Chapter 387: Puppet!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Black Dragon looked up at the lightning that struck down from above, and his expression changed.

“Good kid, you actually have such power!”

Black Dragon hid a thousand feet away and looked at Li Yuanqing with a burning gaze.

Li Yuanqing looked at Black Dragon indifferently. Although he was restricted by the power of the lower realm, the strength of his body was not something that the creatures of the lower realm could compare to.

Black Dragon had forcefully torn apart the shackles with his powerful body. Otherwise, Li Yuanqing’s sword would have landed on his head no matter what. However, he was also at the peak of the Formation Arrangement Realm now, so there was no reason for him to be afraid.

“Since you’re already here today, I don’t think there’s a need to leave.”

Black Dragon’s expression turned cold. He frowned and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

“Kid, what do you mean? Do you think you can keep me here with your strength?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt an extremely dangerous aura from behind.

Black Dragon suddenly grabbed behind him with its sharp claws.

Clunk.

There was a sharp sound.

Black Dragon forcefully retreated hundreds of feet with his physical strength. He looked behind him in surprise. A strange-looking man appeared there.

This man’s entire body was covered in wooden patterns, but his face looked very similar to a human’s. Although his appearance was a little ordinary, the aura emitted from his body made people not dare to underestimate him.

“A puppet?”

Black Dragon looked at the new man with a livid expression. This guy was none other than the work that Daoist Bai Mei was most proud of.

Why was number thirty-six in Li Yuanqing’s hands?

Black Dragon looked around. On one side was Li Yuanqing, and on the other was Puppet Number Thirty.

If it was in the Immortal World, he could easily deal with these two people. However, this was the lower realm. He could not unleash that much strength. Moreover, this puppet had always been known for its powerful body. His few advantages had also been weakened.

Black Dragon began to retreat as he thought about it. This battle was probably doomed.

Moreover, Bai Mei was also saved by Li Yuanqing last time. If Bai Mei suddenly jumped out now, he would definitely die.

Li Yuanqing did not want to waste any more time. Black Dragon had already interfered with the lower realm for so long. Now, he was still coming to cause trouble time and time again. He had to take him down or the lower realm would never be peaceful.

“Kill him!”

Li Yuanqing ordered coldly. Number Thirty-Six’s body moved slightly and suddenly focused all his attention on the Black Dragon.

The Black Dragon froze and carefully took a few steps back.

“Good kid! I didn’t expect you to have such strength and such a helper.”

As the Black Dragon spoke, the puppet had already turned into a phantom and rushed towards the Black Dragon.

This guy did not care about tactics. He would chase after the enemy until he killed them.

Suddenly, a huge wild boar under the Black Dragon’s feet expanded like a balloon in the wind, becoming a thousand feet long. It opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the puppet.

Puppet Number Thirty-Six crawled into the wild boar’s mouth very frankly, as if he had been swallowed alive.

Black Dragon laughed proudly. “Although you have Bai Mei’s treasure, you don’t know how to use it at all. You only know how to be straightforward. What’s the use of that?”

Suddenly, the wild boar let out a sad cry towards the sky and its body began to tremble violently.

Black Dragon’s smile froze on his face. His face was ashen as he looked at the wild boar. This fellow did not have the strength of the Formation Arrangement Realm. However, he did not expect that it was completely unable to block the connection between the two of them.

Black Dragon originally wanted to use this wild boar as a container to store Number Thirty-Six inside and use special methods to cut off Li Yuanqing’s connection with the puppet. This way, Li Yuanqing would have one less capable helper.

Under his gaze, the wild boar’s body expanded again, especially its abdomen. It was about to become a big ball.

Black Dragon’s expression changed. It silently glanced at Li Yuanqing before turning into a shadow and disappearing into the horizon, heading west.

Not long after Black Dragon left, the wild boar finally could not take it anymore and exploded. Its entire body was completely shattered into meat paste.

Puppet Number Thirty-Six soared into the sky from the wild boar’s body and chased after the Black Dragon without hesitation.

“Master!”

Liu Wen crawled out of the big ball of light and jogged to Li Yuanqing’s feet.

Li Yuanqing looked down at the three of them and said with a satisfied smile, “You’ve done very well. City Lord Ye will personally reward you when you return.”

Liu Wen smiled happily and looked at his master. “Master, it’s all thanks to the amulet Sister Little Man made for us this time. Otherwise, we would have all died there.”

“Little Man will come over with City Lord Ye immediately. Wait for them here.”

As Li Yuanqing spoke, he chased towards the west. This time, Black Dragon had finally fallen into his trap. If he escaped to the Golden Light River, it would probably be difficult to find such an opportunity again.

“Master, be careful!”

Behind Li Yuanqing, Liu Wen and the other two were still looking over excitedly.

The scene of the battle just now made their hearts surge. Perhaps only their master could force the Black Dragon to such a state in the entire Demon Realm.

A figure flashed across the Golden Light River. Another white lightning flashed behind him, and the two of them collided violently on the Golden Light River.

The violent explosion swept up the entire river. The vast golden river formed a wave dozens of meters long with the explosion as the center and surged in all directions.

Two figures appeared at both ends of the explosion. Black Dragon stood above the golden river and looked at Puppet Thirty-Six with a burning gaze.

Originally, Bai Mei’s proud work should have belonged to him. However, Bai Mei was too stingy and could not bear to give it to him. He did not expect that it would land on Li Yuanqing and become his helper.

Black Dragon slowly raised both hands above his head.

The river water of the Golden Light River in front of him slowly stood up and turned into a golden wall between the two of them.

The Black Dragon felt the aura in the distant sky was getting closer and closer and did not dare to continue fighting. When Li Yuanqing arrived, it would probably be too late for him to leave.

Behind him, a golden door appeared out of thin air.

Black Dragon entered the golden door without hesitation.

After passing through the door, the Black Dragon finally heaved a long sigh of relief. However, when he opened his eyes, he suddenly felt something strange. He looked at the surrounding bamboo forest warily.

Although this place was somewhat similar to what he remembered, its aura was exposed.

Black Dragon’s eyes suddenly widened. The dragon claw that had just been lowered was immediately raised again and pushed straight forward.

Two threads of black gas were in front of him, slowly approaching him, blocked by his two claws.

The Black Dragon looked up at Li Yuanqing in disbelief.

“An illusion?”

He thought that he had already escaped, but when he really woke up, he realized that he was still in the Demon Realm. He had yet to return to the Immortal World.

Then what was with the Immortal Ascension Door just now? To be able to make the illusion of the Immortal Ascension Door look like reality, how strong was this person?

The Black Dragon’s heart slowly fell into an icehouse. If he had still been testing Li Yuanqing just now, he would have completely taken Li Yuanqing seriously now.

He had always treated Li Yuanqing as an ant from the lower realm. However, this ant was actually able to toy with him and ambush him on the path he had to take to escape. Furthermore, he had successfully pulled him into another domain.

Li Yuanqing looked coldly at the Black Dragon under his feet. Beside him, two half-grown boys jumped out.

The two little fellows, who had been talking incoherently previously, had more than doubled in size after consuming the demon core. They looked to be eight or nine years old. They stood beside Li Yuanqing and secretly sized up the Black Dragon.

Black Dragon’s pupils constricted when he saw the two little fellows.

“Spirit body?”

He did not expect to see the spirit body of a Dharma treasure in the lower realm. Wasn’t this something that only existed in the Immortal World? Where did Li Yuanqing come from?

“What did you say?”

Li Yunqing casually waved his hand, and a crack appeared on the other side of the Black Dragon. Thirty-Six walked straight in from outside and stared at the Black Dragon with lifeless eyes.

“Kid, you don’t really want to kill me here, do you?”

Black Dragon suddenly grinned. His mouth was so wide that his lips reached his ears.

Li Yuanqing nodded gently and replied matter-of-factly, “Since you chased me here, there’s no need to let you go back.”

“Really?” The Black Dragon pretended to be calm. “I know your human senior. If I die here, do you think you can still be safe?”

Li Yuanqing was about to make a move when he suddenly stopped.

“What did you say?”

“You know very well what I’m saying.”

“I don’t like people who talk too much.”

Black Dragon frowned. He had originally wanted to delay and recover some of the power in his body. However, if Li Yuanqing was ruthless enough, Number Thirty-Six would have already taken action.

Black Dragon raised his hands in surrender and looked at Li Yuanqing. “I have a very good relationship with Exalted Qiuming. Do you think the Exalted One will be happy if you kill me?”

Li Yuanqing’s eyes moved. Although he wanted to pretend that he was not tempted by this news, the name Qiuming left a deep impression on him.

Was this mighty figure who had once brought the human race to the Demon Realm still alive?

When Black Dragon saw this, he immediately calmed down. He knew that he had grasped Li Yunqing’s weakness.

“Little guy, I see that you’re so powerful. I know that you must be from one of the large sects of the human race. The famous sect near me is White Cloud Mountain. A thousand years ago, Exalted Qiuming once had some connections with your human race. It seems that they’re still entangled.”

Li Yuanqing stared at the Black Dragon below and pondered silently.

“What’s wrong? If you’re willing to let me go today, we’ll pretend that none of this happened. After I return, I’ll definitely not mention you to anyone in your sect. No one will know about your dealings with Exalted Qiuming!”

Li Yuanqing found this fellow’s words difficult to understand.

“You’re the one doing evil in the lower realm. Why should I worry?”

The Black Dragon suddenly burst out laughing and said proudly, “Kid, you’re still pretending to be stupid at this time? Your human race is a generous race. You’ve long sworn that you won’t touch the small worlds of the lower realm.”

“You make it sound like you’re upright.”

Li Yuanqing’s words made the Black Dragon even more determined. This kid was definitely from the Immortal World. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know so much.

However, Li Yuanqing was certain that Black Dragon was not very upright when he did things secretly.

Black Dragon smiled and nodded. “The two of us did it behind their backs. There’s no need to spread these things to the Immortal World and let everyone know. Isn’t it best for us to settle our grudges here?”

Li Yuanqing crossed his arms and looked at the Black Dragon leisurely.

“You want to beg me for mercy, yet you’re so arrogant.”

“I’m not begging for mercy. I’m just reminding you that neither of us will benefit from this!”

Li Yuanqing’s eyes darted around and he pretended to pout. With a wave of his hand, he dismissed Number Thirty-Six.

The Black Dragon was overjoyed. He looked at Li Yuanqing with a smile and said, “Kid, I knew you were a sensible person. I admit defeat in your hands this time. As long as you release me, you will have the final say in the Demon Realm. You only need to pay me thirty percent of the spirit stones every year.”

Li Yuanqing did not expect the Black Dragon to make such a condition at a time like this.

“You want thirty percent?”

“Of course. I personally nurtured the lower realm. Letting you be the boss is already giving you humans enough face. It’s reasonable for me to take thirty percent of your spirit stones.”

“What if I don’t agree?”

Looking at Li Yuanqing’s arrogant gaze, Black Dragon said arrogantly, “If you’re unwilling, I’ll report this to the Heavenly Court. At that time, no one will be able to eat!”

“Heavenly Court? Interesting.”

“Are you willing or not?”

Li Yuanqing threw out a black stone platform into the air. Thousands of threads fell from the stone platform and wrapped the Black Dragon tightly.

Behind the Black Dragon, a vaguely formed spatial crack was also tightened by the black threads.

“You still want to run at a time like this?” Li Yuanqing’s expression turned stern and his aura suddenly rose. “Then die!”
