Chapter 55: Killing the Puppet, Demonic Thoughts
Above the sea of sand.
Three streaks of light swept across a stretch of Gobi Desert, two chasing and one fleeing.
At the forefront was a pale red beam of light. Inside the beam, Gu Jinghe frowned, occasionally unleashing a spell attack behind him while throwing out numerous first-tier high-grade spirit talismans to prevent the two second-tier demon puppets behind him from closing the distance between them.
The two second-tier demon puppets that appeared this time are quite extraordinary.
Even with the combined attack of the two demonic puppets, he was struggling to cope.
Having finally escaped, he planned to use his escape technique as usual, employing the same kite-flying tactic to deplete the demon puppet's spiritual power. Once the demon puppet's spiritual power was exhausted, it would be time for him to counterattack.
Unexpectedly, these two dark green half-wolf demon puppets were ridiculously full of spiritual energy. Even after flying kites for half a day, they still looked fierce, and there was no sign of the bottom line of spiritual energy within the demon puppets.
Therefore, Gu Jinghe sent a request for help to Lin Li, who was in seclusion on Baisong Mountain.
Something's strange.
'The restrictions within this second-tier demonic puppet are definitely different from those of other second-tier demonic puppets.'
Gu Jinghe, inside the escape light, pondered in his heart.
At the same time, Gu Jinghe also knew that this was also an opportunity. If the demon puppet had a restriction that had never been seen before, such a restriction would be very popular in the outside world and would definitely fetch a good price at next year's market auction.
The only regret is that he can't eat those two second-tier demon puppets by himself.
Only by having two Foundation Establishment cultivators separate the two demonic puppets can they be attacked separately.
"However, if a few more second-tier demonic puppets like these emerge from the Penglai Mountain ruins next time, things could get very bad."
The ancient scenery and my heart sank.
Having personally fought against these two second-tier demon puppets, Gu Jinghe finally understood how difficult it was to defeat them when they worked together.
Unless one carries a second-tier formation with them, it is impossible to fight against multiple opponents.
Otherwise, the only option is to send a talisman to request help.
"They've arrived."
"Such incredible speed."
At this moment, Gu Jinghe's eyes lit up and he looked up to the northeast. At the edge of his divine sense, he immediately sensed Lin Li's aura approaching him at an astonishing speed.
The chilling sword aura emanating from the wind-elemental spirit sword made him feel a sense of oppression.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, this second-tier demonic puppet is extremely troublesome, unlike any other second-tier demonic puppet we've encountered before. We must not underestimate it!"
"Let's each target one of them and suppress each other!"
"The suppressed demon puppets will be collected by each party."
Gu Jinghe saw Lin Li arrive in an instant and immediately transmitted his voice.
"good!"
Lin Li responded decisively.
The next moment, Gu Jinghe immediately stopped his escape light and turned around. Two black lights flew out of his mouth and quickly expanded into two short swords, each half a foot long and radiating black demonic energy.
Bang bang!
Two second-tier flying knives knocked one of the puppets back more than ten feet. At the same time, the Foundation Establishment seed in Gu Jinghe's body began to flicker, and an astonishing aura of Foundation Establishment power surged out from his body.
Its two arms transformed into two ferocious wooden dragons, which pounced towards the dark green demon puppet with a wolf's head and a human body, with astonishing momentum.
The wolf-headed demon puppet, entangled by the wooden dragon, severed the vines one by one with its sharp claws.
After quickly creating an opening, they fled into the distance.
A murderous glint flashed in Gu Jinghe's eyes as he transformed into a streak of azure light and gave chase.
"cut!"
Meanwhile, Lin Li's Foundation Establishment divine sense locked onto another dark green demon puppet with a wolf's head and a human body. Its hands formed a hand seal, and a flying sword suddenly flew out from under its feet. As it flew away, it absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and its sword body began to grow rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, it grew to its maximum size of nearly two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters).
A cyan flying sword slammed heavily onto the head of the wolf-headed demon puppet in front of him.
Bang! !
A muffled thud was heard.
The wolf-headed demon puppet's figure was slammed into the Gobi Desert below, like a giant rock falling and stirring up a cloud of dust.
The wolf-headed demon puppet, trapped in a crater several meters deep, struggled to get up.
Lin Li, standing above, could clearly see, through his divine sense, that a deep cut, half an inch deep, had been made on the demon puppet's head.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, the weakness of this demonic puppet should be its head."
At this moment, Gu Jinghe's voice transmission echoed in Lin Li's mind from afar.
"it is good."
"If one sword strike isn't enough, then ten, a hundred!"
Lin Liti's foundation-building spiritual power burst forth like a dam breaking, pouring entirely into the Wind Spirit Flying Sword.
The Wind Spirit Flying Sword suddenly shone with a bright blue light, and its sword energy poured down on the demon puppet in the deep pit below like a storm.
The enlarged flying swords, each two zhang long, struck the demonic puppet's head like lightning.
The clanging of metal against metal echoed repeatedly across the Gobi Desert.
One!
two!
...
Forty-nine!
Fifty!
After striking fifty times, Lin Licai, who had already created a crater dozens of feet deep, finally stopped, having consumed more than 60% of his spiritual energy.
This kind of fighting technique is only suitable for dealing with a single demon puppet.
Immediately, Lin Li waved his hand, and a whirlwind swept away the sand and dust.
The wolf-headed demon puppet, scarred and split in two at the bottom of the pit, was revealed. The aura and pressure that had once been comparable to the early stage of Foundation Establishment had completely disappeared.
Lin Li raised his hand and swallowed several first-grade high-level Spirit Gathering Pills. This kind of brute force method still consumes a lot of spiritual power. If a mountain-like magic weapon were to smash down, it would definitely be able to crush it in one blow.
"It's a pity that such magical artifacts require an enormous amount of materials."
"This is something no ordinary person could possess."
Lin Li didn't dwell on it any longer. Instead, he released several spirit-detecting spells onto the demon puppet to confirm that the restrictions within its body had been broken before putting it into his storage bag.
"Um? 』
But at that very moment, a streak of gray light, almost imperceptible, detached from the demon puppet and burrowed toward Lin Li's brow.
"court death!"
A fierce glint flashed in Lin Li's fox-like eyes.
"Frost Tail Fire!" 』
In an instant, Lin Li's entire body was enveloped in a layer of white frost, as if he were wearing a layer of white armor, which firmly protected his body.
When that streak of gray light touched the Frosttail Ghostfire, a scream rang out from within.
"ah!!"
"Spare me!!"
The gray light immediately tried to escape.
But Lin Li immediately unleashed a stream of ghostly fire, which transformed into a snake that instantly caught up with the gray streak of light and coiled around it, eventually forming a fire cage that trapped it inside.
He took out a dark, sealed stone box from his storage bag, sealed it inside, and then put the stone box into his soul-nourishing bag.
A mere wisp of Foundation Establishment demonic thought trying to launch a sneak attack—how utterly presumptuous!
A few breaths later.
Gu Jinghe flew over from afar, and when he saw the huge crater on the ground, surrounded by flying rocks, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
A single glance was enough to tell just how astonishing the battle had been.
However, the fighting techniques appear to be close-combat methods.
"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Liu."
"If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Liu's help, I would have really had to go through a lot of trouble."
Gu Jinghe clasped his hands in thanks.
"Don't mention it, it's my duty."
"I've certainly seen what a second-tier demonic puppet is like; it's not easy to deal with."
Lin Li shook his head and said.
"The demon puppets here are different from the ones before. These demon puppets are quite valuable. The materials used to make them are all of the second-tier lower grade. Even if they are not assembled into a puppet, they can be used to forge a set of second-tier light armor."
Gu Jinghe explained, feeling quite satisfied with the second-tier demon puppet he had acquired this time.
"Let's go, this is not a place to stay."
In the blink of an eye, the demon and the human transformed into two streaks of azure light, heading towards the Hundred Springs Lake Market.
