These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Yes, they are puppets... because they don't even have time to depict faces, and their joints have obvious mechanical connections.

But when these puppets come out, there are dozens or even hundreds of them!

They brandished their spears and swords and charged towards Wei Tu.

Wei Tu calmly turned her head and glanced at the girl beside her, whose beautiful brows were tightly furrowed, and asked, "Can you protect yourself now?"

Ye Bingluan thought for a moment and then nodded.

"I will try my best."

Wei Tu nodded as well.

"To survive, you have to rely on yourself."

After saying that, he squeezed the other person's hand tightly, as if to give them strength.

Then he took out another spare slender sword from his Qiankun bag and handed it to Ye Bingluan.

"You may have never killed anyone before and think you can't do it. But let me tell you, as long as you're thinking about living, you can do anything."

"it is good."

Ye Bingluan took a deep look at Wei Tu's peach blossom eyes, which were as bright as peach blossoms.

Then he grasped the hilt of the sword.

Then, watching the boy turn around, holding his long sword at an angle, the stone bricks beneath his feet shattered instantly, and his entire body seemed to transform into a streak of light.

It sped swiftly toward the hundreds of puppets.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Although Ye Bingluan quickly entered the Foundation Establishment Realm, she still didn't have very good eyesight.

All she could see was the boy, who seemed like a brilliant light, rampaging through the group of puppets. Under the blood-red sky, he was like the dawn breaking through the darkness, his aura constantly surging.

One doll after another was blasted away, leaving only their severed limbs scattered in the air like rain... no, it was more like hail.

The roof was smashed, the beams were broken, and the courtyard wall collapsed.

Ye Bingluan's eyes widened involuntarily.

She never expected that the boy, who was always so unserious and flirtatious, would have such brilliance at this moment.

She felt that anyone who saw such a scene would be irresistibly captivated.

What are the immortals like in heaven? She didn't know, but in this mortal world, she was already living the happiest life.

At the very end, the boy suddenly leaped high into the air.

Beneath the blood-red sky, it seemed as if a sun had appeared.

It wasn't a blazing sun, but one that emitted a cold light.

The crimson eyes in the clouds were filled with rage.

"A mere child at the Dragon Slayer Realm dares to ruin our grand plan?! How dare you!"

His body flipped slightly in the air, and his deep eyes saw into the depths of the clouds.

He doesn't shy away from eye contact, nor is he afraid of pressure.

In the past, I might have felt that this kind of thing lacked motivation and wasn't something I absolutely had to do.

But as more and more clues emerged, he began to have an increasingly clear intuition.

This matter is closely related to the Five Immortal Continents. My current ability to remain uninvolved may be a case of nurturing a tiger only to have it become a threat.

He would never allow the tragedy of his previous life to repeat itself in this second chance at life.

He couldn't miss this tiny clue, this faint intuition told him.

So he stared intently into those scarlet eyes, as if peering into a god in the heavens.

Below were a dense array of lifeless but deadly dolls.

He smiled.

"A hall full of flowers intoxicates three thousand guests, a single sword's light chills fourteen provinces. I possess this sword, and I have the courage to wield it."

Then, the crimson eyes watched as the sword in the young man's hand, which was swirling in the air like a full moon, suddenly blazed with light, as if it were about to pierce through the red clouds in the sky.

A sword fell.

"boom!!!"

Houses were overturned, and the earth seemed to tremble violently.

All the dust on the ground shot into the sky!

It instantly permeated the entire street, even seemingly obscuring the white gate tower!

But Ye Bingluan struggled to open her eyes, her eyes stinging and watering in the wind, and stubbornly saw the figure in the dust that seemed to radiate silver light.

He seemed to shine in the sandstorm.

Her long, black hair fluttered slightly in the air.

At his feet were a pile of dolls.

Ye Bingluan had seen the magnificent sight of a lone plume of smoke rising straight from the desert and the setting sun sinking round over the long river.

Yet they felt they couldn't compare to this young man, whose sword once held the power of a million soldiers.

The White Gate Tower, however, had its doors wide open.

The eyes within the clouds are roaring madly.

"Kill him!! I want you to refine him into a sacrificial offering!!"

...PS: This chapter is simply awesome! This is the fourth update today, nearly 13,000 words. I think the pace is on track, right? Bored? I'm really enjoying writing it! It'll get even better later!

27 Your emperor is right here!

The complete annihilation of the puppets happened in an instant.

In fact, these puppets weren't particularly powerful in combat, which was similar to Wei Tu's initial assumption.

This city seems to be a dead city where half the people are human and half the ghosts, but the White Gate Tower has not managed to refine all the people.

Therefore, the forces supporting it are certainly not at an exaggerated or insurmountable level.

This seems to have become an exit, a key, a possibility.

Dispersing its forces into these flashy but impractical things makes it even weaker. It's impossible for each one to be strong. It will only hide the elite forces further back and use these weak but effective cannon fodder to charge into battle. This seems to be a better choice.

As Wei Tu once again drew his sword and stepped forward...

I saw the white gatehouse with its doors open.

"crunch-"

"crunch-"

Strange, unusual sounds appeared.

While still reeling from the shock of what had just happened, Ye Bingluan, gripping her sword, suddenly felt the ground beneath her feet tremble, as if something was about to erupt from beneath the earth.

She looked at the boy's retreating figure with some surprise and uncertainty, wanting to say something.

But it was at this very exact juncture.

"boom!"

The ground shattered inch by inch, right on either side of Wei Tu.

Two earth dragons, their bodies covered in mechanisms and white jade, burst forth from the ground.

Although they could not roar, the white jade covering them seemed to give them boundless power, and beneath a scarlet cloud, they exuded a sinister aura.

They shot out almost instantly and charged straight at the boy in the middle of the street.

"boom!!"

The earth dragon's head slammed into the ground.

Wei Tu leaped high into the air, and at the same time his eyes saw another earth dragon opening its mechanical maw and rushing towards him with remarkable tacit understanding.

As Wei Tu sheathed his longsword—

"call!!"

The blazing flames surged directly towards Wei Tu, covering the sky.

"careful!"

Ye Bingluan couldn't help but shout it out.

The sudden burst of flames caught her completely off guard; she hadn't expected this at all.

Wouldn't such a close-up, scorching flame melt him?

Ye Bingluan had such a worrying thought.

The boy, already in mid-air, held his sword in one hand, his eyes slightly closed, and charged directly at the flames!

"Roar!!"

Ye Bingluan's eyes widened, not expecting that this man would not only not avoid the challenge but would instead rise to the occasion.

Is this a death wish or...?

There's no way to reduce the sauce over such high heat!

It'll be cooked... no, it'll be overcooked!

But soon, an even more unexpected scene unfolded.

The boy's figure vanished in the flames, as if he had been burned to ashes or dust, yet not a speck of dust floated in the air.
