess? You were playing chess just now?"

Deng Jingyun nodded: "Yes. Why? Aren't you?"

Liu Shou shook his head: "I was pulled into a space and fought with Taowu for four hours."

“Taowu?” Deng Jingyun couldn’t help but widen his eyes. “Is it Taowu, one of the four ancient fierce beasts? You can actually fight with this monster for four hours?”

Liu Shou said calmly: "It's not the real Taowu, it should be just an illusion. Apart from the instinctive close combat ability, it has no other abilities."

“Even so, fighting Taowu for four hours is already amazing!” Deng Jingyun said with emotion, “I didn’t expect Brother Liu to be so capable at such a young age. I really admire him!”

While talking, the two were also observing their surroundings. They found that in this moment, figures suddenly appeared from time to time, and those figures that suddenly appeared were other cultivators who entered the Qiankun Palace. It seemed that all the cultivators did not appear at the same time, but appeared in batches.

But this gave some people an opportunity.

Some teams had gathered most of their members, and after a glance, they found that there were still scattered enemies, and many of them had not yet appeared. They were overjoyed, drew their weapons and rushed forward. Many people were shocked when they saw the enemies suddenly rushing over. After hesitating for a moment, they simply gritted their teeth and rushed straight to the depths of Qiankun Palace.

Some people were quite brave and simply drew their weapons and started fighting with the other side.

For a moment, the area in front of Qiankun Palace fell into chaos again, and it was even more chaotic than before in the basin.

The people of Ziqing Holy Land were lucky and had gathered most of the troops early. After Liang Weiqing counted the number of people, he planned to enter Qiankun Palace first. But when he turned around, he saw Liu Shou and Deng Jingyun. As for Feng Shao and Tang Fei, they were nowhere to be seen.

Liang Wei was startled at first, and then he became furious. Although he had no grudge against Liu Shou and Deng Jingyun, since these two had teamed up with Tang Fei, they were his enemies! Since they were enemies, why should he show mercy?

Liang Wei immediately gave an order and rushed towards Liu Shou first.

The other disciples of Ziqing Holy Land looked at each other with helplessness on their faces. In fact, after all, this should be regarded as a personal grudge between Liang Wei and Tang Fei. How did it involve ordinary disciples like them? All the disciples turned their eyes to the Saint Murong Pianpian, waiting for Murong Pianpian's instructions.

Murong Pianpian hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Liang, wait a minute!"

Liang Wei stopped and asked in a bad tone: "Junior Sister Murong, are you going to stop me?"

Murong Pianpian's eyes flashed with disgust, and then she said calmly: "Brother Liang, before we came here, the Lord Saint said that our main goal is to search for hidden opportunities in Qiankun Palace. But you frequently stir up personal grudges. Could it be that you have forgotten the Lord Saint's instructions?"

Liang Wei said angrily, "Don't use the Holy Lord to pressure me! I killed Tang Fei to clean up the Holy Land. What's wrong with that? Junior Sister Murong, do you still have a private relationship with Tang Fei?"

Murong Pianpian said coldly: "That's a nice thing to say! If you hadn't frequently provoked Brother Tang Fei, why would he have turned against his master? Now that it has come to this, we should focus on the big picture. But you insist on doing it for your own personal grudge. Could it be that in your eyes, the lives of so many of us are not as important as your personal grudge?"

Liang Wei was furious and was about to speak, but when he glanced over, he found that the other Ziqing disciples looked at him with a hint of disdain. He was startled at first, and then he realized that he had made a big mistake.

This is Qiankun Palace, not Ziqing Holy Land. His title of Holy Son is useful outside, but here, he is just a leader. If others are dissatisfied with him, they can kill him in a dark corner and report directly to their superiors that he died in a trap. Who can make the decision for him then?

Thinking of this, he glared at Liu Shou and Deng Jingyun hatefully, and said to Murong Pianpian with gritted teeth: "Then follow what Junior Sister Murong said and focus on searching for opportunities! But I also want to remind you that Tang Fei is now a traitor to the Purple Purity Holy Land. If you dare to show mercy to Tang Fei after seeing him, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As he said this, Liang Wei flicked his sleeves and walked towards Qiankun Palace first. Seeing this, the other Ziqing disciples also hurriedly followed.

Before taking a step, Murong Pianpian glanced at Liu Shou and Deng Jingyun, sighed, and followed them.
