Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

Roar--

After Ji Boying repelled the Golden Puppet, a deafening cheer erupted in the Lord's Mansion.

It was only at this moment that they realized that the thing Ji Boying had been fighting in the void was actually a puppet!

And it was a puppet comparable to a God-level cultivator!

With such strength, none of the core members of the Lord's Mansion could last a round against that puppet!

However...

Even such a powerful existence was punched away by Ji Boying!

Moreover...

A terrifying crack appeared on his left arm!

It seemed that if Ji Boying were to launch another attack like before, this left arm would completely shatter!

"Mr. Ji is mighty!"

Just then, someone suddenly shouted, and immediately, many members of the Lord's Mansion began chanting the three words "Mr. Ji" as if they were injected with chicken blood!

"Is his surname Ji?"

Upon hearing the crowd's cheers, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of the blue-robed old man's mouth.

However...

This smile made people feel somewhat uncomfortable, even giving them a chilling sensation.

For example, the cloaked woman beside him couldn't help but step back uncontrollably.

"Indeed, his combat power is strong, and his talent is outstanding."

"But... it's time to end this."

The old man murmured, and his fingers changed their gestures again. The remaining four puppets launched another attack on Ji Boying.

At the same time, the azure puppet spat out a touch of blue liquid towards the silver puppet that had been knocked away in the distance.

That liquid wrapped around the silver puppet.

The countless, varying depths of sword scars on its body, as well as the terrifying crack on its left arm, slowly began to heal!

Just like that...

In just a few breaths of time, the silver puppet had already returned to normal and charged towards Ji Boying once again!

The silver puppet, comparable to a God-level cultivator, had real combat power that was not inferior to a mid-stage Soul Formation cultivator.

As for the other four puppets, although they had not yet shown any outstanding abilities, their combat power was probably not low either.

Facing the siege of these five puppets, especially with their combined attack formation and the high level of coordination between them, even a late-stage Soul Formation cultivator would find it difficult to withstand!

As for winning the battle, it was simply a pipe dream!

Sure enough...

Under the siege of the five puppets, Ji Boying was gradually falling into a disadvantage.

Seeing the situation, the old man instructed the cloaked woman beside him:

"I will hold this child back. You go gather the major aristocratic families in the city, as well as the affiliated sects, and have them immediately summon Gold Core and Nascent Soul cultivators to stop the personnel from the Shang Clan from retreating."

"Yes!"

The cloaked woman responded lightly and immediately turned into a streak of light, flying towards the distance.

Inside the Lord's Mansion...

Seeing Ji Boying being suppressed by the five puppets and retreating step by step, the people couldn't help but feel nervous.

They were worried that if Ji Boying were to be defeated, they would be completely surrounded and killed by the Qinghua Divine Sect.

But...

They were even more worried that Ji Boying, the first on the Brilliance Moon Ranking and the designated successor by the Supreme Palace Lord, would die in this Northern Expedition!

Regardless of Ji Boying's talent or strength, if he were to fall here, the loss to the Shang Clan would be even greater than if all of them were to die here!

"No! I want to go help!"

Just then, a talisman master from the Thunder Temple suddenly spoke up.

However, before he could take any action, he was stopped by another core member.

"Are you going there to die?!"

The talisman master turned coldly and saw the core member say in a serious tone,

"If you want to die, go ahead and do it yourself. Don't cause trouble for Mr. Ji!"

"These five puppets, no matter which one, already have strength comparable to the mid-stage of Soul Formation. We are not martial cultivators, and our cultivation is not strong enough!"

"What's the difference between going to help and going to die?"

"Furthermore, Mr. Ji is currently struggling with these five puppets. If we rashly go out, it will inevitably distract him!"

"At that time, if the puppets seize the opportunity, even if Mr. Ji is powerful, he won't be able to turn the tide!"

From the current situation of the battle, it is indeed the case.

Even though Ji Boying has already used bloodline secret techniques, his combat power has only been raised to the late stage of Soul Formation.

Facing these puppets with coordinated formations and perfect cooperation, it is difficult to win, let alone not be defeated.

"How come I remember... Mr. Ji is a talisman master?"

Just then, a weak voice came from the crowd.

The core member who was lecturing the impulsive talisman master from the Thunder Temple clearly paused and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

That's right!

The top of the Brilliance Ranking is a talisman master!

Actually, it's not his fault.

From the moment Ji Boying appeared until now, he has only shown his swordsmanship and physical strength. As for talisman techniques, he has not used them once since the Northern Expedition.

Especially in the previous close combat with the silver puppet, it was a face-to-face battle!

You should know that many sword cultivators who specialize in flying swords dare not engage in close combat with enemies of equal strength.

It was precisely because of this close combat that people temporarily misunderstood Ji Boying and even forgot that he was a talisman master.

It wasn't until the weak voice reminded them that everyone in the room gradually woke up and regained their senses.

"That's right! Mr. Ji is a talisman master, but we are all talisman masters. Why is Mr. Ji so strong in close combat?"

"That's not the point! The point is that Mr. Ji is a talisman master! A talisman master!"

"What's wrong with being a talisman master?"

"Talismans are useless! Mr. Ji hasn't used a single talisman from the beginning of the battle until now!"

"That's right! Mr. Ji is a Five-Star Talisman King, and he has completely mastered the Three Clear Divine Thunder Talisman two years ago! As long as he uses the Three Clear Divine Thunder Talisman, no matter how strong these puppets are, as long as they haven't surpassed Soul Formation, they can be destroyed with talismans!"

Just then, a member of the Thunder Temple reminded them.

---

Under the siege of the five puppets, Ji Boying had already moved the battlefield from the center of the Spirit-Sealing Formation to the edge in the direction away from the Lord's Mansion.

In this process, Ji Boying was killed like a headless fly, running around under the intense and rapid attacks of the five puppets.

Especially the two puppets, one azure-blue and one green, had extremely tricky attack angles. There were several times when they almost captured Ji Boying and killed him on the spot!

Fortunately, while Ji Boying was cultivating his body, he also practiced swordsmanship. Sword cultivators not only have a clear mind and pure thoughts, but also emphasize speed when engaging in close combat!

And this speed refers to the speed of the sword!

Not only is the sword sharp, but also the speed of sword control!

So...

When running away or traveling, the speed of a sword cultivator is much faster than that of an ordinary cultivator.

The old man in the blue robe in the sky saw Ji Boying gradually losing his strength and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

He changed his hand seals again and chuckled,

"It's time to end this!"
