System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Despite being thousands of miles apart, Chen Xuan immediately took out the Jade Dragon Slash, activated the true meaning of the Great Dao of Sword, and unleashed a fierce sword strike from afar.

"cut!"

The Great Dao of the Sword, manifested through extraordinary swordsmanship, possesses terrifying power and speed. In the blink of an eye, this sword beam arrived beside the four Gu puppets like a howling wind.

"What? The aura of the Great Dao?"

"Go back!"

Gu Yingying, being the Holy Maiden, was the first to react. However, by the time she recognized that the sword contained the true meaning of the Great Dao, it was too late to control the four Earth-rank Gu puppets to retreat.

Wherever the sword light of the Great Dao's True Intent passed, it was like a devastating blow. The sword light directly swept past the bodies of the four Gu puppets; the destructive power of the Great Dao's True Intent was no joke.

The moment the sword light swept across the bodies of these strange Gu puppets, the sword intent of the Great Dao erupted and surged forth within their flesh.

bang bang bang-

With just one sword strike, the four of them working together easily suppressed the Earth-rank Gu Puppet that had been cleaved in two, instantly turning it into ashes and dissipating into the air.

"You dare to attack my Daoist partner? You're courting death!"

Such astonishing sword light power instantly destroyed the Earth-rank Gu puppet. Gu Yingying had not yet recovered from the shock when she saw a cold and handsome young man with long white hair and wearing a black robe appear in front of Zhan Xin.

Without saying a word, the man waved his hand and put the unconscious Zhanxin into his magic weapon.

"My...my Earth-rank Gu Puppet, you actually destroyed it!" At this moment, facing the terrifyingly powerful Chen Xuan, Gu Yingying was no longer the arrogant and composed woman she had been when facing Zhan Xin. Her expression was solemn, and her eyes were fixed on Chen Xuan.

"I see that your divine body and blood are as surging as a river, you must be a first-class divine body. That's right, I, the Holy Maiden, have long wanted to replace those four Gu puppets, and now I have finally found the most satisfactory one."

Chen Xuan looked at the seemingly deranged girl in black before him and said coldly, "Why did you attack my Daoist partner? Who exactly are you?"

"Hee hee hee--"

Faced with Chen Xuan's questioning, Gu Yingying did not answer. Instead, she slightly hunched her petite body, her trembling slightly. Just as Chen Xuan was about to draw his sword and kill her, the girl suddenly grabbed the black clothes at her chest with both hands and pulled them forcefully to both sides.

With a "rip," the black robe was torn open at the chest. Chen Xuan instinctively wanted to turn his head away to avoid the scene attracting the attention of the censors, but in the instant he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of the girl's appearance after she tore open her black clothes.

Immediately, Chen Xuan couldn't help but swear: "Fuck you!"

It turned out that the part of the girl in black above her neck looked normal, but the part below her neck, which was tightly covered by black clothes, was riddled with holes, like a piece of old cured meat that had been pickled for a thousand years and was rotten beyond repair.

Just as Chen Xuan was stunned and bewildered, he saw the girl's five fingers instantly transform into sharp blades, slicing open her heart. Immediately afterward, a tiny black figure, about the size of a thumb and crawling with all sorts of disgusting insects, slowly floated out from the location of her heart.

"Senior brother, I'm sorry for bothering you again. It's my fault, but I really like this Gu puppet embryo, so I have no choice but to ask you to come out."

The small, black figure, emanating an aura of death, rapidly grew larger after detaching from the girl's heart, instantly transforming into a body clad in black robes covered in sinister runes. This person's skin was jet black, and a malevolent, nauseating aura emanated from them.

When Chen Xuan saw the girl offer up this evil corpse, her eyes were full of love, and she even whispered to the corpse, showing a coquettish manner.

"This...this wouldn't be your Daoist partner, would it?"

Chen Xuan put down his fingers, which were forming a hand seal, and looked at the girl who had straightened her clothes in shock.

“He is not only my childhood sweetheart who has known me since I was a child, but also my senior brother who entered the Dao with me, and my only Daoist partner in this life.” The girl gazed affectionately at her “Daoist partner” beside her, her eyes revealing a hint of attachment, and said, “Senior brother, I want his body, please get it for me.”

"You love him and keep him in your heart, you fucking did it." Chen Xuan looked at the girl in black and said in utter shock.
