Chapter 1616

Life and death were at stake, he couldn't care about anything else, blocking with the pestle for subduing demons, otherwise, what the other party would bite off would be his head.

This thing did bite the pestle for subduing demons, but its left sharp claw brushed his shoulder, still scraping off a large piece of flesh! Cao Wendao was also pushed down.

At the critical moment, Ashmona arrived.

He grabbed a vine on the way, shook it lightly, and the vine turned into a sharp spear, the tip still spiral-shaped.

He grabbed the spear and stabbed it hard into the back of the uninvited guest.

The annoyance of breaking out of the belly made him not hold back at all.

But the spear tip rubbed a trail of sparks on the opponent's thick and shiny scales, and then very cleanly "clack" broke.

Fortunately, Ashmona's strength was great. Although it didn't pierce the opponent through, it pushed it away a yard, pushing it away from Cao Wendao.

Everyone finally saw what the uninvited guest looked like.

A circle larger than a leopard, the appearance was like a lion or tiger, but with dark red double horns on its head, very sharp, folded backward, extending to behind the ears; the brow bone protruded forward, connecting with the double horns.

The bone plate of the forehead was exposed, wide and flat, with a vague pattern on it.

Its body was round and sturdy, muscles knotted, and its body was covered with a layer of crimson scales, with thorns. If He Lingchuan were here, he would likely think its scales were very much like the shell of a durian.

But it had a fluffy big tail, also red; there were short whiskers under its jaw, and a row of crests standing on its forehead, black and red, like a chicken crest, full of rebellion.

Its facial features were more ferocious than a fierce tiger, and its snout was slightly longer, the nose round and protruding, a bit like a dragon nose.

In general, it looked very much like a creature rushing out of purgatory.

"Whoo!" Dong Rui breathed a sigh of relief, nodding repeatedly, "Finally out, okay, okay!"

This monster that drilled out of Ashmona's belly was naturally the No. 66 demon puppet that refused to show up for a long time. Although it still looked a bit strange, he thought it was strange and coordinated. Whether it was facial features, body shape, or proportions, it followed Dong Rui's consistent aesthetics.

Cao Wendao jumped up quickly, holding his shoulder and whispering. Just that move by No. 66 earlier, his shoulder was almost shattered, and now blood was flowing like a fountain, so painful that it felt like someone was lighting a fire in the wound. He looked down and saw that there was indeed a faint red light in the wound, and dark smoke ignited from time to time.

Not showing mountains or water, but such insidious fire poison. If he ignored it, the fire would burn more and more vigorously, burning the meridians if it entered the meridians, and burning the lungs if it entered the lungs. It wouldn't take long for him to burn up.

Just then, Dong Rui suddenly snapped his fingers: "I understand!"

His face was full of joy of sudden enlightenment, and he pointed at Cao Wendao again: "I figured it out! You said 'living thing' just to mislead me! That thing is hidden in your pestle for subduing demons!"

No wonder, no wonder Ashmona could be shattered repeatedly and reorganized repeatedly, because its vital point wasn't in this body at all.

Cao Wendao looked at him coldly, his voice astringent: "Stop them!"

He had medicine in his mouth, and he didn't know where he got a piece of blue ice crystal, crushed it, gritted his teeth, and slammed it into the wound! With a "hiss" light sound, it was like a soldering iron reaching into cold water, and the ice crystal turned into a gel, greatly reducing Cao Wendao's pain.

But his expression was still tense and he couldn't relax.

Still known by Wei Yishan.

Ashmona looked at him and then at the pestle for subduing demons in his hand, its figure flickering, turning from one into three.

It actually turned into three more "Ashmonas," plus the original one, totaling four, attacking the bat demon puppet, the Ghost Ape, and the newly appeared No. 66, and the last one helped Cao Wendao and ran away.

This move was without warning.

Dong Rui was stunned for a moment, patting his mouth lightly: "Why talk so much! Chase!"

He was too proud, and blurted out as soon as he figured it out, but he scared the other party away!

The bat demon puppet immediately climbed high, no longer entangled with the earth puppets, and went straight to chase Cao Wendao.

Although he said so, Dong Rui wasn't annoyed, because—

Ah ha ha ha, he had beaten the Master of Red Hut away! He was also carried away by the fight, almost forgetting the first rule of survival for Demon Puppeteers:

If the situation is bad, turn around and run.

Cao Wendao's disciples were all lying on the ground, and the summoned demon puppets were all cleaned up by Wei Yishan's, only the main demon puppet Ashmona didn't show signs of defeat. But now the situation was Wei Yishan bullying the few with the many, and even summoning a brand new demon puppet.

Cao Wendao basically figured out the moves of the Ghost Ape and the bat demon puppet, feeling there was still a chance of winning; but No. 66 appeared brand new, its characteristics were unknown, and it didn't look like a good thing. Cao Wendao didn't have enough time to ponder it.

The worst thing was that Dong Rui suddenly broke the secret of Ashmona, and the next step was to prescribe the right medicine and strike at the vital point! Then Cao Wendao had no thoughts at all, why stay here? Retreat quickly.

He didn't forget that He Xiao was nearby, and the later he dragged, the harder it would be to leave.

Ashmona only ran three or four yards with him when it suddenly stopped.

Cao Wendao said weakly: "Run, why don't you, don't...?"

Why didn't it run? He was dizzy, his eyelids swollen to congestion, almost unable to open his eyes, and didn't know the pestle for subduing demons had broken.

Ashmona didn't rush to run, nor did it listen as usual, but instead held him in front of its eyes and looked at him sideways.

He wore a mask, others couldn't see his expression—no, he had no facial features, naturally no expression.

The Ghost Ape and No. 66 wanted to rush up, but Dong Rui raised his hand to stop them: looking at Ashmona's behavior of examining its master, it seemed very unkind.

Cao Wendao barely opened his eyes a slit and saw Ashmona's posture, and the pestle for subduing demons in his hand—

The pestle for subduing demons that had broken off the front half.

It's over, how could this be? His heart went cold.

"No, I'm not..."

Dong Rui didn't know what his last sentence wanted to say, and would never know, because Ashmona suddenly opened its big mouth and stuffed Cao Wendao's head into it.

Crunch.

Like chewing a rotten, juicy tomato, and it even exploded.

From Dong Rui's angle, he could clearly see Cao Wendao's body twitching twice, and then it didn't move.

He gasped.

Backlash, the nightmare of all Demon Puppeteers.

This great Demon Puppeteer from the Tiangong actually died in the mouth of his own demon puppet in the end.

Ashmona grabbed the half-pestle for subduing demons from its former master, swallowed it in one gulp, and turned to leave, not looking at Dong Rui again.

The enemy who was fighting to the death just a moment ago, it seemed not to recognize him.

No. 66 saw it turn around and subconsciously took a step forward wanting to pursue, but was stopped by Dong Rui.

It was too late, they didn't have time to pursue.

Two breaths later, Ashmona disappeared into the dark jungle.

Dong Rui immediately ordered his demon puppets: "Take Cao Wendao and that green python, let's go!"

Demon Puppeteer battles are about the survivor being king! He had just finished a life-and-death battle, and the winner should naturally get generous rewards.

The Snail Toad surfaced, flicked its tongue, and rolled away Cao Wendao's headless remains; the Ghost Ape rushed into the woods and carried the green python's corpse over.

Just as Dong Rui was about to order the demon puppets to jump into the mud palace, a black shadow popped out of the jungle again.

It came silently, No. 66 felt it immediately, turned around and bared its teeth at it, the hair on its back standing up.

Another strong enemy arrived!

Dong Rui waved his hand to let it retreat and said to the black shadow: "Why did you come only now?"

The other party walked out of the forest, revealing eight long legs.

Mother Zhu.

"You didn't let me come, you had to do this battle yourself?" It said bluntly, "I only came to see because I heard you howling too miserably."

Chasing Cao Wendao tonight, it received the message and came to help, but Dong Rui suddenly got stubborn, saying that this battle was his own battle for justice.

Now it seemed that what he needed most was bone setting.

Dong Rui was embarrassed. That moment when his shoulder bone was crushed by Ashmona was really painful, and he wasn't allowed to howl?

Mother Zhu also had three white cocoons wrapped under its belly. It threw these three cocoons in front of Dong Rui: "Three of Qingyang's subordinates came here, were intercepted by me halfway, and by the way, I bought some time for He Lingchuan."

Qingyang blocked He Lingchuan in front, and three subordinates sneaked to the creek to see if Cao Wendao had retreated.

Then they turned into cocoons. ===== CHAPTER 1618 =====

What on earth was this person doing, what on earth did this person want to do! No, no, he should be asking what connection the Great Emperor of Nine Serenities had with the Tiangong in secret, and what the Great Emperor of Nine Serenities actually wanted to do! In an instant, Cao Wendao had countless associations, each one seemingly layering infinite possibilities.

Wei Yishan and these few puppets were a major discovery no less significant than Xiao An! As long as he reported this in detail after returning, his return to the Tiangong would be just around the corner! Moreover, he had gained many insights and much inspiration from today's battle; if he pondered them well afterward, perhaps his research could reach a higher level!

Cao Wendao pressed his injured shoulder and secretly gritted his teeth.

Just wait for him, the one surnamed Wei; he would soon make a comeback!

……

Twenty zhang away.

Dong Rui did not summon the Snail Toad to pursue immediately, but instead fished a dry tobacco pouch from his bosom and rubbed it vigorously twice: "Right now, blow up for me!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Every time he said the word "boom," a loud, thunderous sound came from underground.

Six times in a row, the ground was blasted through, and smoke and dust rose half as high as the sky.

Such a violent noise could be heard even by the guards at the East Gate of Tianshui City, showing just how great the power was.

If the Ghost Ape's stance hadn't been stable enough, it might not have been able to stand from the shaking now. Number Sixty-Six watched the billowing smoke column and blinked blankly.

This smoke was even bigger than what it had created.

Dong Rui laughed from ear to ear: "It really came in handy; my divine strategy is brilliant!"

Won, won, Cao Wendao is done for.
