Li Chengfeng sneered inwardly, "Even if Fang Rui Chu has secret techniques, it would be difficult for her to cultivate to my level.
Controlling so many puppets requires cultivating the Soul Severing Art, Blood Shadow Technique, and even the Substitute Puppet Technique, all of which are indispensable."
Meng Biao asked doubtfully, "Then what benefits can this bring to my Soul Devouring Sect?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengfeng's lips curled into a smile: "The benefits to the Soul Devouring Sect are naturally numerous. The treasures on Xu Hui Xin belong to your Soul Devouring Sect, not to mention her corpse will also be handed over to you."
A silver bell-like laughter echoed in the air.
Seeing that everyone had gained something, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but feel doubtful: "Then wouldn't I, Liu Ruyan, be working in vain?"
"If Fairy Liu has any questions, feel free to ask," Li Chengfeng said with a smile.
Liu Ruyan's originally furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and her face bloomed into a flower-like smile, charming and alluring: "If I can help you obtain the Nine Desires Celestial Bloom, would you be willing to spend time with me in dual cultivation? What do you think?"
A hint of slyness flashed in her eyes, as if she had already planned out all the possibilities of the future.
Liu Ruyan's words surprised Li Chengfeng quite a bit. He mused, "You from the Joyful Union Sect are indeed open and straightforward, viewing matters of love between men and women so lightly. Even if we are together, it would only be mutual exploitation, devoid of love."
Li Chengfeng needed everyone to work together at this moment, so he nodded in agreement: "As long as the Nine Desires Celestial Bloom is in hand, what harm is there in dual cultivation with you?"
Xu Huixin, upon hearing this, scoffed: "Shameless! Li Chengfeng, how can you be so brazen?"
She said indignantly, "You joined forces to besiege me alone, truly despicable to the extreme!"
Faced with Xu Huixin's accusations, Li Chengfeng did not take it to heart. He said calmly, "We all come from the Demonic Path and should work together.
You righteous people want to stir up trouble in my Demonic Path, even trying to wipe us out in one fell swoop, simply wishful thinking."
As soon as these words came out, Fang Ruichu and other disciples of the Demonic Sect expressed their agreement.
With the addition of Li Chengfeng's puppets, the battle situation instantly reversed.
Despite the enemies being incredibly powerful, they were still retreating under the dense firepower.
Li Chengfeng lost more than a dozen puppets, but he didn't care at all. After all, these were just cannon fodder, and even if they were all scrapped, he wouldn't feel any pain.
Xu Huixin was furious, the originally favorable situation reversed due to Li Chengfeng's addition.
As the disciples of the Corpse Refinement Sect fell one by one, those powerful bronze corpses, although their bodies were comparable to magical artifacts, seemed vulnerable under the dense attacks of the Demonic Path crowd.
Shi Kai was exceptionally brave. As a bronze corpse, he directly charged towards Li Chengfeng's puppets, shouting angrily: "Li Chengfeng, I will definitely take your life today! How dare you plot against my beloved!"
Li Chengfeng chuckled and responded: "You are truly a lovesick fool, willing to throw yourself into the Demonic Path for Xu Huixin.
Although I don't know your plan, I finally understand today that you are not only after the Nine Desires Celestial Bloom, but also want to destroy this place, so that our Demonic Path has no possibility of development.
The Demonic Path and the Righteous Path are irreconcilable, and you righteous people have always harbored evil intentions."
As soon as Li Chengfeng said this, the surrounding Demonic Path disciples were all filled with anger.
They knew very well that if the Righteous Path gained power, the Demonic Path would have no place to stand.
This was not only cutting off their financial path, but also a major event concerning the life and death of the Demonic Path.
Shi Kai scoffed and said coldly to Li Chengfeng: "Today, no matter how you argue, you will not escape death.
Your existence has completely ruined my plan. Originally, these demonic creatures should have been easily wiped out, and even if they couldn't be completely annihilated, they could have been fragmented.
However, because of you, they have retained most of their strength. Therefore, you must die."
The corner of Li Chengfeng's puppet's mouth curled into a sneer, and he responded: "Shi Kai, if you really have the ability, then come and face me head-on, why bother with empty words?"
The two factions were originally enemies, so battle was inevitable.
Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet stood guard, and with a wave of his hand, those flying puppets pounced out like a storm. These aerial puppets mostly soared in bird form, some spitting flames, some throwing fireballs, forming a spectacular battle scene.
This was precisely Li Chengfeng's uniqueness. His puppet army was not only flexible and varied, but also launched a three-dimensional attack from the sky, earth, and human aspects, instantly plunging Shi Kai into a frenzied attack.
Shi Kai held a coffin in his hand, and a pitch-black nail appeared in his left hand, the blood on it seemed to have solidified, emitting a faint purple glow.
He threw it out violently, shouting sharply: "Li Chengfeng, taste the power of my Nether Soul Nail! This nail was originally prepared to deal with stronger enemies, today, I will use it to kill you!"
The nail tore through the air, carrying all his strength, vitality, and soul, heading straight for Li Chengfeng.
At the last moment of his life, Shi Kai looked at his beloved woman Xu Huixin, and said affectionately: "My dear, I fight for you. May you always remember me."
After speaking, his body was torn apart, and the Nether Soul Nail turned into a stream of light, shooting straight towards Li Chengfeng's brow.
Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet felt the crisis of life and death, knowing that he could not avoid it, he could only grit his teeth and face this inevitable blow.
That inconspicuous Nether Soul Nail contained the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, as terrifying as an indestructible machine.
Seeing this, Li Chengfeng waved his hand, and countless puppet beams went to meet the Nether Soul Nail, but these beams were like mud entering the sea, without any power to stop it.
In a moment of desperation, he drove more than a dozen puppets to block in front of him, but the Nether Soul Nail still advanced like a hot knife through butter, piercing all the way through. Each time it passed through a puppet, it caused a roar, and the explosions rose and fell one after another, like maple leaves flying.
In a short moment, fifteen puppets had been detonated, and only when the head of the last puppet exploded did the Nether Soul Nail finally lose its power.
Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet breathed a sigh of relief. He originally had ninety puppets, and nearly half had been lost in the previous battle. Now he had lost more than a dozen, and now only thirty lonely ones remained around him.
However, he did not show the slightest fear, but looked at Xu Huixin with a leisurely gaze, and a playful smile appeared on his face.
At this time, the situation on the battlefield had become very tragic.
The bronze corpses of the Corpse Refinement Sect had basically been blown up, the scattered cannon fodder had almost died, and nearly half of the elite disciples had also been lost.
However, none of the people present retreated. They were filled with righteous indignation, fearless of death, and closely surrounded Xu Huixin, wanting to kill her and be done with it.
Xu Huixin felt unprecedented pressure. She looked at Li Chengfeng, took a deep breath and said, "Li Chengfeng, you are indeed very strong, and your puppet art is so powerful.
But at this moment, what means do you have to resist us?"
Li Chengfeng laughed loudly upon hearing this, and with a wave of his hand, ninety puppets appeared on the ground again, and those detonated puppets were replenished by him.
He said indifferently: "My puppets are enough to waste your time.
These are just cannon fodder, a bunch of broken copper and scrap iron."
Saying that, he turned his gaze to Xu Huixin, his voice became cold: "I advise you to be sensible, hand over the Nine Desires Celestial Bloom, and I can spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless and tearing you to pieces!"
The other Demonic Path disciples, when looking at Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet, were filled with fear in their eyes.
Li Chengfeng was indeed not simple. He truly mastered the essence of puppet art, manipulating countless puppets as cannon fodder to charge into battle, while he himself hid behind, carefree.
