CHAPTER 494: CHAPTER 263: NEW USES FOR PUPPETS_2

Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao looked at the three puppet mechanism beasts, unsure of what Li Yunjing meant.

"I have refined four Tier Two Low Grade Puppet Mechanism Beasts. Each of you can have one. In critical moments, they can be used to take your place in danger."

Li Yunjing smiled at the three of them, explaining how to use them, and recounted how he used the puppet mechanism beasts to escape a Tier Three Demon King in the Transverse Mountain Range.

"Good! I’ll take it!"

After listening to Li Yunjing’s explanation, Fu Chao understood how to use these things immediately.

This is really a good thing!

Imagine, in a situation where death is certain, releasing a Tier Two Puppet Mechanism Beast is equivalent to having a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator sacrifice themselves to save you.

This thing is extremely useful!

"By the way! Yunjing, has your puppetry cultivation reached Tier Two?"

After accepting the puppet mechanism beast, Yu Yunyi couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"Of course! Currently, my Alchemy, Artifact Refining Technique, Puppetry, and Talisman Making Technique have all reached Tier Two. Only Array Dao is lagging because I haven’t had the time to study it."

Since they were among friends, Li Yunjing didn’t hold back and openly shared his achievements in the five vice positions.

"I’m dizzy! Are you even human?"

Hearing this, Fu Chao staggered a bit and nearly fell to the ground.

Even Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi gave Li Yunjing a deep look as if trying to see through why he was so powerful!

The five vice positions are the top five skills in the cultivation arts.

Mastering any one of them would make one an esteemed figure in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, admired and flattered by countless cultivators.

Li Yunjing had elevated four of these vice positions to Tier Two at once; this was simply inhuman!

If the elders of the sect knew about Li Yunjing’s achievements, many would fight to take him as a disciple and nurture him with all their might.

In fact, what Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao didn’t know was that Li Yunjing had already caught the attention of big figures. The Palace Master Qin of the Seven Star Palace and a Supreme Elder of the Shenxiao Dao Sect personally resolved his subsequent troubles and began testing his abilities.

An untrained Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator being directly placed in the most dangerous border battlefield showed just how high their expectations for Li Yunjing were.

As for others trying to poach him?

The Palace Master Qin of the Seven Star Palace would be the first to refuse!

Li Yunjing’s life belonged to the Seven Star Palace; in death, he would be a ghost of the Seven Star Palace.

"Heh heh! Of course I’m human! If not human, would I be an immortal?"

Li Yunjing joked, then said, "Let’s go! Check out! Let’s go out and make the world bright again!"

Leaving the City of Glory, exiting the South City Gate, many others were also heading south along the official road.

Obviously, many people had the same idea as Li Yunjing and his friends—hiding in the city for a few days before leaving the City of Glory to return home.

On the road, some people tried to strike up a conversation, suggesting they travel back south together.

However, those people were not experts, and since their backgrounds were unknown, who would be willing to team up with outsiders?

Without any surprises, Fu Chao ridiculed those who approached, making them look sullen and stay far away from him.

On the road, the speed of various groups varied. Li Yunjing and his companions sped up, using divine techniques like Shrinking Earth into Inches, constantly flashing forward, leaving many groups behind.

During his previous visit via teleportation array, Li Yunjing hadn’t seen the scenery of the Northern Border.

After leaving the City of Glory and traveling a hundred miles, they encountered a desert. This desolate land was filled with yellow sand.

Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao each used magic to form a protective shield around themselves, allowing them to move through the desert.

In the desert, human presence was rare. Poisonous insects and wild beasts often emerged from the sand to attack travelers and caravans. Li Yunjing and his companions also encountered scorpions and sandworms in the desert.

These poisonous creatures could kill ordinary people with a single bite.

But in front of Li Yunjing and his companions, these poisonous insects were no different from ordinary mosquitoes. Their Protective Immortal Light would shake, and many poisonous insects would fall to the ground, killed by the mana shock.

"Jie jie jie! People from Shenxiao Dao Sect! Hand over your valuables, and we’ll spare your lives. Otherwise, you will die immediately!"

Just after Li Yunjing and his companions had dealt with thousands of poisonous insects, a group of cultivators shot out from the yellow sand.

These cultivators wore a mix of attire, obviously not belonging to a single faction.

A total of eighteen Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators surrounded Li Yunjing, Lv Ruoxi, Yu Yunyi, and Fu Chao from all directions. Each held various spiritual artifacts, glaring at Li Yunjing and his companions.

"Which sect are you from?"

Li Yunjing looked coldly at the group and asked, "In the Great Ming Dynasty, you dare to surround and kill the disciples of the Shenxiao Dao Sect. Aren’t you afraid of being exterminated?"

"Heh heh! Kid! The Shenxiao Dao Sect is powerful, but how much mana and skill do you novices have? In this boundless desert, killing you and tossing your bodies into the sand will leave no trace. What can the Shenxiao Dao Sect possibly do to us?"

The bearded man leading the group laughed.

"Ha ha ha!"

"Kill the men! Capture the women alive!"

"I’ve never played with such beautiful female cultivators before. I must have a good time!"

"Jie jie jie! Kill them!"

...

The group of tribulation cultivators laughed wantonly.

"Courting death! Kill!"

Seeing these tribulation cultivators insulting his women, Li Yunjing was furious. With a flash of cyan light in his hand, the Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword appeared, its fierce sword qi surging around.

"Kill!"

After Li Yunjing moved, Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi also looked grim, their killing intent rising.

Each woman revealed a top-grade spiritual flying sword in her hand, slashing towards the surrounding tribulation cultivators.

"Heh heh! A bunch of fools!"

Fu Chao also sneered continuously. His body exuded layers of treasure light, and with a swing of his fiery red spirit sword, a fire dragon lashed out.

This fire dragon coiled in the air and then rushed towards a tribulation cultivator!

"Kill them!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing and his companions had started fighting, these tribulation cultivators also became excited and charged at them.

Being able to ambush the elite of the Shenxiao Dao Sect was an extremely satisfying achievement.

However, as they charged forward, they quickly realized something was wrong after only two or three moves.

"Ah ah ah..."

Amidst a few screams, several tribulation cultivators were cut into pieces by the fierce spiritual flying swords.

When the cultivation level is similar, top-grade spiritual artifacts are invincible, immediately severing the opponent’s flying sword and, amidst their panic, slicing through their bodies!

At this point, four or five people were already dead or wounded, leaving the remaining ten or so with horrified expressions.

"You have the foulest mouth! Let’s see how you die now!"

After the Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword had slain two enemies, Li Yunjing targeted another annoying foe. Charging straight at him, the man’s shield was just raised when the Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword slashed it in half with a "crack"!

On the man’s face hidden behind the shield was a look of panic. Just as he was about to beg for mercy, the Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword continued its strike, splitting his head and body into two with a "whizz"!

At the same time, screams echoed around as the remaining tribulation cultivators were slain. The highest among them was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm Fourth Heaven and not from any significant sect.
