Chapter 232: Heavy Losses

A corpse puppet had no consciousness of its own and was completely controlled by its master.

The attack power of a corpse puppet was extremely fierce; its reflexive attacks were comparable to those of an ordinary fourth-grade practitioner in the Lingyuan Realm. With Yun Yi’s current cultivation level, facing a fourth-grade practitioner in the Lingyuan Realm, even the weakest would be a challenge.

But the corpse puppet before him was different. It was also an evil entity, akin to a vengeful spirit. The Red Lotus Karma Fire and the mystical techniques of the Buddha were much more effective against it than against Li Wushuang, almost serving as a powerful suppression.

Li Wushuang was still human, having merely practiced evil arts, but the corpse puppet was truly an evil being, with the Buddha being their greatest nemesis.

However, Yun Yi wanted to test his physical strength, so when faced with the attack of the corpse puppet, he did not use the Buddha Light or Red Lotus Karma Fire to suppress it, but instead used Dark Energy.

He suddenly threw a punch, filled with endless Dark Energy, and collided fiercely with the sharp claws of the corpse puppet.

Bang!

The place where they collided erupted with a dull sound, sending out bright sparks. This was a true clash of power. With the peak level of the innate realm, daring to face the fourth-grade corpse puppet from the Lingyuan Realm head-on, it seemed that only he, Yun Yi, could do that in the entire Lingtian Continent.

“Overestimating oneself.”

Behind him, Li Wushuang smirked coldly. He knew very well just how powerful his corpse puppet was. No matter how strong Yun Yi was, confronting the corpse puppet like this was simply impossible for him to win.

Indeed, in the contest of pure strength, Yun Yi was no match for the corpse puppet. He was knocked back several dozen feet, his arm was numb, and his fist was tainted by the corpse energy, making a hissing sound.

“Not good, Little Yun has been infected by the corpse energy. It’s not a joke to have corpse energy enter the body.”

Duan Tianye said with worry.

“Senior Brother Duan, you really don’t need to worry. For ordinary people, the energy of the dead entering the body is indeed a frightening thing, but for Senior Brother Yun, it is nothing at all. He is a Fire Spirit Body, and his flames are much more terrifying than my Samadhi True Fire. This little bit of dead energy is not enough to threaten him. Senior Brother Yun’s flames will completely destroy it.”

Nie Qing spoke up. As a fellow Fire Spirit Body, he understood how fearsome Yun Yi was. He had personally fought against Yun Yi before and knew just how terrifying Yun Yi’s flames were.

“That is true, but this corpse puppet is really terrifying. This is one of the most frightening techniques of the Corpse Yin Sect. The Corpse Yin Sect has become one of the top ten powers in the Eastern Wilderness and has established branches in many regions, which shows how strong they are. Normally, such an evil sect should not be allowed to exist by other forces. The reason other forces do not dare to act against the Corpse Yin Sect is that they do not know just how strong its foundations truly are. This sect is full of mystery.”

Duan Tianye said that Xuanzhou State is next to Xianzhou State, so he knows a lot about the powers in Xianzhou State. Additionally, there is a Peace Villa acting as a hub, so the major forces of Xuanzhou State and Xianzhou State often have connections and entanglements.

In the sky, Li Wushuang had a cold smile on his face, clearly very satisfied with the performance of the corpse puppet.

“Yun Yi, the fighting power of my corpse puppet is almost equal to mine. Unless you can use that Buddhist Mana Seal again, today you will still face certain death.”

Li Wushuang said this with great confidence in his corpse puppet. Given Yun Yi’s strength, to defeat the corpse puppet, he would have to use the Immovable Lion King Seal again. However, such a powerful Battle Technique consumes too much spiritual power, even more than his Earth Demon Subduing Blade Style’s third strike. He did not believe that, even being as extraordinary as Yun Yi, he could use the Immovable Lion King Seal a second time.

Therefore, Li Wushuang felt that he still had a great chance.

“Since you wish for it so much, I will grant your wish.”

Yun Yi said, and a rich golden light surrounded him again. With that punch, he had already tested the strength of the corpse puppet. Just as Li Wushuang said, unless he continued to use the Immovable Lion King Seal, he could not match the corpse puppet at all.

Since that was the case, Yun Yi would not waste any more time. He wanted Li Wushuang to understand that the power of the Innate Dao Body was beyond what Li Wushuang could imagine. Even the strong move, Immovable Lion King Seal, could still be used by Yun Yi.

Roar…

The lion’s roar sounded again, and the Immovable Lion King Seal was once more unleashed by Yun Yi.

“What?”

Seeing this, Li Wushuang gasped in shock. His pupils widened as if he saw a ghost. He truly could not understand how a spiritual power from the innate realm could be so abundant, allowing even such a powerful move like the Immovable Lion King Seal to be used repeatedly. Was this still a human?

“Corpse puppet, come back.”

After experiencing the terror of the Immovable Lion King Seal firsthand, Li Wushuang did not dare to hesitate any longer. He immediately summoned the corpse puppet back and prepared to flee.

The corpse puppet was something he had painstakingly crafted. Every disciple of the Corpse Yin Sect had a corpse puppet closely related to their life force. If the corpse puppet was destroyed, Li Wushuang would suffer great harm himself.

More importantly, a fourth-grade corpse puppet from the Lingyuan Realm was a huge secret weapon for Li Wushuang. If it were destroyed, it would break Li Wushuang’s heart.

“It’s too late to recall it now.”

Yun Yi would not give Li Wushuang a chance to recall the corpse puppet. Once he took action, he would not give the opponent any chance and must use the most powerful methods to destroy it completely and eliminate future troubles.

Boom…

In the end, the Immovable Lion King Seal struck hard against the corpse puppet when it was not recalled. The corpse puppet let out a chilling roar, and its body was shattered on the spot, completely destroyed.

Normally, the corpse puppet was not that weak. A corpse puppet forged through countless trials had an incredibly tough body. However, it faced Yun Yi and the supreme power of the Immovable Lion King Seal. This force, stemming from the very depths of origin, was something the corpse puppet could not withstand, resulting in its immediate destruction.

Puff…

At the moment the corpse puppet was destroyed, Li Wushuang immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. This time, the damage to him was far greater than when he was hit by the Immovable Lion King Seal before.

This was a backlash; the destruction of the corpse puppet directly harmed Li Wushuang’s source energy.

“Yun Yi, you have destroyed my corpse puppet. I, Li Wushuang, will be your enemy forever. I will definitely take revenge one day.”

Li Wushuang said through clenched teeth.

“Is that so? Unfortunately, you probably won’t have that day.”

Yun Yi, filled with power, struck instantly with the Dark Dragon Hand, reaching out to grab Li Wushuang. He would not give Li Wushuang any chance.

Li Wushuang produced a black spiritual talisman in his hand. The spiritual talisman exploded, turning into a cloud of black smoke. The Dark Dragon Hand destroyed the smoke, but Li Wushuang was already gone.

In the distance, a black figure appeared and quickly disappeared.

“Li Wushuang, where are you running?”

Yun Yi’s Freedom Wings fluttered behind him, becoming a shadow that chased after him.
