Under the illumination of these mysterious patterns, this person seemed not like a real human, but rather like a puppet that had been meticulously crafted.

Upon seeing this person’s appearance up close, Master Cang Jian’s pupils constricted, and a sense of foreboding flashed in his mind. His casual sword strike earlier had hit the puppet, but left no trace on it.

It was clear that the materials used to create this puppet were extremely precious, capable of withstanding the skills of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Moreover, the speed of this puppet was not slower than that of any Foundation Establishment cultivator.

That is to say, this was a Foundation Establishment Realm puppet.

At least, it could be a Foundation Establishment puppet that could hold on for a long time in the hands of a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

How could a small Qi-refining cultivator possess such a puppet?

Glancing around the puppet, Master Cang Jian felt chills running down his spine, and a sense of impending death surged in his heart. Could it be that the person he was chasing was not a Qi Refiner, but instead… a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

It wasn’t until this moment that Master Cang Jian, who had been playing cat and mouse all along, finally began to react. From the beginning, when He Song burst out with speed, to later, when he set up the two arrays, and now, when the Foundation Establishment Realm puppet appeared. All of these methods could not be executed by a Qi-refining cultivator.

Master Cang Jian’s heart suddenly sank.

Summoning back the mana sword in his hand, Master Cang Jian’s face turned solemn, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.

“Golden Cloud Sword!”

With a loud shout, Master Cang Jian used his mana to control the mana sword, slashing it fiercely toward the spirit puppet that was attacking him.

In the blink of an eye, a crimson-gold sword qi erupted from the mana sword controlled by Master Cang Jian, carrying an intense sharpness as it directly slashed toward the spirit puppet not far away.

At the same time, a shield-shaped artifact appeared beside Master Cang Jian, slowly revolving around his body.

Up ahead,

when the sword qi of the Golden Cloud Sword attacked, the spirit puppet that He Song controlled to kill Master Cang Jian dodged to the side in a flash.

This sword qi was not easy to deal with, although the materials used to create the spirit puppet were extremely tough, He Song didn’t want the spirit puppet to be damaged.

Therefore, as soon as he saw this scene, He Song immediately began to maneuver the spirit puppet to avoid it.

However, as He Song was controlling the spirit puppet to dodge the sword qi, a voice came from Master Cang Jian’s mouth.

“Fellow Daoist, I don’t know what grievances you have with Cang Jian, but to set an ambush and attack me here.”

“Do you not know the reputation of the Golden Sword Sect?”

“Why not withdraw the array now, Cang Jian can let bygones be bygones.”

As he spoke, Master Cang Jian made a hand sign, and the mana sword beside him suddenly swung again, sending out another sword qi toward the spirit puppet that He Song was controlling.

In response, He Song maneuvered the spirit puppet to dodge out of the way and continued to attack Master Cang Jian.

Whether Master Cang Jian’s words were meant to deceive He Song into cancelling the array, or simply to buy time, since they had already started fighting, there was naturally no reason to stop.

Fighting his way from the bottom all the way to this point, He Song would naturally not withdraw the array just because of a single sentence.

What if he really withdrew the array and Master Cang Jian took the opportunity to run away?

Moreover, after escaping, Master Cang Jian would probably call friends and launch a massive blockade of He Song within the territory of the Golden Sword Sect.

By then, even if he wanted to survive, it would be difficult.

Rather than that, it would be better to kill him first, and then kill his disciple.

To relieve the hatred in his heart,

and take this opportunity to completely disrupt the Golden Snake Immortal Mansion.

Then, taking advantage of the chaos, escape from the territory of the Golden Sword Sect at the fastest speed and return to the Thick Earth Sect’s territory.

By that time, He Song’s safety would naturally be guaranteed.

Before leaving the Golden Snake Immortal Mansion, He Song had already planned what to do after killing Master Cang Jian.

It was not far from the Thick Earth Sect here,

escaping to the Thick Earth Sect before the Golden Sword Sect could react was not difficult.

Therefore, after hearing Master Cang Jian’s words, He Song simply chose to ignore them.

He was not one of those Foundation Establishment Masters who had been raised under the protection of a sect since they were young, and he would not forget the meaning of the word “maliciousness” in people’s hearts.Inside the Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array,

after slashing out several sword qi and being constantly dodged by the spirit puppet, and after He Song did not respond, Master Cang Jian suddenly realized that something was wrong.

With the spirit puppet constantly approaching in front of him, and the heavenly fire constantly burning behind him, his mana was being consumed continuously.

Master Cang Jian’s face quickly became extremely gloomy.

The idea of fighting He Song when he withdrew the array formation was also abandoned by him at this moment.

Since He Song did not fall for it, he could only continuously block the burning of the heavenly fire with mana, and repel the approaching spirit puppet time and time again right now.

He knew that continuing like this was not a solution.

But being in the Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array and the Smoke Array,

his divine sense had no place to exert itself, and the heavenly fire around him was also constantly burning his mana.

Under the influence of both, Master Cang Jian felt his condition deteriorating rapidly.

But he couldn’t find He Song’s whereabouts, so he could only wander around in the Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array like a headless fly, never finding the Breaking Array Skill.

However,

Seeing Master Cang Jian getting anxious, a hint of a smile flashed across He Song’s face at this moment.

Using the illusion ability of the Smoke Array to trap the enemy inside the Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array, constantly burning the enemy’s mana with the heaven fire, causing the opponent’s strength to diminish at every moment.

And also making it impossible for the enemy to escape the range of the Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array due to the illusions of the Smoke Array.

They could only endure the constant burning of the heavenly fire.

At the same time, controlling the spirit puppets to harass the enemy, and if necessary, controlling the spirit puppets to attack the enemy.

To consume the enemy’s mana in this way.

Moreover, He Song was watching closely from the side.

Now all that was needed was to wait for Master Cang Jian’s mana to be constantly depleted and reveal a weak spot; He Song would then strike, killing the opponent with a thunderous force.

He Song had always been cautious when it came to fighting a Foundation Establishment cultivator head-on.

Otherwise, he would not have refined puppets, practiced Earth Dragon Skill, or purchased the Black Tiger Seal.

Spirit Puppet Skill.

Earth Dragon Skill.

Black Tiger Seal.

Each of these Foundation Establishment methods would allow He Song to have the combat strength of one, or even several Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

At this moment, Master Cang Jian was already trapped in the Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array.

Naturally, it was time for He Song to use these Foundation Establishment methods and gang up on him.

With a thought, He Song released the remaining three spirit puppets in his storage bag.

He had a total of four spirit puppets.

Qing Feng, Mingyue, Xianyun, and Ye He.

These four spirit puppets had incredibly sturdy bodies, able to withstand the attacks of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

At the same time, their offensive capabilities were not weak, posing a certain threat to Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

The joint attack of the four spirit puppets would, at the very least, suppress Master Cang Jian.

After releasing all the remaining three spirit puppets from the storage bag and controlling them to enter the Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array to attack Master

Cang Jian, He Song formed a hand seal and began to use the Earth Dragon Skill.

As mana surged out one after another, the rocks under the valley quickly transformed into a giant earth dragon, condensing before He Song.

The earth dragon made of rocks was actually not fragile.

Under the support of He Song’s mana, the rock-condensed earth dragon seemed to be wrapped in golden light, appearing majestic and formidable.

Upon forming, the earth dragon let out a heaven-shaking roar.

He Song’s current cultivation was at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

A mid-stage Foundation Establishment using the Earth Dragon Skill would create an earth dragon full of momentum, presumably having an attack power not inferior to the spirit puppets, and perhaps even stronger.

After glancing at the earth dragon, He Song casually pointed a finger, controlling the earth dragon and the Four Great Spirit Puppets to gang up on Master Cang Jian.

Having done all this, He Song summoned the Black Tiger Seal.

Throwing the Black Tiger Seal forward, it instantly grew in size as it met the wind, only stopping and no longer growing when it reached the size of a room.

Black Tiger Seal.

Refined from a Foundation Establishment Realm black tiger bone and various rare materials, it was incredibly powerful.

Once summoned, it could control the black tiger to attack the enemy.

Moreover, the Black Tiger Seal could change size at will, able to attack the enemy and provide protection if needed.

After summoning the Black Tiger Seal, He Song immediately infused it with mana.

Under the urging of He Song’s mana,

a black tiger more than ten feet long with only a black skeleton leaped out from the Black Tiger Seal.

After letting out a roar, the black skeleton tiger, under He Song’s control, joined the battlefield.

The Black Tiger Seal itself, landed beside He Song, protecting him from external attacks. After doing all this, He Song finally focused on Master Cang Jian.

At this moment,

Master Cang Jian was already going all out, surrounded by a golden glow, seeming as if he were wrapped in gold, looking exceptionally dazzling.

The mana sword he controlled had turned into a huge sword, constantly slashing out waves of sword energy under the control of mana to withstand the attacks coming from all directions.

The shield-shaped artifact around him was also constantly blocking the incoming attacks, emitting mournful wails.

He Song looked carefully and found that Master Cang Jian was already showing signs of defeat.

It couldn’t be helped.

In the beginning, He Song only released one spirit puppet, and even though Master Cang Jian was in the Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array, it was still relatively easy for him to handle.

He even felt in his heart that He Song was nothing more than that

Just a petty man who liked to hide behind puppets and launch sneak attacks.

However, later on, another three spirit puppets appeared, launching a joint attack on him, making Master Cang Jian feel immense pressure.

Under He Song’s control, the Four Great Spirit Puppets coordinated seamlessly,

constantly attacking Master Cang Jian, forcing him to run around and respond to the incoming attacks.

There was no need to worry about the attacks that the mana shield could block.

However, for the attacks that couldn’t be blocked, he had to rely on his mana sword to block them.

He had thought of counterattacking, but when he swung his sword energy, trying to destroy one of the spirit puppets, the sword energy landed on the spirit puppet, only leaving a not too deep mark on it.

The appearance of such a scene almost caused Master Cang Jian to collapse mentally.

Fortunately, as a Master of Foundation Establishment, he forcibly suppressed the urge to vomit blood and continued to resist the four spirit puppets.

However, the good things were yet to come..
