Clang—!
Clang—!
The Day Bow clashed several times with the axe.
The Day Bow was an inheritance from a pair of artifact-cultivating spouses.
Since the opponent could even craft triple-layered puppets, the material of the Day Bow was naturally indestructible.
Guo Duan was somewhat unconvinced and wanted to smash it a few more times.
He refused to believe that his axe couldn’t even break a longbow.
Ye Wangchuan furrowed his brows tightly.
The few clashes he had with Guo Duan just now had left his arms numb and his palms bleeding.
The strength of the fourth layer was truly overwhelming!
Seeing Guo Duan preparing for another strike, Ye Wangchuan immediately gave a signal to the puppet beside him.
The next second.
"Eighteen Martial Arts—Sword—"
Boom!
The combat-ready puppet raised an enormous wooden sword, nearly eight meters long, and swung it toward Guo Duan!
Guo Duan was startled and quickly dodged.
At the same time, he twisted his body and swung his axe, cleanly severing the wooden sword.
"What the hell is this? A puppet??? I’ll chop you to pieces first!"
Guo Duan immediately charged toward the puppet with unstoppable momentum.
"Eighteen Martial Arts—Shield—"
The puppet conjured a shield, attempting to block Guo Duan’s attack.
Boom—!
Guo Duan’s axe struck the massive shield, instantly creating a crack!
With a few swift movements, he closed in on the puppet’s feet and hacked off one of its legs with a single strike.
As the puppet crashed to the ground with a thunderous rumble, Guo Duan raised his axe, ready to smash it into the puppet’s chest.
Snap!
At that moment, a rope suddenly looped around Guo Duan’s neck, winding around his arms several times before tightening fiercely!
It was Ye Wangchuan, holding the Immortal-Binding Rope.
He gripped the rope tightly, veins bulging on his forehead as he increased the force in his hands.
He began pulling the rope like in a tug-of-war, continuously tightening it.
Since Ye Wangchuan had tied a slipknot, Guo Duan’s neck was immediately marked with a deep indentation!
Guo Duan sensed the danger and began struggling desperately.
First, he tried to break the rope with brute force.
But the rope was made of some unknown material, incredibly tough and unyielding!
Seeing that he couldn’t break the rope, Guo Duan started thrashing wildly, trying to fling Ye Wangchuan off the other end!
However, due to the tight grip around his neck and the Immortal-Binding Rope’s suppression of spiritual energy, the two sides were momentarily locked in a stalemate in terms of strength.
But when it came to stamina, Ye Wangchuan was no match for Guo Duan.
Nearby.
The onlookers stood frozen, staring at the scene in shock.
Just then.
"What the hell are you all standing around for? Charge in and help! Do you want to wait for that damn stitched-up freak to break free and kill you all?!"
Su Fugui suddenly stood up, waving his arms and shouting.
The others snapped out of their daze and began rushing forward to gang up on Guo Duan.
"I’m going too!"
Seeing this, Liu Han drew a sword and charged forward as well.
Suddenly, he felt someone tugging at his arm, as if trying to stop him.
Liu Han turned his head and saw.
It was Tang Rourou holding him back.
Tang Rourou shook her head and said,
"Brother Liu Han, you’re only at the early stage of the first layer. It’s too dangerous over there. Don’t…"
"No! Brother Ye has been my childhood friend. He’s always treated me well, and just a few days ago, he saved my life in a cave. How can I not contribute at all? What if my help makes the difference?"
Liu Han spoke with determination, shaking off Tang Rourou’s hand and rushing toward Guo Duan.
…
On the battlefield.
Ye Wangchuan, who was locked in the stalemate, saw the crowd rushing in to gang up on Guo Duan and immediately felt uneasy.
A minor boss villain like Guo Duan couldn’t possibly be so easy to kill.
If things were going smoothly now, they were bound to take a turn for the worse soon!
Ye Wangchuan immediately prepared to make a quick escape.
Boom—!
Boom—!
Boom—!
The group attacking Guo Duan unleashed a barrage of divine abilities, secret techniques, and talismans, all aimed at him!
A dense wave of energy explosions struck Guo Duan, tearing his flesh apart in an instant!
The Immortal-Binding Rope, which had been tightening around Guo Duan, slipped off as a result.
Everyone cheered and rushed forward, trying to deliver the finishing blow to Guo Duan.
Meanwhile, Ye Wangchuan looked up at the sky.
The red barrier was still intact…
Ye Wangchuan quickly stashed the Immortal-Binding Rope and retreated rapidly!
He also called for Li Luo and the puppet to follow.
At that moment.
Ye Wangchuan also noticed Liu Han, who was preparing to join the fray.
Liu Han naturally saw Ye Wangchuan as well.
Seeing that Ye Wangchuan wasn’t going in for the kill but instead moving away from the corpse, Liu Han was puzzled.
After a moment of thought, he also chose to stay away from the corpse and went to ask Ye Wangchuan what was going on.
Just then…
On the battlefield.
A finger quietly climbed onto the clothes of a second-layer cultivator.
Then, the finger leapt up! With a single jab, it pierced through the man’s temple!
"Gah!"
After killing the man, the finger broke off one of the corpse’s fingers and replaced it!
The next second, the corpse stood up.
It picked up the axe from the ground and swung it, cleaving several second-layer cultivators in half!
"Ah!"
"What!"
Everyone turned to look at the source of the screams.
A man stood there, but his face wore a sinister, triumphant smirk as he cackled.
"Hehehe, you bunch of fools, didn’t expect this, did you? I hid my spirit core in a finger!"
"I was planning to kill that troublemaker first and save you trash for later."
"But now… you’re all going to die!"
Clearly, Guo Duan had used a single finger to seize control of the man’s body.
The crowd erupted in anger, roaring as they charged at Guo Duan.
But Guo Duan simply raised his axe and then flashed forward.
Splat—!
Splat—!
He charged into the group of second-layer cultivators, slaughtering them relentlessly while avoiding the third-layer ones.
With every second-layer cultivator he killed, he tore off a piece of their organs or skin and attached it to himself.
In no time, Guo Duan had reassembled his patchwork body.
In the distance, Ye Wangchuan watched the scene and began to ponder.
Every time Guo Duan added a new organ or piece of skin from someone, his speed increased slightly.
At the same time, Guo Duan frequently switched out his legs. Could it be that his legs would tire out but couldn’t recover, so he had to replace them?
When it came to demonic techniques, Ye Wangchuan wasn’t as knowledgeable.
Although the Ye Family’s library contained extensive records of demonic cultivation methods, demonic cultivators were like rats in the gutter.
Some turned to demonic cultivation due to poverty, some because of poor talent, some because of past humiliation, and some simply because they were psychopaths.
For this reason, demonic cultivators emerged every year, and demonic techniques continued to evolve endlessly.
On the battlefield, Guo Duan continued his relentless slaughter.
With every person he killed, Guo Duan gained a new resource.
Even if Guo Duan was accidentally overwhelmed and killed, as long as the part of his body containing his spirit core survived, he could possess any corpse and continue fighting.
The strategy of ganging up on him was practically useless.
It was likely that once Guo Duan finished off the crowd, he would come for Ye Wangchuan to settle the score.
