Chapter 307: Chapter 36: The Plan Begins, Battle Against the Nascent Soul! (Part 2)

"Pfft!"

At this moment, a long blade pierced through the heart of Patriarch Cai.

"Why, why..."

Patriarch Cai turned around, looking incredulously at Array Peak Master.

The Array Peak Master smirked coldly upon seeing this.

"Don’t act as if I’m the one who betrayed. You’re the one who turned traitor, secretly colluding with the Demon Sect... That battle three years ago, it was you who leaked the secret!"

"Did you think I wouldn’t know?"

"Heh... at this moment in Yanlai City, your entire Cai Family should have been eliminated..."

"From now on, there will be no more Four Great Clans in Yanlai Realm!"

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Cai’s face changed, and he wanted to resist.

But behind him, Chen Danxin waved a hand, and True Essence bombarded Patriarch Cai.

Instantly, Patriarch Cai’s entire body exploded into pieces of flesh.

Upon witnessing this scene, Wu Xingkui’s face changed slightly.

He hadn’t expected that his dispatched spy had been discovered long ago.

But why, after being discovered, did the Righteous Alliance still come to this stronghold...

With just these about twenty Golden Core Cultivators? Oh no, now it’s nineteen.

Wu Xingkui quickly regained his composure and sneered: 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Heh, so what if you’ve discovered it... In terms of Golden Core Cultivators, we have more!"

"Besides, you, Chen Danxin, are you really my opponent?"

A trace of confidence flashed in Wu Xingkui’s eyes, in terms of one-on-one combat, he might not be a match for Chen Danxin.

But don’t forget, he is a Puppet Cultivator!

Capable of crafting puppets!

Thinking of this, Wu Xingkui waved his hand and summoned seven or eight puppets.

Each puppet had the strength comparable to the early stage of Golden Core...

Chen Danxin’s face changed slightly upon seeing this and quickly signaled to the Array Peak Master.

The Array Peak Master understood and quickly said:

"Taoist Friend... it’s time to act!"

After saying this, the Array Peak Master was a bit nervous.

He wasn’t sure if Lin Chen was nearby.

"Is there more backup?"

Upon hearing the Array Peak Master’s shout, Wu Xingkui’s face changed slightly.

He scanned the surroundings but didn’t sense any other Golden Core Cultivators.

He sneered instantly:

"Hmph, bluffing..."

After saying this, he prepared to activate the puppet horde.

However, at this moment, dozens of stone-sized nanomissiles swiftly flew from the distance.

They hit the Core Formation Cultivators behind Wu Xingkui directly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The air echoed with violent explosions, and dust and smoke filled the space.

After the smoke cleared, seven or eight early-stage demon cultivators of Core Formation had fallen to the ground, severely injured and unable to rise.

The remaining mid-stage or higher demon cultivators relied on their protective True Essence to withstand the nanomissiles, but they were still shaken.

Upon seeing this hallmark tactic, Wu Xingkui’s face immediately changed dramatically.

"Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect!"

...

In the distance, Lin Chen issued a command to the Martial Arts Puppet.

"Feng Jiu, you’re in charge of long-range fire suppression..."

"Long Ba, come with me!"

Having said this, Lin Chen moved in a flash, appearing on the battlefield.

With a firm grip on the Black Blade, Lin Chen silently recited:

"Vibrating Blade, sixfold!"

With that, Lin Chen took a breath and swung the blade three times, beheading three mid-stage Core Formation cultivators...

After instantly slaying three Core Formation cultivators, Lin Chen lightly leaped to Array Peak Master’s side.

After a quick scan of the fallen demon cultivators, Lin Chen slowly spoke:

"One million four hundred thousand Spirit Stones..."

The Array Peak Master widened his mouth in response.

An early-stage Core Formation, ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Mid-stage Core Formation, twenty thousand Spirit Stones.

This was the price agreed upon in advance.

But the Array Peak Master didn’t expect it to be so easy!

From the time Lin Chen made his move to showing up, it was only a matter of a few breaths.

He had eliminated eight early-stage Core Formations, three mid-stage Core Formations...

Is earning Spirit Stones really this easy?

The Array Peak Master swallowed and coughed:

"Cough cough, rest assured, Taoist Friend Xu!"

"We will pay the Spirit Stones!"

Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

Without any further words, he directly summoned twenty-one flying knives.

Spiritual Control Technique!

Compared to three years ago, Lin Chen is now wielding fewer flying knives, but their power has increased several times.

On one hand, Lin Chen’s Qi Gathering skill is more proficient, and his True Essence is more robust.

On the other hand, the flying knife magical treasures have undergone a major upgrade!

That’s right, these twenty-one flying knives are all produced by the Artifact Refining Department of Great Xia Country.

Each one has reached the lower grade Treasure Artifact level!

Moreover, the power of the twenty-one flying knives multiplies when they appear as a set!

Just this set of Treasure Artifact flying knives alone would be worth no less than a million Spirit Stones in the Cultivation Realm...

Lin Chen’s heart stirred, and the twenty-one flying knives flew towards the demon cultivators.

Each flying knife could cause a Core Formation Cultivator to be at their wits’ end.

"Damn it! Carrying a bounty of several million Spirit Stones, yet you still dare to show up..."

"Today, I’ll put an end to you!"

Wu Xingkui coldly snorted in his heart, then took out an unusual puppet.

This puppet is nearly two meters tall, clad in heavy armor, with an inscription of the character "Luo" on its chestplate.

Holding two red spears, it looked at everyone expressionlessly.

"Rolu! Kill them!" Wu Xingkui commanded.

The moment Lin Chen saw this puppet, he immediately recognized its identity.

"Senior Luo Ming..." Lin Chen’s eyes carried a hint of killing intent.

A Nascent Soul True Man, who had slain demons and devils countless times during his life...

Yet after his death, his Divine Soul was enslaved by demon cultivators.

Even his flesh body became a human puppet in the hands of demon cultivators!

"Hah, Puppet Hall! Damn it!"

Lin Chen gritted his teeth, then transmitted to Chen Danxin:

"Taoist Friend Chen, I’ll take care of this puppet... As for Wu Xingkui, teach him a good lesson!"

"Okay!" Chen Danxin replied succinctly.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Chen recalled the twenty-one flying knives.

With a solemn expression, he looked at the puppet Luo Ming before him.

"A puppet comparable to Nascent Soul Stage... Let’s give it a try first!"

Lin Chen’s heart stirred slightly, as the twenty-one flying knives traced perfect arcs in the air, then slashed straight at the puppet Luo Ming.

Dong dong!

As the flying knives cut into the puppet’s body, they emitted a sound of metal clashing.

Most of the twenty-one flying knives were repelled, and those that managed to cut into the puppet only left shallow white marks.

"Cast in gold and iron..."

Lin Chen slightly frowned, looking at the faint golden glow surrounding the puppet Luo Ming, and suddenly understood.

Luo Ming’s flesh body had been refined into a puppet, enhanced with precious Treasures of Heaven and Earth...

Its defense is terrifying!

"It seems relying on flying knives alone... won’t work."

Lin Chen frowned slightly, waved his hand and the twenty-one flying knives were returned to the Storage Bag.

Then, the Demon-slaying Blade appeared in Lin Chen’s hand.

"Since flying knives won’t do, let’s face it head-on!"

Lin Chen’s heart stirred, holding the Black Blade, he charged directly at Luo Ming.

"Sixfold Vibrating Blade!"

A blade light flashed, as Lin Chen wielded the Black Blade straight towards the puppet Luo Ming’s neck.

However, the puppet held two red spears, directly blocking Lin Chen’s attack route.

With a flick of the spear tip, a terrifying force surged forth.

Lin Chen’s figure was instantly sent flying back dozens of yards.

Dong!

Lin Chen flipped mid-air, and after flying hundreds of yards, he landed steadily.

Looking at the distant puppet Luo Ming, Lin Chen frowned slightly.

"This puppet has such great power..."

Lin Chen’s Martial Arts Realm is now at the Martial Venerable Peak.

The basic strength of his flesh body is 2000 tons, which equals 4 million jin!

With a sixfold Vibrating Blade, Lin Chen’s attack power exceeded 24 million jin.

But a pure contest of strength is far from matching this puppet...

"Senior Luo Ming, the Peak Nascent Soul Body Refining Cultivator..."

Lin Chen took a deep breath.

It’s not the Puppet Hall that is strong, but Luo Ming’s flesh body!

Luo Ming, during his lifetime, was a Peak Nascent Soul, suppressing the Demon Sect for thousands of years!

How strong was he?

After returning, Lin Chen had consulted ancient texts, discovering that Luo Ming had reached the Nascent Soul Peak in both body refinement and cultivation techniques.

In those times, virtually unrivaled below Divinity Transformation...

While this puppet no longer possesses Luo Ming’s martial arts and Will of Heaven and Earth.

Yet, its flesh body strength retains seventy to eighty percent.

The Peak of Body Refining Nascent Soul is equivalent to Martial King Peak on Blue Star...

Even after being refined into a puppet, its strength remains formidable.

"It seems it’s time to get serious!"

Lin Chen wielded the Demon-slaying Blade, his gaze gradually grew resolute, charging forward.

"Tenfold, Vibrating Blade!"
