Chapter 223 The Puppet Is Cut Into Pieces
"Click." A crisp sound sounded. It was the sound of the puppet's energy center falling, which was all too familiar to Cao Rui.
He held up the torch in his hand and skillfully picked up the eighteenth diamond-shaped object.
Then, he conveniently put the puppet's remains into his storage bag.
During this period of time, almost all the puppets in this area have been cleaned up by Cao Rui and Shi Shaotian.
Therefore, even if there is a small fluctuation in mana, the other puppets will not rush over so quickly.
Before the puppets arrived, Cao Rui and Shi Shaotian had already begun to move.
Cao Rui turned to look at Shi Shatian and asked with concern: "Can you still hold on?"
At this moment, Shi Shatian's face was red, his Taoist robe had been taken off, and his exposed upper body was covered with faint traces of blood.
His chest was heaving violently, and he was obviously exhausted. The strength required to control the puppet was far greater than they imagined, and Shi Shaotian's consumption was even greater.
Shi Shaotian also said frankly: "My current state is a bit bad. Although my body is strong, my recovery speed is longer than that of your ordinary monks. It cannot be solved by relying on a few spiritual pills. I am probably It can only support the control of two to three puppets. "
Hearing this, Cao Rui frowned, and then said: "There is no need to take risks, go back to the central area to recover first."
Shi Shaotian did not refuse and nodded. He agreed with Cao Rui's suggestion and decided to return to the central area to rest first.
Cao Rui held the torch and led Shi Shatian towards the central area.
Under the leadership of Cao Rui, he carefully avoided the puppets and tried not to attract their attention.
Soon, the two returned to the central area.
Cao Rui stuck the torch on the ground and asked Shi Shaotian to sit aside and rest.
"Huh? Where is Gu Qingying?" After returning to the central area, Cao Rui found that Gu Qingying's figure had disappeared.
Only Zhang Heng and Tan Hongmei were sitting cross-legged in one place, meditating.
"The girls also went out to hunt puppets from that direction. At first they even ran back intermittently." Zhang Heng said.
"I haven't been back for a long time since I went out this time."
High-grade spiritual stones are indeed very attractive to practitioners, and Gu Qingying is no exception.
It makes sense that she would go out to kill the puppets and obtain high-grade spiritual stones.
And with Cao Rui and the others as examples, she also discovered the characteristics of the puppet. Coupled with its powerful combat power, she could kill the puppet at the same speed as Cao Rui.
Cao Rui frowned slightly and felt slightly anxious. There were only eighty-one high-grade spiritual stones in total.
You must kill the puppets as soon as possible and seize the spirit stones.
There is no point in continuing to hide it.
Once you get the spiritual stone, you will be the king.
Cao Rui couldn't wait for Shi Shatian to recover, raised the torch and stepped out of the mist.
"Boy Yu, be careful." Zhang Heng naturally saw what Cao Rui was thinking and reminded him.
After the words fell, Cao Rui had already entered the fog.
Cao Rui held the torch and strode forward in the fog.
Not long after, he saw a puppet coming towards him.
"Cone God Thorn!"
Buzz!
Feeling the fluctuation of mana, the puppet instantly activated its state and attacked Cao Rui.
As expected, these puppets are completely immune to spiritual attacks.
Cao Rui hurriedly stepped back and at the same time raised his golden sword and roared out.
Thanks to the eighteen puppets that he had successfully killed before, there was a large area behind him that was no longer patrolled by puppets.
In this way, his combat range becomes much wider, adding a buffer zone.
In this way, when he fights with the puppets, he doesn't have to worry about the mana fluctuations that will immediately trap him in the puppets' circle.
Without the restraint of Shi Shatian, these puppets can move incredibly fast.
Cao Rui aimed his sword at the puppet's chest. However, the puppet dodged it at an alarming speed every time.
The golden sword struck the puppet's shell. Although it was extremely sharp, it only made a large gash in the puppet's body and could not cause fatal damage to it.
boom! The puppet suddenly threw a punch, and Cao Rui used the light of the torch to dodge sideways.
The puppet's fist grazed his head. Although it did not hit him, the sharp wind still stung his cheek. If he was hit by this punch, the consequences would be disastrous.
At this time, there was no one else around, and Cao Rui no longer needed to hide his strength. He decisively took out the storage bag, and four more magic swords rushed out.
This is exactly the signature magical power of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation that he became famous for in the Xiao Kingdom's Secret War - five swords coming out at once!
I saw the five magic swords instantly fused together according to the principle of the five elements to form a dazzling sword light.
Whoosh! The sword light cut through the air, whizzing away with astonishing speed and powerful power.
This time, the puppet's defense could no longer withstand the attack of the sword light, and its body was cut directly in half by the sword light and divided into two parts.
However, what is surprising is that even though the body was cut in half, the puppet's upper and lower bodies still flew towards Cao Rui.
Facing this scene, Cao Rui didn't panic. He held the sword technique with both hands and controlled the sword light to kill again and again.
In the end, the puppet was chopped into dozens of pieces and completely lost its movement. Then, Cao Rui gently waved his hand and put the diamond-shaped center in the puppet's chest into the storage bag.
"The damage of the Great Five Elements completely overflowed during the foundation building period. It's just that the puppet's remnant body was damaged too badly and cannot be reused. It's a pity."
Cao Rui frowned slightly. With the help of the torchlight, he could see several shadows whizzing around.
Although the buffer distance was far enough, the mana fluctuations spread, and these puppets would still quickly chase after him like a cat smelling blood.
In addition to the cover of the fog, if it were any other foundation-building cultivator, they would definitely die without a burial place.
But now Cao Rui's sword light can completely break their defense.
The damage overflowed.
No matter how many puppets came, it would be useless.
"Go!"
Cao Rui pinched the sword formula with his hand, and the sword light whizzed out.
The bodies of these puppets flew when they touched the sword light.
The puppet defense that was originally difficult for foundation-building cultivators to break became an embroidered pillow under Cao Rui's five swords combined into one.
Crack, crack.
The sword light flew.
One puppet after another exploded, and the diamond-shaped cores were collected by Cao Rui into the storage bag.
This process lasted for a cup of tea.
No more puppet phantoms appeared around.
"Huh?"
"Are they all dead?"
Cao Rui looked at the puppet fragments on the ground, waited for a moment, and found that there were indeed no more puppet phantoms approaching, so he probed into the storage bag with his spiritual sense.
Cao Rui counted the energy centers in the storage bag. Adding the previous inventory, there were a total of 64 energy centers in the storage bag.
"If I counted correctly, there should be a total of 81 puppets and 81 energy centers."
"There are still 17. Were they taken away by Gu Qingying or Huiguang?"
Cao Rui waved his hand and put the five magic swords into the storage bag.
