Wu Sheng: I can adapt to evolution

Chapter 123: The Showdown Between Powers

The leader took off his hood and cloak, revealing a black brocade robe. He had a fair face and no beard, giving people a feminine feeling.

Just now, he sensed someone using a falcon to spy on him, so he used his authority to force the falcon to commit suicide. Presumably, that shadowy being was already dead. However, these were trivial matters. His true purpose was the Fountain of Youth, suspended in the sky.

Wu Miao acts in an overbearing manner and has even interfered in the affairs of the royal family.

Starting with the third emperor of the Daqian era, the Martial Temple gradually restricted the emperor's power. Emperors were restricted to martial arts training and forbidden from exercising power. However, practicing martial arts only afforded a maximum lifespan of 150 years, far less than the blissful lifespan of exercising power, which could easily extend to 300 to 500 years.

However, the power of the Temple of War was too great, and even a high priest personally banned the power once inherited by the royal family, thus weakening the royal authority.

However, after banning the power of the royal family, the Temple of Martial Arts also became a staunch supporter of the royal family. Anyone else who wanted to shake the power of the royal family would be eliminated by the Temple of Martial Arts.

"The Fountain of Youth..."

The leader narrowed his eyes and looked at the spring water emitting light in the sky.

The Martial Temple does not allow the royal family to hold power, but this fountain of youth is not power.

"Huh? You're really like a dog, chasing me so closely."

Just as he was about to take action, he suddenly looked into the distance and saw more than a dozen figures slowly appearing on the distant skyline.

It was very far away one second ago, and less than a hundred feet away from everyone the next second.

"Yin Baihua, it really is you."

Everyone in the Wu Temple recognized this feminine man at a glance.

"The Grand Priest has ordered that no one related to the royal family may leave the capital. You have blatantly disobeyed orders and must be executed!"

Everyone in the Wu Temple looked at the people in front of them, each speaking in an indifferent tone.

As the words fell, a mysterious force seemed to twist and fall on Yin Baihua.

But before Yin Baihua could move, the head of a person next to him rolled down.

It seemed that the two sides had only exchanged a few words, but it was already an extremely dangerous confrontation.

It is obvious that the people in the Martial Temple hold the power of laws and can kill people with just one word, but Yin Baihua's power can transfer the harm and let others die in his place.

"Discipline Guards, huh? A bunch of useless people relying on external things. Catch me first."

Yin Baihua sneered, and his face suddenly blurred, changing from a feminine and pale look to a slightly honest one. A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, as if he didn't know what was going on.

But the next moment, sword energy swept through the void and killed him. Then the sword energy continued to fly, killing all the people brought by Yin Baihua.

"Yin Baihua holds the power over the [Puppet]. As long as everyone nearby is killed, he won't be able to escape."

Gu Chen, the chief priest of Bingzhou Martial Temple, said loudly.

As the person in charge of a state, he is qualified to check all the registered seventh-level martial arts masters in the world. This Yin Baihua has served many generations of emperors and held the power of a puppet.

However, after killing these guards, no trace of Yin Baihua was found.

"He must have hidden himself in the Hu tribe."

Gu Chen looked up at the Hu people's tribal headquarters not far away. Although they had been slaughtered by Dingyuan Hou and others, there were still tens of thousands of people including the elderly, the weak, women and children.

A person who is good at [Puppet] power, entering here is like a fish entering the sea, and it is difficult to find him.

"Then destroy the entire tribe."

Several discipline guards of the Martial Temple looked at each other before slowly speaking.

Their voices were hoarse and seemed to contain no emotion.

For them, the most important thing is to kill Yin Baihua, and any force standing in their way must be destroyed.

After saying that, one of the Discipline Guards took out an exquisite crossbow.

"Tianyun Hun Tian Crossbow!" Gu Chen's eyelids twitched slightly, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes. It seemed that the high priest was really angry and actually asked someone to take out this thing.

"call out."

The Discipline Guard installed an ordinary crossbow arrow on the crossbow. In fact, it was just an ordinary crossbow arrow.

But this crossbow is no ordinary thing.

The mechanism was pressed, and the arrow was instantly launched into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Boom."

The originally gray sky suddenly turned pitch black, and then dull sounds like thunder continued to be heard.

"WTF?"

Lu Ming released countless birds as spies, monitoring everything here, but suddenly, all the birds became restless and instinctively wanted to escape.

"Boom."

He immediately changed his perspective and looked up at the sky.

After just one glance, Lu Ming opened his mouth slightly.

Above the sky, a mighty meteor shower flew across the sky, and meteorites of all sizes, burning with flames, fell straight towards the earth.

The point where the meteorite landed was exactly the headquarters of the tribal alliance.

"The wind is so tight!"

Lu Ming quickly told the birds to scatter and hide as far away as possible.

These guys are playing more perverted than each other.

These tribesmen had not yet recovered from the grief of being killed by Marquis Dingyuan, but when they saw the meteorite rapidly approaching in the sky, everyone in the entire garrison fell into extreme despair.

Some of the strong ones grabbed horses and prepared to rush out of the area, but most of the elderly, weak, women and children did not even have the strength to run and could only watch the meteorite fall in horror.

All natural spirits also felt the great terror and released their own powers to try to resist these meteorites.

"boom!"

The earth seemed to have experienced a major earthquake. The power of these natural spirits was as fragile as paper in the presence of these meteorites. Even the Great Lord [Doomsday] seemed insignificant in front of this scene that seemed like the end of the world.

Layer upon layer of meteorites fell, and the entire tribal alliance was destroyed in just a moment.

From soldiers to women and children, from humans to cattle and horses, all lives perished in an instant.

Due to the large number of tribesmen who died, all the natural spirits seemed to have suffered a devastating disaster, and their spiritual light immediately dimmed.

But because they were all connected to the spring, with the gurgling of the spring water, they soon returned to normal.

But what about Yin Baihua?
They looked at the ruins on the ground and could not sense any signs of life.

But they noticed that Yin Baihua's energy had not been cut off.

Yin Baihua's [Puppet] power allows him to attach himself to any living being. While his combat power isn't particularly strong, he's incredibly unpredictable and difficult to guard against. If you're not careful, he'll constantly be replaced. With everyone killed, where else could he hide?

“Those nature spirits!”

Gu Chen suddenly thought of something, and he suddenly looked up at the hundreds of natural spirits floating in the sky.

If these natural spirits are also considered living beings, then Yin Baihua may have replaced one of them.

But the problem now is that these natural spirits rely on spring water to sustain their lives and cannot be killed at all, which means that they cannot kill Yin Baihua for the time being.

This is trouble!
