Chapter 195: Netherworld God Killer Puppet

The most agile of the cultivators were sent to retrieve Lee from the vicinity. Hegerus saw their attempt and was amused. He did not stop the man from taking Lee, but he would have interfered if they were taking the three women away.

"Thousand Severing Sword Formation!"

The Clan head of the Iron Shadow clan shouted out, and a thousand cultivators assembled themselves in formation. The cultivators began to chant something and their swords rose from their palms. Like a gigantic being, the swords rose up in unison and a visible layer of Qi was surrounding them.

The Iron Shadow clan head bit the tip of his index finger and blood appeared. He smeared the blood on his forehead in the form of a hyphen, and his eyes began to burn like fireballs.

"Heaven is the ultimate one,

Nothing burns brighter than the sun!"

The chant ended and the swords began to home at Hegerus. Maybe it was upon seeing the formation for the first time, he twitched his brows.

The swords began to fly at the dark elf with an intimidating aura. But the Tubian of Malice did not move. He simply raised his right arm and swung it horizontally.

Like a candle near fire, the swords homing in on him melted and fell on the ground. At the same time, innumerous black spikes emerged out of thin air and pierced the cultivators' hearts. None was able to make a reaction, and 99% of the entire people surrounding Hegerus died in an instant.

The cultivators expected a battle, but was witnessing a one-sided overpowered massacre. Even a few elders from all the three giants of the city could only evade the deadly objects. Not a single core disciple from the two clans and sect remained.

"YOU BASTARD!"

The Long Sect head saw the deaths of their core disciples and elders, and became enraged. His anger exploded forth as he took a talisman from the inside of his robe. The blood red piece of paper emitted a repelling aura.

"Hear my call, Netherworld God Killer puppet!"

*Boom*

From a distance, a loud blast could be heard. Something rose up into the sky and came down to where the clan head was standing. The large figure descended behind the clan head and straightened its posture.

'View.'

Lee was struggling to recover as the traces of Malice were still in his body. It battled against the Life element Mana, but soon yielded. As his body was slowly undergoing reconstruction, he used View on the arrived object.

'The hell? Are they trying to amuse him?'

Lee couldn't believe that this puppet behemoth was weaker than a punch of Hegerus. After depleting his entire Mana resource, his body was now almost healed. So he switched to Qi and the healing was much faster. With only a 120 Qi left, he was back to his normal state.

He was physically healed, but the trace of Malice was still running around in his brain. It periodically gave him a splitting headache, which he received by squeezing his skull in pain. Hegerus had planted a dose of Malice inside him to keep his actions at bay.

Lee tried to contact D several times, but the sentient part of the system did not seem to respond. Unbeknownst to him, D had contained his soul in the human figure vessel which he used to contend with the dark elf. When Hegerus threw D into outer space, he was forever lost from the planet.

The behemoth puppet was glossy black with neon blue lines running all over it. Hegerus found that the daylight had completely gone, but the neon light from the puppet was lighting up the atmosphere. He simply brushed off the existence of the puppet and turned around to complete his task.

"Presumptuous!!"

The clan head fumed with anger. As if the puppet felt insulted, it threw its hand and punched at Hegerus. But the arm abruptly came to a halt, as Hegerus used his skin alone to stop the force. He was irritated and was enraged. The energy of Malice condensed in his arms and he swung his arms.

*crash*

The large puppet flew away for about a mile and crashed on multiple buildings. The mortality rate of that crash alone crossed 30, and the puppet remained motionless. The clan head tried to summon the puppet back, but it seemed not to respond.

The miasma of pure negativity flowed from Hegerus' palms and Tera was covered in the cocoon. She should have died by now, but the lingering gas of hostility tied her soul into her body and prevented from escaping.

The cultivators saw that the dark elf was about to kill the last female cultivator, but was hesitant to attack. From what they saw, even the Netherworld God Killer puppet failed to put up a decent fight. With morale sunk to the bottom of the seas, the remaining cultivators withdrew from the scene.

But Xavi stood next to Lee. A few loyal subordinates of him also stayed by the side. Wondering how to defeat this being, they helplessly witnessed An being slowly engulfed by the miasma.

Standing up, Lee huffed out a mouthful of air silently. The pain and disorientation that shook his resolve to its core had subsided. He forcefully expelled the traces of Malice from him, using the affinity of Serenity.

'Convert half a billion Essence to both Mana and Qi.'

The visual interface suddenly showed a steep increase in the Mana and Qi reserve. Time element was activated and the Space affinity brought out its true potential.

Lee leaned forward and vanished from where he was, and Hegerus instantly felt a deadly intent approaching. The aura of the intent was so powerful that it made his hair on his back stand up. He turned around, and raised his hands to defend.

*boom*

Hegerus defended on time, but the incoming force was somehow beyond his expectation. When he flew backward after losing foothold, Hegerus had his eyes widened by what he saw.
