Jing Jintang blinked his eyes, scanned the Spirit Beasts that had surrounded them three layers deep, and loudly said, "Of course."
"Spread out a hundred zhang," Qian Duoduo shouted to the Spirit Beast group, taking out eight Foundation Establishment Corpse Puppets.
Among them, two were Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, and six were Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
Jing Jintang snorted, "Why leave a trump card?"
Qian Duoduo couldn't help but smile.
He had seen Zhao Yanran's description of him at Hu Yaoshi's place.
It clearly stated, "Qian Duoduo can control a maximum of twenty-four Corpse Puppets. When fighting him, you must make a quick decision."
With a flick of his hand, Qian Duoduo brought out sixteen more Corpse Puppets. "Come! Let's decide this!"
Jing Jintang threw the previous nine circles, putting two on each hand and foot, and one around his neck. The circles tightened and disappeared into his body. Jing Jintang's aura instantly surged two levels, from Foundation Establishment Great Perfection to Golden Core Middle Stage.
These nine circles were a set of Formation Magic Treasure with considerable power.
"White Dragon Playing with Wind!" Jing Jintang roared, activating the Formation on his painted halberd and sweeping it out, stirring up a whirlwind.
As expected of the bodyguard carefully selected by Zhao Yanran, not only was his life-saving skill excellent, but his close-combat halberd technique was also flawless. His strength was considerably greater than Gong Dian, Sima Qiankun, and Shi Chongyang.
The eight Corpse Puppets in the front row formed a Formation, uniformly swinging their Zombie Blood Claws to block Jing Jintang's sweeping halberd.
With a "boom," the eight Corpse Puppets were actually lifted by the painted halberd and simultaneously shifted three steps.
There was a significant gap between high-level artisan artifacts and mid-level Dan artifacts.
Jing Jintang succeeded with one Move, his face as calm as water. He flipped his hand and unleashed a Move that directly attacked the Dragon, intending to take the opportunity to destroy a few Corpse Puppets, get close to Qian Duoduo, and then deliver a fatal blow.
Qian Duoduo retreated a few steps, placing another group of eight Corpse Puppets in front of him. He brandished his Soul Blade, launching a sneak attack on Jing Jintang.
He had already Cultivated the first layer of Soul Blade Technique to Great Perfection. Not only was he proficient in all eighteen Moves, but he could also easily condense an Azure Dragon. However, there were still two more layers to the Soul Blade Technique.
The second layer of Soul Blade Technique could condense three Azure Dragons. The third layer was nine Azure Dragons.
After Qian Duoduo obtained the Soul Blade Technique, he had never seriously Cultivated it. He had been fighting Jing Jintang for half an hour here.
Although he hadn't fallen into a disadvantage, he was somewhat unwilling to only have that single Azure Dragon repeatedly.
He circulated the Eternal Wealth and Nobility Cultivation method, mobilizing the Spiritual Qi from the Lower Spirit Sea to surge into the Upper Spirit Sea, and then from the Upper Spirit Sea, he mobilized Soul Power to condense onto his nine-foot-five-inch Soul Blade.
The second Azure Dragon had just taken shape, but due to his unfamiliar technique, it immediately dispersed.
He condensed it three times, and it dispersed three times. Qian Duoduo became ruthless in his heart, drawing out the power of golden liquid from the Lower Spirit Sea, wrapping Tiandao Power around his Soul Power, and condensing the second Azure Dragon on his Soul Blade.
At this moment, the Golden Winged Bird stood on the back of the Four Unlike, unable to help Qian Duoduo.
Drawing out Tiandao Power made him as tired as if he had lifted a large mountain.
"Again!"
Sweat dripped from Qian Duoduo's forehead as he hid behind the Corpse Puppets, desperately condensing the Soul Dragon.
Jing Jintang saw his disheveled appearance and thought that Qian Duoduo's prolonged command of the twenty-four Corpse Puppets had led to insufficient Spiritual Qi supply.
He couldn't help but increase the force in his hands. The Formation on the painted halberd greatly intensified, its power increased by three points, and it struck the Corpse Puppet Formation. Under his full-strength attack, the Corpse Puppets began to show damage.
Qian Duoduo tried five or six times, but this third Azure Dragon was like a mischievous loach, simply refusing to appear.
If he merely wanted to win against Jing Jintang, the simplest method would be to throw out a few more groups of Corpse Puppets.
Qian Duoduo's current strength had already far surpassed what it was during the Feng Fan Battle.
Controlling another twelve Corpse Puppets would also be no problem.
But he had also become stubborn, insisting on mastering the second layer of this Soul Blade Technique.
