Chapter 477 - 215: Flesh Puppet

Chapter 477: Chapter 215: Flesh Puppet

...It was Yue Shan!

Yue Shan was wreathed in the True Gang of his Kunyuan Nature. This True Gang was far more condensed than True Essence, like a tangible, ever-shifting suit of battle armor.

But his expression was grim.

Because that one punch had only managed to push his opponent back. It hadn’t injured it in the slightest.

The next moment, the giant Flesh Puppet charged again with incredible speed.

Yue Shan met its attack head-on, and the clash resounded like rolling thunder.

The giant Flesh Puppet was over fifty feet tall, its frame far larger than Yue Shan’s.

Yet with every move Yue Shan made, giant fists and feet materialized from his True Gang. Coupled with his Kunyuan Nature, which was as heavy and solid as a mountain, he fought the Flesh Puppet on even terms.

Even Qin Fang frowned, his eyes instinctively drawn to the battle high in the sky.

But just then...

"ARGH!"

A pained scream rang out.

Startled, Qin Fang whipped his head around, only to see the giant Flesh Puppet—the one Yue Shan had been suppressing—beginning to rampage.

Its body was covered in grievous wounds, clearly inflicted by Yue Shan.

But injuries like these seemed to have no effect on the Flesh Puppet whatsoever.

And now, with Yue Shan gone, the giant Flesh Puppet was like a tiger loosed in a flock of sheep, and it began to slaughter the disciples of the Luzhan Lineage.

...Not a single disciple could withstand one of its blows!

One disciple, a cultivator at the True Essence Third Realm who had clearly also practiced the Body Protection Leaf Skill, managed to step forward.

But with a single slap, the True Essence protecting his body shattered, and he was sent flying, coughing up blood.

Seeing this, the large group of Cultists behind the monster got a fanatical gleam in their eyes. They began to drone their strange prayers once more, and the fighting Cultists and Flesh Puppets became frenzied, launching a counteroffensive.

The disciples of the Luzhan Lineage were forced back step by step.

They were even in danger of being encircled by the Cultists.

Qin Fang’s gaze hardened. Without a moment’s hesitation, he flew over. Just as the giant Flesh Puppet was running rampant, a volley of stones infused with Profound Nether True Essence suddenly struck it.

These stones couldn’t even injure the smaller, ten-foot-tall Flesh Puppets, let alone this one that stood over fifty feet tall.

It was like throwing an egg against a stone; they simply disintegrated into dust on impact!

But after they shattered, Ice Crystals appeared!

The Flesh Puppet roared, shattering the Ice Crystals with a twitch of its body.

But immediately after, new Ice Crystals grew right where the old ones had shattered...

’It’s working!’

Qin Fang’s gaze sharpened. He stomped his foot, shattering the ground and using a deft application of Strength to kick stones up from the earth. Grabbing a handful, he immediately infused them with his power.

’This Flesh Puppet is clearly stronger than the others,’ Qin Fang thought. ’I’ll have to use a massive amount of True Essence and see if I can freeze it solid with the properties of my Profound Nether Nature!’

WHIZ! WHIZ! WHIZ!

A barrage of stones carrying Profound Nether True Essence bombarded the Flesh Puppet.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! They shattered on impact.

And as they shattered, large patches of Ice Crystals began to grow furiously.

This scene naturally drew the attention of all the disciples. They whipped their heads around to see Qin Fang, frantically flinging stones from both hands.

"It’s Senior Brother Qin!"

"Senior Brother Qin is trying to freeze the monster with his Profound Nether Nature!"

"Damn it, other Flesh Puppets are trying to interfere! Quick, protect Senior Brother Qin!"

More Flesh Puppets from the surrounding area broke off and charged straight for Qin Fang.

Seeing Qin Fang attacking the giant Flesh Puppet, the disciples automatically began to gather around him, intercepting the other Flesh Puppets that were rushing him.

A glint appeared in Qin Fang’s eyes as he watched the disciples immediately engage the other Flesh Puppets, coordinating with each other to keep them from getting close.

He took a deep breath and began to unleash his full power.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

Stones infused with Profound Nether True Essence pelted the giant Flesh Puppet. With a furious roar, it charged straight for Qin Fang.

Qin Fang focused his mind, immediately entering a state of Contemplation.

Instantly, his mind became perfectly clear!

’My Divine Sense... it seems stronger than that of an ordinary Martial Artist.’

During his seclusion on Old Ox Back, his Divine Sense had inexplicably skyrocketed to a range of about a hundred meters.

But after a casual chat with Senior Sister Wen, he learned that under normal circumstances, a Martial Artist’s Divine Sense wasn’t nearly this powerful.

Without specifically training in a Spiritual Sense Leaf Skill, the Divine Sense of most Martial Artists would remain at the initial Divine Gate level.

In other words, a range of ten meters.

But after he absorbed the Ultimate Yin Primordial Power from seventy meters away for the first time, and after being frozen for half a year, his Divine Sense had inexplicably expanded to a one-hundred-meter range!

...More than ten times greater than that of an Ordinary Martial Artist.

Qin Fang had no idea why this mysterious change had occurred.

But it was clearly a good thing.

Because now, when faced with the giant Flesh Puppet’s Spiritual Attack, Qin Fang entered his state of Contemplation and instantly resisted it completely, feeling no discomfort whatsoever.

Moreover, he could now see through the Flesh Puppet’s movements with even greater clarity. His stones flew faster and truer!

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

More and more stones shattered against its body.

The Flesh Puppet tried to break through the crowd to attack Qin Fang.

But the Luzhan Lineage disciples at the front resisted with their lives.

Disciples at the True Essence Third Realm, and even some at the Fourth Realm who had condensed True Gang, fought back without any fear of death, some even using their own bodies to block its advance.

As a result, the Flesh Puppet shattered their Body Protection Leaf Skills, sending them flying back into the formation, vomiting blood.

...These were all disciples of the Luzhan Lineage.

’As expected of them... utterly ferocious and unafraid of death!’

Thanks to the ferocity of these disciples, Qin Fang was bought a great deal of time.

Ice Crystals began to grow ceaselessly on the giant Flesh Puppet’s joints.

Frost even began to creep across the ground.

The monster’s movements grew increasingly sluggish.

But this only made the attacking Cultists more frantic as they charged toward Qin Fang.

The fighting grew more and more intense.

Flashes of light from all kinds of True Essence flared brilliantly.

Blood, severed limbs, agonized screams, the chanting of the Cultists...

All these sounds mingled together.

They echoed across Jiulian Island.

Qin Fang’s face had also grown slightly pale... He was only at the True Essence Second Realm. Even if his True Essence recovered far faster than someone at the First Realm, it was still a finite resource.

After he had flung an unknown number of stones, the giant Flesh Puppet’s massive body was finally, completely covered in thick layers of solid ice.

Its movements grew more and more Slow until, at last, it was frozen completely solid.
