Cultivation through Skin Making

Chapter 173: 127. Breakthrough Late Stage Old Friends as Prisoners (4.4K Characters - Subscription Request)


Misty Sea.

Sun Family Copper Sparrow Island, blood flowed like a river.

Above, the veil of the flying palanquin was lifted and then fell again, concealing Song Yan's figure within.

All around, it became increasingly silent, leaving only the sound of wind and water, giving a feeling akin to "absolute silence in the Golden Throne Hall."

Song Yan appeared calm, but in reality, he was quite tense inside.

His recent move seemed to instantaneously kill General Gu, but in truth, it was rather a clever ploy.

One must know, General Gu had been fighting fiercely within the Absolute Profound Array with Tong Huzi for a long time, then seized the moment when the array opened slightly to dash out. At that time, its attention was focused on Blood Cliff. Although Blood Cliff wasn't as strong as it, he was still a formidable opponent that required effort to deal with.

Thus, when it made its move, it instantly broke through Blood Cliff's blockade, not expecting Song Yan to be waiting in the wings, seizing the opportunity to strike, and his first strike was twelve special strands of sword qi directly attacking the divine soul.

During a momentary lapse, through burning the Four-Tailed power, donning the Great Gale Boots, using the Kan Water Escape, and further augmenting speed with the Water Escape bestowed by the 'Ghost Shark, Water Abyss Flood Dragon', he instantly reached before it, directly using Changwang Hu's power to soul search and transform it into a minion, a one-stop process.

The move appeared unremarkable, but the choice of timing and use of power contained many calculations.

Furthermore, Song Yan discovered one thing: although the fox wolf's power was strong, the pressure he felt upon facing it was less than that of Gu Huangzi, yet Gu Huangzi seemed unable to best the fox wolf. While this had elements of power realm involved, there were undoubtedly other factors at play.

After pondering slightly, he figured it out.

Using words from before his transmigration, Gu Huangzi belonged to the "Clone System," with things like paper mannequins, blood corpses, soul hidden in bone, essentially like a nesting doll. In any case, good luck finding the true body, and as long as you can't find the true body, he'll have a way to kill you;

The fox and wolf races leaned somewhat towards "area attacks," whether it was the multi-tailed Dragon Bo Fox's magical body slamming down a palm over tens of meters, or the Corpse-Eating Wolf's howl that dispersed sound waves, stirred blood, and incited fear, regardless of where the target was, as long as you were in the attack's range, you'd have to endure the hit.

Hence, they restrained each other.

However, the Sword Cultivator was quite special.

No!

Not only the Sword Cultivator, but also his own "Hundred Forms Demon Body" was essentially the same.

That is, strong in single confrontation, very strong in small areas.

This ensured that he would be restrained by Gu Huangzi, but facing the fox wolf, he could hold an advantage.

In today's battle, he made just two moves.

One was to instantaneously kill Red Granny, the other to instantaneously kill General Gu.

Seemingly creating an image of an "indomitable golden body" in others' minds, yet in truth...only he knew how perilous it was, moving cautiously as on thin ice, fearing that even a small problem would mean not an instantaneous kill but a hard-fought battle.

In the flying palanquin, Song Yan leaned back slightly, closing his eyes to regulate his breath, rapidly reviewing the recent battle, extracting lessons to improve himself while beginning to contemplate what needed to be done next.

He did not relish this feeling of being "above all like a sovereign ruling the world"; he felt only urgency and pressure.

His time was running out.

The arrival date of the Purple Mansion demons will certainly advance.

Being able to kill Red Granny and General Gu, the arriving Purple Mansion demons would likely also increase in strength, reaching an utterly insurmountable level.

Where before there was only "Changwang Hu," now undoubtedly there was another.

That is, "why was he so fortunately able to extract Changwang Hu's blood, had he extracted multi-tailed fox blood, and did he extract Corpse-Eating Wolf blood after killing General Gu?"

Whether he did or didn't, it was enough to show he possessed some terrifying chance or treasure.

This point would likely pique the interest of demons, righteous and evil human cultivators alike. After all, Song Yan was deeply aware of the human race's suffering from the harm of erysipelas...

...

Thoughts flashed through Song Yan's mind in the flying palanquin.

Outside the flying palanquin, the severed arm of the white-haired blood corpse, cut by the bloody light, suddenly grew fleshy sprouts on both sides, pulling and hooking, rapidly healing again.

A potent vitality has always been a characteristic of blood corpses.

Blood Cliff stowed the white-haired blood corpse, and together with the equally astonished Tong Huzi, Qu Yue, came to the outside of the palanquin and respectfully asked, "What other orders does the sect leader have?"

Song Yan said, "Kill all the fox cubs, then pile the corpses; I want them. Besides, arrange some people to go to the mortal dynasty to take care of the fox demons hiding outside."

The three responded in unison, "Yes!"

Blood Cliff stepped forward, respectfully asking, "Sect Leader, what about the Sword Sect?"

Song Yan asked, "How is the current situation?"

Blood Cliff quickly replied, "Some of the remnants are holding out on Luoxia Bamboo Island; Water Bo Sword Emperor has not appeared, surely dead by now. If we are to attack the island, breaking the array is only a matter of time.

On the other islands, many sword cultivators continue to hold out, but...at this point they must be either dead, wounded, or captured.

The old woman thinks, captured ones are quite numerous, after all, these sword cultivators are top-notch good furnaces, excellent for cultivation."

Song Yan fell silent for a moment.

Before attacking a city in the mortal world, promising the spoils to the soldiers is what drives them to fight fiercely; Puppet Sect is the same. Otherwise, what you seize isn't yours, the people aren't yours, what's there to fight for?

As Song Yan, he didn't like this.

But as the Puppet Sect Leader, he couldn't dislike it, unless he could overthrow the thousand-year rules of the Puppet Sect and usher in a major transformation.
