The unfamiliar cultivator causing trouble in the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion was, naturally, the Second Life Puppet dispatched by Li Qi.
Simultaneously, due to the Second Life Puppet's earlier aggressive disturbance, all the cultivators who had been purchasing pills in the pavilion had already fled.
In fact, for a considerable distance around the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion, there were no longer any external cultivators; everyone present belonged to the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion.
Four powerful cultivators at the Dao Integration stage surrounded the Second Life Puppet, their eyes filled with anger as they glared.
Upon hearing them, the Second Life Puppet's expression remained unchanged. A chilling smile spread across his face as he spoke, his voice unreserved, even amplified slightly.
"Hmph! What do you mean I'm causing trouble! You Cangyan Medicine Pavilion tried to sell me fake pills and cheat me of my money!"
Hearing the Second Life Puppet's words, the cultivators from the Void Black Market who had arrived upon hearing the commotion were stunned.
The Cangyan Medicine Pavilion selling fake pills?
What was going on?
Had the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion stooped so low as to sell fake pills just to make money?
Hearing the Second Life Puppet's accusation, the four cultivators from the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion immediately became enraged.
"Silence! How dare you spout nonsense. You killed our manager and now you slander us! Today, you will surely die!"
With that, terrifying auras erupted from the four Dao Integration cultivators.
Even though they were within the Void Black Market, they were prepared to act directly and kill the Second Life Puppet before them.
The Second Life Puppet, however, cared not whether they acted within the Void Black Market or not. He had come here precisely to cause trouble.
At the same time, the Second Life Puppet instantly activated the Extreme Burning Secret Technique, his body being drained to mere skin and bones in an instant.
A terrifying aura, not weaker than that of the four Dao Integration cultivators from the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion, emanated from him.
The two sides clashed fiercely.
The entire Cangyan Medicine Pavilion trembled and shook at that moment.
But then, intricate patterns emerged on the walls of the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion.
The trembling frequency suddenly lessened and then quickly disappeared.
"This is... a formation!"
And a not-weak defensive formation at that.
Seeing this, a hint of disappointment flickered in the Second Life Puppet's eyes.
One of his main objectives for fighting here was to use the aftermath of their battle to destroy the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion.
Unfortunately, the appearance of this formation made that idea impossible for the Second Life Puppet.
Subsequently, as the Second Life Puppet engaged in a fierce battle with the four Dao Integration cultivators from the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion, his gaze kept drifting towards the defensive formation.
The next moment, a look of surprise appeared in the Second Life Puppet's eyes.
Upon closer inspection, he found that the complexity of the formation was somewhat beyond his imagination.
It was a pity that only a Life Puppet was present here.
If Li Qi himself had come, with his innate abilities, he might have been able to seize control of this defensive formation instantly.
But it was obvious that Li Qi's current strength was not enough to face cultivators at the Tribulation Crossing stage, so he would not have come here to court death himself.
At this moment, the Dao Integration cultivators from the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion also noticed the state of the Second Life Puppet after activating the Extreme Burning Secret Technique.
During that encirclement battle, how could they, as Dao Integration cultivators, not have been present?
The current state of the Second Life Puppet was exactly the same as the First Life Puppet they had previously surrounded and killed!
"This technique, you are the mastermind behind those selling counterfeit pills!"
"We thought we had cleared you all out back then. We never expected you to dare to show yourselves again. We were just looking for the true mastermind behind you. Since you've come today, you will obediently stay here!"
The cultivator with the highest cultivation, at the seventh heaven of Dao Integration, spoke with a chilling voice.
The next moment, the spiritual energy around him began to vibrate wildly. Yellow spiritual energy surged from his body, directly engulfing the Second Life Puppet.
Concurrently, the attacks from the other three Dao Integration cultivators from the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion arrived simultaneously, surrounding the Second Life Puppet.
If these attacks truly landed on the Second Life Puppet, even in his current state, he would likely be severely injured.
But...
The Second Life Puppet had come to risk his life this time. Having activated the Extreme Burning Secret Technique, he had no intention of leaving alive.
As for being recognized, he cared even less.
He wanted precisely for these people from the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion to recognize him.
It was then seen that, facing the four attacks coming from all directions, the Second Life Puppet did not dodge.
His gaze flickered rapidly between the four Dao Integration cultivators.
One should pick on the weak.
The Second Life Puppet's gaze settled on the weakest among the four, the cultivator at the fourth heaven of Dao Integration.
He shifted his body slightly, completely disregarding the other attacks that were about to hit him, and lunged directly towards the Dao Integration fourth-heaven cultivator.
With the Extreme Burning Secret Technique activated, the Second Life Puppet's combat power was at least on par with the seventh heaven of Dao Integration, or even comparable to the eighth heaven.
This cultivator at the fourth heaven of Dao Integration was simply too weak before him.
The attacks of the two collided, and the offensive of the Dao Integration fourth-heaven cultivator was crushed with overwhelming force.
A dense killing intent pervaded the air.
The pupils of the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion cultivator at the fourth heaven of Dao Integration constricted, and terror surged into his eyes.
He wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
The other three Dao Integration cultivators from the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion saw this and seemed to understand what the Second Life Puppet intended to do.
"Stop!"
The cry rang out, but it was of no avail.
The Second Life Puppet's figure flickered, and he was already in front of the Dao Integration fourth-heaven cultivator. He raised his palm and struck towards his head.
In an instant.
"Boom!"
The head of this Cangyan Medicine Pavilion cultivator at the fourth heaven of Dao Integration exploded like a watermelon.
Scarlet blood sprayed out, leaving only a headless body to fall to the ground.
At the same time, the attacks from the other three Dao Integration cultivators from the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion arrived with a roar, exploding around the Second Life Puppet.
The Second Life Puppet's skin, which had little blood to begin with, was torn open, clearly indicating he had sustained heavy injuries.
But he was fearless.
Looking at the three Cangyan Medicine Pavilion cultivators, who were so close and their faces contorted with immense rage.
The Second Life Puppet not only showed no fear but also burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, my mission is complete!"
The Second Life Puppet's body began to swell violently.
"Boom!"
The next moment, an explosion that resounded throughout the entire Void Black Market erupted.
This terrifying self-detonation even engulfed the three Cangyan Medicine Pavilion cultivators who were not close to him.
Even under the effect of the terrifying aftershocks of the explosion, the Cangyan Medicine Pavilion, protected by its intricate defensive formation, trembled once more.
