Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

"A second-tier demonic beast... no, a puppet!"

Xu Yun looked at the azure eagle high in the sky with a solemn expression, but soon sensed something was wrong.

The azure eagle lacked the vitality of any living creature, and its body was riddled with signs of mechanisms. Although it looked lifelike, Xu Yun's divine sense quickly uncovered its secrets.

Even so, this second-tier puppet still made Xu Yun feel like he was facing a formidable enemy, because its power was comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, which instantly increased Long Yueming's threat level many times over.

"Damn it, I was careful enough, but I still fell short."

Xu Yun's expression was slightly somber. Back when Long Yueming was entangled with him, he had secretly ordered Tianlin Daoist to launch a sneak attack from behind and deliver a fatal blow to the other party.

Logically, it should have been easy to succeed, but Long Yueming reacted quickly and summoned the second-tier puppet for self-defense.

However, in Xu Yun's perception, Long Yueming's face seemed much paler than before, and his breathing was also somewhat unstable, obviously he was also greatly affected when he summoned this second-tier puppet.

"My Lord..."

At the same time, Daoist Tianlin stood ready and looked at Xu Yun as if he wanted to say something.

However, Xu Yun had already seen through the other party's meaning. He raised his hand and said coldly, "Although it is a second-tier puppet, the controller is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he was injured earlier. We still have a chance."

Xu Yun naturally had some knowledge of puppets, especially since there were one or two puppeteers among his banner spirits. With the help of his divine sense, he immediately made a judgment.

Although the second-tier puppet is incredibly powerful, its effectiveness depends on the skill of the controller. A mere ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator simply cannot fully unleash the puppet's power.

That's why Xu Yun didn't immediately flee when he saw the other party take out a second-tier puppet. It wasn't just because of the initial saint mission and Lin Zuibai's trust, but also because he was quite confident that he could take down the other party.

"superior!"

At Xu Yun's command, he immediately ordered Tianlin Daoist to step forward and capture the second-tier puppet and Long Yueming on its back.

Daoist Tianlin immediately bowed respectfully. As the banner spirit, he would never disobey his master's wishes. He immediately rode a streak of light and rushed straight towards the second-tier puppet.

At the same time, Daoist Tianlin unleashed the aura of the Foundation Establishment stage, his entire body radiating a chilling, demonic energy, as if a vengeful ghost were howling.

During this time, in addition to collecting the resources he needed, Xu Yun also made sure to gather rare and precious materials that would benefit Daoist Tianlin.

Although the number was small, it added up, and now Tianlin Daoist has recovered 30-40% of his combat power.

He had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment back then, and now he had recovered 30-40% of his strength, clearly reaching the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage, enough to fight against a second-tier puppet.

"Damn it, how could this happen?!"

Meanwhile, Long Yueming, perched on the back of the second-tier Fierce Eagle Puppet, gritted his teeth, his face extremely grim.

He originally thought that destroying the Biyun Lin family would be a piece of cake, but he never expected that so many unexpected things would happen on the way.

To his surprise, a Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator had his eye on him, causing him to expend even more mana to summon a second-tier Fiery Eagle Puppet before he could react. This was supposed to be his trump card, meant to deliver a fatal blow by surprise.

But I never expected it would be used on this kind of ground.

Just how deep is the water in the Biyunlin family's water?

"Our top priority is to leave this place as soon as possible, and ideally, report back to the major powers while we're safe!"

Although it was unexpected and even frightened Long Yueming, his years of fighting to the death gradually calmed him down, and he realized that this was an opportunity.

It should be noted that those Core Formation cultivators who opened up this wasteland were from the righteous path, and their only reaction to those from the demonic path was to kill.

If he could report this sudden Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator to those major powers, and involve the Biyun Lin family as much as possible, he might be able to devour them without bloodshed.

Because of his discovery of the demonic cultivators and his reporting of this information, the Tianmanglong family might even have the opportunity to be directly incorporated into the ranks of those powerful forces, and he himself could gain more benefits.

In the blink of an eye, Long Yueming made a decision and immediately set up his magic spell, controlling the second-tier Fiery Eagle Puppet to fly away into the distance.

"I am not in good condition right now, and the other party is a genuine Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator. If we encounter him, we will definitely have a hard time escaping, and there is even a risk of death and annihilation."

Clearly, after years of fighting to the death, Long Yueming had long since developed a keen intuition, and would immediately choose to flee when things were not going his way.

Although he could control a second-tier puppet to take down the cultivator who was in cahoots with the Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator, it wasn't a sure thing.

After all, people of the demonic path are best at swindling and deceiving. Even if I capture that cultivator to threaten him, that Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator probably won't even bother to acknowledge him.

"Hmph, trying to run away?"

The moment he saw the azure eagle puppet flap its metal wings and take flight, Daoist Tianlin immediately knew the other party's plan.

He immediately snorted coldly, held the incantation firmly, and his demonic energy surged around him, rapidly spreading out and gradually covering the area.

This demonic energy was incredibly viscous, like surging black water, and instantly enveloped the cyan falcon puppet, attempting to entangle it.

Screech—

A loud cry rang out, and the azure eagle frantically flapped its metal wings, creating wind blades as it roared out.

These wind blades ripped through the sky, leaving only a few flashes of blue light before instantly shattering the spreading black water into droplets that fell into the air.

However, Daoist Tianlin remained unfazed. His hand seals changed once more, and the black particles suddenly began to transform as they passed by the second-tier azure eagle puppet, instantly condensing into long, tough black ropes, resembling ferocious black snakes.

Swish-

The ferocious black snakes hissed as they emerged, quickly coiling around the second-tier puppet, enveloping its body inch by inch and sealing its movements.

In an instant, Long Yueming's expression changed drastically. He kept manipulating the second-tier cyan eagle puppet, trying to break free from the blockade, but he couldn't.

Even though Tianlin Daoist's strength is only 30% or 40% of what it used to be, his experience and ability in combat will not disappear. On the contrary, they will become more profound with the passage of time.

"Damn it, if that's the case..."

Seeing that Daoist Tianlin was about to attack again, Long Yueming made up her mind, bit her tongue fiercely, and forced out all the essence and blood in her body to inject into the second-tier puppet under her feet.

Boo!

After being activated by the essence blood, the second-tier Fiery Eagle Puppet let out a long cry, its whole body bursting with fierce blue light, carrying an extremely sharp aura, and fiercely roared in all directions.

In an instant, a flash of azure light appeared, and the several black snakes that had been sealing its body suddenly shattered, leaving not a trace behind, and were completely annihilated.

"Walk!"

Long Yueming was panting heavily, his face growing paler, but he managed to steady himself, holding his incantation firmly, and tried to control the second-tier puppet to escape.

buzz-

At this critical moment, suddenly, an invisible needle, brimming with deadly intent, pierced towards Long Yueming.

A terrifying needle!
