A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality (Chapter 1401-Chapter 1600)

A rapid string of clangs rang out as the staff projections were able to smash open the frosty light, opening up an escape path for Mu Qing.

However, more waves of frosty light surged forth to replenish the chink that had been inflicted by the staff projections, and it was as if there were no end to this lethal light. All of a sudden, the two black rods were sliced apart by the frosty light, and the staff projections immediately faded as a result.

Mu Qing was stunned to see this, and she immediately withdrew her hands to try and unleash other abilities, only for the frosty light around her to completely inundate her body in a flash.

The suit of green armor that she was wearing only managed to remain intact for a few moments before it was also sliced apart, and a howl of anguish rang out, followed by deathly silence.

It appeared that Mu Qing had been killed, just like that.

The white-haired beauty looked on with wide eyes and her mouth gaped open, unable to believe what she had just witnessed. She was well aware of the fact that Mu Qing was definitely no less powerful than her, yet the crimson-armored puppet had managed to kill her in what seemed like the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the puppet pointed a finger toward the frosty light, and the light converged to form the silver chopper again.

Beneath the chopper, Mu Qing's body had been sliced into countless pieces, and her remains were hovering in mid-air. Strangely enough, the pieces of her body weren't shedding so much as a single drop of blood, as if she didn't even possess a body of flesh and blood.

The crimson-armored puppet merely took a brief glance at her remains before paying them no further heed.

It had already identified that Mu Qing possessed a wood spirit body, so it wasn't strange at all that she didn't bleed like normal living beings.

The puppet let loose a sinister chuckle as it cast an incantation seal with one hand, and the chopper immediately flew forth again, heading for the Purpleblood Puppet this time.

With the puppet's massive body, it was an ideal target.

The crimson-armored puppet had originally intended to strike only after the demon monarchs had expended all of their magic power, but Liu Zu had descended into the pond, and he knew of a method to sever spirit veins.

This made the crimson-armored puppet a lot more flustered and concerned.

If the connection between this pond and the spirit vein really were severed, he'd still be dealt a severe punishment even if he managed to kill these intruders.

That was why it was unable to wait any longer.

However, much to its surprise, Mu Qing had been extremely alert and set up countless invisible spirit threads in the nearby area, thereby allowing her to detect the puppet's location.

However, that didn't matter to the puppet anyway.

He possessed the insanely powerful Five Dragon Chopper and he had the Infernal Lightning Beasts on his side, while his enemies had already expended a lot of their spiritual power in the preceding battle. With so many factors in its favor, it would be a simple task for it to kill all of the intruders.

The crimson-robed figure stood atop the Purpleblood Puppet's shoulder, and a hint of fear flashed through his eyes at the sight of the oncoming silver chopper. He immediately pointed a finger toward the chopper, and the massive crimson ball before him tremored, then shot forth at a streak of crimson light.

Almost at the exact same moment, the Purpleblood Puppet beneath his feet began to rapidly shrink amid flashes of purple light, reverting back down to the size of a normal human being in the blink of an eye. Immediately thereafter, its six eyes flashed in unison, and six pillars of crimson light erupted from within its pupils, hurtling forth in hot pursuit behind the crimson ball.

The crimson-robed figure descended beside the Purpleblood Puppet just as the silver streak of light plunged soundlessly into the crimson ball, and this was quite a welcoming sight to him.

This crimson ball was not something that was manifested by normal blood essence. Instead, it was something that he'd refined from the Myriad Year Impure Qi that he'd collected, and it specialized in corrupting all types of treasures with a 100% success rate to date.

The silver chopper was indeed quite powerful, but there was no way that it would remain completely unaffected by this crimson ball.

Just as these thoughts were flashing through the crimson-robed figure's mind, a loud explosion erupted, and the smile on his face immediately stiffened.

The crimson ball had been punctured by boundless silver light in a flash before exploding into a cloud of repugnant blood mist.

The mist only drifted in the air for a few moments before it dissipated as putrid black Qi.

At this moment, the silver streak of light that was the Five Dragon Chopper crashed into the six pillars of crimson light.

As soon as the two opposing forces made contact with one another, the silver light wavered slightly, and it was slowed down a little for the first time.

The six pillars of light struck it one after another, causing the silver streak of light to tremor as it reverted back to its original chopper form.

The crimson-robed figure's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly made a hand seal.

The pillars of crimson light then immediately converged to form a massive crimson sword, which clashed with the Five Dragon Chopper.

The chopper was incredibly sharp, but it was unable to immediately slice the crimson sword in half, and its progress was temporarily stalled as a result.

A vicious light flashed through the crimson-armored puppet's eyes upon seeing this, and it recited a mantra in its mind.

Brilliant silver light immediately erupted from the Five Dragon Chopper as boundless frosty light erupted forth again.

In the end, the crimson sword was sliced into several segments by the frosty light before disintegrating into a ball of crimson light.

The crimson-robed figure hurriedly opened his mouth to expel a mouthful of blood essence upon seeing this.

The blood essence then transformed into several crimson runes that swayed in front of him before abruptly disappeared without a trace.

In the next instant, crimson light flashed erratically in the distance before converging again to form another crimson flying sword.

The flying sword emitted a faint ringing sound as it clashed with the Five Dragon Chopper again, not allowing the fearsome treasure to continue down its intended route.

After witnessing Mu Qing's spontaneous death, the white-haired beauty had become quite fearful of the Five Dragon Chopper, but she was ecstatic to see the crimson-robed figure's flying sword keeping it at bay.

Thus, she turned her attention away from the black formation descending from above and hurriedly flipped her hand over to produce a black leather pouch, which she tossed up into the air.

The pouch gently tipped itself over, and a burst of grey Yin Qi gushed forth from within in a frenzy. Over 100 Yin Armor Profound Ghosts appeared within the Yin Qi, but these ones were far more imposing in stature than the normal ghostly soldiers she'd refined.

She had kept this ghostly army up her sleeve this entire time as a trump card of sorts.

The white-haired beauty then let loose a sharp screech before pointing a finger at the crimson-armored puppet in the distance.

All of the ghostly soldiers immediately heeded her call, brandishing their weapons as they rushed toward the puppet atop gusts of Yin winds.

The crimson-armored puppet merely chuckled coldly upon seeing this.

It turned to the ghostly being beside it, which had the head of a horse and the body of a human, and asked, "Can I count on you to take care of those things?"

"Rest assured, Master, I'll eradicate these low-grade ghostly beings with ease." The horse-headed ghostly being's body was remarkably translucent, and it gave a respectful bow in response to the puppet's question.
