"Nalan Wuxia, what do you intend to do?" Liu Fuyao's expression shifted slightly.
"What do I intend to do?" Nalan Wuxia sneered, "What do you think?"
After speaking, Nalan Wuxia summoned five colossal dark figures with a wave of his hand – the Heavenly Grade War Puppets.
"Heavenly Grade War Puppets! Nalan Wuxia, you actually brought out the Heavenly Grade War Puppets!" Liu Fuyao exclaimed in shock.
This made things difficult. Each Heavenly Grade War Puppet possessed strength equivalent to the Heavenly Realm.
Combined with Nalan Wuxia's entourage, the number of Heavenly Realm experts already exceeded ten.
This was a force to be reckoned with.
"Hahaha! Junior Sister Liu, that's right! I brought the Heavenly Grade War Puppets! And you ask what I intend to do?!" Nalan Wuxia burst into arrogant laughter.
"Naturally, I intend to annihilate all of you!"
"Hmph! Nalan Wuxia, don't get too cocky!" Liu Fuyao coldly retorted.
"Is that so?" Nalan Wuxia sneered, "Then let's find out!"
With that, Nalan Wuxia, leading the five Heavenly Grade War Puppets and the chief disciples of the three academies, charged towards Xin Ci and his group.
Xin Ci and the other six also drew their weapons, preparing to meet the onslaught.
During the engagement, Nalan Wuxia's primary target was Xin Ci.
He would absolutely not let go of the person who had thwarted his plans time and again.
The five Heavenly Grade Puppets immediately attacked Xin Ci.
"Junior Brother Xin!"
Upon seeing this, Li Jianxing attempted to rescue Xin Ci but was intercepted by Ke Fei, the chief disciple of the Azure Dragon Academy.
"Get out of the way!" Li Jianxing yelled sternly.
Ke Fei wore a mocking expression. "Senior Brother Li, I've long heard that you are the most senior disciple in the Four Symbols Academy. How about letting me, your junior brother, have a good taste of your skills..."
"Get out of the way!" Li Jianxing yelled sternly.
Ke Fei wore a mocking expression. "Senior Brother Li, I've long heard that you are the most senior disciple in the Four Symbols Academy. How about letting me, your junior brother, have a good taste of your skills..."
Before he could finish, Ke Fei's chest was inexplicably struck by a blade.
He was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto a distant stone platform, spitting blood and looking utterly pale.
Ke Fei struggled to stand, wiping the blood from his lips.
He glared at the man before him, his heart filled with indignation and malice.
Li Jianxing stood with a cold expression, his hand resting on his sword hilt.
He hadn't even seen the sword strike; such speed was unfathomable.
Ke Fei was utterly shocked.
The disciples of the Azure Dragon Academy watched Li Jianxing with expressions of horror.
Li Jianxing had become so formidable that even Ke Fei, the number one on the Heavenly Rankings and in the mid-Heavenly Realm, couldn't withstand a single sword strike from him!
Mu Qing'er, within the consciousness space, was also greatly astonished.
This Li Jianxing was indeed extraordinary. It seemed this time, the male lead would be safe without her needing to intervene.
Simultaneously, Li Ao, the chief disciple of the White Tiger Academy, and Hong Ze, the chief disciple of the Black Tortoise Academy, were successively defeated by Mo Qian and Liu Fuyao.
Furthermore, the other Heavenly Realm experts of the Azure Dragon Academy were also defeated by the combined efforts of Liu Mu Ming, Bai Ting, and Lin Yan'er.
This left the injured disciples of the Azure Dragon Academy and Nalan Wuxia in utter shock.
Their eyes were wide with disbelief as they witnessed it all!
Only then did they notice that Li Jianxing and the other five had all broken through to the Heavenly Realm and possessed formidable strength.
Even the five Heavenly Grade War Puppets Nalan Wuxia had just released were instantly restrained by Xin Ci's Cross Lock.
The tide of the battle had turned in an instant.
"I truly underestimated you! To have broken through so quickly! You must have consumed the Scarlet Sun Fruit."
Nalan Wuxia sneered at the six, "But you think you can defeat me? Dream on!"
With that, Nalan Wuxia waved his hand.
Twenty more Heavenly Grade War Puppets appeared and immediately charged towards the six, their speed like lightning.
Ten of these puppets possessed cultivation equivalent to late-Heavenly Realm experts.
Such a lavish display astonished Li Jianxing and the other five.
However, they remained fearless, calmly facing the threat.
"Wow, so many Heavenly Grade War Puppets. Although this Nalan Wuxia is annoying, I have to admit, he's truly extravagant." Mu Qing'er exclaimed.
Back in Fengyang Mountain, Nalan Wuxia had escaped her precisely because of his numerous treasures.
Xin Ci finally understood why Ke Fei and the others obeyed Nalan Wuxia's command.
It seemed the Nalan family was not simple, possessing many precious treasures.
After shaking off the five Heavenly Grade War Puppets surrounding him with the Cross Lock,
Xin Ci rushed directly towards Nalan Wuxia, intending to deal with him directly.
However, Nalan Wuxia had already noticed him.
"If five Heavenly Grade War Puppets couldn't handle you, I don't believe I can't deal with you!"
Saying this, Nalan Wuxia waved his hand, and another ten puppets appeared, all of them at the late-Heavenly Realm cultivation level.
For a time, Xin Ci and the other seven were all entangled by these puppets, unable to break free or approach Nalan Wuxia.
Mu Qing'er, in the consciousness space, frowned slightly. "No way, more puppets? How many puppets does this Nalan Wuxia have?"
"No wonder he dared to be so arrogant in front of the male lead and the others."
Nalan Wuxia also noticed Liu Mu Ming and Bai Ting.
"You two are also disciples of the Azure Dragon Academy. I'll give you a chance now: deal with Xin Ci and the others for me, otherwise, I'll have you all die by the hands of our puppets."
"Hmph, you're only so confident because you have so many puppets," Bai Ting said contemptuously to Nalan Wuxia.
Liu Mu Ming also curled his lip dismissively, "Exactly, exactly. Do you think I'm someone you can control?"
At the same time, Liu Mu Ming made a gesture of contempt towards Nalan Wuxia.
"Seeking death!" Nalan Wuxia's face turned grim, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"Hmph, it's you who is seeking death. I'm the one who wants to live."
Even while fighting numerous puppets, Liu Mu Ming still managed to provoke Nalan Wuxia.
Nalan Wuxia was enraged. He commanded the previously injured disciples of the Azure Dragon Academy, "Get up, all of you, and take them down."
Several disciples of the Azure Dragon Academy, along with the three injured chief disciples, joined the ranks of those fighting Xin Ci and the seven.
Xin Ci remained silent, contemplating a strategy.
The Cross Lock had quietly burrowed into the ground, gradually extending towards Nalan Wuxia's feet.
Once he was bound, these Heavenly Grade War Puppets would no longer be a threat.
However, this idea had long been seen through by Nalan Wuxia. His gaze turned sharp as he looked at the ground.
With a forceful stomp, the Cross Lock was instantly shaken out of the ground.
"Xin Ci, Xin Ci, do you think I'll fall for such a trick again?" Nalan Wuxia mocked.
Xin Ci's expression was solemn. Although Nalan Wuxia was arrogant, he was not to be underestimated.
It seemed he could only use the Undying Phoenix Flame to deal with these puppets.
Just then, the ground began to shake violently, and rumbling sounds emanated from below.
The ground slowly split open, and a colossal dark chain rose from beneath.
"What is this thing!"
"Such a massive chain!"
Upon seeing this, everyone was stunned. What kind of entity was this!
