Ancient Taoist Sovereign - C177
“Quickly, everyone help to see which ones can still be saved. As for those who have already become puppets, help them to escape.”
After Chu Ling finished speaking with a low voice, everyone started to get busy, but after half an incense worth of time, there were only around twenty puppets left behind Chu Ling, all of them people with the chance to save him.
Seeing that, Chu Ling did not waste any more words, and took the lead to walk towards the center of the Sword and Fire Domain.
After all, whether it was the reaction of the Green Wood Pill Furnace from before, or the position where Kong Puzhi was most likely to head towards, or in order to pass through the two floors of the Sword Grave as soon as possible so as to leave the Sword Grave conveniently, it was all necessary to head towards the center.
Two days later, in the middle of the Sword and Fire Region, on the other side of a river filled with lava, stood a short and ugly looking man.
The man’s body was covered in sword wounds. The most puzzling thing was that his wounds were either charred black or he was leaking out streams of white pus. An ordinary person would find it hard to eat anything after a glance.
If Chu Ling was present, he would definitely be able to see that the sword wounds were obviously left behind by the Sword Fire Puppet, just like how Chu Ling had seen Su Jianzhu earlier when he was outside of the Sword Grave.
As for this person, Chu Ling could naturally recognize him as well. Such a short and ugly man was naturally Kong Puzhi without a doubt.
“Chu Ling, you caused me to lose all my puppets, causing me to be covered in injuries. If I, Kong Puzhi do not take revenge for this, then wouldn’t the world be laughing at me?
As for you messing up my plans and stealing my woman, I will definitely let you know the consequences of angering me, Kong Puzhi. Originally, I did not plan to do this, but in order to kill you, what else can I not do? ”
Kong Puzhi said coldly. He, who was initially small in stature, had unknowingly taken out a huge stone hammer, and after that, without any hesitation, he smashed the stone hammer towards the ground.
Then, the ground started to tremble and a huge pit was formed at almost the same time.
At that time, cracks appeared one after another on the ground. In just a short span of time, the cracks extended all the way to the surface of the river.
All of a sudden, the river that was initially like magma had turned into a monstrous wave. The huge waves rolled up into the air and almost submerged both sides of the river.
Before Kong Pu Zhi could react, a figure could be seen floating above the river in the blink of an eye. Soon, the turbulent river calmed down, and the only thing left in the world was the man with a simple saber and a suit of red armor.
The man expressionlessly waved his saber and asked mechanically, “Do you want to challenge me?”
“No, I just want to enslave you!” Kong Pu Zhi replied with an expressionless face.
Although his words were plain, if anyone else were to hear it, they would probably be shocked to the point of shouting out loud.
After all, the target of Kong Puzhi’s provocation was the air above the river surface, an existence whose feet were off the ground.
And to be able to stand alone in the air, it was all based on the strength of the Dragon Transformantion Stage.
At the same time, fifty kilometers away, as Chu Ling looked at the distant land that was already filled with flames, he couldn’t help but wipe the sweat off his face.
After all, the feeling they got from being roasted on fire was no different from being roasted over a fire.
“Continue moving,” Chu Ling ordered. Everyone responded immediately and continued to follow Chu Ling.
Chu Ling had walked on one side, while taking out Song Fangyi’s Storage Bag from before, and after he had swallowed a high grade magic tool using the Mirage Spirit Invisible Sword, he started to choose from one of them.
Although there were a lot of things inside Song Fangyi’s Storage Bag, from what Chu Ling could see, the only thing that could enter his eyes was a high-grade profound rank cultivation technique named “Immeasurable Ocean Technique”.
At this time, Chu Ling’s cultivation had already reached the seventh level of Heaven Understanding Stage, and wasn’t too far away from it.
However, he only had the first two volumes of the《 Guiyuan Arts》 he had previously cultivated, so he had to start considering the cultivation method for the Dragon Transformantion Stage.
However, although this < Endless Sea > technique was able to complement his battle skill, the Raindrop Sword, and even increase its power, whether it was the < Endless Sea > or the < Raindrop Sword >, both were slightly lower in levels to Chu Ling now, and were not really suitable for him.
Of course, the technique that Song Fangyi was training with was not the < Endless Ocean Technique >, but it was simply not something that could be recorded by Song Fangyi with a jade cylinder, and even if there was one, if Chu Ling wanted to cultivate it, he would have to consider the opinions of the Song Family.
“Forget it, let’s talk about this later. If I can’t find a more suitable martial art in the future, I’ll use this < Endless Ocean Art >!”
The most important thing right now is to help them undo this puppet technique. That’s what’s most urgent. ”
As Chu Ling thought about this, he unconsciously quickened his pace.
At that time, the people behind him did not fall behind either.
One after another, under the training of Chu Ling’s Pill, coupled with the constant training within the Sword Grave, their cultivation had basically increased by a fold, and even Li Yanrong’s current cultivation had already stepped into the Heaven Understanding Stage, and he was even at the second level of the Heaven Understanding Stage.
Only, what made Chu Ling depressed was that he still could not break through with his own cultivation.
Of course, even so, the difference between Chu Ling and the rest was still extremely obvious.
After walking for a full six hours, Chu Ling finally pressed the Green Wood Pill Furnace on his neck, causing it to quieten down slightly. Only then did he step into the barrier filled with fire.
Although no one said it, everyone knew that they had arrived at the center of the Sword and Fire Domain.
“Boss Chu, quickly look, there is a river there. Rumor has it that Han Xiu and the others had stepped over that river before, and only then, have we entered the second level of Sword Grave, the Sword Wood Region’s, let’s go and take a look.”
Big Beard Song Lingjiang said with a face full of anticipation, showing an impatient look.
After Chu Ling heard this, he looked around and did not see Kong Puzhi. Although he was disappointed, he still nodded his head and said: “Everyone follow behind me, pay attention to the surroundings. Until now, only Han Xiu and the others can pass through this Sword Fire Domain, it is obviously very dangerous, it is not so easy to let us pass.”
After Chu Ling finished speaking, he immediately took the lead and walked towards the river.
Soon after, Chu Ling looked at the river that was flowing like lava, and wondered why there was no danger at all.
Suddenly, the magma like river water suddenly surged, condensing into a millstone sized pillar of water that rushed towards Chu Ling.
Seeing that, Chu Ling’s expression congealed, the stone armor on his body instantly covered his entire body, and the formless spirit sword inside his sleeves instantly transformed into the Dragon Marking Sword form, and landed in Chu Ling’s hand.
“Three Swords Breaking River!”
With that said, a huge river appeared behind Chu Ling and rushed towards the water pillar.
And just at that time, Chu Ling had thought that no matter how strong the water pillar was, it would only be at the Heaven Understanding Stage.
“This is bad. There is even a sliver of lava underneath this lava!”
Chu Ling said in his heart.
In an instant, he felt like he was a small boat in the ocean. As long as it was a little bigger, it would be able to overturn him. Then, what Chu Ling was facing right now, was a monstrous huge wave.
Therefore, in just an instant, Chu Ling’s body was directly flung out by the column of lava. If it were not for Song Yufu and the rest attacking him together, along with the stone armor on his body, Chu Ling’s body would have been melted by the magma in that one strike.
But even so, Chu Ling felt that all the bones in his body were broken, and he was unable to move at all.
And what made Chu Ling even more shocked was that this power was obviously not from his Heaven Understanding Stage.
“Could this be a Sword Puppet from the Dragon Transformantion Stage?” Chu Ling muttered.
However, just as he finished speaking …
“Hahahaha, Chu Ling, this greeting gift should be pretty good, right?”
