Celestial Burning Treasure Scroll—Scattered Red Lotus!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

Dozens of fire lotus petals pierce through the void like a torrential storm, dragging long trails of flame, shooting towards Yang Qiu overwhelmingly!

"Petty tricks!"

Yang Qiu frowned and urged the pagoda to block.

The pagoda glowed with a lustrous sheen, swallowing the fire lotus petals into its belly.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"

However, in just a moment, the Middle Grade Second Tier pagoda was burned full of holes!

Ghostly blue flames drilled through the holes, bypassing Yang Qiu’s protective Spiritual Qi, directly scorching his left arm!

"Ah!!"

Yang Qiu screamed mournfully; in a careless moment, the flesh of his left arm was burned away, leaving behind stark white bones.

"Senior Sister, I’ll help you!"

Jin’er’s face turned pale, and sweat covered her forehead.

This high-explosion magic spell barrage was putting a great strain on her meridians.

But she gritted her teeth and flicked her fingertips, continuously sending fire lotus after fire lotus smashing towards Yang Qiu, battering his protective magical treasures until they cried out one after another.

"Good!"

With Jin’er suppressing Yang Qiu’s protective treasures, Zhiwei’s pressure was greatly reduced.

The flying sword turned into a bolt of lightning, following the openings created by the fire lotus, adding several deep bones-revealing cuts to Yang Qiu’s body.

"Damn it! What on earth is this sinister fire?!"

Yang Qiu was shocked.

Originally, this black-haired sword cultivator was only at Foundation Establishment Second Layer. No matter how exquisite her swordsmanship, it would be difficult to break through his various defenses.

But now...

He couldn’t withstand the fire cultivator’s demonic fire at all!

Once an opening appeared, relying on that girl’s sharp swordsmanship, she completely had the chance to kill him in one strike!

One must know,

Even though he was the True Inheritor of Ten Thousand Puppets, all his abilities were based on puppets!

But in just a moment.

Yang Qiu was already stained with blood all over, and on the other side, the corpse puppet, unable to receive its master’s support, showed signs of being suppressed...

He looked at the corpse puppet in distress.

Only to see that silver-haired girl...seemed to have grown a lot?

Her eyes flickered with a red glow, her expression cold, wielding a distorted flying sword. The sword light was domineering, continuing to cut off three arms of the blood hand!

"Do you really think...I have no way to deal with you?!"

Yang Qiu shouted furiously, his skeletal left hand suddenly stabbed into his own chest!

"Crack!"

Amidst the horrifying sound of bones snapping.

Yang Qiu actually pulled out a bizarre bone puppet from beneath his ribs, shaped like a centipede but with a baby head!

"Parasitic Parent-Child Evil! Go, drain the fire-spitting little wretch dry!"

Yang Qiu spat out a mouthful of black blood mixed with pieces of internal organs, roaring insanely.

"Whoosh—"

The infant skull puppet transformed into a nearly invisible pale blood line, skimming over the ground’s blind spot, bypassing Qing Jun entangled by the eight-armed wraith corpse, avoiding Zhiwei busy battling Yang Qiu, and charging straight at Jin’er!

"What?!"

Jin’er’s pupils contracted.

The bone puppet moved too fast; by the time she gathered a trace of divine fire in her palm, the bone joints bristling with spikes had already closed in on her!

"Hiss—" The infant skull emitted an ear-piercing shriek, its sharp bone claws slashing down fiercely!

"Bang!"

Jin’er barely managed to dodge, but the bone claws still tore through her protective Spiritual Light, cutting three deep bones-revealing wounds on her body!

Bright red blood stained her sleeves, and a chilling evil Qi rushed straight to her heart through the wound.

"Ugh..."

Jin’er groaned, staggered to the ground, and the fire magic pooled in her palm was forced to halt.

The infant skull puppet, seeing it failed to kill with one strike, let out a strange cry, its sharp lower jaw bones opened, rushing towards Jin’er’s throat!

"Frost...Frostfire!"

Jin’er bit her lip and summoned the Upper Grade Second Tier flying sword given by her master, barely blocking the infant skull puppet.

But this infant skull puppet was insanely frenzied, its mouth full of tiny sharp teeth biting firmly onto the Frostfire’s blade.

Sparks flew!

Jin’er, delicate and weak, was not skilled at close combat.

Plus, she had previously unleashed magic relentlessly, making her meridians ache at this moment, causing her hands holding the sword to uncontrollably tremble.

"Hehehe..."

The infant skull puppet let out an extremely eerie childlike laughter, its centipede-like white bone spikes whipping fiercely at Jin’er’s already weakened protective Spiritual Light like a storm!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The protective Spiritual Light flashed violently, growing dimmer and dimmer.

Finally, with a "crack" sound, it shattered like porcelain!

"Ugh!" Jin’er’s throat tasted sweet as she was shaken back repeatedly by the forceful impact, Frostfire flying out from her grasp, embedding diagonally into the charred and dried stone.

A wide-open vulnerability!

The infant skull puppet saw it, its hollow eye sockets flashing with venomous red light, its centipede legs exerting force, mouth wide open, charging at Jin’er’s fair neck!

"How dare you hurt her!"

Zhiwei yelled, eyes full of rage.

Without hesitation, she abandoned Yang Qiu, already forced to show an opening, taking three Gourd Sword Flying Lights, merging them into three-colored sword glows, concentrating them in her hands.

"Great Evolution Wind-Thunder Sword Array!"

The three Gourd Swords occupied positions across heaven and earth, aiming directly at the infant skull puppet!

Seeing the infant skull puppet enduring the Upper Grade Second Tier Frostfire,

Zhiwei deeply understood that using ordinary sword techniques at this moment would only wound the infant skull puppet, unable to stop it from harming Jin’er, so she resorted to a killer move!

Originally...this sword array was meant for Yang Qiu.

But, slaying Yang Qiu’s blood-and-flesh-refined infant skull puppet would certainly cause him serious injury!
