In truth, Du Guirong didn't realize that while it seemed like a draw, Jiang Yun was only using his pure Physical Body strength, and he still had many other methods, not even having deployed his Flesh Dao Body yet.
However, Jiang Yun's expression grew increasingly solemn, because he could sense that the Medicine Puppet's strength could still increase!
"Hmph!"
Suddenly, the Medicine Puppet opened its mouth, and from within, a ten-foot-long Fire Dragon spewed out, startling Jiang Yun once more.
He had originally thought that the Medicine Puppet relied solely on the same Physical Body strength as he did, but he hadn't expected the opponent to be able to cast spells as well.
Du Guirong coldly chuckled, "This is the power of the Medicine Puppet. Although it has been made into a Medicine Puppet, it does not forget the Cultivation Techniques it Cultivated."
Seeing the Fire Dragon approach, Jiang Yun no longer met it head-on. Instead, he reached out and grabbed, and the falling rainwater immediately transformed into a Water Dragon in his hand, meeting the attack.
Immediately after, Jiang Yun flicked his sleeve, and the mist behind him, which had always remained condensed and not dispersed like a cloak, surged forth, instantly engulfing the Medicine Puppet.
During these four months, although Jiang Yun hadn't fought anyone, he hadn't relaxed his Cultivation in the slightest.
Especially now, unable to open his twelfth Meridians, he no longer needed to consider matters of Cultivation, so all his energy was focused on Cultivation Techniques and Demon Refining.
The Cloud Heaven Mist Earth Technique had already become Jiang Yun's most powerful Cultivation Technique, and when used, its power was more than twice as strong as before.
Coupled with the current torrential rain, the rising water made the power of this Cloud Heaven Mist Earth Technique explode to its extreme.
Although it was still far from forming its own realm, within the mist, it could still increase Jiang Yun's strength by another degree.
With a flash of his figure, Jiang Yun also rushed into the mist!
Enveloped by the mist, the Medicine Puppet suddenly pulled hard on the white bandages wrapped around its body. The bandages immediately exploded layer by layer, looking from afar as if they had transformed into several white long snakes, shooting in all directions, seemingly trying to destroy the boundless mist and find Jiang Yun hidden within.
In fact, Jiang Yun was right in front of the Medicine Puppet, enveloped by an even denser layer of mist. Watching several white bandages shooting towards him, Jiang Yun raised his hand and made a grabbing motion upwards.
"Crack!"
A bolt of Thunder fell from the sky, landing directly in Jiang Yun's hand, condensing into a palm-sized Thunderball, which he fiercely smashed towards the Medicine Puppet.
"Boom!"
The Thunderball exploded, transforming into countless tiny golden Thunder, covering the Medicine Puppet's body from top to bottom, crackling. And after the Thunder disappeared, the Medicine Puppet's body had turned charred black, even emitting white smoke from its mouth.
However, despite being heavily injured by the Thunder Power, the Medicine Puppet's eyes regained clarity, and it looked at Jiang Yun.
Du Guirong, outside the mist, couldn't see what was happening inside, only hearing the continuous roars from within, making him pace anxiously outside.
A moment later, Du Guirong suddenly looked up at the churning mist in front of him, his face filled with shock, and said, "The Medicine Puppet has regained its consciousness! This won't do!"
Du Guirong stomped his foot fiercely, and a small jade token appeared in his hand. He then opened his mouth, bit his tongue sharply, and spat a mouthful of fresh blood onto it.
As the jade token was stained with blood, an earth-shattering, mournful roar suddenly echoed from within the mist, coming precisely from the Medicine Puppet!
The clarity that had just appeared in the Medicine Puppet's eyes gradually began to fade. Its facial features and body were almost twisted beyond recognition, but at this moment, its strength was finally fully unleashed.
At least in Jiang Yun's view, if he didn't summon his Flesh Dao Body, he might not be the Medicine Puppet's opponent.
However, such an activation was an immense suffering for the Medicine Puppet!
Just as the aura emanating from the Medicine Puppet reached an extreme, even causing the surrounding mist to thin, the Medicine Puppet's bulging eyes still held a trace of clarity and longing. It stared fixedly at Jiang Yun, uttering incoherent sounds: "Die, kill, me, let me die! Please, please!"
Hearing the Medicine Puppet's voice and seeing its twisted form, Jiang Yun couldn't help but recall the praying mantis from before.
If that praying mantis could speak human words, Jiang Yun believed it would say the same thing as the Medicine Puppet.
Although one was a demon and the other a human, both were controlled by similar methods, losing their freedom and becoming killing tools in Du Guirong's hands. Yet, they both retained a trace of clear consciousness, longing for freedom and liberation.
Although they were still alive, living like this was worse than death, yet they couldn't end their own lives...
Thinking of this, a string in Jiang Yun's mind was suddenly touched again, and this touch grew deeper and stronger, as if it was going to explode Jiang Yun's head.
Until, the Human Realm Path Cultivation Technique quietly and uncontrollably emerged.
At this moment, Jiang Yun suddenly had an epiphany, blurting out, "Unobtainable!"
The suffering of Unobtainable is one of the Eight Sufferings of the world!
And the Eight Sufferings Technique is a Cultivation Technique contained within the Human Realm Path, which no one can teach; it can only be comprehended on one's own. Therefore, the Cultivation Techniques comprehended by each person are different.
Gu Bu Lao had also told Jiang Yun to comprehend it himself, but Jiang Yun had always been at a loss, not knowing how to comprehend it.
It wasn't until this moment, looking at the Medicine Puppet in front of him and recalling the praying mantis from before, that he finally had a glimmer of understanding.
Unable to live, unable to die!
Suffering!
"Roar!"
The last trace of clarity and longing in the Medicine Puppet's eyes finally disappeared completely, and its incoherent sounds once again turned into a beast-like howl. It even dropped to all fours, leaped high, and charged towards Jiang Yun!
"Un-ob-tain-able!"
Watching the Medicine Puppet drawing closer, Jiang Yun chanted these three words, slowly raising his hand and pointing a finger!
At the tip of Jiang Yun's finger, a palm-sized Vortex suddenly appeared, and within the Vortex, human figures flickered and images shifted.
Although it was impossible to see clearly, if there were a third person present at this moment, they would clearly feel that this small Vortex contained a special power that would awaken the deepest desires in one's heart.
But, precisely, it could not be obtained!
This is Unobtainable!
"I, will help you obtain it!"
As his words fell, the Vortex at Jiang Yun's fingertip suddenly flew out, gently colliding with the Medicine Puppet's body, transforming into a bubble that enveloped the Medicine Puppet.
And Jiang Yun could clearly see that the Medicine Puppet within the Vortex was slowly losing its ferocious expression, replaced by serenity and peace.
However, its body was also silently and gradually disappearing within this Vortex. When only its head remained, it suddenly turned to Jiang Yun and gave a wide smile.
The smile contained deep gratitude!
