Ding Nian judged that danger was approaching through the sound of footsteps.
"Senior Ding, what happened?"
Liu Wuxie asked quickly.
The surrounding air began to condense, and the area that the ghost eyes could see became increasingly limited.
The footsteps were very regular and came from several directions at the same time.
"A large number of puppets are approaching us, let's avoid them as soon as possible."
Ding Nian said quickly.
While they were underground, they destroyed some of the puppets, but that was when the puppets did not resist.
Now the alchemy gate has activated the puppets. These puppets seem to be dead, but they are not dead. They still retain a lot of memories, but this memory is controlled by the alchemy gate.
Through the mysterious Gu, these puppets can be controlled and allowed to fight.
What's even more frightening is that these puppets are not afraid of death. Even if their heads are cut off, their bodies can still move.
It looks like a zombie, but is hundreds of times scarier than a zombie.
Liu Wuxie frowned when he heard a large number of puppets coming towards them.
No matter in the past life or in this life, I have never dealt with the Alchemy Sect, let alone fought with the puppets.
The puppets made of metal can only be regarded as puppet beasts, also called machine beasts.
The humanoid puppets refined by the Alchemy Sect are no different from normal humans except that they cannot think independently.
They still master the martial arts skills and immortal skills they had in life, and can even mobilize the vast immortal energy to fight.
The alchemist only controlled their souls and did not harm their bodies.
When he was underground, Liu Wuxie glanced at the puppets and found that many of them were in the Immortal Emperor Realm during their lifetime, and countless more were in the Immortal Venerable Realm.
For tens of thousands of years, all the monks who entered Chiyue City or passed by were captured by the Alchemy Sect.
"Brother, we are surrounded."
There was a solemn look in Fucang's eyes.
Judging from the footsteps, the Alchemy Sect sent nearly a hundred puppets this time.
"Prepare to break out!"
Ding Nian pricked up his ears. After determining the number of puppets, he chose to break out from the street on the right.
This is a unique method for exorcists. They can judge the puppet's cultivation level through the sound of footsteps. Liu Wuxie does not have this ability.
Holding the Jialuo Divine Dagger, he followed behind the two of them, sacrificed a ray of divine consciousness, and entered the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Cauldron.
"Senior Yuan, how long will it take for you to recover from your injury?"
There will definitely be a tough battle next. With just the three of them, it will be difficult to break out, and Yuan Fengshan needs to take action.
Linchuan and the others have lower cultivation levels, so the recovery of the soul sea is much slower.
"Give me one more stick of incense time, and the soul sea will be completely restored."
Yuan Fengshan has woken up and can communicate normally.
He was also very anxious at this moment. Although he didn't know what was going on outside, he could tell from Liu Wuxie's words that they were facing a life-or-death crisis.
Liu Wuxie nodded and withdrew his consciousness. The three of them only needed to suppress the puppet for a stick of incense.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Liu Wuxie took a deep breath, and all his energy and energy reached their peak state.
Through the dark mist, dozens of figures could be seen vaguely. They stood in a row, marching in uniform steps, blocking their way.
"Ao Ba, Ao Qing, Zi Yan, Heizi, prepare to fight."
Liu Wuxie called out, asking them to prepare for the battle.
As for Xiaoyin, he didn't greet her for the time being.
Every time she was asked to do something, she would negotiate the terms first.
The last time I promised to be later, I was killed by the Forgotten Corpse.
Ao Ba nodded. Their cultivation had reached a peak and it was difficult for them to be promoted. They could only improve their combat skills through fighting.
Heizi is even more of a militant, wishing he could fight every day.
"Wuxie, the weak point of the puppets is between their eyebrows. As long as the eyebrows are broken, they can be killed."
After Ding Nian stopped his body, he said to Liu Wuxie.
Liu Wuxie nodded. It was his first time fighting a puppet and he had little experience. Fortunately, Ding Nian gave him a warning.
"Don't let the puppets catch you. Once caught, the worms in their bodies will instantly worm their way into your body, control your body, and become one of them."
Ding Nian told him again.
Liu Wuxie nodded. Without the traceless armor to protect his body, he was really at a loss when it came to fighting.
The puppets were getting closer and closer to them, and the road ahead was blocked.
"war!"
Ding Nian took the first step, his body was like a shooting star, and his long sword pierced the foreheads of several puppets.
Fucang followed closely behind.
Liu Wuxie stood still, using his ghost eyes to observe the changes in the puppet's body.
After some observation, I discovered a strange phenomenon. When the puppet moves its body, it is obviously unnatural, especially when it turns its head, it is extremely stiff.
Although he has retained his abilities during his lifetime, independent thinking and manipulation by others are completely different concepts.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"
Ding's long sword easily locked the puppet's eyebrows.
There was no spray of blood, but a sound of metal collision. The brows of these puppets were extremely hard.
"No, go back!"
Ding Nian failed to hit a single blow and retreated quickly.
Fucang's attack also made a crackling sound when it landed on the puppet.
"No wonder these puppets move relatively stiffly. They turned out to be refined into bronze-armored corpses."
After Ding Nian stepped back, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes.
"Senior brother, since there are bronze-armored corpses, will the Alchemy Sect refine golden-armored corpses and magic-armored corpses?"
Fucang asked his senior brother.
Liu Wuxie couldn't understand what they were saying. The Alchemy Sect had disappeared for countless years, and information about alchemy in the fairy world was extremely scarce.
Even in the previous life, I only knew a few words from Master.
"Probably!"
Ding Nian nodded. The little bronze-armored corpses were so hard that even the immortals could not break through their defense.
If they were golden-armored corpses, even the Immortal Emperor would find it difficult to kill them.
More than a dozen bronze-armored corpses attacked brazenly. They had no weapons, but they grabbed them with their palms.
A suffocating scene appeared. The nails of each bronze-armored corpse were growing crazily.
The nails that were very short just now turned into over a foot long in less than half a breath.
Like a sharp sword, it emits a cold luster and looks extremely terrifying in the dark night.
"Senior Ding, what's going on?"
Liu Wuxie couldn't understand why the puppet's nails grew so fast.
"These bronze-armored corpses have been soaked in corpse water all year round. They are no longer ordinary puppets. They have mutated in their bodies and have mastered some zombie abilities."
Ding Nian tightened his sword and explained to Liu Wuxie.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
