“Is the other person male or female?” Lin Xiao immediately asked.
“The voice was somewhat muffled, unknown gender.” This elder replied.
After a pause, Lin Xiao nodded and said, “I, I will go with you!”
Then, he followed this Martial Emperor elder out through the broken window and sneaked out of Zong Yan City, directly flying thousands of li away.
It did not take long before Lin Xiao and the two arrived and landed in a stretch of forest.
At this time, in front of a towering ancient tree, there stood a white-haired elder.
This white-haired elder emanated the aura of a second-layer Martial Emperor, but his face was very unfamiliar to Lin Xiao; he had never seen him before.
“Lin Xiao, you have come!” This elder stood in place, facing Lin Xiao, and spoke impassively.
“Come out!” Without paying attention to this elder, Lin Xiao swept his gaze around the surroundings and spoke indifferently.
“Could it be that you know it is me?”
At this moment, a slightly surprised voice sounded. From the forest to Lin Xiao’s side, an elder dressed in ać˝ć´ white robe with crane hair and childlike features strode out.
This elder was none other than the Shangguan family head, Shangguan Xiong.
As Shangguan Xiong walked out, plus the white-haired elder in front of Lin Xiao, and the grey-robed elder at his side, the three imperceptibly stood in a triangular formation, surrounding Lin Xiao in the middle position.
His gaze turned towards Shangguan Xiong, and Lin Xiao calmly replied, “That’s right!”
When the grey-robed elder answered unknown gender, he had already guessed it.
If it were Feng Yourain, it would be impossible for her to deliberately muffle her voice; only Shangguan Xiong would.
Because he had not mentioned to the Shangguan family whether the person he wanted to find was male or female, so Shangguan Xiong fundamentally did not know.
If Shangguan Xiong guessed randomly and guessed wrong, it would expose him.
Muffling the voice could solve this problem.
However, although it seemed both were possible, it had already revealed a flaw. Combining it with the actual situation, he could easily guess it.
And these two Martial Emperors, it went without saying, should be people whom Shangguan Xiong had soul-controlled or slave-controlled.
A seventh-grade soul controller could simultaneously slave-control one person and soul-control two, adding up to simultaneously controlling three powerhouses.
That Shangguan Xiong could find two Martial Emperors to control was not surprising, nor was it to be feared.
Therefore, he had dared to follow that grey-robed elder here so assuredly.
“You knew it was me, yet you still dared to come?” Hearing Lin Xiao’s words, Shangguan Xiong revealed a surprised expression on his face.
“I do not like people shooting cold arrows from behind, so it is better to come and clean it up.” Speaking to this point, Lin Xiao’s tone turned cold.
The Shangguan family and the Ouyang family had indeed somewhat exceeded his expectations. He had come here, yet they could find him, and even know his exact location.
“Clean me up, just with you?”
Shangguan Xiong was stunned, thinking of the method Lin Xiao had used previously to bomb Ouyang Kuo to death, his brows immediately furrowed. He was ready at any moment to release the energy weapon and retreat explosively while asking in a deep voice, “Could it be that you still have powerful explosive pills?”
“Explosive pills?” Lin Xiao was slightly stunned. So the other had mistaken his previous Swallowing Heaven Spirit Gathering Finger attack for an explosive pill, no wonder Shangguan Xiong dared to come knocking again.
Presumably, in Shangguan Xiong’s eyes, his strength was nothing more than strong defensive martial skills and fast speed, right?
“I do not have explosive pills, but dealing with you does not require explosive pills.” As he spoke, Lin Xiao waved his hand, and the Purple Corpse Puppet immediately appeared in front of him.
“Corpse puppet?” Seeing this corpse with purple skin all over appear, Shangguan Xiong revealed a thick expression of surprise on his face. Lin Xiao actually had a trump card like a corpse puppet in his hand?
The other two Martial Emperors also revealed shocked expressions. Although they had been soul-controlled, they had not lost consciousness.
Controlling a corpse puppet was not anything strange, but it was absolutely extremely rare.
“You even possess a corpse puppet. It seems your opportunities are truly plentiful!!”
With a long sigh, Shangguan Xiong’s expression suddenly turned cold, and he said, “Then let us see if your corpse puppet can block the attacks of the three of us. Make your move!”
With that said, Shangguan Xiong directly took out the energy weapon and decisively urged it to full power.
“Humph!”
A destructive aura emanated from that four-edged flying dart-shaped energy weapon, brilliant light bloomed, and torrential energy instantly erupted, like a rolling great river, a rolling Yangtze River, surging towards Lin Xiao and the Purple Corpse Puppet.
Boom! Boom!
At the same time, the second-layer Martial Emperor elders on the other two sides also made their moves. A massive palm force came down from the sky towards Lin Xiao, and a brilliant fist glow stirred with unparalleled fluctuations, bombarding towards Lin Xiao.
The position where Lin Xiao was located was almost instantly engulfed by the powers and energies from the three sides.
Boom!
Also at the moment the three made their moves, the Purple Corpse Puppet made its move as well. Its five fingers closed together, five rays of finger light shot out, the eerie finger light seemed to come from hell, rolling yin energy instantly erupted, and sounds like ghostly wails and wolf howls rang out.
The terrifying finger light, containing shocking yin and棎棎 power, shot towards the energy weapon surging with rolling energy with a momentum that could destroy anything in its path.
At the same time, Lin Xiao pushed both palms forward with the Impregnable Hao Ran Defence martial skill. A golden light barrier flowed out from between his palms, condensing into a golden power barrier that enveloped his entire body, ultimately wrapping his body tightly.
On the surface of the golden barrier, scales also condensed, gathering into an impregnable defence like a golden soup.
At the same time, his spiritual power defence was also urged out. Inside the Hao Ran power defence barrier, another spiritual power barrier was born, forming a double defence.
After all, this was an attack from an energy weapon, with the power of six or seven layers of Martial Emperor.
Although the Purple Corpse Puppet had the power to contend against five or six layers, it definitely could not fully block it. The energy that would be affected and come over, he did not know how strong it would be.
Moreover, there were attacks from two second-layer Martial Emperors beside him.
Of course, after breaking through to the seventh layer of Martial Monarch, his Impregnable Hao Ran defence power was also much stronger than before.
“Rumble!” “Rumble!”…
Like thunderous rumbling explosions erupted, torrential energy flows erupted at the position where Lin Xiao and the Purple Corpse Puppet were located.
Especially in the position in front of the Purple Corpse Puppet, terrifying energy exploded, surging out to both sides and towards their location.
The Purple Corpse Puppet was immediately flung out.
Lin Xiao’s defence barrier was also affected by the powers of the two and the energy from the clash between the energy weapon and the Purple Corpse Puppet.
Lin Xiao’s defence barrier was not damaged at all, but it was still shaken back by the fluctuations from the energy weapon and the Purple Corpse Puppet’s clash.
And in reality, he himself was also retreating explosively.
Because the Purple Corpse Puppet had been shaken back, if he did not retreat, the next strike from the energy weapon would hit him head-on.
The Purple Corpse Puppet was instantly shaken back thousands of zhang away, one could imagine how powerful the energy weapon was. Even the Purple Corpse Puppet, which could contend against five or six layers of Martial Emperor, could not block it.
However, the defence of the Purple Corpse Puppet was also not something that Shangguan Xiong’s urged energy weapon could injure.
