Xuan Chengzi's Trump Card: The Impervious Evil Puppets!

"Pah! You old, undying wretch! You've made my life miserable! You've had this coming for a long time!"

Qin Yang was unafraid.

Xuan Chengzi was the one facing disaster now. What did he have to fear?

Besides, even in the worst-case scenario, he could simply start over again. Now that experts from the Yunqing Sect had arrived, it proved that the plan and ideas of this lifetime were completely viable.

He could absolutely use the Yunqing Sect to escape the clutches of this Old Devil.

Not only that, he could also rely on the Yunqing Sect to find a way to resolve the Soul Locking Pill poison. That was the most important matter of all!

"You little wretch, you're courting death!"

Xuan Chengzi's expression instantly darkened. His mental state clearly seemed rather unstable, and his eyes radiated a terrifying crimson light that sent chills down one's spine!

But just as he was about to kill Qin Yang and Tan Yurou, Ye Zishuang moved even faster.

There was no way she could stand by and watch this Old Devil, Xuan Chengzi, lay a hand on her most beloved disciple!

"You're quite the Old Devil. You truly have some ability. You really are an evil cultivator from the Tianyin Sect!"

"Today, I'll scatter your soul and send you beyond the reach of the mortal world, so you can never harm anyone again!"

Ye Zishuang spoke coldly.

She could tell that the Old Devil Xuan Chengzi before her was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm Third Layer, somewhat weaker than she was.

Moreover, she had brought a group of disciples with her this time and even set up the Cloud Sun Sword Formation. Xuan Chengzi would find it difficult not to die!

"Listen to my command. Use the Yunyang Sword Qi to slay this evil fiend!"

Ye Zishuang spoke and issued her order.

The nine disciples at the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer who had already surrounded the cave abode immediately sprang into action.

Their coordination was flawless, clearly the result of countless rounds of tempering.

Now that they joined forces and activated the formation with all their might, the Cloud Sun Sword Formation instantly resounded with clashing Sword Qi!

Clang, clang, clang!

The Sword Qi rang out with an exceptionally crisp sound.

In the blink of an eye, a visible sword-qi rainbow condensed once more, then howled as it cleaved toward Xuan Chengzi!

Seeing such terrifying Sword Qi, Qin Yang's heart trembled, and he could not help feeling delighted.

"As expected, only experts from the Yunqing Sect can come and suppress this old bastard Xuan Chengzi. Let's see how you survive this time!"

Qin Yang felt immensely gratified.

He stood shoulder to shoulder with Tan Yurou as they watched the battle unfold before them.

The sword-qi rainbow condensed within the Cloud Sun Sword Formation poured down like a river of stars. Its peerless sword intent blotted out the sky and covered the earth, completely purging the evil aura from this place!

But what no one had expected was that two pitch-black monsters suddenly roared out from beneath the cave abode and charged into battle!

Roar!

These were two humanoid monsters whose bodies were entirely covered in dense evil aura. They radiated powerful fluctuations of wicked energy as they burst forth, forcibly taking the terrifying sword strike from the Cloud Sun Sword Formation on Xuan Chengzi's behalf!

Boom!

The Cloud Sun Sword Qi struck the two pitch-black monsters, yet it could not shake them in the slightest.

Not only could it not move them, the Sword Qi merely left behind a dazzling shower of sparks on their bodies. It was completely unable to pierce their defenses!

"What?!"

"There are monsters like these too?!"

At this sight, not only did Ye Zishuang's brows knit tightly, but Zhao Ling and the others were also utterly horrified. They had never imagined that two pitch-black, fiendish monsters had been lurking inside the Old Devil's cave abode, emerging at the critical moment to take the blow for Xuan Chengzi!

"That's not right. Qin Yang never said anything about these two monsters. Could he have deliberately hidden them to trap us?!"

Zhao Ling spoke first.

But Ye Zishuang keenly sensed that this was not the case. "No. From the looks of it, that person didn't know about these two monsters either. Don't forget, he was merely an innocent person captured and brought here by an evil cultivator. How could he know everything inside an evil cultivator's cave abode?"

Hearing this, Zhao Ling also found it very reasonable and nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, Qin Yang, inside the ruins of the cave abode, was the most shocked of them all.

The reason was that he was very familiar with the monsters' roars. He remembered something Bai Feng had told him after he started over in his second life: along the passage leading out of the cave abode, there was a dark, pitch-black path.

Back then, he had heard horrifying sounds coming from inside, but he had never paid them any heed. That had led to this oversight.

He had never expected that such terrifying monsters had been hiding along that dark, pitch-black path!

"I was careless."

"This Xuan Chengzi really hid things deeply. I've never seen him use these two monsters before. I didn't expect them to be this powerful."

"Could I actually end up capsizing in the gutter?"

Qin Yang looked at the two monsters that had appeared. They were completely impervious to blades and spears, and he could not help growing worried.

Then he looked at Xuan Chengzi.

Xuan Chengzi continuously recited incantations, controlling the two monsters to stand before him as shields while he sneered again and again.

"Heh heh heh."

"You really thought this old man had no trump cards at all?!"

"These two evil puppets were raised by this old man on the souls of countless living beings. Their physical bodies have long since been refined to the point of being indestructible—impervious to blades and spears. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators are completely incapable of doing anything to these two evil puppets of mine!"

Xuan Chengzi let out a smug, triumphant laugh!

Immediately afterward, his expression sank like water, and his killing intent caused the surrounding air to freeze solid.

"After raising troops for a thousand days, they are used in a single moment. It's time for you to act!"

"Kill every one of these disciples of the righteous path for this old man!"

Xuan Chengzi urged them on.

As soon as he said this, the two evil puppets radiating wicked energy sprang into action, moving with astonishing speed!

Whoosh!

The two evil puppets did not possess even the slightest trace of cultivation. They were nothing more than walking corpses. Yet their bodies had been refined through a special evil technique. Not only were they difficult to harm, their strength was far greater than that of Qi Refining Realm cultivators!

In the blink of an eye, one of the evil puppets reached a Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer disciple maintaining the formation and smashed his body apart with a bare-fisted punch!

Splurt!

The Yunqing Sect disciple exploded, bursting into a horrifying cloud of blood mist!

"What?!"

"How can there be such powerful evil puppets?!"

The expressions of Zhao Ling and the other two changed drastically. All three felt an immense chill rise from their backs.

One had to know that the Yunqing Sect disciples maintaining the formation were, like them, all at the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer.

Yet when faced with the evil puppet refined by Xuan Chengzi, the disciple could not even withstand a single punch and was directly blown apart!

What terrifying strength!

Most fatal of all, with one of the disciples controlling the Cloud Sun Sword Formation dead, the entire formation began to teeter on the verge of collapse. It could no longer reproduce the powerful Sword Qi from before!

"Quickly act and deal with those two evil puppets first. I'll go face that Old Devil!"

Ye Zishuang could no longer sit still. Her expression was solemn as she spoke.

As soon as her voice fell, the Jade Void Spirit Sword at her waist shot forth with a clang, and its blinding cold light caused even the sky to change color!
