Chapter 1493 She Still Has Puppet
Qu Yimian, however, refused to believe it.
She suppressed the sudden surge of panic deep within her, her voice sharp and piercing, "Stop spreading alarmist rumors. Do you think I'd believe that?"
Gu Xia's expression was ambiguous. "Whether it's alarmist or not, why don't you try it and see?"
Want to give it a try?
How do I test this thing?
What if it's really like she said? Wouldn't that be terrible?
However, Gu Xia didn't give her a chance to figure it out at all.
Countless icicles suddenly erupted from the ground, their sharp tips capable of piercing a person through if one was not careful. Qu Yimian's escape route was blocked, and after dodging a few times, she had no choice but to retreat into the air.
Before she could even react, Gu Xia's figure had already appeared behind her like a ghost.
The spirit sword twirled in her palm, flowing smoothly through the air. At such close range, Qu Yimian could feel the bone-chilling coldness of the cold sword blade as it touched her neck.
She couldn't help but shudder, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the corpse of the great demon that Gu Xia had recently cleaved in two with a single sword strike.
In a daze, it felt as if he too would be beheaded in the next second.
Qu Yimian was startled by this thought and instantly got goosebumps all over her body.
No, it's impossible.
She absolutely cannot die here!
Qu Yimian gritted her teeth and instinctively raised her sword to try to block, but when it came to swordsmanship, she was no match for Gu Xia, not to mention that the other party's strength was now above hers.
In just a few moves, Qu Yimian felt a sharp sensation on her wrist. She cried out in pain and pulled back, trying to create distance. Seeing this, Gu Xia delivered a swift and accurate whip kick to her vulnerable waist.
"what--"
Qu Yimian let out a scream almost instantly.
The spirit sword, glowing with a pale green light, shielded her within a protective barrier. Qu Yimian clutched her wound, both shocked and furious, her wrist dripping with blood.
Several magical artifacts were also thrown out at the same time. They were engraved with various runes and then spun around Gu Xia, bursting out a dazzling light as the runes intersected.
Gu Xia subconsciously narrowed her eyes.
Then he saw a huge ball of light hurtling straight toward his head.
"..."
What the hell is this?
Instead of dodging, she chose to face it head-on. Nothing, not even the ball of light, could stop her.
All she wanted to do right now was twist Qu Yimian's head off and use it as a ball.
A punch, imbued with spiritual power, pierced through the air and collided with the rapidly approaching ball of light. This strike was delivered with tremendous force, and the resulting shockwave was powerful enough to cleave an entire mountain in two, while also revealing the true nature of the ball of light.
It turned out to be a puppet covered in hard scales.
Gu Xia repeatedly flipped backward to dissipate the powerful force, and even she felt her arms go numb from the shock, but the figure opposite her remained motionless.
The puppet is oblivious and insensitive, without pain or the ability to think independently.
He was summoned by Qu Yimian, and naturally regarded Gu Xia in front of him as an enemy that needed to be eliminated.
"Go, kill her!"
Qu Yimian bit her lip in resentment and issued her order without hesitation.
She has now used all her trump cards, and even with all the magical artifacts and treasures at her disposal, she has been repeatedly thwarted, not to mention that she has also suffered considerable injuries.
If she still can't stop Gu Xia, then she's truly doomed.
Even at a time like this, you're still thinking about killing her?
Gu Xia's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but feel deeply moved by the other person's admirable spirit.
It's clear that Qu Yimian truly harbors pure hatred for her.
but……
Gu Xia curled her lips into a cold smile and casually swung her arm to move her body.
What a coincidence, isn't it? She's the same.
*
The puppet moved at the command, turning its head slightly the instant Qu Yimian gave the order, and then lunged towards her.
The movements were seamless, as if it were a born weapon of war, moving at an unbelievable speed. Gu Xia's reaction was equally swift, and she quickly swung her sword down.
However, when the spirit sword touched the puppet, it only drew a long spark. The puppet's scales shimmered with silver light, and not a single trace of damage was left.
She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Clearly, the puppet's body is as tough as a magical artifact.
After Gu Xia tentatively slashed with her sword, she had already made up her mind. She glanced behind the puppet and saw that Qu Yimian's eyes were fixed on her. When she saw that Gu Xia was looking at her, the resentment in her eyes intensified.
With a flick of his sword, he launched a direct attack at Gu Xia.
It seems they're trying to use the puppets to work together to get rid of her.
To be honest, Gu Xia almost burst out laughing for a moment.
joke?
The puppet's body is strong enough to go toe-to-toe with her, but that doesn't mean Qu Yimian can.
If I can't hit the puppet, can't I at least hit her?
The moment Qu Yimian launched her sneak attack, Gu Xia moved swiftly, stepping on the puppet's head and using the momentum to leap into the air. In an instant, the temperature of the entire space was filled with an astonishing chill.
Frost condensed inch by inch, Qu Yimian's arm stung, and the tip of her sword deviated a few inches. Gu Xia followed closely, and the bright sword light fell with the weight of a thousand pounds.
Qu Yimian took the blow squarely. As the sword energy touched her, her blood froze for a moment, and half of the bones in her body were shattered. Her face turned deathly pale, and she coughed up mouthfuls of blood.
However, that wasn't the end of it. Gu Xia was determined to take advantage of her illness and kill her. After succeeding in one move, she continued to relentlessly attack, and Qu Yimian had no choice but to force herself to swing her sword to defend herself.
His swordplay was chaotic and disorganized, and he was forced to retreat step by step by Gu Xia.
At this moment, she finally had to face a fact.
She is indeed not as good as Gu Xia.
In terms of talent, she is no match for her opponent.
In terms of fortuitous encounters, Gu Xia possesses just as many magical artifacts as she does.
Even the realm I was once so proud of is now being suppressed.
Qu Yimian was extremely flustered.
She hadn't expected that Gu Xia could still injure her so badly even through the puppet's barrier...
puppet.
Yes, she also has puppets.
Qu Yimian barely managed to calm herself down and struggled to protect herself with a few defensive talismans. The puppet behind her sensed her intention and stood in front of her expressionlessly the next second.
Gu Xia easily crushed the sword energy unleashed by Qu Yimian.
Although the sword techniques forcibly instilled into my mind later in life are all incredibly exquisite, they all require time to digest little by little.
Don't you remember how the founder of Xuanming Sect pointed his finger and stuffed all the sect's heritage into Li Tingyun's mind?
Even now, the other party has only barely digested a tiny fraction of it.
Gu Xia was once amazed by this kind of cramming-style teaching.
All I can say is that I can't bear the love from the ancestors.
Fortunately, it was Li Tingyun who received the inheritance. If it were anyone else, such a huge amount of information would not only cause their sea of consciousness to burst, but would at least make them dizzy for several days and nights.
How could I let her drag me around causing trouble?
Qu Yimian was not a sword cultivator to begin with, and even if she obtained the supreme sword technique from the remaining memories of the Heavenly Demon, it would be impossible for her to master it in such a short time.
Not to mention that he wanted to overpower Gu Xia, who was at the Transcendent Stage, in swordsmanship.
However, her puppet was indeed quite interesting.
Qu Yimian's sneak attack failed. Realizing that she was no match for Gu Xia, she decisively ordered the puppet to stand in front of her while she hid behind, not daring to show herself again. The secret realm was sealed off, and now there was no way to get out.
She could only hope that the puppet would be more capable; if it could kill Gu Xia, that would be even better.
The powerful killing move was neutralized. Gu Xia narrowed her eyes, and the attacks landed on the puppet as if they had vanished into thin air.
The opponent's expression remained unchanged. Under the full force of the Tribulation Transcending stage's attack, he was sent flying dozens of meters away. The collision produced a dull sound as the silver scales, resembling ocean waves, collided with the opponent.
Gu Xia keenly noticed that this time the puppet had several sword marks on its body.
However, this kind of magic weapon is indeed troublesome. It has no pain, is immortal and indestructible, and can only be controlled by the puppet's master. In other words, if you want to get rid of the puppet smoothly, you have to kill Qu Yimian first.
But just as she was about to point her sword at the figure behind her, the puppet raised its head, its dark, inorganic eyes rolling and locking onto her.
Gu Xia was so angry she laughed.
Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?
To deal with the puppet, you must first kill the controller, but to kill Qu Yimian, you must first get past the puppet's protection.
Is he playing Russian nesting dolls with her?
