ck the black beetles for long. In just a few breaths, more of them swarmed out from the sides of the wall. Had it been even a moment later, the beetles would have surged over the ten-foot-high wall li..."How strong is the deadly infant monk compared to you and Yuan Dao-friend" Lu Xiaoteng had already sensed something unusual about the tall and thin monk, so he asked Xu Wan.

“I am evenly matched with Yuan Gang. Together, the two of us could perhaps rival any.” Xu Wan’s face showed a smile that was very strained indeed.

"That means even three or four cultivators at the late stage of the Golden Core might not be his opponent." Lu Xiaoteng took a cold breath. Decades ago, Yuan Gang had held his own against the two white-hatted dwarf brothers, but this life-taking infant monk's strength was already comparable to several late Golden Core masters.

Moreover, the other party had Fu Mingyuan, a couple of black-clad middle-aged people, and more than ten other Jindan cultivators.

"Xu Dao, Yuan Dao friend, it seems you are still so stubborn, hiding in the Black Heaven Mountain Range. Your plan was truly seamless at first. If not for this tribulation phenomenon, almost no one would have suspected you all. You really made me work hard to uncover your scheme." With a commanding presence, Fu Mingyuan spoke calmly.

“You can also see the potential of my young lady. As long as given some time, she will surely become one of the most outstanding masters among the royal family in the future. The benefits that King De can give you, my young lady can also give in the future. King De is ruthless and cruel. Why do you have to follow him down this dark path In the end, you may not get a good result.” Xu Wan admonished.

"You don't have to worry about this, Xu Dao friend. In a word, hand over Xiang Lian'er to me today, and this matter will be settled. You two can live. This time, I even invited the Life-Taking Infant Monk. Although your two are not weak, you are still no match for him. A wise man knows when to yield. If you persist in your folly, don't blame me for being ruthless." Fu Mingyuan said with a murderous look. "Even if Xiang Lian'er has great potential, King De might not give him the chance to grow."

“In that case, there’s no need for more words. You do it yourselves.” Xu Wan and Yuan Gang exchanged glances with each other before gritting their teeth and saying this.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Seeking your own death." Fu Mingyuan let out a cold snort, then respectfully bowed to the Life-Taking Infant Monk and said, "The following matters are entrusted to you, Daoist friend."

“I only need this woman’s life, those who stand in my way die.” The infant monk of the Grim Reapers nodded and stepped forward two paces, covering dozens of meters in an instant. His movements were without any trace of anger. His voice was flat and emotionless, yet undeniably domineering. No one dared to question the consequences of challenging him.

“Lu Daoyou, whether Miss can survive this tribulation depends on you. I implore Lu Daoyou to stand with us and weather the storm together. Yuan Gang and I will meet this person first. You wait for an opportunity later to make your move. See if there is a chance to use the power of the formation to severely injure him in one fell swoop, or perhaps even trap him.” Xu Wan gritted her teeth and gave Yuan Gang a wink.

Yuan Gang's face was solemn as he nodded, drawing out a staff thicker than an arm. His figure flashed, standing shoulder to shoulder with Xu Wan and blocking the path of the Life-Taking Infant Monk.

“Haha, Old Yuan, decades have passed, I wonder if your Flying Monkey Staff is still as sharp as ever. My two brothers also want to meet you again, old geezer.” As soon as Yuan Gang landed, the two dwarf brothers, who resembled White No Constables, rushed towards him one after the other. In a blink of an eye, they were entangled with Yuan Gang in a fierce fight.

At this moment, Xianglian'er was enduring the third wave of tribulation thunder. The pressure was immense, but the rapidly deteriorating situation outside made it impossible for her to concentrate on weathering the storm. A momentary lapse in concentration resulted in her being struck repeatedly by tribulation lightning on her shoulder. Fortunately, the Crystal Silkworm Armor mitigated most of the attack. However, Xianglian'er couldn't help but let out a trace of blood from the corner of her mouth.

Seeing the Demonic Infant Monk's massive hand heading towards Xu Wan, the string of skull beads instantly whirled rapidly. Each skull emitted a crying sound like that of an infant. Not to mention the enemy, even those Jindan Stage cultivators behind Fu Mingyuan broke out in a cold sweat and involuntarily took two steps back.

Xu Wan opened her mouth and spat out a pair of golden and silver fish-shaped hooks that shot through the air at high speed, like two living, breathing fish, one gold and one silver. The tips of the hooks emitted a chilling glow that could pierce even the finest defensive magical artifacts, striking with pinpoint accuracy and ferocity.

But at this very moment, the skull beads of the Demonic Infant Monk let out a mournful cry. The bone marrow beads writhed, and streaks of gray evil light shot out like whips, forming a massive gray ring that enveloped the Yin-Yang Fish Hook.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Two completely different forces of power collided, immediately forming a situation where water and fire could not coexist.

With a thunderous boom, Xu Wan's expression changed drastically as she retreated several steps.

“That old monkey isn’t bad; with the two of you working together, you might be able to withstand a few moves under this old man. But on your own, you’re far too weak.” The Demonic Infant Monk chuckled. The gray light emanating from the skull bead did not diminish, encircling Xu Wan’s mother-and-child fish hook in circles.

Xu Wan was in a panic, hastily trying to reel in the fish-shaped hook, but she found that no matter how hard she pulled, her set of fine celestial artifacts seemed to be severely restrained and couldn't move at all.

Aunt Xu! In a moment of distraction, Xiang Lian'er was struck by lightning once again.

The murderous infant monk flashed, taking advantage of Xu Wan's dan yuan magic weapon being held back by him, he struck a palm towards her chest.

At this time, Xu Wan's front had an extra person. The two palms intersected, and a young man in green clothes continuously drew out several feet on the snow. However, the Life-Taking Infant Monk was also shaken back a few steps.

"Focus on crossing the tribulation, the fight between us isn't something you should worry about." Naturally, it was Lu Xia Tian who stepped in to block the Life-Taking Infant Monk. Lu Xia Tian blocked the Life-Taking Infant Monk with a palm strike while saying loudly:

Although the people who came were a bit more powerful and numerous than originally expected, they were still within an acceptable range. Although Lu Xiaottian had verbally expressed that he wasn't interested in the Lingquan Amber, he actually wanted it very much. Xu Wan should still have a backup plan, she shouldn't have been seriously injured by the Soul-Taking Infant Monk after just one encounter. However, being injured as soon as they fought meant she either used her reserve strength. In this already disadvantageous situation, this only made things worse for them.

"Kid, you actually have some skills." The Demonic Infant Monk let out a surprised cry and sized up Lu Xia Tian, who he hadn't paid much attention to before, with an unexpected expression.

"You and Yuan Gang go deal with the others. This one is mine." Lu Xia Tian took the palm strike from the Slaying Infant Monk, his face unchanged. In fact, he was also surprised by the casual power of the Slaying Infant Monk's palm strike. But now was not the time to show cowardice. When enemies clash, sometimes it is necessary to bide your time and conserve strength for self-preservation. However, in a situation where their own side lacked a leader, biding one's time would be a path to death. Now he needed to boost the morale of Xu Wan and Yuan Gang, who had just become discouraged.

“Thank you for your help, Lu Daoist.” Xu Wan had almost been suppressed by the Demonic Infant Monk as soon as he made his move. He was only slightly relieved now.ck of aptitude or if we simply misjudged them. 。After watching Lu Xiaitian leave, Huo Yueming sighed. 。“Who knows, with so many Qi-Refining disciples in Lingxiao Palace, this person is the only one wh...
