Zheng Que's Conspiracy? (Second Update!)

Bang!

With a muffled thud, Zheng Que blocked Yin Congyi's punch with one hand.

He did not dare use his full strength. Most of his attention remained fixed on guarding against a sudden move from Yan Bingyi, Yin Congyi's Master.

Not only that, but to this point, he had not used a single one of his three spells: [Yin Spirit Devours Resentment], [Furious Soul Seal], and [United Heart Ghost Hand].

This was to prevent Yin Congyi from having cultivated some means specifically capable of countering his spells.

So far, every move he had made was merely a test.

The moment Yan Bingyi entered the fray personally, he would immediately abandon this soul puppet and Self-Destruct!

If necessary, even Zheng Clan Market could be abandoned. His true body would immediately pack up and flee far away!

There was no shame in doing so when facing a high-ranking cultivator from beyond the domain whose methods were impossible to predict.

After all, the Immortal Examination had only just begun. The market could be rebuilt, resource sites could be seized anew, but one only had a single life.

At that moment, seeing Zheng Que block his punch, Yin Congyi did not hesitate. He immediately reversed his hand and struck a palm toward Zheng Que's lower abdomen.

Zheng Que promptly raised an arm to block while kicking at his opponent's lower body.

Bang, bang, bang...

The two traded blows, instantly engaging in close-quarters combat. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged dozens, even over a hundred moves.

Just then, the female Core Formation cultivator charged over and joined the battle. Her target was clear as she drove a palm straight at Zheng Que.

Boom!!

Amid the deafening blast, the force of her palm sent sand and stones rolling everywhere. Even the blood mist
