The road is vague

Chapter 459 Spirit Thread Puppet
"Did the human race of the ancient world of mountains and seas really join forces with these spirit races?"

A question inevitably arose in Lianyi's mind.

Her understanding of ancient history is among the best in the Great Qian Kingdom.

In the blink of an eye, she had followed Li Mo and arrived at their target location.

As Li Mo unleashed the Flowing Gold and Fire Sword, the Spiritual Order continuously radiated outwards, like a small sun purifying everything. The low-level spirit race members nearby who had no time to escape were instantly reduced to ashes.

Lianyi glanced sideways at the black dog monster.

"This is not his natal magic weapon, but the power of order it contains is top-notch. It's hard to imagine that this person is a cultivator from the same era as Lü Cuicui."

The thought flashed through my mind and disappeared in an instant.

"Roar!"

"Kill..."

Seeing the many fire spirits around the fire butterfly roaring and charging towards it, all of them possessing the cultivation of the Golden Core stage, Lianyi immediately shot out one invisible spiritual thread after another.

These spiritual threads are a secret technique used by puppeteers to enhance the strength of their puppets through the empowerment of their own spiritual energy.

But now, when ripples are unleashed, they transform into a different kind of order.

These Fire Spirits, whose cultivation level was equivalent to the Golden Core stage, had a combat casting range far inferior to that of Nascent Soul cultivators. As they charged closer, their spiritual threads had already seeped into their bodies, and their souls and consciousness had silently begun to invade.

The Fire Spirit Clan, who were ready to die just a moment ago, suddenly froze and became unable to move.

This time, Li Mo's Golden Fire Sword ignored the miscellaneous soldiers and went straight for the Fire Butterfly.

"Such pure order of fire."

The fire butterfly felt a pang of envy as it sensed the power of the Flowing Gold Sword.

Then she flapped her wings, and a large amount of crystalline light shimmered and scattered in all directions.

The moment the Flowing Gold and Fire Sword came into contact with these points of light, it was met with a series of violent "boom" explosions, thus hindering its progress.

Li Mo focused his gaze on the points of light.

He discovered that this seemed to be a kind of brilliance tending towards a subtle, hidden, and highly explosive order, and immediately shared the information with Ripples.

"Be careful to protect yourself, and don't let her spiritual light invade your body. Drink!"

He gave a low shout.

The spiritual order of the Flowing Gold and Fiery Sword suddenly bloomed in all directions.

The countless points of light released by the fire butterfly nearby exploded at the same moment, causing the vast sky to be distorted by the dense shockwave, which even reached the ground through the great array, causing hundreds of houses in Fire Spirit City to collapse.

The fire butterfly, like a spirit, danced gracefully, scattering shimmering light along its path, and charged towards Li Mo, leaving behind a magnificent trail filled with the aura of death.

Li Mo instinctively sensed the danger posed by these dazzling trails, as well as the restraint that the Spiritual Order exerted over these crystalline lights.

"I don't need to breathe."

After saying that, Lianyi used the spirit thread to completely transform those fire spirits into her puppets, then turned around and attacked the fire butterfly.

The fire butterfly was briefly stunned.

She was clearly shocked by the rebellion of her subordinates and realized that they were likely under some kind of control. However, she was already focused on dealing with the Flowing Gold and Fire Sword and could not spare any attention to identify and rescue them. Although she was reluctant, she had no choice but to act ruthlessly.

"Elder, she's controlling me! No... Ah!"

The fire top let out a scream, and countless cracks suddenly appeared on its body. With a sudden burst of intense light, it instantly turned into countless fragments.

"what?"

Almost instantly, the two puppets exploded from the inside out, and Lianyi couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

She had clearly taken precautions.

"It seems that those spiritual lights do not only enter the body through breathing, but also mix with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and enter the body."

She concluded thoughtfully.

In that case, it would indeed be somewhat threatening if the other party got close.

"kindness."

Through his Eye of the Dao, Li Mo perceived the general order and naturally discovered the dangers within it.

Fortunately, the Spiritual Illumination Order of the Flowing Gold and Fire Sword has a good restraining effect on these spiritual lights with hidden explosive properties. Once affected by the Spiritual Illumination Order, they will be detonated quickly and will not be able to silently invade the protective spiritual light.

So he immediately formed hand seals and summoned the Flowing Gold and Fire Sword back.

It was as if a small sun stood overhead, and the spiritual order quickly covered the surroundings. Fire butterflies danced around the two of them, and violent "boom" and "boom" explosions echoed continuously in the air.

Any hidden spiritual light from the other party that gets close will quickly explode under the influence of the spiritual order.

Crack!

Li Mo first extended his right hand, and the Five Elements Ring flashed and captured the fire butterfly. He then unleashed a bolt of lightning. However, the fire butterfly was a pure fire-attribute, formless spirit, and the Five Elements Ring's restrictive effect was completely ineffective, causing the subsequent lightning strike to be easily dodged by the fire butterfly.

Li Mo frowned, as his lightning spells, though repeated attempts, were not very effective.

Just as he was about to use the lightning crystal within his body, he discovered that Lianyi seemed to have made some progress, which immediately surprised him.

After several more of the puppet servants controlled by Ripple died, she began to try to manipulate the spirit threads and directly invade the body of the fire butterfly.

She had expected to experience some setbacks, but to her surprise, the other party was completely unprepared.

The fire butterfly's movements quickly slowed down, but it still couldn't figure out why. It looked at Ripples with a look of horror.

"you……"

Her instinct was to escape back to the great formation and enjoy its protective power.

"It seems that the human race on the Aolai Continent has not developed similar methods."

Lianyi said with some surprise.

The sky suddenly brightened, and Li Mo summoned the Heavenly Mystic Needle. To avoid any unforeseen complications, he was preparing to launch a fatal attack on the Nascent Soul level Fire Spirit Clan member when two Fire Spirit tentacles suddenly appeared on the city's protective formation. Each tentacle was a hundred feet long and came crashing down with the force of tearing through the air.

One of the fire spirit tentacles blocked the Heavenly Mystic Needle perfectly.

"drink!"

Li Mo shot out two bolts of lightning, shattering the newly formed fire spirit tentacles.

Immediately afterwards, another Fire Spirit, resembling a spiky ball, rushed out of Fire Spirit City and arrived at the edge of the great formation, attempting to snatch back the Fire Butterfly.

After the Heavenly Divine Needle failed to achieve its goal, Li Mo noticed this Spirit Clan member.

His figure instantly transformed into lightning and vanished abruptly, reappearing above the Fire Spirit's head. He extended five fingers, and the Five Thunder Dust Transformation Technique descended from the sky.

The fire spirit immediately let out a shrill scream.

"what……"

At this time.

Hundreds of Fire Spirits surged forward, huddled together in a chaotic mass, roaring and charging forward in a frenzy.

Just as Li Mo was about to unleash the Thunder Dragon in the Sky technique to try and defeat it head-on, he heard Lianyi let out a delighted laugh.

"It's done!"

To Li Mo's astonishment, the fire butterfly swiftly swept through the air, scattering a large amount of shimmering light.

Hundreds of Fire Spirits who came to the rescue were reduced to ashes in a dense explosion in just a short while. The fire butterfly had become a puppet controlled by Ripple, which surprised even Li Mo.

Uh...

A horn sounded from within Fire Spirit City.

"not good!"

Li Mo and Lianyi reacted quickly, their figures flashing as they swiftly left the airspace.

A dense mass of spiritual light quickly enveloped the area where the two had just been, and the Fire Spirits who had been fighting at the edge of the formation flew back into the formation to defend themselves using its power.

Except for the Golden Crow Array Spirit, which was engaged in a fierce battle with Thunderclap Hermit, all the Fire Spirit Clan members quickly retreated.

Li Mo and Lianyi exchanged a glance.

Li Mo could easily see Lianyi's unexpected delight; controlling the fire butterfly puppet so easily was truly beyond his expectations.

night.

The scattered people all looked at Lianyi, their expressions showing surprise.

Although we failed to break through Fire Spirit City in one fell swoop today, we greatly dampened the morale of the Fire Spirit Clan here. In particular, this fire butterfly was unable to escape back into Fire Spirit City. These four strange creatures of Yuan City are indeed not to be underestimated!

"Hehe, no wonder you're a puppet master."

As the Fairy of the Moon spoke, she kept sticking out her forked tongue like a venomous snake, which was probably a side effect of some kind of secret technique.

"We can even control this Fire Spirit Clan member whose cultivation is comparable to the Nascent Soul stage. With the support of this puppet, the balance of power will shift, and we will be able to launch a forced attack on the city tomorrow. Hmph."

Li Chun and Yan Shaoqing also revealed expressions of longing.

After the city fell, they naturally wanted to plunder it extensively to make up for the hardships they had endured over the past month of running around the area and trying to build up a large human army.

Jing Lei Sanren picked up Jiu Jian Sanren's fine wine, took a big gulp, and let out a long, drawn-out "ha!"

"We will surely conquer this city tomorrow!"

Say it.

He smashed the large bowl in his hand to show his determination.
