Killing the Puppets

Meanwhile, Medusa, who was fighting two puppets, froze upon seeing Lin Mu make his move. She immediately retreated a thousand meters, staring at the Black and White Great Hand radiating terrifying might. She could not help muttering to herself, "Just who is this man? Why does he have so many terrifying trump cards?"

Boom!

Space trembled violently. The space at the center of the explosion completely collapsed, and Lin Mu emerged from the point of impact. Black and White Flames blazed fiercely upon the Purple Spirit Sword in his hand as he slashed out a Scorching Sword Light.

The puppet that had been blasted into the ground by the Great Heavenly Punishment was already badly damaged, yet it still rose to its feet. An eerie Green Light spread across its body, linking with the others and forming a Green Ring!

The ring appeared calm, but it concealed irresistible killing intent. The sword light Lin Mu had swung out was shattered in midair just like that.

"Interesting. That Green Light can not only combine their strength, but also gradually restore their injuries."

Lightning flashed beneath Lin Mu's feet, and he suddenly appeared before the puppets. In an instant, he unleashed lightning across the sky, intending to sever the links between them.

Boom!

A tremor suddenly came from the nearby space. Lin Mu frowned slightly, but the lightning in his hand still shot forth!

The Overbearing Lightning severed the links between the puppets, but Lin Mu was also sent flying by a punch from a puppet that had suddenly appeared beside him. That punch, possessing the power of a Peak Dou Emperor, had even touched upon spatial power. Under that single punch, the space ahead was nearly compressed out of shape!

Lin Mu retreated a long distance before finally stopping.

"That thing packs quite a punch..."

Lin Mu's arm trembled continuously, and a drop of blood even slid from his sleeve.

The Chaos Six Paths behind him opened, and the Six Paths Samsara Method within his body began to evolve. A Small World shone with dazzling light, after which two flames descended before Lin Mu.

They were the Yin Yang Twin Flames and the Seven-Colored Spirit Flame.

Boom!

A sea of flames swept across the sky, while the Seven-Colored Spirit Flame flew toward Medusa. This was naturally Lin Mu's intention. Not only were these puppets powerful individually, but two or more of them could even link together and unleash greater strength.

Even with Medusa's formidable power, facing two alone placed her under considerable pressure.

Moreover, the Seven-Colored Spirit Flame would not cause any rejection from Medusa's bloodline. It would also obey her commands, making her combat strength even greater!

"So this is the true Seven-Colored Spirit Flame?"

Medusa looked at the Seven-Colored Spirit Flame circling around her, then shifted her gaze toward Lin Mu.

Lin Mu gave her a faint smile and moved his lips, seemingly saying, "Once I deal with these three, I'll come help you!"

"Hmph. This Queen will not be slower than you."

Medusa gave a light snort, swept up the Seven-Colored Spirit Flame behind her, and charged toward the two puppets ahead!

"With the Seven-Colored Spirit Flame helping Medusa, defeating those puppets should not be a problem. Now, it is time to deal with these three."

Lin Mu stepped forward. Boundless Black and White Flames surged forth and, under his powerful Soul Power, gathered in the air into a Fire Dragon that roared as it descended.

Roar!

The three puppets roared and shot into the sky with identical movements. Eerie Green Light burst from each of them, and the power they released may have briefly reached the Dou Zong level!

If they were ordinary Dou Zong experts, they likely would not have been able to take down these three puppets in a short time.

Kun Peng Method!

Lin Mu spoke in a deep voice. Space shattered beneath his footsteps, and within the flames filling the sky, the Kun Peng Method evolved the Yin Yang Law. The Giant Kun and the Peng Bird appeared at the same time, radiating Yin Yang Power and burning with the Yin Yang Twin Flames as they descended from the sky!

This strike was terrifying beyond measure!

Although the Great Heavenly Punishment and the Kun Peng Method were both Lin Mu's strongest trump cards at present, the Kun Peng Method was undoubtedly better suited to his own cultivation.

Furthermore, the Kun Peng Method itself contained the power of the Yin Yang Law, while the Yin Yang Twin Flames also contained power of the same level. When the two were combined, the burden on Lin Mu was immense, but the results were exceptionally effective!

Boom!

As if all things were evolving within its mouth, the Giant Kun charged out first and collided with the three puppets in midair. Yet all the force unleashed by the collision was absorbed by the Peng Bird soaring through the sky!

Dazzling Golden Light spread in every direction. Lin Mu continued operating the Six Paths Samsara Method, and the sole Small World he had opened shone with divine brilliance, releasing Chaos Qi to restore his depleted strength.

"Is this the Great Dao Aura contained within the Six Paths Samsara Method? It can help me rapidly recover my consumption."

A smile appeared on Lin Mu's face. He gripped the Purple Spirit Sword and unleashed another sword light!

At the same time, the Giant Kun dissolved into specks of light. However, the three puppets had clearly been held back, and this was precisely the chance for the Peng Bird in the sky to attack. The Peng Bird transformed into a streak of light, pierced through space, and slammed into the puppets.

Lin Mu vanished and appeared before Xiao Yi Xian. Dou Qi surged from within him, shielding Xiao Yi Xian.

"Medusa, fall back!"

Lin Mu's shout made Medusa frown. However, sensing the terrifying Energy Storm, she struck back the puppet she had already battered into a wreck, then instantly landed beside Lin Mu.

The storm continued for several minutes before gradually subsiding.

"How did it go?" Xiao Yi Xian asked.

As the Energy Storm dispersed, the five puppets gradually came into the trio's view.

However, the puppets no longer possessed their earlier imposing presence. Their limbs lay broken and battered across the ground, and the Green Light emerging from their bodies had vanished as well.

"They are dealt with."

Lin Mu let out a breath. "This Medicine Valley truly is dangerous. If anyone else had broken the seal of the Calamity Poison Body and entered this place, they probably would have fallen to these five puppets."

"With the five puppets joining forces, even a Dou Zong would have to avoid their edge."

Lin Mu looked at the Seven-Colored Spirit Flame still circling Medusa and smiled faintly. "You might as well try absorbing the Seven-Colored Spirit Flame back into your body. Although it can be considered one of the Heavenly Flames, it differs from ordinary Heavenly Flames."

"It is extremely compatible with your constitution. You can control it freely in battle as well. Consider it a chance for the Seven-Colored Spirit Flame to familiarize itself with your body in advance, so its later evolution will proceed more smoothly."

Medusa was stunned. Lin Mu had indeed promised her, but seeing him so generously give the Seven-Colored Spirit Flame to her still surprised her slightly.

"And you?"

Medusa asked. In her eyes, the Seven-Colored Spirit Flame was also part of Lin Mu's combat strength. Giving it to her so readily would certainly reduce Lin Mu's overall battle power.
