165: The leader takes action and the sword master is put into the coffin

"Puppet? Battle formation?"

A group of Spring and Autumn Sword Palace's Elders, the Palace Lord, and True Disciples all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, thankfully, the young man brought by this Great Power was not going to personally fight the Sword Lord. Otherwise, with the Sword Lord's foul temper, he might really disregard everything and cut down that young man with a single sword. If that Great Power were to become enraged then, the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace could forget about surviving today.

But thankfully, this young man specialized in Puppet Technique and would not directly engage the Sword Lord. Moreover, his Puppet Technique seemed extremely profound.

Twenty-four Puppets, all comparable to Yin Gods, could even form the Twenty-Four Constellation Greedy Wolf Battle Formation.

Such Puppet Technique, let alone in South Chu, is unique and unparalleled even in the entire Northern Qi.

If he were facing not the Sword Lord, but a typical Yin God Great Cultivator, or even a peak Yin God cultivator, they would not be this young man's opponent and would be easily defeated by his Puppet battle formation.

But he was facing the Sword Lord, the Sword Lord born alongside an immortal sword. His accompanying Spirit Treasure immortal sword was incomparably sharp, most effectively countering these physically powerful Puppets and also the strong physical bodies of Body Refinement cultivators.

With a single sword strike, what Puppets, what powerful physical bodies, all would be cut into dust.

Cutting down these Puppets is always better than cutting down that young man with a single sword. At worst, the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace would shed a little blood in the end and compensate for that young man's losses.

As for whether the battle formation formed by this young man's twenty-four Puppets would pose any threat to the Sword Lord, the Elders, True Disciples, and even that Palace Lord of the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace had never considered it.

Because it was impossible.

"Mere Puppets!" The Sword Lord's eyes narrowed slightly, then he raised his hand. Sword Qi immediately flowed in his palm, and in a flash, an ancient and vibrant green immortal sword appeared.

"Boom!"

At the same moment, the twenty-four Divine Travel Dao Soldiers roared as they stirred the Five Elements power of heaven and earth, the power of wind, and even the Earthly Fiend power. Instantly, they manifested the celestial deity phenomenon, Greedy Wolf, above the battle formation.

That Greedy Wolf constellation phenomenon was as large as a mountain, as if the celestial deity from the Starry Sky had truly descended. It possessed supreme Divine Might. With just one step, it instantly appeared above the Sword Lord's head.

"Rumble!"

The Void exploded with thunder, rolling gale winds swept up air currents, blasting outwards in all directions from the ground, shattering the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace's mountains.

"Hmm?" The Sword Lord, who hadn't paid attention before, stiffened his face. In a hurry, he unleashed a sword strike. The Sword Qi soared three hundred zhang into the air, slashing diagonally upwards from below at the Greedy Wolf's thousand feet.

"Collapse!"

An astonishing collision erupted. Under the step of the mountain-sized Greedy Wolf constellation phenomenon, the Sword Lord's Sword Qi only managed to hold on for less than three breaths before collapsing inch by inch, suddenly scattering into countless tiny Sword Qi, raging wildly like a breached dam, causing the Void to howl chaotically.

The immortal sword in the Sword Lord's hand sank. His body was stepped down bit by bit, finally being completely stomped into the rolling dust by the Greedy Wolf constellation phenomenon.

But, Greedy Wolf is also an image of slaughter. After the first strike, the second strike immediately followed, another step stomping into the rolling dust.

"Not good!" The Spring and Autumn Sword Palace's True Disciples, Elders, and the Palace Lord all changed color simultaneously.

These Puppets, something is wrong, very wrong!

Not only were they not cut apart by the Sword Lord's accompanying immortal sword, they actually beat the Sword Lord into the dust.

The entire process was incredibly fast. Let alone them, the Elders and True Disciples of the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace, even the Sword Lord himself probably didn't expect that young man's Puppets would be so terrifying.

Especially after forming the Twenty-Four Constellation Greedy Wolf Battle Formation, they were even more despairingly powerful. Even the constellation phenomenon Greedy Wolf manifested!

One must know that to evolve this kind of battle formation to the extent of manifesting the constellation phenomenon, Greedy Wolf, is already the theoretical limit this battle formation can reach, something completely unachievable by normal cultivators. Even if twenty-four cultivators were inseparable for hundreds of years, they couldn't reach this level, because everyone's heart is different, and as long as there are differences, this combined attack formation will inevitably have flaws.

But that young man's Puppets did not have flaws. The twenty-four Puppets were like one body, without any defects, forcefully exerting the power of this battle formation to its peak.

It wasn't that the Sword Lord wasn't strong enough, but that the young man's Puppets were too monstrous after forming the formation.

Under the constellation Greedy Wolf, let alone the Sword Lord, even a Yang God personally arriving might not fare well.

"Hold your hand." The Spring and Autumn Sword Palace's Old Palace Lord could no longer restrain himself. Suddenly, he transformed into a streak of light and vanished from his spot.

But, he left quickly and returned just as quickly.

Because at the very moment the Old Palace Lord made his move, the Young Sect Leader's already slightly annoyed gaze swept over coldly.

No divine light or Immortal Qi was seen, nor were any Divine Powers or astonishing phenomena visible, but that Old Palace Lord of the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace was forcefully struck out of his transformed state, as if hit by a mountain. He coughed up large mouthfuls of blood and was heavily smashed into the depths of the ground. The entire majestic Sword Pavilion was forcefully smashed into collapse, instantly turning into ruins.

"Are this Sect Leader's words not effective enough?" The Young Sect Leader's words carried impatience as he lightly swept his gaze towards that group of Spring and Autumn Sword Palace Elders and True Disciples.

Instantly, the group of Spring and Autumn Sword Palace Elders and True Disciples felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their entire bodies turning cold.

It also felt as if an invisible large hand had tightly clutched their hearts, leaving them feeling suffocated, powerless, and even wanting to vomit blood.

Heaven knows just how monstrously powerful this young Great Power was.

That person was their Spring and Autumn Sword Palace's Old Palace Lord, an existence who had already survived eight Yang God Lightning Tribulations, and also an existence capable of suppressing the entire cultivation world of the nation of Northern Qi.

But such a colossal existence, before that young Great Power, couldn't even withstand a single glance!

Can you believe this?

What's even more outrageous is that no one knew how that young Great Power attacked, nor what pupil technique or Divine Power he used, yet their Old Palace Lord was already coughing blood and retreating in defeat, his life or death unknown.

And what also plunged the entire Spring and Autumn Sword Palace into dead silence was that lying among the corpses alongside their Old Palace Lord, his life or death uncertain, was one of the most outstanding Disciples of the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace's current generation, the Sword Lord.

He, too, was struck into the ground, into the dust and smoke, by the young man brought by that young Great Power.

In less than thirty breaths.

The two pillars of the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace, one from the older generation and one from the younger generation, were both lying among the corpses.

This, who would still dare to move?

No one dared to move!

The Spring and Autumn Sword Palace's True Disciples and Elders dared not look, nor dared to step forward to rescue them. They just stood rooted to the spot, their bodies cold, filled with fear and unease.

"Boom!"

Just then, the dust under the Twenty-Four Constellation Greedy Wolf Battle Formation suddenly exploded. A Yin God, radiating brilliant sword light and enveloped in astonishing Sword Intent, shot up into the sky. It was none other than the Sword Lord, who had been 'killed' by the Greedy Wolf constellation phenomenon's stomp!

His Physical Body was shattered, but his Yin God remained. Now, soaring into the sky, he was already furious: "You destroyed my Physical Body, you deserve death! Fight again!"

Previously, it was his carelessness that led to him being instantly defeated by the Twenty-Four Constellation Greedy Wolf formed by the twenty-four Puppets. Had it not been for that, with the sharpness of his accompanying immortal sword, he would certainly not have ended up like this.

But, although his Physical Body was destroyed, his Yin God remained.

He would not make the same mistake a second time.

This time...

"Gulp!" A Dao Soldier, its entire body shimmering with a dark golden luster, suddenly appeared. With an open mouth, it swallowed the Sword Lord's enraged Yin God.

You've already been beaten into a Yin God, why are you still acting so crazy in front of me?

You're just fodder for my Dao Soldiers, hand it over!

Lu Chen waved his hand, recalling the Five Elements Dao Soldier that had swallowed the Sword Lord's Yin God. Then he waved his hand again, and a Dao Soldier automatically burrowed into the ground, dragged out the Sword Lord's broken Physical Body, and brought it back into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

Other people's physical bodies were useless, but the Sword Lord's was not.

He had an accompanying immortal sword.
