59: C59 The Puppet Showed Its Might!

C59 The Puppet Showed Its Might!

Not far from the cave, a large group of soldiers gathered, some of them stabbing back and forth in the thick grass with their weapons. Some of them went into more secretive caves to explore. They went to places where they could hide people. There were no exceptions. All of them had been thoroughly searched both inside and outside.

In the middle of this group of soldiers, there was a middle-aged general in armor. He looked forward and looked imposing.

This man's name was Su Xi, Cheng Haifeng's deputy general. He had the strength of a Fourth Layer of Nirvana Stage, and there were two people with the same status as him. However, they were not here. Each of them was assigned a thousand soldiers to search a few different areas.

According to Cheng Haifeng's speculation, the murderer might be in those areas.

"General, we didn't find any targets in the grass on the east side."

Not long after, a high-ranking general came to report and knelt down on one knee.

"Neither did the ones to the west"

Another soldier replied.

"Not in the south either."

Su Xi, on the other hand, had a calm expression, without the slightest change in expression.

He had expected such an outcome. After all, the Violet City was huge, and there were so many places where people could hide. Even if their city lord used all of his forces, he might not be able to find them.

Soon, another minute passed.

No one came back to report to him from the north.

Suddenly.

"Ah!"

A miserable scream came from not far away.

Upon hearing this, Su Xi's gaze was like a bolt of lightning as he looked in the direction of the voice. With a sway of his body, with a swoosh, he turned into an afterimage and rushed towards the north side of the forest. When the other three high ranking generals saw this, they hurriedly gathered their troops and chased after him.

Not long after, they arrived outside a small cave. A group of soldiers surrounded the cave entrance, trembling and hesitating as they did not move forward. Their eyes were filled with terror. They looked at the dark cave. From time to time, a shrill cry could be heard from inside the cave. The pungent smell of blood drifted from the cave to the tip of their noses, adding a bit of fear in their hearts...

Su Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at the surrounding soldiers. He did not see the high-ranking generals here and also understood why no one came to inform him after such a long time.

"What happened?"

A large group of soldiers followed behind Su Xi. He came to an ordinary soldier and asked in a deep voice.

The ordinary soldier turned his head. His face looked a little pale. When he saw the person, he pointed in the direction of the cave with a pale face. He could not even speak properly. "General... General, there are... monsters in there... die... Dead... They are all dead! "

After listening, Su Xi's face became a little puzzled. "Monster?"

Could it be that the murderer was not found, but instead encountered some powerful demon beast?

Su Xi narrowed his eyes and stared at the small cave in front of him. He immediately shook his head and rejected this idea. "It's not possible. In this kind of place, not to mention demon beasts, even wild beasts might not exist."

Regardless of what it was, as long as he went in and took a look, he would know.

Su Xi believed that with his Nirvana Stage strength, even if he encountered something... Just as he was about to bring his men in, all of a sudden, with a bang, the rock next to the hole was shattered. A figure shot out from the hole, his whole body covered in blood as he fell to the ground. His eyes widened.

After taking a quick look, he found that the person was completely lifeless. Obviously, he was dead. Su Xi shifted his attention to the dark figure in the cave. Due to the lack of light, he couldn't see the person's face clearly.

However, not long after, the figure slowly walked out from the cave. A delicate and thin face appeared in his sight.

It was him!

Su Xi's eyes shot out a ray of light.

He had really found it by stepping on iron shoes and searching everywhere. He had obtained it without any effort at all.

Just now, he had been thinking about how the entire Violet City was so big, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack if he wanted to find someone. He didn't expect that in such a short period of time, that person would automatically appear in front of him.

It seemed like General Cheng's guess was right. The murderer was indeed still in this place.

Staring at the young man in front of him, Su Xi's face carried a hint of a cold smile. It seemed like he was going to perform a meritorious deed.

Just as he was about to make a move, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and his pupils shrank. He looked at the black shadow that followed closely behind the young man in disbelief.

It looked like a human figure made of silver metal, and all sorts of strange symbols were engraved on its body.

What the hell was that thing?

Many people thought in horror.

This seemed to be... a puppet!

Su Xi's pupils shrank. He did not act rashly, because he could sense a faint threatening aura from the figure. He looked at the stunned soldiers around him and immediately thought of something.

"What are you all standing there for? Attack!"

A deep voice suddenly exploded in everyone's ears, waking them up from their shock.

The advantage of being a general was that Su Xi could command soldiers to fight, which saved him the trouble of personally testing the other party.

"Kill!"

After hearing the order, the group of soldiers held their weapons and instinctively charged at the two figures in front of them. Although their strength was ordinary, most of them were only at the Strength Realm. However, hundreds of people rushed forward, even if they were Nirvana Stage warriors. What?

Ji Wuyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was calm. He glanced at the silver silhouette behind him, then passed down an order to his opponent. At the same time, he quickly retreated and hid behind his opponent, using his opponent as a shield.

Just as Su Xi had guessed, this silver silhouette was indeed a puppet, and it was a relatively high grade puppet. Its strength was equivalent to a peak Nirvana Stage.

Unfortunately, after being abandoned for such a long period of time, the energy of the grade seven beast core inside the puppet had almost been depleted. It was already considered pretty good to be able to exert half of its strength.

Although it was only half of its strength, it was still comparable to a Fifth Layer of Nirvana Stage. This was also the reason why Su Xi felt threatened the moment he saw this puppet.

According to the information recorded in the secret refining manual of the Tool Sect, after successfully refining the puppet, in order to unleash its true potential, it would often require a demon beast beast core that was a realm higher than a martial artist. In other words, if a human martial practitioner wanted to display the might of the Self Appraisal Realm, they would have to rely on a demon beast ___ that was one realm higher than a martial practitioner. A Nirvana Stage's strength required a seventh level Demonic Beast's beast core.

This restriction seemed to be of little value, but as long as the puppet was equipped with the beast core, it would be able to display the strength of the peak of that realm, and it would not need to slowly cultivate from level to level.

For example, the puppet that Ji Wuyan had taken out.

The beast core that was installed in its body was a seventh level Demonic Beast, and it should have been able to display the strength of a peak Nirvana Stage warrior.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of weapons clashing constantly rang out, and sparks flew everywhere.

The puppet's body completely ignored the attacks of the weapons, and when it saw a human figure, it charged towards the other party. A force of at least ten thousand kilograms slammed into the ordinary soldiers, sending them flying one by one. Almost one punch after another, the sound of bones cracking continuously rang out.

In the face of such vulnerable soldiers, the silver puppets were like wolves entering a flock of sheep. Each of them was able to kill one person in an instant, and they were unstoppable as they fought against a thousand soldiers.

With such a ferocious puppet, Ji Wuyan, who was following behind it, was like a wolf in a flock of sheep. This was because most of the attacks of the soldiers were launched by the dummies. The remaining attacks were more than enough for him to deal with. It did not require much effort.

Su Xi looked at the fearless and domineering silver puppet, and his eyes immediately revealed a burning look. "If we kill that young man and take this puppet as our own... I'm sure my power will increase by a lot."

The increase in strength meant the increase of status. When one's status was high, wealth would continue to surge towards him.1

In the face of the temptation of money, perhaps not many people could resist it.

Gradually, the fear in Su Xi's eyes faded. A cold killing intent quietly flashed in his eyes. His fiery eyes were fixed on the silver puppet.

"All of you, attack together!"

He pursed his dry lips and said to the high-ranking generals.

There were at least a dozen of these high-ranking generals, and each of them had the strength of the Historia realm. With so many of them swarming together, not to mention him, even if Cheng Haifeng encountered them, he would have no choice but to avoid them.

One should know that Cheng Haifeng had the strength of a Seventh Layer of Nirvana Stage, and his combat strength was much higher than his.

For the sake of the silver puppet, Su Xi was going all out this time.

Through the probing of those ordinary soldiers, he could see that... That puppet was a little stronger than him. It might be dangerous for him to deal with that puppet. However, if those high-ranking generals were to attract firepower, he would take the opportunity to sneak attack that young man. The danger was much smaller, and there was almost no danger at all.

With his Fourth Layer of Nirvana Stage strength, it would be a huge joke for him to sneak attack a young man who was only a teenager.

As long as he killed that young man, the puppet would naturally stop after it lost its control. At that time, the puppet would also fall into his hands.

After receiving the order, the dozen high-ranking generals exchanged glances with one another. A hint of unwillingness flashed in their eyes. After all, they were not fools. They could also see the valiance of the puppet. If they rushed up at this time, wouldn't they be courting death?

However, no matter how unwilling they were, an order was still an order. They had to obey it. These dozen high-ranking generals wielded all kinds of weapons, urging the inner Qi in their bodies to blast at the silver puppet...

Boom!

More than a dozen blade lights and sword shadows struck at the same time. The power was so overwhelming that it could topple mountains and overturn seas. With a loud bang, dazzling sparks flew in all directions. The silver puppet was actually forced back a small step.

Hiss!

One had to admit that the strength of these high-ranking generals was not something that ordinary soldiers could compare with.

Seeing such an achievement, the morale of those high-ranking generals rose. A trace of excitement flashed across their eyes as they once again urged the inner Qi within their bodies to attack.

At this time, Su Xi was not idle either. His figure quietly shuttled among the ordinary soldiers. His eyes, which were as cold as a poisonous snake, locked onto the thin youth behind the silver puppet. He was prepared to give the opponent a fatal blow at any moment...
