I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 221 Six-Legged Attack
Xiao Wuji glanced at the three puppets but had no intention of making a move right now. The number of experts in the Ephemeral Clan was far greater than that. If he really wanted to make a move, he would have to wait until they were all gathered together and then conjure a fire lotus and throw it at them.

To be fair, the Buddha's Wrath Lotus is indeed a powerful weapon in group battles; no matter how many people there are, it can wipe them all out in an instant. Therefore, Xiao Wuji didn't take the group of Yin soldiers and puppets seriously at all, and his tone was naturally as arrogant as possible!

"A tiny mayfly, born in the morning and dying at night, dares to occupy such a rare and precious treasure!"

"Today I will teach you a lesson: only the virtuous should possess the most precious and rare treasures!"

"presumptuous!"

The puppet, whose physique resembled that of an ordinary person, roared angrily, raised the two golden hammers in its hands, and stomped its feet in mid-air. At the same time, with a series of explosive sounds, its figure shot out instantly, and the two giant hammers in its hands crashed down towards Xiao Wuji's head.

"Puppets and such are really scary!"

With a flash of rainbow light beneath his feet, Xiao Wuji swiftly dodged the puppet's double hammers, making it seem as if he were toying with it like a monkey.

A moment later, the purple-armored puppet, which hadn't even touched Xiao Wuji's clothes, realized it had been tricked and immediately flew into a rage.

"court death!"

The puppet roared and retreated several feet, slamming its two golden hammers together in front of it.

An invisible shock distorted the air, forming a visible shockwave that spread outwards towards the puppet.

Inside the shockwave, faint black arcs of electricity could be seen, giving one the feeling of goosebumps from a distance.

"Why isn't everyone here yet? This is such a hassle!"

Xiao Wuji muttered a couple of things to himself, then put away his upper robe, leaving his upper body bare, and stood there without flinching.

His body wasn't as angular as that of ordinary body-refining cultivators, but it gave people a sense of unified wholeness.

The shockwave impacted Xiao Wuji's body, but it did not bother him in the slightest. He stood motionless in mid-air, his expression unchanged, still showing a speechless look.

His cultivation of divine and demonic body refinement has reached the perfection of the primordial spirit, his physique is already extremely strong, and he has also cultivated a great divine power such as the "Five Thunder Vajra".

After years of cultivation in the abyss, he used a magical artifact sealed with the Great Five Elements Technique to summon two kinds of Five Elements Divine Thunder to assist him in cultivating his supernatural powers. At this moment, he has cultivated the "Five Thunder Vajra" to the third level of perfection.

His physical body was comparable to a top-grade Heaven-rank magic weapon; even the renowned "Five Dragon Guillotine" might not be able to penetrate it. He truly didn't take the attacks of a mere Nascent Soul cultivator seriously. If he weren't worried about tearing his robes, he wouldn't have even bothered to take them off.

The six-legged creature beside him secretly compared himself to Xiao Wuji, then resolved never to let him get close. Just as he was about to observe Xiao Wuji a little longer and witness his supernatural abilities, he suddenly saw Xiao Wuji turn around, glance at him, and then mutter curses:
"I'm telling you, do you want the Styx Spirit Milk, or do I want it? I fought my way here, and if you don't make a move soon, I'm leaving!"

Compared to these puppets, he was more interested in the group of Yin Armor Ghost Soldiers.

It's important to understand that these Yin Armored Ghost Soldiers weren't the low-level ghosts he had dealt with before. The weakest among them were at the Nascent Soul stage, with most possessing the strength of the Divine Transformation stage. Xiao Wuji even spotted more than a dozen Ghost Kings at the Void Refinement stage among them.

If he could get the Five Hearts Demon to devour them all, and then with a little refining, he could cultivate five demons at the Void Refinement stage.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't be offended. We thought you were going to refine some kind of magic weapon again!" Madam Lan replied, feigning ignorance, in response to Xiao Wuji's question.

"Hmph!" Xiao Wuji snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything more. Firstly, this Madam Lan was his ghost, and secondly, he never intended to let Liuzu go, so he naturally didn't care about his attitude.

"Since Fellow Daoist Xiao has no intention of making a move, then I will take care of these people!"

Seeing that Xiao Wuji was unwilling to take action, Liuzu took on the task of dealing with the three Nascent Soul stage puppets all by himself.

Suddenly, six spiked feet emerged from beneath his black robe, resembling six short spears, and stabbed towards the three puppets in the distance, causing six gray streaks of light to burst forth.

The gray light flashed and disappeared in an instant, followed by a "poof" sound, and several through holes silently appeared on the three puppets.

"This is...? You're also a mayfly?"

The three purple-armored puppets glanced down at the holes in their bodies, then suddenly looked up, staring at the six-legged creature with disbelief.

This is a unique innate ability of their mayfly race, almost impossible for others to learn. But since he is a mayfly, why is he helping these outsiders? Could he be from another race with mayfly blood?

They knew the power of this supernatural ability, but they also knew its weaknesses.

The gray light seemed powerful, but it had a fatal flaw: once launched, it couldn't be turned and could only attack in a straight line. As long as you anticipated the black-robed man's movements in advance, dodging it wasn't difficult.

Originally, their mayfly clan possessed another great supernatural power, which contradicted this one. However, since the group was currently merely puppets, they were naturally unable to use this supernatural power.

However, the characteristics of the puppet body also gave them a lot more room for error.

A purple light flowed through their wounds, and the clear holes healed completely at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Liu Zu was not discouraged. Even without this supernatural power, it would be easy for him to deal with these puppets.

"It's a pity I don't know the Great Puppet Technique, otherwise I could easily take control of these puppets."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have a chance to deal with this puppet!"

Compared to metal-forged puppets, Xiao Wuji preferred the Heavenly Demon Puppet, which could be upgraded simply by absorbing lightning. Moreover, it did not require high technical skills, and the materials were relatively simple and easy to obtain compared to puppets of the same level.

He wouldn't mind taking a ready-made puppet if it were available, but unfortunately he doesn't have that ability right now.

With six legs to deal with the purple-armored puppet, Xiao Wuji was finally able to free up his hands to deal with the Yin-armored ghost soldiers.

The Five-Hearted Demon was originally forged from the divine bodies of the Five Elements Gods, and finally sealed within it the grand array of the Five Elements Demonic Arts. It can be separated or combined, and can be real or illusory.

However, the Five-Hearted Demon is far from being able to deal with those few Yin Armored Ghost Soldiers in the Void Refinement stage, so he has to take action himself.

Xiao Wuji flicked his fingertips, and golden arcs of lightning began to dance from them. To deal with evil spirits and ghosts, it was more appropriate to use the Evil-Repelling Divine Lightning.
