Chapter 409 Eradicate dissidents

Cheng Bai asked secretly, "Then how can we accurately identify human puppets?"

Li Tong said seriously, "Every move of the human puppet is controlled by its master, because its origin is the same as the master's. If the spiritual eye is advanced to the level of understanding cause and effect and reincarnation, it can trace the target's source at a glance."

Cheng Bai chuckled and said, "My spiritual eye technique hasn't advanced yet. Is there any other way to identify it?"

Li Tong suggested, "Then why not look for flaws in their techniques or visions? Perhaps we can uncover the true nature of the human puppets. Li Boren's cultivation of the double pupil secret technique certainly gives him unique advantages. And your spiritual eyes, without even requiring advancement, can also perform a similar function."

Cheng Bai pressed on, "They all require sensory secret techniques to discern. If someone lacks similar skills, will they be helpless?"

Li Tong said truthfully, "Ordinary cultivators also have their own methods. Due to the disappearance of their origin, the human puppet's perception ability is seriously flawed, and it is unable to distinguish the unique power of all things of others. Therefore, it is necessary to make accurate judgments through contact and careful observation."

Cheng Bai thought about it and was suddenly horrified: "Doesn't that mean trouble is coming! If the two Supreme Elders were normal, how could they not tell how powerful Venerable Wang is?"

Wang Xiongwu was already losing patience. He stepped forward and shouted, "I don't care if you've ever been a Holy Lord. If I don't teach you two old bastards a lesson, do you really think my fists are just for show?"

Wang Jiaoche said sternly, "How dare a mere Saint Son disrespect the elders and sages? How arrogant and rude!"

Pan Bibo's fingers formed a sword technique and he summoned the flying sword on his back, shooting it straight at Wang Xiongwu. At the same time, he shouted like a bell: "You disobedient fellow, I'll teach you how powerful I am!"

Seeing his partner start the fight, Wang Jiaoche controlled his flying sword without hesitation and launched a fierce attack with murderous intent.

When the sword lights intersected, they were like two white silk ribbons dancing nimbly, filled with murderous intent.

One sword beam flashed like a cyan dragon soaring into the sky, its fangs bared and claws swaying, its clanging voice accompanied by bursts of dragon roars. Another sword beam gushed out like a torrent, surging with unstoppable force, sweeping across the four directions with overwhelming power.

The two sword energies intertwined and advanced simultaneously, striving to kill with one strike, leaving no room for maneuver!

"Long beards, but short lives! Two supreme losers."

Wang Xiongwu sneered contemptuously, stretched out his index and middle fingers on both hands, and seemingly casually pinched the left and right, actually holding the two attacking swords firmly between his fingers.

No matter how hard the two Supreme Elders cast their spells, the sword remained motionless. Their faces changed drastically, their eyes widening in disbelief.

Wang Jiaoche hadn't expected his opponent to be so powerful. He was shocked and angry and asked, "Who are you? Jing Tao Sect has over a thousand disciples on the entire island, and there's no way they could be such a powerful person."

Pan Bibo still showed no fear and shouted, "You must be the invading demon that sneaked into the secret realm and attacked and killed the elders!"

Master Li's eyes gleamed with a strange light. Using his double pupil technique, he saw clearly and revealed the secret. "You two, there's no need to pretend any longer. You've long since lost your true nature, becoming pathetic puppets, controlled by the demon behind you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hong exclaimed in shock, "How dare these unorthodox sects manipulate our elders to commit evil behind the scenes! Today, the Immortal Saints of the Righteous Path are here to bear witness to the truth. We must not allow these evil sects to act recklessly!"

Cheng Bai suddenly realized, "Great Saint Wang dragged us here to witness this scene. It must have been premeditated."

Wang Hong turned to Wang Xiongwu and patiently persuaded him, "Holy Son, knock the swords out of the hands of those two puppets, and they will no longer be a concern. If you accomplish this feat, you will be our sect's greatest hero. I swear to be your backer!"

Wang Jiaoche tried to regain control of the flying sword several times but failed. He immediately decided to use his hidden trump card: "Junior brother, quickly abandon the sword and join me in activating the Boiling Sea Array!"

"The sea boils when the sword strikes, the mountains collapse and the rocks dance, the formation is set up!" Pan Bibo hurriedly chanted the spell and made hand gestures, cooperating with Wang Jiaoche to activate the formation.

Suddenly, the previously tranquil stone figures and horses around them came to life, twitching with a clatter. The stone figures brandished their stone swords at Cheng Bai and the others, while the stone horses flapped their wings, unleashing a force like a storm wave.

"Without these scrap metals, the two old guys are nothing but good-for-nothings." Wang Xiongwu snatched the two swords and threw them to the ground. Then he flashed past between Wang Jiaoche and Pan Bibo.

At that moment, Wang Xiongwu's fists turned into a violent storm, hitting the two supreme elders' faces, chests, abdomens, backs and other vital parts with precision and speed.

"Bang bang bang... bang bang bang..." There was a series of one-sided crushing heavy blows, and I didn't know whether he had punched thousands or tens of thousands of times.

The two supreme elders didn't even have time to say a word. Under the quick attack, their bodies were dented and twisted, losing their human form. They swayed a few times with a muffled "pop" sound, and then exploded into two pools of disgusting flesh.

"Hahaha!" Wang Xiongwu stopped moving, laughing wildly in triumph, looking down on his dead opponent. "I'm invincible, and you dare challenge me, a mere puppet? You old loser who doesn't know your own limitations."

The Sword-Bombing and Boiling Sea Formation did not stop its attack due to the death of its initiator, but instead became even more violent.

The entire tomb space was filled with a terrifying atmosphere that was as boiling as the abyss and the sea. This power was not caused by the stone men and stone horses, but came from Master Li's casual pat.

Wang Hong was familiar with the formation and reminded them, "The key to breaking the formation lies in the stone swords in the hands of the stone men. Just break or knock them all down."

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Li swung his arms with a flick of his wrist, unleashing an invisible sword energy. With a series of crisp "crackling" sounds, the stone swords wielded by the stone figures were shattered by the force of the swords. The formation then froze, and there was no further reaction.

Cheng Bai obtained relevant information from the inheritance magic cube and sighed, "The Sword-Slinging Boiling Sea Formation is a fourth-tier, top-grade formation. The combined power of the Stone Man and the Stone Horse is comparable to a full-strength attack from a late-stage Bone Refining Realm expert. But it's nothing compared to a Saint. He shattered it with a single move of his hand and foot."

"The Holy Son has performed outstandingly and made great contributions." Wang Hong praised him highly, but he did not care that the sect's formation was destroyed. He quickly bent down to pick up the two green and gold swords, and put them into his pocket after appeasing the spirits of the weapons with the golden seal of the sect leader.

After obtaining them, Wang Hong smiled and said, "The Green Dragon Sword is ranked 28th on the Tianbao List. The Water Heart Sword is ranked 27th on the Tianbao List. I have longed for them, but unfortunately the two elders held onto them and refused to pass them down, so they eventually fell into my hands."

Cheng Bai looked around, taking in every detail. He smiled and said, "Saint Lord Wang knew that the sect's secret realm was controlled by outsiders, so he instigated us to come together to help deal with this situation that even you can't handle."

Beitingjun suddenly realized what was going on and secretly cursed, "You cunning old fox, you never miss any opportunity to take advantage of others."

Wang Hong gave a bitter laugh and said, "My fellow Daoists, I was truly helpless! The situation was dire, and we saw our sect facing annihilation. I endured humiliation and hardship. If I hadn't carefully sought opportunities, how could I have survived to this moment?"

It turned out that when Wang Hong returned to Jingtao Gate this morning, he had already noticed the abnormal warning of Jingting Sword.

After entering the secret realm of the tomb to check, he fled out in fear, but he endured it and pretended to be calm while entertaining guests and presiding over the Nebi Conference to distinguish between enemies and friends.

When the time was right, he brought in strong reinforcements and swaggered in.

Cheng Bai secretly admired this series of performances: "A true man can bend and stretch. As long as he lives, there will always be opportunities! No wonder the Great Sage Lord Wang treated the visitor with such favor, tolerated the rise of Venerable Wang, and used the power of stronger forces to eliminate dissidents... all for the sake of a smooth journey."

Master Li pointed to the central tomb chamber and said aloud, "This person hiding behind the scenes is also a sword cultivator. His abilities are probably not inferior to Elder Bei's, but..."

Wang Xiongwu interrupted him with disdain on his face: "You are only at the Nirvana Realm, a weakling thief who is only worthy of being compared with women and children. Hand over the secret of longevity and aphrodisiac to me!"

A laugh filled with contempt echoed throughout the secret tomb. Without hesitation, Wang Xiongwu strode into the main tomb chamber behind the heavy stone door. As his figure sank into the depths, the echoing voices gradually faded.

Bei Tingjun could hear the discrimination and said dissatisfiedly, "Weak? He seems to be not very smart."

Cheng Bai frowned slightly and said, "I don't think things are that simple. It's better to be careful when you go in and explore."

Wang Hong was secretly delighted. "Wang Xiongwu used to be quite smart, but how did he become so crazy now? Anyway, let him rush in and kill the powerful enemy first, saving me a lot of trouble."

Cheng Bai didn't allow Wang Hong to think too much about the gains and losses, and urged him, "Please ask Saint Wang to lead the way. Let us see the ferocious methods that guy has."
