Hearing Zhao Ye’s cries for help, Li Chu looked towards him, a hint of a cold smile on his face. Li Chu had not expected Zhao Ye would actually beg him for rescue.
It should be noted that after joining the Black Cloud Sect, Li Chu had won the favor of the sect elders, but this had sparked jealousy among the sect’s Heavenly Prides such as Zhao Ye and Jia Shaluo, and they had always been at odds.
However, now faced with danger, Zhao Ye had no choice but to ask for Li Chu’s help. Otherwise, even if Zhao Ye wouldn’t die from Lin Chen’s strike, he would be seriously injured.
In response to Zhao Ye’s plea, Li Chu sneered, thinking that he had just joined the Black Cloud Sect, where his influence was weak. This was an excellent opportunity to subdue a Heavenly Pride like Zhao Ye.
"Awaken, Black Evil Puppet!"
With that thought, Li Chu’s figure flashed as he moved in front of Zhao Ye, retrieving a black Spiritual Pearl.
That Spiritual Pearl radiated a sinister and terrifying aura, extremely cold and violent, as though a sleeping ferocious beast was slowly waking.
After casting a spell, the black Spiritual Pearl instantly merged into a damaged Yin Sha Puppet on the ground.
The damaged Yin Sha Puppets on the ground began to rapidly gather, and an overwhelmingly powerful Yin Sha Qi burst forth in an instant.
Seeing Li Chu’s action, Lin Chen and the others all had grave expressions on their faces. They could feel the terrifying aura emanating from the gathering puppets.
The ruined Yin Sha Puppets, under the influence of the black Spiritual Pearl, actually fused into a Black Evil Puppet standing four to five meters tall, with a body that was pitch-black.
With a loud noise, the Black Evil Puppet blocked the huge Light Sword released by Lin Chen, shattering the Sword Light instantly.
"So, it was blocked, is that Li Chu’s final card?"
Lin Chen looked surprised at the Black Evil Puppet unleashed by Li Chu. He had sensed a powerful aura hidden within Li Chu during their previous battle, which is why he had not pressed him too hard then.
But now Li Chu had still played his last card, and Lin Chen also guessed the purpose behind Li Chu’s action.
"Lin Chen, today will be the day of your demise!"
Li Chu’s eyes emitted a blood-red light as he bellowed crazily at Lin Chen, clearly showing his hatred for Lin Chen.
In that moment, facing the Black Evil Puppet, Lin Chen was not panicked. He changed the spell in his hand, manipulated the Seal Decision, and raised his sword to once again gather the sword might of the Killing Formation. Thɪs chapter is updated by noᴠelfire.net
"So what if it’s a Black Evil Puppet, I shall still strike it down."
Lin Chen looked steadfastly at Li Chu and declared arrogantly, before his sword came slashing down once more.
Under Lin Chen’s lead, the Jade Cauldron Sect disciples who had followed him, although feeling afraid, saw that Lin Chen had not retreated and continued to channel their Spiritual Power with gritted teeth.
Powerful Sword Qi gathered again, forming a Sword Light even more formidable than before, slashing down at the Black Evil Puppet.
"Big talk. I want to see how you’ll cut down my Black Evil Puppet."
Li Chu was extremely confident in his Black Evil Puppet, believing Lin Chen couldn’t possibly be its match. The Black Evil Puppet was personally taught to him by his master, composed of Yin Sha Qi taken from the Mire Marsh Secret Realm last time and refined through special secret techniques.
This Yin Sha Bead could turn an incomplete Yin Sha Puppet into a Black Evil Puppet with Melding Earth Realm Cultivation in an instant, possessing incredibly powerful combat strength. Even an Earth Melding Realm martial artist would not be the match of the Black Evil Puppet.
Could Lin Chen’s Sword Light possibly be more powerful than an Earth Melding Realm martial artist’s attack?
As the Sword Light descended, the Black Evil Puppet actually withstood the Sword Qi slashed down by Lin Chen.
With a forceful grip, the Black Evil Puppet crushed Lin Chen’s Sword Light in an instant.
Not only that, but streams of Yin Sha Qi leaked out from the Black Evil Puppet’s body, enveloping Lin Chen and the Jade Cauldron Sect disciples.
The spread of the Yin Sha Qi was incredibly fast, reaching Lin Chen in just a few breaths.
Facing the Yin Sha Qi that could corrode one’s Spiritual Power, Lin Chen didn’t dare to be careless and quickly released his Spiritual Power to form a barrier, blocking the Yin Sha Qi.
However, Lin Chen’s power alone was ultimately limited and could not block all the Yin Sha Qi. Much of it still seeped into the midst of the Jade Cauldron Sect’s crowd.
"This isn’t good. This Yin Sha Qi can corrode our Spiritual Power. If this goes on, we will inevitably lose our ability to fight, and by then, we will be at the mercy of the Black Cloud Sect," Huang Liang said from within the crowd, his complexion instantly turning extremely pale upon sensing the Yin Sha Qi.
He found that he couldn’t resist these streams of Yin Sha Qi with his own power.
The other disciples also looked troubled, struggling against the Yin Sha Qi, and even Wang Yilin and Xu Lianyu were somewhat strained in their resistance.
And just then, Li Chu’s Seal Decision changed again. The Black Evil Puppet turned into a black wind, rushing into the midst of the Jade Cauldron Sect disciples, swinging its exceedingly sharp arms and wreaking havoc among them.
In just a short time, the Black Evil Puppet had slain seven or eight Jade Cauldron Sect disciples. Lin Chen’s expression turned grave, his only option now being to use the Sword Rain Meteor Formation.
However, because of the Black Evil Puppet’s charge, the Jade Cauldron Sect disciples were scattered, and the formation of the Sword Rain Meteor Formation was broken. Lin Chen was unable to muster the power of the Killing Formation anymore.
