Chapter 613
Fighting the Puppet
"Good, let's take advantage of their attack and go in."
Zhao Tianlei nodded, then said, "The rest of you, come with me."
"Yes!"
At his command, everyone followed him out.
As their airship flew away, the sounds of a large army attacking could be heard behind them.
Ning Qi glanced back.
Then they saw a group of warriors emerging from the array of mechanisms behind them.
They were clad in heavy armor, and their eyes were hollow.
Judging from their aura, their strength is by no means inferior to those of the demon race.
"These are their puppets, and also the guardians of the tomb."
Zhao Tianlei also looked back and, after noticing Ning Qi observing as well, reminded him, "We'll encounter these puppets when we get to their graves later."
"Oh? They're quite strong. We need to be careful."
Ning Qi came to his senses and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, they are all quite strong, and many of them can even manipulate the power of laws."
"This is part of their mechanical secrets."
“Our people suffered greatly when dealing with them.”
Zhao Tianlei looked ahead and then said, "Therefore, we must be careful."
"Young master, what should we do? We're almost at their cemetery."
At this moment, a guard came over and respectfully reported.
"Alright, spread out and charge in!"
Zhao Tianlei nodded, then turned his gaze back to what was ahead.
"Yes!"
The guard respectfully accepted the order and then left.
Before long, teams began to set off one after another from their flying boat.
"Let's go too."
Zhao Zhirou came over and said seriously.
"You stay on the airship, we'll go."
Zhao Tianlei did not intend for her to go with him.
"Now that I'm here, there's no reason for me to stay on the ship."
"I'll be careful, don't worry."
However, Zhao Zhirou did not intend to stay and insisted on saying so.
"Alright, stick close to me, we're off now."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianlei did not continue to stop him. After giving a brief instruction, he leaped into the air.
We've reached mid-air and are ready to depart.
Seeing this, Ning Qi also leaped up.
"Brother Ning, let's split up. I'll go this way, and you go that way!"
"If you encounter any trouble, remember to send a telepathic message."
Zhao Tianlei pointed in a direction and said to Ning Qi.
"it is good!"
Ning Qi agreed, then asked, "Can we find the resources here once we go in?"
"Is there anything else?"
"Resources are definitely available; as for other things, it depends on luck."
"This is the first time our team has ventured into this place."
Zhao Tianlei responded seriously to his question.
"Okay, I'll go then."
Ning Qi agreed and then set off immediately.
It flew off in his direction.
"Master, I feel like there's something wrong here."
The spirit medicine, residing in his dantian, couldn't help but speak.
"Don't worry, we're now at the Golden Immortal level."
"What's there to be afraid of in this place?"
Ning Qi, however, didn't seem to care and continued forward.
Soon we arrived at the entrance to this cemetery.
Here, the graveyards float in the void, surrounded by sealed puppets.
"Master, if we go inside, will these puppets wake up?"
Yao Ling looked at the puppet in front of her and couldn't help but ask.
"meeting."
"I'll test their strength."
Ning Qi agreed and then set off immediately.
It flew off into the distance.
In the void of the Boundary Sea, he had just arrived in front of the cemetery.
It was pushed by an invisible force.
"The power of restriction."
Yao Ling immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"Hmph, a mere restriction, and you think you can stop me?"
Ning Qi snorted coldly, then turned his attention to what was ahead.
He made hand seals and quickly sent out a formation pattern.
"Sizzle".
As the water ripples surged, they began to merge with the restriction before them.
At first, the restriction was still repelling Ning Qi's Dao patterns.
However, as he eroded it, the restriction gradually loosened.
After a few breaths, the restrictions here completely collapsed.
Ning Qi glanced at it and then flew straight inside.
"Master, it's healed!"
The spirit medicine was inside his dantian, constantly observing the changes there.
They discovered that the damaged barrier behind them was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of an ancient restriction, it actually has this kind of ability."
Ning Qi glanced back and exclaimed in amazement, "What a wonderful formation! If I didn't need to explore the resources ahead, I would have loved to stay here all day to find out more."
“Master, we’ll find a way once we get there.”
Upon hearing his words, Yao Ling couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm, it's alright, let's go."
Ning Qi didn't say anything more, but continued walking inside.
They had just arrived at a floating graveyard when they felt as if some thread of the void had been severed.
"Be careful."
Yao Ling sensed something was wrong and quickly reminded him.
"call."
"Click".
It was at this moment that the surrounding puppets began to gradually awaken.
They began to slowly stretch their muscles and bones.
At the same time, evil energy began to spread throughout his body.
"It's been stimulated."
Ning Qi glanced at it and couldn't help but smile: "They're actually using evil energy."
"Master, I feel that they are quite strong, they are all at the half-step True Immortal level."
After experiencing the effects of the medicine, he continued.
"Hmm, not bad. This level of strength has no impact on me."
Ning Qi nodded, then continued flying forward.
The puppet behind him, after awakening, began to devour everything in its path.
If they cannot pursue Ning Qi, they will devour each other.
In just a few breaths, dozens of puppets were reduced to a single one.
This puppet's strength has already surpassed that of a True Immortal.
“Master, these puppets are already at the level of Celestial Immortals. They can increase their strength by devouring others.”
Yao Ling could see from afar that the situation was not good, and quickly reminded her.
"It turns out that one can increase their strength by devouring others."
Ning Qi turned his head to look and also realized something was wrong: "Then we can't keep him. Otherwise, if he becomes a puppet with the strength of a Golden Immortal, I can't handle it."
"Correct!"
Yao Ling said in deep agreement.
"I am coming!"
Ning Qi then flew over directly, taking out the Chaos Divine Sword at the same time.
He then slashed down at the puppet in front of him.
"Crack!"
After he brought his sword down, he suddenly split the puppet in front of him in two.
Ning Qi then waved his hand and directly collected the puppet's mutilated corpse.
He placed it directly into his own Sumeru space.
After dealing with the puppet, Ning Qi turned his attention back to what was ahead.
In front of him, many puppets had already finished devouring.
"Master, this is not good. There are actually puppets with the strength of a Celestial Immortal." "And there's more than one."
Yao Ling observed the situation before her and couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Should we... take shelter? It's not safe here."
"Since we're here, what's the point of avoiding it?"
"I want to see just how powerful these puppets can be."
Ning Qi didn't care at all and continued speaking.
After saying just one sentence, he unleashed his peak Celestial Immortal power.
Then he rushed up to the puppets.
"boom!"
One of the puppets saw him coming and said nothing.
He threw a punch straight at Ning Qi's head.
"call!"
This punch tore the void between the cool breeze and the bright sunshine.
It descended, accompanied by gusts of wind, tearing through the void.
"It is indeed quite strong."
Ning Qi only glanced at it, and then stopped using the Chaos Sword.
He was simply relying on his own physical body to fight back.
"boom!"
The two exchanged blows, their fists clashing violently.
A series of deafening sonic booms erupted.
The surrounding void began to collapse.
Not only Ning Qi and this puppet, but also several other puppets around them joined the battle.
"call!"
Ning Qi watched as all the puppets rushed towards him.
He took a deep breath and immediately circulated the demonic energy within his body.
The magic surged, making his physique even stronger.
In addition, his body, which had already been bombarded by lightning tribulation and the power of laws, made him as strong as a rock.
His battle here attracted the attention of some people in the distance.
Zhao Zhirou also focused her attention on him.
"Big brother, he's too strong! He's fighting against so many puppets with the strength of celestial beings all by himself."
She couldn't help but chime in with her own complaints.
"Indeed very strong!"
Zhao Tianlei widened his eyes, revealing an incredulous expression: "Everyone says he's strong, but I always thought they were exaggerating."
"Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I realize just how strong he really is."
"Big brother, this is truly worthy of being a member of our Demon Clan royal family; he is incredibly strong."
A strange light flashed in Zhao Zhirou's eyes.
I never expected Ning Qi to be so strong.
"Of course, this is the hope of our demon bloodline."
Upon hearing her words, Zhao Tianlei began to praise her, saying, "In the future, we will rely on him to continue the bloodline power of our demon race."
"If we could have offspring with him, they would definitely be very powerful."
"That's true."
Zhao Zhirou only heard half of what he said, and didn't pay any attention to what he said after that.
At this moment, she was watching Ning Qi's battle.
"boom!"
Ning Qi unleashed a powerful punch.
He directly sent one of the puppets flying.
The next moment, another puppet came over and kicked him away.
"call."
Ning Qi steadied himself in mid-air and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "If I didn't need to suppress my strength, I would have crushed them long ago."
"Master, aren't we afraid of revealing our strength?"
Yao Ling then said, "I think we should leave here and go ahead to check the situation."
"There's no need to get bogged down in a few puppets here."
"I'm not here to get resources for them, but to take advantage of the opportunity to improve my own abilities."
"Then why should I give way? Let me have my fill."
Ning Qi was becoming increasingly courageous in battle.
His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
After being hit by the puppet several times, he became enraged.
"call!"
After saying that, he suddenly sped forward. In the blink of an eye, Ning Qi had already rushed over.
"boom!"
With a single punch, the fist slammed heavily into the puppet's chest.
The attack, imbued with a trace of the power of law, directly shattered his chest.
With the appearance of the Blood Cave, the void behind it can already be seen.
"call."
After dealing with this puppet, Ning Qi moved on to the next one.
"Shh!"
However, before he could even make a move this time, the puppet's companions had already come to help.
He swept his foot across, forcing Ning Qi back.
Before Ning Qi could take the puppet away, it was swallowed whole.
He wasn't even given a chance to collect the body.
"Damn it."
Ning Qi watched as the puppet's strength increased once again.
At this moment, the puppet's strength had reached the level of a half-step Golden Immortal.
"Master, be careful, they can actually break through."
Seeing this, Yao Ling quickly offered a reminder.
"This should be the peak of their strength."
Ning Qi shook his head and said nonchalantly, "Even if a Golden Immortal came, I wouldn't care, let alone those few puppets."
"kill!"
At the same time, the remaining dozen or so puppets rushed towards Ning Qi.
The power they unleashed had already reached the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm.
"It seems we can't afford to waste any more time."
Ning Qi watched them approach and took out his Chaos Sword.
He then imbued his Chaos Sword with chaotic flames.
Fei rushed into the group of puppets.
"call!"
"puff!"
"..."
The next moment, he launched a full-scale attack and quickly killed these puppets.
Ning Qi waved his hand and directly put these corpses into his Sumeru space.
After dealing with them, Ning Qi looked around.
He discovered that he had already dealt with all the puppets here.
In the distance, Zhao Tianlei and his group had already ventured deep into the cemetery.
"Let's go too."
Yao Ling looked around and quickly reminded them, "There might be some resources we can use here."
"Well, let's go!"
Ning Qi didn't hesitate and agreed, then followed them further inside.
They soon passed through a cemetery.
The cemetery here has been opened, and some of the bodies inside have been taken away.
Therefore, Ning Qi had no intention of stopping to observe the situation.
They simply sped past and continued on their way.
"Master, the cemetery ahead is still intact."
It was at this moment that Yao Ling's voice came.
Upon hearing this, Ning Qi looked up and ahead.
Sure enough, they found a cemetery ahead, with graves scattered about, showing no signs of being disturbed.
"Something's not right. There's a restriction here."
Ning Qi was about to go over when he suddenly stopped.
He unleashed a burst of magic.
"Boom!"
After the attack hit its target, a protective light barrier suddenly appeared.
As the light screen surged, a fierce gale suddenly erupted in front of him.
"Master, be careful!"
Seeing the scene before him, Yao Ling quickly offered a reminder.
"don’t worry!"
Ning Qi kept a safe distance, his eyes warily fixed on what lay ahead. (End of Chapter)
