Chapter 174: The Obsessive Love Fool in Xianxia (36)

The ghost cultivator standing nearby grew impatient. "Hurry up. My Twin Golden Fiends can't wait any longer."

As soon as the ghost cultivator finished speaking, the two shadowy figures on the Haunting Soul Banner rushed toward Si Yin and Tang Qing!

"You're asking for it!"

Seeing these familiar enemies charge at them again, Si Yin let out a cold snort. His fingers moved swiftly, instantly pinning one shadow in place.

As for the other shadow, the moment it reached Tang Qing, it was abruptly intercepted by an even taller figure.

This figure stood looming like a mountain, moving with seamless fluidity.

Where the hell did this puppet come from?!

The group surrounding Si Yin and Tang Qing was startled by the puppet's monstrous build and speed.

They had never seen anything like it.

Even more absurd was the fact that the Golden Core-stage vengeful spirits, boosted by that ghostly old man, unleashed a full-powered strike—yet the puppet showed not a single scratch!

How’s it this tough?

What demonic mastermind built this thing?

As they eyed Tang Qing's puppet, the attackers quickly ran through the names of master craftsmen in their minds.

None matched.

Exchanging covert glances, their gazes gleamed with greed.

"Kid, a fancy toy like this is quite impressive..." The first to speak was the whip-toting hag, her face wrinkled and aged, but her eyes eerily sharp.

"Such a little toy is wasted in your hands. Why not hand it over to me?"

Her whip sliced through the air in a perfect arc, lashing tightly around the puppet's head.

"Now, rise!"

She actually intended to lift Tang Qing's puppet with her whip alone.

Hidden beneath her cloak, Tang Qing curled her lips. "Try stealing my Da Mao? Good luck."

"Da Mao, since this granny likes you so much..."

"Give her a taste of your power."

At her command, the towering puppet exploded into motion! Her prized whip was torn apart barehanded by the puppet!

Under the crone's stunned gaze, this hulking puppet barreled straight at her!

Its speed kept pace, shockingly, with that weasel Si Yin’s footwork!

No fucking way!

Something so massive shouldn't move this fast!

With no time to dodge, Da Mao's fist smashed squarely into the crone's smug grin.

That was one hell of a punch.

The impact was no less than that of a body cultivator's strike.

Nobody could tell what this puppet was made of—its body was like steel, and with just one punch, blood went flying. Even the sallow-faced granny's teeth were knocked out.

"Cough, cough..."

Amid the coughing, everyone could clearly see that the granny's face seemed to have got dented in slightly from the blow!

No one had expected that what they thought were just two gutter rats would turn out to be such tough nuts to crack.

Yuan Er was the sharpest, immediately noticing the hesitation in everyone's eyes. He shouted, "If we don't press the attack now, we'll be the ones suffering later!"

Those from the Demon Realm always paid back double.

If they could finish the job, they absolutely couldn't leave loose ends...

"What are you scared of? We outnumber them!"

"Once this is done, the Creation Pills will be yours!"

As he spoke, the burly man called Yuan Er raised his blade and charged again.

Tang Qing had figured it out—those from the Demon Realm were all muscle-headed fools.

No wonder their reputation was so terrible...

Moving slowly, Tang Qing sidled up next to Si Yin.

"Big shot of the Demon Realm?"

Hearing Tang Qing call him, the little devil threw a glance back. "What?"

"Since you claim to be strong..."

The little pervert's tone was as unhurried as ever. "Wanna prove it? Hmm?"

Si Yin was already fuming. Damn it, this round-faced bastard was like chewing gum—even though that damn blade couldn't touch him, he just wouldn't let go...

And now he'd brought all these people to surround them.

Seeing that blade coming at him again, Si Yin's face went dark beneath his hood.

"Tang Qing."

His previously calm voice suddenly turned serious as it echoed from beneath the cloak. "Watch closely."

Amid the flurry of weapons, an eerie blue glow suddenly enveloped Si Yin's entire body.

His fingers flew through hand seals, and Tang Qing could distinctly feel a powerful surge of spiritual energy erupting beneath their feet!

Faint runes of a formation rose from the ground. "Boundless Heaven and Earth, Great Five Elements Truth!"

The moment those words were spoken, everyone's hearts seized!

All the weapons mid-air froze in place!

"This is...?"

"The Saint?"

It was too late to react!

The so-called lowlifes in the gutter turned out to be the Saint himself!

Everyone knew that the Demon Realm's Saint was famous for his Great Five Elements True Art—his magic formations were unbeatable, and he never left anyone alive!

"Saint! We were wrong!"

Panicked, Yuan Er was the first to apologize, "Saint, I didn't recognize your greatness!"

"Please spare our lives!"

Si Yin slowly removed his cloak, revealing the very face on the wanted posters.

"Chased me for half the day..."

"I warned you—no mercy for the doomed."

His gaze icy, Si Yin uttered the final word, "Perish!"

In an instant, the formation flared to life.

Even as the men in midair fought desperately, it was futile.

Like ghostly hands, they viciously strangled them.

Only gasped their last words escaped their lips.

"Saint..."

"Mer...cy."

No answer came—only the crushing pressure increasing around their necks.

In mere moments, weapons clattered to the ground, followed by the heavy thuds of corpses.

It was over.

This was the first time Tang Qing had seen Si Yin unleash his full power—his aura was overwhelming, standing alone yet generating a storm of spiritual energy.

The so-called "demon realm's overlord" truly lived up to his reputation.

System: "Hahaha, the little devil is pretty strong..."

"Too bad he's still a step behind Bai Mufeng."

These two were the top talents of the younger generation—one from the Righteous Path, the other from the Demonic Path. Had Bai Mufeng not broken through the Dao Heart with nine vision trials, this balance would've lasted for a long time.

"Should've acted like this from the start," the System muttered in her head. "If Da Mao hadn't shown up in time earlier, you'd be tasting that whip..."

Tang Qing chuckled. "Then why don't you guess why he held back at first?"

As if answering her question—

The next moment, both Tang Qing and Si Yin sensed surges of spiritual energy approaching rapidly from afar!

Figures were closing in fast!

"The Great Five Elements True Art! It's Si Yin!"

"Quick, alert Elder Bi Xiu!"

System: "Damn..."
