"Anyway, the task is to hold them off until the Righteous Alliance resolves it..."

Lin Chen’s heart stirred slightly as he shifted from attack to defense.

While fighting, he also observed the situation on the battlefield.

Under the cover of the Martial Arts Puppets, the Demon Sect was clearly falling into decline.

The Array Peak Master also freed up his hand, and the two of them together dealt with Wu Xingkui.

Wu Xingkui gritted his teeth and summoned a few more Core Formation Puppets, but they were blocked by other members of the Righteous Alliance.

Under the suppression of numbers, the defeat of the Demon Sect was already determined.

However, at this moment, several auras quickly approached from afar.

Reinforcements of Golden Core Cultivators...

Unfortunately, they were from the Demon Sect!

"Ancestor Wu, we’re here to assist you!"

Several Golden Core Cultivators joined the battlefield, quickly alleviating the Demon Sect’s declining situation.

"Ancestor, I’ve already informed the Blood Pupil Ancestor... let’s hold on a little longer, the Ancestor will arrive soon!"

A cultivator from the Demon Sect shouted.

Upon hearing this, the Demon Sect’s morale surged immediately.

While the Righteous Alliance’s side visibly wilted.

Lin Chen also frowned deeply.

"That Blood Pupil Devil’s injury... should have mostly healed..."

"Damn it, if he really arrives, it could be disastrous!"

Thinking of this, Lin Chen no longer hesitated.

He quickly sent a telepathic message to the Array Peak Master, Chen Danxin, and others.

"Don’t drag it out any longer, finish it quickly!"

The Array Peak Master heard this, nodded, and gritted his teeth as he took out an Array Plate.

"Sect Leader Chen, please protect me..."

With that, the Array Peak Master began the Array Formation.

His hands flew rapidly, performing techniques with extreme mastery of the Array Plate.

As the Array Peak Master set up the array, the once clear sky gradually filled with dark clouds.

Subsequently, thunder appeared in the sky.

"Third Tier Array, Profound Thunder Array!"

The Array Peak Master wielded the Array Plate, capable of precisely controlling the positions where the Profound Thunder in the sky would strike.

Boom!

Boom boom!

Every strike of Profound Thunder accurately hit the Demon Cultivators.

Among the remaining Demon Cultivators, many were disciples of the Ghost-Exorcising Sect, and after being struck by a Profound Thunder, they were in great pain.

Meanwhile, the Martial Arts Puppets took the opportunity to deliver a finishing strike, with a single nanomissile taking out the injured Demon Cultivators.

"Two million two hundred thousand..." Lin Chen murmured to himself.

In the distance, the Array Peak Master seemed to have heard Lin Chen’s words, his mouth twitching slightly.

He might not have heard the term "kill-stealing," but he could easily guess the intentions of those Martial Arts Puppets.

But at this moment, he couldn’t care less about that.

As long as this battle is won, the Demon Sect can be defeated decisively, ensuring peace for at least a decade.

"Sect Leader Chen!"

The Array Peak Master shouted, then urged the Array Plate, causing a massive Profound Thunder to descend from the sky.

Boom!

The power of this Profound Thunder was evidently several times greater than normal, and after striking Wu the Old Monster, his movements slowed momentarily, and his True Essence was greatly depleted.

Seeing this, Chen Danxin no longer held back, wielding a Duster.

In an instant, golden light burst forth!

The Duster emitted golden beams, like strands of hair tightly wrapping around Wu the Old Monster.

Wu the Old Monster’s expression changed slightly, as he tried to break free using techniques.

But before he could break free, Chen Danxin unleashed a technique, sending a fierce wave of True Essence surging forward.

Boom!

Wu the Old Monster broke free from the Duster’s golden light but was directly hit by the True Essence head-on.

He was flung over ten zhang away, landing on the ground, spitting blood from his mouth.

"Cough cough..."

Wu the Old Monster struggled to stand up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"What a Righteous Alliance..." he looked at Chen Danxin with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

His peripheral vision caught sight of Puppet Luo Ming battling Lin Chen...

His eyes filled with disbelief:

"How is this possible... how can Xu Shi be this strong?"

"This is a puppet crafted from Luo Ming’s flesh body! How can anyone below Nascent Soul withstand it?"

"No... if this continues, we’ll really be defeated here!"

Wu the Old Monster looked around.

A total of twenty-five Golden Core Demon Cultivators came initially.

Including himself, only six remained.

While on the Righteous Alliance’s side, only four early Core Formation Cultivators had died...

The Demon Sect was on the verge of collapse!

"No, we absolutely can’t lose!"

Wu the Old Monster’s voice trembled slightly.

If he loses this time, even if he manages to save his life by a fluke, the Blood Pupil Devil will not spare him...

The outcome would not be much better than death.

"Can only make a desperate move..."

Wu the Old Monster took a deep breath, standing still while casting a technique.

The next second, he collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, a streak of black light rushed towards Puppet Luo Ming.

It was Wu Xingkui’s Primordial Spirit!

His Primordial Spirit was about to enter the puppet’s body...

Lin Chen was currently locked in a fierce battle with Puppet Luo Ming.

Suddenly, a black light drilled into Luo Ming’s body, startling Lin Chen.

Lin Chen leaped back several yards, keeping a certain distance from Puppet Luo Ming.

In the next second,

a resentful, unwilling voice sounded from the puppet’s mouth.

"Damn it, you all deserve to die!"

"I will kill you all..."

Having said that, the puppet possessed by Wu the Old Monster ignored Lin Chen and charged directly at the other members of the Righteous Alliance.

Boom!

The Red Spear smashed into a Righteous Alliance cultivator, shattering their Protective True Essence in an instant.

Then the force did not abate, directly crushing a Core Formation Cultivator to death.

In just a few rounds of assault, several Core Formation Cultivators from the Righteous Alliance had already perished.

The terrifying power of a Nascent Soul-level puppet was simply not something ordinary Core Formation could withstand.

"This old monster..."

Lin Chen’s face was somewhat grim.

This puppet possession move was something Lin Chen had never expected.

The methods of Puppet Cultivators were unfathomable.

Originally, the puppet only followed rigid commands, causing limited harm and being entangled with Lin Chen posed no threat.

But now, possessed by Wu the Old Monster, it only targeted Core Formation cultivators.

Wu the Old Monster clearly knew that in this operation, he lost nearly twenty Golden Core Cultivators.

Half of the Demon Sect’s elite had perished...

If he couldn’t seriously harm the Righteous Alliance, the Blood Pupil Ancestor wouldn’t spare him, so he had to resort to this desperate measure.

"Taoist Friend Xu!"

In the distance, the Array Peak Master shouted anxiously.

He and Chen Danxin wanted to entangle this Wu the Old Monster.

But just being struck by the Red Spear, their True Essence began to collapse, unable to withstand, and they could only retreat in a hurry.

"Brother Xu!"

At this time, Wu the Old Monster had set his sights on Li Zhenqian.

With a simple thrust, he knocked the Treasure Artifact Flying Sword from Li Zhenqian’s hand, this sword was a gift from Lin Chen back then.

Seeing Li Zhenqian’s life hanging by a thread, Lin Chen decided not to hold back anymore.

"Bullet Time..."

Lin Chen’s heart stirred slightly, and in an instant, he entered a subtle state.

Everything around him appeared to slow down in Lin Chen’s eyes.

At the same time, Lin Chen’s strength rapidly depleted.

"We must fight quickly and decisively..."

With tightly knit brows, Lin Chen held the Black Blade and charged at the puppet once more.

Thud!

The Red Spear pounded on Lin Chen’s Demon-slaying Blade, his knees sinking into the ground.

"What are you standing there for, run already?"

Lin Chen cursed, and Li Zhenqian hurriedly fled, sparing his life.

In the distance, seeing this, the Array Peak Master slightly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Chen leaped out from the ground, taking a deep breath and said:

"Your opponent is me!"

"Dare to move... I’ll slaughter you!"

With that, Lin Chen fiercely swung the Black Blade, slashing towards the puppet’s wrist.

Boom!

"Twelve times, Vibrating Blade!"

Lin Chen unleashed the strongest attack he had learned in three years.

The power of this strike was close to fifty thousand tons!

After being struck on the wrist by Lin Chen’s blade, the puppet, unexpectedly unsteady, dropped the long spear in its hand directly to the ground.

"Hmm? After being possessed... this old monster can feel pain!"

Lin Chen quickly judged, and then revealed a grim smile.

An unyielding, untiring, pain-immune puppet, with immense strength and robust defense, was naturally a tough challenge.

However, after feeling pain, the puppet became weaker instead...

"Really made a bad move!"

Lin Chen snorted coldly, then the Demon-slaying Blade slashed again at the puppet’s other wrist.

Wu the Old Monster experienced pain again, both Red Spears slipping from his hands.

"This old monster’s spear skills are lousy too..."

"After possessing the puppet, it’s fine to bully weaklings... but it became weaker against me!"

Lin Chen engaged in battle with Wu the Old Monster once again.

In merely a few dozen rounds, he slashed and forced Wu the Old Monster to flee in panic.

"Monster... what monster!"

"No, I have to return to the body..."
