The Soul-Seizing Blood Crossbow was a Senior Dan Artifact that Qian Duoduo refined from memory after he produced the chess instrument.
If it hit a target, it would automatically explode, dealing damage to the Soul and causing a one-second stun.
This one shot also consumed a quarter of Qian Duoduo's Spiritual Qi, making his limbs go soft. He quickly took a Qi Return Pill.
If he hadn't advanced to Foundation Establishment, he would have collapsed immediately after firing that shot.
When Yu Renjie discovered the Soul-Seizing Blood Crossbow, the crossbow bolt was already close to hitting the windmill.
He let out a cry for help while desperately urging the windmill to dodge to the side.
Just then, the little girl pinched her fingers, and the Soul-Seizing Blood Crossbow could no longer fly an inch further.
The Soul-Seizing Blood Crossbow immediately exploded. The windmill was violently pushed by the force generated by the explosion, swaying and falling to the ground.
After one breath, it stood up again.
"What a pity," Liang Liying sighed.
"You, you, you..." Yu Renjie looked at Qian Duoduo with resentment.
He retreated dozens of zhang, then looked fearfully at the little girl, and flew forward another ten zhang or so.
His hatred for Qian Duoduo had reached its peak.
If Qian Duoduo hadn't severely injured him, he wouldn't have been captured by the little girl, nor would he have betrayed the Shengling Sect.
This was more painful than killing him.
But, who told him to become an enemy of Qian Duoduo and make the first move against him?
The little girl gently lifted the rag doll, and the rag doll spun the rattle drum in its hand.
The rattle drum made a few soft sounds, but to Yu Renjie's ears, they were like thunder.
His face changed drastically. He puffed out a large breath and blew forward with all his might.
The windmill spun rapidly, and a black whirlwind rose from the ground, circling Turtle Mountain once.
The Sha Souls re-formed their ranks and charged up the mountain.
Yu Renjie hid and followed behind a Spiritual Elephant, slowly climbing up the mountain.
His wretched appearance was exactly like that of a humanoid Sha Soul.
A powerful superior inevitably breeds wretched subordinates.
"Senior Brother Bu Huan, give me the crossbow," Zhao Haonan shouted to Qian Duoduo.
Qian Duoduo understood, throwing the Soul-Seizing Blood Crossbow to Zeng Ruohai. Zeng Ruohai then threw it to Zhao Haonan.
From Zhao Haonan's angle, he could see Yu Renjie!
Yu Renjie was on guard against Qian Duoduo, but he couldn't guard against Zhao Haonan.
Layer after layer, group after group of Sha Souls slowly pushed their way up towards the mountain peak.
They truly had to thank this steep Turtle Mountain.
If it weren't for it, Qian Duoduo and the others would have been submerged by the Sha Souls long ago.
Liang Liying occasionally shot an arrow towards Yu Renjie's direction.
A few of her Wind Arrows hit the Spiritual Elephant's body.
The Spiritual Elephant paid no mind, continuing to charge steadily upwards with the arrows embedded in it.
At this moment, Dugu Yunshan took out the God-Slaying Giant Crossbow from his Storage Pouch.
Qian Duoduo immediately raised his left hand, signaling to Zhao Haonan.
Zhao Haonan saw Qian Duoduo raise his hand and nodded.
Dugu Yunshan aimed the God-Slaying Giant Crossbow at the Spiritual Elephant and softly said, "Alright."
Qian Duoduo waved his hand downwards.
"Buzz!"
Two crossbow bolts shot out simultaneously.
Yu Renjie was stunned. By the time he realized that one crossbow bolt was coming from Turtle Back and another from Turtle Pit, it was too late.
Dugu Yunshan's giant crossbow flung the Spiritual Elephant into the air.
And Zhao Haonan's crossbow bolt hit one of the windmill's blades.
"Ah—"
Yu Renjie cried out in pain, his fate unknown.
The windmill rolled continuously down the mountain slope, falling into the group of Sha Souls at the foot of the mountain.
And the Spiritual Elephant that was flung up crashed down, crushing a large number of Sha Souls.
The Sha Souls on the mountain slope were in chaos again.
"Useless!"
The little girl cursed softly, throwing the rag doll in her hand to the ground.
The rag doll landed on the ground and continuously grew larger, stopping only when it reached over one zhang in height.
The rag doll turned its head, and Shikong Lin's rough face smiled fawningly at the little girl.
This smile sent shivers down the spines of everyone on the mountain.
This smile was a forced smile, a humble smile that had to be painted on after experiencing countless pains.
And the stark contrast between the rag doll's body and Shikong Lin's face was also bone-chilling.
Shikong Lin shook the rattle drum in his hand.
"Thump-thump, thump-thump-thump."
The drumbeats resonated throughout Turtle Mountain, above and below.
With the drumbeats, invisible sound waves spread out in all directions.
The drumbeats felt as if they were striking one's heart.
Gradually, the footsteps of the Sha Beasts and the wings of the Sha Birds synchronized with the drumbeats, moving and flapping to a single rhythm.
The rag doll took a step forward, striking the rattle drum as it waved forward.
The Sha Beasts and Sha Birds charged forward together with the drumbeats, their Aura much stronger than when Yu Renjie was commanding them.
The Spiritual Dogs and Spiritual Foxes no longer followed behind the Ling Rats, but instead rushed to the front, charging forward with all their might.
Their eyes revealed complete madness.
"Prepare!"
Qian Duoduo's eyes were fixed on the golden rattle drum as he shouted loudly.
The Spiritual Dogs and Spiritual Foxes had already leaped onto the mountaintop when Deng Feihong flipped his palm downwards, activating the entire Formation.
"Whoosh!"
A blinding white light suddenly flashed, and a huge impact force rushed towards the Sha Soul tide.
At the same time, two giant crossbow bolts shot towards the rag doll halfway up the mountain.
Shikong Lin rotated the rattle drum with his right hand and punched out with his left fist.
The pellet from the rattle drum collided with Dugu Yunshan's crossbow bolt, blocking it.
The punch from Shikong Lin's rag doll's left hand struck Zhao Haonan's giant crossbow bolt.
The giant crossbow bolt's momentum decreased, but its residual force was not completely dissipated, still striking the rag doll's fist.
A small indentation appeared on the fist, then it bounced, sending the giant crossbow bolt to the ground.
The rag doll was much more formidable than the windmill!
After the white light of the Formation, the Spiritual Dogs and Spiritual Foxes that had rushed to the mountaintop turned into air, and the Ling Rats and Spiritual Sparrows that had rushed to the front were swept twenty zhang away.
Immediately following, Magic Treasures shot out Spiritual Qi and Spiritual Power, continuously striking down the powerful individuals within the Sha Soul tide.
"I'll go meet him."
Dugu Yunshan pointed at the rag doll.
"Senior Brother, be careful."
Qian Duoduo nodded, telling Deng Feihong, "Be ready to provide support for Senior Brother Dugu at any time."
Dugu Yunshan's hand and foot joints had already turned golden.
This Foundation Establishment had greatly increased his strength.
His previous competition with Zhao Haonan and Liang Liying had been ruined by Qian Duoduo and the others.
Now, he wanted to have a good fight.
At the same time, someone had to block the rag doll Shikong Lin.
Dugu Yunshan charged out of the Formation, immediately becoming the most conspicuous target on the entire battlefield.
More than ten already frenzied large Sha Beasts immediately charged towards him.
"Boom," Dugu Yunshan delivered a heavy punch, smashing the head of a black tiger to a pulp.
He pulled his hands apart, tearing a Spiritual Pig into two pieces.
Facing a Spiritual Elephant, Dugu Yunshan's hand held a Sword Shield Gold.
He sidestepped and stabbed, then kicked with both legs, and the Spiritual Elephant fell like a small mountain.
"Shikong Lin, aren't you going to wake up!"
Dugu Yunshan shouted loudly at the approaching rag doll.
The rag doll paused at the sound, then shook the rattle drum in its hand even faster.
The rattle drum emitted waves of sound, rushing towards Dugu Yunshan.
"Are you willing to be a slave?"
Dugu Yunshan put away the Sword Shield Gold and punched at Shikong Lin.
On the rag doll's head, Shikong Lin's face was distorted, as if struggling.
But the huge fist on the rag doll's left hand still slammed into Dugu Yunshan's.
A powerful fluctuation emanated from the point where the two fists collided.
Dugu Yunshan stood firmly, his feet unmoving.
The rag doll controlled by Shikong Lin also did not retreat.
The two fists struck each other, resulting in a draw!
"Good. What a thrill!"
Dugu Yunshan swung his fist, pressing towards the rag doll.
Shikong Lin took a few punches with his left hand, hesitated for a moment, and then raised the rattle drum in his right hand.
The rattle drum emitted golden light, and two golden pellets struck the drumhead.
Vaguely, Qian Duoduo felt that the situation was not good, and quickly told Deng Feihong, "Prepare to bring Senior Brother back!"
