107: Go for it!!!

Yao Delong's eyes erupted with terrifying fury and the desperate resolve to take his enemy down with him!

Since playing the coward wouldn't let him escape, he would fight for his life!

"You want to use me as a Cauldron? In your dreams! panyan gold puppet—stop that old ghost for me!"

Yao Delong roared in his heart, his Divine Thought driving the command with wild intensity!

Buzz!

A streak of crimson-gold light instantly shot out from his storage ring, expanding as it met the wind!

It was none other than the panyan gold puppet that had been meticulously repaired and modified by Elder Liu Duan of Spirit Forging Peak!

Yao Delong spared no expense, slapping a pile of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones into the Puppet's chest core as if they cost nothing!

Boom!

The panyan gold puppet erupted with blinding crimson-gold light, its massive body like a cannonball,

carrying a piercing howl that tore through the air as it crashed toward Liu Sha, who was just about to strike!

Its speed was so fast and its power so fierce that it directly reached the Nascent Soul realm!

"Hm? A Puppet?"

A flash of realization crossed Liu Sha's murky old eyes, his raspy voice carrying a hint of mockery:

"Jiejiejie... that trash Blood Fiend Demon mentioned you had a troublesome Puppet. Unfortunately, before this old man, it is nothing but scrap metal!"

He flipped his withered palm, and that unremarkable, ancient black longsword appeared once more,

pointing out seemingly at random toward the charging panyan gold puppet!

Devilish Qi flickered at the sword's tip, carrying a sharpness that could tear through space!

Clang—!

A deafening sound of metal clashing rang through the mountain hollow!

The black longsword pointed precisely at the massive fist the panyan gold puppet swung forward!

The expected scene of the Puppet's arm being easily pierced or even shattered did not occur!

The mockery on Liu Sha's face instantly froze, replaced by a hint of shock and suspicion!

"What?!"

On the panyan gold puppet's crimson-gold fist, where the sword tip had struck, there was only a shallow white mark!

What shocked Liu Sha even more was the pure Devilish Qi attached to his sword, which was enough to corrode the spirituality of any Magic Treasure.

The moment it touched the Puppet's fist, it actually seemed to have met its nemesis, letting out a "chi-chi" sizzling sound.

It was held back by a force of utmost Yang and strength, unable to penetrate even a fraction of an inch!

"Pure Yang Essence Gold and Crimson Flame Essence Gold?! And it's mixed with other Spiritual Materials that counter Devilish Qi?!"

Liu Sha gasped in a low voice, a look of gravity appearing in his murky old eyes for the first time.

He instantly understood the terrifying aspect of this Puppet—it wasn't just high defense; it had been specifically modified to target demonic Cultivators!

Its core torso and key parts must have been smelted with a large amount of Materials like Pure Yang Essence Gold that counter Devilish Qi,

forming a natural "Devilish Qi Insulation Armor"!

"What a cunning brat!" Liu Sha cursed inwardly.

With his Late Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, his power was naturally far beyond the panyan gold puppet, and the demonic sword in his hand was incomparably sharp.

But at this moment, despite his great strength, he could not infiltrate the Puppet's core with Devilish Qi to destroy it.

He could only rely on pure physical attacks and the sharpness of his blade to clash with this iron block whose defense was comparable to the Mid Nascent Soul Stage!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The black sword in Liu Sha's hand turned into streaks of afterimages, slashing at the panyan gold puppet like a torrential rain.

Sparks flew, and the ear-piercing sound of friction was constant.

Every strike left a deep sword mark on the Puppet's sturdy crimson-gold shell, even chipping off several fragments.

But the panyan gold puppet was fearless, completely ignoring the damage, and relied on its modified resistance to Devilish Qi to stubbornly entangle Liu Sha.

Massive fists, iron elbows, and knee strikes, carrying ten thousand catties of force, smashed frantically toward Liu Sha's vital points.

It forced him to divide his attention to block and dodge, and for a time, he was actually kept busy and unable to escape by this "scrap metal"!

"Damn it! This Puppet was specially modified; it contains Pure Yang Essence Gold specifically to counter Devilish Qi!

Young Miss! Quickly take down that brat! He's at the end of his rope!"

While fending off the Puppet's storm-like attacks, Liu Sha shouted anxiously toward Xin Yuelan.

He knew well that completely destroying this modified Puppet would take time,

and being in Righteous Path territory, the longer it dragged on, the more variables would arise!

Seeing this, Yao Delong was overjoyed:

"It worked! Elder Liu! I can't thank you enough! If I escape this, I will surely repay you!"

He was puzzled but deduced that this must have been a modification Elder Liu Duan of Spirit Forging Peak made while repairing it, specifically targeting the weaknesses of demonic Cultivators!

During the last fight against the Blood Fiend Demon, the Puppet didn't have this trait and was even dented by the rampaging demon.

Xin Yuelan no longer hesitated, flipping her jade hand as a longsword appeared, completely blood-red and emitting a thick, bloody, and evil aura.

"Brat, to be able to force this Young Miss to strike personally, you have some skill!

Surrender obediently, and you might suffer less pain!"

Xin Yuelan gave a delicate shout, her figure turning into a streak of blood-colored light, carrying an incomparably sharp Demonic Path Sword Intent as she lunged straight for Yao Delong!

"Surrender? In your dreams! Pure Yang Sword Art—Scorching Sun Incinerating the Heavens!"

There was no fear in Yao Delong's eyes; instead, his Battle Intent surged!

Facing Xin Yuelan, who was only at the Late Golden Core Stage, the cultivation temporarily boosted by the origin breaking pill had not yet fully faded.

His Yuan Power had also partially recovered during their exchange, and the essence of his Pure Yang Power remained!

The golden crow setting sun erupted with blinding golden light, as if raging golden flames were burning upon the blade!

Yao Delong advanced instead of retreating, swinging his sword! The grand Pure Yang Sword Intent was like a blazing sun in the sky,

carrying a majestic will to purify all evil and filth in the world as it met the incoming blood-colored demonic sword!

Boom—!

The golden and red lights collided violently!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, but rather a tooth-gritting "chi-chi" sound!

It was like a red-hot iron being pressed against ice!

Xin Yuelan's blood-red pupils shrank suddenly, and for the first time, a look of horror appeared on her face!

"How is this possible?!"

She felt that her pure Devilish Qi, which was usually invincible and specifically countered Righteous Path spiritual power,

had actually met its natural enemy upon touching the opponent's golden sword light!

Not only was it unable to corrode a single bit, but it was being frantically burned and purified by that utmost Yang and extreme Pure Yang Power!

Streams of pure Demonic Essence were like melting snow, rapidly evaporated by the golden flames!

Even more shocking to her was that the power coming from Yao Delong's sword was so thick and heavy that he didn't seem like a Cultivator who had just entered the Golden Core stage!

That pure and majestic Pure Yang Yuan Power was like a great river, endless, and every collision numbed her arm and made her blood surge!

"Damn it! His Pure Yang Power counters my Demonic Essence too strongly!"

Xin Yuelan was both shocked and furious. The Demonic Technique she was so proud of seemed to lose more than half its power before Yao Delong.

She had to divert a large amount of Demonic Essence to resist the Pure Yang Power that was constantly eroding her like maggots on a bone, suppressing her strength by at least twenty percent!

"A good opportunity!" Yao Delong keenly captured the horror in Xin Yuelan's eyes and the hesitation in her movements.

He attacked fiercely with his sword, his Pure Yang Sword Intent wide and sweeping, forcing Xin Yuelan to retreat again and again,

while quietly injecting a wisp of invisible, formless Void Flame Blazing Fire, which contained terrifyingly high heat, into the ground beneath his feet.

"Back! Just a little further!" Yao Delong chanted in his heart. His sword moves seemed fierce but actually left room for maneuver,

fighting and retreating, leading Xin Yuelan toward the area where he had secretly laid a trap without a trace.

Xin Yuelan was frustrated beyond belief by Yao Delong's Pure Yang Sword Intent that countered her Devilish Qi, and her anger flared.

She only wanted to take down this troublesome brat as quickly as possible and for a moment failed to notice the subtle changes in the ground beneath her feet.

"Now!" A brilliant light burst from Yao Delong's eyes!

"Void Flame Blazing Fire—Bind!"

Boom—!

The earth beneath Xin Yuelan's feet suddenly exploded! A thread of completely transparent and invisible fire,

rapidly transforming into a massive "fire dragon" composed of dark red flames emitting terrifyingly high heat, erupted from the ground without warning!

As if possessed of life, it instantly coiled upward, tightly binding the caught-off-guard Xin Yuelan!
