Of the three protectors of the demonic cultivator, only Kou Jiao remains.

Kou Jiao watched as the four protectors all died. She had initially thought that one of them was an idiot who only knew how to train his body and was indeed not good at fighting. But she did not expect that the great protector Ge Bai would also die.

"Run!" That was Kou Jiao's first reaction.

But escaping is not so easy.

Kou Jiao's opponent, Elder Qiu Feiyang, was a puppeteer, and his puppets had already surrounded Kou Jiao.

Qiu Feiyang's lips curled into a cold smile. His puppets were not arranged arbitrarily. At this moment, he had already used the puppets to set up a demon-trapping formation. Even if Kou Jiao had all sorts of tricks up her sleeve, she would not be able to escape the encirclement!

"What a powerful cultivator." Kou Jiao said coldly, flicking her robes.

A burly man, 2.5 meters tall, was wearing only underwear, his body covered in bulging muscles.

Qiu Feiyang was slightly taken aback. Wasn't this demonic cultivator named Kou Jiao? It was clearly a woman's name, so how could he be such a strong and burly man?

But then I thought about it again. Su Qing had also said that Kou Jiao was most skilled at disguise, and every image she had was just a puppet shell for her.

Sure enough, the burly man suddenly split open, and a two-meter-tall boy walked out.

The young man was indeed handsome, but Qiu Feiyang could sense that he was not Kou Jiao's true form!

“Cultivator, you’ve already shown me some respect by letting me shed my skin, but that’s all I have to do.” As Kou Jiao spoke, a thick black mist enveloped the burly man who had split in two. When the mist dissipated, the burly man’s eyes turned fiery red.

He was Kou Jiao's puppet.

Seeing this, Qiu Feiyang became excited. He had never imagined that puppets could be used in this way.

He controlled a puppet with combat power comparable to the peak of the Core Formation stage to step forward, but to his surprise, the burly man simply swung his heavy fist and shattered Qiu Feiyang's puppet!

So strong!

Could it be that this burly man's fighting power is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator?

Qiu Feiyang's expression turned serious.

"I'm not that weak!" Kou Jiao said, as the burly man charged toward Qiu Feiyang's puppet.

With a single punch from the burly man, Qiu Feiyang's puppet horde crumbled instantly!

"Is that all the tricks you have? You think you can trap me? You're dreaming." Kou Jiao followed leisurely behind the burly man, a strange smile playing on her lips.

Elder Qiu Feiyang's face was grim. This Kou Jiao was really not easy to deal with. Since that was the case, he would go himself!

Qiu Feiyang leaped forward and stood in front of the burly man.

The burly man raised his fist and attacked Qiu Feiyang. Qiu Feiyang raised his arm and blocked the attack. Hmph, Elder Qiu is a master of weapon crafting. His armor has been reforged, and its defensive power is not to be underestimated.

The burly man's fist landed on the armor, twisting and deforming, but he seemed completely unaware of it as another fist swung towards him.

Indeed, he was nothing but an empty puppet; how could he feel pain? Being controlled, he naturally didn't know how to retreat.

Qiu Feiyang snorted coldly and swung his sword, piercing the big man's throat. However, the big man grabbed his shoulder and lifted him up.

Qiu Feiyang was swung around in the air and then thrown out.

Kou Jiao originally wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but unexpectedly, the burly man suddenly exploded, and her expression changed drastically!

Qiu Feiyang was caught by the numerous puppets and regained his balance.

Just now, he affixed a fifth-grade Five Elements Explosion Talisman drawn by Su Qing to the big man's body.

This talisman was very powerful, but not enough to break through the burly man's defenses. However, during the battle with the burly man, Qiu Feiyang noticed a weakness in him.

That place must be where the puppet-making apparatus is located.

So Qiu Feiyang attached the Five Elements Explosive Talisman to the tip of his sword and pierced it into the puppet mechanism, and the burly man exploded!

Kou Jiao was furious.

His handsome face began to contort.

This burly man was her first line of protection, yet he just exploded like that.

escape!

At this moment, Kou Jiao just wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

Kou Jiao leaped up, splitting the handsome young man in half at the waist, and a tall, alluring woman sprang out from inside.

The woman's body split in two, and a beautiful young girl jumped out.

The young girl split open from her chest, and a ten-year-old boy jumped out again.

Unexpectedly, Kou Jiao has turned herself into a nesting doll!

The ten-year-old boy had a sinister smile on his lips.

A handsome young man, a beautiful woman, and a lovely young girl—all three of them stood around the ten-year-old boy.

Qiu Feiyang was stunned.

Puppets can be played with like this?

The ten-year-old boy pointed at Qiu Feiyang and shouted, "Kill him!"

The three puppets moved towards Qiu Feiyang and surrounded him.

These three puppets were no less powerful than the burly man, and Qiu Feiyang was momentarily overwhelmed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the ten-year-old boy actually buried himself in the sand.

Qiu Feiyang looked up again, but the little boy was nowhere to be seen. He was very anxious, but he couldn't get away.

Kou Jiao sneered inwardly. If it came to escaping unscathed, she was probably no match for anyone!

But to her surprise, as soon as she burrowed into the sand, a plump sandworm appeared in front of her and spat out a mouthful of mucus at Kou Jiao.

Kou Jiao suppressed her nausea, changed direction, and then encountered another sandworm.

Just as she was about to change direction again, she noticed a swarm of sandworms gathering around her.

"Die!" Kou Jiao roared, and the sandworm in front of her exploded into a clump of slime.

Then, Kou Jiao's body was restrained.

Kou Jiao was dug out of the sand by Qiu Feiyang and found that all her puppets were lying on the ground.

"Your puppetry is indeed novel, but you're only thinking about nesting dolls on yourself. The mechanisms of these puppets are also quite crudely made. Once you find the mechanisms and break them, these puppets become a pile of useless junk!" Qiu Feiyang commented on Kou Jiao's puppets.

With a sudden tightening of his hands, he activated a mechanism on Kou Jiao's body.

Then the ten-year-old boy burst open, and a five- or six-year-old girl emerged from inside!

Is this little girl Kou Jiao?

Qiu Feiyang was somewhat stunned.

"I'm going to kill you!" the five- or six-year-old girl screamed, as black demonic energy surged from her body.

With lightning speed, Su Qing snatched the five- or six-year-old girl away. A wisp of Nine-Turn Golden Lotus Immortal Flame landed on Kou Jiao, burning away all of Kou Jiao's demonic energy. Her power also seemed to be burned away by the immortal flame, and she could no longer exert any strength.

Her eyes flashed with terror.

“Kou Jiao, your true form isn’t like this.” As Su Qing spoke, the body of the five or six-year-old girl fell off.

A small monster was revealed inside!

The demonic cultivator was actually an alien creature!

Initially, Elder Qiu was somewhat reluctant to harm Kou Jiao because she appeared to be a beautiful young girl, but upon seeing that she was actually a monster, he felt utterly disgusted.

"This is disgusting!" Shui Qingchen said with a look of disgust.

Kou Jiao could no longer struggle free and was burned to ashes by Su Qing's Nine-Turn Golden Lotus Immortal Fire.
