Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

Chapter 394 Life hangs on a thread

Xue Tianhan tightly gripped the cold sword, the coldness of the sword spread from his palm to his whole body. He stared at the sharp blade in his hand, thinking to himself that the road ahead might be full of thorns and dangers.

The biting cold wind whistled past, as if sounding the prelude to the upcoming difficulties and dangers.

He slowly stood up, his movements tinged with fatigue and solemnity, and sheathed the Cold Light Sword. His gaze pierced through the thick fog, gazing deep into the ruins. An indescribable unease quietly grew within him, as if countless pairs of prying eyes were hidden in the darkness.

Everyone thought that the crisis had been temporarily resolved and was preparing to continue exploring the mystery of the chaotic space.

However, at this seemingly peaceful moment, a dull roar suddenly came from the bottom of the ruins, like the roar of an ancient beast, breaking the brief silence.

The sound, like rolling thunder, grew louder and louder, as if an irresistible force was awakening. The dull sound struck everyone's heart again and again, making people shudder. Everyone was instantly alert, and the air around them seemed to solidify.

Xiaobai also stood up, the golden dragon scales all over his body flashing with vigilance, and his dragon tail swayed unconsciously, and every swing seemed to be warning of the dangers around him.

Xiao Huang held the dog spirit stick tightly, his hair standing on end, like a cheetah ready to pounce.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently without warning, and dazzling purple rays of light shot out from the cracks in the ground, like the flames of hell, illuminating the entire ruins.

Immediately afterwards, five energy puppets broke out of the ground, and their appearance made the entire space tremble.

These five energy puppets were completely different from those encountered before. They towered like mountains, and every step they took made the earth tremble. Black electricity, thick as ink, surged wildly around them, emitting a chilling evil aura. Every surge of electricity seemed to rend the very fabric of space.

"Oh my God, are you going to let me live? Why are you here again?" Xiao Huang screamed in a hoarse voice. Although his body was exhausted from the previous battle and his legs were shaking slightly, he still forced himself to stand up, tightly grasping the dog spirit stick in his hand, with an unyielding light flashing in his eyes.

Xue Tianhan's face turned pale in an instant. He drew out the cold sword again, but his arm was sore from the previous battle.

He said in a deep voice: "Everyone be careful, these guys look far beyond our imagination." Although his voice was steady, it could not hide a hint of nervousness, which was the awe of unknown danger.

Xiaobai roared towards the sky, and the dragon roar echoed in the ruins for a long time, trying to intimidate these newly appeared energy puppets.

However, these puppets ignored Long Wei and brandished weapons condensed from dark energy. Every swing caused the surrounding air to whistle sharply, and they rushed straight towards the crowd.

Lady Green Snake quickly waved the Vermillion Bird fan, and a barrier of flames and wind blades appeared in front of everyone again.

But this time, the energy puppet's attack was extremely powerful. The black electric current rushed towards the barrier like a surging tide. The flames and wind blades were ruthlessly swallowed up the moment they came into contact, leaving no trace of residue.

Hu Meiniang waved the dragon bone whip, and the tip of the whip lashed towards the energy puppet with a sharp sound of wind, but the black electric current instantly turned into countless tentacles, tightly wrapping around the dragon bone whip, not only making Hu Meiniang unable to break free, but also constantly eroding her spiritual power. Hu Meiniang's face turned pale in an instant, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.

"Sister Mei, hold on, watch me!" Seeing this, Xiao Huang rushed forward at super fast speed and smashed the electric current wrapped around the dragon bone whip with his dog spirit stick.

However, its attack was like a stone falling on a stone. The dog spirit stick was tightly attracted by the black electric current. Xiao Huang was also blown back by a powerful force and hit the stone pillar beside him heavily, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

But it still refused to admit defeat and shouted, "Oh, what a thing! It's quite strong! Wait until I catch my breath, then I'll settle the score with you!"

Xue Tianhan unleashed his full might, the power of chaos erupting from his sword as he engaged an energy puppet in a fierce clash. Each collision ignited a dazzling burst of light, and the ground was cracked by the powerful force.

But the power of the energy puppet was too strong. Xue Tianhan gradually felt his arms go numb and his steps began to stagger. Every step seemed so difficult.

Xiaobai was dealing with the other two energy puppets. Its dragon claws kept grabbing at the puppets, but the shield formed by the black electric current was indestructible. Each attack could only cause an almost invisible ripple on the shield.

The energy puppet's counterattack was extremely fierce. Xiaobai had several burn marks from the electric current on his body, and the scorch marks on his scales were shocking.

The battle reached a stalemate, and everyone gradually felt powerless. Xue Tianhan realized that this could not continue. While resisting the energy puppets' violent attacks, he observed their weaknesses.

Finally, he discovered that the energy cores of these puppets seemed to be in their chests, and before each attack, the black electric currents on their bodies would converge towards their weapons.

"Everyone listen, attack their chests, that's their energy core!" Xue Tianhan shouted. His voice seemed a little weak amid the fierce battle, but it was like a ray of dawn, bringing a glimmer of hope to everyone.

"Chest? Okay, I'll smash a hole in its chest!" Xiao Huang endured the pain, took advantage of the gap when an energy puppet attacked, condensed spiritual power with the dragon gloves, and slammed it into its chest.

However, the energy puppet only trembled slightly, and the electric current on its body did not become chaotic, but became even more violent. It struck back and knocked Xiao Huang away again.

Xiao Huang drew an arc in the air, and after landing, he didn't forget to shout: "Hey, this guy is quite durable!"

Xiaobai also concentrated his strength and spit out a dragon flame containing powerful dragon power, hitting the chest of the energy puppet in front of him directly.

The dragon flame collided with the black electric current, making a deafening explosion. Perhaps only a very shallow scratch appeared on the chest of the puppet. The next moment, it swung its weapon and smashed it heavily at Xiaobai. Xiaobai couldn't dodge in time and was hit in the side, letting out a painful dragon roar.

Lady Green Snake and Hu Meiniang also cooperated tacitly. Lady Green Snake used the Vermillion Bird fan to stir up a powerful fire storm to interfere with the actions of the energy puppets, while Hu Meiniang took the opportunity to whip their chests with a dragon bone whip.

But the energy puppets remained unmoved. The black electric current instantly dissolved their attacks and approached them step by step. The two were forced into the corner of the ruins, with no way to retreat.

In front of the powerful energy puppet, everyone's resistance seemed so powerless.

Just when everyone's life was hanging by a thread, a dazzling white light pierced through the oppressive darkness in the ruins like lightning, and Xue Donglan's clone suddenly descended with this light.

She was dressed in a white robe as white as snow, her hair flowing in the wind. She exuded an otherworldly aura, like a goddess stepping down from the clouds above the nine heavens. Beside her, Xiaolong was radiating a mysterious blue light, his lively eyes filled with anxiety and determination.

"Sister Xue is here, we are saved now!" Xiao Huang shouted excitedly, completely ignoring the pain in his body.

"Junior brother, don't be afraid, senior sister is here!" The voice of Xue Donglan's clone was crisp and pleasant, but it echoed with a majestic momentum in the ruins, instantly dispelling the haze in everyone's hearts.

Before everyone could react, Xue Donglan's clone casually waved her jade hand, and a white sword energy containing the power to destroy the world roared out, aiming directly at an energy puppet.

The sword energy was as fast as lightning, and wherever it passed, the space seemed to be torn into tiny cracks.

The energy puppet seemed to sense the fatal threat, and black electric currents surged wildly around its body, trying to gather defense.

However, its struggle seemed powerless before Xue Donglan's clone's attack. The sword energy penetrated the energy puppet's body without hindrance. In an instant, the energy puppet exploded like a detonated bomb, transforming into countless black energy fragments that dissipated into the air.

This scene stunned everyone present, including the other energy puppets. They had clearly not expected such a powerful opponent to suddenly appear, and their attacks froze.

Xue Donglan's clone's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he attacked continuously. Three sword energies were like dragons emerging from the sea, instantly turning the three energy puppets into nothing.

In the blink of an eye, only the last one was left out of the five powerful energy puppets that were originally so aggressive.

Seeing this, Xiaolong's eyes flashed with excitement and anticipation. He had long been eager to prove his strength.

This last energy puppet seemed to have sensed the crisis as well. It let out a low roar, and the black electric current around it rushed towards the little dragon frantically like surging waves.

The little dragon raised its small head, opened its mouth, and spewed out streams of cold blue air.

Wherever the cold air went, the air instantly condensed into ice, and a thick layer of ice quickly spread on the ground.

The energy puppet's feet were trapped by the ice, and its movements became slow. The black electric current on its body flickered in the extremely cold temperature.

Taking advantage of the energy puppet's impeded movement, Xiaolong suddenly accelerated, like a blue meteor, and slammed his body into the puppet's legs. The puppet's legs were instantly frozen by the cold air, and it stumbled and almost fell.

The energy puppet became enraged and swung the weapon made of dark energy in its hand, smashing it hard at Xiaolong.

Xiaolong dodged the attack nimbly and easily, then sprayed out cold air again, this time directly at the energy core of the energy puppet.

The core of the energy puppet was corroded by the cold air, emitting a sharp buzzing sound, and the black electric current on its body began to become disordered.

Xiaolong seized the opportunity, gathered all his strength, and crashed into the core part of the energy puppet.

With a loud bang, cracks appeared in the core of the energy puppet, and finally it shattered. This last energy puppet also turned into a ball of dissipated energy.

Everyone gathered around and looked at the unharmed little dragon with admiration in their eyes.

Xue Tianhan looked at Xue Donglan's clone and Xiaolong with gratitude: "Senior Sister, this time thanks to you, otherwise we would have..."

"That's right, Sister Xue is so awesome, she's our savior!" Xiao Huang echoed from the side and rubbed Xiao Long affectionately.

Xue Donglan's clone smiled faintly. "I'm glad everyone's okay. This chaotic space has been in turmoil again recently. The dangers inside are far beyond imagination. You guys wait here for a while, or continue exploring this ruins. I'll go check it out for you."
