Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 43: Immortal Alliance's trump card

The elders of the Immortal Alliance took out something from their arms. Those things were of different shapes, like pieces of strange puzzles. Several people mobilized their spiritual power, and the puzzle pieces lit up in an instant, then flew up and gathered together, forming a disc in less than a moment.

Luo Ying then took out a blue crystal, put his hand into the center of the disc, and the next moment there was a clicking sound.

The disc emitted a white light, and a huge magic circle lit up in the Immortal Alliance, instantly spreading to the entire island. Then dozens of light pillars shot up into the sky, and groups of light and shadows slowly rose from the light pillars, breaking through the island and rushing towards the direction of the giant beast outside.

At this time, the people of Xuantian Sect outside were still trying hard to break through the void formation outside the Immortal Alliance. Although the Immortal Alliance was in a fairyland that was visible but untouchable, the void formation also had its limit of endurance. By destroying the formation, they would naturally be able to enter.

Then, fire, ice, wind blades, water rolls, lightning strikes, all kinds of strange beasts and magic spells attacked directly in the direction of the Immortal Alliance. The beasts even surrounded the island tightly, and the rumbling sounds of the attacks were endless.

Although the attack failed to reach a physical entity, the void formation was clearly weakening. Just when everyone was planning to make a final push, they saw dozens of beams of light suddenly shooting out from the Immortal Alliance, heading straight for the surrounding strange beasts.

"What is that?!" Yu Xuan, due to his high level of cultivation and keen senses, was the first to notice something was wrong. His face suddenly changed and he shouted, "Be careful!"

But it was still a step too late. With a swish and a flash of light, the tentacles of one of the strange beasts were cut off at the root and fell to the ground with a loud bang like a broken pillar.

Ouch~~~~~
The giant beast suddenly let out a heart-wrenching cry of pain, and its huge body curled up into a ball in pain.

Only then did everyone see clearly that suddenly more than a dozen black figures appeared before their eyes. They were covered in black armor all over their bodies, even their heads were wrapped up. Only a gem-like crystal was embedded on their heads, which was now emitting a dazzling red light.

The key point is that no one sensed any fluctuation in their cultivation from them. Logically, these should be just mortals, but just one blow just now cut off the tentacles of a giant beast.

"Who... who are these people?" Everyone was shocked.

Qi Hong couldn't help but ask loudly, "Are you the Immortal Alliance's trump card?"

“…” The other party did not respond at all.

"I, Qi Hong, never kill nameless people. Tell me your name!" Qi Hong asked again, holding his sword.

“…” There was still no response from the other party, but this time he moved.

A faint buzzing sound was heard, and a faint blue light appeared on the right hands of the dozen or so black shadows. In a moment, it formed the shape of a sharp blade, and then the figure flashed.

These black shadows dispersed again and flew towards the surrounding giant beasts.

"Be careful, strange beasts, retreat!" Qi Hong's heart tightened, and he immediately turned around and shouted a warning in the direction of the giant beasts, even using his spiritual power, just to make sure the giant beasts could hear him.

But the speed of those black shadows was too fast. They flashed in the air like flowing light and attacked the giant beast directly. The dark blue light in their hands was like a magic weapon. Even those strange beasts that mainly relied on defense were instantly injured and left with wounds.

For a moment, the wailing cries of the strange beasts were incessant. In just a few breaths, some had their legs chopped off, some had their wings severed, and some even had their shells ripped apart. The Xuantian Sect's members were terrified. They had never imagined that the beasts, which had just seemed as indestructible as mountains, would be easily defeated by these dark shadows as if they were melons or vegetables.

"Stop!" Yu Xuan was furious and rushed towards a black shadow. He mobilized all the spiritual power in his body and swung his sword to block the opponent's attack on the monster. However, he found that his spiritual sword broke the moment it touched the blue light blade in the opponent's hand, and the light blade came straight towards him.

He was startled, but it was too late to dodge sideways, so he had to swing his hand and strike the opponent with all his strength, instantly pushing the black shadow back three feet. However, he was still cut by the dark blue blade, which cut a deep gash on his chest that was visible to the bone. Blood gushed out and dyed his entire robe red.

"Grand Elder!" Qi Hong was startled and quickly flew over to catch the person, took out the pill and handed it over.

Yu Xuan stared blankly at his palm, eyes wide open with shock and disbelief. He had just struck out, but he hadn't sensed a single breath of life from the other person. What was that...

"Puppets!" he said urgently, "Those black shadows are puppets."

"What?!" Qi Hong was also shocked. Is there such a powerful puppet in the world? Even the beasts with the cultivation of the God Transformation were not a match for the puppet.

"It's true. There is no life in them. They are not living creatures at all." Yu Xuan said affirmatively.

Everyone was shocked. They had heard of the puppet technique before, and some disciples even practiced it, but they had never seen anyone so powerful!

However, the nearby Xihu suddenly thought of something. "Puppet, could it be... the legendary Heavenly Puppet!" Its face changed, and its entire soul trembled as if it had thought of something. "If that's the case, then we're in trouble!"

Seeing more and more strange beasts being injured, Xiongxi gritted his teeth, roared towards the sky, and his soul suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

The transparent figure suddenly expanded, and in the blink of an eye it returned to the huge mountain-like figure it had in the Beast City. There was a strong wind blowing around it, and in a moment a huge wind roll was formed, which sucked in the dozen or so black shadow puppets and prevented them from moving forward.

"All beasts retreat!" it shouted.

The beast that was originally in the front now retreated with its broken body.

But the attack from the Xixiong was only temporary, and since it was only a remnant soul, it couldn't hold out for long. As expected, the dozen or so black shadow puppets quickly stabilized and stood still. Seeing they couldn't break through the Xixiong's wind wall, the red light on their foreheads flickered a few times, then emitted an even brighter light.

Then everyone saw a shocking scene. The dozen or so puppets suddenly began to disintegrate and differentiate like fireworks. Their original human forms turned into clumps of black sand-like objects, and then scattered like smoke and fog, spreading across the entire sky.

"What...what is this?!" Not only Qi Hong and others, but even the monkey who was maintaining the wind wall was stunned. An ominous premonition lingered in everyone's heart.

Sure enough, the next moment, red rays of light lit up, and the black fog in the sky turned into a giant red net that twisted and moved. Then, it suddenly stopped at a certain moment, and a thousand arrows shot towards the crowd at once.
The wind wall of the monkey collapsed instantly, and the tall soul body was directly penetrated. The dazzling red light pressed down on it like an overwhelming force.
