Chapter 187   Victory!

Black masses of lights gathered on those Soul Puppets’ hands. Having been refined with special methods, as long as they summoned anima energy, all the anima energy of the heaven and the earth would rush to their hands like crazy.

Hua Qiyue and others all changed face instantly. It turned out that Soul Puppets were really strong. If the Venerated Supreme Devil they were about to handle had 10 Soul Puppets, then those puppets would only be more capable.

“Retreat!” Yun Shimo shouted and everyone stepped back to somewhere more than three meters away. Seeing their reactions, Chou Tianhen laughed out loud.

Hua Qiyue still hadn’t recovered her anima energy. Moreover, these Soul puppets had absorbed a large quantity of anima energy around here, thus it wasn’t easy for her to recover so soon.

Now, she could only have Yun Shimo and others hold off the puppets. Then, when she fully regained her anima energy, she would unleash the Spirit Summoning Art!

This was her plan. While the Venerated Supreme Devil stayed indoors for practice, she would first finish the deputy leader and these 10 Soul Puppets. Moreover, she could gain insight into the puppets.

Now, she finally understood the power of these Soul Puppets. It was no wonder that Gnawing Devils Sect had laid low. Did they want to refine these puppets to be stronger to unify the world?

The audience held their breaths at the sight of this because they had all felt intense pressure from the masses of lights on the Soul Puppet’s hands.

Yun Shimo did not look quite well because he saw that if these Soul Puppets rushed out of the array, their alliance wouldn’t block them successfully.

“Quickly, attack now and kill Chou Tianhen!”

In the middle of those Soul Puppets gathering anima energy, Yun Shimo decisively commanded.

Ouyang Youche shot a worried look at Hua Qiyue, who stood beside him pale-faced. However, he failed to detect any emotion on her face.

At the same time, Ji Feng also stopped worrying about Hua Qiyue and released his lethal skill on his own.

The hare only lay on Yun Shimo’s shoulder quietly. It didn’t want to get involved in the calamity of its descendants. After all, it was a test for Yun Shimo and his companions as well.

It would only strike at very critical moments.

“Heart of Fire—”

“Imprint of Mountain and River—”

“Palm to Split the Sky—

“...”

Everyone released their lethal skill, some of which were taught by Hua Qiyue, and others their own sects’. All charged to Chou Tianhen in unison!

Seeing this, Chou Tianhen changed his expression and shouted out loud. “Quickly, stop them!”

Then, the light masses in the hands of the 10 Soul Puppets broke away to charge against the air masses created by them releasing lethal skills.

“Boom, boom, boom—”

The earth shook, and dust permeated the air. Holes appeared in the grassland after exploding, and people in the array were all coughing up blood.

After all, the overwhelming power from the clash of those strong masses left them painful. Moreover, the Ruin Universe Tactical Deployment array started to work, emitting intense lights all over the place. Like millions of swords, the lights pressed against them, carrying intense killing intents.

“Damn! Protect the leader!” Those dangerous lights caused by the array were about to fall on them, however, in need of a large amount of anima energy, Soul Puppets couldn’t break the array right away.

Thus, Chou Tianhen had to order the 10 puppets to protect himself.

Facing such overwhelming momentum, the Gnawing Devils Sect seniors and disciples all flustered. “Deputy leader, how could you do this? We’ve joined the sect a long time ago!”

While resisting the array’s force, one of the seniors bitterly shouted.

“He’s right. The deputy leader should protect the seniors. Chou Tianhen, you’ve crossed the line!”

Some other seniors also cherished their lives and eagerly followed.

“Deputy leader, please save us. We don’t want to die now!”

At the same time, those young disciples also screamed in terror. At the first place, they could rely on the 10 puppets. Nevertheless, if the puppets now protected Chou Tianhen alone, the younger disciples would see the end of their lives for sure!

It was not easy to break an ancient array!

According to the rule, the Ruin Universe Tactical Deployment array was 10 times stronger than the targets it trapped; thus, they couldn’t break the array even with powerful Soul Puppets.

That being said, Hua Qiyue was still worried. After all, the Venerated Supreme Devil had been refining those puppets for several decades. Given a longer time, they might destroy her array. Moreover, once they broke out of the array, then...

Looking grim, Hua Qiyue watched what was happening right now—The array’s murderous lights had killed most of the seniors and young disciples. They wailed like beasts, while Chou Tianhen stayed relatively safe under the protection of 10 Soul Puppets.

While suffering from the murderous lights, the seniors all cursed Chou Tianhen and then all perished in the end.

Those young disciples howled and fell one by one.

At last, only 10 Soul Puppets were still protecting Chou Tianhen. They were bullet-proof and owned immense spiritual energy. Nevertheless, if the battle dragged, they wouldn’t be so strong as they run out of spiritual energy.

Hua Qiyue’s eyes lit up. “When we fight the Venerated Supreme Devil, we’ll make the battle drag.”

Yun Shimo frowned after he found that he didn’t have a chance to get near Chou Tianhen as Soul Puppets were protecting him. Then, he immediately performed a lethal skill to attack Chou Tianhen’s soul.

“Annihilation—Shake the Soul!”

Yun Shimo snarled. Rising up from his palm, a lump of blue lights charged to Chou Tianhen, who was now circled by Soul Puppets!

Chou Tianhen was startled because the mass of blue lights shook his soul and therefore weakened the Soul Puppets’ actions and spiritual energy.

When the blue lights approached, they spread instantly and every light could burn Chou Tianhen, and thus his soul was even shaking.

“Arghhh...”

He screamed because he didn’t expect his enemy could launch such a powerful attack. After all, it was a blow at his very level but turned out to be so overwhelming!

Chou Tianhen felt his soul puff and it seemed to be going to break. His entire body ached so he rashly gathered all of his spiritual energy to ward off those blue lights.

“The second style of Annihilation—Break the Soul!”

Yun Shimo’s ruthless voice kept sounding, as Chou Tianhen shouted to spread all his anima energy to block those lights rushing against him!

Yun Shimo’s face paled so much because as he launched his second lethal skill, he almost ran out of spiritual energy. He had expected that he would finish Chou Tianhen with this second blow.

“Quickly, right now, kill!” The handsome Ji Feng looked resolute and performed the Heart of Fire. The anima energy emitted from his palm transformed into an inferno and charged against Chou Tianhen!

Everyone also released their best hit and every move came with immense killing intent.

“Arghhhh—” Chou Tianhen howled and his entire body split under the numerous attacks.

But for Yun Shimo’s two blows that greatly inflicted his soul, he wouldn’t have fallen so easily.

The 10 Soul Puppets stood there lifelessly after they lost the master.

“Brother Yun, are you OK?” Looking at Yun Shimo’s pale face and the blood that oozed out from his mouth, Ouyang Youche had to ask in a low voice.

“I’m OK. They’re just bruises.”

Yun Shimo answered flatly and subconsciously twisted to face Hua Qiyue, who was talking with Ji Feng with her eyebrows knitted.

She did not notice him, which made Yun Shimo’s heart sank and filled with frustration.

Yun Shimo fished out two Qi-gathering Pills, taking one himself and giving another one to Hua Qiyue.

All the other Qi Artists had one because Yun Shimo had given them when they set off. Hua Qiyue was the only one who declined his offer.

“Take one. You’ll feel better.” Staring at Hua Qiyue’s gorgeous but pale face, Yun Shimo whispered.

“No, thank you for your kindness, but I can still hang on. And it’s also rich in anima energy here, I’ll be okay again.”

Yun Shimo’s eyes fell.

Huangfu Xuan snorted beside them. “Since Your Highness has a princess, you should take good care of her!”

At the first place, they were good friends. However, because of the rumor about Yun Shimo and Princess Qianyang, Huangfu Xuan graduated alienated Yun Shimo.

Yun Shimo’s hand paused in the air and then had to slowly retract the Qi-gathering Pill she refused.

His face looked much more florid now, however, his vigor seemed to be drained out.

“It’s a shame that I don’t know how to train those 10 Soul Puppets.” Hua Qiyue observed those lifeless Soul Puppets in the array, her brows knitted. Now, the puppets were either alive or dead, but they were still more capable than a Qi Artist at the medium level of Moon Eclipse.

“If we can own these 10 puppets, we can train them to deal with those future 10 Soul Puppets.” A fit of delight betrayed Ouyang Youche’s gorgeous face.

“But how?” Ji Jing widened her eyes in astonishment. Like the other Qi Artists, she had been safe and just stood there to watch Yun Shimo and others killing Chou Tianhen.

Nevertheless, everyone agreed that if the opponent had been the Venerated Supreme Devil, everything wouldn’t have been that easy.

After all, Qi Artists at the great completeness of Round Sun were scarce on the continent. If he owned 10 more Soul Puppets, he could only be more powerful. In that case, they feared that maybe ancient arrays such as Killing Array wouldn’t hold them off.

“Yes, that is quite a problem. I don’t know how to make them listen to a new master.” Ji Feng said, looking awkwardly.

This was a task that was harder than climbing up to the sky, and it had baffled everyone.

Suddenly, Hua Qiyue thought of Tianpi.

Therefore, she took a few steps back and sat down. Then, she said to Ji Jing beside her. “Sister, I’ll take a rest, and don’t let anyone disturb me.”

“Yes.”

Standing quietly by the side, Ji Jing thought Hua Qiyue was feeling uncomfortable and wanted to ask her. However, Ji Jing readily shook her head. Thus, he realized and stepped back.

Everyone fell silent because the 10 Soul Puppets were not ordinary ones. If they wanted to own the puppets, they had to find a way. Moreover, if they used the wrong method, on the contrary, they might lose their own lives under the puppets’ attack!

Hua Qiyue entered the Mysterious World and found Tianpi.

At this time, Tianpi was taking a bath in the pool idly. Seeing Hua Qiyue, he lazily blinked. A gentle smile spread across his breathtakingly beautiful face.

No matter who saw him, they would only take Tianpi as a pretty man, not some demon at all.

When Hua Qiyue thought of Tianpi’s real identity, she didn’t keep her guard up. She only felt confused because she wanted to know why she felt so familiar with this Tianpi in front of her.

“Master, excuse me.” However, Hua Qiyue still adopted a respectful manner toward Tianpi.

“You’re here to ask about Soul Puppet, right?” Tianpi slightly lifted his chin, his black hair scattered in the water. Now, he looked more mysterious and handsome.

“Yes, master. Can you tell me how to train those puppets as my own?” Hua Qiyue asked eagerly.
