Chapter 243: Chapter 212: Sky-splitting Halberd_1
“You scoundrel! Leave that for me!!”
The immortality puppet body that he had just obtained was shattered, already driving the Old Ancestor of Tongyou to the brink of madness. Now, an inexplicably sudden individual was drawing out his anger. The rage in his heart could only be imagined.
The Sky-splitting Halberd, which could open up spatial portals, was undeniably an invaluable treasure, possibly even more precious than this incomplete puppet body.
How could he tolerate someone stealing it.
The spatial portal to the Spirit Realm has already closed, and the departing woman could not attack him any longer.
The Old Ancestor of Tongyou deployed all his means, forcibly reassembling his shattered body and then formed a huge demon hand covering the sky, and grabbed towards the white light.
Just when the demon claw was about to catch up, two blue lights shot out swiftly from the midst of the white light.
Thud!
The seemingly powerful demon’s claw was in fact instantly pierced by the blue light.
“Damn! What magic is this?”
The Old Ancestor of Tongyou couldn’t help but be taken aback.
However, possessing the puppet body, he progressed faster than lightning, just stalling for a moment, he could quickly kill the opponent.
But the white light was equally swift. By the time he wanted to gather strength again, it had flown far away.
In the end, the Old Ancestor of Tongyou could only curse silently, focusing his attention on absorbing the scattered energy.
The damage to his body was severe this time, at least half of the demonic Qi was released.
This demonic Qi was the root of his body. The more he absorbed, the higher his strength limit would be. As long as he had enough power, as long as he was in this world, he would eventually take back the halberd.
If he adamantly chased them now, he might end up empty-handed.
“Imbeciles, wait until I catch you, I’ll tear you to shreds!”
Looking around, originally there were six people, but now only two remained, one was his disciple, and the other was a woman in a red mask, the rest had all disappeared.
Undoubtedly, the white light just now was one of the four people.
But he was not clear as to who that was.
At that time, he was busy controlling his body and had no idea what was happening around him.
Later on, his puppet body was shattered and he knew even less.
The remaining two people were under the erosion of the demonic Qi and have totally changed, becoming some sort of non-human existence.
“Huh?”
Looking at the changes on the two people, the expression of the Old Ancestor of Tongyou suddenly became strange.
This demonic Qi seems a bit different from what he imagined.
Elsewhere, the white light returned to the starting place at the fastest speed.
The light dispersed, revealing the physical form.
It was a giant white fox with fins on its back.
The white fox opened its mouth wide and spat out a person.
This person looked somewhat similar to Xu Mu, but his cultivation was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage.
This person was none other than Xu Mu’s third body that he had nurtured over the years, initially intended to send to the Central Region, but due to the suddenness of this incident, as a precaution, he carried it with him in the spirit beast pouch.
His main body had been reduced to waste, and for the time being, he could only move around as this separate body.
Looking at the entrance that was still open, Xu Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After putting away the white fox puppet, he flew out of the entrance.
Thankfully, he had received this white fox puppet and refined it, otherwise, relying solely on his late Foundation Establishment body, he wouldn’t have been able to traverse such a far distance.
But after travelling for such a long time, the remaining energy in the white fox puppet was almost depleted, otherwise, he wouldn’t have released his separate body.
After leaving the small space, he was immediately on high alert, fearing that the woman had left something behind.
But obviously, he was overthinking. If the woman chose to leave, how could she leave something behind.
All the way, he didn’t encounter anything, not even those bizarre puppets, they had all turned into piles of materials.
Presumably, some sort of core part of them was taken away by her.
This left Xu Mu uncertain whether to be glad or sad.
He was glad because he didn’t have to worry about danger, and was sad because he didn’t gain any benefits.
This time, he had suffered a great loss.
He quickly ran to the room where Xu Ling and Zhang Yu were imprisoned, but didn’t find anything.
The expression on Xu Mu’s face was ugly.
“Didn’t that woman take them away? Damn it!”
Xu Mu couldn’t help but ground his teeth in anger. There really wasn’t a bit of old affection.
Not only did she use him as cannon fodder, she didn’t even try to save him when she left, and even took his daughter away.
He quickly searched the entire palace and apart from finding some puppet materials, he didn’t have any other gains.
The entrance to the small space was already exuding demonic Qi. Xu Mu had to promptly leave to avoid the Old Ancestor of Tongyou coming after him.
From the other party’s manic words, he had guessed the identity of the Old Ancestor of Tongyou.
However, he could never have imagined that he would interact with this master of the Demonic Dao in such a way.
“What a pity, I don’t know the spell to close the entrance, otherwise I could trap him in the small space and sleep soundly.”
Xu Mu lamented in his heart.
Now that the other party had obtained the Immortal’s Puppet, no one knew what would happen in the future.
The only thing that could be guessed was that not only the Cloud Peak Mountain Range, but possibly the entire Tianhe Sect, or even the entire Southern Wilderness, would be plunged into turbulence.
After leaving the palace, he was rushing towards White River City while using the communication charm to notify Ye Yingying and others to pack up and prepare to move house.
The Old Ancestor of Tongyou could emerge from the small space at any time, and being too close to the small space, they would certainly be hit first.
His current strength is simply incapable of confronting him.
Even if his main body was not crippled, and even if he had obtained the Skysplitting Halberd, he was still no match for the opponent.
Just the demonic Qi released casually by the opponent was more than he could resist.
When the Immortal’s puppet was shattered, the reason why he hurried to leave, instead of going up to gather the shrapnels was because of the thick demonic Qi released.
Let alone going up to claim the benefits, staying a bit longer, he might have been turned into a madman due to the erosion.
Only a demonic Dao monster like the Old Ancestor of Tongyou who had practiced for thousands of years would dare to charge up on his own accord.
“I wonder how long that old guy can survive with just a strand of remaining spirit?”
“If he can maintain his sanity, that’ll be good. If he totally becomes a demon, that would be a real disaster!”
Xu Mu sighed quietly.
“If it weren’t for the problem with my main body, actually, I profited greatly from this.”
Thinking of the Sky-splitting Halberd that he had collected, Xu Mu’s heart was on fire.
Actually, he should have quietly slipped away at that time, but the temptation of the Sky-splitting Halberd was too great.
He didn’t need to guess to know that it was definitely a magic weapon beyond the nine tiers, it probably had reached the level of the legendary Heavenly Spirit Treasure.
Just like a mountain of gold falling from the sky, and all you needed to do was reach out to grab it, who in this world could resist such a temptation.
Moreover, his main body had been crippled, and he was filled with rage.
Having obtained the Sky-splitting Halberd, he also had a way to vent his frustration!
His gains were not just this, there were also several other valuable pieces as well.
