Chapter Eighty-two: Blood Puppet

  It seems that this bronze coffin is indeed Lie Yunzi's place of sitting and becoming a Buddha. Xia Chen thought to himself.

  Suddenly, a faint humming noise came from above, and Xia Chen looked up to see dozens of magical artifacts wrapped in restriction orbs, floating back and forth with a dazzling glow.

  Among these treasures, there are jade bottles, knives, swords, cauldrons, flags, wheels, cloth bags and pagodas, etc., almost all kinds of things, extremely extraordinary at first glance.

  There were also some golden light flashing books moving back and forth, occasionally flipping through the pages, even on the ground, you could catch a glimpse of the words full of spiritual energy inside.

  It's clear that these books are divine skills and techniques.

  "These magical treasures and techniques were all refined, created, and collected by me. I have erased the divine seal imprints from them, so whether you are a supernatural cultivator or a mortal cultivator, you can obtain them at will. However, the greatest treasure is placed in my coffin, as a puppet for my corpse after death. This puppet is the most satisfactory work of my life, and it can be activated with the method of dripping blood to imprint, using the yuan stone..." The voice of Lie Yunzi came out from the jade slip once again.

  Even if it's just a lingering voice in the jade tablet, it's filled with pride.

  Xia Chen's eyes locked onto something, and he strode towards Lie Yunzi's bronze coffin.

  Knock knock knock!

  The man in blue clothes, Ling Luo Tian and Zhan Tingting also fell from the mouth of the god statue. As soon as they stood firm, they saw the flying treasures and martial arts everywhere in the sky.

  The three of them were stunned for a moment before quickly regaining their composure, their faces filled with wild joy as they leapt high into the air, grabbing at the techniques and treasures floating in mid-air.

  The magical treasures and techniques of the ancient divine cultivator were all precious treasures for postnatal practitioners, and at this moment, the three people didn't even bother to chase after Xia Chen anymore.

  Again two loud noises, Qin An and others along with the disciples of the two factions also jumped down, stunned for a moment, they all excitedly jumped up to fight for the treasure.

  There were many treasures and skills in the hall, but the Wolf Gang and Xie Fengmen had all been defeated. The remaining people didn't have as many treasures as they did before, so there wasn't much conflict.

  Xia Chen ignored the crowd and strode forward a few steps, then lifted the lid of the bronze coffin.

  Whoa! A wave of stagnant air that had been suppressed for who-knows-how-long rushed forward.

  After Xia Chen retreated two steps, he fanned his hand a few times. When the dust had dispersed, only then did he see that in the center of the coffin stood a snow-white skeleton, its bones neatly arranged and shining, like white jade.

  A skull's head, in the two empty eye sockets, there seems to be a fluorescent flash.

  Xia Chen suddenly had a kind of illusion, as if this skeleton still had life.

  He steadied himself and said in a low voice: "Lieu Yunzi, senior, sorry!" He grabbed Lue Yunzi's skeleton with one hand and was about to throw it out directly.

  Suddenly, Xia Chen's hand stopped, and after a moment's thought, he pulled Lie Yunzi's skeleton back and put it in the treasure basin.

  Although Lie Yunzi has passed away, this skeleton is a genuine divine ability cultivator. Even just the skeleton itself is a treasure and might have some use.

  Then Xia Chen saw a black iron puppet standing inside the coffin.

  This puppet is about the same height as a normal person, with all facial features intact, except that its eyes are two holes that don't move.

  Xia Chen followed Yu Jian's hint, stretched out two fingers and inserted them into the puppet's eyes.

  Suddenly, a sharp pain came from the fingertips of both hands, as if something had stabbed them fiercely. Even the razor-sharp blade that couldn't hurt his fingers at all caused blood to gush out and drip into the puppet's body.

  As fresh blood continued to seep out, the puppet also started to tremble slightly, as if it was about to wake up.

  Xia Chen suddenly had a feeling of mental connection, as if the puppet was his other self, and with just a thought, he could control it at will.

  "No good, he's starting the puppet, stop him quickly!" The man in green clothes had just snatched two treasures and inadvertently caught sight of Xia Chen, his face suddenly changing greatly.

  Although I don't know how powerful that puppet is, it can make Xia Chen abandon his treasure and technique without hesitation, which shows the greatness of this treasure.

  He couldn't care about snatching other treasures anymore, his hands clapped together, and the purple-red Post-Heaven True Fire suddenly blazed up, shooting towards Xia Chen.

  Xia Chen was at a critical moment with the Blood Puppet, when he saw the man in green clothes attacking, his face turned cold, and his empty hand continuously drew out several Heaven- Splitting Sword Qi, extinguishing the Postnatal True Fire in mid-air.

  Ling Luo Tian and Zhan Ting Ting each snatched two treasures, hearing the shout of the man in green clothes, seeing Xia Chen, their faces also changed greatly.

  "Give me death!" Xuan Tingting shouted sternly. The Shattered Heart Sword transformed into a fierce sword light, stabbing fiercely towards Xia Chen.

  The sword light has yet to arrive, but the murderous intent that shatters heaven and earth and shatters the heart has already surged forth like a storm, even causing Xia Chen's hair to flutter without any wind.

  Xia Chen's expression didn't change in the slightest, but he suddenly raised his hand and shot several more Exploding Yuan Qi Pills at Zhan Tingting.

  The explosive yuanqi dan has a time limit, and Xia Chen didn't replicate many of them. Otherwise, if he scattered a large number of them out, no matter how powerful Zhan Tingting was, she wouldn't be able to withstand it.

  But even so, Xuan Tingting's eyes still showed an unbelievable color, the probability of successfully refining the Exploding Yuan Qi Pill was extremely low, how did this man have so many?

  But now there's no time to think carefully, her figure pauses in mid-air, the sword light flashes, and in an instant, nearly a hundred sword auras are cut out, slashing several Exploding Yuan Qi Pills into powder.

  Suì xīn jiàn de sù dù jí kuài, ér duì lì dào zhǎng kòng jí wéi jīng què, bà liè yuán qì dān suī rán líng lì, dàn shì jiù xiàng shì qì qiú yí yàng, rú guǒ tóng shí zài shàng mian cì chū shù bǎi gè kū lóng, yě jiù bú huì fā shēng bà pò.

  Ling Luo Tian was about to charge forward, but upon seeing this scene, a ruthless expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he took out another sword token from his bosom.

  This summer is too hard to kill, and it's impossible without using trump cards.

  Zhan Tingting and the man in green were both looking at him with great trepidation, possessing this incredibly powerful sword symbol, to a certain extent, Ling Luotian was invincible.

  Fortunately, they had joined forces from the start. Otherwise, if they were ambushed by him, the consequences would be unthinkable. The man in green and Zhang Tingting both thought so.

  "You scoundrel, you were lucky to have escaped with your life earlier, now let's see how you'll escape this time, is it that your neck is hard or my sword is too sharp!" Ling Luotian said with hatred.

  His hand shook slightly as he was about to unleash his true energy and shoot out another sword symbol!

  Suddenly, Ling Luo froze, and saw Xia Chen stretch out his empty right palm. On the center of his palm appeared two talismans, one was a fierce fire talisman, and the other was an icy cold talisman.

  "It's not just you who has a symbol." Xia Chen said calmly.

  The Frost Rune can be used at least three times without being copied, while the Flame Rune can only be used once. However, in recent days, Xia Chen has managed to copy it at least five times.

  I'm not afraid of anyone when it comes to a real showdown!

  Ling Luo's face turned iron-green, but he didn't dare move, shooting out a sword symbol. He was confident that he could kill Xia Chen, but if Xia Chen were to activate the fierce fire symbol and the ice symbol, it wouldn't just be him, probably everyone in this underground palace would die an unjust death.

  The horror of that explosion is still terrifying to recall.

  "You activate these two talismans, you will also die, I don't believe you dare!" Xuan Tingting said.

  "Then come and try it out, see if I dare or not?" Xia Chen sneered with a scornful smile.

  He has experienced this kind of situation many times before. If it really comes down to being ruthless, no one can outdo him. At worst, everyone will go down together, and he'll even drag a few scapegoats with him.

  Everyone's face turned gloomy as they stared at him, and for a moment, no one spoke.

  Time passed minute by minute, second by second. Xia Chen's left hand fingers were still inserted in the puppet's eyes, but the fresh blood at the fingertips had dried up, and the puppet was no longer absorbing it. The connection between the puppet and Xia Chen's heart was also becoming clearer and clearer.

  The man in the green robe showed a look of extreme anxiety! Although the situation was at a stalemate, it was extremely advantageous for Xia Chen. As long as he completed the Blood Drop Recognition, the consequences would be unthinkable.

  He suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, took out a gleaming jade slip, and shouted at Ling Luo Tian: "This jade slip can block any attack below the level of a divine cultivator, don't be afraid of his talismans, but it can only last for two breaths and can only be used once. You quickly release the sword talisman to kill him, otherwise let him complete the Blood Puppet, we will all have big trouble!"

  "Good!" Ling Luo Tian Zheng hadn't expected this, and upon hearing the words, he was overjoyed. He glared fiercely at Xia Chen, "You're definitely going to die today!"

  He raised the sword symbol, and his true energy was activated. A small black sword flashed out from the paper symbol, instantly shooting towards Xia Chen!

  The man in blue clothes stared at Xia Chen without blinking, and as soon as Xia Chen activated the talisman, he would immediately crush the jade slip!

  At the critical moment, Xia Chen suddenly let out a loud shout, and with his two fingers, he pulled out the puppet's eyes, completing the Blood Oath!

  That puppet's eyes lit up brightly and took a big step forward, blocking Xia Chen's path.

  This step is just right!

  Clang! The black sword flashed and instantly slashed heavily on the puppet's neck.

  As the dazzling sparks flew out, the powerful cutting force directly chopped the puppet into flight, with a loud crash, and also sent Xia Chen flying out from behind the puppet, heavily slamming against the wall of the palace.

  The power of the sword was immense, almost embedding the puppet and Xia Chen into the hard wall together, and then bringing down broken bricks and tiles.

  The sword symbol jumped vigorously, trying its best to cut off the puppet's head, but although sparks kept flying from the puppet's neck, it didn't move at all. The two iron-black large hands grasped forcefully and instantly turned the sword symbol into nothingness.

  Xia Chen's eyes were seeing stars, his whole body was in pain, and even the powerful physique of Da Jin Gang had lost its effect, as if all his bones and tendons had shattered.

  He had been injured repeatedly before, especially the first slash of the sword symbol, which made him extremely seriously injured, and it was only with the help of Dan medicine and Dajin Gangshen that he barely suppressed it.

  This blow almost brought out all the injuries he had before, and for a moment, blood gushed from his mouth, and his eyes turned black, as if he was about to faint.

  Xia Chen bit her tongue, taking advantage of the pain to clear her mind slightly, and with all her might struggled to get up, pulling out two yuan stones and stuffing them into the puppet's mouth.

  "Damn it!" Ling Luo Tian was taken aback at first, then suddenly burst into a rage!

  This sword token is like the Frost Token, it can only be used three times. Ling Luotian paid a huge price to get it and has always treasured it. Unexpectedly, using it twice on Xia Chen was all in vain, it's simply heart-wrenching.

  His eyes were bloodshot, and he saw that Xia Chen was already sitting on the ground, unable to hold back his injuries. He immediately strode over in large steps: "You good-for-nothing, you've wasted another one of my sword talismans. Today, I'll make sure you don't die a good death."
