Li Chen listened to their wild boasting and idle chatter, secretly amused.
How could these street thugs possibly be a match for Wu Ding?
Old Wu might have looked a little shabby, but he was a genuine Qi Refining expert, a cultivator at the tenth level!
He had also cultivated lightning spells from the Other Continent, gaining the ability to turn lightning into spears and unleash thunderbolts through the air. Even three or five ordinary puppets could not get close to him.
Without a technique like the Silk-Threading Art to keep their mechanisms running, the ordinary puppets sold on the market could not possibly hurt him.
Still, it looks like he came off worse. The Earthly Sha Sect is a jumble of dragons and snakes. Who knows what experts and extraordinary talents are hiding among them? One careless moment, and he really could capsize in a gutter.
But why would they go after Old Wu? To seize human materials? Could someone really have set their sights on him, intending to use his body to refine a Human Puppet?
This Brother Hei is clearly just a minor boss. He doesn't have that kind of ability, but the men above him who get called "Master" have the nerve and ambition to do something like this.
