Chapter 132 Long time no see
Song Huai'an and Ye Qianqian also rushed up quickly, brandishing their swords and charging towards the puppet.
Suddenly, the puppet disappeared.
Before the three could react, they saw that there were more than a dozen Grade 8 lightning talismans left where the puppet had been.
Hundreds of lightning bolts struck down in the blink of an eye. Xie Wanning, Song Huai'an, and Ye Qianqian, who were within the range of the lightning, were all struck by the lightning. Unable to withstand it, they all fell into the Black Sea.
Xie Wanning struggled fiercely, her mouth and nose filled with a large amount of seawater. The salty and astringent taste spread throughout her mouth, making Xie Wanning's mind go blank.
She tried to swim to the surface, but found that her right foot was numb from the lightning and she couldn't move it at all.
"Grrrrrr!"
She reached out, but couldn't grasp anything; her grip on the Luo Ze sword grew increasingly weak.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed Xie Wanning, and she was pulled up by a force.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, how are you?" Xie Wanning was pulled onto the flying artifact, and Tian Ruochun's slightly worried voice rang in her ear.
Xie Wanning covered her neck and spat out a mouthful of seawater.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
She was only able to speak after a violent coughing fit.
"I'm fine, cough cough!"
Who would have thought that seawater would taste so bad and be so choking!
Tian Ruochun gently patted Xie Wanning's back, and after Xie Wanning finished vomiting the remaining seawater, she said, "Senior Brother Song left with the unconscious Junior Sister Ye. Fellow Daoist Xu, now it's just the two of us left."
Xie Wanning noticed the worry in Tian Ruochun's eyes.
The remaining cultivators who are still capable of fighting are battling the other three puppets, while Elder Zheng, the puppet, can only be held off by Xie Wanning and Tian Ruochun.
"I'm fine now. Let's go stop Elder Zheng."
Xie Wanning drew her sword and flew towards the puppet, saying angrily, "Since you almost made me drown, let me let you taste that feeling too."
After saying that, Xie Wanning took out seven Grade 8 Water Dragon Talismans and threw them all into the Black Sea.
Seven menacing water dragons appeared and spewed rapid jets of water at the puppet.
The puppet took out an ice-freezing talisman, and the seven water pillars instantly turned into ice pillars.
Xie Wanning swung the Luoze Sword, slicing through dozens of ice blades, and shouted, "Break the ice!"
The icicles instantly transformed into countless ice blades, which rained down on the puppet like a giant fishing net, giving it no chance to escape.
The puppet took out an explosive talisman and was about to throw it at the ice blade when it was extinguished by more than a dozen seventh-grade rainstorm talismans. Tian Ruochun stared intently at the puppet, biting her lip, her eyes filled with deep pain.
The ice blade pierced through the puppet's body in an instant, tearing her to pieces before she fell into the sea, creating a huge splash.
Xie Wanning looked at Tian Ruochun, whose body was trembling slightly, and stepped forward to give her a hug: "It's okay, it's all over."
Feeling the warmth emanating from Xie Wanning, Tian Ruochun unconsciously felt a rare sense of peace.
Suddenly, a figure rushed towards them like lightning, making it impossible to see her clearly.
Xie Wanning and Tian Ruochun had no time to dodge.
"Clang!" Countless steel needles were blocked outside the protective shield. The sudden attack triggered the defensive magic artifact on Xie Wanning's body, which allowed her to withstand the blow.
Outside the protective shield were puppets covered in red stripes.
Didn't she fall into the sea? How did she come back to life?!
The puppet screamed hoarsely, and in an instant, a huge golden light spread around it, enveloping Xie Wanning and Tian Ruochun in its domain.
Upon entering the puppet's domain, Xie Wanning and Tian Ruochun were covered in talismans. With a snap of their fingers, all the talismans exploded rapidly.
The five defensive magical artifacts on Xie Wanning's body worked, barely managing to block the attack and protect her and Tian Ruochun.
Unfortunately, the ninth-grade magical artifacts could not withstand the intense attack and were all damaged and could no longer be used.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, you must be careful. Within this domain, the effects of all of Elder Zheng's talismans will be greatly amplified, making them even more difficult to deal with than before," Tian Ruochun warned.
"Yes, I understand." The Luo Ze sword in Xie Wan Ning's hand suddenly flew out and automatically flew towards a figure.
"My sword can help us disrupt the puppet. Fellow Daoist Tian, let's find an opportunity to attack." With that, Xie Wanning leaped up, holding talismans and magical artifacts, and threw them at the figure being tracked by Luo Ze's sword.
The puppet was overwhelmed by the ice blades of Luo Ze's sword. Looking down, it saw Xie Wan Ning's eighth-grade explosive talisman and lightning talisman coming towards it, while Xie Wan Ning's crossbow fired ten arrows in quick succession, which flew straight towards the puppet.
The puppet used an invisibility talisman and a teleportation talisman to quickly appear behind Tian Ruochun.
Unexpectedly, Tian Ruochun seemed to sense something and threw ten seventh-grade freezing talismans and ten seventh-grade vine talismans backward, instantly freezing the puppet in place.
"Catch them off guard. This move was taught to me by you, my aunt, and I'll never forget it!" Tian Ruochun took out fifteen explosive talismans and struck the puppet with them. Meanwhile, Xie Wanning's ten Rank 8 lightning talismans flew rapidly toward the puppet. Before the puppet could retaliate, hundreds of ice spikes from Xie Wanning pierced its body, while the sword blade severed both of the puppet's arms.
Xie Wanning landed on the ground, panting heavily. The series of attacks she had just unleashed had truly depleted her spiritual energy, and she was finding it difficult to keep up.
When she saw the puppet finally subdued, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Fellow Daoist Tian, she can't escape now."
Tian Ruochun stood there dumbfounded, glanced at the puppet with a complicated expression, and sighed, "She is not Elder Zheng. Elder Zheng would not be such a monster who only knows how to kill."
The puppet in front of them opened its mouth wide, tearing at the air, waving its blood-sucking, mangled arm, and screaming in Tian Ruochun's direction.
Tian Ruochun took out all the remaining attack talismans from her storage bag and threw them all at the puppet. Her tone was full of grief: "Let me send her on her final journey!"
Xie Wanning walked away silently, watching Tian Ruochun forcefully wave her hands, activating her spiritual power to control all the talismans to explode together, and the puppet instantly turned to ashes.
Tian Ruochun slumped to the ground, her eyes gloomy.
She killed her mentor with her own hands; she was not a good disciple.
The Luo Ze sword flew back into Xie Wan Ning's hand, trembling slightly, like a puppy wagging its tail, ready to receive praise.
Xie Wanning, however, paid no attention to any of this. She looked at Tian Ruochun with sorrow in her eyes, wanting to go forward and comfort her but not knowing what to say.
Suddenly, the Luo Ze sword trembled violently.
"careful!"
Xie Wanning saw hundreds of ice spikes mixed with fire flying towards Tian Ruochun's back, while Tian Ruochun just looked up in confusion.
That's too late!
Xie Wanning didn't even have time to take out a teleportation talisman; the ice spike was about to pierce Tian Ruochun's body.
She gritted her teeth and swung her sword with incredible speed.
The next instant, Xie Wanning appeared behind Tian Ruochun, spreading her arms to block the attack.
This triggered Xie Wanning's ninth-grade defensive shield, blocking all attacks outside the shield.
"The eighth form of the Qingyun Sword Technique? Who...who exactly are you?" Tian Ruochun was a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, so he naturally recognized that Xu Weilin's move just now was the eighth form of the Qingyun Sword Technique, "Sword Light and Shadow," which involved transforming himself into a sword blade.
Xie Wanning's heart tightened, but she smiled with relief: "Long time no see! Xiao Tian!"
