"Tian'er? He went to the Fire Worship Sect?" Duan Ru Feng was stunned when he heard Li An's words. He became worried immediately. However, when he heard Li An wanted to use him to lure his son, Duan Ling Tian, out of the Fire Worship Sect, he realized that his son was safe for the time being. At the very least, he was living quite well in the Fire Worship Sect to the point that this elder from the sect could not do anything to him at all. Otherwise, this Fire Worship Sect would not have needed to use him to lure his son out of the Fire Worship Sect!
Duan Ru Feng did not blame his son for bringing disaster to the Azure Cloud Mansion. Instead, he felt proud. His son would stand out no matter where he went! As a father, he was, naturally, proud of his son.
At this moment, a hearty laugh rang in the air. It came from Centurion Tong Zhong who stood among the group of Black Armored Guards. After his laughter died down, he glanced at Li An and mocked him unreservedly. "You're an awe-inspiring elder from the Fire Worship Sect, but you have to resort to such a lowly tactic to deal with our Young Mansion Master. How pathetic! You said we should blame our Young Mansion Master for bringing disaster to our Azure Cloud Mansion and he's the cause of the downfall of the Azure Cloud Mansion. Well, brothers, tell him! Is there anyone who's angry at Young Mansion Master? Is there anyone of you who's afraid of death?!" Tong Zhong asked loudly. His words roused the spirit of every Black Armored Guards present on the scene. It caused their blood to boil!
"We're not angry!"
"We're not angry!"
"We're not afraid of death!"
"We're not afraid of death!"
When Tong Zhong finished speaking, the Black Armored Guards yelled in reply. Their voices were thunderous and shook the air. The clouds billowed as though they were affected by their voices.
The group of Black Armored Guards emitted an imposing aura even though they might not be a match for the people from the Upper Province even if they all joined forces. However, they were fearless.
For the sake of Azure Cloud Mansion, for the sake of Lord Mansion Master, for the sake of Young Mansion Master, they would die with no regrets!
It was apparent Li An did not expect the situation to turn out this way. He wanted to see the people from the Azure Cloud Mansion cowering before him. Moreover, he wanted them to curse and blame Duan Ling Tian. He wanted them to sever their ties to the Azure Cloud Mansion.
Li An did not expect that the people from the Azure Cloud Mansion would not show any signs of fear or despair. They did not blame Duan Ling Tian nor did they intend to sever their ties to the Azure Cloud Mansion!
Li An became so furious that his face turned pale. This was completely different from what he had expected.
"Not afraid of death?" Li An took a deep breath as his eyes shone with killing intent. He smiled coldly and said, "Since all of you are not afraid of death, I'll grant you your wish!" As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and made a signal.
When the Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses from the Northern Plethora Sect standing behind Li An saw the signal, their eyes turned cold and hostile as they looked at the group of Black Armored Guards standing behind Duan Ru Feng and Ru Yan.
They were merely waiting for Li An's order before they attack and annihilate the Black Armored Guards!
"Your words are really high-handed!" A cold voice suddenly spoke up as Li An was about to give his order to the powerhouses behind him. It caught Li An's attention immediately.
Li An turned to look at the Mansion Master Duan Ru Feng of the Azure Cloud Mansion who had just spoken!
"You'll soon find out whether my words are high-handed or not. You should count yourself lucky that you're Duan Ling Tian's father. Otherwise, you'll die as well!" Li An looked at Duan Ru Feng before smiling coldly, "However, even if you don't die today, you'll still going to die after I use you to lure Duan Ling Tian out and kill him!" His voice was filled with killing intent.
"There's no need to wait!" Duan Ru Feng said again as Li An dropped his right hand and was about to instruct Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses to attack. His voice shook people's hearts like the thunderous sound of a bell ringing.
Duan Ru Feng's voice stunned the Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses standing behind Li An who were about to attack. They all turned to look at Duan Ru Feng.
"Kill…" Li An spat out a word as his expression turned grave. This was because Duan Ru Feng had snatched the spotlight from him.
Duan Ru Feng who was completely shrouded in Devil Qi stood in the distance as his robe fluttered in the air. His long hair that had broken free from his hairband seemed like snakes as they fluttered in the air.
At the same time, Duan Ru Feng's hands that seemed to burn with black flames began to make a series of complex signs.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
He slammed his hands against the air after making the complex signs, causing the air to tremble for a moment before the sound of explosions reverberated in the air.
"Huh?" As a powerhouse at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, Li An's perception was far better than ordinary people. He could clearly sense that when Duan Ru Feng slammed his hand against the air, it felt as though the air was trembling. Moreover, an ominous feeling began to rise in his heart as he sensed a dangerous aura.
'What's he trying to do?!' Li An could not figure out what Duan Ru Feng was doing. He began to panic in his heart. It was as though he could sense something big was about to happen. He took a deep breath. His eyes were cold as his Saint Origin surged out of his body, trying to stop Duan Ru Feng.
"It's too late!" Duan Ru Feng said in a timely manner as Li An's Saint Origin surged out of his body. His voice was cold and brooked no arguments.
Boom!
As Duan Ru Feng made the last hand sign, Devil Qi surged out, distorting everyone's sight. It quickly turned into a whirlpool. When the whirlpool appeared, one could sense the deep and tranquil darkness in the center of it. This darkness caused chills to run up people's spines.
On top of that, the suction force from the whirlpool was not targeted at where Duan Ru Feng and the others were standing. It was targeted on the other side of where he stood!
"This is…" Li An and his men were not the only ones who were shocked by this scene, even Rong Yuan and the group of Black Armored Guards, including Tong Zhong, were shocked as well.
"W-What technique did Lord Mansion Master cast?" Rong Yuan's eyes were widened in shock. This was his first time seeing his Mansion Master casting this technique.
"Come out!" Duan Ru Feng said emotionlessly as everyone's attention was fixed on the whirlpool he had created. His voice was so cold that it made the atmosphere turn stifling.
As soon as Duan Ru Feng finished speaking, everyone was stunned when they saw what seemed to be titan emerging from the center of the whirlpool.
The titan was the size of a small hill. It emitted an oppressive and pure Devil Qi as it walked out in a neither slow nor hurried manner. It instantly caught everyone's attention. The titan was more than ten meters tall. It possessed a humanoid form and seemed to be made of stones that were as dark as night. It had no facial features at all. It appeared extremely intimidating.
Li An was stunned when he saw the humanoid stone figure that was emitting Devil Qi, It was his first time seeing a monster like that. 'What is this?!' He could clearly sense the powerful energy from the humanoid stone figure. It was even more powerful than his own energy. However, he could not sense any signs of life on the humanoid stone figure at all.
"Combine!" Duan Ru Feng's voice sounded again when everyone's attention was fixed on the humanoid stone figure. It caused everyone to shift their attention to him again.
Under the watchful eyes of the others, Duan Ru Feng charged toward the humanoid stone figure.
As soon as Duan Ru Feng's body made contact with the humanoid stone figure, a baffling sight appeared before everyone's eyes.
When Duan Ru Feng's body made contact with the humanoid stone figure, the stone figure began to emit Devil Qi that shrouded Duan Ru Feng's body. In the next moment, the Devil Qi had disappeared and so did Duan Ru Feng.
As soon as Duan Ru Feng disappeared, one of the Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses standing behind Li An cried out in horror, "Saint Devil Puppet!" It was as though he had recalled something terrifying as he lost his composure.
"Saint Devil Puppet?" Everyone, including Li An, was stunned as the whirlpool slowly vanished.
Saint Devil Puppet?
They had heard of Human Puppets, Earth Puppets, and Heaven Puppets, but they had never heard of Saint Devil Puppets.
These three puppets were puppets mastered and controlled by Devil Cultivators. Among those three, Heaven Puppets were the most powerful!
