Chapter 49 Liu Qingqing's Entrustment
"What?!" Liu Qingqing's expression changed drastically.
It's no wonder she looked so pale. Although several decades have passed since the spiritual tide erupted, third-tier items are still not as common as cabbages in the field.
Especially... the pure physical sequence!
"Stop him!" Liu Qingqing shouted, retreating rapidly while her hands moved quickly, sending more black puppet threads shooting out from her sleeves and wrapping around the six Yin puppets, attempting to forcibly enhance their combat power.
Although she made this decision hastily because she was intimidated by Lu Qingfeng's imposing presence, it still had some effect.
The six Yin puppets' eye sockets glowed brightly with red light, their joints cracked, and they pounced on Lu Qingfeng with extraordinary speed!
They extended foot-long metal claws from their five fingers, the tips gleaming with a ghostly blue venomous light, tearing through the air.
Lu Qingfeng neither retreated nor dodged, but roared to the sky!
"roar--!"
The sound waves, carrying with them immense energy, spread out like a tangible, massive shockwave!
The two Yin puppets at the forefront suddenly stopped moving, as if they had crashed into an invisible barrier of energy.
The subsequent four puppets also swayed, and the control transmitted through the puppet threads became disordered.
In that instant of hesitation, Lu Qingfeng moved with lightning speed.
In his hands, Chongyue transformed into a crimson sword shadow, a pure and fierce move that could sweep away thousands of troops!
The first two Yin puppets were cut in half at the waist, their broken parts splattering with viscous black liquid.
The third and fourth Yin puppets clawed at Lu Qingfeng's shoulders and back, but only produced a series of ear-piercing friction sounds and sparks. The powerful defense blocked the attack like a barrier.
Lu Qingfeng threw a powerful backhand punch, shattering the head of the Yin Puppet, and simultaneously delivered an elbow strike.
Another Yin puppet was smashed, dented, and sent flying backward.
The fifth Yin Puppet pounced from the side. Lu Qingfeng lashed out with his left leg like a whip, the wind whistling as he kicked it, causing it to disintegrate in mid-air.
The last Yin puppet was already in front of him, its sharp claws piercing his throat.
Lu Qingfeng discarded his sword with his right hand, his five fingers like hooks, precisely gripping the wrist and twisting it with force!
"Crack!" The crisp sound of metal twisting and breaking rang out.
Then, he clenched his left fist and delivered a simple straight punch to the man's chest.
"Bang!!!"
The Yin Puppet's entire upper body exploded, scattering fragments everywhere.
From the outbreak to its end, it lasted only three breaths.
The six Yin puppets, which Liu Qingqing had painstakingly crafted, were instantly reduced to scrap metal.
Liu Qingqing's face was deathly pale, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth.
The Yin Puppet was destroyed, and she, who was connected to it by mind and spirit, also suffered a backlash.
Just as Lu Qingfeng was about to give chase, a thick, black liquid suddenly gushed out from beneath his feet. This was a Yin Sha trap secretly set by Liu Qingqing, which slowed down his movement speed.
"Handsome young man, why be so ruthless?" Liu Qingqing gasped, her pale cheeks flushed with a sickly red, her pink silk dress slipping down to reveal her fair shoulders and slender waist.
A black thread, carrying a captivating fragrance, silently wrapped around Lu Qingfeng's wrist. "Look at my figure, my skills. Wouldn't it be better to join forces with me? I'll give you the Earth Vein Core, and I'll help you refine the Yin Fiend Power, adding Yin Poison Protection to your Earth Fiend Body, making you ten times stronger than your current brute strength. What do you say?"
As she spoke, she moved with light, graceful steps, her skirt brushing against the pebbles on the ground. Her voice was gentle and melodious, yet it concealed a hint of manipulation: "I know you crave power. I can use puppetry to help you regulate your qi and blood, making your power more controllable, and even..."
She deliberately puffed out her chest, the tattoo on her shoulder rising and falling with her breath. "My body can nurture the conflict between Yin energy and Qi, which is more effective than your ten years of arduous cultivation. Isn't it better than you fighting alone?"
Lu Qingfeng's eyelids did not move an inch; his crimson pupils held only a firm and cold killing intent.
A red-named monster thinks I'll spare her? Even though it's nighttime, I can't be dreaming!
"Noisy."
He snorted coldly, his blood and qi surging like a tide, breaking free from the viscous bindings. Chong Yue was already eager to try.
Despair flashed in Liu Qingqing's eyes, but then she suddenly smiled sadly, her body beginning to swell, and black threads from her fingertips instantly wrapped around her neck: "If you don't agree, I will self-destruct my Yin Sha core! The Yin Sha of the earth veins will instantly go berserk, and we will perish together!"
Her voice was filled with madness, yet she deliberately exposed the delicate skin of her neck, her eyes alluring and seductive, "Of course, if you spare my life, I'll do anything... whatever you want."
At the same time, she reached up and untied the sachet from her waist. The powder inside drifted in the wind, carrying a captivating and alluring fragrance: "This is the Soul-Intoxicating Incense. Ordinary cultivators would collapse upon smelling it, but for a powerful person like you, it can only help you relax... Let's have a good chat. I'll warm your bed, I'll craft puppets for you, you'll be my master, and I'll be your personal puppeteer. Isn't that good?"
Lu Qingfeng was completely unaffected by the strange fragrance. With the double blessing of his iron will and the Spirit Rhinoceros Talisman, his mind was as steady as a rock.
"No need."
Having exhausted all her schemes, Liu Qingqing grew increasingly panicked. Gazing at Lu Qingfeng's relentless advance, a fierce glint flashed in her eyes. Suddenly, she channeled her last wisp of Yin energy into the ground, declaring, "What I cannot have, no one else can have!"
This is her last trump card, drawing upon the remaining power of the Yin Sha core to create a tide of Yin spirits.
However, this power was not fully under control; the ghostly phantoms could only interfere with Lu Qingfeng's actions and did not pose a substantial threat.
Lu Qingfeng snorted coldly, his blood and qi burning like a raging fire, and the approaching ghostly phantoms were instantly burned to ashes.
He took a step forward, and the Chongyue Sword, carrying immense power, slashed down fiercely. Liu Qingqing was unable to dodge in time, and the sword's edge sliced open a deep wound on her shoulder, exposing the bone, and blood gushed out.
She collapsed to the ground, her pink silk dress stained crimson with blood, yet she remained defiant, reaching out to touch Lu Qingfeng's trouser leg, her voice trembling with tears: "Brother, I was wrong... I'll listen to you from now on, please don't kill me..."
"You don't want to die now?! It's too late!"
Lu Qingfeng's cold voice rang out.
A highly refined crimson sword aura emerged from the Chongyue Sword, piercing through its back.
Liu Qingqing's delicate body trembled. She looked down at the tip of the qi emanating from her chest, her eyes filled with resentment and disbelief, before collapsing softly to the ground.

Zongwang, how did you manage to leak all this information?
…………
The ruins returned to silence, the air thick with the stench of blood and burning.
Lu Qingfeng slowly retracted his released form, breathing slightly heavily.
The continuous fierce battles have taken a toll on our resources.
But it wasn't all for naught. In fact, in this one battle, he discovered that the network also had an automatic pickup function.
He put away his spoils and turned his gaze to the eerie shrine.
"Next, it's time to deal with the main culprit."
The ancestral hall's main gate remained eerie, and the phosphorescent light in the eyes of the two stone beasts seemed to flicker even more intensely.
