With He Xiangyu's cultivation, after he mastered the Five Beast Hoops, he was comparable to an ordinary ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm. It was the same for Grandmother Hui Ling. Once she had the Purple Bottle Gourd, it would be difficult for her to meet an ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm.
Besides having high cultivation, the two of them also had the support of their powerful sects. This was also why they dared to stay behind and face such a terrifying Corpse Puppet alone.
The Corpse Puppet had just awakened and its mind was still blank. This was the easiest time to deal with it. Grandmother Hui Ling and He Xiangyu naturally would not delay any longer. They looked at each other and took the initiative to attack.
A beam of purple light lit up the hall, turning the surroundings into a purple ocean. A ball of purple Qi appeared under Grandmother Hui Ling's feet. In the next moment, her figure crossed tens of meters and appeared in the sky above the Corpse Puppet.
She held the Purple Bottle Gourd in one hand and the walking stick in the other. A beam of red light flashed and the spiritual weapon walking stick suddenly let out a dragon's roar. The shadow of a red dragon enveloped the walking stick and pointed at the Corpse Puppet's head.
Although the Corpse Puppet was dumb, it could still sense the danger. It instinctively raised an arm and blocked the walking stick.
There was a loud bang and a wave of air surged.
The Corpse Puppet staggered back three to four steps. Since the start of the battle, this was the first time it had been defeated.
However, Grandmother Hui Ling was also injured. The purple Qi cloud under her feet collapsed and her figure swayed as she flew back tens of meters. Her attack naturally had no chance of defeating the Corpse Puppet. She only wanted to test the limits of the Corpse Puppet's power.
Reality proved that even with the power of the two spiritual weapons, Grandmother Hui Ling was still far from the Corpse Puppet.
"It can fight."
Although it was Grandmother Hui Ling who had tested the Corpse Puppet, He Xiangyu could tell that if he and Grandmother Hui Ling joined forces, they would have a chance.
His figure flashed and appeared in the sky above the Corpse Puppet. With a wave of his hand, the five bronze hoops in his hand flew out. Each bronze hoops gave off a piercing golden light.
Roar roar roar!
Suddenly, the roars of beasts could be heard in the main hall. Each of the five copper rings released a ball of light, which transformed into various Demonic Beasts of various shapes and sizes. There was a fierce tiger with sharp teeth, a lion with wings on its back, a strong and fierce bull with large horns on its head …
Every creature was vivid and lifelike, and they all had a copper ring around their necks. Through the copper rings, the five beasts formed a strange connection.
"Five Beast Totem!"
Bu Zhangkun's expression was solemn. There was a look of respect on his face. The Five Beast Totem was the highest profound meaning of the Five Beast Hoops. Once the Five Beast Totem was used, the power of the Five Beast Hoops would be unleashed to its limit.
In the past, when the Five Beasts Sect was not strong enough, the five mid-stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners of the Five Beasts Sect joined forces and used the power of the Five Beasts Hoops to activate the Five Beast Totem. They killed two late-stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners on the spot.
Hence, every time the Five Beasts Sect used the Five Beast Totem, it meant that they were facing the greatest challenge.
Pavilion Leader Ye Rong and Bu Zhangkun glanced at each other. Then, they suddenly turned their heads to look at Mo Wen. Their eyes were filled with caution.
At this moment, Mo Wen also moved. He no longer hid in the corner. Instead, he took the initiative to come out and walk towards the Corpse Puppet.
Both of them knew that once Grandmother Hui Ling and Old He attacked with all their might, they would have no time to worry about Mo Wen, who was an unexpected factor. Hence, they still had another mission. That was to guard against Mo Wen and stop him from snatching the two treasures.
When dealing with the Corpse Puppet, the two of them could not do much. However, stopping Mo Wen was not a difficult task.
With a flash of silhouette, Pavilion Leader Ye Rong and Bu Zhangkun appeared in front of Mo Wen at almost the same time.
"Sect leader, what is the meaning of this?" Mo Wen asked calmly as he glanced at the two of them.
"You are too greedy. If you leave now, we can forget about the treasures that you have obtained previously."
Pavilion Leader Ye Rong's expression was solemn. Even though Mo Wen had obtained a large number of treasures from the stone pillar, they were not worth mentioning compared to the Dark Soul Pearl and the Cries of Hades Bell. At this moment, she also did not want to cause unnecessary trouble. She was afraid that Mo Wen would ruin their plan to snatch the treasures.
"Young man, enough is enough. Now, we will not ask you to leave any treasures behind. The door is just there. You can leave at any time," Bu Zhangkun said as he pointed at the door of the great hall.
Bu Zhangkun pointed at the entrance of the great hall. He was also afraid that Mo Wen would come out and cause trouble. After all, it was not easy for Grandmother Hui Ling and Old He to snatch the Dark Soul Pearl and the Cries of Hades Bell from the Corpse Puppet. In the process, any accidents could cause them to fail.
The two of them could naturally see that Mo Wen was interested in the Dark Soul Pearl and the Cries of Hades Bell. They both felt that this youth was too greedy. He was simply reckless. Even if he could snatch the Dark Soul Pearl and the Cries of Hades Bell, it would be impossible for him to bring the treasures out alive. Right now, the best choice was undoubtedly to leave immediately.
Otherwise, if he continued to stay, he would only be in trouble.
"Whether I leave or not is my business. It is none of your business," Mo Wen said calmly.
"So, you are determined to make life difficult for us?" Pavilion Leader Ye Rong's gaze turned cold.
"You are Banshuang's friend. I do not want to kill you. So, let me give you a piece of advice. If you continue to stay, you will die here," Bu Zhangkun said with a sullen expression.
Mo Wen smiled disapprovingly and said, "I want to see how I will die in this place."
As he said this, his silhouette became illusory, as though he had turned into mist.
Pavilion Leader Ye Rong and Bu Zhangkun's pupils shrank. They had exchanged blows before, so the two of them knew that Mo Wen had a very mystical spiritual weapon on him. It could confuse their eyes, causing them to be unable to grasp Mo Wen's exact figure.
Almost without any hesitation, the two of them attacked at the same time.
Two terrifying waves of Inner Qi surged out, enveloping Mo Wen from both sides. The surrounding air solidified. The Protective Qi walls seemed to seal off all directions.
Faced with such an attack, even an intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner could only surrender. However, Mo Wen's silhouette seemed to be unaffected at all. He turned into a gust of wind, bypassing the two of them. In a flash, he had slipped past them.
"How is this possible?"
A look of shock flashed in the eyes of Pavilion Leader Ye Rong and Bu Zhangkun. Just now, they had sealed off all directions of the space. Other than breaking through the seal, there should be no other way for Mo Wen to escape.
However, everything was beyond their expectations. Mo Wen had actually slipped out without breaking the Protective Qi layer. He had not left a single trace behind. Under such circumstances, even if the two of them had high cultivation, they could not stop him in time.
On the other side, He Xiangyu and Grandmother Hui Ling had already attacked with all their might. The two ancient martial art practitioners at the pinnacle of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension unleashed their full power. Their combat ability was enough to make a later stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner tremble.
"Descent of the Sacred Beasts."
He Xiangyu stood in mid-air. With a point of his finger, the transformed Five Beast Totems immediately pounced downwards. They split into five directions, surrounding the Corpse Puppet in the middle.
Once the Five Beast Totems landed on the ground, their bodies emanated beams of golden light. Countless beams of golden light linked together, transforming into chains as thick as an arm. All the chains intertwined, forming a large net that enveloped the Corpse Puppet.
Roar! Roar!
Roar! The Corpse Puppet was enraged after being attacked. It extended its two claws forward, grabbing a few chains with one hand and yanking them furiously.
The power of the Corpse Puppet was astonishing. A later stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner would also be torn apart by it. However, the golden net was miraculous. When faced with the Corpse Puppet's tearing, it actually only deformed a little and did not tear apart.
The Corpse Puppet was clearly a little angry that it had not been able to tear the golden net apart. It stomped its foot furiously on the ground and beams of crimson light were released from its body. The crimson light had an unknown power, but it actually had a frightening corrosive power.
Once the crimson light came into contact with the golden net, it let out a hissing sound. Then, the golden net emitted white smoke and its glow grew dimmer and dimmer.
Roar!
The Corpse Puppet's two arms were covered in a layer of crimson light. In an instant, it expanded to twice its original size. Its two hands once again grabbed the golden net and yanked it furiously.
Although the golden net was tough, at this moment, it could not hold on any longer. Accompanied by a tearing sound, it was torn apart bit by bit.
In mid-air, He Xiangyu's face turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He was the activator of the spiritual weapon. Naturally, he would receive a portion of the power's backlash. However, he did not retreat even half a step. With a flick of his sleeve, a cloth bag flew out.
He Xiangyu glanced at the cloth bag. The next moment, beams of aura crisscrossed and the gray cloth bag was torn apart. Pieces of milky-white spiritual stones fell out.
He slapped his palm on his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the spiritual stones. Once the boiling blood stuck onto the spiritual stones, the spiritual stones melted like lime coming into contact with water.
Blood sacrifice of spiritual stones.
Among martial artists, this was a very common but also very dangerous method of using Spirit Stones. Blood sacrifice of spiritual stones could transform spiritual stones into spiritual energy in the shortest time possible. However, at the same time, the slightest carelessness could endanger one's life.
Perhaps only someone of He Xiangyu's cultivation would dare to use the Blood Sacrifice Spirit Stone without any hesitation without any preparation. However, even for him, using blood sacrifice of spiritual stones once would definitely cause great damage to his vitality. He would need at least a year and a half to completely recover.
A large number of spiritual stones turned into beams of spiritual light. He Xiangyu opened his mouth and inhaled. Like a whale swallowing water, spiritual energy turned into a long river and surged into He Xiangyu's body.
In an instant, all the spiritual energy was transformed into spiritual energy. He Xiangyu pointed downwards and spiritual energy surged into the five copper rings.
The next moment, the five copper rings released an incomparably brilliant light. Each of the beast forms seemed to have materialized and became clearer. The aura from their bodies became stronger and stronger.
The five beasts raised their heads at the same time and each of them spat out a beam of golden light from their mouths. The five beams of light crisscrossed and turned into five chains that were as thick as an adult's arm. They once again wrapped around the Corpse Puppet.
The power of these five golden chains was clearly shocking. As they tightened and tightened, they bound the Corpse Puppet tightly.
Even though the Corpse Puppet was extremely strong, it was unable to break free in a short period of time.
At this moment, Grandmother Hui Ling finally made her move. The Purple Bottle Gourd in her hand flew up automatically and appeared above the Corpse Puppet's head. The mouth of the bottle was pointed downwards and wisps of dense purple gas flowed continuously from the mouth of the bottle. (To be continued.)
