819 Dealing With the Puppets

“These puppets won’t let us go,” Jiang Ming said. “We can’t do this now. We have to defeat these puppets. The number of puppets is increasing. They definitely won’t just stop with Sikong Wuyuan.”

“Ning Caichen, you have to believe me. My plan will be very good. If Sikong Wuyuan continues to be unconscious, we will really exhaust our stamina if we drag him out with us to fight.”

Seeing Xia Chenjing’s persistence, Jiang Ming sighed helplessly. He also saw that Xia Chenjing might go ahead regardless of his wishes, so he simply agreed.

“Alright, I’ll let you see if your plan works.”

Xia Chenjing felt that there was nothing wrong with his plan and immediately became happy. He said to Jiang Ming, “I’ll lure these puppets away. I’ll leave it to you to take care of Sikong Wuyuan.”

He was very confident in escaping from these puppets. He vaguely remembered some knowledge he had learned on the battlefield.

As he thought about it, he did not wait for Jiang Ming’s reply and rushed forward.

The puppets were divided into two groups. One group went to chase Xia Chenjing, while the other group stayed to deal with Jiang Ming.

Xia Chenjing was originally full of confidence and felt that his plan would be very successful. However, when he turned around and found that there was a puppet beside Jiang Ming, he could not help but feel nervous.

Seeing that things had come to this point, Jiang Ming decided to go all out. He went forward and used his spiritual energy to twist the heads of the puppets off as Sikong Wuyuan had done earlier.

Originally, he thought that he might not succeed like Sikong Wuyuan, but in the end, its head was directly twisted off.

Jiang Ming looked at the puppet’s head and was stunned for a moment.

After the puppet’s head was twisted off, the puppet’s head could not move, and its eyes could not move either. Jiang Ming went forward and twisted the other puppets’ heads off.

In less than a minute, Jiang Ming twisted off all the puppets’ heads.

The bodies of the puppets could only wander around chaotically. Their hands bared their fangs and claws, trying to find traces of Jiang Ming and Xia Chenjing.

However, they could only walk around aimlessly like headless chickens.

Jiang Ming kicked the puppets onto the street.

Xia Chenjing wanted to change his strategy, but when he saw that Jiang Ming had already done so much, he was stunned.

He was useless as the second general.

He was a little disappointed, but then he felt that he had a lot to learn from Ning Caichen, so he became motivated again.

Xia Chenjing nodded and tied Sikong Wuyuan up again. He muttered, “Sikong Wuyuan might still be under control when he wakes up. We have to tie him up first.”

Jiang Ming did not expect Sikong Wuyuan to be treated like this. He was a little anxious.

Sikong Wuyuan had been controlled by the puppets. Now that the puppets had become like this, Sikong Wuyuan could still be controlled. Even using silver needles would not be able to do anything.

“I don’t know either. We can only find that cultivation priest to ask for the answer.”

“Alright, time is of the essence. Let’s set off quickly.”

Jiang Ming brought Sikong Wuyuan and Xia Chenjing back to the courtyard.

Liang Sisi originally thought that Jiang Ming and Xia Chenjing had succeeded. When she saw the unconscious Sikong Wuyuan, she could not help but panic. Then, she saw the ropes around Sikong Wuyuan’s body and was suddenly confused. She asked, “Ning Caichen, why did you tie Sikong Wuyuan up? What happened to Sikong Wuyuan?”

“Sikong Wuyuan might have been controlled. Don’t believe anything he says later, and don’t untie him,” Jiang Ming said earnestly to Liang Sisi.

Liang Sisi nodded. She looked straight at Jiang Ming and Xia Chenjing as they left.

Now that there were only two of them, Jiang Ming and Xia Chenjing became more cautious. They walked quickly toward the eaves and looked around.

However, when they arrived at the place where they were fighting with the puppets, they found that the puppets had disappeared, as if someone had secretly dealt with them.

Jiang Ming and Xia Chenjing looked at each other and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

When they were about to continue forward, they were bounced back by a strange barrier.

Jiang Ming did not expect that he would be hindered by a barrier. He could not help but feel angry. A long sword appeared in his hand.

He raised the long sword and cut the barrier.

With just one slash, the barrier instantly broke. It was cut into two halves. One half was still active.

Seeing that Jiang Ming had cut the barrier so easily, Xia Chenjing felt that he could get rid of the other half of the barrier, so he immediately took out his sword.

He injected spiritual energy into his sword, raised it, and slashed straight at the barrier.

The barrier was not broken. Not only that, but it also split Xia Chenjing’s sword in half.

Seeing that his beloved sword had now become scrap metal, Xia Chenjing felt upset. He immediately picked up the broken blade and slashed at the barrier.

However, in less than a second, the broken blade instantly turned into ashes.

This time, there was no way to save his sword.

Xia Chenjing could not help but kneel on the ground, deeply shocked.

All the barriers disappeared, but this hit Xia Chenjing hard.

Xia Chenjing muttered to himself, “This sword was given to me by my master. It is said that it can cut through any enemy. However, I can’t even break through a barrier. I’m a failure.”

“Did you mishear? Your master might have mentioned some restrictions, but you forgot.”

Jiang Ming did not know how to comfort Xia Chenjing, so he said this.

Xia Chenjing was even more uncomfortable. “I don’t think there were any restrictions. Is this barrier stronger than that Soul Formation Realm cultivator? My master said that barriers above the Soul Formation Realm cannot be cut off. I don’t believe that there is a barrier above the Soul Formation Realm in this small country.”

Xia Chenjing was still lying to himself.

Jiang Ming heard him clearly and then followed Xia Chenjing. “There’s always someone better than you. You can’t think like that. Don’t be narcissistic.”
