Chapter 1167: Chapter 643: Suppressing and Killing (Thanks to the Leader, Xu Xian) _2 Chapter 1167: Chapter 643: Suppressing and Killing (Thanks to the Leader, Xu Xian) _2 “Yin Junior Sister, the man before us is a Foundation Establishment Completion practitioner. Although I am confident I can slay him, it might deplete a lot of my spiritual power. When the time comes, you should try to escape on your own; don’t worry about me.”

While Xie Yuntian was confident in his mastery of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter, believing that within the Eastern Wilderness, no other Foundation Establishment practitioner could match him, he was also aware that one cannot fight off four with only two hands.

If the enemy could so precisely grasp that they would come here, and even set up an ambush in advance, it was clear they knew the strength of both of them well.

In such a situation, daring to send only four people over, they must be confident in their ability to capture them with this lineup.

“Senior Brother Xie, don’t worry about me. I have life-saving means bestowed by my ancestors.”

Compared to Xie Yuntian’s caution, Yin Qingmei seemed much more composed.

However, in her heart, she was thinking: why hasn’t my foster father shown up yet?

“Good!”

After hearing Yin Qingmei’s words, Xie Yuntian no longer had any worries and directly spat out a cyan-blue beam of light from his mouth. His hard-earned later-stage Fire Spirit Body, combined with the Green Flames Sword Slaughter, now possessed sixty percent of the power Chen Mobai had during his Foundation Establishment phase!

The Foundation Establishment Completion practitioner in a black robe who was caught off guard was split into two halves by the Sword Evil Slash!

“Senior Brother Xie is amazing!”

Yin Qingmei couldn’t help cheering at the sight.

But soon, Xie Yuntian’s expression changed slightly; he realized that what his Sword Sha had seemingly slain did not feel like a human body!

And at that moment, a bizarre and eerie cold aura burst forth from the other three Foundation Establishment practitioners. They took out a set of black Array Flags, which transformed into a surging cold tide, enveloping both Xie Yuntian and Yin Qingmei.

Yin Qingmei immediately used the Divine Wood Shield, transforming it into a green light shield that enveloped both of them.

Seeing this, Xie Yuntian stopped releasing the Spirit Leaf Talisman from his palm.

Just as he was about to use his Sword Control to slay the three Array-setting Foundation Establishment practitioners, the ground suddenly collapsed with a thunderous boom!

Although both of them managed to fly up in time, numerous dark yellow sandstone hands burst out from the ground, grabbing their feet and dragging them toward the sunken earth.

At the same time, the Meridian Cold Tide Formation also erupted to its extreme at this moment, frosting the Divine Wood Shield with a layer of frost.

The green light shield cracked instantly!

Xie Yuntian used his Sword Control to cut off the large sandstone hands under their feet, and then crushed the Spirit Leaf Talisman in his palm!

But just as he had freed himself, the mysterious person his Green Flames Sword Slaughter had split into two suddenly stood up, transforming into two pitch-black wooden blocks stacked into Puppet Snakes, which crossed in an X-shape to snip at him.

Xie Yuntian had no choice but to spit out another Green Flames Sword Slaughter from his mouth, shattering this wave of attack.

But what he found unbelievable happened — the two Puppet Snakes burning with the Sword Sha’s flames suddenly shed their wooden outer layer, revealing two even more intricately detailed and lifelike Gravel Long Snakes.

At this time, Xie Yuntian’s Spirit Leaf Talisman was also shattered by the Meridian Cold Tide.

The two Gravel Long Snakes, like ropes, wound through the dispersing cracks and bound Xie Yuntian and Yin Qingmei together.

“Hmph, trying to trap me…”

Xie Yuntian snorted with rage, channeling the last of the Green Flames Sword Slaughter from his Dantian Qi Sea, attempting to melt the Gravel Long Snakes.

But at this moment, the Meridian Cold Tide fell, forcibly suppressing the Green Flames Sword Slaughter for a blink of an eye.

Suddenly, a black nail was spat out from the mouth of the snake on Xie Yuntian’s body, piercing into his Dantian Qi Sea.

In an instant, the Green Flames Sword Slaughter completely dissolved!

“A Spirit-banishing Nail?”

Xie Yuntian’s expression changed drastically, but it was too late to make a desperate move.

All of his spiritual power was sealed.

The Gravel Long Snake trapping Yin Qingmei also spit out a black nail, but she blocked it with an Ancient Bronze Mirror.

Then, the might of a Rank-3 Magic Artifact erupted, carrying Yin Qingmei as she broke free from the restraints, flying upwards into the sky.

The Meridian Cold Tide surged again, attempting to suppress Yin Qingmei!

But the Haotian Mirror burst forth with Pure Yang Fire, instantly breaking through this force.

“Chen Lao Mo’s Six-Yang Divine Fire Mirror! He actually had it on him for protection. Hehe, this is good; I’ve hit the jackpot today. Not only do I get your body with a Heavenly Spiritual Root but also a Rank-3 Magic Artifact…”

The sinister words floated unpredictably through the air, and it was only after hearing this that Xie Yuntian realized who he had been fighting all this time–it seemed to be the opponent’s Puppet Device!

“Which member of Liu Jia Mountain are you?”

In the Eastern Wilderness, the only others capable of such mastery in the Puppetry Technique, aside from the Puppet Division of the Divine Wood Sect, would be from Liu Jia Mountain.

“The Puppetry Technique of Liu Jia Mountain may be decent, but it can hardly be mentioned in the same breath as our Restoration Society. Stop probing. The president has ordered that we capture those with a Heavenly Spiritual Root alive; the rest may be killed without mercy. You will undoubtedly die today!”

The creepy words rang out again, followed by the formation of a Gravel Flying Sword in front of Xie Yuntian’s brow that, along with a flash of Spiritual Light, looked set to pierce through the brow of this number one Foundation Establishment practitioner from the Divine Wood Sect.

A streak of Pure Yang Spiritual Light descended from the sky–Yin Qingmei was taking action.

“Yin Junior Sister, you should have escaped!”

Xie Yuntian let out a long sigh at this scene.

Having the Sect Leader’s Magic Artifact for protection, Yin Qingmei at least had a chance to escape the encirclement. Even if she were to be pursued later, she could delay them for some time, and who knows, there might be a chance of survival.

“Xie Senior Brother, you’re giving me too much credit. Having activated the Sect Leader’s Magic Artifact, my Spiritual Power is already depleted. I wouldn’t get far even if I ran!”

Yin Qingmei spoke with a faint smile, her face slightly pale as she held the Haotian Mirror.

Xie Yuntian and those trying to kill him both found it odd to see her smiling at such a life or death moment.

[To avoid prolonged trouble, let’s kill Xie Yuntian first!]
Hidden in the darkness and controlling the puppet, Xu Shengbing frowned slightly, preparing to activate his own Gravel Flying Sword.

Suddenly, footsteps approached from behind him.

“You’ve only brought four Foundation Establishment Practitioners? Not enough to even give me a proper warm-up.”

The words from behind sent a chill down Xu Shengbing’s spine. He whirled around and saw a long-robed young man with an air of disappointment, his features both clear and distinguished.

“You… you’re supposed to be at Giant Tree Ridge…”
Upon seeing Chen Mobai’s face, Xu Shengbing spoke in disbelief.

“That thing? It was just one of my Puppet Bodies.”

Chen Mobai’s words made Xu Shengbing’s eyes widen in shock as he started shaking his head.

“That’s impossible; if you were a Puppet Body, you couldn’t have deceived my Junior Brother.”

“My Puppetry Technique is a bit beyond what you people in this world can imagine, you know?”

Chen Mobai said with a smile, while Xu Shengbing’s whole body burned with Essence Blood, unleashing all his Spiritual Power in an instant, attempting to use the explosive power of a Blood Curse to escape alive.

But just as he tried to take flight, he found his body as heavy as if burdened with a thousand pounds, terribly heavy, unable to lift his feet off the ground.

Looking down, he saw that, at some unknown time, wisps of colorful mist-like silk had ensnared his entire body.

Even the Blood Curse Escape Skill, which could supposedly boost one’s speed threefold for a short duration, was unable to break even a single strand of the colorful mist silk.

The “Red Misty Cloud Silk,” a Rank-3 Magic Artifact, might be almost insignificant against a Golden Core Cultivator, but it was more than enough to suppress a Foundation Establishment Practitioner effortlessly.

“Who is the mole within my sect?”

Chen Mobai asked, at the same time uncorking the Yellow Skin Gourd at his waist as orange-red radiance flickered within it, followed by a spurt of blood light.

It sliced through the Array Flags held by three nearby Ghost Cultivators, also piercing their Dantian Qi Seas.

“Ha ha, do you think I would actually tell you?”

Xu Shengbing said grimly. Then, his eyes bulged as his body suddenly expanded, and the terrifying Restriction hidden within his body erupted, igniting all of his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, resulting in a Blood Curse Thunder Method powerful enough to destroy half of the Changzhuan Mountain Market.

Chen Mobai’s brows furrowed slightly and, with a clench of his right hand, the “Red Misty Cloud Silk” turned into a colorful ball of light that enveloped Xu Shengbing entirely.

What he considered his final trump card, the Blood Curse Thunder Method, merely resulted in a muffled boom that slightly distorted the ball of light but did nothing more.
