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

Chapter 224 Success
Yingu Mountains!

In the mountains, a golden-armored puppet was fighting three demon kings alone, seemingly having the upper hand despite being outnumbered.

This golden-armored puppet is much stronger than the purple-armored puppet from before, but it is only barely on par with one of the demon kings.

What enabled it to hold back the three demon kings was the gleaming silver guillotine that surrounded it.

None of the six-legged, three-person team dared to directly withstand the attack of this magical weapon.

But the golden-armored puppet grew increasingly anxious. After all, the Five Dragon Guillotine wasn't his magic weapon; he had only borrowed it temporarily and refined it superficially. He couldn't control it at will, and it not only consumed a great deal of his spiritual energy but also made it difficult to unleash the full power of this treasure. If this continued, he feared that before anyone could come to his aid, he would run out of magic power and have to flee.

But before leaving, he wanted to give it one last shot!
The Five Dragon Guillotine suddenly stopped in front of him, its blade trembling slightly and emitting a piercing hum. Then the Five Dragon Guillotine multiplied into three, then into nine, forming nine real guillotines.

The next moment, the nine guillotines flickered and disappeared from their original spot. When they reappeared, they were in groups of three, diagonally inserted into the void around the three people.

"cut!"

At the command of the golden-armored puppet, nine guillotines simultaneously unleashed boundless sword energy, pouring down upon the three demon kings who were surrounded within.

This is not a formation, but a divine power inherent in the Five Dragon Guillotine. Combined with the Five Dragon Guillotine's extremely sharp nature, very few people can withstand it.

Despite being surrounded by swords, Mu Qing and Madam Lan remained calm. They had already been informed of the power of this treasure by Xiao Wuji and had been taught the corresponding techniques.

A black light array appeared beneath Mu Qing's feet, and then with a flash of black light, he instantly escaped from the sword array.

Madam Lan reacted even faster, casually activating a talisman hanging on her wrist, and then she too appeared outside the sword formation.

Unlike Mu Qing, her talisman was a teleportation talisman obtained from Xiao Wuji, a failed attempt by Xiao Wuji to imitate the Lesser Teleportation Talisman. Although a failure, it could still teleport within a radius of several miles.

Unlike the two who easily escaped the crisis, Liuzu is facing the biggest crisis of his life.

The blade energy poured down, but the six-legged creature had no way to dodge it. The three defensive magic treasures it casually threw out were instantly cut into pieces.

"Damn it!"

The six-legged creature's expression hardened, its eyes flashing with a fierce light, making even the golden-armored puppet shudder.

The next moment, countless mayflies, each less than an inch long, flew out from the six-legged man's wide black robe and flew out of the sword formation. As these mayflies separated, the six-legged man's body became more and more illusory, until finally only his black robe remained, drifting down into the air and being cleaved into pieces by countless sword energies.

Amidst the flashing blades and swirling insect shadows, countless mayflies were slain, but nearly half of them survived and successfully broke through the blade formation.

These mayflies gathered again in mid-air, eventually intertwining to form a bizarre humanoid shape. This person had a pair of huge compound eyes that flashed red light, and six pairs of spike-like legs on each side of their body. The lower body appeared no different from that of an ordinary person, but it was unusually long and slender.

Liuzu was furious. He had originally intended to take the Styx God's Milk and leave, but now he was determined to take its life!

This splitting technique was already exhausting, and it had just wiped out nearly half of his avatars. Now, let alone breaking through to a higher realm, it was uncertain whether he could even maintain his current level. As for the golden-armored puppet, all it could think about now was escaping. In order to unleash the power of the Five Dragon Guillotine, it had almost exhausted all the magic power stored in the puppet, and it was completely powerless against the enraged six-legged creature.

He's no longer thinking about getting the treasure back; he's thinking about how to save his life.

Soon, the two chased and fled, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

Mu Qing and the other person exchanged a glance and walked together in one direction.

……

Xiao Wuji looked at the crystal-tempering brick in his hand with some disbelief. He hadn't expected to get his hands on it so easily.

In his original plan, he should have joined forces with Mu Qing and the other person to kill the six-legged creature before he could obtain the item. The fact that he got it so easily was almost unbelievable.

Furthermore, what's the meaning behind the six-legged creature chasing after that puppet? Does it not want to break through?

Recalling the six-legged creature's miserable state, Mu Qing couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "The six-legged creature was severely injured and it will take hundreds of years to recover. Under such circumstances, it naturally wouldn't dare to take the Styx Divine Milk from my hands!"

"On the contrary, we sisters had to worry about him poisoning us. Now that we've run away with that puppet, it's all over!"

"Luckily, I managed to secure the right to preserve this item, otherwise I'd probably have to chase after it now!"

Xiao Wuji was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then thought about it carefully and realized it was indeed true. In the end, he could only sigh and say, "So be it, it's all fate!"

"If he hadn't escaped, he would have surely died. Now that he's escaped, he still has a glimmer of hope. I hope he doesn't run off. I accidentally wandered into some big shot's cave. I'm afraid I'll be captured and made a guard beast!"

"Now that we have the goods, it's time to figure out how to leave!"

Xiao Wuji had already collected the two women's belongings into the Abyss Small World. After all, he had no intention of letting them go back. If they continued to stay in the Abyss, they would never be able to break through to the Mahayana stage in their lifetime.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they are only one step away from success; on the path of cultivation, this is an insurmountable barrier!
Xiao Wuji touched his brow, and his Void Eyes shone with boundless light, like a divine sword piercing the void. A grand formation faintly took shape in the void, but ultimately stopped abruptly for unknown reasons!

"Mu Qing, help me!"

At Xiao Wuji's command, Mu Qing flashed behind him, placed his palms on Xiao Wuji's shoulder blades, and a surge of powerful magic power flowed into Xiao Wuji's body. Then, it was refined into his special Burning Technique magic power by the strange fire.

With the support of this magical power, Xiao Wuji finally completed the outline of the formation. Then, Xiao Wuji grabbed the arms of the two women, flashed into the void, stepped onto the light formation, and with a flash of light, all three of them disappeared without a trace.
