"Hahahaha, Chu Ling, this greeting gift should be pretty good, right?"

Right after his voice fell, what caused Chu Ling to be stunned was, in the air above the magma river that was not far away from him, a man dressed in a simple red armor stood in the air, clearly revealing the strength of his own Dragon Transformantion Stage in front of Chu Ling.

What surprised Chu Ling the most was not this, but the face of the man who was clearly a Sword Puppet.

Although his face was a little distorted, his identity could still be vaguely discerned.

Without waiting for Chu Ling to yell, the people behind him could not help but be shocked.

"It's Kong Puzhi!"

"Heavens, how did he become a Sword Puppet?"

"Yeah, not only that, this guy can even stand in the air. Could it be that he possesses the power of Dragon Transformantion Stage? What, just what is going on?"

Everyone said in succession, and couldn't help but frown. After all, although they were very confident in Chu Ling, they weren't confident enough that they could compare to a Dragon Transformantion Stage expert!

Now, this Kong Puzhi, although they did not know what methods he used, had actually become a Sword Puppet, and even possessed the power of Dragon Transformantion Stage.

However, they were very clear that since Kong Puzhi was able to speak and attack with human language, and even had an expression of resentment that overflowed to the sky, it meant that Kong Puzhi had obviously not lost his reason.

From the looks of it, even if Kong Puzhi and all of them were to add on, he would still not be a match for them.

At that time, Chu Ling was also very suspicious in his heart, but he did not doubt Kong Puzhi's current strength at all. After all, even though it was a casual strike from Kong Puzhi that had just surged up from the river, Chu Ling was very clear in his heart that it was definitely the power of Dragon Transformantion Stage.

As Chu Ling thought of this, although he really wanted to kill Kong Puzhi and save the puppets that were controlled behind him, he was not stupid enough to directly go up and fight head on with force. As such, he only slowly raised his right hand and stretched his finger, signalling everyone to retreat.

Those who had received the orders from Chu Ling did not hesitate at all. Those who were originally afraid of Kong Puzhi immediately grabbed the puppets beside them and retreated backwards.

Chu Ling glanced at Kong Puzhi, who was looking at them with a smile that was not a smile. Although he knew that his retreat was probably within Kong Puzhi's calculations, he still did not have a choice as to retreat backwards.

After all, he was currently not Kong Puzhi's match.

And just as he had taken a few steps back, Kong Puzhi, who had been looking at them quietly all this while, suddenly grinned at him.

Although the face of the Sword Puppet at that time was Kong Puzhi's, its body clearly did not belong to Kong Puzhi a long time ago.

When he laughed, it revealed a mouth of charred flesh with a few traces of rotten teeth, causing Chu Ling to immediately vomit.

But the moment that Chu Ling shifted his gaze, Kong Puzhi's figure flashed and directly flew towards him.

Shadow Shifter!

When Chu Ling saw this, he was just about to activate the retractable earth inch divine ability and retreat, but Chu Ling never thought that at the moment when the retracting earth inch was about to be activated, a strong and powerful palm suddenly fell on his shoulders.

In that instant, Chu Ling felt as if a huge mountain had suddenly pressed down on his shoulders, and the Spatial Compression Technique had been broken for the first time at that time.

"You want to leave? You must be getting a bit anxious! " Kong Puzhi softly said from Chu Ling's side, causing Chu Ling's figure to tremble visibly as a sense of danger quickly enveloped Chu Ling.

Seeing that, Chu Ling's right hand suddenly clenched into a fist, and directly punched towards Kong Puzhi.

"Ancient Dragon Elephant Fist!"

Chu Ling growled, his right hand struck out towards Kong Puzhi's chest with lightning speed, but what he did not expect was that right after he swung his right fist, he was immediately grabbed by Kong Puzhi, and it was even harder to advance by half a minute.

There were even cracking sounds coming from his fist. It was obvious that his bones could no longer bear the burden.

"Hehe, the strength is quite good. However, it is still nothing!"

Kong Puzhi laughed coldly, following that, Chu Ling felt as if he had lost all control of his body, in an instant, he was pulled out from the ground by Kong Puzhi, and like a naughty child's doo, he flew up into the sky.

Chu Ling at that time suddenly shook his head, and discovered that his final destination was actually the river filled with lava. His heart immediately tightened, and the stone armor on his body once again appeared.

"Hehe, what sort of innate divine ability is that? Relax, I won't let you die."

Kong Puzhi's voice came out once again in Chu Ling's ears, following that, Chu Ling felt that his right leg was being grabbed tightly, while he himself was being held in mid air like a wild duck being grabbed by a hunter.

When Chu Ling thought of this, the anger in his chest immediately rose, and the formless sword in his sleeve was in his hands in the blink of an eye. But just as he was about to make his move, Kong Puzhi spoke again.

"I advise you not to take action. Although I, Kong Puzhi, have the heart to kill you, I have always wanted to leave you an intact corpse so that you can become my puppet and be used by me for all eternity.

However, if you truly dare to attack me right now, I will most likely accidentally shake my hand a few times. Then, you will truly be stuck in this river of magma. "

Kong Puzhi laughed cruelly, and then he deliberately loosened his grip on Chu Ling's ankle, as if he wanted to throw Chu Ling off.

"That's right, I forgot to tell you, this magma can fuse everything other than me, the Sword Puppet that was born here. Forget about your stone armor, even if it's a true cultivator of Dragon Transformantion Stage, they would be burnt to death if they were to fall.

"For a cultivator like you, I estimate that if you were to fall, not even a speck of it would remain."

Kong Puzhi said complacently. He had thought that Chu Ling would most likely surrender himself without a fight, and did not dare to make the slightest movement.

However, he did not expect that the formless sword in Chu Ling's hand would instantly transform into a Dragon Marking Sword. Following that, a dragon's roar sounded and a black dragon the size of a water droplet fell on Kong Pingzhi's chest in the blink of an eye.

"Raindrop Instantaneous Piercing Stone!"

Chu Ling growled in a low voice. Without waiting for Kong Puzhi to retaliate, the second drop of water condensed once again and charged towards the same spot as before, striking out with dazzling sparks.

"Even if there's nothing left of you, it's still better than having you turn into a puppet!"
