They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 70 Destroying Zhang Kuang and Beating the Three Corpses (4000 words, please recommend and read further)
Dan Lei's search for the Four Madmen went very smoothly.

Although fighting was taking place everywhere on Longhu Mountain and many buildings were on fire, the most intense Qi waves were concentrated in two places.

One place is deep within the Celestial Master's Mansion, where Zhang Zhiwei's Qi is located. He seems to be passing on the Celestial Master's teachings to Zhang Chulan, and it's not yet time for him to break through Zhang Chulan's defenses and interrupt him with a single sentence.

Another place was in the forest of Longhu Mountain. After Lu Jin activated the Reverse Life Triple, the white Qi Flame was very obvious. Moreover, Yuan Tao and Han Dan'er were leading him towards the Four Madmen. So, following the route, they discovered the Four Madmen lying in ambush in the woods.

Now that the target had appeared, Dan Lei didn't hold back and directly used the Tyrannosaurus Rex puppet and two gorilla puppets to deliver justice from the sky.

The Four Madmen of Quanxing are certainly not weak in the world of the supernatural, but in reality, they are not known for their hard power, but for their ability to stimulate human weaknesses and use them to the extreme.

Therefore, the four didn't realize the attack until the whistling sound of the Danlei puppet was right above their heads.

Fortunately, the four of them were not too bad at fighting. Although they did not observe what was falling from the sky, they all jumped away in time, so they were not directly defeated by the impact of the Tyrannosaurus Rex puppet and the gorilla puppet landing.

However, Dan Lei had already started calling out names.

Dan Lei stood atop the Tyrannosaurus Rex puppet, looking down at the four arrogant figures around him. Empowered by the power of his destiny, he coldly spoke...

"【Intestinal Poison】Dou Mei, 【Bone-Scraping Knife】Xia He, 【Root of Calamity】Shen Chong, 【Thunder Smoke Cannon】Gao Ning, the four madmen of Quanxing are all here."

However, tonight is the last night of your existence, you four madmen of the Quanxing Sect. After manipulating people's hearts for so many years, do you have any last words?

As soon as Dan Lei spoke, the four madmen knew who had come to their door, and their faces turned pale.

The fact that the spirit Li Tongchen almost defeated Zhang Zhiwei is no secret in the world of supernatural beings. While the Bajiquan disciples outside are celebrating, they are already flipping through the lineage records to prove whether they are his Nth generation descendant. If the four of them encounter him, they will die if they don't run.

However, it is common sense that flying is faster than running, and the four people here are not known for their agility, so they simply cannot outrun the flying puppet.

Fortunately, Gao Ning, the [Thunder Smoke Cannon], quickly spotted the blind spot and immediately shouted...

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have good news and bad news!"

The good news is that I've confirmed that only Dan Lei is currently present in my Twelve Labors Formation; the spirit Li Tongchen is likely not there.

The bad news is, Danlei's emotions give me the feeling that they're buried deep within a non-Newtonian fluid, making them very difficult to interpret.

After Gao Ning finished speaking, Dou Mei immediately added...

"My abilities seem to be ineffective; this person seems not to need to breathe."

Xia He remained silent, as she was the only one among the four who had fought Dan Lei before and knew that her abilities were ineffective against him. Right now, she was only thinking about how to escape.

However, upon hearing that Dan Lei had come alone, Shen Chong felt as if the rain had stopped, the sky had cleared, and he was ready to go again. He channeled his Qi, leaped forward, threw a punch at Dan Lei, and roared...
"Since he's all alone, what are we afraid of! Go to hell!"

However, Shen Chong's punch was met with a metal fist half his size.

At this moment, Dan Lei had entered the puppet testing phase, and the giant fist of the gorilla puppet, containing the power of imaginary numbers, blasted towards Shen Chong.

Due to the limitations of Earth's materials, this ape puppet's punch is definitely not comparable to the Golden Gatekeeper's blow, nor can it compare to the punch from the Abundant Spirit Beast Changyou.

Danlei's goal is simply to effectively kill ordinary larvae and secondary larvae.

Shen Chong's physical strength certainly cannot be compared with that of a young or secondary hibernating insect with a full-body armor, but his Qi effectively enhances his impact and defense, so overall, they are roughly the same.

However, in terms of energy, the two sides can still be compared, but in terms of quality, there is an absolute gap.

The gorilla puppet weighed several tons, and Shen Chong was sent flying by a single punch. His fist was severely deformed and smashed several trees.

The only result was that the gorilla puppet's fist armor was dented.

And to make matters worse, Yuan Tao and Han Dan'er led Lu Jin and Zhang Lingyu to this place, causing them to stumble into the battle.

Shen Chong was really unlucky; the direction he flew backwards was the same direction Yuan Tao had rushed out of the woods.

While fleeing at high speed, Yuan Tao saw a dark figure flying towards him. Thinking it was a sneak attack, he naturally threw out a magic weapon, the [Chaofeng] Bead, which hit the figure directly in the waist, sending him flying a second time.

It can be said that Shen Chong, who had just landed, was half dead from being attacked from both sides and was unable to get up from the ground.

When Yuan Tao finally grasped the situation, he was completely stunned and immediately shouted in disbelief.

"Gao Ning! Dou Mei! Xia He! What's going on with you all?! You even messed with that scoundrel Dan Lei?"

However, the three of them didn't answer Yuan Tao's question at all, but instead turned around and ran away.

What a joke! Dan Lei with his puppet, which is completely unaffected by his own powers, is already a nightmare. Now, with Lu Jin and Zhang Lingyu added to the mix, what kind of fight is this?

Seeing this, Dan Lei immediately finished off Shen Chong with a wind blade, then addressed the two who had just arrived.

"Senior Lu, I'll leave Yuan Tao to you. You can settle your grudges yourselves."

Zhang Lingyu, don't say I didn't give you the head. Xia He, you go and take care of it.

I'll handle the rest, Dou Mei and Gao Ning.

After saying that, Dan Lei rode his flying sword straight towards Gao Ning, while the three puppets went after Dou Mei.

Lu Jin and Zhang Lingyu had no objection to Dan Lei's arrangements.

Lu Jin and Yuan Tao's feud wasn't something that had just started, so he naturally agreed to settle things properly with his old rival.

When Zhang Lingyu saw Xia He, he was naturally afraid that Dan Lei would turn around and ruthlessly destroy her with his flying sword, so he quickly chased after Xia He, preparing to drive her away from the mountain.

Of course, Zhang Lingyu was overthinking it. Even if Dan Lei had already killed Dou Mei and Gao Ning, he wouldn't go looking for Xia He.

[Lei Yanpao] Gao Ning appears to be a kind-faced, fat monk, but in reality, he is ruthless and enjoys manipulating his opponents' emotions.

In the original story, Dan Lei was extremely displeased when he used his cultivation technique to incite Hu Jie to kill his own father, so he needed to pay the price for his past actions.

Moreover, this guy was quite fast; using the terrain of the woods, Dan Lei actually spent quite a bit of effort to catch up with him.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Gao Ning could only shout in utter confusion.

"Benefactor Danlei, this humble monk has never offended you, why are you pressing me so hard!"

However, Dan Lei did not reply. After getting close by on his flying sword, he used his ice sword to sever Dan Lei's Achilles tendons twice, causing Dan Lei to fall to the ground.

Then, he grabbed his head with one hand and used both hands to read out the Twelve Labors Formation.

Finally, Dan Lei used his dual-wielding blue hand to trigger the greatest fear in Gao Ning's soul, scaring him to death.

After it was all over, good news also came from the Tyrannosaurus Rex puppet side. Dou Mei had been blasted into mincemeat by the gorilla puppet's anti-aircraft gun in combination with the Tyrannosaurus Rex puppet's imaginary energy cannon.

Of the four madmen of Quanxing, only Xia He remains, which means they are now extinct.

However, the battle on Longhu Mountain was not over.

Dan Lei had just reunited with his puppet when he heard a woman's scream from afar.

Dan Lei recognized the voice; it was Zhi Jinhua's voice. It seemed that Lu Linglong and Zhi Jinhua had encountered the Quanxing group led by Tu Junfang, the "Three Corpses," just like in the original story.

Dan Lei was somewhat interested in Tu Junfang.

However, Dan Lei's interest in him wasn't in his ability to summon his own three corpses, but rather pure curiosity; he wanted to see what other people's three corpses were like.

It needs to be clarified here that the Taoist Three Corpses are not the same as the Three Corpses in cultivation novels.

In cultivation novels, the "slaying of the three corpses" refers to the good corpse, the evil corpse, and the ego. Slaying the three corpses can lead to the attainment of the Great Dao.

The Taoist Three Corpses are also called the Three Insects, Three Pengs, Three Corpse Gods, and Three Poisons. The Upper Corpse loves finery, the Middle Corpse loves delicious food, and the Lower Corpse loves lust.

Taoism believes that cutting off the "three corpses" means cutting off evil desires, which is also known as being tranquil and without desires, having a calm mind and clear spirit, accumulating good deeds, and thus becoming an immortal.

So, Dan Lei rode the Tyrannosaurus Rex puppet and once again launched it into a rocket leap to the battlefield where Lu Linglong and Zhi Jinhua were.

Dan Lei has truly received divine justice this time.

The Quanxing group led by Tu Junfang was uneven in skill level. They relied on Tu Junfang to maintain order and then bullied Lu Linglong and Zhi Jinhua because they were outnumbered.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex puppet and the gorilla puppet knocked a group of people to the ground with a single blow.

Then Dan Lei directly ordered the gorilla puppet to fire the anti-aircraft gun in a horizontal, rapid-fire motion, instantly turning 70% of the Quanxing who were besieging the two into mincemeat.

After finishing, taking advantage of the moment when the survivors were feeling relieved, Dan Lei instantly appeared behind Bian Min, who was pressing down on Zhi Jinhua.

Before he could react, he was beheaded with a single sword stroke.

After kicking the corpse away, Dan Lei used magic thread to pull out the steel spikes stuck in Zhi Jinhua's hands and feet. After treating her, he joked...
"Zhi Jinhua, although you have a good figure, it would be better for you to stand up now. The battle is not over yet."

However, when Zhi Jinhua looked up, she found that none of the Quanxing corpses around her were intact, and she herself was covered in Bian Min's blood.

In this environment, the weak side of Zhi Jinhua's personality erupted. She felt that Dan Lei was very scary, so she scrambled to Lu Linglong's side, then hugged her tightly, trembling all over, burying her head behind her back, not daring to look at Dan Lei at all.

Seeing this, Dan Lei could only shake his head helplessly, and then shouted loudly.

"Zhang Chulan, stop peeking around! You're in charge of looking after Lu Linglong and Zhi Jinhua. Move them to a safe place!"

Yes, just like in the original story, Zhang Chulan had already given up the Heavenly Master's inheritance and gone out to find Feng Baobao. When Lu Linglong and Zhi Jinhua were besieged, he hid in the surrounding trees.

When Dan Lei pointed it out, Zhang Chulan stopped hiding. After all, given Dan Lei's temper, if he kept hiding, he would be forcibly dragged out.

When Dan Lei saw Zhang Chulan come out, he said directly...

"Zhang Chulan, don't look so reluctant. Your Bao'er is much stronger than you. If you really encounter an enemy that she can't defeat, you'll just be feeding her."

So, let me act as your protector and escort the two young ladies to safety.

After speaking, Dan Lei looked at Tu Junfang, waved his hand, and three puppets surrounded him. He then took off on his flying sword and said...

“Three corpses against three puppets, Tu Junfang, isn’t this battle fair?”

However, Tu Junfang looked at the three puppets surrounding him, his eyes gleaming with dark energy, and muttered a curse.

"Fairness is nonsense. As expected, we shouldn't have come to Longhu Mountain."

Tu Junfang is right. The puppet definitely doesn't have the Three Corpses to summon. Dan Lei has flown to a high altitude again, so most of his methods have become ineffective, which is naturally unfair.

However, even though Tu Junfang knew that this battle was inevitable, a thick, black "substance" that resembled smoke and vapor still gushed out from his body.

These things fell to the ground and quickly swelled up, forming monsters with soft, rotten bodies and enormous heads.

Seeing this, Dan Lei ordered the gorilla puppet to fire the anti-aircraft gun again in a horizontal, rapid-fire mode.

However, without saying a word, Tu Junfang left the three corpses behind and rushed into the woods behind.

The explosive rune bullet struck his three corpses, instantly blasting them apart.

But just like a slime, its body could regenerate quickly, and it managed to block all the bullets aimed at Tu Junfang.

Moreover, after it was over, the three corpses took flight and pounced directly onto the Tyrannosaurus Rex puppet.

The moment the three corpses landed on the Tyrannosaurus Rex puppet, Dan Lei noticed the corrosion it caused to the puppet's metal body.

With modern materials, Danlei could not possibly protect such a large puppet entirely with imaginary energy; imaginary energy could only cover a few parts used for attack.

Therefore, for areas like the thighs and torso, the Tyrannosaurus Rex golem really relied solely on metal armor for protection.

The ability of an extraordinary person's Qi to influence and corrode metal is not a particularly rare ability.

Moreover, Tu Junfang's three corpses were clearly unusual.

So Dan Lei stopped chasing Tu Junfang and instead used various elements to try to knock the three corpses off the Tyrannosaurus Rex puppet.

Here, Dan Lei dared not use magic threads or magical transformation methods, for fear that the three corpses would directly follow the materialized magic to his body.

Dan Lei was self-aware enough to know that his three corpses were not yet at the point where they could be severed. Once activated, his future would certainly not be easy.

So after being baptized by various elements, Dan Lei discovered that fire and lightning were much more effective against the Three Corpses than other elements.

Using the power of thunder and fire, Dan Lei successfully knocked Tu Junfang's three corpses off the Tyrannosaurus Rex puppet.

However, since Dan Lei was too busy studying the Three Corpses, Tu Junfang had already run far away.

After the three corpses landed, they disappeared on the spot, clearly having been retrieved by the user.

In this battle, the Tyrannosaurus Rex golem suffered severe damage to its body, with all its armor destroyed, revealing the internal metal skeleton. Although it could still move, it was clearly no longer suitable for fighting.

However, having seen what the Three Corpses looked like and gained a preliminary understanding of their attributes, Dan Lei felt that he hadn't lost out.

Meanwhile, the war eagle puppet that had been sent out to monitor Tian Jinzhong sent back a message.

A large number of Quanxing began to besiege the courtyard where Tian Jinzhong was located, and the guards arranged by Zhang Zhiwei were defeated one after another.

Moreover, it seems that Gong Qing had drugged the guards beforehand, as many of these Longhu Mountain disciples trembled and fainted after only a few blows.

Dan Lei knew that if he wanted to save Tian Jinzhong's life, he couldn't linger here any longer, so he deliberately said to Zhang Chulan and the other two who hadn't left yet...
"Oh no, my Warhawk Puppet tells me that Elder Tian is being besieged by the Quanxing Sect."

Zhang Chulan, I'm going to rescue them immediately. After you've settled Linglong and the others, don't go looking for Feng Baobao. Go find the Old Master. I suspect that the Quanxing Sect's purpose in attacking the mountain is Elder Tian."

After saying that, Dan Lei took off on the broken Tyrannosaurus Rex puppet without waiting for Zhang Chulan's reply.

Once high in the sky, he used a displacement spell to switch his position with the war eagle puppet, then activated the Cloud Chant spell to observe the situation below.

　The author checked and found that the Twelve Labors Formation is not an innate supernatural ability.
