Chapter 3922: Puppet Warriors, Twelve Heavenly Immortals

Yuanci Water Mansion.Compared to the color-changing Deputy City Lord Wu and the towering Falcon King Wei Shou, a group of Shenxu Realm cultivators couldn't help but curse in their hearts. Inside this..."This current chaos is truly unpredictable." Lu Xiaotian sighed. Plans couldn't keep up with changes. At this moment, several strands of cold sword energy came slashing over. Lu Xiaotian could only passively parry them. In the distance, the celestial army was engaged in a fierce battle with a massive army of cloud sand golems. Lu Xiaotian felt a chill run down his spine just watching it. It wasn't that he couldn't survive in this chaotic situation, but within the military formation, the slightest misstep would force him to use other means. Under everyone's watchful eyes, there were bound to be some uncontrollable factors.

In comparison, these eighteen puppet warriors were not as dangerous to Lu Xiaotian as the battle with the twelve human celestial immortals. As long as he prevented both sides from successfully forming a battle formation, he would be fine. Facing several slashing sword energies, Lu Xiaotian reached out and summoned Yingfeng's Dragon Soldier. Whoosh whoosh whoosh, several gun shadows shot out, pushing Lu Xiaotian's comprehension of the Lei Shun Art to its limits.

Buzz... The shadow of the gun was directly scattered by the blade light. Lu Xiaoteng narrowed his eyes slightly, worthy of being the puppet warrior refined by the Emperor Qinling. Compared to the golden man eighteen in the Lingxu Secret Realm before, it's one in heaven and one on earth.

The three sword glows that slashed out all contained the profound mysteries of the earth element. The profundity within was clearly stronger than the Lei Shun奧義 that Lu Xiaotiao had just grasped, and even though Lu Xiaotiao had grasped the Lei Shun奧義 up to this point, his application of this power was not particularly outstanding. The power of the law contained within those three sword glows was not so strong that Lu Xiaotiao couldn't bear it, but the power of the law inside was more tricky and smooth than Lu Xiaotiao's clumsiness, naturally shattering him with one strike.

Lu Xia Tian flashed in the void, several blades of sword energy successively slashed at the place where Lu Xia Tian had just stood. Lu Xia Tian was about to flee to another location, these blades of sword energy seemed to have a pulling force on them. They did not directly restrain Lu Xia Tian's speed, but rather guided those blades of sword energy as if they were leading the way. As soon as Lu Xia Tian steadied his body, the blades of sword energy that had not dissipated followed closely behind.

However, with Lu Xia Tian's sharp eyes, he could see that these blades of sword energy had been weakened by his initial strike and were not completely unscathed. Though they were less potent than those cultivated by him, the laws and principles within these blades of sword energy were more difficult to deal with. This resulted in Lu Xia Tian expending more dragon essence from his previous few shots.

By igniting the Dragon Essence within him, activating the power of his Dragon Spear, he could naturally eradicate those slashes completely. However, this would result in a doubled consumption of Dragon Essence. Even the power of the Laws required Dragon Essence as its foundation. Once his internal Dragon Essence was depleted, even with divine abilities or an understanding of the Laws, it would be like drawing water from a dry well.

Fortunately, at this time, the main energy of the eighteen puppet warriors was being absorbed by twelve human celestial immortals. These twelve human celestial immortals did not look ordinary either; each had a dazzlingly colorful star bead on their foreheads. The power within these star beads was immense, and it flowed between them and these human celestial immortals. At the same time, there was a subtle connection between each human celestial immortal, even if they couldn't form a battle formation at this moment, there was a mysterious connection between them. If the opponent wasn't these eighteen puppet warriors, even if Lu Xia Tian were here now, it would be impossible to break their formation.

However, in the case of this already swung blade aura without any subsequent attacks, Lu Xiaitian's divine sense enveloped the past, but he found that he could forcefully deduce the trajectory of power fluctuations within several of the blade auras using his primordial spirit. That is to say, the influence and application of law power on the immortal essence within them.

Lu Xia Tian fired again, his gun shadows stabbing out one after another, striking the leading blade glow. Though still sharp, his judgement was accurate. However, Lu Xia Tian had anticipated this, using his primordial spirit to forcefully deduce the fluctuation of power within the blade glow's laws. This crude method could significantly reduce the consumption of dragon essence within him, but the drain on his spiritual consciousness was far beyond what ordinary celestial immortals could bear. For normal celestial immortals, this expenditure was even more unacceptable than the consumption of immortal essence.

But Lu Xiaotian was not able to deduce the true meaning behind the Law's principles, he merely strained to calculate the movement patterns within. And even with Lu Xiaotian expending a great deal of his soul energy, it wasn't a guaranteed one-hit kill. The spear shadow he thrust vibrated twice in succession before finally striking the vital point within the blade light, shattering the incoming attack.

“Although this method is a bit clumsy, it's still a way to get things done.” Lu couldn't help but chuckle wryly in his heart. Being suppressed by the other party's law power and with his own realm not enough, he could only rely on the strength of his primordial spirit to take this shortcut. Even so, Lu Xiaoteng couldn't simultaneously face too many attacks.

Seeing Lu Xia Tian effortlessly shatter the three sword beams with divine assistance, the twelve human race celestial immortals were greatly astonished. They couldn't see the profound secret behind Lu Xia Tian's actions. It seemed that his attack was ordinary and unremarkable, and there wasn't much law power contained within the gun shadow. Yet, in this way, Lu Xia Tian still managed to defeat those sword beams, leaving them in disbelief.

"Fellow Dragon Clan cultivator, if you can help us hold off one of the puppet warriors, we'll be able to turn the tide." Those twelve Heavenly Immortals from the Human Race saw that Lu Xia Tian could actually play a part, so naturally, they placed a good deal of hope in him.

As long as Lu Xia Tian could hold back one of the puppet soldiers, they might be able to regroup sooner and injure or destroy one or two before the puppets could react. With this kind of balance broken, the situation would immediately shift.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. If you come at me with a few more attacks like that, I wouldn't be able to withstand them." Lu Xia Tian chuckled wryly, naturally not wanting to take the blame for this. Even though he knew he couldn't break free from the vortex in front of him, he still tried his best to reduce the pressure on himself as much as possible.

“Right now, hundreds or even thousands of immortal soldiers die every moment. There's no room for hesitation. Even we might not escape this calamity. Even if we die, we must help break this formation.” One stern-faced middle-aged man, after repelling a puppet soldier with his spear, shouted fiercely.

“I will do my best, of course. If I can break the current deadlock, it would be best.” Lu Xia Tian frowned slightly, but at this time, the battlefield where the Immortal Army and the Cloud Sand Warrior were fighting was constantly moving towards him. He couldn't avoid it completely. Even though he saw the annoyance in the other party’s heart, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he couldn't easily eliminate all the threats before him. For now, he could only endure a little, unable to be as quick and vengeful as when he killed Tong Xu before.”f this Soul-Forging Elixir was, to date, the highest level elixir Lu Xiaotian had ever refined. He couldn't afford even a slight mistake. However, apart from carefully analyzing the spiritual energy...
