A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Chapter 193 Reincarnation Divine Light

Manhuzi, Tianwuzi, and Mutengzi were already doing their best to resist Xingluoyin's attack, but they didn't expect Qingyi and Nangong Wan to choose to backstab them at this time.

The timing was extremely clever, with starlight attacks in front and hundreds of cyan flying needles and dozens of red rune attacks behind.

The three men with the barbarian beard were instantly caught in a pincer attack. At the critical moment, it was the barbarian beard who demonstrated the powerful combat strength of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

With the Heavenly Demon Art fully activated, golden scales covered his entire body. Whether it was the starlight attack transformed from the Golden Spirit Heavenly Star Needles, or Qing Yi's Azure Nether Needles and Nangong Wan's red rune attack, all were blocked by the golden scales.

In an instant, blue, red, starlight, and golden light intertwined continuously. Then, the bearded man let out a loud shout, and a large ball of golden light burst out, dimming all the other lights.

Qingyi retrieved the Azure Nether Needle, Nangong Wan retrieved the Red Jade Token, and Lin He also retrieved the Golden Spirit Heavenly Star Needle.

After the smoke dissipated, the three men with the barbarian beard reappeared, but their faces were now terribly gloomy. The barbarian beard, relying on his super strong defense, managed to withstand this wave of attacks, but his aura had weakened considerably.

Tianwuzi and Mutengzi were only of average strength. At this moment, their faces were unusually pale, and they looked like they had consumed a lot of magic power, obviously having suffered a great loss.

The bearded man roared, "Qing Yi, have you lost your mind? How dare you attack me? Are you courting death?"

Qing Yi smiled and said, "Brother Man is going to make a move against my disciple, so of course I can't just stand by and watch."

"Disciple? Could it be—" The bearded man hurriedly looked at Lin He, his expression one of disbelief, "He—is actually your disciple? Good, good, it seems we've been caught in your trap from the very beginning. It looks like this Fellow Daoist Leng has been one of your people all along."

Nangong Wan said in a deep voice, "Since you actually wanted to harm my husband, of course I had to stop you."

"Husband!" The three bearded men felt their hearts sink again. One was a master-disciple relationship, and the other was a husband-wife relationship. Clearly, there was no way to end things peacefully today.

The bearded man's face darkened. Originally, they were five against one, giving him the advantage, but now it had become three against three.

On their side, due to the sneak attack earlier, they were all seriously injured and their condition was far from their peak. Facing Lin He and his two companions, they were at a complete disadvantage.

"Damn it! If only I had stopped Wan Tianming from entering the cave back then, things wouldn't be so bad now!"

The bearded man was filled with regret, but by then it was too late to change anything, and he could only rack his brains for a solution.

"If all else fails, we'll have to run away!"

By this time, Manhuzi realized that seizing the cauldron was almost impossible, so he started to think about escaping.

Tianwuzi and Mutengzi exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing, clearly indicating that they had also given up their desire to seize the cauldron.

As if seeing through the thoughts of the three bearded men, Lin He suddenly chuckled and said, "It seems you all realize the situation is hopeless and want to run away, huh? Too bad, it's too late!"

Lin He patted a storage bag at his waist, and a large number of warrior puppets appeared instantly.

Lin He obtained four warrior puppets from the Jin Yuan relics, and with the help of the Miaoyin Sect, he successively crafted sixty-eight more warrior puppets, for a total of seventy-two puppets. Apart from the two warrior puppets he gave to Xin Ruyin for self-defense, the remaining seventy are all here.

As soon as the seventy samurai puppets appeared, they immediately launched an attack. In an instant, thousands of spear beams, axe blades, and sword energies came rushing in, so many attacks that they almost covered this small patch of sky, densely packed together.

The three men with the barbarian beards finally changed their expressions drastically. These puppets were only at the early stage of Core Formation, which they could not take seriously. But when seventy of them came together, it was a completely different story.

"Quick! The three of you form a protective shield to defend!"

The bearded man immediately gave the order without any politeness, and Tengoko and Mutengko were not angry at the moment. Instead, they cooperated very well.

A protective shield appeared, and then the three attacked simultaneously. The magical power of the three Nascent Soul stage cultivators was frantically poured into it, and the protective shield became exceptionally thick, as if it had been nourished.

The next moment, thousands of attacks rained down on the thick light barrier, causing it to tremble violently. However, this barrier, worthy of being the result of the combined power of three Nascent Soul stage cultivators, remained resilient despite its dense attack.

Lin He frowned upon seeing this and immediately changed his tactics. The seventy warrior puppets were divided into two waves, attacking alternately and taking turns. Although the power of a single attack was not as great as before, it was continuous and suitable for a protracted war.

The three bearded men realized Lin He's purpose and secretly groaned.

Just as the bearded man was about to summon his spirit beast, the Three-Eyed Leopard, for help, his expression quickly turned grim.

The Three-Eyed Leopard, the Separating Tortoise, and the Frost Dragon were locked in a fierce battle with the giant demon corpse. However, due to Qing Yi's defection, the swarm of Green Thorn Birds and the swarm of Gold-Eating Insects also joined the fight.

The three spirit beasts were struggling to hold on and were too busy taking care of themselves to help.

At the same time, Nangong Wan has regained her original appearance and is now an exceptionally beautiful woman!

However, the three bearded men had no time to appreciate it; instead, they felt a chill run down their spines.

Nangong Wan uttered a spell that sounded like celestial music, and a huge crimson halo appeared a few feet above her head, flowing like Buddhist light and gradually becoming exceptionally dazzling.

This crimson halo was clearly extraordinary; just one glance at it made one feel dizzy and it seemed incredibly mysterious.

The three men with the barbarian beard knew things were going badly, and of course they wouldn't stay put and wait to die. At this moment, they no longer had the will to maintain the protective shield.

The three attacked simultaneously, unleashing a burst of colorful light that actually blocked the attacks from the surrounding puppets. Overjoyed, the three were about to flee when a golden beam of light appeared above their heads!

Suddenly, a golden mirror appeared in the sky. Lin He held this top-tier ancient treasure in his hand, and a golden beam of light emanated from the mirror, enveloping the three men, including the bearded man.

This mirror truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier ancient treasure; the beam of light it emitted was able to imprison the opponents, fixing the three of them in place, unable to move at all.

Of course, this was also because the three of them had gone through rounds of battles, their magical power was greatly depleted, and their strength had been greatly reduced, which is why they were temporarily bound.

At this moment, the crimson halo above Nangong Wan's head became even more dazzling. The three men with the barbarian beard knew something was wrong, and immediately a fierce look appeared on their faces.

The next moment, the three Nascent Souls simultaneously emerged from their bodies. The short ruler, the silver light band, and the willow branch instantly became dazzlingly bright, and they actually managed to block the golden beam of light.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators were overjoyed and about to teleport away when a crimson full moon appeared, enveloping them.

The crimson full moon spun rapidly, and concentric circles of red halos rippled outwards from the moon, filling the entire high platform with a mesmerizing light and shadow.

The full moon rotated for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea before disappearing. Nangong Wan, her face pale, stopped casting the spell.

The three Nascent Souls of the barbarian and his companion all looked bewildered, and a strange smile appeared on their faces.
