Chapter 159: Puppet Corpses

Jin Xian stood in front of Hui. Green light flickered over her eyes. The green threads coiled in her palms, almost invisible from the outside. Only a faint green glow against her robes stood out in the darkness.

Ghouls circled around them, lurching closer step by step. Fluctuations at the third realm boiled off them, surging on the air. Closer and closer, one step at a time. A hundred meters. Fifty. Ten.

Still Jin Xian stood, eyes darting. Her fingers twitched, clenching with barely-restrained bloodlust. The green glow flickered against her robes.

Five meters. Four. Three.

Jin Xian burst into motion. She darted through the crowd of ghouls. Green threads lashed out from her hands, scything through the ghouls rotten flesh like a hot knife through butter. Glowing brilliantly, they sent beams of green light flickering across the battlefield. Where they passed, the battle lit with neon green. Where no thread stood, the battle remained in pure black shadow. Green light and shadow strobed around Jin Xian, darting through the field.nove(l)bi(n.)com

She pointed with her index finger. The first thread connected to a particularly vicious ghoul. It twitched, fighting her, then trembled. A second later, its eyes glowed green, and it leaped at the ghoul beside it.

Jin Xian pointed her thumb, her middle finger, then her fourth finger. One by one, she selected the most powerful ghouls from the battlefield.

As her pinky finger connected, green light strobed in her own eyes. She squinted. Veins stood out on her forehead. Jin Xian snarled.

The fifth ghoul snarled back, fighting her puppeteering power. Its eyes flickered with green. It let out a roar, and the green light began to fade. The green thread thinned.

In his eyes, Bai Xue and Liu Baozhai already belonged to him. Once he laid his eyes on something, no one dared to keep it from him. A consummate chosen in his sect, his mastery of his clans puppet arts had propelled him to further greatness. Within Black Asp Sect, he could call the winds and summon the rain. He compelled great influence within the sect. Even if he laid his hands directly on a fifth-stage masters inheriting disciple, unless that disciple was an even greater chosen than him, the master would be powerless to do anything but stare with bloodshot eyes. In Black Asp Sect, there was no greater chosen than him, not at his stage, nor at any other! In his own estimate, he was only comparable to a true genius such as Weiheng Wu. And even then, in Xi Guanxis eyes, Weiheng Wu paled before him!

His eyes flickered again. He peered into the other realms, taking a look at all the other participants. As their suffering forms passed before his eyes, the dismissive look in his eyes only grew stronger. He shook his head. As expected, no one can stand up to me wait?

Xi Guanxi frowned, furrowing his brows. That isnt that the cultivator who killed himself, when he ran into me on the vertebra? Ah, it is! Id recognize that Fang clan bitch anywhere. To think, she ended up as a

His eyes widened. Green light flashed in his vision. Thatour puppeteering arts? How?

The Fang clan bitch entered the secret realm at the same time my little brother did. Now she emerges as that cultivators corpse-soldier, using my brothers puppeteering arts? And that cultivator Xi Guanxis eyes narrowed, fierce and sharp. He killed himself before me. That was obviously an escape technique, but! What if it wasnt because of the Fang clan bitch? What if instead

Xi Guanxi panted, his emotions whirling. He pressed a hand against his forehead, his hair flying around on the air as his qi roiled. He! He, he must have, my brother! He must have killed my brother!

Turning his head to the sky, Xi Guanxi roared. Full of the whole power of his cultivation base and all his rage and bloodlust, it vibrated the very walls of the realm. The roar echoed through everyones realm. All through the trial realm, all the cultivators looked up, startled.

Hui, too, turned his head. He furrowed his brows. Eh, huh? Why do I feel like that voice is familiar?

Oh well. Probably someone else getting frustrated by the realm. Ah it feels nice to glide along while other people struggle. I wonder if this is how the loan sharks felt? Its my first time to experience this bliss!

Hui sighed out, then shook his head. Fourth realm ghouls punched through the earth. Some climbed up from under the rock formations, shattering the stone as they emerged. Huis eyes narrowed. Focus, Hui. Make it out of this trial realm alive first! Dont become complacent. Youre still a small cultivator! Theres still a million things that can kill you!
