Divine Eye Transcends Tribulation

Chapter 139: Demonic Puppet Demanding Life (V)

Those should be demon-shaped puppets, which had been hiding in the darkness where the candlelight could not reach. Now that their shapes were revealed, they retreated quickly and disappeared into the darkness again.

Although it was only for a moment, their horrifying appearance still frightened everyone. Although they had human form, their heads looked like ferocious beasts!

Even if they left the range of light, they stood at the edge where the light could not reach, their eyes reflecting the dim light, staring closely at the people who broke in.

  Click-click-click

The strange sound was getting closer and closer, and the light in front became brighter and brighter at this moment.

Those puppets with animal heads and human bodies did not make any attacking moves in the following time. They just kept surrounding them, as if urging everyone forward.

Half an incense stick later, the darkness around suddenly brightened. At this time, everyone came to a stone door and walked into it. A long passage appeared in their eyes. The passage was about four or five meters high, but less than a meter wide. The inner wall of the entire passage was very smooth, as if carved from ice and snow, and a faint blue light filled the entire passage.

There was another door at the end of the passage, but this door was half open. A strange creaking sound came from inside through the gap in the door.

The spiritual consciousness was crushed by the formation, and not only was the detection distance shortened, but it couldn't even penetrate the stone door.

The strong wind made everyone's clothes rustle. Looking back, the green candlelight on both sides of the road gathered into a dot in the distance.

It must be because of the wind, otherwise why would the candlelight in the distance go out? But if it was the wind, the candlelight would go out in such a regular pattern, from far to near, like the tide!

The black shadows gathered, and a black shadow flashed out while everyone was alert, and headed straight for Cai'er.

"Be careful!" Xiang Qi shouted. The black shadow moved so fast that only a trail of afterimages was left.

Cai'er's face turned pale and she dodged quickly. Even though she reacted quickly, the hot feeling on her shoulders still came, but the black shadow had disappeared.

With her cultivation level at the middle stage of Nascent Soul, she didn’t even see who the other person was!

Fortunately, Xiang Qi reminded him that his left shoulder injury was not serious.

The golden sword light slashed out and headed straight for the direction where the black shadow disappeared. It turned out to be Xiang Qi. After one sword, he did not stop moving. He raised his hand and pointed again, and the God and Demon Finger whizzed out.

  But after hearing a few loud bangs, Xiang Qi's face changed slightly, because neither of the two attacks hit the opponent!

While Ning Xiaoqiao was stopping Cai'er's bleeding, she did not forget to feed her two pills.

"I can't stand it anymore, Fiery Palm!" Behind the team, the raging flames turned into a giant palm and rushed straight towards the monster puppets with animal heads and human bodies in the darkness.

Being followed by these demon puppets with the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Jindan realm, and the other party is in a dark place, the invisible feeling of embarrassment is very annoying.

The palm wind blasted away, and the demon puppets hurriedly retreated. The giant palm slammed into the ground, exploding into endless flames. As soon as the flames dissipated, the demon puppets quickly followed again.

"What a bunch of bastards!" someone cursed.

The demon puppets were only about five or six feet away from them, just at the edge of their vision.

  Looking at the eyes flickering in the darkness, only one pair of eyes caught Xiang Qi's attention. The eyes of those demon puppets with animal heads and human bodies were at the same height, but this pair of eyes was obviously much higher than theirs!

The candles were extinguishing rapidly from far to near, and the surroundings were about to fall into darkness. Xiang Qi said to Ning Xiaoqiao and Cai'er, "Let's go!"

The three of them suddenly quickened their pace and rushed towards the light ahead.

Zhao Kui was slightly stunned, then followed, his lustful eyes lingering on Cai'er's exposed shoulders. Even in such a situation, he still looked despicable and mean.

Seeing Zhao Kui and the others moving forward, no one dared to stop and ran towards the light.

The demon puppet seemed to have received an order and immediately followed, falling five or six feet behind the team, like a leech attached to the bones, unable to be shaken off.

Panic enveloped everyone's hearts. It would have been fine if they had shown their bodies and fought, but this group of demon puppets just followed closely and even jumped out to attack from time to time. From the current situation, it seemed that everyone was being chased towards somewhere by this group of demon puppets.

"I can't stand it anymore, I'm going to fight these guys!" As soon as he finished speaking, spiritual power surged, and a sky-splitting axe appeared in his hand. He raised it high and smashed it down at the many puppets that were chasing him.

  This person's cultivation was already at the peak of Jindan. With this full-strength axe, a violent aura whistled away. As soon as the axe was thrown, the wind stopped!

The time here seemed to have stopped for a moment, as if thousands of axes were chopping down at the same time, bringing about a loud thunderous sound. With such a blow, even Cai'er, who was at the Nascent Soul stage, would look at him with surprise.

Everyone did not stop, but just took a quick look. Ning Xiaoqiao felt sorry for him, and heard Xiang Qi say, "Everyone should accept their fate. Since he chose to stop, he must have realized that he was going to die."

Not only Xiang Qi, these people all understand that whether they move forward or stop, the danger is there.

Stop. Even if you can get rid of these demon puppets behind you, can you walk out of the secret realm of the demon mansion?

I'm afraid the other five teams won't be much better than them. Even if they can keep the six people of the Purple Moon Sect safe, they have lost the lives of so many monks and not even got a magic weapon or elixir. Isn't that laughable?

Continue forward, although it is extremely dangerous, but if you can find magic weapons, elixirs, or secret manuals of martial arts, it will be worth the trip. In Xiang Qi's opinion, this person seems heroic, but he is actually cowardly. Such behavior is just that he can't bear the pressure here and brings humiliation upon himself.

After the thunder-like explosion, no more sound was heard. This powerful blow seemed to hit the void, just like a faint candle flame, being swallowed up by the darkness.

When he looked back, the boundless darkness was like a huge mouth, swallowing up the man.

The full-strength attack from a Jindan peak master was like a drop in the ocean, without causing any ripples. The ones who could do this were definitely not those Jindan demon puppets!

"Brother Xiang, I have forgotten about the three-generation hexagram of the Kan Palace when I first entered the door. Although it is auspicious, everything will turn around when it reaches its extreme. The yin and yang are reversed, which is a sign of good turning into bad!" Zou Li smiled, but the smile seemed a little bleak.

Xiang Qi was alert all around but did not respond. The light in front of him was getting brighter and brighter. Seeing the darkness spreading behind him, Xiang Qi pushed Ning Xiaoqiao and Cai'er hard, grabbed Zou Li, and rushed into the light. After the two of them, everyone else followed in.

Compared to everyone else, Zou Li did not hesitate at all. This time, the six people from his Zi Yue Sect came to the secret realm of demon cultivation only for those few materials. Under this circumstance, they had no choice but to move forward.

Zhao Kui walked to the wall, hesitated briefly, and then a look of joy appeared on his face. Before everyone could see clearly, they saw that Zhao Kui had something in his hand, and then it flashed with light and was put into the storage ring.

Glancing at Xiang Qi and the others not far away, Zhao Kui chuckled and continued walking deeper into the passage.

Xiang Qi frowned slightly, and when he focused his attention on the walls on both sides of the passage, he suddenly discovered that there was a niche every few feet on this dark blue wall.

These niches are so small, coupled with the dim blue light here, that it is difficult to find them without careful observation. However, there is something placed in each of these niches.

In the niche closest to him, the green pill was emitting a little fluorescence. Although there was no fragrance, the spiritual power fluctuations were extremely strong. In just a moment, many people discovered these niches. For a moment, they swarmed and rushed straight to the niches.

Cai'er wanted to rush forward but was stopped by Xiang Qi. Just as she was about to ask a question, she saw a black shadow rushing towards her like a ghost, following the wall from the corner of her eye.

"It's him again!" Cai'er snorted coldly. Although she couldn't see the other person clearly, judging from his breath, this black shadow was the guy who had hurt her before.

This time, the black shadow was running towards someone else, and at the same time, there was a sound of breaking air behind him. Those demon puppets that were originally hiding in the darkness rushed in one by one.

The ghostly black shadow caused several cultivators to fall to the ground wherever it passed, and the black shadow had already come behind Zhao Kui.

No one knew what was behind the door. Before everyone could fully adapt to the light here, a sudden scream made everyone's nerves tense again. Blood splattered, and the last few people in the team were dragged into the darkness in an instant. The blood followed the direction of the dragging, leaving several shocking bloodstains on the ground.

It should be the work of those demon puppets in the Jindan stage with animal heads and human bodies. After everyone entered this passage, the aura of those demon puppets no longer restrained. The aura was no weaker than that of the middle stage of Jindan, and there were no less than a hundred of them, falling not far behind everyone.

"They seem to be intentionally driving us here." Zou Li said thoughtfully, but his eyes were looking at the door at the end of the passage. If this was true, the most dangerous one was not the demon puppets behind him, but the guy behind the door!

"Hmph, who cares? He's been here for so long, where's the magic weapon?" Zhao Kui said arrogantly and dissatisfiedly, looking at Zou Li questioningly.

Seeing that Zou Li didn't answer, Zhao Kui snorted coldly, left the team, and headed towards the front of the passage at lightning speed, saying, "Everyone, let's just accept our fate. I can't protect you!"

"Zhao Kui, you..."
