Chapter 2232: Chapter 738: The Might of a Tier-4 Puppet!_3
Shen Yiren’s hair was disheveled, her face pale. With the help of the arm holding her slender waist and the green Magic Power, she barely stabilized her posture, catching a faint, pleasant medicinal fragrance.
Immediately following, a warm green aura, like the morning sun, surged from the arm’s embrace into her body, nurturing her injured and weary physique.
Such intimate contact, the comfortable and steady arms, and the nurturing of mana like a mother’s womb, made her feel a bit shy. She had grown more trusting and reliant on Lu Changsheng.
“Third Palace Master, are you alright?”
Lu Changsheng immediately looked at Shen Yiren with full concern, catching a whiff of her elegant fragrance.
“Daoist Xuanmu, the support from Penglai Island seems to have been entangled by other attacks; we must hurry and retreat!”
From afar, the Nascent Soul battle continued without support from Penglai Island or the Great Cultivation of the Goddess Palace. Shen Yiren realized that others were tied up and couldn’t come quickly.
In such circumstances, continuing to fight was meaningless and not even an option against the opponent.
“Third Palace Master, could you hold on a little longer? As soon as the Great Palace Master arrives, the crisis will naturally be resolved?”
Lu Changsheng didn’t mind retreating, but the current situation seemed appropriate for him to demonstrate his capabilities.
“Sister is cultivating a secret Divine Ability technique. Even if notified, she needs time to come over, and the adversary has come with preparation since they have a Nascent Soul to assault us!”
Shen Yiren looked at Lu Changsheng, who was steadfastly enduring and nurturing her physical body, and felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
As an Honorary Elder of the Goddess Palace, the latter’s willingness to exert such effort made her feel a greater fondness for him.
However, she knew why he was so diligent and didn’t want him to take risks.
“Alright.”
Upon hearing Shen Yiren speak like that, Lu Changsheng didn’t insist, turning his offensive into defense, preparing to retreat with Shen Yiren.
“Hmph, you want to leave!?”
The Desert Sea Crocodile God saw this and shouted, with the roaring Qi and Blood Magical Power surging, as his head resembling a crocodile and dragon charged toward the two.
Meanwhile, the ghostly shadow from before suddenly appeared beside three Nascent Soul Cultivators not far off. A diamond-shaped artifact swiftly pierced through one’s chest, causing blood to splatter!
“Sister Huang!”
The two Nascent Soul Cultivators beside her were filled with rage and promptly unleashed Divine Skills, activated Talismans to protect Sister Huang. Yet, her fair face instantly turned black, indicating the attack was venomous.
“Nephew Huang!”
Seeing this, Shen Yiren cried out in grief, activating a Third Rank Top-Level Talisman, intending to save her.
But the Desert Sea Crocodile God and the Ghost Ship True Man wanted precisely this, to disturb her Mental Spirit and find a flaw, continuing their attack on Shen Yiren.
“Third Palace Master, you go heal Daoist Huang, leave them to me.”
Lu Changsheng noticed Sister Huang’s critical injuries; if not treated in time, she would die within moments.
If Shen Yiren later found out he had the ability but didn’t choose to act, letting Sister Huang die, she would surely harbor resentment. So, he prepared to take action.
Additionally, he saw this as an opportunity to showcase his exceptional skills, perhaps as the divinatory symbols suggested, attracting the opposite sex and sparking romance!
“Daoist Xuanmu, you?”
Shen Yiren was shocked and surprised upon hearing him.
According to prior information, she knew Lu Changsheng also had a Third Rank Peng Bird Spirit Pet.
But even with an additional Third Rank Peng Bird, how could they contend with the two before them?
However, in the next instant.
“Swish!”
An enormous Puppet, exuding a cold metallic sheen and resembling a steel war machine, appeared.
Zhuyan, possessed of a Fourth Rank Puppet Body, though not on par with a Nascent Soul True Lord, was more than enough to handle a Nascent Soul Cultivator!
“Boom!”
The Puppet Battle Array was not utilized.
With just a sudden wave of an arm, the Gang Wind Force enveloped in Ghost Energy broke through layers of assaults, striking the Desert Sea Crocodile God’s Magic Barrier and dimming it, causing cracks and disrupting his Mana.
“This is… a Fourth Rank Puppet!”
The scene left all the cultivators present in astonishment, as if seeing a ghost!
The gulf between Third-tier Skills and Fourth-tier Skills seems like just a hurdle but is as wide as the sky!
It requires not only immense talent but also significant financial resources for research and practice!
Yet Fourth Rank Spiritual Materials are exceedingly rare and precious!
Even a Nascent Soul True Lord might not have that many resources to invest.
This leads to any Fourth Rank Elixirs, Talismans, or Puppets being incredibly valuable.
Even Shen Yiren’s Third Rank Top Level Puppet was crafted by someone Shen Jianjia had commissioned.
For Lu Changsheng, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, to possess a Fourth Rank Puppet was simply astounding.
“Please be at ease, Third Palace Master.”
Lu Changsheng released Shen Yiren’s soft and resilient waist, speaking warmly, then tossed out a stack of Talismans, performing gesture incantations to arrange them.
His identity was that of Xuanmu Zhenren, cultivating the Nourishing Life Technique, not adept at Combat, but proficient in Talisman Formations as a Talisman Master, seemed perfectly normal.
So, Lu Changsheng aimed to elevate his identity further through the Talisman Formation and the Fourth Rank Puppet, thus qualifying to compete with many rivals for Shen Yiren.
Ideally, the Goddess Palace would see his potential, matchmake him with Shen Yiren, and then aid in obtaining the Infant Transformation Elixir.
“Quickly end this!”
Seeing the situation, the Ghost Ship True Man hurriedly steered the Ghost Ship to charge at Lu Changsheng, while the nearby shadow concealed itself in the void, advancing against Lu Changsheng.
“Hehe.”
Lu Changsheng’s expression remained calm and serene, directing the Talisman Formation to revolve around him like a Talisman Wall interweaving seamlessly while signaling Zhuyan to swiftly deal with the Desert Sea Crocodile God.
“Whoosh!!!”
Though not perfect, with some roughness, Zhuyan’s Fourth Rank Puppet Body, under Lu Changsheng’s aid, amalgamated with numerous Magical Treasures, boasted remarkably powerful functions.
As she continued her assault on the Desert Sea Crocodile God, from beneath her left arm, a Breaking Magic Arrow suddenly shot out, shattering the opponent’s Magic Barrier entirely.
Simultaneously, a Talisman arranged around Lu Changsheng flew swiftly towards the Desert Sea Crocodile God.
The Third Rank Soul Shaking Talisman!
It could cause the Soul Consciousness to become inert and rigid.
Even if the Desert Sea Crocodile God did not succumb, he momentarily faltered.
In that instant, Zhuyan unleashed an attack far exceeding that of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, causing the Desert Sea Crocodile God to spew blood, his body sent flying across the sky.
“Whoosh!”
Yet, in the next moment, from Zhuyan’s left arm, a crossbow arrow shot out, piercing through the towering and robust body of the Desert Sea Crocodile God, binding him tightly.
“Retreat!”
The Ghost Ship True Man and the shadow, observing this, understood they were no match for such a Fourth Rank Puppet.
Besides, their mission was merely to delay, capturing crucial figures if possible.
But in the current situation, capturing anyone was out of the question, and further delay would mean their own downfall here!
