90: Defeat them one by one, a bizarre method of killing.

Everyone was very confused; they really wanted to ask what this had to do with the mission, and what kind of Spell Su Chen was using that was so bizarre.

Perhaps sensing their confusion, Su Linglong hurriedly suppressed her fear: "About five months ago, I took a mission to assassinate an Outer Sect Elder of the Dao Yun Sect. This person used Spells that could control Puppets. If I hadn't sacrificed eight Foundation Establishment Servants to buy a chance to escape, I'm afraid I would have fallen there."

Hearing Su Linglong's words, everyone was shocked. Who would have thought Su Chen had obtained such an Opportunity?

"Is there a way to break it?" Lü Dong asked.

"Unless we can find Su Chen, our only option is to kill Yu Kejiao," Su Linglong replied through gritted teeth.

Hearing only these two methods, Ye Qingfeng and Lu Xing glanced at each other.

They knew clearly that if they didn't deal with Su Chen, he would benefit from their struggle. If one of them allied with Su Chen, the situation would be different.

Obviously, an alliance was impossible; after all, they all wanted to kill Su Chen, and Su Chen wasn't a fool—he wouldn't cooperate with them. Thus, they could only choose to kill Su Chen first before the final battle.

"It seems we are thinking the same thing," Lu Xing said.

Ye Qingfeng nodded: "In that case, let them pin down this Puppet. Once the two of us deal with Su Chen, we'll decide what to do next."

"Fine!" Lu Xing agreed, his tone urgent, "You all are responsible for pinning down the Puppet. Lord Ye and I will go find Su Chen's hiding place."

Hearing Lu Xing's words, no one objected. They knew that with the strength Su Chen was currently displaying, they were no match for him.

Jiang Yan heard their plan, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. He wanted them to split up so he could defeat them one by one.

If he had to deal with so many people at once, to be honest, he really would be spread too thin. But if he only had to deal with Ye Qingfeng and Lu Xing, he was confident he could stall them for a while.

Once the Puppet eliminated Su Linglong and the others, it would be time for his counterattack!

"Hehe..."

Jiang Yan's fingertips moved slightly, and the green Soul Bead vibrated faintly.

Yu Kejiao's Puppet body suddenly paused, and a bizarre curve curled at the corners of her mouth.

"Looking for me?"

She twirled the jade flute, and sound waves suddenly exploded—but they weren't aimed at the group; instead, they shot straight into the sky!

"Boom!"

The sound waves burst in mid-air, turning into a sky full of blood mist.

In the mist, Jiang Yan's figure faintly appeared. He had actually intentionally exposed his location!

"There!" Lu Xing's eyes turned sharp. His figure was like lightning as he sped toward the direction indicated by the blood mist.

Ye Qingfeng frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong, but he was already committed. He shook his long sword and followed closely.

"Two fools!"

Jiang Yan sneered, his finger hooking lightly.

Yu Kejiao's Puppet body suddenly lunged. The jade flute turned into a sharp blade, stabbing straight toward the nearest person, Su Linglong!

"Puchi!"

Su Linglong dodged in haste but still had her arm slashed by the flute blade, blood instantly staining her sleeve.

Her eyes were filled with terror: "Su Chen, I know I was wrong. As long as you don't kill me, I can give you everything."

The Puppet didn't answer, only smiling, the golden light in its eyes becoming increasingly piercing.

Meanwhile, deep in the dense forest.

Jiang Yan's true body had already moved quietly. He stood atop an ancient tree, looking down at the scattered battlefield below, and whispered:

"Now... it's time to pull in the net!"

His fingertips twitched slightly, controlling the Soul Bead to emit a cold luster.

"Su Chen, you can't escape!" Lu Xing stood in mid-air, quickly slashing a sword light toward Su Chen.

Ye Qingfeng, flying behind, also slashed a sword strike at Su Chen. Although he was a bit confused about what Su Chen was trying to do, killing Su Chen first was definitely right.

Jiang Yan's figure moved like a ghost through the sword lights; Lu Xing and Ye Qingfeng's attacks all missed.

With a flick of his fingers, the distant Yu Kejiao Puppet suddenly erupted. The jade flute swept across, and the sound waves were like knives!

"Puchi!"

Su Linglong was caught off guard; the sound blade slashed across her neck, and blood sprayed out!

Her eyes widened. She had already begged for mercy; why wouldn't Su Chen let her go?

Before she could beg again, the qi-blood in Yu Kejiao's body instantly erupted, and the jade flute in her hand, like a sharp sword, slashed directly at her head.

"Su Linglong!" Lü Dong roared, his Blood Banner rolling wildly, immediately blocking the fatal strike of the jade flute.

But the Puppet Yu Kejiao gave a bizarre smile, her figure suddenly flickering, and she actually appeared directly behind Jiang Qiong!

" careful!"

Before Lü Dong's voice could fade, a "crack" was heard.

Jiang Qiong's spine was heavily broken by the jade flute, and he slumped down like a rag doll.

Jiang Qiong was terrified. One must know he was at the tenth level of Foundation Establishment, yet he couldn't see Yu Kejiao's speed.

"Su Chen, you bastard!" Lü Dong's eyes were nearly splitting. The Blood Banner turned into a sky full of Vengeful Souls pouncing on the Puppet, but Yu Kejiao retreated lightly while blowing the jade flute.

"Zheng!"

The piercing sound waves exploded, and Lü Dong's Vengeful Souls were actually forcibly shaken apart!

His chest felt like it had been hit by a heavy blow; he took several steps back, blood leaking from the corner of his mouth.

"How is this possible!"

Lü Dong couldn't believe it because all of this was too bizarre.

While the three were in terror, Yu Kejiao's voice rang in Su Linglong's ear.

"No one can save you this time!"

Yu Kejiao's voice was like ice, making Su Linglong's hair stand on end. She didn't want to die; even if she had to be a Servant, she was willing.

But her hope was completely shattered the moment the jade flute pierced her throat.

Su Linglong died with great resentment. She deeply regretted it—regretted why she had to look for trouble with Su Chen.

Jiang Yan, who was dodging Ye Qingfeng and Lu Xing's attacks, smiled after seeing the pop-up notification.

'This Su Linglong really is a treasure; she actually dropped a Sword Dao Growth bonus, which managed to level up my Sword Dao Concept.'

Ye Qingfeng and Lu Xing were very surprised; they completely couldn't understand what Su Chen's smile meant.

"This kid's wings have grown strong. There's no need for us to hold back anymore; let's finish him off as quickly as possible!" Lu Xing shouted.

Ye Qingfeng nodded, his long sword slashing continuously, forcing Jiang Yan toward a specific path.

Jiang Yan had no intention of fighting the two of them. He pushed his Blood Shadow Ghost Evasion to the limit, while the movements of his fingertips quickened.

At the same time, Yu Kejiao's figure instantly vanished and then appeared behind Lü Dong.

"Now, it's your turn."

Yu Kejiao's voice rang in his ear like ice.

Lü Dong turned his head in horror, only to see Yu Kejiao standing behind him at some point, holding the blood-stained jade flute. Bizarre black runes were flickering on the flute.

"Puchi!"

The jade flute pierced into Lü Dong's back without resistance. The runes instantly spread, gradually sealing his Soul!

"Gah..."

Lü Dong's eyes widened, his pupils shrinking rapidly. He could feel his Divine Soul contracting in one direction, and he couldn't even control his own body.

Chen Jian and the others were completely stunned. They had guessed that this year's Blood Son Battle would be brutal, but they never expected it to be like this.

Before the resources had even been distributed, two Blood Sons had already died.

But before they could wake up from that nightmare, another nightmare occurred.

Yu Kejiao's figure vanished, and in its place was Su Chen's figure!

"This is..."

Before Chen Jian could finish speaking, Jiang Yan made a shushing gesture toward him.

"Now, it's your turn!"

Jiang Yan's voice rang in Jiang Qiong's ear like ice.

Jiang Qiong's spine had been shattered, and he could only twist his feet in pain, only to see Jiang Yan standing behind him at some point, holding a pitch-black Short Blade with bizarre blood-red runes wrapped around it.

"Puchi!"

The Short Blade pierced through Jiang Qiong's Inner Armor without any resistance, and then his heart was pierced.
