Uncle Nine: Starting with double pupils, he turned his master into a zombie.

Zhang Ren leaped lightly, dodging the sharp bone spikes that sprang from the ground.

"Young people are just impatient."

As they spoke, Zhang Ren made a hand seal.

The bewildered and shocked villagers around them suddenly began to tremble.

His skin turned pale, his body swelled up to burst through his clothes, and the light in his eyes disappeared, replaced by an instinctive ferocity!

"roar!!!"

A cacophony of roars erupted.

Countless villagers were transformed into corpses at this moment, all of whom possessed the strength of the late stage of Qi Refining!

The best among them are even at the peak of Qi Refining!

Upon seeing this, Li Yu couldn't help but feel a hint of regret in his eyes.

This ghoul does not provide Ascension power upon being killed.

He already knew when he killed that villager.

After all, these corpses do not possess the characteristics of living beings, but are creations of magic, similar to Li Yu's paper soldiers!

Countless ghouls swarmed in, and Uncle Nine drew his peach wood sword, ready to strike.

At that moment, Zhang Ren's voice rang out.

"Lin Jiu, these are all living, breathing people!"

"You disciples of Maoshan pride yourselves on being righteous and benevolent, how could you bring yourself to do this?"

Uncle Nine glanced at her coldly, and his voice, filled with anger and murderous intent, rang out.

"You think these corpse demons can hold me back? You're being far too naive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Nine slashed out with his peach wood sword.

A dazzling sword intent surged forth, instantly cleaving several corpse demons in half at the waist!

Zhang Ren couldn't help but feel a little regretful about this.

Wasn't Lin Jiu supposed to be pedantic and old-fashioned?

I thought these ghouls could hold him off, what a pity...

Just then, countless pale papers suddenly rained down from the sky.

In an instant, paper figures clad in armor and wielding weapons appeared!

He didn't hesitate to raise his knife against those ghouls!

In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and screams of agony echoed all around!

After Li Yu broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the paper soldiers he summoned all possessed the strength of the late Qi Refining stage!

If one doesn't care about the consumption of mana, it's not impossible for everyone to reach the peak of Qi Refining!

In the past, Li Yu would have let it go.

But after obtaining the Earthly Fiends Manual.

What's so great about magic power?

Suck! Suck it in hard!

And so... a group of terrifying paper soldiers at the peak of Qi Refining appeared!

The battle with those ghouls was like a regular army fighting bandits and refugees—it was a massacre!

Your claws and fangs can at most dent my armor, but the sword in my hand can truly cut off your head!

In an instant, the situation changed.

Uncle Nine looked at the corpses that were being hacked and howling, drew his sword and looked around blankly, unable to find an opportunity to make a move!

One can only sigh inwardly, Fellow Daoist Li truly has a multitude of tricks up his sleeve!

Seeing Zhang Ren's unpleasant expression, Li Yu chuckled and spoke.

"Old man, use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve, or you might not get another chance."

"Very well, very well, what a madman!"

"Spirit Slave, kill them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the earth split open.

A monster with four arms, a head like a tiger or leopard, and human faces constantly emerging from its skin, wailed with vengeful spirits. Its body structure was created from spiritual materials, and it crawled out of the earth!

His aura was mixed and fierce, indicating that he actually possessed the strength of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!

Instantly, Uncle Nine's pupils contracted sharply, and he cursed loudly.

"Using spiritual materials as the core, then infusing them with the flesh and blood of demons, imprisoning vengeful spirits and hateful souls..."

"Damn it, you bastard, how dare you create such a heinous puppet!"

Faced with Uncle Nine's anger, Zhang Ren revealed a smug smile.

"The disciples of Maoshan are truly different; they have excellent judgment!"

"Thank goodness you recognized it, otherwise I would have really had to give a proper presentation about my masterpiece!"

Slowly exhaling, suppressing his anger, Uncle Nine spoke in a heavy voice.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you block this puppet, and I will kill this feng shui master!"

"Need not."

Li Yu's calm voice rang out as he lightly patted the cloud-patterned pouch at his waist.

In an instant, yin energy surged forth, and malevolent energy swept in!

It made the world seem even darker!

A monster with a body two meters tall, unusually long limbs, and pale skin appeared!

Without needing any instructions, the master immediately charged at the puppet upon his arrival!

The giant hand ripped out and tore the puppet's flesh to shreds, even killing countless wailing souls within it!

The spirit slave let out a painful roar as he fought with his master.

But it's clear to anyone with eyes that the good master undoubtedly has the upper hand!

Uncle Nine's eyes widened, and he spoke in disbelief.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you also raise corpses?"

"It was just something I did."

Zhang Ren's eyes widened in shock at this moment.

"You zombie! You're just a white zombie, how dare you walk in the sunlight!"

Li Yu raised an eyebrow and spoke impatiently.

"There is no obligation to inform."

"Is the pet battle, like a cricket fight, over? If you still have any, throw them all out at once, don't waste time."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ren's face immediately turned red.

That bastard has double pupils!

He painstakingly created this perfect puppet over many years, and he calls it a pet? A cricket-fighting puppet?!

Zhang Ren wanted to say something more, but thinking of Li Yu's venomous tongue, he gave up.

With a wave of his hand, the demonic ape that had been causing trouble in Renjia Town stepped out.

However, compared to before.

At this moment, it was extremely weak.

Even his once upright posture had become hunched over, his body hair had turned dry and white, and his aura was extremely weak.

It's like being exhausted from taking too much water.

"Go, stop Lin Jiu."

Although the demon ape usually appears as Zhang Ren's consciousness vessel.

But in reality, it has its own consciousness!

Faced with Zhang Ren's order, the demon ape did not hesitate at all and immediately began to burn its life force!

It knew full well how powerful the Taoist priest before it was, and that if it didn't fight desperately, it would probably have no chance at all!

In an instant, the demonic ape's aura surged, its weak body instantly swelled up, its muscles bulged, and its demonic energy soared to the sky!

Seeing this, Uncle Nine was about to speak when Li Yu also waved his hand.

"Go, capture this monkey."

Uncle Nine: ? ? ?

No, I've become a pet?!

Looking at Zhang Ren and sensing the aura of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator emanating from him, Uncle Nine hesitated before speaking.

"Fellow Daoist Li, are you really capable?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just attack him. Oh, and remember to spare that demonic ape's life!"

"This is very important, you know?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Nine didn't say anything more, nodded in agreement, and rushed out.

The peach wood sword in his hand emitted a dazzling golden light, and the Maoshan Taoist magic was attached to it!

With a single sword strike, he sent the ape that had gone into a frenzy flying!

Stalemate? Confrontation?

nonexistent!

Logically speaking, a demon in the early stage of Foundation Establishment should burn its life force to explode.

Let alone a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, he could even fight a late-Foundation Establishment cultivator and would never have ended up in such a sorry state!

Unfortunately, standing before him was Lin Jiu, the one-eyebrowed Taoist priest from Renjia Town, who was one of the best among the 83rd generation disciples of Maoshan and had slain countless demons and monsters!

At this moment, Zhang Ren's face turned ugly.

The situation on the field was not favorable for him at this moment.

The ghoul was being beaten down by the paper soldiers, while the spirit slave was being hammered down by the eerie zombie.

The demon ape was utterly powerless against Uncle Nine!

But it doesn't matter anyway.

As long as we can defeat the double pupil in front of us, even if we lose everything, we can start over and even go further!

That's too arrogant! You're just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, how dare you fight me!
