The man’s face wore a ferocious smile, his long blade gleamed coldly, and he charged fiercely at the seemingly defenseless Chen Ye!
"Old fool, your guards have left, now it’s your turn!"
Mere mid-stage Qi Cultivation Spirit Plant Cultivator...
However, things did not go as the tall man expected.
In his thoughts, this Spirit Plant Cultivator should have been in a panic, yet at this moment his face showed no trace of panic, instead he looked at him expressionlessly.
He didn’t dodge or evade, only at the moment the long blade was about to reach him, his figure shifted half a step to the left like a ghost, narrowly avoiding the fatal strike!
Cloud Chasing Step!
The Limit-Breaking Realm’s Heavy Body Technique granted him agility and reflexes far superior to cultivators of the same level!
"Hmm?" The tall man’s slash hit empty air, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He hadn’t expected this seemingly frail old man to have such a bizarre movement technique.
Before he could change his move, Chen Ye’s fingertips suddenly burst with golden light!
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
Three extremely concentrated streaks of Geng Metal Qi Aura shot directly at the tall man’s face, throat, and heart!
"Trivial tricks! Spirit Plant Technique for killing pests, and you think you can kill a person? Ridiculous..."
The tall man snorted coldly, summoning a small black shield, effortlessly blocking the three streaks of Geng Metal Qi.
But just as he thought he had neutralized Chen Ye’s attack, his expression suddenly changed!
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."
More than a dozen streaks of Geng Metal Qi Aura appeared as if from nowhere, instantly forming.
From all directions, at various tricky and eerie angles, they enveloped him!
"How is this possible?!"
The tall man was shocked and scared. He never imagined that a mid-stage Qi Cultivation Spirit Plant Cultivator could instantaneously unleash so many Geng Metal Qi!
The level of spiritual power control and concentration speed was simply unheard of!
In panic, he desperately summoned the small shield in an attempt to block them.
But the number of Geng Metal Qi Aura was overwhelming, and the angles were too tricky, even with three heads and six arms, it was difficult to block them all!
"Pfft! Pfft! Ssskt!"
Golden light flashed, and blood splattered!
Despite the tall man’s utmost efforts to defend, several streaks of Geng Metal Qi pierced through his body!
Left shoulder, right arm, thigh... fresh blood dyed his robes red in an instant!
The intense pain caused him to emit groans, and his offensive momentum stagnated, becoming utterly disordered.
"How can a pest-killing technique not end lives?"
Chen Ye sneered, thinking secretly to himself.
It seems the small shield is his Protective Magical Artifact; perhaps it’s time to try the Third-Layer Cyan Wave Sword Control Technique...
His mind moved, and the black Iron Sword behind him abruptly unsheathed!
"Clang!"
The sword resonated clearly, and under his precise control with Divine Sense, the Iron Sword transformed into a misty cyan stream of light, audibly slicing through the air, and headed straight for the already injured tall man!
The sword light surged like waves crashing onto the shore, its momentum continuous, seemingly light and agile, but during the rapid movement, its weight of over a hundred pounds concentrated at one point.
"Bang!"
Even with the small shield for protection, the overwhelming impact still caused the tall man to bleed incessantly.
Is this the famed delicately mysterious Flying Sword he’s heard of?
Fear haunted the tall man’s face.
Unless he fought desperately, he was likely to fall here!
A trace of fierceness flickered in his eyes.
"Old thing, you’re forcing me!" the tall man roared, abruptly retrieving something from the Storage Bag at his waist and slammed it to the ground.
"Boom!"
A burst of smoke erupted. When it cleared, a puppet about half a person’s height appeared in the area!
The puppet was entirely crafted from dark metal, joints glinting with a cold, icy light, arms stout, one hand holding a shield, the other wielding a short axe.
The puppet’s eye sockets sparkled with red light, and upon its emergence, it let out a deep growl, standing guard in front of the tall man.
"A member of the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect?" Chen Ye’s pupils narrowed.
The tall man chuckled maliciously: "Old thing, it seems your knowledge is not lacking! Today, I’ll let you taste the power of my Ten Thousand Puppet Sect puppet!"
He crafted a spell with his hands, and the metal puppet immediately started moving in heavy steps, the short axe whistling towards Chen Ye’s Iron Sword, while the shield on its left arm guarded its vital points.
"Clang!"
The Iron Sword clashed fiercely with the short axe and was sent flying backward!
Chen Ye was taken aback by the puppet’s immense strength, far exceeding the usual late-stage body cultivating cultivator!
Furthermore, its metallic body was exceedingly hard, making it likely immune to ordinary Flying Swords.
Seeing the puppet gaining the upper hand, a smirk of satisfaction appeared on the tall man’s face.
He, meanwhile, hid behind the puppet, readying himself for a sneak attack.
Chen Ye’s eyes narrowed slightly, realizing that if he didn’t swiftly deal with this puppet, he might end up under attack from both sides if Li Qiuyun encountered trouble elsewhere.
He no longer hesitated, focusing all his Divine Sense to urge the floating Iron Sword, which suddenly gleamed with a cyan light!
"Cyan Wave Line!"
The Iron Sword turned into an extremely concentrated streak of cyan sword light, surging forward with unstoppable momentum, its cyan glow intensifying brilliantly!
This strike, Chen Ye had utilized the Cyan Wave Sword Control Technique’s killing move, its power astonishing!
The tall man observed, his face changing dramatically, completely unprepared for Chen Ye’s Flying Sword to explode with such terrifying power!
He hurriedly tried to command the puppet to retreat, but it was already too late!
"Boom!"
A thunderous crash, the Iron Sword, wrapped in invincible might, smashed fiercely onto the Gold-Split puppet’s head!
The seemingly indestructible metallic head, under this thunderous blow, shattered like fragile porcelain, scattering countless metallic fragments in all directions!
"No! My Gold-Split Puppet!"
The tall man let out a piercing shriek, this Gold-Split puppet had cost him most of his possessions, it was his greatest reliance, now destroyed by Chen Ye’s single sword strike!
