For the first time, this suspicion arose in Situ Shuang'er's heart.
Xiao Yihan was also staring at Chu Yunfei's sword.
The more he looked, the more serious his expression became.
Chu Yunfei's control over his power was almost terrifying.
Each strike uses just enough power to kill the enemy, without wasting a single bit of it.
This level of combat experience is nothing like that of a young man not even twenty years old.
"No wonder the Grand Elder Qin values him so highly." Xiao Yihan slowly exhaled. "If we make an enemy of this man, unless we can kill him in one blow, the consequences will be endless."
A core disciple of the Puppet Sect, at the Divine Sea Realm Fourth Level, finally suppressed his fear and roared fiercely, "Ordinary disciples, all retreat! Core disciples, follow me and form the Nine-Corpse Soul-Severing Formation! He's been attacking with his sword continuously; his spiritual power must be depleted. We'll overwhelm him with our cultivation level!"
Six figures emerged from the chaotic crowd.
These six individuals are all veteran core disciples of the Puppet Sect and the Cangyun Sect, all over twenty-five years old, with the lowest cultivation level being the Divine Sea Realm Fourth Level.
Luo Ming, the core disciple of the Puppet Sect who led the group, had already reached the Divine Sea Realm Sixth Layer.
They all competed for the position of Holy Son in their early years, but due to their slightly inferior age and talent, they were relegated to the ranks of core disciples, waiting for the day they could become elders.
Now that Yue Chenzhou has perished, they have become the strongest group of people from the two sects in the arena.
Luo Ming raised his hand and released nine pitch-black corpse puppets, their chilling soul power locking onto Chu Yunfei. He gritted his teeth and said, "Gentlemen, there's no need to hold back any longer. If this boy doesn't die today, none of us will leave this underground palace."
Yan Tuo, a core disciple of the Cangyun Sect at the Divine Sea Realm Fifth Layer, Yan Tuo his heavy sword and unleashed all the spiritual power within his body.
He stared at the corpses scattered on the ground, his voice chilling.
"Alright, then let's attack together and kill him on the spot!"
Yan Tuo roared, the six veteran core disciples scattered simultaneously.
Two experts at the Divine Sea Realm Sixth Layer occupied the front and rear positions, while four others blocked the left and right sides. Nine corpse puppets, stepping on the blood-soaked ground, trapped Chu Yunfei in the center.
Luo Ming formed a sinister hand seal.
The green flames in the eye sockets of the nine corpse puppets lit up simultaneously, and gray-black soul chains appeared between them.
" Nine-Corpse Soul-Severing Formation!"
The soul chains intertwined, and the temperature in the underground palace dropped rapidly.
Countless ghostly wails emanated from the corpse puppet's body, and the gray mist, specifically designed to erode the soul, pressed down on Chu Yunfei's sea of consciousness.
Yan Tuo also swung his heavy sword at the same moment.
" Cangyun Mountain-Severing Slash!"
A dark blue sword aura, tens of feet long, pressed down from the front.
The other four core disciples did not rush to make a move, but instead used their spiritual seals and chains to specifically seal Chu Yunfei's Thunder Dao Movement Technique.
The main reason why the ordinary disciples were defeated was that they could not keep up with Chu Yunfei's speed.
They have learned their lesson.
First, the Soul-Severing Formation was used to suppress divine sense, then the movement area was sealed off, and finally, two experts at the Divine Sea Realm Sixth Layer were used to directly attack and kill the enemy.
In Luo Ming's view, this trap had no flaws.
"He's only at the Divine Sea Realm First Level after all."
Luo Ming stared intently at the black-clad figure in the formation, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart. "He was able to kill everyone before because of his strange movement techniques and swordsmanship. Now that his speed is sealed and his soul is being corrupted by the Nine Corpses, there is absolutely no way he can withstand Yan Tuo's full-force attack."
The onlookers also held their breath.
The gap between veteran core disciples and ordinary disciples is enormous.
Although these people are not destined for the position of Holy Son, their years of cultivation and combat experience far surpass those of young prodigies. If the six of them join forces, they are enough to kill an ordinary Divine Sea Realm Seventh Level expert.
Chu Yunfei was locked by nine soul chains, and the space beneath his feet was sealed off by four earth-grade spiritual artifacts.
On the surface, he has indeed lost his speed advantage.
Hope rekindled in Qin Hao's eyes.
"Let's see how you escape this time!"
But Chu Yunfei never considered escaping.
The moment the nine soul chains invaded the sea of consciousness, a deafening roar suddenly came from the depths of the sea of consciousness.
The golden hammer that materialized in the sea of consciousness didn't even fall; it only gave a slight tremor with a hammering sound.
The nine soul chains snapped inch by inch from Chu Yunfei's sea of consciousness as if struck by lightning.
Luo Ming suffered a backlash, his face turned deathly pale, and a mouthful of blood welled up in his throat.
"His sea of consciousness contains a secret treasure for soul defense!"
Luo Ming hastily reminded him, but Yan Tuo's azure sword energy had already landed on Chu Yunfei's head.
Chu Yunfei maintained the aura of the Divine Sea Realm First Level.
The Abyss-Devouring Sword slashed diagonally upwards.
The Sea-Overturning Ninefold Sword, four consecutive strikes!
The four layers of sword techniques are stacked upon each other in the narrow space.
The dark gold sword light collided with the azure sword energy, which only lasted for a brief moment before shattering from the center.
Yan Tuo, and the heavy sword in his hand was jolted high into the air.
Lightning flashed beneath Chu Yunfei's feet.
Just as the four magical artifacts sealing the space tightened, his figure forced his way through the gaps and appeared in front of Yan Tuo.
"The first one."
The Abyss-Devouring Sword slashed horizontally.
Yan Tuo didn't have time to sheathe his sword, so he could only raise his left arm and use a low-grade Heaven Rank Low Grade wrist guard to block.
clang!
Sparks flew from the wristband, but it didn't shatter.
Just as Yan Tuo felt a surge of joy, Chu Yunfei's sword had already slid along the edge of his wrist guard and cut into his throat.
Fresh blood spurted out.
Yan Tuo's head rolled to the ground, but his dantian Divine Sea were completely preserved.
Chu Yunfei swept the corpse away with a backhand, and lightning flashed once more.
The second- Divine Sea Realm Fifth Layer was about to retreat when a sword pierced through his brow.
The third person summoned a protective spirit bell, but Chu Yunfei shattered it with a punch and then pierced his heart with a sword.
The fourth person turned and lunged at the outer crowd, attempting to use the Rogue Cultivator as an obstacle, but was pierced through the chest from behind by a dark golden Sword Qi.
Within moments, four of the six core disciples had died.
The confidence on Luo Ming's face vanished completely.
The Nine-Corpse Soul-Severing Formation was backfired on by the divine soul, and the nine corpse puppets also became sluggish due to the formation breaking.
He looked at Chu Yunfei approaching with his sword and felt that the aura of the Divine Sea Realm First Level was ridiculously fake.
You've been hiding your true strength!
Luo Ming roared, slamming his fist against his chest and spitting a mouthful of blood onto the nine corpse puppets. "No matter what level you hide in, you won't leave here alive today!"
The nine corpse puppets devoured the essence blood, causing their aura to surge briefly.
Luo Ming then took the opportunity to retreat, hoping to reunite with the last core disciple of the Cangyun Sect.
Chu Yunfei did not give chase.
He plunged the Abyss-Devouring Sword into the ground, clenched his fists with both hands, and unleashed a blow to the left and right sides respectively.
The dark gold fist force swept across like two angry dragons.
The chests of the four corpse puppets on the left collapsed, and their cores exploded on the spot.
The five corpse puppets on the right flew backward one after another, smashing the last two core disciples into the stone wall.
Chu Yunfei drew his sword and followed.
Two flashes of sword light appeared one after the other.
Luo Ming and the last person froze simultaneously, their heart meridians shattered by the Sword Qi, killing them instantly.
Thus, all six veteran core disciples of the two sects perished.
Only heavy breathing could be heard inside the underground palace.
Yin Hanmei.
She always thought Chu Yunfei could defeat Yue Chenzhou, only because Yue Chenzhou's mind was in turmoil and he was ambushed at close range.
Even with the combined efforts of the six core disciples, they couldn't hold out for even ten breaths.
This man's true strength far exceeded her expectations.
Continuing to keep it will only lead to its demise.
Yin Hanmei bit her tongue, spitting a mouthful of her life essence blood onto the puppet pattern between her eyebrows.
The gray lines quickly spread to her cheeks and neck.
Her inner Divine Sea churned violently, and an extremely strange physical pressure awakened within her.
The three damaged black-armored corpse puppets suddenly raised their heads.
The severed arm was re-condensed by the grayish-white corpse energy, and the broken armor also healed rapidly. The aura that was originally at the Divine Sea Realm Fifth Layer rose all the way up and finally stopped at the Divine Sea Realm Seventh Level.
Three corpse puppets at the Divine Sea Realm Seventh Level!
The four-armed battle puppet left behind by Yue Chenzhou after his death was also covered with gray patterns, and its aura had also broken through to the Divine Sea Realm Sixth Layer.
Four corpse puppets surrounded Yin Hanmei, like four killing gods emerging from the underworld.
The nearby cultivators retreated in shock.
"Special physical condition?"
Xiao Yihan's eyes narrowed. "Her physique can actually strengthen the corpse puppet. The Puppet Sect has kept this a secret for a long time."
Even Yue Chenzhou, as the Holy Son, seemed unaware that Yin Hanmei possessed this trump card.
As Yin Hanmei sensed the power of the four corpse puppets, a chilling smile returned to her pale face.
" Chu Yunfei, you were able to force me to use the Nether Puppet Spirit Physique; you certainly have reason to be proud."
She clasped her hands together, and four corpse puppets lunged out simultaneously. "Unfortunately, three corpse puppets at the Divine Sea Realm Seventh Level, plus one at the Divine Sea Realm Sixth Layer. Even Divine Sea Realm Eighth Level would perish."
You will die today!
