NOVPUB"Is this the reliance he had for quickly killing two Nascent Soul Cultivators?"
As the middle-aged man with yellow hair missed with his throwing knives, losing track of the spider, he immediately bellowed.
The throwing knives assailed in a disorderly burst!
However, eerily, the knives did not manage to hit anything.
The middle-aged man with yellow hair seemed to be in a furious rage, instantly enlarging the range!
Yet, he did not notice at all.
Within the invisible expanse, the giant wooden spider moved with a bizarre and astonishing speed, rapidly closing in on Wang Ba.
Eight monocular eyes reflected Wang Ba’s figure.
Growing rapidly larger.
In the darkness, a pair of cold eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness.
Then—
The legs penetrated in an instant...
Whoosh!
The eyes in the darkness instantly contracted!
"Is this...a trap?!"
In his view.
A huge Black Dragon suddenly unfurled from the opponent’s sleeve, standing in the way of the legs!
Thud!
The collision of the legs with the Black Dragon burst out with a loud noise.
Immediately beneath the Black Dragon, a startling sword light flashed from a gap, striking the legs.
Amidst a most unpleasant sound, the legs, which seemed as tough as ore, were instantly severed!
The sword light continued without abating, striking the spider’s body.
The spider trembled mightily, and then quickly exposed itself in the air, stumbling as it flew towards the distance.
With the Black Dragon entwined around him, Wang Ba did not give chase out of caution but quickly flew backward instead.
Sure enough, in an instant, two black-clad figures appeared out of thin air, standing behind the spider.
At the same time, the middle-aged man with yellow hair and Zhao Feng both flew back to Wang Ba’s side.
The yellow-haired middle-aged man looked at Wang Ba with a deep shock in his eyes.
Wang Ba, cautiously watching the giant wooden spider in the distance, said:
"There should be only one Puppet Master here."
Zhao Feng, with a solemn expression, quickly added:
"Moreover, this person can control thirty-six Class III humanoid puppets and this Class IV spider puppet at the same time. His realm should not exceed the early stage of Nascent Soul..."
The yellow-haired middle-aged man glanced at Wang Ba, losing the recklessness from before, and quickly said with a calm face:
"Judging by the precision with which he controls his puppets, his body must be either hidden within these puppets or nearby on the periphery!"
"Sending this person from the Three Continents is quite clever. If it were a cultivator between middle and late-stage Nascent Soul, the Arrays of Juhai City and Buxi City would easily detect them with such a high realm..."
The three of them tacitly exchanged their observations quickly.
Wang Ba could not help but ask quickly, "Do you have confidence in winning against him?"
Zhao Feng shook his head without hesitation:
"These puppets are made of a very special material, extremely tough. If I put forth all my effort, perhaps I could sever a few..."
The yellow-haired middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and then shook his head as well:
"The bodies of Puppet Masters are often frail. If we could find his body, it would be easy, but we most likely won’t be able to find it."
Wang Ba’s heart sank.
He couldn’t help but look towards the horizon, but he did not see the figure that should have appeared.
He gritted his teeth slightly: "Can your fellow Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Longevity Sect really make it here?"
"Definitely!"
The yellow-haired middle-aged man said without hesitation.
As they were talking.
The black-clad figures in the distance began to throw living beings into the sacrificial cauldron on the altar one after another.
And the spider once again vanished from sight.
As if hiding in the darkness, continuing to look for opportunities.
Within the cauldron, the blood surged even more fiercely.
All three of them turned grim.
"Blood Sacrifice!"
In Wang Ba’s heart, his previous conjecture became even more certain.
The Three Continents’ Cultivators were clearly planning to create chaos in the rear, to tie down the hands of the cultivators at the front.
And once high-level cultivators really came to the front, what would likely follow would be a full-scale attack by the Three Continents’ Cultivators!
Wang Ba’s gaze swept over the increasingly sparse living beings below.
He looked at Zhao Feng and the yellow-haired cultivator.
Subconsciously, he touched the pouch inside his sleeve.
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and handed a Magic Tool to Zhao Feng from his Storage Treasure, then said:
"Senior Brother, you are far faster than I am. Hurry to Juhai City, and you must deliver this item to our Master. Also, be sure to tell him not to send anyone here!"
Zhao Feng and the yellow-haired middle-aged man were both stunned.
The yellow-haired middle-aged man couldn’t help but ask, "But do we just let the Blood Sacrifice continue over here?"
Zhao Feng was worried: "And what about you, Junior Brother?"
Wang Ba hesitated slightly, looking towards the yellow-haired middle-aged man, and then said solemnly:
"I will join forces with Jin to stop the Blood Sacrifice."
The yellow-haired middle-aged man: "???"
...
Buxi City.
Atop the city wall.
"...The Puppet Master from Dao Sheng should have headed for the capital of West Sea Country,"
said the white bird, speaking human language.
Listening to the white bird’s words,
Personal Disciple Xue looked towards the city in the clouds with a heavy expression, hesitated slightly, and finally resolved to speak:
"The capital of West Sea Country... we can’t go there. You should inform the Wanxiang Sect, they would likely head over."
"Not going?"
The surrounding cultivators were immediately taken aback.
Someone couldn’t help but whisper, "But what if the Three Continents’ Cultivators play tricks in the rear..."
Personal Disciple Xue looked at the others, his expression becoming grave: "Then let them play! This piece of information has made me even more certain... This time, it will definitely be a fierce battle, we cannot afford to spread our forces thin, we must give it our all!"
"If we win at the front, even if there are issues in the rear, we still have a chance to recover. But if we collapse at the front, then we truly have lost!"
