The Great Sage was furious, he raised his hand to try to grab Huo Chengzhi, but he was pushed back by the two generals witunch, blood spewing out of his mouth.
"Hahahahahaha..."
Huo Chengzhi laughed crazily, he really enjoyed the feeling of being able to control other people's lives. Every time he got to this point, he would become mad with joy.
Seeing that, a cunning look flashed past the Great Sage's eyes. He turned his back and secretly madand gesture for Chu Yun.
Chu Yun was currently dealing with the Black Demon, dodging left and right in a sorry state. After seeing the Great Sage's gesture, Chu Yun immediately understood and reacted, using all of his strength to control the heavenly blade. He quickly slashed out, and the heavenly blade turned into a dragon, slashing across the sky with a black light!
Saber Intent!
Berserk Dragon Blade Art!
Fast, too fast!
Huo Chengzhi was simply too close to the Great Sage, and did not notice the heavenly blade that came from the bottom of his feet at all.
"Chi!"
The heavenly blade slashed horizontally, and the wild dragon's aura instantly dissipated.
Huo Chengzhi's pupils intensely shrank as he fiercely held onto his abdomen and hissed, "You … Chu Yun, you … "
What happened next shocked him, a thin red line visible to the naked eye suddenly appeared on Huo Chengzhi's waist, then the upper half of his body, unexpectedly split apart, as warm blood sprayed out, splashing all over the ground.
Chu Yun's body went soft, and he almost lost his balance.
That slash earlier was the strongest attack he could execute at his current cultivation level!
"Ugh …"
Blisters popped out of Huo Chengzhi's mouth as his eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness. He roared unclearly: "I … I don't want to die, I haven't completed my great mission, and I haven't even sat on the position of sect head … "
As his voice fell, Huo Chengzhi was filled with endless regret. His upper and lower body were separated, and his internal organs spilled all over the ground, looking extremely miserable.
Huo Chengzhi died. Although he possessed boundless ambition, and it took up both the sky and the earth, in the end, it was a coincidence. He was defeated by an accident.
Chu Yun's intrusion was in itself an accident.
"Damn, he's finally dead!"
Chu Yun gasped for breath, his eyes filled with joy.
Fortunately, Huo Chengzhi was distracted in the blink of an eye. Otherwise, it was really possible that this slash wouldn't be able to kill him!
Even when Huo Chengzhi was distracted and did not have any defenses in place, he still used all the strength in his body to barely kill him.
If he was prepared in advance, the result would definitely be different!
Black Demon's ruby-like pupils suddenly dimmed, and then his massive body fell to the ground with a loud bang, unable to support itself.
The entire land quaked, and a deafening boom filled the air.
The two golden armored warlords were also frozen on the spot. The Great Sage let out a weird cry, reached out with his two palms and crushed their heads.
Previously, it had purposely shown weakness because it wanted to lure Huo Chengzhi over. This was Chu Yun's plan.
Just as expected, Huo Chengzhi really fell for his trick.
Tao Huan stood at the far end of the arena, and had already witnessed everything from start to finish. She rested for a long time before crying out, "Big Brother Yun is so strong! You actually thought of this kind of method …"
Chu Yun smiled bitterly, he truly did not have the strength to speak at all.
Although he hadn't suffered any injuries in the previous battle, the full power of the Qi had drained his spirit.
After resting for an hour, Chu Yun stood up again. He quickly walked over and searched Huo Chengzhi's body.
"No interspatial ring?"
Chu Yun was shocked, how could someone like Huo Chengzhi not have a spatial ring?
After confirming twice, there was indeed nothing. Chu Yun sighed helplessly, in the end, he did not manage to obtain anything from this battle.
"What's inside his spatial ring isn't important, this Black Demon is the biggest harvest."
Just as Chu Yun was feeling unbalanced, Huo Hongchang's voice suddenly came out.
Chu Yun immediately turned his head and looked at Huo Hongchang who was wounded all over and in a sorry state, he shrugged and said: "You saw it too, if I do not kill him, we will all die."
"I know."
Huo Hongchang's eyes were dim, his voice was filled with sorrow, even he did not expect that his younger brother, who he had not seen for decades, would actually become like this, filled with violence, resentment, and no emotions, leaving behind only a heart for revenge.
With his exceptional talent, if he walked out of the Thunder Swamp, it would probably be a disaster.
"Elder Huo, you said that the Black Demon is the greatest treasure, but I can't control it! To me, it's just chicken ribs, it'ity to forsake the taste of food. "
Chu Yun shook his head helplessly.
If it could be controlled properly, Black Demon, who was made entirely of Obsidian Stones, would definitely be a killing weapon. Even Xuan Wu Realm Warriors might not be its match. But the crux of the matter was that Huo Chengzhi, the only one capable of controlling him, was already dead. Black Demon was now lying on the ground, unable to even stand up, likile of scrap metal.
"I have a way to get you to control it."
There were no ripples in Huo Hongchang's eyes, and it was unclear whether it was due to his excessive grief.
But his words were like a bolt out of the blue, causing Chu Yun's entire body to be shocked. His eyes revealed dense surprise: "Elder Huo, are you serious?"
Huo Hongchang nodded, and said indifferently: "I have already decided, once we leave this place, I will hide in the forest, and not bother with worldly affairs. Huo Chengzhi told me before about the method to control the stone statue. I am passing it down to you now, it can be considered as a form of feedback towards the Hidden Dragon Pellet that you gave me! "
Chapter 144 - The Method of Control Couples
After Chu Yun heard this, he felt that it was a bit unexpected, and it was within reason.
Everyone knew that Huo Hongchang waerson who valued relationships greatly. His only family member turned out like this, and in the end, was killed by him. Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he definitely wouldn't feel good about it.
But from another point of view, he could be said to be's savior. If not for him, he very likely would have died in Huo Chengzhi's hands.
It was precisely because of this that Huo Hongchang would say that he had retired into the mountain forest and did not bother with worldly affairs.
"If this Elder Huo is willing to teach me, then this junior will naturally be forever grateful!"
Chu Yun didn't hide his fondness for Black Demon at all. If such a great killing tool could land in his hands, he would definitely be able to massacre everyone around him without any suspense.
Even if one met an expert with Xuan Wu Realm, there was no need to fear them.
"However, Elder Huo, you should recuperate your injuries first. I see that you are seriously injured …"
Huo Hongchang laughed involuntarily, Huo Hongchang's body was riddled with wounds, although he was at the seventh level of the True Martial Realm, he did not have Chu Yun's abnormal recovery rate.
"Time is of the essence. If we stay in the Thunder Abyss for too long, it will arouse the sect's suspicions. My small injuries are nothing to you. After which, I will impart this battle technique to you. Listen carefully... "
Huo Hongchang sat on a huge rock with his legs crossed and a solemn expression on his face.
Chu Yun nodded, then turned to Tao Huan and said: "Junior Peach, I'll trouble you to help us protect our clan!"
"No problem.
"
Tao Huan nodded. Since she had entered, she had not fought yet, so she felt a little itchy in her heart.
"This is the Puppet Control Skill, a martial skill that Huo Chengzhi learned and developed. Although it has not been appraised, it should be ranked arecious treasure. Cultivation isn't easy. Whether or not you can learn it all depends on your perception! "
Huo Hongchang's expression became serious, and he started chanting.
Chu Yun took out the Dao Understanding Platform, sat cross legged on it, then summoned his supreme battle spirit, increasing his comprehension to its highest level. He perked up his ears and listened carefully.
Aesult, it could be said that everything was prepared. If he couldn't learn the puppet controlling technique, then it could only mean that there was no difference in fate.
… ….
Inside Sunscorch Sect.
A beautiful woman wearing a blue robe was standing in front of a courtyard. Although she wasn't tall, her figure was extremely perfect, and her entire body was exuding a mature charm.
She frowned, obviously waiting for someone.
Coincidentally, a few girls passed by, the woman turned around and asked: "You guys, have you seen Tao Huan yet?"
"Ah, greetings to Elder Lin Yue!"
When the young ladies saw the beautiful woman, they immediately bowed in respect.
"Junior Peach, she went into the Thunder Swamp with the Elder Huo a while ago …"
"Yes, but what about me? Just a few days ago, Elder Huo sent Senior Brother Xu and the others back, saying that he would bring the rest of them into the Thunder Abyss to investigate."
Hearing the girl's words, Lin Yue was a little shocked, and could not help but ask: "Then what about Tao Huan, did she come back with you?"
"Junior Apprentice Sister, she didn't come back. She should have gone to Thunder Abyss …"
The young ladies stuck out their tongues. It was obvious that they were somewhat afraid of the Thunder Abyss.
"Nonsense, so ridiculous!"
Lin Yue was a bit angry and couldn't help but say angrily: "Tao Huan is only at the first level of the True Martial Realm, how can she enter the Thunder Abyss so easily. This Huo Hongchang is too much, he actually agreed, could it be that despite his age, he wants to let the younger generation do whatever they want? "
Seeing that Elder Lin Yue was infuriated, all the girls lowered their heads, not daring to say a single word.
"Forget it, help me relay a message. If Tao Huan comes back, ask her to come and find me!"
Lin Yue shook his head, his figure lightly stepping on the air, and floating away.
"Ai, I'm so envious of Junior Peach for having suceacher. He was willing to teach her anything, not concealing anything, giving it to her with everything he had."
The woman in the lead sighed. Her expression was somewhat lonely.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Junior Apprentice Sister's talent is good. A Profound Grade Four martial spirit is not something that anyone can have …"
The other young girl's face was filled with envy. This kind of talent was something she couldn't envy at all.
The girls chatted as they walked further and further away.
Lin Yue walked all the way back to his residence. She stood in the courtyard and looked at the peach tree beside the pavilion, thinking about something.
"Teacher."
She held a bowl of steaming hot porridge and carefully walked over: "I heard that when you were in closed door cultivation earlier, you almost went berserk, and your body was a little weak. This is hot porridge that is made from over thirty different types of spirit medicines, Teacher, you should drink it while it's still warm to make up for your body."
Lin Yue's beautiful eyes softened a little as she received the hot porridge with great gratification, praising: "Chen Yao, you're still the meticulous one."
The purple-clothed girl called Chen Yao had an extremely beautiful appearance. However, her delicate eyebrows were lowered, her eyes flickered, and her lips were thin and thin. With a single glance, one could tell that she was a woman with deep scheming.
"If Teacher is satisfied, then Chen Yao is relieved."
Chen Yao secretly let out a breath of relief, then casually changed the topic. "Teacher, the Sect's disciple exchange competition should be starting soon, right?"
"Mm, it will open in seven days. It could be said that the reward for the winner this time warecious medicinal pellet as well arecious martial skill. It was extremely bountiful. "
Lin Yue scooped up a spoonful of porridge and placed it in his mouth, immediately releasing a rich fragrance. The porridge was definitely difficult to bear, and from this it could be seen that Chen Yao was being serious.
"Then... What do you think of me, and what rank will I be placed in? "
Chen Yao cautiously asked.
Lin Yue thought for a while, then said: "You and Tao Huan are both my disciples, because you entered the sect earlier, when it came to the Buried Flower Saber Technique, you are more proficient at it than her. There aren't many experts in this exchange, so both of you havigh chance of making it into the top three. Especially you, as long as you perform well, you will definitely be able to enter the top three. If you are lucky, you might even be able to get first place! "
Hearing Lin Yue's praise, Chen Yao was delighted at first, but then he bitterly shook his head and said, "Teacher, I feel that it's still not good. Xu Zhiheng's three-eyed mastiff is just perfect to restrain my Buried Flower Saber Technique, and with Gong Yanjie's mutated Black Sea martial spirit, it's even more troublesome. "I've been training under teacher's tutelage for so long, this is my first competition. I don't want to embarrass teacher, but …"
"Your worries are correct. Not only the two of them, even Tao Huan, might not necessarily win; but because of the competition, there is no suspense for you to enter the top three."
Lin Yue encouraged with a smile.
It's just the top three! What I want isn't the top three!
Chen Yao complained in her heart.
She wanted to be number one because she wanted to obtain a precious martial skill as well aeward for the precious medicinal pellets.
This was also the reason why she came here today.
"Teacher, I heard that you have the most powerful move of the Buried Flower Sword Art, so you didn't teach it to us..."
"About that, I definitely do not have any other intentions. I just want to be the champion of this exchange to bring honor to teacher."
Chen Yao somewhat timidly raised her head, playing out her uneasy feelings to the best of her ability.
Lin Yue frowned, then shook his head: "This move is too powerful, I am considering my safety, and did not teach it to you and Tao Huan."
"Teacher, I want to learn this move!"
Chen Yao suddenly fell to her knees, her voice somewhat shaky.
"No, I treat you and Tao Huan the same, if she is not here, how can I teach you privately?"
Lin Yue firmly refused.
"Teacher, I really have no other intentions. I just want to learn this move and win the duel so that I won't embarrass teacher." If teacher feels that it's unfair, then when Junior Peach comes back, I'll teach her too. There are still seven days until the start of the competition, so there's no time left. "
Chen Yao pleaded in a low voice.
Lin Yue thought for a while, and was a little hesitant, he had to say that Chen Yao's words were logical, but he had a feeling that these words were not fair to Tao Huan.
In the end, she was still defeated by Chen Yao's soft words. She nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll teach you first!"
"Thank you, Teacher."
Chen Yao lowered her head, her eyes shining with excitement. In the depths of her eyes, a glimmer of ambition could be seen.
Tao Huan, I, Chen Yao will definitely be the champion of this competition, let's see on what grounds you can fight with me for it!
Precious pills and martial
skills will all be mine!
Just you wait, let me leave you far behind!
… ….
"Rise!"
Chu Yun's face was filled with nervousness as he carefully and carefully channeled spirit energy into Black Demon's body.
"Boom boom boom!"
Black Demon's body trembled a few times, as if he wanted to stand up. But after shaking a few times, he crashed onto the ground.
"Another failure …."
This was already the seventeenth attempt he had made in the past three days, but he was still unable to successfully control Black Demon in the end.
"Don't be impatient. You have to do two things at once. Just like how you use your Qi to control your blade, how you use your Qi to control your blade, is how you control Black Demon! "
Huo Hongchang stood at the side with his hands behind his back and a strict expression on his face.
Chu Yun took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said: "I will never give up!"
He once again separated out the spiritual energy and injected it into Black Demon's body. This time, his movements were extremely careful, and every step he took was very slow. He was trying his best to not make any mistakes.
Chu Yun had a feeling that his soul had flown into Black Demon's body, and was clumsily familiarizing itself with this new body.
This feeling had never appeared before during the previous seventeen times.
"There's hope!"
Chu Yun's eyes lit up. He continued to carefully control Black Demon, not daring to make the slightest mistake. He could not help but think in his heart: Stand up, stand up!
"Crack!"
This time, Black Demon's movements were much more nimble. He extended his hand to support himself on the ground, and stood up with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
"Big Brother Yun, you've succeeded."
Tao Huan's face was full of smiles, her two shallow dimples were extremely intoxicating.
Chu Yun did not dare to be negligent. Although he had already controlled Black Demon to stand up, he was still far from being able to move by himself.
