The Blood Puppet was too powerful, and it was simply not something a cultivator at the peak of Martial Honor could resist. Now that the Blood Puppet was coming to kill him, he would surely die if he stayed here. Ding Jun could only choose to stay and buy time for Yang Qi, so that Yang Qi could escape alone.
Yang Qi did not retreat, but said in a deep voice, "Senior Ding, that blood puppet has consumed a lot of energy. I still have a protective treasure on me, so I may be able to hold him back until his energy is exhausted."
"Okay!" Ding Jun's expression changed and finally he nodded.
The Blood Puppet was attacked by Yang Qi's protective treasure, which must have consumed a lot of energy. It was also chasing other practitioners. Although there was still a lot of time before half a cup of tea, the Blood Puppet, which consumed a lot of energy, would definitely not be able to hold out for half a cup of tea. As Yang Qi said, they might be able to drag it out until the Blood Puppet's energy was exhausted!
Whoosh~
As soon as Ding Jun finished speaking, a figure flew over in the blood mist, and along with the figure, a sharp sword energy attacked Yang Qi and Ding Jun.
“So strong!”
Feeling the terrifying power contained in the oncoming sword energy, Yang Qi's face darkened. The power unleashed by the Blood Puppet when attacking alone was indeed more powerful than when attacking multiple people, and it almost reached the power of the Martial King level!
Buzz~
Facing the incoming attack, Ding Jun's eyes focused, and the aura on his body continued to rise, and in an instant he reached the limit of Martial Honor. As long as he took another step, he would reach the Martial King realm. It turned out that he had performed a secret technique.
"Stop it for me!"
Ding Jun shook the sword in his hand, and a sharp sword light fell from the air, protecting him and Yang Qi tightly.
Boom!
The knife energy slashed down and hit the sword light fiercely. With an extremely terrifying loud noise, the sword light shattered directly, and the remaining knife energy directly chopped Ding Jun away.
"Wow~"
A stream of blood spurted out of Ding Jun's mouth, and his face immediately turned pale.
Although the blood puppet's attack just barely reached the level of Martial King, even Ding Jun, who had improved his strength by using secret techniques, was still unable to resist the blood puppet's full-strength attack.
"Yang Qi, let's go quickly. The Blood Puppet is too strong. We can't delay it for that long." Ding Jun shouted.
If the attack was only slightly more powerful than before, he and Yang Qi, with their protective treasures, might be able to delay until the blood puppet's energy was exhausted. But now the blood puppet had severely injured him while performing the secret technique. In this case, Ding Jun couldn't delay for much time. How long could he hold out with Yang Qi's protective treasures
“It’s too late!”
Hearing this, Yang Qi smiled bitterly. He could already feel himself being locked by the blood puppet.
Whoosh~
A sharp and violent sword energy burst out from the blood puppet's hand and slashed directly towards Yang Qi.
Buzz~
Facing the incoming sword energy, Yang Qi directly used his secret technique, and his cultivation level directly broke through from the late eight-star Martial Master level to the nine-star Martial Master level.
"The sword energy is destroyed!"
Yang Qi let out a low roar, and the Black Phoenix Flame wrapped around the Qinghong Sword. A blue-black sword light directly met the incoming sword energy.
Snap!
The blade energy and the sword light collided, and the dark blue sword light shattered instantly. The blade energy, which contained terrifying power, slashed towards Yang Qi at an unreduced speed. The sharp blade energy fell, but was firmly blocked by a stone tablet phantom. However, the stone tablet phantom also trembled violently when it was hit by the blade energy, as if it was about to shatter in an instant.
Bang!
Yang Qi's body was chopped and flew backwards. The power contained in the sword hit his body and a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth.
“Is this the strength that is close to that of Martial King?” Feeling his own injuries, Yang Qi showed a bitter smile on his face.
His current strength has improved a lot compared to when he was in the Martial Emperor Secret Realm, and his means of protecting his life have also been greatly enhanced. But even so, the blood puppet's sword still left him seriously injured.
You know, when he was in the Martial Emperor Secret Realm, Yang Qi could easily fight against the Thunder Pattern Tiger which had the combat power of a half-step Martial King, but even after his strength was improved, he was still crushed by the Blood Puppet!
However, this blood puppet only has strength close to that of a Martial King, and there is still a gap between it and the real Martial King.
Whoosh~
Ding Jun came to Yang Qi's side and said in a deep voice, "Go, we can't stop him!"
Yang Qi relied on his own strength to block the attack of the Blood Puppet, which was not too surprising to Ding Jun. After all, Ding Jun already knew that Yang Qi had defensive pseudo-Tao soldiers, and his own combat power was comparable to that of a peak Martial Honored One. With defensive pseudo-Tao soldiers, Yang Qi was not weaker than him in terms of life-saving means.
"Senior Ding, even if I want to leave now, it's probably too late." Yang Qi smiled bitterly.
Looking at the blood puppet coming to kill him, Ding Jun's face became extremely ugly. He regretted it so much. If he had known earlier, he should have let Yang Qi leave directly. The blood puppet was too strong and he couldn't resist it even if he tried his best. How could Yang Qi escape
Wow~
Yang Qi moved his hands, and took out the defensive treasure given by Liu Chun. As Yang Qi crushed the defensive treasure, a light blue light curtain protected him and Ding Jun firmly.
Bang!
At the same time, the blood puppet's attack also arrived and landed on the light curtain. The entire light curtain trembled slightly, and the power contained in it was also rapidly consumed.
“It has actually consumed about 20% of its power.” Feeling the power of the protective treasure being consumed, Yang Qi’s face darkened.
One attack from the Blood Puppet consumes 20% of its power, which means that the protective treasure can only withstand five full-strength attacks from the Blood Puppet at most.
"How many times can you resist?" Ding Jun looked at Yang Qi and asked.
Yang Qi smiled bitterly and said, "There are still four more times."
The Blood Puppet's full-strength attack possessed power close to that of a Martial King. Although Yang Qi's protective treasure was not weak, facing the Martial King's attack, it could only delay for a few moves.
If the first attack missed, the puppet would immediately launch another attack. With each attack of the puppet, the energy of the protective treasure was rapidly consumed.
Looking at the incoming sword energy, Yang Qi sighed, "This is the last time."
The energy of the protective treasure is only enough to withstand the blood puppet's last attack. Once the energy of the protective treasure is exhausted, they can only rely on themselves to resist.
However, with the blood puppet's strength overwhelming the two of them, even if they fought to the death, they probably wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
Snap!
The sharp and violent sword energy fell, the energy of the protective treasure was exhausted, and the light blue light curtain shattered. The remaining power of the sword energy was easily broken by Ding Jun's sword.
Whoosh~
After breaking through the defense of the protective treasure, the puppet did not stop at all. It moved its hand and a sharp blade energy slashed towards Yang Qi and the other person.
Without their protective treasures, Yang Qi and the other man were completely crushed. However, both Yang Qi and Ding Jun had the strongest ability to save their lives among the group. Although they were crushed, they did not die immediately.
"Wow~"
Yang Qi spat out a mouthful of blood, and the shadow of the stone tablet protecting him dissipated. His blue shirt had already been stained red with blood, and Ding Jun beside him was even worse off, with two huge knife scars on his chest, and blood was flowing. (To be continued)
