Chapter 95 - Can Ye's End?

The puppet was like a wolf that was chasing a bunch of sheep. Each brandish of its sharp claws took the life of more than a dozen cultivators. They could only scream pitifully before they fell weakly on the ground, no longer having any signs of life.

The puppet grabbed a screaming cultivator and tore his body in half. It then opened its huge mouth and devoured the two halves in mere seconds. Blood continuously streamed down from its mouth as the two green lights in its eye sockets flickered as if the puppet was glaring at the fleeing humans.

Everyone glanced at the scene in horror and hurriedly scrambled away. They didn’t dare stay any longer to spectate the fight or they might really become food for that monstrous beast of a puppet!

"Stinky human, are you not going to intervene? You can swat that bug with one finger. Meow." Ice said while poking Jiu Shen with her paws.

Jiu Shen’s eyes remained peacefully calm even after seeing such a bloody scene. He had seen something even worse than this during his past life, so how could it create a ripple in his heart? "This is something preordained by the heavens. Even if I save them now, in the end, they will still face a similar end. Besides, the Silver Wing Empire won’t sit idly after this kind of commotion. Just that, this old man seems to have brought some people over..."

Ice remained silent as she sat on Jiu Shen’s lap while crossing her front paws. Her huge belly was fully exposed, but she wasn’t the least bit embarrassed about it. In fact, she seemed to be flaunting it to the whole world as if it was something to be proud of...

Can Ye glanced at his saber and saw web-like cracks on it. His face fell and he could not help but look at Shiti Xibo with a grim expression. ’Just what the hell is that stone coffin made of?! I don’t believe it’s just an ordinary stone!’

"Itinerant beggar, I will give you the chance to surrender yourself and allow this old man to refine you into a corpse puppet! What do you think? It’s not too shameful to become this old man’s corpse puppet. Kekeke!" Shiti Xibo smiled wickedly while licking his lips.

Can Ye’s expression darkened as he clenched his fists in fury, but he could not do anything to Shiti Xibo since the old man was a realm stronger than he was. Not to mention that the latter also had that stone coffin in his possession.

"Who wants to become your puppet?! Old dog, even if I die today, I will bring you down with me!" Can Ye sprinted towards Shiti Xibo and raised his saber, before slashing it down.

"Kekeke! You’ve got guts, itinerant beggar! Die!" Shiti Xibo tapped the stone coffin and muttered a series of incantations. "Ma Ban Tot Pek Pek Mo!"

The stone coffin lit up and dozens of thick rusty metal chains came out of it, rushing towards Can Ye like snakes.

"Bang!"

Can Ye’s strike was blocked by the rusty chains and it didn’t even leave any noticeable damage. It merely threw the metal chains further away, but soon rushed back towards him, not allowing him to escape!

"Kekeke! Do you think you can damage a Divine Weapon with a trash saber?! Kekeke!" Shiti Xibo said in contempt, but his palms were already sweating heavily since the burden of using a Saint Weapon was still too much for him. Furthermore, he was also controlling his corpse puppet which made it even more burdensome for him.

A cultivator’s weapon was divided into three levels according to their destructive power. The weakest was the Earth Weapon, followed by the Divine Weapon, and lastly, the Saint Weapon.

Earth Weapons were those used by 6th-rank King Realm and below, while Divine Weapons can only be used by someone with at least a 7th-rank Emperor realm cultivation level. As for Saint Weapons, only a 9th-rank Saint realm was capable of wielding such a powerful killing tool!

"So that stone coffin is a Divine Weapon... No wonder!" Can Ye muttered as he slashed the metal chains away, but the cracks on his saber were slowly increasing, making him a bit worried. He didn’t have any more weapons to use, so once his saber is destroyed, he might really meet his end here...

"Diee!! Kekeke!" Shiti Xibo shouted with a murderous look, making his old face even more unsightly to look at.

The rusty metal chains converged together to form a huge chain that was a bucket thick and more than a hundred meters long. It was like a huge coiling serpent! Shiti Xibo then controlled it to attack Can Ye! The old man’s eyes were becoming even more ruthless as if he had already seen the light of victory!

Can Ye gritted his teeth and gathered the remaining true essence in his dantian and covered his saber with it, making it produce a brilliant glow as if it was basked by the sun’s light.

With a twist of his saber, he met the huge chain head-on with a strike of his own, leaving the air splitting in his wake. Countless saber lights manifested as his saber struck the huge metal chain!

"Booomm!!"

Their battle created huge cracks on the ground, making the surroundings tremor with each of their strikes.

"Crack!"

Can Ye’s saber could no longer hold on and it shattered into countless pieces!

Although he had used his true essence to coat his saber, it was still insufficient to fight against a Divine Weapon. Furthermore, Shiti Xibo was also stronger than him by an entire realm.

Without his weapon, the huge chain smashed on Can Ye’s body, the sound of bones breaking echoed as Can Ye’s figure was pathetically thrown away.

"Kekeke! What a foolish beggar! Without a weapon, you can only die! Don’t worry! I will use your corpse to refine another puppet! Kekeke! Now, die for me!" Shiti Xibo shouted maliciously.

Can Ye spat a mouthful of blood as he weakly stood up while clutching his bleeding chest. "Cough! Cough! Is... thi-this where...my journey ends?" He muttered with difficulty as he glanced at the approaching serpent-like chain.

Suddenly, the scene in front of him seemed to have slowed down when he was close to accepting his death. He then heard a voice whispering close to him. "No, this is where your journey begins..."
