Chapter 41: Infuriating to the point of death, Jinchan Lao Zu lies in hiding!

Shi Gui Dao Ren stared, mouth agape, his face as still as water!

Fuck……

Just who the hell is this pervert?!

That is a genuine Quasi-Saint puppet; although it's a dead thing, its strength is undoubtedly of Quasi-Saint level.

And now, Chen Ku simply snatched it away so easily?!

Even if he went all out to block it, it still ended in failure.

Shi Gui Dao Ren's gaze toward Chen Ku was like seeing a ghost, his expression twisted beyond belief.

Immediately after, a deep sense of heartache surged up.

You have to know, Shi Gui Dao Ren himself is only at the early Quasi-Saint stage.

To craft a Quasi-Saint puppet, the expended energy and mana, etc., are immeasurable.

It hasn't even shown its full might yet, and Chen Ku just snatched it away?

Shi Gui Dao Ren felt as if his heart were dripping blood.

"You… quickly return this venerable one's puppet!"

Shi Gui Dao Ren's qi and blood surged to his heart, and he hastily shouted.

Hearing that, Chen Ku merely glanced at him lightly and chuckled.

"Your puppet?!"

"Hehe, where did that even come from? When did I take your puppet?!"

Upon hearing that, Shi Gui Dao Ren was stunned, nearly spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

Damn… you brat, your forgetfulness is that huge?!

He clearly just snatched his own Quasi-Saint puppet, then turned around and denied it?!

Shameless!

Truly shameless!

Shi Gui Dao Ren was seething with anger.

"Damn it, that is clearly this venerable one's puppet."

"This venerable one's divine sense imprint is still etched within it."

In fact, Shi Gui Dao Ren also had some anger surging to his heart, his mind muddled.

What he said was downright laughable.

He didn't realize that he himself had come just to rob Chen Ku, so how could the latter return his puppet?

One could even say it was like children squabbling.

Upon hearing Shi Gui Dao Ren's words, Chen Ku's smile grew even stranger.

He seemed to have thought of something, and spoke with righteous confidence.

"Oh? If that's the case……"

"Then why did you implant your divine sense imprint into my puppet?!"

Shi Gui Dao Ren:?????

Good heavens, is there any justice left!

Listen up!

Damn, is that even human speech?!

Shi Gui Dao Ren's face flushed red, his eyes bloodshot, glaring at Chen Ku as if he were about to go mad with anger.

But having learned from past experience, he dared not act rashly for the moment.

……

Meanwhile,

On the other side, Jieyin and Zhunti are here!

Just as Chen Ku clashed head-on with Shi Gui Dao Ren, the two had already launched a violent assault, battling the four great Quasi-Saints including Linglong Lao Zu.

Even facing the siege of the four great Quasi-Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti appeared completely at ease.

After all, the two have cultivated together for endless ages, their tacit understanding extremely deep.

Often, a single glance is enough for them to understand each other's intent.

Their bodies twisted and turned, great divine arts unleashed, mighty and unceasing; facing four foes with two, they moved as leisurely as a stroll in a garden.

"Hmph, ultimately just a rabble."

"They merely teamed up temporarily for profit, distrusting each other—what waves could they possibly raise?"

In the midst of the battle, Zhunti snorted contemptuously, his expression full of disdain.

He could see that the four Quasi-Saints opposite, though imposing in appearance and seemingly employing various great divine arts,

but without exception, each secretly held back.

Obviously, these four cannot fully trust each other, still harboring suspicion.

That is hardly surprising.

After all, Jieyin and Zhunti possess overwhelming strength; if they truly fought to the death, whoever charged most fiercely would die the fastest.

Naturally, no one wishes to be that cannon fodder!

Furthermore, even if Jieyin and Zhunti were defeated, there would only be two strands of Primordial Purple Qi.

Those four Quasi-Saints also cannot avoid another struggle.

For now, preserving strength is key to gaining the upper hand in future contests.

Only by preserving one's strength now can one seize the initiative in the ensuing struggle.

Those who can cultivate to this realm are naturally people of deep scheming.

Hearing Zhunti's words, Jieyin also nodded slightly.

These four are nothing to fear!

His words were even more blunt and decisive.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Jieyin again showed a worried expression.

But I don't know how my disciple is doing right now.

That Corpse Puppet Daoist is ultimately a Quasi-Sage powerhouse...

Jieyin couldn't help but sigh.

Linglong Old Ancestor and the other powerhouses had laid out plans in advance, spreading Chaos Mist to obscure the scene.

Moreover, since the great war began, the Calamity Light has spread, making it impossible for Jieyin to discern Chen Ku's situation.

Thus, he couldn't help but worry for Chen Ku's safety.

Hearing that, Zhunti smiled knowingly and said:

Hehe, no need to worry about that brat!

Senior Brother, don't you forget that the divine abilities and numerous spiritual treasures he controls are far more astonishing than ours?

Even if he can't defeat that Corpse Puppet Daoist, self-preservation is still no problem.

Obviously, Zhunti also sees this clearly.

Although Chen Ku only knew how to complain before, his strength is absolutely not to be underestimated.

With his cultivation at the peak of Great Luo Golden Immortal, Zhunti isn't the slightest bit worried about going head-to-head with an early Quasi-Sage.

Hearing that, Jieyin also understood, a relieved smile appearing on his face.

Hehe, not bad!

At worst, that brat can escape with ease.

Jieyin said the same.

If it were someone else, Jieyin might still worry that his hot blood would get the better of him, leading to a reckless fight to the death.

But when it comes to his own disciple? That's simply impossible.

That brat is extremely adept at reading the situation.

If necessary, he will certainly not hesitate to slip away.

With that thought, Jieyin's mind settled.

Having gathered his thoughts, Jieyin turned his gaze to the four Quasi-Sage powerhouses before him; his originally calm eyes suddenly burst forth with an icy killing intent to the extreme.

If that's the case, we two must also hurry!

Hmph, the karma has already been settled today; to avoid future complications.

Between us… only one side can walk out alive from outside the Chaos Realm.

In an instant, Jieyin's words already carried an indescribably cold and stern feeling.

Today, it was Linglong Old Ancestor and the others who made the first move.

Now the two sides are fighting so fiercely it's impossible to tell who's winning!

Unless it's a fight to the death, this matter can no longer be left unresolved.

Furthermore, in the eyes of all beings, Jieyin and Zhunti's actions are shameless, ruthless, and stop at nothing.

But to Jieyin and Zhunti, this is decisive slaughter.

They still understand the principle that if you don't eradicate the roots when cutting grass, future troubles will be endless.

Without needing Jieyin to say more, Zhunti at this moment already had his vital energy trembling, raising a tremendous terror.

With a flip of his hand, the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree appeared again, its light brilliant, sweeping across millions of li of the universe, dazzling the eyes.

Jieyin likewise moved his mind, summoning the Seven Treasures Red-Petal Golden Lotus, releasing endless fine light, its sharpness fully exposed, as if it could pierce through everything in the world.

This treasure was obtained earlier from the Self-born Treasure Rock beneath, unmatched in attack.

Spiritual treasures held high, Jieyin and Zhunti let out a cold laugh.

Afterward, without further words, they immediately launched a violent assault.

Every move carried killing intent, exceptionally ruthless, showing no mercy!

Seeing this, Linglong Old Ancestor and the four others changed expression, their pupils contracting sharply.

Only then did they faintly feel what kind of powerful existence they had provoked.

……

But those present did not know.

Just as they fought without cease.

On another side, within the Chaos Void, a gloomy gaze still watched Chen Ku's movements.

This person is none other than the Golden Toad Old Ancestor of the Celestial Court!
