This giant python was actually a peak Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator, and its speed was so fast that ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivators couldn't react in time.
Boom!
The giant python collided violently with Lin Yu, sending Lin Yu flying and crashing to the ground. He tasted a sweetness in his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
This giant python was indeed incredibly powerful. Although Lin Yu used his sword intent, he was still no match for it and was injured instantly.
"Hahaha! Lin Yu, you've finally met your match!" The young man stood to the side, laughing triumphantly.
Lin Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glanced at the young man with a cold smile, and said, "You did this on purpose!"
"Intentionally?" The young man was slightly taken aback, clearly somewhat puzzled.
"Hmph! Playing dumb?" Lin Yu sneered, "You deliberately lured me out to deal with me, but you didn't expect my cultivation to be higher than yours. You fooled me! You want me to kill you, don't you?"
"Hmph, I don't understand what you're talking about," the young man retorted stubbornly.
"Heh." Lin Yu sneered, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, there are no other cultivators here anyway, so your schemes won't work!"
"Hmph, you think you can keep me here with just a mere Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator? Dream on!"
The young man's face contorted in rage, and suddenly he slapped his own chest.
"Sizzle!"
A shattering sound rang out, and the young man's clothes instantly turned to dust.
Lin Yu's expression changed slightly, and he quickly retreated several meters, keeping a safe distance.
This young man actually tore off his clothes, intending to die together with Lin Yu. Has he gone mad?
"Oh no, be careful, he's destroying his clothes to try and take me down with him," Lin Yu thought to himself, quickly drawing his longsword and holding it to his chest.
"Hmph, I'm going to self-destruct, you won't be able to escape either!" The young man sneered, emanating a terrifying aura as his figure gradually disappeared.
He actually destroyed his own nascent soul!
Self-destruction is an extremely terrifying technique. Once it occurs, the nascent soul explodes with immense power. Even a Spirit Transformation stage expert wouldn't dare to withstand such an attack head-on, and Lin Yu is no exception.
However, Lin Yu's physical strength is already extremely powerful, so the self-destruction technique will only cause him limited damage, and it will take a long time to recover after the self-destruction.
"Whoosh!"
Just then, the young man's afterimage suddenly appeared behind Lin Yu.
"Die!"
Boom!
A beam of purple light slammed directly into Lin Yu's Lin Yu, tearing the skin off his back.
"What a terrifying physical body!" The young man's expression changed slightly.
He originally thought that Lin Yu, with his peak Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm cultivation, would be no match for him, but he never expected that Lin Yu's physical body would be so powerful.
"Hmph, since that's how it is, then I'll deal with you first." The young man's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"Hmph, since that's how it is, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As the young man spoke, he suddenly plunged the black dagger in his hand into the man's chest, ripping out his heart and throwing it in front of Lin Yu.
"Pfft!"
Immediately, the young man's body vanished with the wind, turning into ashes.
Lin Yu picked up the dagger, his face beaming with excitement. He hadn't expected this young man to be so wealthy; even the things he casually pulled out were so many treasures.
"Huh!"
Lin Yu discovered a jade tablet, its inscriptions shimmering, emanating a strange aura.
Lin Yu opened the jade tablet and discovered that it contained the method for crafting a puppet talisman, as well as the power of that talisman.
To craft a puppet talisman, special materials are required, and the requirements are very stringent; only ancient weapon refiners can do it.
Most importantly, it requires the essence and blood of a powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm or above as a medium to activate this puppet talisman.
A single drop of the essence blood of a weapon refiner is worth tens of thousands of crystal cores. If it were an ordinary weapon refiner, they would absolutely not be willing to use such essence blood to refine puppet talismans, but that young man was willing to do so, which means that the young man must be of extraordinary status.
"Hehe, looks like I'm really lucky today. I've run into such a fat sheep. I might as well fleece it!" Lin Yu chuckled.
With a thought, Lin Yu's puppet talisman transformed into endless runes, which merged into his body.
With a thought, Lin Yu channeled a powerful surge of soul energy into the puppet talisman, controlling it to move through the void until it finally coalesced into a puppet.
This is a black-robed young puppet with a fierce face, wielding a three-pointed, double-edged sword, looking extremely terrifying.
Lin Yu was overjoyed. With this puppet, he would have a fighting chance even against a Spirit Transformation stage expert.
Moreover, although this puppet looks very powerful, it doesn't actually have any real strength.
It can only exert the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Realm.
"Hehe, kid, I know you're powerful, but I don't believe this puppet talisman can't do anything to you!" The young man chuckled, and suddenly a silver spear appeared in his hand. The silver spear didn't look very big, but it carried a terrifying aura that made Lin Yu's heart skip a beat.
"Nine Heavens' Deadly Snatch!"
The young man brandished his silver spear and thrust it out instantly, a sharp silver spear light whistling out.
Whoosh!
Lin Yu quickly activated his true essence shield to resist the attack of the silver spear.
Lin Yu was greatly alarmed, realizing that his defenses were not very effective against the silver spear's attacks.
After piercing through Lin Yu's true essence shield, the spear's light went straight through Lin Yu's shoulder, leaving a bloody wound that seeped into his clothes.
"Wow, this guy's attack is incredibly powerful!" Lin Yu was deeply shocked.
"However, such an attack has no effect on me, which only means that this puppet's grade is still low. Otherwise, even a Nascent Spirit Transformation stage cultivator at their peak would probably find it difficult to withstand my attack!" Lin Yu smiled. "Since that's the case, then I'll test the power of this puppet talisman!"
Thinking of this, Lin Yu formed hand seals and activated the puppet talisman.
Whoosh!
A streak of light shot out from the silver spear, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the top of the young man's head, turning into a black hole.
"Oh no!"
The young man's expression changed drastically. He had been so focused on escaping that he hadn't noticed the existence of the black hole, which contained an extremely dangerous aura that made his heart tremble.
"Whoosh!"
Just then, a new black hole suddenly burst forth from the black hole, swallowing the young man whole.
"Bang!"
The black hole exploded, turning into a cloud of black smoke that disappeared into the sky, leaving only ruins drifting on the horizon, which quickly vanished as well.
