335: Chapter 336 Second-Order Puppets! Golden Mother Bean Soldiers!

She had not expected that the enemy would actually set their sights on her home now!

Lu Shiyin was both shocked and furious, but she knew this was no time to panic.

She took a deep breath, steadied her mind, and scanned the situation on the battlefield—

Although the Black-robed man was at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, his natal Spiritual Artifact had been destroyed, and he had suffered a significant backlash, greatly reducing his strength.

Although that Corpse Puppet was fierce, it lacked intelligence after all and could only fight based on instinct.

As long as they could hold off the Corpse Puppet and let Xiao Caiyue focus on dealing with the Black-robed man...

"Madam Lu!"

Beside her, Liu Yiyi turned pale upon seeing the Corpse Puppet, but she bit her lip, struggling to keep herself from screaming.

The words her husband, Ye Changge, had said to her before he left suddenly came to her mind—

"Yiyi, if you ever encounter a powerful enemy, plant that Golden Mother Bean Soldier in the Spiritual Land of your courtyard and water it with your Qi every day. In times of crisis, drip your Essence Blood onto it, and you will be able to activate the Bean Soldier to defend against the enemy..."

Liu Yiyi remembered that the golden bean was currently being carefully planted in the Spiritual Land of her courtyard, where she watered it with her Qi daily, and it had already taken root and sprouted.

She bit her red lips, a flash of determination in her eyes.

Now was the time to use it!

Liu Yiyi hesitated no longer. Stepping on a low-tier Flying Sword, her figure wobbled as she ascended into the air and flew toward the courtyard behind Lake Heart Island where she and Ye Changge lived.

With only Mid Qi Refining Stage cultivation, her ability to fly on a sword was mediocre at best. Now, with anxiety in her heart, she flew even more unsteadily, nearly falling from mid-air several times.

But she gritted her teeth, gripped the Flying Sword tightly, and inched her way toward the courtyard.

Meanwhile, outside the Grand Array.

Li Xuanfeng stood with his hands behind his back, coldly watching the fierce battle within the array.

When he saw the Black-robed man summon that Tier 2 Corpse Puppet, his pupils constricted slightly, and then a flash of realization crossed his eyes.

"As expected, it is the remnant of the Jin family."

Li Xuanfeng muttered to himself, a cold sneer tugging at the corners of his mouth.

He was originally the Old Ancestor of the Li family of Longmai Mountain and had an irreconcilable feud with the Ye family. Back then, Ye Changge had used a Talisman Array to suppress and kill two of the Li family's Foundation Establishment Old Ancestors, annexed the Li family's Spiritual Land, and forced him into a dead end, ultimately compelling him to sign a Spiritual Contract and accept the Ye family's supervision.

During these days, although he appeared to submit to the Ye family on the surface, he was constantly thinking of revenge in his heart.

Tonight, the attack by the remnant of the Jin family was a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity for him!

"Since they have already fallen into the Demonic Path, it does not matter whether they are remnants of the Jin family or not."

A ruthless look appeared in Li Xuanfeng's eyes.

He did not care what their identity was; he only cared about—

Tonight, he wanted Xiao Caiyue to die.

As long as Xiao Caiyue died, there would be no one to preside over the Ye family's Grand Array, and its defense would collapse. Then, he would seize the opportunity to strike and take back Longmai Mountain...

"Heh."

Li Xuanfeng sneered and took out a Talisman with flowing spiritual light from his bosom.

A Tier 2 Prohibition-Breaking Talisman!

Li Xuanfeng stuck the Prohibition-Breaking Talisman onto his palm, and his internal Qi poured into it frantically.

The Talisman instantly lit up with dazzling spiritual light, and a mysterious fluctuation spread from it, creating a strange resonance with the light barrier of the Grand Array.

His figure flashed, arriving at a weak point on the other side of the Grand Array, and he slammed the Prohibition-Breaking Talisman onto the light barrier!

"Sshhh—!"

A crack suddenly appeared on the light barrier!

The crack was initially only as thick as an arm, but as the Prohibition-Breaking Talisman continued to exert force, it rapidly expanded, turning into an opening large enough for one person to pass through in the blink of an eye.

Li Xuanfeng did not hesitate at all; his figure flashed, and he dove inside!

Currently, the Black-robed man was attacking Xiao Caiyue with full force. As long as he attacked from the flank and pincer-attacked with the Black-robed man, he would definitely be able to capture Xiao Caiyue alive!

By then, the Ye family's Grand Array would fall without an attack, and Longmai Mountain would be his for the taking!

Inside the Grand Array.

Lu Shiqing stood at the edge of Lake Heart Island, her hands gripping her hem tightly, her face pale.

Although she was the direct daughter of the Lu family with outstanding talent, she was ultimately only at the Qi Refining Stage. In this Foundation Establishment Stage battlefield, she simply could not intervene.

But when she saw the Corpse Puppet killing toward Xiao Caiyue, her heart grew anxious.

"I cannot let it get close to Sister Xiao!"

Lu Shiqing bit her lip and took out a palm-sized, silver-white humanoid Puppet from her Storage Pouch.

This was an item Ye Changge had specifically left for her self-defense before he departed; it was said to be a Tier 2 Puppet with impressive combat power.

Although she had possessed this item for several days, she had only found it novel and played with it a few times, without truly familiarizing herself with the method of controlling it.

At this critical moment, she could not worry about much else.

Lu Shiqing took a deep breath, poured her internal Qi into the Puppet, and simultaneously recited the control mantra that Ye Changge had taught her.

"Rise!"

The silver-white Puppet suddenly erupted with dazzling light!

The light grew brighter and more intense, as if a small sun were rising in Lu Shiqing's palm!

"Boom!"

As the light dissipated, a silver-white Puppet, two people tall, appeared before everyone.

The Puppet was cast entirely from an unknown metal, with a burly figure and smooth lines, emitting a cold and sharp aura all over. Behind it, five gleaming silver spears were arranged in a fan shape, their tips glinting with cold light, exuding a sharp, heart-palpitating intent.

Its right hand held a long blade that was entirely silver-white; the blade body was slender, the edge as thin as a cicada's wing, shimmering with a chilling luster under the moonlight.

"Go!"

Lu Shiqing pointed her finger at the Corpse Puppet, and the silver-white Puppet moved instantly!

"Swish—!"

At this moment, the five silver spears behind the Puppet shot out simultaneously!

Five streaks of silver light streaked across the night sky like meteors, carrying a sharp whistling sound as they struck the Corpse Puppet that was pouncing toward Xiao Caiyue with the force of thunder!

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—!"

The five silver spears accurately hit the Corpse Puppet's body, erupting with a deafening roar!

Silver light exploded, and spiritual light splattered everywhere!

Each silver spear was comparable to the full-force strike of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. With five spears fired at once, the power was strong enough to severely injure an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

However—

When the silver light dissipated, Lu Shiqing saw a scene that she found hard to believe.

The Corpse Puppet was still standing in the same spot.

The five silver spears were stuck in its chest, abdomen, and shoulders, deeply embedded in the flesh, yet not a single one had pierced through it!

The blue-gray skin was torn, revealing the dark red flesh underneath, yet not a single drop of blood flowed out. The Corpse Puppet looked down at the silver spears stuck in its body, reached out with its large blue-gray hand, grabbed the tail of a spear, and yanked it out!

"Pfft—!"

The silver spear was pulled out, bringing with it a lump of dark red minced flesh, but the Corpse Puppet acted as if it felt nothing and casually threw the silver spear onto the ground.

At its wounds, black Qi churned, and they were actually healing slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"This... how could this be?!"

Lu Shiqing widened her eyes, watching this scene in disbelief.

Ye Changge had clearly said that a full-force strike from this Tier 2 Puppet was enough to severely injure a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
