Supreme Emptiness

They couldn't believe it.

There truly was reinforcements coming.

And they were going to attack the overwhelming Beast Kings!

Even an elder of the Fifth Level of Core Formation might not dare to venture in alone, right?

However.

That unique spiritual power of the Human Clan couldn't be faked!

Liang Feiyan showed an expression of finding hope in a desperate situation and exclaimed, "Someone is coming to rescue us!"

Jin Zhongming was also overjoyed and said, "It doesn't matter if this person is an elder of the Nine-Sect or a powerful member of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

"If I am saved, I will surely kneel down and express my gratitude!"

Xia Chaoge was also somewhat surprised.

Someone actually dared to come to rescue them.

And just one person?

But this undoubtedly gave them great hope.

He decisively said, "Break through to the rear and meet up with this person!"

The three of them mustered their spirits, defending against the attacking demon beasts in front.

And killing the Beast Kings behind them.

They retreated with great difficulty.

On the other side.

Jiang Fan also felt immense pressure facing the dense group of Beast Kings.

Although their strength wasn't very strong.

They were generally at the First and Second Layers of Core Formation, with very few at the Third Layer.

But their numbers were truly too many.

One careless move and Jiang Fan could easily get injured.

Fortunately.

The canyon itself was narrow, while the Beast Kings were enormous in size.

Despite their large numbers, they couldn't exploit their numerical advantage.

Only three demon beasts at the front could attack at a time, while the ones behind could only wait.

This gave Jiang Fan a chance.

Otherwise, if it were a flat land.

A swarm of fifty to sixty beast-sized demon beasts attacking at once would only leave him the option to flee.

"Heaven and Earth Star Fall!"

"Regretful Dragon!"

"Sky Opening!"

"Thunder Dragon Lightning Leg!"

...

Jiang Fan wielded his Sorrow Frost Sword, using various cultivation techniques.

Each move could kill a demon beast.

Soon, more than a dozen Beast Kings fell.

But the Beast Kings behind them still charged forward relentlessly.

Jiang Fan slightly panted.

The consumption of his spiritual power was also considerable.

Only then did he start to realize something was wrong.

"This is...a wheel battle?"

The Fifth-Level and Fourth-Level Core Formation Beast Kings were nowhere to be seen.

Only the Beast Kings at the early stage of Core Formation were charging forward.

This strategy, forget a Fifth-Level Core Formation Human.

Even a Seventh-Level Core Formation Human falling into the midst of the Beast Kings would be exhausted to death.

"There is a high-level strategist behind these Beast Kings."

"I just don't know if it's someone from my Human Clan or the Demon Race."

Jiang Fan slightly narrowed his eyes: "But a wheel battle won't work on me."

Taking advantage of the Beast Kings' attack interval.

He took out a previously refined Replenishing Spirit Pill.

This pill, like the Revitalizing Pill, was an extremely high-grade third-grade Spirit Pill.

Just one pill can quickly restore all spiritual power for an early-stage Core Formation martial artist.

He held it in his mouth.

Waiting until his spiritual power was almost depleted before taking action.

Meanwhile.

In a certain part of the Beast King tide.

A snake demon with an aura at the Fifth Level of Core Formation held the position at the rear of the Beast Kings.

Four black-robed figures sat cross-legged on its body, with dragon-patterned masks on their faces.

Both men and women.

And the snake demon at Fifth Level of Core Formation they sat on had dull eyes and no expression.

As if it had lost its soul.

"Senior Sister Wu's puppetry technique is indeed worth a thousand armies!"

"Controlling this Beast King snake demon allows her to control the subordinate Beast Kings through it."

Among the four.

A curvaceous woman with long, wavy hair sat cross-legged on the snake's head.

Holding a mysterious black flag in her hand.

Some black mist faintly appeared within the small flag.

If Leng Qingzhu were here.

She would definitely recognize that this Senior Sister Wu was a practitioner of the Puppetry Technique in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, so terrifying that all the disciples were fearful of her.

Wu Manyue!

A Fifth-Level Core Formation practitioner, also adept at Puppetry Technique.

If struck by her spells, one would become a puppet, just like the Fifth-Level Core Formation snake she sat upon.

Not only life and death controlled by her.

Even actions would be beyond one's control.

Who wouldn't fear such a near-demonic magic?

Wu Manyue stretched out her long fingers, gently caressing the black flag, saying:

"Unfortunately, I can only control one puppet at a time."

"If there were no limits, it would be wonderful. Controlling all the Beast Kings here to kill each other, and we would only need to wait until the end to collect the demon cores one by one."

"Of course, it's not too late now."

Her demonic red lips curved slightly: "Just the right time, three fools broke into the canyon."

"Let them do the hard work of killing these demon beasts for us."

The Puppetry Technique was indeed strange.

But it wasn't all-powerful.

Although she controlled the snake demon leader, she could only use this leader to gather its subordinate Beast Kings into the narrow canyon.

Giving the snake demon leader the order to have these Beast Kings kill each other.

Those with spiritual wisdom wouldn't follow such commands.

After much effort.

Wu Manyue found this suitable place to gather the Beast Kings.

In the narrow canyon, the Beast Kings faced slaughter and couldn't disperse to escape.

They had no choice but to be butchered by the four of them.

Until their spiritual power was exhausted.

Although this meant that at least half of the Beast Kings would escape while they replenished their spiritual power.

There was no other option.

A martial artist's spiritual power was limited.

But.

Just as they were about to take action, they discovered Xia Chaoge and the others had entered.

So they adapted their plan.

Letting the Beast Kings employ a wheel battle strategy against them, using their efforts to reduce the number of Beast Kings.

Finally, the four of them would strike and kill the remaining Beast Kings.

In this way, they could secure all the demon cores of the Beast Kings here.

Thinking of this.

Wu Manyue excitedly licked her bright red lips: "A hundred Beast Kings, which translates to two thousand merit points."

"Enough for two Nascent Soul One-Strike Jade Tokens!"

"It's worth it to have consumed a precious Puppet Flag."

The Puppet Flag in her hand was an inheritance she accidentally discovered.

There were only five flags.

She had used three before this.

Now, in order to obtain Nascent Soul One-Strike Jade Tokens, she decided to use another one from the remaining two.

But the harvest was immense.

Two Nascent Soul One-Strike Jade Tokens were about to be secured!

The other three were also burning with desire.

One of the disciples hesitated slightly and asked, "How should we deal with the three Nine-Sect disciples?"

Wu Manyue nonchalantly replied, "How else would we deal with them?"

"Shall we leave them alive to fight over the demon cores with us?"

The three's expressions turned stern.

Were they going to...kill them?

Wu Manyue chuckled, "They will die because of depleted spiritual power, falling to the hands of demon beasts."

"We are not the ones who killed them."

"What's there to feel guilty about?"

"Besides, they aren't weak. They should also have some demon cores on them."

The three's expressions stiffened.

Though she said so.

Even if they weren't directly killed by them, they would still die due to their scheme.

What's the difference?

Wu Manyue's gaze turned cold: "If you are so kind-hearted, then you can take their place!"

The three shrank back.

Daring not to say more.

Just then.

Wu Manyue suddenly stood up, seemingly sensing something, and looked towards the other end of the canyon.

Her pretty face changed slightly: "There are reinforcements?"

"And strong reinforcements at that!"

After carefully sensing it for a moment, her tension eased, revealing a hint of sneer.

"Turns out it's just one person."

"Then there's nothing to worry about."

"Those Beast Kings are enough to exhaust their spiritual power."

She sat back down with a smile.

Taking out a wine pot and a cup.

Pouring herself a cup, she raised it in a distant toast towards the other end of the canyon.

"Keep it up, kill more Beast Kings for us."

"Hee hee hee!"
