Yellow smoke, emanating from the dark figure before him, caused Xie Lianhuan to show a flicker of surprise.
"What is that? Smoke?"
"No, it's the fart of a weasel."
Zhang Tian replied.
"What? Fart?"
Xie Lianhuan was astonished.
He had seen many strange things, but this was his first time encountering something like this.
"Sect Master, you mean, what we're seeing is actually a weasel?"
Xie Lianhuan was still somewhat incredulous.
"Yes, this guy used to be human."
Zhang Tian nodded, then calmly got up, preparing to head outside.
Because the weasel before them had already vanished, its figure clearly having entered Xie Yuchen's room.
Xie Lianhuan quickly followed.
In times like these, it was rare to witness such events, and he wanted to see how Zhang Tian would handle it.
Zhang Tian's figure also disappeared from the room, and he walked towards Xie Yuchen's quarters.
Meanwhile, inside Xie Yuchen's room.
A yellow aura continuously permeated the air.
At the center of this aura, Xie Yuchen found himself once again unable to move.
His eyes flickered, his pupils darting around, a sense of tension growing within him.
"I didn't expect Little Master Zhang to have predicted this."
Xie Yuchen thought to himself, and as his gaze fell upon a certain corner, his expression changed drastically in an instant.
"This is bad! It's here!"
His heart sank. Xie Yuchen tried to move his hand but found he had no strength whatsoever.
"Creak!"
Just as Xie Yuchen struggled, the door was pushed open.
The next moment, a yellow figure appeared before him.
"This is the last time. If you weren't someone under the curse of sacrifice, you wouldn't have to suffer like this."
"Don't worry, considering you've provided me with nourishment for so long, I'll give you a quick end."
From the shadowy figure, a hoarse, aged voice spoke.
The figure's tongue suddenly elongated, like that of a python, and began to coil around Xie Yuchen's body.
"Who are you, and why are you doing this!"
Xie Yuchen, mustering all his strength, could only utter these words.
"Oh? I didn't expect you to still have the strength. But I might as well tell you."
"I am Huang Tianshi. I was once harmed by your schemes, and now, I must have my revenge."
Huang Shuliang spoke.
A slight smile also appeared on his lips.
"Hmph! I didn't expect it was you!"
Xie Yuchen said deliberately.
He was buying time for Zhang Tian.
"You wouldn't have imagined it, but your yesterday has created me today!"
"I'll give you a swift end, don't worry."
Huang Shuliang said, his claws also becoming visible in the darkness.
"What you said is exactly what I want to say. I will also give you a swift end."
Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
Huang Shuliang froze entirely.
His expression changed drastically, and the next moment, he spun around sharply.
Two figures now stood before him.
In the darkness, Zhang Tian's silhouette was all too familiar.
Huang Shuliang would never forget this figure in his lifetime.
"It's you!"
"You scoundrel!"
Huang Shuliang cursed instantly.
"It is I, but not a scoundrel."
Zhang Tian said, with a wave of his hand, the light in Xie Yuchen's room suddenly brightened.
The next moment, Huang Shuliang's appearance was revealed to all present.
Yellow skin, yellow hair, even his beard was yellow.
Perhaps due to his rebirth into a weasel, Huang Shuliang's appearance strongly resembled one.
His nose was a bit long, his eyes were slanted, giving him a shifty look.
"I didn't expect that, after all this time, your appearance is still so peculiar."
Zhang Tian spoke calmly.
A faint smile played on his lips.
Huang Shuliang, already harboring resentment due to his appearance, was instantly enraged by Zhang Tian's words.
His face contorted further.
"Hmph! Just as I planned, this Tianshi was looking for you. Since you're all here today, let's settle this!"
Huang Shuliang's muffled voice reverberated.
His claws instantly elongated.
His face also sprouted more whiskers.
Zhang Tian, in his hand, now held a whisk.
He had obtained the whisk and hadn't had a chance to use it. Now, encountering Huang Shuliang, wasn't this the perfect opportunity for practice?
"What is this thing? It possesses such potent demonic energy!"
Upon seeing the whisk in Zhang Tian's hand, Huang Shuliang's expression changed instantly.
He was now a demon, and demons, upon encountering a creature of higher bloodline, would naturally experience a certain primal fear.
"Oh, this? It's a Flood Dragon Whisk, made with the inner core of a flood dragon. What do you think, is it beautiful?"
Zhang Tian stroked his whisk, speaking nonchalantly.
In an instant, a flicker of apprehension appeared in Xie Lianhuan's eyes.
He had no reason to doubt anything Zhang Tian produced.
Furthermore, Zhang Tian could apparently eliminate a legendary flood dragon, meaning his power likely surpassed that of a Grandmaster.
"What is his current realm?"
Xie Lianhuan's mind raced with speculation.
"Hmph! Trying to scare me! Flood dragons disappeared a thousand years ago. Do you think I don't know that?"
"Die!"
Huang Shuliang's expression shifted.
Suddenly, his hands transformed into sharp claws, and he lunged towards Zhang Tian. As Zhang Tian possessed the highest power here, he had to be dealt with first.
Zhang Tian let out a cold snort.
"A mere demon, daring to show off before a master!"
"Tian You, Tian You, fierce Marquis, aiding the Northern Pole above, overseeing the Nine Provinces below, clad in golden armor, wielding a halberd and spear."
Zhang Tian immediately formed a hand seal.
The next moment, a golden light appeared on the whisk.
Zhang Tian slashed fiercely, and the golden light exploded, illuminating the entire room with brilliance.
As the golden light emerged, a dragon's roar faintly echoed in the air.
"What is this? So terrifying! Little Master Zhang's strength has improved again."
Xie Yuchen rejoiced inwardly.
His eyes also showed a hint of astonishment.
Zhang Tian's progress was too rapid; he could no longer fathom it.
Moreover, that whisk was exceptionally formidable.
It faintly emitted a dragon's roar. With such a magical artifact in hand, this Huang Shuliang was likely no match.
"Crack!"
The next moment, the golden light burst, and Huang Shuliang was sent flying several meters by Zhang Tian's golden radiance.
"How is this possible? How has your strength increased so quickly!"
"Back then, the three of you couldn't defeat me. How is this possible?"
The stark contrast was too great, leaving Huang Shuliang momentarily disbelieving.
Zhang Tian smiled.
"Am I not allowed to improve my strength?"
"Furthermore, this whisk is specifically designed to deal with you!"
A smile curved Zhang Tian's lips.
He was satisfied with this display of power.
Meanwhile, Xie Lianhuan's respect for Zhang Tian deepened.
He knew he could not have withstood that single attack.
"Hmph!"
The next moment, Huang Shuliang let out a cold hmph, and numerous wisps of smoke appeared.
"Watch out! He's trying to escape!"
Xie Lianhuan shouted, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Their gazes turned towards Zhang Tian.
