"Big fish" like them were bound to receive special attention, so naturally, they would not be playing hide-and-seek here like ordinary disciples.
Yet, just as he rubbed his chin in thought...
He suddenly saw a blurred figure flash through the dense grove of ancient trees ahead, followed closely by three Mystic Tier Superior War Puppets rumbling after it.
"I've struck it rich!"
Judging by their auras, the three Mystic Tier Superior War Puppets before him, along with the fleeing figure, were unmistakably all Core Disciples!
Chun Xiaobai's eyes immediately lit up, and he silently followed them.
Rumble!
The fleeing figure ahead seemed to have reached the end of his rope. He abruptly spun around, pulled out a stack of yellow Talismans, and hurled them viciously at the three War Puppets pursuing him!
Amid a series of deafening blasts, dazzling flames exploded across the three War Puppets.
The terrifying energy impact cracked one War Puppet's armor outright. The runes inscribed on it flickered, and even its movements grew sluggish.
"Holy shit!"
"Third-tier Explosive Talismans!"
"This bastard really is a big spender!"
Chun Xiaobai immediately locked onto the staggering War Puppet.
The third-tier Talismans had clearly damaged this War Puppet's core formation, causing problems with its movements.
"You're first on the chopping block!"
Chun Xiaobai activated Heaven-Treading Steps, darting close like a phantom. With Heaven-Rending Hand, he tore open the crown of its head and plunged inside, then sealed the disciple's acupoints with Heaven-Sealing Finger, completing the entire sequence in one seamless motion!
Then he set his sights on another War Puppet, which was about to cut off the fleeing figure's escape route, and darted toward it.
The Core Disciple fleeing for his life happened to witness his movements.
Overjoyed, the disciple immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Junior brother!
