Chapter 3624: Battle with Puppets

Curses work best on this filthy yin‑ghost thing. Ye Liuyun also wanted to take the Kuailei, but survival comes first, so he can only knock the Kuailei out for now.

The Kuailei immediately let out a painful howl.

"Quickly finish him off!"

Sun Que also sensed something odd inside the Kuailei and immediately urged the Kuailei to press its attack.

The Kuailei, bearing the Buddha Light within, surged toward Ye Liuyun again.

"Alas, a powerful combat force wasted!" Ye Liuyun sighed, the ten‑thousand‑character core in his body burst into Golden Light, and he charged at the Kuailei.

He had no choice; a Dòngtiān Jìngjiè Kuailei was certainly beyond his ability to block with a single strike, so better to eliminate it early. Moreover, Bai Hu and Shi Yuan were also in danger, and he needed to rescue them, leaving no time to continue sparring with this Kuailei.

The Kuailei wailed as it gradually dissolved in Golden Light, its roar shaking the entire Mi Lin.

After killing that Kuailei, Ye Liuyun instantly turned, slashed a Metal Puppet that was besieging Bai Hu and Shi Yuan, and pulled several Monster Beasts into the Space World.

"Damn it, how dare you destroy my Kuailei! Bà Tiān, wipe him out!" Sun Que, feeling sorry for his Metal Puppet, let out an angry shout and deployed another Metal Puppet.

The moment the Metal Puppet appeared, the Dòngtiān Jìngjiè aura instantly spread across the battlefield, compressing the nearby Mercenaries into twisted stances, and they were immediately slain by the opposing Metal Puppet.

"I go again, another Dòngtiān Jìngjiè Puppet!"

Ye Liuyun inwardly groaned; this time it wasn't a yin‑ghost thing, the ten‑thousand‑character core was useless, so reluctantly he could only launch a Technique with his Golden Pupil.

The Metal Puppet rushed at Ye Liuyun, wielding an additional ninth‑grade silver spear. Yet its head was enveloped by Ye Liuyun's Technique and completely melted away.

Ye Liuyun, under pressure, leapt upward, passing over the Puppet from above. The Puppet kept charging straight ahead, blasting a deep trench through the Mi Lin.

"Ah! Damn thing, you're messing with my Puppet!" Sun Que hadn't expected his such strong Puppet to be taken down so easily by Ye Liuyun.

Suddenly, Ye Liuyun felt as if something had locked onto him.

"Bow‑arrow treasure!"

Ye Liuyun instantly reacted, summoning the War God Armor onto his body, and a Godslaying Bow appeared in his hand, aiming toward the direction that had locked onto him.

His Golden Pupil also noticed a person standing in front of a Metal Puppet in the distance.

He was briefly stunned, confirming that the figure was indeed a Human Martial Cultivator.

"That person looks terribly ugly!" Ye Liuyun couldn't help muttering inwardly.

The man was so hideously ugly that his age was indiscernible, uglier than a ghost. He had a protruding forehead like a lump, sparse hair with only a few strands left, one eye larger than the other, a garlic‑shaped nose, a catfish‑like mouth, ears that stuck out, a triangular head, a goat‑like beard on the chin, looking like a dwarf, and he stared nervously at Ye Liuyun.

The one aiming a bow at Ye Liuyun was the Metal Puppet behind him, exuding thick Demon Qi. It clearly was a Puppet surpassing the Taixu realm. If it fired this arrow, Ye Liuyun wasn't sure even War God Armor could withstand it.

However, Ye Liuyun's Godslaying Bow wasn't a toy; it also locked onto that dwarf now.

The dwarf rolled his eyes and said to Ye Liuyun, "What, you want to die together with me?"

That dwarf's voice was none other than Sun Que, who had been speaking all along.

"No wonder this guy is called a genius; even his looks are ghost‑like! Actually, the Underworld has no such hideously ugly ghosts!" Ye Liuyun muttered inwardly.

Then he sneered, replying to Sun Que: "Heh, I'm a bachelor, nothing to fear."

At this moment, Sun Que halted all Metal Puppets and slowly stepped forward.

"You saw clearly—I'm wearing several protective garments; are you sure you can pierce me!" Sun Que said confidently to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil scanned, and he was startled.

The guy wore three protective garments: a gilded armor, a protective long coat, and an additional set of protective metal armor, all ninth‑grade. He also had a treasure hanging around his neck, possibly a protective talisman.

His Godslaying Bow could now unleash the power of the fifth‑stage Dòngtiān, but this arrow might still not be lethal.

But he calmly said, "If one arrow fails, two will. You might not be able to kill me with a single shot."

Sun Que glanced at Ye Liuyun's red battle armor, pondered, and suggested, "How about we both lower our bows?"

"I keep my word; if you want to put down the bow, you must first let that Puppet retrieve the arrows!" Ye Liuyun replied, refusing to concede.

"Hehe!" Sun Que sneered twice, waved at the Puppet behind him, and the Puppet slowly lowered its bow.

Ye Liuyun could tell the Puppet possessed Divine Sense, for it released the bow slowly; a Puppet without Divine Sense would drop it instantly.

Ye Liuyun waited for it to lower the bow, then he too lowered his bow. Meanwhile, the opposing Puppet first retracted the bow into the Space World, gaining another war‑glaive.

Only then did Ye Liuyun sheath his Godslaying Bow and switch to the Demon Slaying Sword.

"I advise you not to send that Puppet to its death; it's not my opponent!" Ye Liuyun said directly.

He intended to provoke Sun Que and strike at him directly; otherwise, such a fine Puppet would be a waste to kill.

"Oh? Its outer shell—your sword can't even damage it! You're so confident?" Sun Que showed interest.

"If you insist on sending it to its death, let it come and try!" Ye Liuyun said calmly.

Sun Que rolled his mismatched eyes but didn't let the Puppet act. He had just seen Ye Liuyun's Technique killing a Dòngtiān Jìngjiè Puppet.

Although he is an Artifact Refining Master, crafting a Dòngtiān Jìngjiè Puppet is no easy feat; gathering materials is hard, and these Puppets also possess intelligence, making them far tougher to forge than ordinary ones.

At this point, Ye Liuyun used Divine Sense to scan the battlefield.

His side's Mercenaries had already lost two‑thirds, while the opposing Metal Puppets were only half destroyed. Clearly the Puppets were stronger.

These Puppets all have sentient intelligence, making them more agile and coordinated; his Mercenaries were clearly outmatched.

Sun Que rasped, "Even if you can take down a few Puppets, what then? In the end you'll tire yourself out, and I'll kill you; my Puppets are more than these!" Recently the encoding has been severe, giving us more motivation, faster updates, please click to exit reading mode. Thank you.
