Dao Companions Help Me Live Forever

Chapter 124: You have a talisman, I have a substitute!

In the mist, Yu Xian's voice sounded like a ghost, echoing from all directions.

"How can the matter of puppets be considered a sneak attack?"

"But although my puppet is powerful, it is not good at pursuing speed, so I often think about how to make it attack the target.

Later, I thought of it. According to relativity, when the enemy slows down, it is equivalent to the puppet accelerating.

Although this large cloud and mist formation is just an ordinary maze, even someone like Zhao Dao You, a formation master, would have to stop and decipher it for a while."

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

While Yu Xian was explaining, the blood puppet was not idle. With the cover of the large cloud and mist formation, punch after punch, Zhao Lao Zu was beaten miserably, unable to even create a safe distance.

The blood puppet's strength is extraordinary. Besides having an obvious weakness in speed and reaction, it can also be treated as a late Foundation Building stage body cultivator.

Zhao Lao Zu lost the initiative. If he didn't respond well in a moment, he would be attacked by a tide-like offensive.

Unfortunately, he was trapped in the formation, not only affecting his speed, but also losing his sense of direction and having his divine sense distorted.

Seeing that he was about to be beaten to death by iron fists.

Zhao Lao Zu no longer held back, took a deep breath, and forcibly created a small distance. He reached into his pocket and took out a golden talisman with a vivid image of a brick on it.

"Flip the Heavens Seal, appear!"

Zhao Lao Zu activated the talisman with some pain.

Suddenly, a golden brick measuring several zhang in length appeared in the void.

Just by revealing its true form, the surrounding lingering mist melted away instantly, as if ice and snow had encountered scorching sun.

Its momentum was also like the scorching sun, making people feel their eyes burning just by looking at it.

The blood puppet showed no fear.

But in the face of this object, its instinctual fighting consciousness was triggered.

It saw the blood puppet forming hand seals.

A towering image of a Ming King, about a zhang tall, appeared behind it, holding up a pagoda with its hands, as if supporting the sky.

Boom!

Just like swatting a fly, the blood puppet was directly knocked into the air, and dust rose from the ground, leaving behind a huge pit.

The aftermath of the brick didn't stop there. The white mist within a radius of several hundred meters dissipated, and the large cloud and mist formation was directly broken, revealing Yu Xian's astonished expression several hundred meters away.

With a bruised and swollen face, Zhao Lao Zu couldn't help but sneer, seemingly relieved.

"Yu Xian, I don't know why your puppet can use the Jiang family's Pagoda Ming King technique, but in the face of absolute strength, your tricks are simply not worth mentioning."

The characteristics of the Jiang family's Pagoda Ming King technique are too obvious.

Yu Xian looked at the talisman in Zhao Lao Zu's hand with fear and said,

"Is this the talisman?"

Zhao Laozu was also happy to delay time.

"Yes, it is indeed the talisman bestowed by the real person. It contains the power of the treasure of Gold Core. Not to mention you, even if the former Zhao Laozu came, he would not be able to withstand its full force."

"No..." Yu Xian's face was constipated. "Do you really have such a powerful treasure? And yet you were ambushed by a Silver-Backed Savage Ape and your life is in danger?"

All the conflicts between him and Zhao Laozu actually stemmed from the severe loss of lifespan after Zhao Laozu was injured.

If Zhao Laozu could live for another seventy or eighty years, why would he worry about Yu Xian seizing power? He had plenty of time to cultivate the Zhao family's cultivators.

But unfortunately, he was injured.

Zhao Laozu's face turned black. He formed a seal with his hand, and the golden brick once again emitted a bright light, directly smashing towards Yu Xian.

Since he had already used it, he no longer needed to conserve the energy of the talisman.

For the talisman, a distance of several hundred meters was just a blink of an eye.

Yu Xian had no way to avoid it.

He felt as if the air around him had become sticky, as if he was a bug trapped in amber, and his mind went blank.

Even if it was a poor-quality talisman, it was equivalent to the power of Gold Core. Being locked onto by such power, with his strength, there was no way he could avoid it.

At the critical moment...

Boom!

Yu Xian's physical body was directly shattered into a mist of blood, not even a trace left.

Zhao Laozu saw that Yu Xian had finally died and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Oh, Yu Dao-you, I didn't expect you to hide such a powerful trump card. It's a pity that you were ultimately one move short, how could you have known that the real person would bestow a talisman upon me?"

But to be able to die under the talisman, it is also your honor."

Zhao Laozu contentedly accepted the talisman. Although this trip had cost him a lot, he had finally killed Yu Xian.

The more potential and strength Yu Xian showed, the stronger his desire to kill him became.

Since he had already offended him, he couldn't give him a chance to escape.

So he didn't hesitate to use the power of the talisman for the second time.

Zhao Laozu walked to the place where Yu Xian had fallen, only to see that the ground had been compressed into a floor even stronger than steel by the immense power of the talisman. Faintly, he could still see a distorted blood-colored figure, not even a trace left.

"It's a pity that the talisman smashed everything. Over the years, Yu Xian has received a lot of dividends from my Zhao family, but he has nowhere to spend them. That's a large sum of spiritual stones."

Zhao Laozu sighed, but he also knew that he couldn't force it.

Using the power of the talisman was like a child wielding a big sword. It could harm people, but one couldn't expect to control the power of the sword to carve intricate patterns.

Zhao Laozu walked to the large pit created by the blood puppet's attack.

He saw a skeleton lying in the huge pit, with its lower body already sunk in. The originally jade-like texture was now covered in cracks, as if it could shatter into pieces at any moment.

Only a faint purple light flickered occasionally on its body, proving that it was not completely destroyed.

"It's actually a puppet!" Zhao Laozu couldn't help but brighten up.

"What a powerful puppet, it can withstand the attack of a magical treasure without breaking. If it can be repaired and used by the Zhao family, it might be a more powerful trump card than the magical treasure."

After all, the magical treasure only had one attack left, but the puppet could continue to be used.

Zhao Laozu waved his sleeve, intending to put the skeleton into his storage bag, but found that he couldn't do so.

"Huh?"

Zhao Laozu made a soft sound of surprise and scanned the skeleton with his divine sense.

"It's strange, this thing is already lifeless, why can't it be put into the storage bag?"

He formed a hand seal and condensed a pair of powerful mana hands, lifting the skeleton. He felt the weight of the skeleton, as if he was moving a large iron ball, weighing at least three to four hundred catties.

But with the manipulation of the mana hands, the skeleton was still pulled out and stood in front of Zhao Laozu, only a distance of one or two meters away.

Suddenly.

Zhao Laozu felt his scalp tingling, his body covered in goosebumps, and a sense of impending danger filled his heart, as if some great terror was descending.

"Who?!"

Zhao Laozu reflexively released his divine sense in all directions, while a protective spiritual light covered his body, and he secretly held onto the magical treasure.

However, the horror was not coming from a distance, but right in front of him.

He saw blood-red light flashing in the eye sockets of the skeleton, and a pair of skeletal hands directly grabbed Zhao Laozu. In a flash of lightning, the protective spiritual light around Zhao Laozu shattered.

"No!"

Zhao Laozu never expected that the skeleton could still come back to life.

Clearly, Yu Xian had been smashed into a pulp by him, losing control of its master, and the puppet was just an inanimate object.

This was unreasonable!

But in just an instant, the skeleton's hands had already embedded into his flesh, even the extraordinary physical body of a Foundation Building cultivator couldn't withstand this deadly move.

Boom!

Like a burst watermelon.

Under the powerful force of the skeleton, Zhao Laozu's bones exploded, his flesh turned into mud, and his meridians and dantian all cracked inch by inch.

Being close-combat by a body cultivator was a nightmare for ordinary cultivators.

With just one move, Zhao Laozu's physical body became like a torn sack, completely devoid of any counterattack power.

The physical body was the foundation of strength, without the physical body, divine sense and mana became rootless sources, greatly weakening the power.

Zhao Laozu finally realized it.

"Yu Xian, you're not dead!"

His voice was filled with anguish, like a blood-curdling cry of a cuckoo, containing a deep-seated anger.

"Congratulations, you got it right, but there's no reward."

Not far away, a mound of soil slowly arched up, and Yu Xian, panting heavily with a pale face, crawled out.

At the moment the Great Cloud Mist Formation was activated, he buried himself in the ground and activated the Turtle Breath Convergence Technique.

He was not someone who worried about defeat before victory, nor was he a genius in battle.

And with Zhao Laozu's many years of Foundation Building and being a disciple of a true person, he was not surprised that he burst out with extraordinary combat power.

Sure enough, he directly took out a talisman treasure, a nonsensical thing.

So he directly summoned his flesh puppet substitute.

He specially refined it to use with his Turtle Breath Convergence Technique to feign death.

After being refined, the flesh puppet possessed the aura of a living being, could speak and move, and this thing was controlled independently by his divided consciousness. Apart from the drawback of limited control distance, it was no different from an excellent substitute.

So he had prepared several flesh puppet bodies early on, all adjusted to look like himself.

Once he encountered an opponent he couldn't defeat, as long as he was given a breath's time, he could hide and create the illusion of self-destruction using the flesh puppet.

The flesh puppet's flesh and blood aura belonged to him, and the consciousness aura contained within it belonged to him. Apart from the bones not being his, who could deny that it wasn't him?

Seeing Zhao Laozu kill him with the talisman treasure, he didn't know how happy he was, saving himself from self-destruction.

However, one flesh puppet was directly destroyed, one heavily injured, still making him feel the pain of his soul being cut.

The flesh puppet had various advantages, but because it was closely connected to his sea of consciousness, once it was damaged, it would also harm him, not as convenient as an ordinary puppet.

"Zhao Daoist friend, you said it yourself, if you don't get moved, then there's no problem."

"If you didn't touch my puppet, how could you have fallen into the trap? If you kill my flesh puppet substitute and then leave, what can I do to you?"

Yu Xian first sealed Zhao Laozu's sea of consciousness, then picked up the talisman treasure floating on the ground, took off Zhao Laozu's storage bag, and collected his protective spirit weapon, weakly smiling in the angry gaze of Zhao Laozu.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry, we have a long night ahead of us, we can chat slowly."

Yu Xian didn't kill Zhao Laozu directly.

Because Zhao Laozu was a disciple under True Person Danyang, he must have left a life lamp with True Person Danyang.

He didn't know Zhao Laozu's position in True Person Danyang's heart. If he killed Zhao Laozu and provoked retaliation from True Person Danyang, he would have to flee to the ends of the earth.

His Turtle Breath Convergence Technique could deceive Zhao Laozu, but it might not be able to deceive a Gold Core true person.

And he still had many questions to ask Zhao Laozu.

Zhao Laozu actually slandered him, saying that he wanted the Zhao family and used it as an excuse to try to kill him. He couldn't bear this injustice.

Now, he must take down the Zhao family!
