ingfeng knew that there was indeed something inside the seemingly powerful but not fatal Fanluo Linghuo that could harm his life. Even though the silver-haired cultivator dared not act rashly against...Although the appearance of clay puppets reversed the situation once again, Emperor Kun, who had already been over-expended and heavily wounded, was far inferior to before in both speed and attack power. There was another decline at this time.

The remaining three had already felt despair, but seeing this scene before them, a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts. Under the gaze of Shaba's eyes, the few people who had been silent as ice finally mustered their remaining courage and fought alongside Dikun and the clay golem.

These three have fought for quite a while now and are considerably drained. Facing the joint assault of Dikun and the clay puppet, they inevitably find themselves on the defensive. Though they can still hold out for the time being, judging by their current form, it's unlikely they'll be able to last much longer.

Here's the translated text, keeping the HTML tags as they are:

The joint efforts of the Earthlings and Emperor Kun had once again gained the upper hand, but Lu Xiaofeng's face was not the least bit better. Those cultivators were so afraid of this burly man in front of them, obviously, it wasn't a day's cold that made him like this. This burly man must have some other powerful means.

Shaba's eyes turned sharp as he looked at Lu Xiaoteng. He had clearly realized that the situation on the other side was not good. Di Kun's strength was insignificant at this time, but once that fearless earth puppet got involved, it would be him who suffered the consequences. He couldn't afford to wait any longer.

Thinking of this, Shaba let out a low croak from his throat, similar to that of a blood-soaked toad.

The Great Blood Toad, upon hearing this summons, immediately responded, abandoning both Lu Xiaoteng and Dongfang Yi. It flew towards Shaba.

The Blood Toad transformed into a blood light and merged into Sha Ba's powerful body. Lu Xia Tian was surprised. The other party's cultivation technique was truly extraordinary, allowing the spirit beast and the human body to merge as one. Not only was there no conflict, but it also increased their strength exponentially. In this way, this person became even more difficult to deal with.

After merging with the Great Blood Toad, Shaba's body surface was covered with a thick layer of blood toad skin. His belly suddenly bulged significantly, making him look like an inflated balloon.

Sha Ba let out a strange and chilling laugh. As his compatibility with the Mahe Blood Toad increased, Sha Ba's aura also rose steadily, surpassing that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator by far. Only after this surge of energy subsided did Sha Ba charge ferociously toward Lu Xia Tian.

The Earthsplitter clashed with Shaba's Bloodblade, but unlike before, Shaba didn't recoil. He seemed unaffected and instead madly raised his Bloodblade again, lunging at Lu Xia Tian.

...to the sudden surge of power from Shaba, Lu Xia Tian was incredibly surprised. He hadn't expected that after Shaba merged with Mohe Blood Toad, its strength would actually double, reaching such a terrifying level. No wonder he dared to chase them with his men, even seeing that they still had the power to fight back, he remained fearless, and his own strength had reached such a level as well...

Lu Xia Tian was enraged, looking at this toad-like figure, he felt an overwhelming disgust. A good human cultivator, actually practicing such a sinister technique, cultivating himself into something neither human nor ghost.

The blade in his hand slashed like a phantom, striking against the sand giant's blood-stained blade dozens of times in the blink of an eye.

The storm stirred up by the two magical artifacts clashing was powerful enough to keep ordinary cultivators at bay.

With a clang, Shaba was aroused by the killing intent. Ignoring Lu Xia tian's slash aimed at his shoulder, he directly thrust his hand towards Lu Xia tian's neck.

Lu Xia Tian’s body suddenly shrunk, not from bent legs, but a sudden sinking spell that lowered him slightly. Lu Xia Tian used the momentum to slash downwards from his shoulder with his blade.

Only slashing on the rough skin of the blood toad did Lu Xia Tian discover that his Lie Di Dao was like cutting onto a piece of solid stone, only leaving a shallow white mark. It failed to cause much damage at all. Lu Xia Tian was incredibly shocked in his heart. After this burly man merged with the Maha Blood Toad, not only was his attack power surging, but his defense had also reached such a terrifying level, it was truly inconceivable.

With a bang! The moment Lu Xia Tian's blade struck the sandstorm, the sandstorm buckled its knees and slammed into Lu Xia Tian's abdomen.

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

With a sudden and intense pain in his abdomen, Lu Xia Tian's eyes turned red. His body was originally about to be flung away, but now he could no longer care about Dong Fang Yi's situation. With a gentle push, Lu Xia Tian sent Dong Fang Yi flying backwards. On the other side, the clay golem struck down another man. As long as he could hold off the burly man in front of him, Dong Fang Yi would be safe.

In this situation, with his legs immobile, Lu Xiaoteng was utterly passive. If he had to compete in speed with this hulking man, he would definitely lose. And the brawny man, seeing that his subordinates were starting to falter, knew it was only a matter of time before he was defeated by Di Kun and the Earthman puppets working together. He also wanted to quickly dispose of the young man with silver hair in front of him. After all, as long as this silver-haired youth was around, there was no way Di Kun would be subdued by him.

Originally, he thought this fierce knee strike would knock the silver-haired youth away, but the silver-haired youth's reaction speed far exceeded his expectations.

Lu Xia Tian made his decision in the blink of an eye, directly throwing Dongfang Yi onto a patch of lush grass. Freeing one hand, he grabbed Sha Ba's shoulder and, gritting his teeth against a churning pain in his abdomen, swung his sword down once more with all his might.

The Sand King was taken aback. He hadn't expected this seemingly calm and intelligent young man, Lu Xiaoteng, to have such a crazy and reckless side. He shook his shoulders, but couldn't shake him off for a moment. Lu Xiaoteng's sharp blade had already slashed down. It was so fast that it was impossible to dodge.

Shaba's eyes flashed with a murderous glint. With the other person's strength, using this desperate fighting style, it was unrealistic to want to break free so easily. Shaba's heart was also filled with rage. In fact, cultivators who practiced this kind of symbiotic battle technique with demonic beasts had their mindsets already influenced by part of the demonic beast. Some demonic beasts were bloodthirsty, some were warlike, and so on. And Maha Xue Chan was particularly bloody.

Shaba, seeing that he couldn't break free from Lu Xia Tian, raised his Blood Blade and stabbed towards him.

Lu Xia Tian's crack-earth knife turned, striking Sha Ba's Blood Blade once more. The two engaged in a fierce close-quarters battle. In terms of strength, Sha Ba, after merging with Mo He Xue Chan, was almost on par with Lu Xia Tian. Both his power and speed were terrifyingly impressive, leaving the two evenly matched. However, Lu Xia Tian's injured legs put him at a disadvantage in such close combat.

The only strange thing was that the Shaba seemed a bit off. Even though he had an advantage in his current physical state, when they actually fought, he didn't seem to gain much of an upper hand. The silver-haired youth's fighting style was fierce, but there was a hint of calmness in his eyes amidst the madness.
