"If I didn't leave myself a way out, how could I have the confidence to confront the Ghost Lord today?" Jun Jingli clapped his hands. In the darkness behind him, he could only see rows of green and red eyes, emitting a terrifying aura.
Mu Huan felt that this group of puppets seemed quite different from the last one. At least, their aura was more than twice as strong as the last wave of puppets. It looked like a tough battle was in store today.
"Master Imperial Master's puppetry skills are truly improving day by day!" Don't take this as a compliment; it's a roundabout way of scolding you. Mu Huan really wanted to scold him, but because Liang Ci was by her side, she had to protect her well-behaved image.
"Thank you for the compliment!" Jun Jingli seemed to be unable to hear the sarcasm in Mu Huan's words, and he shamelessly accepted Mu Huan's "compliment"! Such shamelessness really did not do justice to his face that looked just like Liang Ci.
No, Liang Ci should be better looking!
Enough of the talk, it's time to get down to business.
Jun Jingli took a step back, and all the puppets came out, marching in perfect unison, like a well-trained army. It was obvious that Jun Jingli had put a lot of effort into these puppets.
But what good is a puppet, no matter how powerful it is? If its master lacks spiritual power, the puppet it cultivates will only be what it is today. A perfect puppeteer knows how to leverage their own spiritual power to train and cultivate their puppets. Only then can a puppet truly be considered a perfect opponent.
"Master, please step back, I will protect you!" Mu Huan was so proud now that he even dared to think of protecting his master!
Liang Ci smiled helplessly. He really couldn't do anything with the little girl. Unless she was in particular danger, he couldn't act on his own. He could only let her do whatever she wanted and let her take risks.
Mu Huan teased Liang Ci for a few words, then his expression turned serious. Although Jun Jingli's puppets weren't as powerful as those trained by a true puppeteer, they still needed to be guarded against with caution. After all, he won by sheer numbers.
What puzzled Mu Huan the most was how, without spiritual power, he had forged the puppet? How had he managed to forcibly transfer the soul? And the soul technique he had always wanted from him, could it be that he had encountered some kind of opportunity and thus possessed something similar to soul technique?
There was no time to think about it. The group of unconscious puppets rushed over like crazy. Green eyes, red eyes, all stared at Mu Huan with big eyes, which looked a little weird and scary!
Mu Huan repeatedly overlapped and separated his hands, the black ghostly energy entwined in his hands, emitting a smell of decay and corrosion. Many red spider lilies began to grow under his feet, slowly growing roots and leaves.
The Lycoris radiata kept making a "sizzling" sound. That was because Mu Huan had forcibly injected the spark of the Netherworld Holy Fire into the Lycoris radiata when it was still a seed, so that the two could be combined and the power would be even more powerful.
Lycoris radiata began to grow wildly, growing towards the charging puppet. Its roots and leaves gradually stretched out and wrapped around its hands and feet, rendering it unable to move. It could only scream "Wow wow," but it couldn't move.
Having achieved the desired effect, Mu Huan didn't dare relax. The Manjushage only served as a deterrent, and this deterrent had a time limit. She had to burn these puppets before the Manjushage's restraining effect wore off. If she could burn them the first time, then it could burn them the second time. It all depended on how many Jun Jingli could give her to burn!
Mu Huan summoned the Netherworld Sacred Fire, its dark blue flames appearing exceptionally bright in the pitch-black night. The cold flames, swaying from side to side in the chilling wind, had a playful quality to them.
But this is not the time to ask it to come out and play. It must at least do its job first, otherwise its owner's life will be in danger.
For the Nether Flame to grow into a raging fire, it must absorb sufficient dark energy. Nighttime was the perfect time for the Nether Flame to grow, as it was when the yin and humidity were at their highest, providing it with ample nutrients.
Soon, the netherworld flames suspended in Mu Huan's hands blazed down at the bound puppets with the force of a prairie fire. Mu Huan also retracted the red spider lily just in time. Honestly, she'd already destroyed a lot of red spider lilies since arriving in this human race. She absolutely couldn't continue this. She was still thinking about cultivating the red spider lilies to bloom!
The raging flames burned all the puppets to ashes, but Mu Huan still did not let her guard down, because she saw that Jun Jingli's face did not look very bad, which meant that this treacherous national teacher might have left her a trick up her sleeve.
Looking at the puppets that had all vanished, Mu Huan retracted the Nether Flame. Her eyes were still warily looking in Jun Jingli's direction, a strong intuition telling her that Jun Jingli still had a big move in mind.
"Master Ghost Lord really opens my eyes time and time again!" Jun Jingli clapped his hands, his tone full of sarcasm.
"Then you are really lucky. I really don't let people open their eyes easily!"
Isn't it just a roundabout way of cursing people, as if everyone knows how to do it? When it comes to cursing people, she is really the originator of cursing.
"Master Ghost Lord, please do not get carried away." Jun Jingli was determined to win this time. He wanted to get the unique soul magic that belonged to the ghost clan, and he also wanted to make the Ghost Lord completely defeated here.
He glanced at Liang Ci, who had been standing nearby. With this person here, killing this female ghost would be a real hassle. However, with that trump card in hand, what could Liang Ci do to him? The worst that could happen was a fight to the death, but it was a shame to waste that trump card.
"What evil things are you holding in your mind? Just let them out all at once." Mu Huan didn't have the time to waste with him. She was in a hurry to go to bed!
"Then, Master Ghost, you must be mentally prepared." Don't get scared! Otherwise, he'll still feel guilty. Jun Jingli stepped back slightly, took out a small bamboo tube from his arms, and opened it in front of Mu Huan.
This was Jun Jingli's biggest trump card. All of his puppets originated from this puppet. This puppet wasn't as weak as the previous wave of puppets, as it was fire-immune! It was specifically designed to counter Mu Huan's Nether Flame.
A blood-red object emerged from the small bamboo tube. It slowly grew larger, eventually becoming a puppet-like figure. However, Mu Huan could clearly sense that this puppet was incredibly powerful!
