The Seventh Elder was shocked on the spot!
The golden light defense that no one could break before was just like that, shattered?
With just a mere poke from that bird claw, it was done?
The Seventh Elder's worldview collapsed again...
"Stop gawking, next one!" Ye Fan urged, "Send a telepathic message to the others, they can attack now!"
Actually, Ye Fan also wished he could preserve these puppets intact.
After all, with these materials, he could make more defensive items.
At the very least, if he could restart them later, it would be equivalent to having a batch of bodyguards at the Soul Transformation stage.
However, the current situation simply didn't allow for that.
Relatively speaking, his own life was more important...
Ultimately, it was due to insufficient materials.
He could have completely crafted a perfect inscription rod.
Then, with just a gentle poke, these puppets would immediately shut down on the spot!
Alas, there was no "if"...
"Oh, oh..." The Seventh Elder, like a child who had made a mistake, quickly complied.
"Attack the one that lost its golden light!" Upon receiving the Seventh Elder's telepathic message, True Master Yun Hua immediately gave the order.
"Swish swish swish—!"
A large number of spells surged out, engulfing the bird-man!
The once-invincible bird-man instantly became a crispy chicken!
Not even a speck remained!
Witnessing the fruits of their labor, the attacking cultivators were dumbfounded!
This was...
It was over...?
The void they had been helpless against before, was resolved just like that...?
At that moment, their brains collectively shut down...
With the help of Ye Fan's little blue pills, the Seventh Elder finally stopped getting injured.
She transformed into a streak of light with Ye Fan, weaving through the puppet crowd.
Meanwhile, True Master Yun Hua stared intently ahead.
As soon as a puppet's golden light disappeared, they would immediately unleash a barrage of firepower!
And so.
The battle was no longer in doubt.
In just two to three minutes, all the puppets were dealt with!
Upon landing, Ye Fan twisted his neck with a pained expression.
He didn't know if the Seventh Elder was too nervous or too excited earlier, but her grip was far too strong.
His neck had almost snapped...
Seeing the puppet fragments on the ground, Ye Fan felt a pang of heartache again...
What a waste...
True Master Yun Hua exchanged a look with the Sect Master of the Endless Sect, offering a helpless wry smile.
Both sides' elite disciples were almost wiped out, and even several elders were lost...
Such heavy losses right from the start...
They couldn't even imagine what would happen next...
Even more tragic, the countless cultivation techniques in the entire hall were reduced to ashes by the residual shockwaves of the battle...
In the end, all their efforts were in vain...
However, thinking about it now was useless. They needed to rest first.
As for whether to continue or leave, that could be decided later...
The two groups began to recuperate on the spot, and the hall fell into temporary silence.
Ye Fan took out some pills and distributed them to the heavily injured members of Yun Hua Sect.
True Master Yun Hua's injuries were not serious; a single Life Returning Pill resolved them.
Feeling his true qi rapidly recovering within his body, True Master Yun Hua exclaimed internally, "Monstrous!"
What the hell!
What kind of monstrous speed is this?!
If they had more of these pills, he could have annihilated those guys earlier!
If Ye Fan knew what he was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes at him.
What are you dreaming about?
This one was randomly refined by me with scraps back then; there were only two or three of them in total.
While everyone was recuperating, Ye Fan rummaged around the hall.
The puppets were dealt with, but the barriers at the entrance and on the walls were still there.
To leave, they had to find the source.
Just as Ye Fan was about to act, his expression suddenly changed!
No!
It wasn't over yet!
He had roughly seen the assassin who had slaughtered the elders and disciples of the Endless Sect, the one whose shadow couldn't be seen.
But that thing had seemed to disappear afterward and hadn't reappeared to this day!
The most terrifying aspect of an assassin is when they are hidden in the dark!
And an assassin who can instantly kill at the Soul Transformation stage while hidden in the dark is a danger layered upon danger!
Moreover, puppet assassins don't emit any true qi fluctuations when they attack, which further intensifies the danger.
By the time they sensed the slightest movement, it would clearly be too late!
The elder from the Endless Sect earlier was a prime example!
If it were a direct, open duel, he might not have been weaker than that puppet assassin.
But once he lost the initiative, it meant certain death!
Thinking of this, Ye Fan quickly conveyed his thoughts to True Master Yun Hua.
True Master Yun Hua was startled upon hearing this and was about to alert everyone.
However, before he could speak, he faintly heard a gust of wind.
Damn!
True Master Yun Hua rushed towards the direction he sensed.
Ultimately...
He was still a step too late...
A disciple of Yun Hua Sect was instantly decapitated!
Their eyes were filled with confusion, clearly not having reacted to what happened...
True Master Yun Hua and the Sect Master of the Endless Sect quickly shielded the remaining disciples, their gazes warily scanning their surroundings.
Then, their true qi surged, looking like they were about to unleash an area-of-effect attack.
It could only be said that True Master Yun Hua had made a rookie mistake.
Perhaps Ye Fan's earlier performance made him subconsciously overlook Ye Fan's inherently weak strength.
Or perhaps he thought that since Ye Fan had a way to deal with other puppets, he would definitely have a way to deal with this assassin puppet.
Or perhaps with the Seventh Elder by his side, he thought her speed could handle anything.
Therefore, when he gathered the disciples earlier, he had forgotten about Ye Fan...
"Swish!"
The sound of wind appeared again!
And the direction was towards Ye Fan!
Hearing the wind, the Seventh Elder's heart immediately sank halfway!
Her speed was indeed very fast, but it was still no match for this elusive assassin!
Sensing the chilling aura at her neck, she knew she was probably going to perish here...
Despair instantly filled her heart...
Suddenly!
A black shadow flashed!
The wind. Big Wind Novels.
Stopped!
The hidden monster finally revealed its true form!
It was a creature half-human, half-mantis.
Its deadly, cold hand-blade was almost touching Ye Fan's neck!
No, not almost!
The part of Ye Fan's neck that touched the mantis's hand-blade had already seeped out a trickle of blood!
However, this hand-blade could no longer advance an inch!
What stopped it was Ye Fan's right hand!
The bird claw, covered in inscriptions, was currently pressed against the gem on the monster's chest.
The collapse of the inscription system caused the mantis monster's body to momentarily freeze.
However, this time would not last long...
The Seventh Elder had clearly not recovered from this sudden event, missing the best opportunity to strike.
As its golden light disappeared, the mantis monster moved again!
Its hand-blade flickered, slashing towards Ye Fan once more!
If this strike landed, Ye Fan and the Seventh Elder would both be gone!
Fortunately, someone reacted.
"Swish—!"
"Bang!"
True Master Yun Hua's spell successfully sent the mantis monster flying.
Before it could land, the follow-up attack arrived!
And without the protection of the golden light, the terrifying assassin instantly became a crispy chicken.
It was blown to pieces!
The Seventh Elder finally came to her senses, a look of embarrassment on her face...
Her protection had been utterly negligent, almost causing catastrophic mistakes one after another...
She originally wanted to say something to Ye Fan, to express her apology.
But upon seeing Ye Fan's expression, she was stunned again...
Ye Fan was still standing there in the same posture, his expression seemingly bewildered...
And the angle of his outstretched right hand seemed rather strange...
In fact, Ye Fan was indeed bewildered at this moment...
He was now just a mortal weakling, naturally unable to track the mantis monster's movements.
Let alone track it, he hadn't even sensed it making a move!
Even though his head had almost been severed, he had only heard a gust of wind.
He himself didn't even know how this hand had shot out...
Even this reaching-out action happened before the sound of the wind!
The entire process occurred completely without conscious thought, as if it were a spontaneous reaction of his body!
What did this mean?
Did his body have an independent will, wanting to split from his brain?
It seemed his body had indeed undergone some changes he was unaware of...
