Chapter 113: Your Ten Thousand Souls Banner is Impressive, But It’s About to Be Mine
Xu Zhengyang, for the sake of convenience, had engraved all the spiritual energy circuits of this batch of puppets directly on the surface.
Precisely because of that—
Chen Yabo immediately saw that the large puppet resembling a tanker had only two restrictions: one for 【Flight】 and one for 【Jet】.
“？”
Chen Yabo looked puzzled, not knowing what kind of trick Xu Zhengyang was playing.
But after many years in the Valley of Villains—
Chen Yabo might lack in other aspects, but when it came to combat experience, he had plenty.
He knew—
Even if he couldn't yet discern his enemy's intentions, he must not allow the opponent to act unimpeded!
Precisely because of that—
With a single thought, seven of his Ghost Generals and the Ghost Soldiers in their formation had their yin-energy weapons shift and transform—
Suddenly, all turned into longbows!
In the next instant—
Yin arrows rained down like a storm!
Completely engulfing Xu Zhengyang’s tanker-like puppets, aiming to shoot them down from the sky!
After Chen Yabo made his move—
He continued to observe Xu Zhengyang from the shadows, ready to counter whatever reaction Xu Zhengyang might have.
But Chen Yabo was disappointed.
Seeing his puppets under attack, Xu Zhengyang didn’t show a hint of panic.
He let the puppets be attacked, uncaring of spiritual energy consumption, and even summoned more Spirit-Devouring Wild Flame.
“？？？”
Chen Yabo grew even more puzzled. He truly couldn’t understand what purpose Xu Zhengyang had in summoning dozens of such large puppets.
【Was it to distract me?】
Chen Yabo finally came up with a somewhat reasonable explanation and then hardened his heart: 【Whatever that brat is thinking...
I just need to destroy all those puppets as quickly as possible!】
Immediately—
Chen Yabo’s Ghost Generals and Ghost Soldiers split into two groups—one continued advancing, crashing into Xu Zhengyang’s wall of fire;
The other unleashed yin arrows at an even faster pace, aiming to completely eliminate those large puppets!
Moments later—
With a loud “Boom!”, the first tanker-like puppet was shot to pieces and crashed to the ground!
Then, one after another—
Not a single one of Xu Zhengyang’s large puppets was spared!
Just then—
Though Xu Zhengyang had summoned a large amount of Spirit-Devouring Wild Flame, under the suppressive yin energy expelled by the Ghost Generals—
Those flames flickered like dying embers in the wind, on the verge of being extinguished!
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Seeing Xu Zhengyang taking no further action, Chen Yabo burst into laughter. “You’d better surrender now!
Spare yourself from being corrupted by yin energy and turning into neither man nor ghost!”
“Just a wanted thug.”
Xu Zhengyang spoke with disdain, waved his hand, and said calmly, “Fire, come!”
The moment Xu Zhengyang finished speaking—
A basic Tier 1 Wind-type spell activated, and a strong gust blew from behind him toward the Ghost Generals and Soldiers ahead.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Chen Yabo laughed wantonly at the sight. “You made such a grand display earlier—I thought you had something powerful up your sleeve.
Turns out your so-called confidence is just this little breeze?”
At this point—
Chen Yabo shook his head and sighed. “Who’d have thought that in just a few short years after I left...
The True Essence Sect has fallen so far that even a brat like you can become a True Disciple?
The rivers and lakes truly…”
Before Chen Yabo could finish his sentence—
The moment that “little breeze” from Xu Zhengyang made contact with the Spirit-Devouring Wild Flame—
“Whoosh!”
Those flickering remnants of flame, seemingly about to be extinguished by Chen Yabo’s yin energy, suddenly erupted—flaring up a hundredfold!!
In a flash—
The flames converged, forming a massive fire dragon over a hundred zhang long, with soaring claws and scales!
Though this place was a land of dense yin energy—
The fire dragon was so colossal, it could directly ignore the suppressive yin!
Flames soared into the sky; even from a hundred zhang away, the searing heat could be clearly felt!
“How is this possible?!”
Chen Yabo shouted in shock upon witnessing the scene!
Chen Yabo wasn’t stupid.
He immediately realized that this sudden fire dragon must be related to those puppets Xu Zhengyang had summoned earlier!
As for how exactly Xu Zhengyang had done it…
Chen Yabo was completely clueless.
……
Now that the fire dragon formed from Spirit-Devouring Wild Flame had taken shape, Xu Zhengyang sneered coldly, “Whether it’s possible or not—can’t you see with your own eyes?!”
As he spoke—
That lifelike fire dragon bared its fangs and claws, charging straight toward Chen Yabo!
“You’re trying to trade life for life?” Chen Yabo exclaimed in surprise.
He hadn’t expected Xu Zhengyang to be so reckless, with no regard for defense!
This kind of behavior—
Was even more unrestrained than him, a heretic cultivator from the Valley of Villains—more like a true heretic!
But after years of surviving and battling in the Valley of Villains, Chen Yabo had honed sharp combat instincts.
Instantly, he made a decision—to confront head-on, ready to exchange wounds, life for life!
“Then let’s see who dies first!”
Chen Yabo roared and poured all his spiritual energy into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, shaking it with all his might!
He had to see—
Would his Ghost Generals and Soldiers cut Xu Zhengyang down first, or would Xu Zhengyang’s fire dragon burn him to ashes!
Moments later—
Xu Zhengyang’s fire dragon reached Chen Yabo, and Chen Yabo’s Ghost Generals and Soldiers also reached Xu Zhengyang!
As the Ghost blades and swords were about to land—
The Azure Sky Crane Feather behind Xu Zhengyang abruptly unfolded, propelling him backward to hover in mid-air!
“Cheap trick!”
Chen Yabo sneered and prepared to activate the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, switching the Ghost Generals and Soldiers to longbows with yin energy to shoot Xu Zhengyang down.
But at that very moment!
Chen Yabo suddenly realized—though the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was still in his hand, his connection with it had been severed!
Alarmed, Chen Yabo exclaimed, “Bastard! What did you do to my Ten Thousand Souls Banner?!”
No sooner had he shouted than he thought of a certain curse technique Gong Jin had deciphered from an ancient text years ago.
He cried out again, “You learned the Divine Binding Mantra?!”
Chen Yabo had once been Gong Jin’s True Disciple.
So naturally, he knew the weaknesses of the Divine Binding Mantra well.
But with Xu Zhengyang’s fire dragon already in front of him, Chen Yabo couldn’t spare the focus to disperse the curse seal on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner!
So, with a pained expression, he summoned a blood-colored hood-shaped magical artifact and placed it above his head.
Immediately—
A crimson light column descended from the hood, enveloping Chen Yabo, buying him time to concentrate his Divine Sense and break the seal of the Divine Binding Mantra on the banner!
But Xu Zhengyang wasn’t about to let him succeed!
Under his control, the fire dragon slammed unhesitatingly into the crimson light column formed by the hood!
In the next instant—
“Crack!”
Though the light column managed to destroy a large portion of the fire dragon, it shattered in response!
With no more obstacles, the fire dragon charged at Chen Yabo’s real body without hesitation!
As it neared—
Chen Yabo had no choice but to bite his tongue, summon a cloud of blood, and flee at full speed to escape the damaged fire dragon!
At that moment—
The platinum 5090 behind Xu Zhengyang fluttered without wind, crackling loudly!
The damaged fire dragon split into hundreds of agile fire jiaos!
These fire jiaos coordinated perfectly, encircling Chen Yabo from all angles, forcing him to flee in panic, unable to focus his mind to break the curse seal on the banner.
Meanwhile, Xu Zhengyang himself—
Took advantage of the chaos to extend his Divine Sense into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in Chen Yabo’s hand, stirring up trouble...
