"Human Puppet Art, assimilate!"
Beside the river, Gu Ping suddenly stopped his body. Both of his hands moved like butterflies as he formed a spell. All of a sudden, an invisible power spread out with him as the center. It was extremely powerful, but it did not even cause a ripple in the river.
Buzz!
From the surface of the river, a blurry human shadow was shaken out, flying towards where Gu Ping was.
"This is the Shadowless Demon? So weird!"
The warriors brought by Gu Ping could feel their scalps tingling as they could not help but take two steps back.
"Don't worry. This Shadowless Demon will not be able to do anything to me." Gu Ping laughed out loud. The secret art that he had obtained from the ancient ruins was indeed the forbidden art of the Puppet Martial School, the Human Puppet Art. It was different from normal puppet arts, as the materials used for it were not inanimate objects, but living ones. Because of how evil this secret art was, it eventually led to the destruction of the Puppet Martial School.
"Hmm? He's injured! "
Gu Ping thought that it would not be easy to make the Shadowless Demon, since he had never tried it before. However, the process was surprisingly smooth. He could tell that the Shadowless Demon was very weak, as if it had been injured before.
"Shadowless Puppet, done!"
After that, Gu Ping opened his left hand and closed his fingers. All of a sudden, the blurry human figure shrunk into a ball and gathered in his palm.
Gu Ping opened his left hand again. There was no longer a blurry human figure, only a blurry ghost mark. It was like a living creature, twisting and turning.
"Haha, it's done. I didn't think it would be so easy."
After successfully crafting a Shadowless Puppet, Gu Ping was filled with confidence. He felt like he could see countless death warriors following behind him, fighting for him.
"The Human Puppet Art of the Puppet Sect? This brat's luck isn't small, he actually obtained something that many people dream of. Unfortunately, the Human Path Puppet Technique isn't that easy to cultivate. If I didn't remove my control over the demonic will, I would have turned you into an idiot just now. "
Deep underground, a cold and ethereal voice rang out.
"Let's go. There should be more Shadowless Demons down there."
Gu Ping was flying in the front with high spirits, absorbing all the cold qi around him into the mark on his palm.
…
"Hm, there is a Shadowless Demon here as well, but not the one before!"
The Slaughter Sword Intent automatically protected his body. Like cutting a piece of paper, it sliced a blurry human figure that was attacking him into dozens of pieces, which were hard to heal.
"What? Slaughter Sword Intent! "
An exclamation came from the depths of the ground, as if it was extremely fearful of Ye Chen's sword intent.
"Huh! My demonic soul is at peak level rank 7, and the demonic will that I split out is also at rank 5. Let's see how much you can handle. If you were a Life and Death Realm warrior, then I might be a bit worried, since I would not let my demonic will get damaged for nothing. Unfortunately, you are only at Sea of Souls Realm. Although you have the power of your sword intent, your control over it is still not as good as a Life and Death Realm warrior. Take over his body. "
The voice calmed down and became eerie and terrifying.
Buzz buzz buzz buzz …
A formless vibration spread out, and countless blurry human figures rushed out of the river, attacking toward Ye Chen. Their protective Zhen yuan was practically non-existent.
"Kill!"
Inside his Sea of Soul, the Slaughter Sword Spirit vibrated. Halos of sword intent spread out one after another. With Ye Chen as the center, not a single blurry figure could get close to him. All of them were bounced away. Those blurry figures lost their strength and sank into the river to recover.
"Come back!"
A voice was heard from the depths of the ground. Those wounded blurry figures went back the way they came, eventually merging into the darkness. In the next second, brand new blurry figures rushed out and joined the battle.
"So many Shadowless Demons!"
Ye Chen's expression changed slightly.
"Destruction Sword Intent, go!"
As the Slaughter Sword Spirit vibrated, the second sword spirit vibrated as well. Meanwhile, the slaughter element in his Sea of Soul merged with the sword intent released by the second sword spirit, forming a slightly weaker Destruction Sword Intent, but with a more horrifying aura.
The combination of the Destruction Sword Intent and the Slaughter Sword Intent was like a tornado, spreading out in all directions. Those blurry human figures were first sliced into pieces, then swept by the Destruction Sword Intent, melting them into nothingness. Even the possibility of recovery was gone.
"Damn! This is the Destruction Sword Intent, which is even more horrifying than the Slaughter Sword Intent! Where did he learn it from?"
"No! If I keep losing the Demon Will like this, it will affect my Demon Soul greatly. I will take over the bodies of the people behind me first."
The being in the depths of the ground had a slight fear towards the Destruction Sword Intent. Although the Slaughter Sword Intent could also destroy his Demon Will, it was only in a one-on-one situation. Meanwhile, the Destruction Sword Intent was pure destruction. No matter if it was tangible or intangible, nothing could survive it.
All the blurry figures dove into the river at the same time, quickly swimming upstream.
"They left?"
Ye Chen frowned. He finally knew why Zuo Qiu and Li Qingxiang could not even handle one Shadowless Demon. First of all, their martial spirits were only rank four, while his Slaughter Sword Spirit was only at the peak of rank four, but its power was at the peak of rank five. There was a whole rank and a half difference between the two. Secondly, the martial intent was more balanced than the sword intent, which was the sword intent. Its speed, defense, and attacking power would all be increased. However, in the underground crack, balance meant mediocrity. If one's attack power was not enough, then they would not be able to hurt the Shadowless Demons. Although the defense power of the will had been increased, under the constant attacks of the Shadowless Demons, there would still be a time when one would feel tired. Any slight carelessness would lead to the Shadowless Demons being taken advantage of. However, Ye Chen's sword intent could destroy the Shadowless Demons with one attack. Even facing a group of Shadowless Demons, he could still hurt them. As for the defense power of the will, Ye Chen did not need it at all. Before those Shadowless Demons even got close, the sword intent would have already sensed it, and it would automatically protect itself.
Added with the Destruction Sword Intent, Ye Chen was as hard to deal with as a porcupine.
"I will deal with it when it comes. I will go look for the Rootless Flower and the Shadowless Plant first." In this cold and gloomy environment, Ye Chen did not feel the slightest bit of fear. On the path of martial dao, there was no room for cowardice or fear. The sword dao was born from the martial dao, but it was even harsher than the martial dao.
Shoo!
Turning into a beam of blue light, Ye Chen flew downstream.
…
"Ah! Master Ping, save me! "
"Something is trying to take over my body! I cannot hold it anymore!"
"Save me! I do not want to be taken over!"
Screams were heard everywhere as Gu Ping's face turned pale.
"Where did all these Shadowless Demons come from? How can I handle them all by myself?"
If it were just two or three of them, Gu Ping would have the confidence to handle them. But, there were dozens of them, and Gu Ping thought he could protect himself. Plus, according to the information he got from the pavilion, there were not that many of them in the underground crack.
"Human Puppet Spell! Train!"
The invisible power spread out like a net, grabbing the dozens of Shadowless Demons that were trying to take over the Gu family warriors' bodies.
However, the power of the dozens of Shadowless Demons had already surpassed the pulling power of the Human Puppet Spell. No matter how hard Gu Ping pushed his Puppet Spell to its limit, he still could not stop them from taking over their bodies. All he could do was watch them enter his warriors' bodies.
"Puppet Pearl!"
At the critical moment, Gu Ping threw out a shining bead, which spun and floated above his head. Right after that, the bead shot out the same power as the Human Puppet Spell, increasing its power.
"Come here!"
With the help of the pearl, Gu Ping was like a god. His invisible power had been doubled, and he managed to drag the dozens of Shadowless Demons out.
"Huh! You even have a Puppet Pearl? What a great fortune! But, it is not worth mentioning in my eyes. Demon Will Drill!"
A light vibration spread out as four Shadowless Demons combined together, turning into a shapeless drill, drilling into the pearl.
Pap!
The cracks on the surface of the pearl spread out, and the dim light dimmed.
"No! My Puppet Pearl!"
Gu Ping's eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. The puppet orb was a support item that could push his human puppet art to another level. It was exactly because of the orb that he dared to come to this underground crack. After all, he knew that his human puppet art had not been trained to completion yet.
Crack!
The Puppet Pearl was shattered, turning into a dim light and disappearing.
"Run!"
Gu Ping did not have any other thoughts. As long as there was life, there would be hope. This many Shadowless Demons had already crossed his bottom line.
"Where do you think you are going?!"
Upstream, more and more Shadowless Demons appeared, surrounding the group.
Ah!
Ah!
At the same time, all of the Gu family warriors that Gu Ping had brought had their bodies taken over one after another. Their eyes turned white as an intense cold qi rose from their bodies. They did not look like living creatures, but zombies.
As more and more of the Gu family warriors were taken over, Gu Ping's face turned gray. He could never have thought that this fortune would turn into a nightmare.
"Your power is not bad, and you know the Human Puppet Spell. Let my main demon will take over your body."
Among those Shadowless Demons, a blurry human figure that was even more muscular walked out. It opened its mouth like a black hole, swallowing Gu Ping instantly. Gu Ping struggled inside the blurry human figure's body, using his martial will to attack it from time to time. But, this blurry human figure was way more powerful than the other Shadowless Demons, so it did not help at all.
After a long while!
Gu Ping stopped struggling, allowing the human figure to enter his body and take over his body.
Pap!
Gu Ping's feet landed on the ground as he opened his eyes. Different from the others, his eyes did not turn white. Instead, they looked normal. However, there was a darkness in the depth of his pupils, as if there was something horrifying hiding inside. The cold qi on his body was very faint as well. If one did not look carefully, they would not be able to sense it at all.
With a grin, Gu Ping let out a creepy sound.
"Hehe, I finally have a good incarnation. Now, I can use it to go out and see what the outside world is like. But before that, I will first take over that kid's body. His body is more suitable to be my incarnation. Once the two incarnations are formed, there might be a chance for me to escape."
"Go, let's go!"
Gu Ping waved his hand, and countless blurry human shadows jumped into the river, following the direction where the river was flowing. Meanwhile, the warriors of the Gu family who had been possessed flew forward numbly. Their movements were synchronized, and they looked lifeless.
