A water-blue torrent shot forth. The tiger with hanging eyes let out a roar that burst with thunderous power.
This is a fourth-turn Tiger Roar Gu!
The sound wave of the tiger roar agitated the air, forming visible ripples. The sound wave hit the torrent and shattered it into a rain of droplets.
Since transforming into the tiger with hanging eyes, Cheng Hu's attacks were unparalleled, immediately exuding an aura of dominance.
Tiger Roar Gu: emits sound waves. Tiger Claw Gu: incredibly sharp. Tiger Skin Gu: superb defense.
Tiger Fang Gu: sharp as a spear, piercing with power. Tiger Tail Gu: hard as a steel whip, swings as desired.
Gu masters of the Transformation Path collect the appropriate Gu insects to form a killing move. Once all the Gu are gathered, they can transform their forms, and their combat power will experience a qualitative leap.
Of course, the more powerful the transformation form, the higher the value and the harder it is to collect the corresponding Gu combination.
Even if a Gu master can transform, it requires a lot of training. Humans are born to walk upright on two legs, with one head and two arms. If they change to another form, unfamiliarity is the most natural reaction.
Like flight, only with extensive training and talent can one fully master the transformed form.
Gu masters have three major areas: raising Gu, using Gu, and refining Gu. This is the profound essence of using Gu.
Both armies focused their eyes on the front of the formation.
The fierce battle between Hao Jiliu and Cheng Hu had reached a critical moment.
Cheng Hu used a killing move and transformed into a tiger with hanging eyes, firmly gaining the upper hand. The Water Demon Hao Jiliu could only focus on dodging, changing his previous style of wild attacks, and looked miserable.
However, as time passed, the battle remained deadlocked. Although Cheng Hu had a huge advantage, he could never turn it into victory.
While most of the Ma family soldiers were still cheering loudly, the people in the Ma family command tent all furrowed their brows.
"Not good, this Water Demon is cunning! Cheng Hu is in danger," Ma Yingjie said.
Many experts present nodded in agreement.
Although the killing move is powerful, it actually uses multiple Gu insects simultaneously. As a result, the consumption of true yuan increases several times. Therefore, for a Gu master, it is a double-edged sword.
Cheng Hu activated the killing move, but the Water Demon Hao Jiliu had rich combat experience and changed his hard-hitting style. Cheng Hu couldn't finish off the Water Demon in a short time; when his true yuan was almost depleted, he would have no choice but to revert to human form. At that moment, the Water Demon would launch his counterattack.
Ma Shangfeng's face was calm, but his heart sank.
If it were before, Cheng Hu's defeat wouldn't concern him. But now, Cheng Hu's victory or defeat was no longer a personal matter—it affected the morale of the entire army.
The Ma family had already suffered two consecutive defeats. Ma Shangfeng knew well that the various tribes that had defected to the Ma family were already wavering.
The Ma family army was an alliance with the Ma family as the core and the other tribes as supporters. Once morale wavered, the situation would become dangerous.
Ma Shangfeng certainly didn't want to see Cheng Hu's defeat.
But seeing that the battle was still deadlocked and the possibility of Cheng Hu's defeat was increasing, Ma Shangfeng could only sigh inwardly and call out: "Fei Shengcheng."
Fei Shengcheng immediately stepped forward, placed his right hand over his heart, and saluted: "I am here, sir."
"The second battle, you'll handle it," Ma Shangfeng said. To mitigate the impact of Cheng Hu's impending defeat, he placed his hopes on Fei Shengcheng.
Fei Shengcheng was also a fierce general.
Previously, he had been marginalized in the Fei family and was quite frustrated. The Ma family then lured him to be an inside man. Taking advantage of the chaos from the Fei family's internal strife and coup, they launched a surprise attack and annexed the Fei family.
After defecting to the Ma family, he finally met a wise ruler, performed many meritorious deeds, and received substantial cultivation.
Immediately, he went to the front and began shouting insults.
"The one who comes is Fei Shengcheng. Since the royal court struggle, he has already killed eight fourth-turn experts. In the last great battle, he used the Numbing Gu and fought three experts of the same rank alone, giving an amazing performance," Sun Shihan said in the Hei family's command tent.
Beside him, Yelu Sang had a cold face.
The "great battle" that Sun Shihan mentioned was precisely the battle between the Ma family and the Yelu allied forces. As a result, Yelu Sang was defeated and relentlessly pursued by the Ma family, becoming almost completely alone. The various tribes that had previously submitted to Yelu Sang, such as Qilian, eventually all submitted to the Ma family.
The Numbing Gu is a rare fourth-turn Gu, comparable in value to a fifth-turn Gu. Once a Gu master is hit, his entire body becomes numb and nearly immobile. Although the duration is short, it is a deadly method in fierce combat.
Hei Loulan hummed, looked around, and asked: "Who can go?"
As soon as the words fell, someone laughed heartily and stepped forward: "Fei Shengcheng is nothing special. I volunteer to go and clear away all obstacles for your grand cause!"
Hei Loulan looked closely and saw that it was none other than the Single Blade General, Pan Ping.
Earlier, Pan Ping had been blown apart by the killing moves of the three Liu brothers, but after the battle, Taibai Yunsheng saved him using the Returning to Life Gu. Not only him, but also Gao Yang and Zhu Zai were saved.
"Good, then you go," Hei Loulan nodded in approval.
If it were at the start of the war, he wouldn't have been optimistic about Pan Ping. But after more than ten battles, Pan Ping had changed, rapidly growing into an expert comparable to Pei Yanfei.
"Fei family brat, you're just a shameless traitor seeking glory. Your life is a disgrace. Come and die!" Pan Ping shouted as he took the field, his fighting spirit boiling.
Fei Shengcheng was furious; he hated being called that more than anything: "Just a bastard of the demon path. You were arrogant before because you never met me!"
