Scheming young man Shen Xiang stood still, surveying his surroundings. He had indeed heard faint sounds earlier and Long Xueyi confirmed that she sensed someone nearby.
“Up there!” yelled Long Xueyi. Shen Xiang looked up, only to see a large net descending from above. He struck it with his palm and a fiery column erupted from his hand, burning through the net.
"Pestering flies," Shen Xiang sneered. Despite his words, he saw that the net was not simple—it was likely a靈器 (spirit tool). However, it could only withstand his Heaven Yang Fire before collapsing.
Swiftly, ten persons clad in black appeared around him. Their bodies exuded violent auras as they wielded black scythes, striking at him with vicious strength. The tips of their scythes emitted a black aura as they whistled through the air, slicing deeply into the ground.
Shen Xiang was pleased by the unexpected encounter. His purpose here was to kill.
“These guys are peculiar,” warned Long Xueyi, sounding serious. “I sense a strange power radiating from them—a peculiar divine awareness. They seem to be under someone’s control.”
This revelation startled Shen Xiang. Now more convinced than ever, he suspected the existence of a conspiracy among the魔道 (dark path sects).
Five of them, wielding their scythes, rushed towards him. Their movements were swift and fierce. The black aura around their scythes intensified as they cleaved through the air, leaving deep marks on the ground.
Shen Xiang moved with subtle agility, leaping into the air just in time to evade their attack. Even if a Sixth Stage True Martial Realm person were hit, death was not guaranteed; severe injury would be.
“Such heavy demonic energy. How do they cultivate Even killing can produce this kind of demonic energy,” White Mystic mused with concern. “Be careful, Shen Xiang. The Southern Wilderness must hold secrets.”
As Shen Xiang jumped into the air, five of the black-clad men suddenly leaped up too and appeared beside him. Five blades targeted him simultaneously from different wind directions, matching their movements eerily well.
As he moved into the air, Shen Xiang channeled his Azure Dragon True Qi. A layer of Azure Dragon Sky罩 surrounded him, as the five scythes bore down on him. Their violent auras combined, exploding in power around them like a storm sweeping through the forest.
After landing on the ground, Shen Xiang noticed that his Azure Dragon Sky罩 was still intact, albeit thinner. He managed to repel the attack with Third Stage True Qi dispersed into this formation, a formidable feat.
Now certain, the ten people were puppets under control, just as Long Xueyi had said. The操控者 (controller) could only use them in similar ways, each attacking at the same time. He couldn’t vary their methods and attack patterns widely because of his limited divine awareness.
Shen Xiang suddenly vanished, disappearing silently into the forest. He moved at an incredible speed through the trees, his body blurred beyond recognition as he concentrated on Light Step skill配合 太極降龍功 (tai chi dragon slaying technique) for concealing his aura. He seemed to have vanished completely.
Recognizing that the puppet controllers were all around him, Shen Xiang appeared again. He struck one black-clad person immediately and quickly moved to another, striking them repeatedly in a blink. His ten strikes were ordinary-looking but were part of his newly acquired powerful Dark Bone Palm technique.
Now, Shen Xiang stood in the middle of the ten black-clad figures. The ten puppets slowly collapsed like pieces of paper, their bones gone—Shen Xiang’s attacks had stripped them of their physical forms. They were no longer alive, but they appeared to be moving due to the puppet control.
These ten puppets were more than capable of handling a Fifth Stage True Martial Realm person, but against Shen Xiang, they were utterly useless.
Removing their hands or giving them a violent strike wouldn’t make these puppets fall—he had already done that. However, without bones, the puppets were now incapacitated and could no longer pose any threat.
Shen Xiang silently admired the power of Dark Bone Palm—a technique he had used for the first time on a person, previously only trying it out on inanimate objects.
“Caught him. Haha, he panicked and unleashed his divine awareness wide, revealing himself,” chuckled Long Xueyi. She immediately informed Shen Xiang of the controller’s location.
Knowing his enemy’s whereabouts, Shen Xiang smirked and struck multiple times against the ground. Each palm was a terrifying Earth Shaking Palm, causing the entire Southern Wilderness to reverberate with thunderous echoes. Observers like Old Dong Chen were stunned outside, not expecting Shen Xiang to engage the魔道 disciples so quickly.
After ten attacks, the area around Shen Xiang’s location resembled a pit dozens of meters wide. He saw the man in front of him, now unrecognizable and gasping for breath. It was a middle-aged man with bloody orifices, his appearance horrifying.
“He’s not dead. Let’s use the Soul Capturing Magic Spell to interrogate him,” suggested White Mystic, intrigued by the demonic energy exuding from the ten puppets.
Not content with his victory, Shen Xiang continued to attack the ground repeatedly. Each Earth Shaking Palm was霸道 (domineering) and destructive, transforming the Southern Wilderness into a battlefield.
“Hit him. That guy should be coughing up blood now,” exclaimed Long Xueyi, pleased by Shen Xiang’s prowess.
Even through the mountains separating them, Shen Xiang’s Earth Shaking Palm could still reach him and cause damage.
Smiling slightly, Shen Xiang continued his barrage of Earth Shaking Palms. The entire Southern Wilderness echoed with the blows, a scene of destruction and chaos as Shen Xiang’s attacks attracted the attention of Old Dong Chen and others outside.
After ten Earth Shaking Palms, the area around Shen Xiang’s location was transformed into a massive pit. He saw the man who was once alive but now barely breathing, his bloody appearance and grotesque expression.
“He’s not dead yet. Let’s use the Soul Capturing Magic Spell to interrogate him,” suggested White Mystic again, curious about the demonic energy emanating from the puppets.m Shen Xiang.He cleaned the scene, ensuring that there were no traces of vile death energy and also wiping out all remaining spirits, so the White Sea Sacred Domain wouldn't be able to summon them.
