Chapter 618: Five-Element Qi
WanEr HuLie’s body and head went lower and lower as he got pummeled by the Natal Puppet.
The flesh on his head tried to regenerate and grow back but it was ripped off by the Natal Puppet’s fists as soon as it did.
Slowly, with lesser and lesser Spirit Qi in him, WanEr HuLie couldn’t sustain the regeneration any more.
And his eyelids became heavier and heavier with every passing moment.
Dang.
With the monotonous sound of the metallic ring from the Natal Puppet’s fist, WanEr HuLie finally succumbed to the serious wounds on his head.
He fell forward and dropped to the ground, lying there motionlessly.
The Natal Puppet didn’t stop and it turned back towards Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng’s eyes widened at the swift death of WanEr HuLie.
WanEr HuLie was at Core Formation like he was and it wasn’t so easy to kill someone at that level.
Having sparred with him, Xiao Feng knew how good WanEr HuLie was.
And yet, the Natal Puppet was able to do so easily.
He didn’t hesitate and directed his Spirit Qi into the Eternal Sword Spirit Statue.
When he saw the Natal Puppet bend its knees, he got ready.
Boom.
The Natal Puppet lunged at him and he thrust his sword forward.
A huge glowing sword appeared and shot out from the tip of his sword.
The Natal Puppet was in mid-flight when it happened so it crossed its arms in front of its body.
Then, its dantian gave out a bright glow and a glowing sphere came out from it.
The glowing sphere became larger until it engulfed the body of the Natal Puppet within an instant.
Just in time to protect the Natal Puppet from Xiao Feng’s attack.
Dang!
When the glowing sword from Xiao Feng hit the glowing sphere, a loud metallic ring erupted in the air.
Xiao Feng frowned when he saw that the sword he had unleashed wasn’t able to get through the glowing sphere.
Cracks appeared all over the glowing sword instead.
And within a moment later, the glowing sword cracked into many pieces before they dissipated into thin air.
"What the hell is this?!" Xiao Feng cursed and he tried to muster whatever Spirit Qi he had left to protect himself from what was coming next.
The Natal Puppet, with the glowing sphere gone, continued on its trajectory and got closer to him.
It pulled back its arm and punched out at Xiao Feng’s head.
Xiao Feng sidestepped to his right, dodging the fireball unleashed by the fist of the Natal Puppet, and he thrust his sword at the body of the Natal Puppet at the same time.
The twirling wind shot out at the body of the Natal Puppet but it didn’t do much to it.
Other than making the Natal Puppet move a step back, it didn’t even leave a mark on the dark metal of the Natal Puppet.
Thud.
Xiao Feng was about to get away from the Natal Puppet before he felt a huge force hitting the back of his head.
There was someone else behind him!
He shook his head vigorously to try and stay conscious.
His arm swung around, brandishing his sword to the back while he did so.
But whoever it was, wasn’t there anymore.
Xiao Feng tried to sense his surroundings but the Natal Puppet came at him again.
This time, the Natal Puppet landed a punch onto Xiao Feng’s waist.
Thud.
The impact from the Natal Puppet’s punch stirred the innards of Xiao Feng, causing huge pain.
"Argh!" Xiao Feng gave out a cry of pain.
It was, however, not over for him.
Dang!
Someone hit the back of his head again and this time, the blow made him stagger a few steps forward, where the Natal Puppet was waiting for him.
The Natal Puppet pulled back its arms and it began to rain down punches onto Xiao Feng’s head like what it had done earlier to WanEr HuLie.
Splatter.
With every fist that landed onto his head, chunks of skin, flesh, and bones splattered into the surroundings.
Xiao Feng knew that he would die like WanEr HuLie soon if things didn’t change.
But he was already out of any other options.
He didn’t have much Spirit Qi left to even unleash another twirling wind strike at the Natal Puppet, and there was that mysterious man lurking around, waiting to pounce on him at any moment.
There was only one option left for him...
"Stop... Stop... I can... tell... you whatever... you want to know...." He pleaded as a last resort.
A gust of wind came at his face and the fist of the Natal Puppet stopped in front of his eyes.
It worked.
Xiao Feng slowly slumped onto the ground and he gasped for air.
A man’s low, coarse voice could be heard behind him.
"What are the Qing Feng Sect trying to do?" The low, coarse voice asked.
Xiao Feng inhaled a lungful of air and said, "We are... We are helping the Da Qian Dynasty."
"Helping the Da Qian Dynasty? By killing off so many cultivators?" Lin Xuan Qi couldn’t believe what he had heard from Xiao Feng and said with disdain.
"Hmph... That’s the truth." Xiao Feng coughed out a mouthful of blood and said, "There wouldn’t be much Spirit Stones left in Da Qian Dynasty soon and we would be able to protect the Da Qian Dynasty better if there weren’t so many cultivators competing for the Spirit Stones...
"You have no idea what’s about to come..."
His hand slowly moved towards his shirt while he talked.
Although what Xiao Feng said intrigued him, Lin Xuan Qi had his Spiritual Sense locked onto Xiao Feng and every movement of Xiao Feng couldn’t escape his attention.
It was time to end it before Xiao Feng called for backup.
Especially if it was summoning Zhao Geng Nian.
He would rather fight against Zhao Geng Nian when he was at Nascent Soul Level.
Lin Xuan Qi swung his hammers to his back before he swung them at Xiao Feng’s head from behind.
Xiao Feng felt the gust of wind even before the hammers came close.
