Cultivating Immortality: I Have a High-Martial World

Chapter 173 Crushing, a force of 50,000 tons!

In the blink of an eye, Lin Chen rushed to the puppet Luo Ming.

Holding the knife in both hands, Lin Chen swooped down from his high position.

The blade strikes out with ten times the force, its power immense!

The force of this strike exceeded forty million jin!

Faced with this terrifying strike, the puppet Luo Ming remained expressionless.

He held two red spears in his hand, still blocking in front of him.

boom!

After the knife and gun clashed.

The immense force caused the ground to sink significantly.

The blade struck the gun barrel, and they remained locked in a stalemate for a long time.

Finally, Lin Chen sheathed his sword and retreated, leaping ten zhang away.

This attack was evenly matched.

Lin Chen took a deep breath, a look of shock in his eyes.

Just how strong is this puppet?

Between battles, Lin Chen glanced at the other battlefields.

At this moment, Wu Xingkui and Chen Danxin were locked in a fierce battle, their strength evenly matched.

Although Wu Xingkui is better at controlling puppets, he is also quite powerful in combat, even though he is a ninth-level Golden Core cultivator.

On the demonic cultivators' side, there were still eight Golden Core cultivators, all at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

The other seven puppets, each at the Core Formation stage, were also quite powerful.

However, compared to the Righteous Alliance, they are clearly at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

Apart from the deceased Cai family patriarch, the remaining nineteen Golden Core cultivators steadily suppressed these demonic cultivators.

Meanwhile, Lin Chen's martial arts puppet was also there to provide support...

"It seems the Righteous Alliance has the upper hand..."

"But this can't go on."

Lin Chen frowned slightly.

This time, the Righteous Alliance took the initiative, deploying all its elite forces and devising a scheme to launch a surprise attack.

The key is speed; the goal is to annihilate all the demonic cultivators before the demonic sect can react.

Otherwise, if Golden Core demon cultivators from other strongholds come to their aid, the Righteous Alliance will be in grave danger.

"We must finish this quickly..."

While holding off the puppet Luo Ming, Lin Chen issued commands to the martial arts puppet.

Boom boom boom!

Another round of nano-missile salvoes.

After a wave of suppressive fire, several Golden Core demon cultivators were killed in battle.

From a distance, Wu Xingkui quickly noticed this.

"No, those guys from the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect are too troublesome... Otherwise, how could this mere Righteous Path Alliance possibly be a match for me?"

Wu Xingkui quickly issued commands to the puppet.

"Don't hold back, kill him!"

Upon receiving Wu Xingkui's order, the puppet Luo Ming charged towards Lin Chen.

He wielded his spear continuously, displaying astonishing power and speed.

After parrying for more than ten rounds, Lin Chen began to feel exhausted. His arms went numb, and the demon-slaying sword in his hand almost slipped out of his grasp.

"It seems that, under normal circumstances... I am far from being a match for this puppet!"

"In that case, the power of the Candle Dragon!"

Lin Chen silently recited it in his heart.

As the power of the Candle Dragon appeared, Lin Chen immediately felt a surge in strength...

Both speed and reaction time are almost twice as fast.

"Come and fight! Let's see if you can withstand this strike!"

"Ten times... Vibrating Blade!"

Lin Chen slashed down again, aiming straight for the puppet's vitals.

Although both strikes were ten times stronger, Lin Chen's attack was twice as powerful!

boom!

He slashed at the red spear of the puppet Luo Ming.

The ground beneath the puppet's feet immediately caved in significantly.

But then, a terrifying force came.

The power emanating from the red-tasseled spear was growing stronger and stronger...

Lin Chen frowned slightly, his entire body covered in a layer of black armor.

click -

As the swords and spears clashed, Lin Chen's expression changed slightly.

He quickly turned around to dissipate the force, and then retreated hundreds of feet.

Then he looked at the demon-slaying sword in his hand.

A large gap, several centimeters long, had appeared.

"this……"

Lin Chen frowned slightly; the Demon-Slaying Blade was no longer able to withstand the power of his attack!

"Damn it, although the Demon-Slaying Blade is enhanced by a martial spirit, the blade is still just ordinary iron... far too inferior!"

Lin Chen thought to himself.

Wang Lishan had previously stated that the Black Blade Martial Spirit was not the blade itself.

It is a spirit residing within the blade!

This can be understood as the existence of a spirit...

This black sword spirit granted the demon-slaying sword extraordinary toughness, but since its material was merely ordinary iron, it was thus constrained by this...

"It seems I need to find an opportunity to reforge the Demon-Slaying Blade."

Lin Chen felt a pang of heartache. What kind of rare and precious materials were worthy of this Black Blade Martial Spirit?

Suddenly, Lin Chen looked at the two spears in the puppet's hands.

"This gun..."

He narrowed his eyes.

During their fight just now, the terrifying power was so great that even the Demon-Slaying Blade couldn't withstand it.

But the spear remained completely undamaged...

"Could it be that these two spears are the ones Senior Luo Ming used back then...?"

Lin Chen felt that this was most likely the case.

As a peak Nascent Soul cultivator from Qingzhou three thousand years ago, Luo Ming's magical treasures were naturally extraordinary.

Legend has it that these two spears are both magical weapons, and the materials used to forge them are extremely rare...

"If only we could take this spear away."

Lin Chen felt a longing in his heart.

If these two spears could be melted down and forged into a black blade, the power of the demon-slaying sword would definitely increase several levels.

With a slight thought, Lin Chen enveloped the Demon-Slaying Blade with his true essence.

This can protect the Demon-Slaying Blade to a certain extent.

"However, for now, we'll just have to make do..."

Lin Chen took a deep breath and charged towards the puppet Luo Ming again.

Amidst the flashing blades and clashing spears, dozens more rounds of fierce fighting ensued.

Although in terms of sheer force, Lin Chen was not much weaker than this puppet.

However, the puppet's body had been recast, and its defensive capabilities far surpassed Lin Chen's flesh and blood.

This is Lin Chen's disadvantage.

However, Lin Chen also had an advantage, namely that his martial arts skills were far superior to those of the puppet.

After all, it was a physical puppet that had lost its soul; it only possessed brute force and lacked even a fraction of Luo Ming's mastery of spear techniques.

If the Crimson-Faced Netherworld Ghost's soul had been attached to the puppet's body, Lin Chen would probably have been defeated long ago.

"Anyway, the mission is just to stall them until the Righteous Alliance resolves the situation..."

Lin Chen's heart stirred slightly, and he began to switch from offense to defense.

While fighting, they also observed the situation on the battlefield.

Under the cover of the martial arts puppets, the demonic sect's side was clearly losing ground.

The peak master of the formation also freed up his hands, and the two of them worked together to deal with Wu Xingkui.

Wu Xingkui gritted his teeth and summoned several more Core Formation stage puppets, but they were stopped by the other members of the Righteous Path Alliance.

With their numbers overwhelming them, the Demonic Sect's defeat was inevitable.

However, at that moment, several auras approached rapidly from afar.

They are Golden Core cultivators who have come to our aid...

Unfortunately, it belongs to the Demonic Sect!

"Old Master Wu, we're here to help you!"

Several Golden Core cultivators joined the battle, quickly alleviating the Demonic Sect's decline.

"Ancestor, I have informed Blood-Eyed Ancestor... Let's hold on a little longer, the Ancestor will arrive soon!"

A demonic cultivator shouted.

Upon hearing this, the morale of the Demonic Sect was greatly boosted.

The Righteous Alliance side was clearly much more demoralized.

Lin Chen also frowned.

"That Blood-Eyed Demon's injuries... should be almost healed..."

"Damn it, if he really comes, I'm afraid we're in grave danger!"

With this in mind, Lin Chen no longer hesitated.

He quickly transmitted his voice to the peak master of the formation, Chen Danxin, and others.

"Don't drag this out, finish this quickly!"

After hearing this, the Peak Master nodded and gritted his teeth as he took out an array plate.

"Sect Leader Chen, please protect me..."

After saying that, the Peak Master of the Formation Peak began to set up the formation.

He cast spells with lightning speed, his mastery of the array plate reaching its peak.

As the peak master of the formation set up his array, the originally clear sky gradually became covered with dark clouds.

Then, lightning appeared in the sky.

"A third-tier formation, the Profound Thunder Formation!"

The peak master of the array holds the array plate, which allows him to precisely control the location of the falling lightning in the sky.

boom!

Boom!

Each bolt of mysterious lightning struck the demonic cultivator with pinpoint accuracy.

Among the remaining demonic cultivators, many were disciples of the Ghost Exorcism Sect, and they suffered greatly after being struck by the Xuan Lightning.

Meanwhile, the martial arts puppet seized the opportunity to finish off the injured demonic cultivators with a nano missile.

"Two million two hundred thousand..." Lin Chen muttered to himself.

In the distance, the peak master of the array seemed to have heard Lin Chen's words, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Although he had never heard of the term "stealing kills," how could he not guess the intentions of those martial arts puppets?

But right now, he can't worry about that anymore.

If we can win this battle, we will surely defeat the Demonic Sect and at least be able to live a worry-free life for the next ten years or so.

"Sect Leader Chen!"

The peak master shouted, then activated the array plate, and a thick bolt of profound lightning fell from the sky.

boom!

The power of this mysterious lightning was several times greater than that of ordinary lightning. When it struck Old Monster Wu, it slowed his movements for a moment and caused him to lose a considerable amount of true essence.

Seeing this, Chen Danxin no longer held back and took out a whisk.

Suddenly, a golden light appeared!

Golden light shone from the whisk, binding Wu Laoguai tightly like strands of hair.

Old Wu's expression changed slightly, and he used his magic to try to break free.

But before he could break free, Chen Danxin used her magic, and a surge of powerful true energy burst forth.

boom!

Old Wu broke free from the golden light of the whisk, but was struck head-on by the true essence.

He was thrown more than ten feet away, fell to the ground, and coughed up blood.

"Cough cough..."

Old Wu struggled to his feet and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"What a Righteous Alliance..." He looked at Chen Danxin with some resentment.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the puppet Luo Ming fighting Lin Chen...

His eyes widened in shock:

"How is this possible... how could Xu Shi be so strong?"

"This is a puppet crafted from Luo Ming's physical body! How could anyone below the Nascent Soul stage possibly withstand it?"

"No... if this continues, we're really going to die here!"

Old Wu looked around.

There were a total of twenty-five Golden Core demon cultivators from various sources.

Including him, only six people remained.

On the righteous path alliance's side, only four early-stage Core Formation cultivators died...

The Demonic Sect is on the verge of collapse!

"No, we absolutely cannot lose!"

Old Wu's voice trembled slightly.

If he loses this time, even if he manages to survive by sheer luck, the Blood-Eyed Demon will not let him go...

The outcome was hardly better than death.

"We have no choice but to fight to the death..."

Old Wu took a deep breath and stood still, casting spells.

The next second, he collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, a black light rushed towards the puppet Luo Ming.

It is Wu Xingkui's primordial spirit!

His primordial spirit was about to enter the puppet's body...

Lin Chen was currently locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle with the puppet Luo Ming.

Suddenly, a black light pierced into Luo Ming's body, startling Lin Chen.

Lin Chen leaped back several feet, maintaining a certain distance from the puppet Luo Ming.

next second.

A resentful and unwilling voice came from the puppet's mouth.

"Damn it, you all deserve to die!"

"I'm going to kill you all..."

After saying that, the puppet possessed by Old Monster Wu ignored Lin Chen and charged directly at the other members of the Righteous Alliance.

boom!

The red spear struck the righteous alliance cultivator, shattering his protective true essence in the blink of an eye.

He then used his remaining strength to kill a Core Formation cultivator.

In just a few rounds of fighting, several Core Formation cultivators from the Righteous Alliance were killed.

The terrifying power of a Nascent Soul level puppet is something that ordinary Core Formation cultivators simply cannot withstand.

"That old monster..."

Lin Chen's expression was rather unpleasant.

This possession puppet technique was something Lin Chen never expected.

The methods of puppet cultivators are unpredictable and bizarre.

Originally, the puppet only obeyed rigid commands and had limited damage output; it posed no threat when Lin Chen entangled it.

But now that he's possessed by Old Monster Wu, he only kills Core Formation cultivators.

Wu Laoguai knew in his heart that nearly twenty Golden Core cultivators had died in this operation.

Half of the Demonic Sect's elite forces have perished...

If he couldn't severely damage the Righteous Alliance, the Blood-Eyed Demon wouldn't let him go, which is why he resorted to this desperate measure.

"Fellow Daoist Xu!"

In the distance, the Peak Master of the Formation Peak shouted anxiously.

He and Chen Danxin wanted to keep this old monster Wu occupied.

However, after being pierced by the red spear, his true energy gradually collapsed, and he could not withstand it at all, so he could only retreat in a panic.

"Brother Xu!"

At this moment, Wu Laoguai set his sights on Li Zhenqian.

With a single, effortless thrust, he knocked the precious flying sword from Li Zhenqian's hand. This flying sword was a gift from Lin Chen.

Seeing that Li Zhengqian's life was hanging by a thread, Lin Chen decided not to hold back.

"Bullet time..."

Lin Chen's heart stirred slightly, and in an instant, he entered a mysterious state.

Everything around Lin Chen appeared to slow down.

At the same time, Lin Chen's physical strength was also rapidly depleted.

"We must finish this quickly..."

Lin Chen frowned and charged at the puppet again, wielding his black blade.

Boom!

The red spear struck Lin Chen's demon-slaying blade, and Lin Chen's knees sank into the ground.

"What are you standing there for? Get out of here!"

Lin Chen cursed, and Li Zhenqian hurriedly fled, saving his life.

In the distance, the peak master of the formation breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Lin Chen jumped out of the ground, took a deep breath, and said:

"Your opponent is me!"

"Dare to touch me... I'll kill you!"

With that, Lin Chen suddenly swung his black knife, aiming at the puppet's wrist.

boom!

"Twelve times, cleave!"

Lin Chen unleashed the strongest attack he had learned in the past three years.

The power of this strike is close to 50,000 tons!

After Lin Chen slashed its wrist, the puppet lost its balance, and the spear in its hand fell to the ground.

"Hmm? After being possessed... this old monster can feel pain!"

Lin Chen quickly made a judgment, and then revealed a sinister smile.

A tireless, pain-inducing, incredibly strong, and extremely defensive puppet is naturally a troublesome opponent.

But after the puppet felt pain, it actually became weaker...

"That was a really bad move!"

Lin Chen snorted coldly, and then the Demon-Slaying Blade slashed at the puppet's other wrist again.

Old Wu was in pain again, and both red spears slipped from his hands.

"Old Wu's marksmanship is really terrible..."

"Possessing a puppet is fine for easily defeating weaker opponents... but it makes me weaker!"

Lin Chen and Wu Laoguai were locked in combat once again.

In just a few dozen rounds, he had the old monster Wu fleeing in panic.

"Monster...what monster!"

"No, I must return to my body..."
