Chapter 131 Fighting Side by Side
Further ahead, you can see the elders and leaders of various sects struggling to resist the puppets.
Their bodies were covered in blood, but their eyes shone brightly like torches.
When Xie Wanning arrived in front of the puppet, she discovered that of the original eight sect leaders, only five remained, and the sect leaders of the smaller sects had also suffered serious casualties.
Xie Wanning flew to Lin Xuanjin's side and fed him an eighth-grade recovery pill, which barely stopped his injuries.
"Master, you can't fight anymore, your injuries are too serious." Xie Wanning took out a teleportation talisman, wanting to hand it to Lin Xuanjin.
Lin Xuanjin waved his hand in refusal. His gaze never left the puppets, and his tone was very firm: "They cannot leave here. Once they clash with the disciples behind, almost none of them will survive."
Behind them were wounded disciples and healers and alchemists who were unable to fight. If any puppet escaped, those disciples would surely suffer.
Xie Wanning looked at the battlefield and saw that there were only four puppets left, but their cultivation was all at the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage, and their spiritual power had not been consumed much.
On the other hand, the sect elders and sect leader were half dead and half injured. Those who survived were either nearly exhausted of their spiritual energy or seriously injured. How could they possibly stop the puppets from advancing?
Xie Wanning picked up the Luo Ze sword and rushed over.
Thinking about it all is pointless. We just need to buy as much time as we can.
Xie Wanning was facing Elder Gao's puppet from the Yunxiao Sect. The puppet wielded a spiked club, and each strike was incredibly powerful. With the added boost of abundant spiritual energy, each attack was at the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Xie Wanning caught several attacks in succession, and her wrists were sore and aching. Was this the difference between cultivation levels?
Another blow came, and the Luoze sword in Xie Wanning's hand visibly trembled. Then, another blow came swiftly.
"Watch out!" Si Jinchuan immediately pushed Xie Wanning aside and took the hit.
"Xu Weilin, don't go forward, leave this to us!" Elder Jiang of the Yunxiao Sect said, holding a heavy hammer and immediately catching the puppet's attack.
Si Jinchuan and Elder Jiang worked together to knock the puppet backward repeatedly.
Just as Xie Wanning was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the puppet suddenly roared, its dark stripes turning deep red, and the spiked club in its hand growing larger. It then charged rapidly toward Si Jinchuan and the others.
Xie Wanning rushed forward to fight alongside Si Jinchuan and Elder Jiang, but all three were simultaneously knocked away.
"Senior Brother Gao... he's become a demon!" Elder Jiang said gravely, reaching out to shield Si Jinchuan and Xie Wanning behind him: "You two leave quickly, this place is mine!"
As he spoke, Elder Jiang suddenly rushed over, his body radiating golden light.
In the blink of an eye, golden light spread out from Elder Jiang, enveloping him and the puppet. They were both inside a large golden sphere, making them invisible to the naked eye.
"What is that?" Xie Wan Ning asked, dumbfounded.
"That's Elder Jiang's domain." Si Jinchuan gripped his broadsword tightly, his heart trembling.
A domain is a talent that cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or above may be able to activate. Only one in a thousand cultivators might possess their own domain. Previously, when Xie Wanning was chasing the puppet at the Qingyun Sect, she tried to call for help but failed because the puppet activated its own domain, concealing Xie Wanning's and her own voices and tracks—a very effective method of assassination.
The function of a domain is not limited to killing. A cultivator's domain can cultivate a medicinal garden, while a beast cultivator's domain can increase the power of spirit beasts. Different people have different domains, which are determined by their own cultivation level.
Once a domain is opened, it will completely isolate the outside world until the domain's owner is willing to open it. Otherwise, unless the domain's owner dies, no one else can open the domain.
Xie Wanning's expression also turned serious. Elder Jiang was going to fight the puppet to the death!
"Junior Sister Ye, be careful!" Song Huai'an's exclamation woke Xie Wanning up. She turned around and saw a puppet surrounded by talismans flying towards Ye Qianqian. There was another person next to Ye Qianqian, and that person was Tian Ruochun.
"Watch out!" Xie Wanning instantly used a teleportation talisman to teleport to Tian Ruochun's side and activated her defensive magic artifact.
"Boom!"
A huge explosion rang out, but none of the three people behind the defensive barrier were injured.
Song Huai'an finally flew over and saw that Xu Weilin had taken the initiative to protect Ye Qianqian and Tian Ruochun. He was filled with mixed feelings, but he still respectfully thanked her: "Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Xu."
"It's alright! How do we deal with this puppet now? Where is the leader of your sect?" Xie Wanning stared at the puppet cautiously, not daring to relax for a moment.
"Elder Qian... he sacrificed himself." Song Huai'an's voice was hoarse and low, his face showing an unprecedented sense of frustration and despair.
Xie Wanning was stunned for a moment. Was Elder Qian the inner sect elder of Qingyun Peak who always liked to joke with his disciples? Elder Qian patiently taught everyone in the Qingyun Sect the basic Qingyun Sword Technique. Xie Wanning had also received Elder Qian's teaching and praise. Elder Qian even rewarded Xie Wanning with a wooden sword because she learned sword techniques quickly and well.
Xie Wan's eyes darkened, and she murmured to herself, "I see... I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Song, I didn't mean to bring up your painful memories."
"It's alright." Song Huai'an's voice was slightly choked, but he didn't say anything more.
"And what is that puppet in front of us?"
“Fu Feng, Elder Zheng,” Tian Ruochun suddenly spoke, her voice tinged with sadness, “My aunt.”
Xie Wanning gently patted Tian Ruochun's back, her thoughts returning to the time at Qingyun Sect.
Tian Ruochun often talked about Fufeng with Xie Wanning, and Elder Zheng was definitely a frequent topic of conversation. Compared to the busy Fufeng Peak Master, Elder Zheng interacted more with his disciples, and the disciples often sought Elder Zheng's help to resolve their doubts.
The timekeeping talisman that Tian Ruochun gave Xie Wanning was initially difficult to hear because Xie Wanning often missed the time. So Tian Ruochun painstakingly studied it and, after exchanging ideas with Elder Zheng, was able to improve the talisman so that it would turn into a paper figure and tap the forehead of the person being reminded at regular intervals.
Tian Ruochun had praised Elder Zheng many times for this matter. And not just this one, but many more. Elder Zheng was a kind and patient senior who guided Tian Ruochun further and further down the path of talisman cultivation, but now he had become an emotionless puppet.
"Fellow Daoist Tian..."
Looking at Tian Ruochun, who appeared cold and indifferent on the surface but whose eyes held deep longing and sorrow, Xie Wanning suddenly realized that the suffering Tian Ruochun had endured during the two years she was away was not only due to the ridicule of the sect disciples, but also the departure of her senior.
"We can't let Elder Zheng suffer any longer. She definitely wouldn't want to see this!" Xie Wanning's voice was loud as she picked up her sword and charged towards the puppet.
Elder Zheng certainly didn't want to harm the disciple he had trained, so Xie Wan Ning had no choice but to play the "bad guy".
"Ice!"
In an instant, more than a dozen ice spikes appeared around Xie Wanning, piercing straight towards the puppet.
The puppet quickly dodged, but unexpectedly the ice spike turned and pierced her directly, quickly forming frost on her body.
The puppet's right hand was frozen, so she struggled to use her left hand to unleash more than a dozen Rank 8 explosive talismans.
"I'm here to help you!" Tian Ruochun suddenly appeared beside Xie Wanning, quickly casting out a talisman.
Amidst the explosions, Xie Wanning turned to look at Tian Ruochun.
Tian Ruochun's eyes were filled with determination and reluctance, but her hands did not stop moving, and the talisman flew towards the puppet like a bird.
Xie Wanning gripped the Luoze Sword tightly and charged towards the puppet, ready to fight alongside Tian Ruochun once again!
