He had not truly refined this body; he had only temporarily suppressed Zhang Xingzhu's soul.
Zhang Xingzhu, this swordplay genius, possessed a soul with surging power, completely preventing the old monster from refining him.
This body was like a ticking time bomb. Zhang Xingzhu couldn't control it, but neither could the old monster easily take it over.
After all, this was Zhang Xingzhu's body, his home ground. Once he had a chance to counterattack, the old monster would face utter destruction.
The old monster knew the threat Zhang Xingzhu posed to him, and he desperately wanted to completely eradicate this hidden danger.
Once he controlled this body, his strength would reach a new level, and he could also use the sword techniques of the Skysea Sword Sect, killing two birds with one stone.
Just then, Meng Biao hurried back, appearing anxiously before him: "Senior Brother, something terrible has happened!"
Meng He opened his eyes impatiently, rebuking him: "Why are you so flustered? How can you achieve great things if you're so careless?"
Meng Biao smiled awkwardly, explaining: "Senior Brother, I've discovered that Zhang Ruichu, Liu Ruoyan, and that detestable Li Chengfeng have formed an alliance.
They have forty or fifty people, secretly plotting in the canyon how to deal with us.
I originally wanted to lure them over, but seeing their lineup, I'm afraid we're no match. We need to think this over carefully."
A look of panic appeared on his face, as if afraid that Li Chengfeng and the others would attack at any moment.
Meng He burst into wild laughter: "A bunch of jumping clowns! Since they're gathered together, it saves us the trouble of searching everywhere.
Take me there, I will devour them one by one!"
He was extremely happy in his heart. If he devoured the souls of these cultivators, he would be able to devour Zhang Xingzhu's soul in one fell swoop. At that time, he would be the true master of this body.
Meng Biao pretended to be worried and said: "Senior Brother, but they have the advantage in numbers and are gathered together. I'm afraid they have a conspiracy."
Meng He dismissed it with disdain: "You really judge a gentleman's heart with a petty mind. With my strength, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs in front of me.
I am a late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm expert, how can these Qi Refining Realm cubs compare to me? Quickly lead me there, and let me show you my Demonic Path divine power!"
Meng Biao was secretly delighted, thinking that letting them fight each other would mean that no matter who won or lost, he would always be the one to benefit.
So, he immediately flew up, beckoning his fellow disciples to surround Meng He and fly forward.
Meng He said impatiently: "You're too slow. I'll take you ahead and let them follow behind."
With that, he stirred up a gust of dark wind, enveloping Meng Biao, and instantly disappeared from the spot, several dozen times faster.
After Meng Biao left, Li Chengfeng immediately began to set up the formation.
The spirit stones he held, combined with the formation platforms in Zhan Wusi's storage bag, and Li Chengfeng's deep understanding of formations, made his formation skills far superior to those so-called "half-baked" formation masters.
Soon, a powerful formation was completed, and he set up another formation. These two formations complemented each other, forming a complete defense and attack system.
Li Chengfeng arranged for all the disciples to take their positions, but even with them, there were only thirty people, far short of the power of fifty.
However, Li Chengfeng did not appear flustered. He shook his body, and with a series of thumping sounds, one imposing puppet after another jumped out of the void. There were twenty of them, all identical.
These doppelganger puppets, which closely resembled Li Chengfeng, each possessed surging power. Although they couldn't compare to Li Chengfeng himself, they were many times stronger than ordinary tenth-level Qi Refining cultivators.
These well-trained doppelganger puppets sat cross-legged, their eyes filled with murderous intent. This scene caused all the Demonic Path disciples present to feel a tingling numbness in their scalps.
