Chapter 318, Army of Puppets

*Boom!* As Qin Yichen moved, fierce winds arose in this space – this phenomenon was likely triggered by his Spiritual Energy that permeated the area.

 

Before him, dense Yuan Energy also gathered rapidly, finally forming into a giant Yuan Energy fist. Above that fist, streaks of lightning flickered, appearing quite terrifying.

 

“Go!” Qin Yichen softly muttered, and the giant fist made of Yuang Energy before him howled forth, violently crashing towards that forest of swords.

 

*Bang!* When the two forces collided, even the earth seemed to tremble.

 

These two attacks did not explode immediately upon contact, but instead eroded each other away, as if each trying to pierce through the other. However, in this erosion, Li Aofeng’s sharp swords clearly held the upper hand.

 

“How, how is he doing this!?” Although Li Aofeng’s swords clearly held the advantage, there was still shock in Xia Zuling’s beautiful eyes. After all, even she might not be able to block this attack without using her Martial Soul!

 

Finally, in one instant, that giant fist was pierced by the wave-like swords.

 

*Boom!* Following a thunderous explosion, violent Yuan Energy raged outward, carving grooves into the solid ground. Though it had torn apart Qin Yichen’s attack, those originally incomparably sharp swords now also appeared much dimmer.

 

However, what surprised Xia Zuling was that Qin Yichen seemed to have consumed too much energy concentrating on that previous attack – facing these swords, he actually did not manage to dodge in time!

 

*Ping!* As the first sword struck, those wave-like swords frantically bombarded Qin Yichen and his surroundings.

 

*Bang! Bang!* Even the remnant waves of a Martial King’s attack blasted dust from the iron-hard ground.

 

“Know your limits!” Looking at the figure engulfed by dust, a mocking look flashed in Li Aofeng’s eyes.

 

“Princess, shall I send you on your way, or will you choose for yourself?” Li Aofeng’s gaze turned to Xia Zuling. He was fully confident in his attack. Even though Qin Yichen had become a Human Grade Alchemy Master, his Martial Arts cultivation level was still only at the Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm. Even the remnant waves of his attack would be enough to kill a Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm expert ten times over.

 

“Ridiculous!” Just as Xia Zuling bit her red lips, preparing to fight to the death, a contemptuous laugh suddenly rang out.

 

“Hmm?!” Hearing this familiar voice, Li Aofeng’s body trembled, his eyes looking somewhat incredulously towards his opponent.

 

The others also turned their gazes in that direction.

 

As the dust gradually dispersed, what was behind it got exposed. The iron-hard ground was uneven, showing just how fierce Li Aofeng’s previous attack had been. However, what was more shocking was that in the centre of that uneven ground, a figure stood tall!

 

At this moment, Qin Yichen appeared somewhat disheveled, his hair messy and torn clothing revealing firm skin beneath, but his steady breathing told everyone that not only was he not dead, but the previous attack had not even seriously injured him!

 

“How… how is this possible!?”

 

Li Aofeng’s expression changed. He could not understand how Qin Yichen could have been left  unharmed after his full-force attack.

 

Though he knew Qin Yichen’s Physique had some unusual aspects to it, he had no idea that Qin Yichen was very different from ordinary cultivators.

 

Ordinary cultivators cared most about their cultivation realm, but while Qin Yichen improved his cultvaiton realm, his Physique had become so powerful it left Demonic Beasts of the same level far behind!

 

The terrifying Physique tempered by Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones and Flame Orbs finally revealed its extraordinary nature.

 

“That bastard!” Anger flashed in Li Aofeng’s eyes as even he realised how troublesome this Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm youth was.

 

“Li Aofeng, hurry and use whatever Martial Techniques you have.” Brushing the dust from his robes, Qin Yichen spoke very calmly.

 

Hearing Qin Yichen’s arrogant words, the dark look in Li Aofeng’s eyes grew deeper, and a cold voice slowly emerged from his mouth. “So eager to die, huh? Don’t worry, I’ll break your bones one by one before letting you die!”

 

When Li Aofeng’s words fell, there was a wave of Yuan Energy behind him.  Clearly, he was about to use his Martial Soul!

 

For someone at the Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm to force Li Aofeng to use his Martial Soul,  if news of this spreads, Qin Yichen could eteratlised in history.

 

*Rumble!* Suddenly, a muffled sound accompanied by violent earth tremors came from the distance. Qin Yichen and the others were startled, then turned to look into the distance.

 

This sound also made Li Aofeng pause his movements. He turned his head slightly, and when he saw the scene in the distance, his pupils could not help but contract.

 

Far away, dust billowed, and within it seemed to be dazzling metallic gleams. As it came closer, everyone could see that within the dust were countless dense figures, and those metallic gleams came from these figures.

 

“Twilight Puppets!”

 

Seeing those metallic figures, Xia Zuling’s beautiful face changed as she cried out. Li Aofeng’s trio and Lin Tianhui’s expressions also became extremely ugly.

 

Only Qin Yichen wore a confused expression, as if completely unaware of what was happening.

 

*Thud! Thud!* As those dense figures came closer, Qin Yichen finally noticed that these things were all metal puppets – looking out, there were at least several hundred puppets!

 

What surprised him even more was that these puppets’ speed was not at all slower than ordinary Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm experts!

 

“If these puppets all have the strength of Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm experts…”

 

Suddenly, a terrifying thought flashed through Qin Yichen’s mind, and thinking of it, he could not help but nervously swallow.

 

If these puppets all possessed this level of strength, even combining the power of all six of them would not be able to resist!

 

“Young Master Li!”

 

Shi Ziang frowned, looking at Li Aofeng.

 

“Damn it, wasn’t there supposed to be three days? Why did the Spirit Puppets activate on the second day!?”

 

Li Aofeng’s expression was very dark. He very much wanted to kill Qin Yichen on the spot, but he also clearly knew that killing Qin Yichen would definitely take some effort. Right now, there was no time.

 

“Kid, if you’ve got the guts, don’t crush your Life Token to escape!” Finally, Li Aofeng gritted his teeth and roared at Qin Yichen. Soon, he fled in one direction, with Shi Ziang and Fung Tianhua following without any hesitation, closely behind Li Aofeng.

 

They even seemed to be wary of something, not daring to fly away…
