Elder Wu screamed, his eyes bulging with disbelief.
Taoist Danyang was also shocked. He had heard that people who practiced ghost techniques were often attacked by ghosts, and there were also cultivators attacked by their own pets, but he had never heard of a puppet attacking its owner.
Elder Wu was stabbed in the heart, blood trickled out of his mouth, and his throat gurgled, "You...you..."
The blood puppet actually laughed strangely, "Good brother, how does it feel to be attacked from behind?"
Elder Wu was as frightened as if he had seen a ghost. The blood puppet laughed triumphantly, "Back in the cave, you attacked your own brother in the back for this puppet, and even extracted my spirit and sealed it within it. Haha, how could you have known that this puppet was made of the essence of Qingluo Stone, which has the effect of calming the soul and nourishing the mind? Three years ago, I woke up and have always wanted to kill you, but I never had the chance. Today, I finally got the chance. Haha, after I kill you, I will take over your body later, and then I, Wu Si, will be able to dominate the world. Haha, haha."
A hoarse, strange laugh drifted through the air. A fierce look flashed in Elder Wu's eyes. He shouted, "You! Don't even think about it!" His right hand, hidden in his sleeve, had already crushed something. The blood puppet screamed, and its legs exploded. "Blood Poison Curse, you are so vicious!"
The blood puppet fell from the sky, and the Tiangang Sword was pulled out. Elder Wu also spat out a mouthful of blood. He hurriedly took out a piece of talisman paper and stuck it on his heart, and the bleeding stopped immediately.
He cast a vicious blood curse on the puppet, not originally to deal with the puppet itself, but as a trick for himself.
The essence and blood belonged to his brother Wu Si, who had soaked the puppet in it and refined it for a full ten years before the essence and blood were integrated into the puppet. Due to their blood relationship, no one else could drive the puppet except him, so there was no need to worry about the puppet falling into the hands of the enemy and being used by others.
A blood poison curse is planted in the essence and blood. If the real puppet is taken away by someone, the blood poison curse can be recited at the critical moment, and the puppet and the other party will die together. This is actually Wu Liu's last killer move.
Who knew that there was a double-edged sword? Wu Si was not dead, but came back to life in the puppet. If the two fought, Wu Liu at this moment would definitely not be able to defeat the blood puppet, but because he was under the blood poison curse, he easily got rid of the opponent.
The blood puppet wailed as its calves, thighs, torso, and arms exploded one by one. Finally, its head exploded with a loud bang, and rubble fell in front of Youzhen Temple.
When the rubble covered the sky, Taoist Danyang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and a ray of light appeared in his sleeve, and the Seven Wonders Exquisite Pagoda flew out. He had previously activated the pagoda and released the white fox. At this moment, he gathered the last remaining magic power and sacrificed the Seven Wonders Exquisite Pagoda. The tower body emitted seven-colored divine light and shot towards Elder Wu.
Elder Wu was also seriously injured with a sword in his heart. Seeing the pagoda flying towards him, he screamed and had no way to dodge. He was hit directly by the pagoda, and his entire body was turned into powder. Even his consciousness could not escape. The pagoda flashed with light, turning his entire flesh and blood into ashes in an instant. It was truly domineering!
Shi Feng felt dizzy and stunned, speechless at the series of unexpected events. Taoist Danyang pulled a black pill from his bosom and swallowed it. His mind swept the area, his expression suddenly changing. He collected the scattered magical instruments on the mountain, picked up Shi Feng, and flew down to the foot of Lushou Peak.
A moment later, the two had flown to the depression at the foot of Lushou Peak. Taoist Danyang raised his hand, and the flying sword had already dug a big hole in the mountain wall in the shade. Taoist Danyang carried Shi Feng into the cave. In a hurry, he set down four restrictions at the entrance of the cave. After doing this, his whole body trembled violently, and he could no longer hold on, and fell to the ground with a plop.
Shi Feng hurriedly supported him, and Taoist Danyang panted, "Shi Feng, don't shout. The enemy's reinforcements have arrived. I have no magic power at the moment, and I am no match for him." Shi Feng nodded repeatedly, not daring to breathe, and shrank to one side.
Taoist Danyang sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes closed, his consciousness wandering outside, and a dark aura rising on his face. After about an hour, the muscles under his cheeks suddenly trembled violently, and his fists clenched, as if he could not help but stand up, but in the end he sighed and did not get up.
Another four hours passed like this, and it was already noon outside. Taoist Danyang looked increasingly listless, and his breath grew weaker and weaker. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and said, "Shi Feng, come here."
Shi Feng crawled to the feet of Taoist Danyang, who said, "Shi Feng, my time is up and I'm going to die soon. Monks have long seen through life and death, so it's not a big deal. Who would have thought that before I die, I would drag down Hongshi Town."
Shi Feng didn't understand what he meant, "Master, why do you say that?"
"Last night, after a fierce battle between me and that demon master, his helpers were almost here, so I hurriedly took you to hide in this cave. He couldn't find me, so he went to Redstone Town. Unfortunately, the mountain wind blew the corpse of the thousand-year-old white fox down at the town gate. I've stayed at the Earth God Temple and your house before, leaving my presence behind. That demon thief searched the town for the white fox crystal core last night but couldn't find it. He couldn't find my whereabouts, so in a rage, he slaughtered everyone in Redstone Town and burned the entire town down."
Shi Feng felt like he was struck by lightning from a clear sky. After a long while, he finally cried out, "Mother, sister, oh my god, oh my god!"
He was only thirteen years old, and had been dependent on his widowed mother and younger sister since childhood. No matter how hard life was, he gritted his teeth and held on, just for the two of them to live a better life. Who would have thought that in just one night, he would be gone.
Shi Feng's mind went blank, and he could only wail heartbreakingly, "Mother, mother, please give me back my mother. Oh my God, my poor sister is only ten years old. How can you be so cruel? Oh my God!"
Taoist Danyang also burst into tears and murmured, "I cannot redeem my sins even if I die a thousand times, and I have no face to see the ancestors of all generations." Shi Feng cried until he was hoarse and fainted on the ground.
Taoist Danyang stretched out his hand and used his luck to wake him up. Shi Feng suddenly shouted, "I don't believe it. I want to go find my mother and little sister."
Taoist Danyang held him down and said, "Shi Feng, don't go. The people from the Demon Puppet Sect haven't left yet. If you go, you will definitely die."
Shi Feng roared and drew his dagger, "They killed my entire family, I will fight them to the death."
Taoist Danyang said, "You are just an ordinary person. You can be reduced to ashes with just one breath. What's the point of fighting? Child, please sit down. My time is coming to an end. I have something to tell you. Please listen to me."
When Shi Feng heard this, he saw that Taoist Danyang's face had turned completely black, blood had solidified on his clothes, and his breath was weak. He could not help but stand there in a daze.
Taoist Danyang took a deep breath and pulled out a jade box from his bosom. "Shi Feng, I am a cultivator from the Taiji Sect. You are a kind-hearted child, and you are naturally able to multitask. I originally wanted to take you as my disciple, but unfortunately, you have no spiritual roots, so you can never enter my sect. What a pity!"
Taoist Danyang sighed several times and continued, "Today, because of me, you have become a homeless child. You can go south to find Taiji Gate. I have left a message for the head brother to accept you as his disciple. Although you cannot practice Taoism, it is enough to ensure your wealth and prosperity for a lifetime. In addition, please hand this jade box to the head brother Dao Chong in person. It contains the image of my brother and a map of how to get to Taiji Gate." As he spoke, he raised his hand and a green light shone into Shi Feng's mind. Shi Feng felt a human figure and a bunch of map texts immediately appear in his mind.
Taoist Danyang gasped for breath and pulled out a jade token from his pocket, saying, "This is my identity badge. You must take it back to Taiji Sect as a token of trust. This badge and the jade box are of great importance. If anyone knows about them, your life will be in danger. Remember this, remember this."
He stretched out his hand and the nameplate and jade box shrank to the size of a thumb and landed in front of Shi Feng. He then took out a small bottle and placed it in front of Shi Feng. "Here are some pills. If you feel any discomfort, take one."
Shi Feng just stood there stupidly, not even reaching out to take it.
Taoist Danyang sighed, "If you don't want to, just throw these two things away. Don't keep them with you, it will only cause trouble." After saying that, his face flushed, but it was a sudden realization, and the past suddenly came to his mind.
Taoist Danyang closed his eyes for a long time, then smiled faintly. "The people from the Demonic Puppet Sect should have gone far away. I have placed a ban on the nameplate on this jade box to conceal its aura, so they won't be able to find it. After I die, I will shatter my elixir and use True Fire to burn my entire body, leaving no trace. If anyone asks you, just say you don't know."
After saying this, he straightened his body, sat cross-legged and chanted softly. No one knew what Taoist scripture he was chanting. Suddenly, a ball of red light surged out from his lower abdomen, gradually getting bigger and covering his whole body, like a raging fire, but he could not feel any temperature at all.
In the firelight, Taoist Danyang had a dignified face and his body gradually disappeared. Finally, the firelight dimmed and went out in a flash, and the cave became dark and cold again.
