Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Delong hadn't forgotten the skills of a valiant bombardier. With the help of the Spirit Explosion Spider Ball, he led the Sea-Gazing cultivators, who were trapped in the Sin Prison, to barely hold off the pirate raiders' attack.

Su Qing had long recognized the dangers of this prison area, and before the Bi'an ship approached, he unleashed all nine swords of his nine tails, cutting himself first.

However, it was the fighting armor technique bestowed upon him by the Qiongqi Dao pattern.

With his current mastery of this Dao pattern, the Battle Armor Technique can already be stacked up to nine hundred and ninety-nine layers, which is the strongest effect that the Qiongqi Dao pattern at the peak of the fourth level can achieve.

As for the armor covering his body, which was a blood-red and blackish-brown color, how effective was it at defense?

To put it simply, ever since he achieved the 999-layered body armor, he has sometimes even forgotten to wear the Tier 3 Heroic Armor that Long stole from his father-in-law's house!

Of course, I'm still wearing this Tier 3 Yingzhao armor today.

"Wearing the Yingzhao Armor underneath, the Tiger Egg Puppet Armor on top, and nine hundred and ninety-nine layers of battle armor, I want to see how much my Sin Prison Domain can reduce my defense!"

He naturally knew that this Sin Prison Domain was not just about weakening a cultivator's defense; it used the power of evil runes to suppress opponents in all aspects, including movement speed, attack speed, magic resistance, physical resistance, Taoist arts, and combat skills.

But as long as his armor is thick and his health is high, he won't be easily killed. In terms of attack power, he can stack up his Blood Killing Technique with just a little bit of effort. As for attack speed, he wears the Tiger Egg armor, has nine tails and nine swords. Oh right, there are only eight swords now, one of which is still stuck in the Chiwen. But that doesn't matter. With nine tails and eight swords, plus the Six Harmony Hands that he has improved and upgraded over the years, he also has eight hands and eight spears. Even if his attack speed is slow, with enough of them, he won't have to worry about the slow speed of stacking Blood Killing Technique.

The problem of movement speed is a bit of a headache. All the Dao patterns he had obtained in the past were unrelated to the speed of escape techniques.

Of the Taoist arts I've acquired over the years at Wanghai Huayuan, only the Earth-level Taoist art "Iron Legs Drifting on the Sea" is somewhat related to escape techniques. Just from the name, you can tell that this Taoist art has some substance, but it certainly isn't much.

I wonder if Master Fuhu still holds the title of his disciple. This old man seems to have mastered the body-cultivation combat technique of Shrinking the Earth into an Inch. He gave him the title of master, borrowed his combat technique, and then severed the master-disciple relationship.

"It's tanky and deals high damage, it just lacks a sprint ability, but that shouldn't be a big problem!"

Su Qing glanced at the heavy, tiger-like hull of the Bi'an. Seeing how reckless it was, he couldn't possibly do something as despicable as using its agility and speed, combined with the Sin Prison Domain, to play the dog-walking tactic!
Meanwhile, Su Qing waited quietly for the Bi'an to approach. Due to his lack of speed in his escape technique, he was still a little apprehensive about whether he could quickly end the battle after falling into the Sin Prison domain.

On the opposite Bi'an, from the ship owner Gongsun Zhi to the pirate laborers, everyone was even more nervous than Su Qing.

"Why didn't that dog puppeteer dodge?!"

"Why don't you dodge it? This tiger-headed ship is so big, wouldn't you be confused if it hit you?"

"Wouldn't it be better if he didn't dodge? Let the Bi'an ram him hard!"

"You pig-headed idiot! The Sin Prison Domain of the Bi'an is most effective against cultivators who are trying to escape the Bi'an's pursuit. Since he's not dodging or flinching, once he falls into the Sin Prison Domain, there won't be much of a suppressive effect left!"

"If this doesn't work, let's turn back. That puppeteer pierced through the Chiwen with a single sword strike. He's definitely not someone to mess with. Are our Bi'an and Chiwen really that close? Is it worth it for them to provoke such a ruthless person?"

"We didn't expect this puppeteer to be so brave. Our boss wanted to take this opportunity to seize the Chiwen Ship, so he got involved in this mess. Now that Su Qing has been identified as a criminal, the Bi'an Ship can't turn around unless he is arrested!"

Unable to turn around!

Gongsun Zhi's face was full of frustration.

He regretted his greed for the Chiwen, and his attempt to take advantage of its perilous situation to incorporate this pirate king's ship into his own fleet.

I regret overestimating the intelligence of this puppeteer and underestimating his courage, for he dared to face the charge of the Bixie and minimize the impact of the Sin Prison Domain.

His biggest regret was that he shouldn't have targeted Su Qing as a criminal on the Bi'an Ship. As a result, driven by the instinct of the Bi'an evil runes, he could only control the ship again by arresting Su Qing. During this period, the Bi'an Ship would only target Su Qing and fight to the death!
"We're already here. Even if the Sin Prison Domain weakens him much, with the pirate brothers of the Chiwen Fleet helping us hold off his men, I refuse to believe that my thousands of brothers in the Bi'an Fleet can't deal with him alone. Brothers, don't back down before the battle even begins. He's already released his puppets, just those nine tails, eight swords, eight hands, and eight spears. I just don't believe he can kill us all!"

The arrow is on the bowstring, the girl is in bed, there's no choice but to go for it!

With a loud roar, Gongsun Zhi urged the Bi'an to ram fiercely into Su Qing.

Beng Beng La La Ba!
A series of crisp, metallic clanging sounds reached the ears of all the cultivators on the battlefield.

When they looked in the direction of the sound, they saw that Su Qing, like a humanoid monster, was directly confronting the fourth-tier royal ship, Bi'an, with his own qi armor.

It's really hard!
It crashed through the Bi'an ship, creating a human-shaped hole, breaking through its protective array, and fell into its treasure ship.

It’s really strong!
The suppressive effect of the Sin Prison Domain was as if it were nothing to him. When the Nine-Tailed Eight Swords moved, the number of holes pierced by the pirate cultivator was too many to count. The eight hands and eight spears were also extremely domineering. Every time the spears came down, there was the sound of dragon roars and tiger howls. The killing power was not as good as the Nine-Tailed Eight Swords that used the Heaven-level combat skill, but the special effects and momentum were no less.

"Who, who else!"

Like a tiger among sheep, Su Qing slaughtered them with unrestrained joy and satisfaction. With a triumphant roar, he terrified the surrounding pirates and cultivators, who turned pale and retreated, no longer daring to approach him to engage in any more fighting or brandishing of weapons.

Gongsun Zhi, who was surrounded and protected by his pirate brothers, was not in danger of losing his life because his brothers were not all dead yet and he still had them as human shields. He was able to remain calm and thus see through Su Qing's weakness.

"Quickly, use control and binding spells. Bring out all the equipment on the ship. We don't need to hurt him, just trap him in place. Send a message to the fellow Daoists on the Yazi. Once we've trapped him, let the Yazi Divine Might Cannon blast this dog puppeteer into dust!"

At the cost of losing several pirate brothers, Gongsun Ye had already realized that the strength of Su Qing's black and red armor was beyond the defenses of their Bi'an ship.

The only option now is to play a support role, letting the Yazi ship take the damage dealer position and have it fire at the puppeteer. Only then might they have a chance of killing this puppeteer. "Absolutely not, Captain! This puppeteer is still on our Bi'an ship! The Yazi Divine Might Cannon doesn't discriminate. One shot and we might not even know if the puppeteer dies, but we'll definitely be dead! Our deaths don't matter! The Bi'an ship will also suffer heavy damage!"

Some crew members cried out in fear, unwilling to perish together with this puppeteer. Although it seemed that they, as minor cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage and second-tier nobodies, were making a profit by exchanging their lives with the boss, a fourth-tier puppeteer, they didn't care about the bigger picture. They wouldn't trade their own lives for anything else!

"Are you all stupid? After trapping him, can't we just jump ship and escape? You don't want to die, but I do? As for the Bi'an, you don't need to worry about it. Arresting and executing this fourth-level criminal will provide the Bi'an with enough prisoner's evil energy to repair the damaged hull, and it might even be able to advance further!"

While reassuring his brothers, Gongsun Zhi unleashed various magical artifacts and talismans, demonstrating his Taoist skills and setting a good example, intending to trap Su Qing to death on the Bi'an ship.

The other crew members, while using their brothers as human shields to dodge Su Qing's attacks, also followed suit, using their own control and binding Taoist combat techniques. As for magical artifacts and talismans, they were reluctant to use them. Using their own things to fight the enemy of the state would be foolish, wouldn't it? Gongsun Zhi was a skinflint, and he wouldn't reimburse them after the battle.

"Eight Treasures Binding Immortal Rope! Hit! It's bound his legs. Captain Gongsun's aim is amazing!"

"Frostfire Gauntlets, a Tier 3 special attack type slowing weapon, Captain Gongsun's most treasured possession. Which pirate brother wears these gauntlets and gives this dog puppeteer a good whack? Captain Gongsun said the gauntlets are his. Why wouldn't I wear them? I'm not a magic cultivator, I can't take advantage of that!"

"Immobilization talisman, mind-locking talisman, pressure talisman, prisoner talisman, wow, really wow, Captain Gongsun is something else, just how many good things is he hiding on him!"

"Watch my 'Red Light, Green Light' technique!"

"Everyone, watch closely! My family's secret combat technique, the Flying Kick to the Crippled Leg, will surely break this dog puppeteer's leg!"

The scene was chaotic.

The pirate who unfortunately landed near Su Qing was used as a shield by his brothers behind him and was killed by Su Qing, his flesh and blood flying everywhere, a truly gruesome sight.

Hiding behind them, the pirates who were already preparing to abandon ship and run away shouted to show that they had used up all their skills and were no longer useful, and then they abandoned ship and ran away with a clear conscience.

Despite the pirates' attacks and the insidious, uncontrollable Taoist techniques they employed, Su Qing's killing speed remained undiminished.

The Blood Killing Technique had already reached nine hundred and ninety-nine layers. Now, every spear and sword strike was as easy as paper for third-level body cultivators and Golden Core cultivators. Those Foundation Establishment cultivators were instantly killed by the sword light and spear wind, unable to escape.

If it weren't for the fact that Gongsun Ye had accumulated some valuable items through years of burning, killing, and looting, and had used numerous third-tier magic artifacts, talismans, and other valuable items to bind him, this ship of pirates might have already been wiped out by him.

This pirate king has really lived up to his reputation all these years. The treasure in his hand, called the Eight Treasures Binding Immortal Rope, seems to be a spiritual treasure. It looks like a straw rope, with eight treasures hanging from it, including golden bells, silver bells, pendants, necklaces, pearls, and colorful jade. It exudes a familiar Dao pattern aura, with a Dao pattern grade of at least the fifth elder. Because he was unable to use the Fearless Dao pattern to become immune to its binding effect, his legs were bound and he gradually became unable to move.

With his legs bound, Su Qing was furious. He brandished his spear and wielded his spirit sword, creating a chaotic dance of spear and sword. Centered on the Bi'an ship, he transformed this area into a living hell. Not to mention cultivators, even ants and bedbugs would not be able to escape unscathed.

Meanwhile, the crew members of the Bi'an who were quick to escape had already found an opportunity to jump off the ship. However, they were too late to escape and were caught in the power of Su Qing's sword and spear, unable to move. They could only stand there in fear, waiting for Su Qing to cut them down like grass. Oh, they were the grass that was being cut down.

In this situation, Gongsun Ye, the owner of the Bi'an ship, was in a very awkward position.

As a peak third-tier Golden Core cultivator, he believed that spirit stones were the key to combat power. Over the years, he had transformed all the spirit stones he had plundered into external cultivation items that could enhance his combat power. Right now, the fact that he was able to trap the peerless general Su Qing on the Bixie was largely thanks to the treasures he had accumulated.

Since he bought the treasure with his own money, he could only use it himself. As a result, he didn't even have a chance to find a scapegoat to replace him and control Su Qing so that he could escape!

The crew members who could run away all ran away, but he, the captain of the ship, is still missing, his fate unknown. Is this reasonable? Is this reasonable?
Seeing that Su Qing had finished cutting all the weeds on the boat and that her blood-red eyes had finally fixed on him, Gongsun Ye shuddered and became fully awake.

He didn't care whether the Yazi account had locked onto Su Qing or not.

Gongsun Ye's life was not something he could trade for Su Qing's!
Not only can Su Qing's life not be exchanged for his, but even his most powerful spiritual treasure, the Eight Treasures Binding Immortal Rope, cannot be lost on this Bi'an!
With a thought, he retrieved the Eight Treasures Binding Immortal Rope and used the remaining third-tier magic artifacts and talismans to restrain Su Qing for a moment longer. He then leaped into the sea with a splash and, like a turtle, burrowed into the deep sea, intending to paddle away from Bi'an.

The instant he submerged, he saw a blazing, sun-like cannon fire from the Yazi God, trailing a rainbow of light, shooting toward him.

"Good shot! Let's see if you, you dog puppeteer, are still alive this time. You deserve to die! You killed most of the elite troops of my Bi'an ship and destroyed most of my treasures. If you don't die, who will!"

Gongsun Ye turned his fierce gaze to Su Qing, who was about to die but was unaware of it.

Poor thing.

A young dog puppeteer who can create countless puppets, after a hundred years of cultivation, becomes an unparalleled general who can cut people down like vegetables.

If he were given a few more years to develop and cultivate, a figure like the former Langya Zhenren and Shanlu Zhenren would surely rise in the cultivation world of the Western Sea.

What a pity, why did I have to provoke those pirates?

When jade clashes with rubble, who will die if not you?
Just as Gongsun Ye was enjoying himself, he saw that Su Qing was really ruthless. Even though the Yazi Divine Might Cannon was about to hit him, he didn't dodge the cannon. Instead, he twisted his waist and swung his hips, holding a battle spear in his hand, and suddenly shot it at him.

That spear was not the Yazi Divine Might Cannon, but in Gongsun Ye's eyes, it was faster and more ferocious than the divine might cannon.

Gongsun Ye wanted to hide. Of course, who wouldn't want to hide when their life is in danger? Everyone should be as ruthless as that puppeteer Su Qing.

But he couldn't dodge it. The spear was imbued with nine hundred and ninety-nine layers of Blood Slaughter Technique, and further enhanced by the fearless Dao runes that grew stronger with each battle, making it indestructible and unbreakable. Launched from the hand of Su Qing, who possessed the cultivation of a peak third-tier body cultivator and, wearing the Tiger Egg armor, the power of a fourth-tier body cultivator, if Gongsun Ye had been able to block it, he wouldn't have needed to abandon ship and flee.
