Just now, Shi Kai's earth-shattering blow was also blocked by the opponent's puppet swarm. Although Li Chengfeng also suffered heavy losses, the value of those puppets was considerable, leaving people speechless.
You must know that manufacturing a puppet can sell for thousands of spirit stones on the market, and Li Chengfeng lost so many at once. Moreover, driving a puppet also requires spirit stones. This consumption is simply an astronomical figure for ordinary cultivators.
Li Chengfeng drove the remaining 90 puppets, overwhelming Xu Huixin.
At the same time, other experts from the Demonic Sect surrounded them, preparing to launch a ruthless sneak attack once Xu Huixin showed any weakness.
The Demonic Sect showed such a strong willingness to cooperate for the first time, which made Xu Huixin feel pressured.
She saw through Li Chengfeng's intentions, but she was also helpless because she was also here for the Nine Desires Celestial Bloom.
However, such a situation was almost a dead end for her.
Just as Xu Huixin was feeling desperate, a Tong Pass behind her suddenly collapsed, and a dazzling light burst out from it. After the light dissipated, a young man in white appeared.
He had an otherworldly temperament, like an immortal banished from heaven, exuding a faint pressure all over his body, making people involuntarily feel awe.
As soon as he appeared, he seemed to be cutting the surrounding air, causing a slight mental pain. He had bright eyes and white teeth, and was breathtakingly handsome. He was the senior brother of the elite disciples of the Skysea Sword Sect—Zhang Xingzhu.
Zhang Xingzhu looked at Xu Huixin with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness and firmness: "Junior sister, you came to seize the Nine Desires Celestial Bloom for me. I will remember this kindness in my heart.
I said I would protect you, no matter where you go, I will follow."
Xu Huixin looked at Zhang Xingzhu in front of her, and the despair in her heart was replaced by a trace of warmth.
She didn't expect Zhang Xingzhu to appear suddenly at such a critical moment. She knew that Zhang Xingzhu was highly skilled, and with his help, she might be able to reverse the situation.
Xu Huixin looked at the other party in surprise and asked, "Senior brother, how can you come over? You wait for me to obtain the Nine Desires Celestial Bloom and synthesize the Nine Nether Earth Fiend for you. Then you can condense a top-grade Foundation Establishment, and the two of us can advance to the Foundation Establishment stage together. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
There was a hint of anger in her tone besides surprise.
Zhang Xingzhu laughed and said, "How can I let my junior sister work so hard for my advancement to Foundation Establishment?
Let's leave this Nine Nether Celestial Bloom for you. Although I didn't use the Nine Nether Earth Fiend to condense it, my Foundation Establishment is still perfect. I have this confidence.
Junior sister, keep this Nine Desires Celestial Bloom for yourself, because I don't need it."
After saying that, a vast aura emanated from his body. This was the aura of the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but the pressure went straight into the sky, making people shudder.
The Demonic Path crowd felt this aura and fled into the air one after another.
They knew that they were powerless to turn the tide. Facing Zhang Xingzhu, who was already at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, staying here would only lead to death.
Zhang Xingzhu's eyes contained a murderous aura, and he said, "Now that I have been forced to appear, you still want to leave? You really don't know how to live or die!"
He let out a soft shout, and with a wave of his hand, a flying sword appeared, burning with a brilliant flame. This was a Fire Leaving Arrow, a top-grade magic weapon, and it was very compatible with him.
He cultivated the Heavenly Fire Cloud Mountain Sword Technique. With a whoosh, the sword pierced through the air and turned into a stream of light, heading straight for Xue Ming, who was running the fastest.
When Xue Ming saw this, he directly used his Blood Shield to escape, but he became Zhang Xingzhu's target.
Xue Ming suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind him. Although his Blood Shield technique was powerful, it was still not as fast as the opponent's sword.
The Fire Leaving Sword was not only the most powerful in attack but also the fastest in speed. Xue Ming only felt a pain all over his body, and then he lost consciousness. His whole body burned and turned into a fireball, dying a tragic death.
The Fire Leaving Sword pierced through Xue Ming's body, and with a bend, it went straight for Zhang Ruichu.
Zhang Ruichu immediately felt his scalp tingle. With a wave of his hand, countless puppets flew forward to block the flying sword's attack.
His body retreated rapidly. A teleportation talisman appeared in his hand and he crushed it suddenly. With a bang, he disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, he appeared ten miles away. He took out the teleportation talisman again and appeared twenty miles away. At this speed, the Fire Leaving Sword could no longer catch up with him.
However, Zhang Xingzhu did not give up. With a turn, the flying sword went straight for Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan was very clever. Although she was not fast, she dodged behind Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet with a whoosh and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, what should we do? Let's get out of here quickly."
Li Chengfeng looked at her with a smile that was not a smile and said, "What's the point of escaping? We should fight if we want to fight. Are you just going to admit defeat so easily?"
He sneered and continued, "Just a mere early stage of Foundation Establishment."
As soon as these words came out, it was shocking.
Everyone present found it hard to believe, including Zhang Ruichu, who had already fled halfway. She looked back at Li Chengfeng, wondering in her heart: Is this Li Chengfeng crazy? I'll run first!
Zhang Xingzhu, with eyebrows like ink paintings and a blooming smile, looked at Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet and sarcastically said, "These puppets are really foolish.
People from the Demonic Sect actually妄想to block me with such clumsy things? The difference in realm between you and me is too great.
Although I have not used the power of the Nine Nether Earth Fiend, the Gang Fiend power condensed by sword energy alone is enough to destroy this pile of scrap metal."
He waved his sleeve lightly, and the Fire Leaving Sword returned to his palm like a shooting star.
Xu Huixin stood beside him, her eyes full of admiration for Zhang Xingzhu.
She clenched her fists, her voice trembling slightly: "Senior brother, I...I have let you down. You have given so much for me, but I have failed to..."
Zhang Xingzhu smiled slightly, with a refined demeanor, and interrupted her: "Junior sister, why do you need to say such things between you and me? It is a matter of course for senior brother to protect junior sister."
Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet sneered repeatedly, mocking: "What a deep love between senior brother and junior sister!"
After saying that, he manipulated the puppets to surge towards Zhang Xingzhu and Xu Huixin like a tide.
Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth in the space, thinking: "This Nine Desires Celestial Bloom is indeed full of twists and turns. For it, I will spare no effort to take it into my possession!"
Liu Ruyan witnessed all this, her heart filled with unease.
She looked at Li Chengfeng and said in a firm tone: "Li Chengfeng, you are indeed extraordinary.
I was originally worried that there was no escape, but now it seems that we can only have a chance of survival if we cooperate."
Li Chengfeng nodded and said in a deep voice: "That's right, we must join forces to deal with this crisis. You help me take them down, and I will guarantee your safety."
When Liu Ruyan heard this, a trace of determination flowed between her eyebrows, and a charming smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, like a blooming flower.
Her vermilion lips trembled slightly, and she said softly: "Okay, since that's the case, my good sir, I will accompany you to the end."
She took out a delicate jade flute and began to play it gently. The illusionary sound was as turbulent as a wave, interweaving offense and defense.
At this moment, only six elite disciples of the Joyous Union Sect remained. The rest of the disciples had turned into cannon fodder in the previous battle.
Liu Ruyan knew that she could only have a chance of survival by cooperating with Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng had many puppets in his hands, and these puppets were nothing more than cannon fodder to him. He didn't feel bad even if he lost them.
