Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

Chapter 391: Fierce Battle with Energy Puppet

Meanwhile, Xiao Qi leads a group of monks on a unique journey of cultivation. She knows that when an unknown crisis looms like a dark cloud, improving her own strength is undoubtedly the key to breaking through.

Day and night, they diligently practiced, plunging headfirst into the vast ocean of magic and honing their skills in combat. Every movement was imbued with their fervent desire to push their limits. Every move, every form, was imbued with their unwavering dedication to becoming stronger.

Xue Tianhan, together with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, devoted himself to optimizing the defensive layout of the camp.

They replanned the patrol routes, and every step was carefully considered to ensure that there were no blind spots in the patrol; more traps and early warning devices were added, and the location of each trap and the placement angle of each early warning device were repeatedly considered and tested to ensure that there were no mistakes, building an indestructible line of defense for the camp.

"Sect Master Xue, this is the latest improved defensive magic circle. It can not only resist conventional attacks, but also respond quickly to stealth attacks." A cultivator who was good at magic circles reported to Xue Tianhan expectantly, with a proud gleam in his eyes.

Xue Tianhan took the magic circle design and carefully examined every detail with a sharp gaze. He nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, continue to improve it. We must pay attention to every detail and not give the enemy any opportunity to exploit."

A few days later, the spies gradually brought back some intelligence. Although they didn't directly reveal the enemy's major conspiracy, some subtle clues, like the faint twinkling of stars in the dark night, caught the attention of Xue Tianhan and Xiao Qi.

"Tianhan, look at this intelligence. The enemy has been frequently mobilizing supplies recently, and abnormal spiritual power fluctuations have appeared in some mysterious training sites." Xiaoqi pointed at the intelligence on the table, frowned slightly, and analyzed it carefully, his eyes revealing worry and vigilance.

Xue Tianhan pondered for a moment, a trace of worry flashing in his deep eyes: "It seems that they are indeed carrying out some secret operations, most likely to improve their strength or prepare powerful weapons. We must speed up our training progress and strengthen our surveillance of those areas with abnormal spiritual energy fluctuations."

"Have Sister Qing and the others made any progress? Have they found the right herbs to make the elixir?" Xiao Qi asked anxiously, his eyes full of anticipation.

"It's not that easy. The space is not small now. Without my help, it will be difficult for them to travel through the entire chaotic space alone." Xue Tianhan shook his head and said helplessly, with a bitter smile on his face.

Xiao Qi frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes: "This is not a solution. We must find a more effective way to find medicinal herbs. Refining elixirs is crucial to improving our strength, especially when this unknown crisis is approaching."

Xue Tianhan gently held Xiao Qi's hand, trying to calm her down. "I know, Xiao Qi. I plan to enter the Chaos Dimension for a while. With my familiarity with the Chaos Dimension, I might be able to speed up the search for medicinal herbs. However, while my spiritual consciousness is inside, the safety of Liu Bei's key figures will depend entirely on you."

Xiao Qi stared at Xue Tianhan, his eyes full of worry: "Don't worry about me, I will definitely protect everyone."

Xue Tianhan smiled gently and stroked Xiao Qi's hair: "You must be careful here and don't take it lightly."

After making all the arrangements, Xue Tianhan found a quiet place, closed his eyes, and slowly probed his spiritual thoughts into the chaotic space.

As soon as you enter, rich spiritual energy hits you like a surging tide, and the surrounding scene is hazy and mysterious.

With his special perception of chaotic space, he quickly locked onto the location of Sister Qing and the others. When his divine sense approached, Sister Qing and the others were gathered in front of a strange spiritual medicine, with troubled expressions on their faces.

"Young Master, you are finally here! This piece of elixir seems to hide some powerful restrictions, and we can't get close to it at all." Sister Qing saw Xue Tianhan's divine consciousness, her eyes full of joy and expectation, as if she saw an oasis in the desert.

"Yes, Master, this restriction is too difficult to deal with. We have studied it for a long time but cannot open it." Xiao Huang agreed.

"Where is Xiaobai?" Xue Tianhan believed that if Xiaobai took action, this restriction should not be a problem for him.

"It went to the other side with Sister Mei to look for medicinal herbs." The Green Snake Lady replied.

"Oh, then I'll study it." Xue Tianhan carefully observed the elixir and found that there were faint runes flashing in it. These runes were somewhat similar to the records in the ancient documents he had studied.

He focused his mind, mobilizing the familiar power within the chaotic space, and cautiously approached the elixir, attempting to break the restriction. As he poured his power into it, the runes within the elixir began to flicker more intensely, and a powerful repulsive force came over him, as if an invisible hand were blocking his progress.

Xue Tianhan gritted his teeth, increasing his power output. Although his mind was invisible, he could still feel the effort. His mind trembled slightly as it fought against the restriction, and every bit of power consumed made him feel exhausted, but he never had the slightest thought of retreating.

After a difficult battle, Xue Tianhan finally found the weak point of the restriction and cracked it in one fell swoop. Several herbs emitting strange light appeared in the spiritual medicine, which was one of the key medicinal ingredients needed to refine the elixir.

Lady Green Snake and Little Yellow cheered and carefully picked the herbs. However, just as they were about to leave, a low roar suddenly came from not far away, probably because some powerful creature was startled.

Xue Tianhan's mind quickly made a judgment: "Be careful, it seems that something powerful has been alarmed by us. Sister Qing, you and Xiao Huang leave first, I will lead it away."

Lady Green Snake wanted to argue, but seeing Xue Tianhan's determined "eyes", she had no choice but to nod: "Sir, you must be careful, we will wait for you over there."

Xue Tianhan's mind moved, and he shouted, "Sword!"

A flash of cold light appeared in his hand. He held the light in his hand and stared intently at the direction of the sound. His eyes were filled with vigilance and determination, like a warrior about to rush into battle.

A moment later, a huge energy puppet with black flames burning all over its body rushed out from the chaotic fog. There was a bloodthirsty light flashing in its eyes, and it was obviously completely enraged.

Xue Tianhan took a deep breath, mobilized the power in the chaotic space, and faced the energy puppet. He displayed his exquisite sword skills and started a fierce battle with the energy puppet.

The energy puppet's attack was extremely ferocious. Every time it swung its claws, it brought up a black fire storm, as if it was going to devour everything around it.

But Xue Tianhan, relying on his familiarity with the chaotic space and his flexible response, cleverly avoided the attacks time and time again, looking for opportunities to counterattack. His figure shuttled through the firestorm, his illusory sword flashing with cold light, and each attack brought with it a powerful force.

Meanwhile, Xiao Qi dared not slack off in the camp. She knew the weight of her responsibility: not only did she have to supervise everyone's training, but she also had to keep an eye on everyone around her to ensure the safety of key figures like Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

She rearranged the guard deployment, increased patrols, and personally set up defensive formations around the tents of key figures. She personally inspected every guard position and every node of the formation, not missing a single detail.

"Everyone must be vigilant. Tianhan is looking for an opportunity for us to improve our strength. We must also guard this place well and cannot make any mistakes." Xiaoqi said to the guards seriously, with an unquestionable majesty in his voice.

"Ancestor Xiaoqi, why hasn't Sect Master Xue come back yet? Did something happen?" A cultivator asked worriedly, his eyes full of anxiety.

Although Xiao Qi was also very worried, he still pretended to be calm: "Everyone, don't worry, Tianhan will be fine. We will continue to do our own work well and improve our strength. This is also the greatest support for Tianhan."

Meanwhile, the battle between Xue Tianhan and the energy puppet had reached a fever pitch. The energy puppet, sensing Xue Tianhan's formidable strength, suddenly changed its attack pattern. Instead of blindly waving its claws, it gathered the black flames around it, forming a massive flaming cage that trapped Xue Tianhan.

The flame cage continued to shrink, and the scorching heat made Xue Tianhan's mind feel a burning pain. Xue Tianhan realized that he could no longer passively defend himself. He closed his eyes and concentrated all his mind, feeling the flow of power in the chaotic space.

Suddenly, he noticed a slight disturbance in the energy fluctuations in a corner of the flame cage. Without hesitation, he mobilized the spiritual power of the chaotic space, focusing all his strength on the cold light, and stabbed at the disordered area with all his strength.

With a loud bang, a hole was torn in the flame cage, and Xue Tianhan took the opportunity to rush out. But the energy puppet didn't give him a chance to breathe, immediately launching a new round of attacks. This time, its attacks were faster and more powerful, and each strike was accompanied by the sound of breaking wind.

Xue Tianhan dodged the attacks while rapidly thinking of countermeasures in his mind. He knew that if he continued like this, his strength would be exhausted sooner or later. Suddenly, he had an idea and came up with a risky plan.

He deliberately exposed a flaw to lure the energy puppet into attacking. Sure enough, the energy puppet fell into the trap and pounced on him with its claws waving.

Just when the claw was about to hit him, Xue Tianhan displayed an extremely mysterious body movement and instantly appeared behind the energy puppet. At the same time, he injected the power of chaos into the illusory sword and stabbed it fiercely at the core of the energy puppet.

The energy puppet roared, its black flames pulsing violently. It struggled desperately, trying to escape Xue Tianhan's attack. Xue Tianhan gritted his teeth and increased his power output, knowing that this was the crucial moment that would determine victory or defeat.

Finally, with a violent energy explosion, the energy puppet's body began to disintegrate, turning into countless energy fragments and dissipating in the air.

Xue Tianhan was breathing heavily with fatigue, but there was a gleam of victory in his eyes.
