Chapter 130: You're Crazy

  Eight people quickly arrived at the center of the crowd of disciples and saw Chen Qiushui and Fang Ziqing facing off, and couldn't help but pause in surprise.

  "What's going on?" Li Chen Dong and Fan Yun Di's faces fell.

  In front of other sects and in times of crisis, their own disciples are actually infighting, this is really laughable!

  Chen Qiushui and Fang Ziqing remained silent, neither of them rushing to speak. Both women were extremely intelligent and knew that if either of them spoke first, it would only lead to suspicion and mistrust of the other, so they let the onlookers speak instead, which was more convincing.

  "Master Uncle, it's like this..." Lin Fengling recounted the whole thing.

  When it came to mentioning Fang Ziqing's move, he paused for a moment, but still stated the facts.

  "What! Xia Chen has been kidnapped?" Li Chendong and Fan Yun's faces changed greatly.

  Now Xia Chen is the most promising genius disciple of Zhengxuan Sect. If something really happens, how can we explain it to the sect and Han Dongyu? The mighty Zhengxuan Sect can't even protect its own disciples, what face does it have to be called one of the seven major sects?

  The two of them were anxious and didn't bother to investigate whose responsibility it was, they rushed to the place where Xia Chen was engulfed by the bloody fog, but after looking for half a moment, they still couldn't figure out what had happened, their faces turned extremely ugly.

  That bloody handprint had long since disappeared along with the blood mist, leaving no signs or portents behind. Not to mention searching for Xia Chen, there wasn't even a hint of his presence.

  "It's the Blood Puppet King's attack born from the forbidden technique, untraceable. If we were there to assist at that time, but now... only breaking the seal can be said." Zhan Li also followed up, using the Innate Opening Eyes Technique to observe for a long time, and slowly said.

  It goes without saying that Xia Chen can't be found anymore.

  Li Chen Dong and Fan Yun stood opposite each other in silence, never expecting that after finally severely injuring the Blood Puppet King, something like this would happen.

  "Brother Li, Brother Fan, don't worry too much," Zhan Lei comforted. "I think Xia Chen is a lucky person with a good destiny, and his methods are unusual. Even if he's been kidnapped, he should be able to take care of himself. Moreover, Xuegui Duojun has been seriously injured, so it won't be easy for him to harm Xia Chen."

  Although he said so, everyone was silent, knowing in their hearts that Xia Chen's chances of survival were slim, and Xuegui Du Jun was a master of the second realm after all. Even if he was on the verge of death, it was impossible for a mortal disciple to resist him.

  Xuanlingzi and Jindazhao also looked solemn, the Yunling Sect disciples had already reported to them the scene of Yue Ling's death. Although only one post-heavenly sixth-grade disciple was lost, it was already an unfortunate luck. However, a loss was still a loss.

  "Xuē Guǐ Dú Jūn is too despicable, using the forbidden trap to intentionally deceive us and get us trapped, so he can ambush our disciples. As a Zǔ Shī level figure, he actually dares to attack his juniors, truly shameless." Jiāo Yún Fēi said furiously.

  "We must find the source of the seal as soon as possible, otherwise the loss will not be just Xia Chen and Yue Ling. The longer we drag on, the more unfavorable it is for us." Jin Dazhao sighed.

  Everyone furrowed their brows deeply, and even with the use of the Innate Opening Eyes Great Method, plus the fake positioning compass, they still couldn't find the true source of the seal. Instead, they fell into a trap. Could it be that the restriction really can't be broken?

  When everyone was at a loss, Xia Chen had already been drawn into a dark space.

  This space seems to be underground, with a dull and stifling atmosphere in the emptiness. Although there is a faint light, it is impossible to see things clearly, only vaguely visible are the intersecting forbidden patterns that occasionally tremble silently.

  After the bloody hand entered the space, it released Xia Chen's body. Xia Chen stood on the ground without moving, and the thunder that Fang Ziqing had inserted into his body was completely driven out. Only after feeling the true energy flowing freely did Xia Chen let out a sigh of relief.

  Fang Ziqing, you dare to secretly plot against me... Xia Chen's teeth itched with hatred. He had long wanted to kill Fang Ziqing, but never got the chance. Unexpectedly, in such a crisis situation, Fang Ziqing actually dared to take the initiative and strike first.

  "You little insect, you've finally fallen into my hands! Good, too good!" A voice full of hatred suddenly rang out.

  Xia Chen looked up and saw a man standing not far away, with a ferocious expression on his face. He was identical to the Blood Puppet King that had appeared outside using divine sense earlier. Apparently, this one should be the real thing.

  Two tall figures stood on either side of him, each exuding a powerful aura.

  These four figures were all crimson, their faces unrecognizable, with only a pair of pupils emitting an eerie blood glow, seemingly human cultivators, yet not quite.

  Behind the four of them, several thick tentacle-like arms stretched out, like octopus claws, waving from time to time.

  Seeing the four of them, Xia Chen finally knew what the tentacles that had caught him were. These four things that looked like humans and ghosts were not to be underestimated, comparable to a late-stage tenth-order cultivator.

  "This is my Blood Puppet, all of whom were once cultivators of the Later Heaven Realm's tenth level. I captured and refined them into puppets." The Blood Poison King seemed to have seen through Xia Chen's thoughts, and coldly said, "How was it? You've fought with them before, didn't you find it pleasant? Soon, you'll become one of them too."

  Xia Chen nodded: "No wonder you're called Blood Puppet Poison Lord, I've always been curious, Poison Lord I understand, it turns out that Blood Puppet refers to this, great, I like puppets very much, how about you give these four guys to me?"

  His face was calm and he spoke fluently, without a hint of fear.

  His eyes narrowed: "Are you aware that you're doomed to die, so you don't dare to kill me, or are you pretending to be calm? Little bug, although I'd love to tear you apart, I must admire your courage. Many of my disciples can't even muster the courage to speak in front of me."

  "Do I look like I'm pretending? If you were in your prime, maybe you'd still have a chance to intimidate me." Xia Chen snapped his fingers and said calmly, "But now, you're not even as good as an ordinary first-rank cultivator of the Divine Path. You dare to lecture me? It's simply laughable. Don't put on airs in front of me."

  His tone suddenly turned ferocious: "Blood Puppet Poison King, you're about to die. If you have any benefits or treasures, hand them over quickly. Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll spare your corpse!"

  Xue Kui's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Xia Chen with an incredulous gaze, as if looking at a madman.

  This junior is going crazy, absolutely crazy. He's about to be refined into a poisonous corpse puppet and become a living dead with the most painful and miserable way, yet he's still shouting and threatening a two-cultivation-stage divine spirit?

  It's like a mouse, boasting in front of a seriously injured tiger that it will eat the tiger. Who doesn't know that even if the tiger is badly hurt, one swipe of its paw can turn the mouse into mush.

  "What right do you have?" Xue Kui Du Jun gazed at Xia Chen, saying word by word.

  "You don't believe me? Want to try it out? If you're too afraid, let your four puppets try, and see if I can instantly kill your blood puppet!" Xia Chen smiled, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth, suddenly exuding a ruthless meaning.

  He suddenly walked towards Blood Fiend Emperor, without making any sound, just like that, as if he was going to his death, or as if he was going to kill someone.

  Xue Wugu's gaze was fixed on Xia Chen, and he suddenly felt a chill that went to the bone. This feeling had not been experienced by him for a long time, so distant that it had already been forgotten. He even thought that in the future, there would be no possibility of experiencing this feeling again.

  But today, now, he actually felt a chill in a younger generation, a later disciple who was regarded as an ant by him. This is truly contradictory, suddenly making Blood Puppet Poison King have a heart-wrenching feeling.

  "I'll refine you right now and see what tricks you have up your sleeve?" Blood Puppet Poison King said slowly. His divine sense stirred, and the four blood puppets immediately swung their blood-colored tentacles and charged forward.

  Xia Chen stopped in his tracks, patted his abdomen lightly with his hand, and a black figure appeared at an indescribable speed. In the blink of an eye, four iron fists that could shatter anything struck the bodies of the four blood puppets with great force.

  Dong, dong, dong, dong! Four muffled sounds almost rang out at the same time. The faces of the four blood puppets revealed a ferocious expression, and they were just about to stretch out their bloody hands when they suddenly seemed to be petrified, stiffening into immobility.

  After a brief moment, the blood puppet suddenly let out a long, mournful howl, emitting an ear-piercing scream that was unlike anything else. Its body exploded in a burst of grief, transforming into countless fragments of flesh and blood that filled the sky. In an instant, a bloody rain poured down, covering the entire ground.

  Four blood puppets comparable to the strength of a late-stage Heaven Immortal, one hit and they're dead!

  Xia Chen's true energy shook, and the flesh and blood of the four Blood Puppets were shaken open in mid-air. In front of him stood a tall figure, his entire body pitch black, with only a faint glow emanating from his pupils, which was the puppet obtained from Lie Yunzi's cave mansion.

  This puppet has not been used since it returned to the Orthodox Sect, but as Xia Chen's biggest trump card, it has been hidden. Now in this enclosed space, facing the heavily injured Blood Puppet Poison King, it is naturally the best time to use it.

  At that time, two pieces of yuan stone could make the puppet launch an attack far beyond its innate tenfold strength. Just now in the cauldron, Xia Chen almost fed all the nearly twenty pieces of yuan stone to the puppet.

  Even the strongest Jindou cultivator can be countered head-on by a puppet.

  But Blood Puppet Xie had been seriously injured from the start, and was repeatedly attacked by Xia Chen with the combined efforts of everyone, his strength was less than one percent, now he wasn't even comparable to an ordinary first-order cultivator, this loss and that gain, facing the puppet naturally couldn't win.

  Of course, Xia Chen was also gambling. If Xue Kui's poison puppet was still stronger than eating all the yuan stones, then he would have to fight for his life.

  But now, looking at Xue Kui's incredibly shocked eyes, Xia Chen knew that he had gambled correctly.

  "Impossible! This is impossible! You actually possess this puppet treasure, which is at least a high-grade treasure. As a post-heaven cultivator, how could you possibly own it? Even if you were the ancestor of the Zhengxuan sect, you might not necessarily have such a treasure!"

  The Blood Puppet's Toxic Lord was shocked and frightened, staring fixedly at the puppet, and involuntarily let out a loud cry. He finally knew that this little guy in front of him was absolutely not pretending to be calm, but had enough threatening cards to threaten himself.

  He felt a fierce killing intent emanating from this puppet, causing all the hairs on his body to stand on end.

  "Ignorant fool." Xia Chen sneered and didn't bother to argue with him, pointing at Xuegui Du Jun, "If it wasn't for you dragging me into this enclosed space, I wouldn't have taken out the puppet. Do you still want to refine me into a poisonous corpse puppet? Dream on, die for me, Xuegui Du Jun!"

  The puppet took a step forward, and a strong power burst out, about to rush fiercely towards the Blood Puppet King.
