Chapter 173: Chapter 131: Great Battle (Part 3)

“Boom!” A loud explosion erupted as the Five Elements Giant Sword slashed down sharply, shattering the Evil Buddha’s Dharma Body and Xie Tong Demon Monarch into pieces.

A generation of Demon Monarchs vanished into smoke, unable even to escape with their Nascent Soul.

Another loud explosion followed immediately.

The Golden Great Rod smashed down mercilessly, killing Blood Shadow Demon Monarch on the spot, as his bloody Nascent Soul fled for its life.

At this moment, Li Mu swooped in, with the Five Elements Spirit Fire in hand, grabbing the bloody Nascent Soul and stuffing it into a Soul Absorption Bottle.

“Chirp! Chirp!” Xiaobai, attached to Xiaojin, anxiously chirped.

“I know! I’ll feed you later, let’s focus on the battle first!” Li Mu chuckled, replied, and stored the Soul Absorption Bottle into the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, then looked towards Bai Yu Demon Monarch who was fleeing for life.

Li Mu waved his hand, and the Five Elements Giant Sword disassembled into five Flying Swords of different colors, attacking Bai Yu Demon Monarch with lightning speed.

“Xueming, White Bone, Tian Si,… save me quickly!” Feeling the fierce pursuit of the five Flying Swords behind him, Bai Yu Demon Monarch desperately called out for help from the demon monarchs.

The demon monarchs’ faces changed dramatically, and they all took action. They never imagined that the three demon monarchs raiding together against a Golden Core Cultivator would result in two deaths and one injury so quickly.

Could the opponent be a Divinity Transformation Ancestor?

No, it can’t be!

Judging from the opponent’s True Essence Spiritual Pressure and cultivation aura, they are clearly just a Golden Core, not even a Nascent Soul True Monarch!

The five Tier Four Spirit Swords, merged into one again during the chase, their sword momentum grand and rising rapidly, like a five-colored rainbow. In a blink, it caught up to Bai Yu Demon Monarch, piercing through his body.

The sharp Sword Qi tore Bai Yu Demon Monarch into countless fragments, dissipating in the wind.

The other demon monarchs were shocked and furious, unable to believe they couldn’t save him even though they attacked together.

“Boom!” with a loud explosion, the Five Elements Giant Sword clashed with the ’Bronze Coffin’, ’Blood Lotus Throne’, and ’Skull’ treasures released by the three demon monarchs, and was immediately suppressed.

The Five Elements Giant Sword swiftly disassembled into five Flying Swords, engaging in a skirmish with the Tier Three Demon Treasures in mid-air, holding its ground for a while.

Seeing this, the three demon monarchs panicked, realizing why Xie Tong, Bai Yu, and Blood Shadow couldn’t defeat the opponent.

The five Tier Four Top-Grade Spirit Swords were Low-Tier Spiritual Treasures of Spirit Transformation, their spirituality not weak, and the Sword Master only needed to enhance them with some True Essence Magical Power to multiply their power.

Who is this person!

The three demon monarchs were orchestrating the grand array; only the three demon monarchs and a group of Golden Core and Foundation Establishment subordinates were left. If they didn’t eliminate him quickly and he affected the grand array, releasing the people of Qing Xuan Sect, the situation would be dire.

The three demon monarchs exchanged glances, immediately realizing the situation.

Xie Tong, Bai Yu, Blood Shadow had joined forces and were killed, so the three demon monarchs didn’t dare to go up recklessly.

“He’s just one person, all of you go up together and kill him,” White Bone Demon Monarch ordered the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment subordinates.

“Charge!” Tian Si Demon Monarch gestured with a large wave, opening a Corpse Bag and releasing twelve Flying Golden Armored Corpses, each radiating the momentum of the Peak of Golden Core Stage.

Seeing this, the crowd of Demon Cultivators perked up, hesitating no longer, soaring out, sending forth their refined corpses, Yin Ghosts, and Xue Sha, led by the twelve Flying Golden Corpses, a colossal force, charged towards Li Mu with overwhelming Fiery Demon Flame.

The three Nascent Soul True Monarchs didn’t besiege directly; instead, they sent a pile of inferior fighters first. Li Mu was not alarmed but delighted, explored the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl with his Divine Sense.

The next moment, “Crackle…” countless Spider Puppets and Combat Puppets, several hundred, materialized out of thin air. As they landed, they swiftly began sprinting, forming a puppet army in a blink, engulfing the approaching Golden Core Demon Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators.

For a decade, Li Mu had been staying at Moon Pearl Peak, tending Spirit Plants, refining Spiritual Artifacts in his spare time, crafting Spirit Talismans, and carving puppets. Over time, the number of Spiritual Artifacts, puppets, and Spirit Talismans he refined became significant.

The agile, fast-acting Jumping Spider Puppets were one of Li Mu’s successful puppet masterpieces. They were about the size of medium-sized dogs, with extremely agile eight limbs and extremely fast jumping speed, traveling several meters per second. Under Divine Sense’s coverage, they could automatically lock onto enemies, leap up, and cling tightly to the enemy’s body.

Once a Jumping Spider Puppet clung onto an enemy, whether to their face or body, the self-destruct Array Pattern within would activate, detonating the Tier Two Thunder Burst Talisman and Tier Three Fire Thunder Talisman within their abdomen.

A swarm of nimble Spider Puppets surged forth, instantly throwing the charging formation of Demon Cultivators into chaos.

What is this puppet?

The Demon Cultivators were alarmed, dodging left and right, unable to evade the leaps and embraces of the many Spider Puppets. The sheer number of Spider Puppets was overwhelming, coupled with the attacks from Combat Puppets, …

The next moment, “Boom, boom…” the sounds of Thunder Burst echoed incessantly.

“Ah! My leg!”

“Help me, help me….”

“No, no, no, stay away!”

“No!”

“Quickly, retreat, there are Thunder Burst Talismans in the puppets!”

…

The explosions of thunder, the wails of Demon Cultivators, screams of despair merged into one, their assault formation instantly descended into a blood-soaked hell.

The twelve Flying Golden Armored Corpses couldn’t bypass the encirclement of the puppet army; in the incessant thunderous explosions, the twelve Golden Armored Corpses became broken and charred, limbs severed, struggling tenaciously on the ground.

Soon, another wave of Spider Puppets arrived, initiating a new round of thunderous bursts.

In a matter of seconds, except for seven or eight clever Golden Core Demon Cultivators who escaped the battlefield, the remaining Demon Cultivators and refined corpses were all dead, not a single one could stand; Yin Ghosts and Blood Clouds were completely obliterated by the Thunder Talismans, evaporating entirely.

…

The three demon monarchs exchanged glances, witnessing the shock in each other’s eyes, and all harbored intentions to retreat.

High-tier Puppets, Tier Three Thunder Talismans, Tier Four Spirit Transformation Flying Sword, Array, Beast Taming, … this person’s techniques were endless, each extremely sharp. Coupled with his formidable Sword Array, rivaling the cultivation of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, … this Golden Core Cultivator was simply a monster!

“What to do, should we retreat?” Tian Si Demon Monarch felt the heaviest at heart, his twelve Golden Armored Corpses were destroyed, which were his most crucial trump card, without them his strength dropped by thirty percent.

White Bone Demon Monarch and Xueming Demon Monarch exchanged a look, filled with extreme hesitation.

If they could just hold on for another half an hour, the people of Qing Xuan Sect inside the Nine Yin Array could be completely annihilated. This plan was crucial for the Nine Demons Sect’s grand scheme to obliterate Qing Xuan Sect. Should they abandon such an opportunity for a mere Golden Core Cultivator?

However, with Xie Tong Demon Monarch, Bai Yu Demon Monarch, and Blood Shadow Demon Monarch killed in the earlier battle, along with their disciples decimated…

Could the three of them combined manage to annihilate this person with his extraordinary methods?

“How do we retreat? How do we explain to the Demon Ancestor if we leave?” White Bone Demon Monarch queried Tian Si Demon Monarch with a look.

Upon hearing this, Xueming Demon Monarch and Tian Si Demon Monarch fell into collective silence.
