Chapter 527 Skeleton Movement

When Xiao Ling used the astonishingly powerful light blade to split several puppets in one fell swoop, turning them into wreckage and instantly disintegrating the offensive, the battle on Xiao Yixiang's side was also fierce.

A cold light flashed in the beautiful eyes of the Little Medical Immortal. Her hands quickly changed seals and she shouted softly, "Nine Nether Poison Flame Pythons, gather!"

In an instant, the Netherworld poisonous fire around her seemed to have received some powerful call. The fire suddenly surged, and the originally dark green flame instantly turned into a deep purple-black color. The color was like an endless abyss, exuding a terrifying breath.

Immediately afterwards, the blazing purple-black poisonous flame broke away from the palm of the Little Medical Fairy and quickly gathered in mid-air. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a giant flaming python with bared fangs and claws.

The flames on the giant python kept jumping and flickering, and every flame seemed to contain a deadly poison. The surrounding air was burning and crackling, as if it was wailing in pain.

The Little Medical Fairy waved her jade hand, and the giant flaming python pounced towards the puppets in front with an unstoppable momentum.

The puppets seemed to sense the approaching danger and wanted to hide, but the giant fire python was extremely fast and entangled them in an instant.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle", the moment the flame touched the puppet, it began to burn wildly. The puppet's hard body was actually burned gradually red, and wisps of green smoke came out.

The poison penetrated into the puppet's interior along with the flames. The puppet, which was originally able to move flexibly, became increasingly sluggish, and its joints became increasingly stiff as if they were rusted.

After a while, under the double erosion of the Netherworld's poisonous flame, several puppets could no longer hold on. With a few "clangs", they fell to the ground one after another, completely turning into a pile of lifeless scrap metal, unable to rise again.

At the same time, the battle on Medusa's side also entered a white-hot stage.

She had a graceful figure and her steps were light yet fierce. The long sword in her hand, which emitted a bright red light, became more and more dazzling under the infusion of fighting spirit. The red light on the sword seemed to dye everything around it with a layer of blood.

She saw the right moment, gave a delicate cry, and swung the sword in her hand violently. A sharp red fighting spirit blade shot towards the puppet in front of her like a rainbow piercing the sun.

Wherever the Dou Qi blade passed, the air was dyed a bright red, as if a river of blood was rushing in the sky.

With a "puff" sound, the red fighting spirit blade accurately cut the puppet's neck. The powerful force burst out instantly and directly cut off the puppet's head. The puppet's body shook a few times, and then fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.

On Qinglin's side, green light flickered continuously in his emerald eyes, and the three lotus patterns in the depths of his eyes were spinning faster and faster.

She formed seals with her hands and muttered something. After receiving the command, the two eighth-level snake-like monster pets attacked more fiercely.

One of the snake-like monsters opened its bloody mouth and bit towards a puppet fiercely, while at the same time spewing out a strong green fighting spirit. The fighting spirit wrapped around the puppet like a substance, instantly slowing down the puppet's movements.

The other monster flexibly wrapped its strong body around the puppet, continuously tightening it until the puppet could not move.

Qing Lin saw the right opportunity, flipped her jade hand, and a powerful green fighting spirit surged out of her palm. The fighting spirit gathered in her palm to form a huge palm print. Green light flowed on the palm print, and it seemed as if there were vines growing in it.

She pushed her palm hard, and a green palm print whizzed towards the controlled puppet.

With a loud "bang", the green palm print hit the puppet heavily. The powerful impact caused cracks to appear on the puppet's body. The green fighting spirit followed the cracks into the puppet, further destroying the puppet's internal structure. After a while, the puppet completely lost its ability to move and collapsed to the ground.

After a moment, Medusa and Qinglin cooperated more and more tacitly. Their offensive was like a surging wave, sweeping towards the remaining puppets one after another.

Every time Medusa swung the red sword in her hand, it brought up a brilliant red light. Her sword moves were fierce and ruthless. Wherever she went, the puppets could hardly resist.
Qing Lin commanded two eighth-level snake-like monster pets to constantly restrain and attack. Coupled with the mysterious and unpredictable methods of her Green Snake Three-Flower Pupil, the puppet was hard to defend against.

Under the fierce joint attack of the two, the last puppet was finally unable to resist. With a series of "crackling" sounds, it was pierced through the vitals by Medusa's sword. At the same time, it was hit hard by Qinglin's fighting spirit palm print. It fell to the ground and smashed heavily, raising a cloud of dust.

At this point, these troublesome puppets were finally completely dealt with, and the atmosphere in the hall, which was originally filled with murderous aura, also eased a little.

"Master, how did Qinglin perform? Did she satisfy you?" Qinglin took light steps, and after dealing with the puppet, she slowly floated down and landed steadily beside Xiao Ling. Her emerald eyes looked at Xiao Ling expectantly.

"Qinglin performed very well."

Xiao Ling looked at Qing Lin beside him, his face full of praise, and said with a smile,

"Not only has your cultivation level now broken through to Dou Zun, your strength has also been greatly enhanced. Moreover, you can control so many high-level snake pets to fight for you and let them assist you. In my opinion, if you exert your full strength, no one below the semi-saint can do anything to you."

In this Douqi Continent, Qinglin's Green Snake Three-Flower Pupil is considered the most amazing pupil. Such a rare and unique talent undoubtedly gives her unparalleled potential for cultivation. Even compared with the Little Medical Fairy who possesses the poisonous body, she should not be inferior.

Back then, the two of them started their cultivation journey at almost the same time, and the difference between them at the beginning was negligible. However, as time passed, the Little Medical Immortal's cultivation speed now left Qing Lin far behind.

Of course, the poisonous body has the natural advantage of being able to quickly improve cultivation by absorbing poison, and Xiao Yixian has indeed had many opportunities along the way, but the more crucial thing is the strict requirements that Master Yao Chen has on Qinglin's cultivation.

Yao Chen is a man of broad knowledge and profound background. His understanding of cultivation far exceeds that of Xiao Ling and other young people. He knows that haste makes waste. As for Qing Lin's growth, Yao Chen has always expected him to reach the level of Dou Sheng. He has a rigorous plan for Qing Lin's cultivation.

Under his careful guidance, Qinglin's control over the foundation of her own cultivation was perfect. Yao Chen asked her to refine every realm to the extreme, and only after reaching a flawless level could she proceed to the next breakthrough.

It is for this reason that Qing Lin's cultivation speed does seem a little slower than that of Xiao Yixiang, Xiao Ling and others.

However, everything has two sides. This seemingly slow cultivation process actually laid a more solid foundation for her.

Just like the deeper and more solid the foundation of a building is, the higher it can support in the future, this solid foundation will help her reach a higher ceiling in her future cultivation.

Of course, in order to lay a solid foundation, Yao Chen required Qing Lin to refine each realm to a level close to perfection, which did slow down her breakthrough, but this was only compared to the perverted monsters like Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian. Back then, Qing Lin was just an ignorant girl with no Dou Qi cultivation, but in just a few years, she broke through all the way and grew into the Dou Zun strongman she is today.

If such an amazing speed of cultivation were placed in the outside world, it would absolutely be amazing and legendary, enough to make countless practitioners fall far behind and feel inferior.

It's just that she is surrounded by people like Xiao Ling who are equally talented and powerful, which makes her brilliance a little obscured to a certain extent.

When Qinglin heard Xiao Ling's praise, her emerald eyes lit up instantly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing two shallow dimples, her face was full of uncontrollable joy and pride, and her already pretty face was even more charming.

She lowered her head slightly and said in a clear and pleasant voice with a hint of shyness and satisfaction:

"As long as the young master can be satisfied, Qinglin will be happy. In the future, Qinglin will work harder to cultivate and live up to the young master's expectations."

"Hey, girl, I don't know who you learned this temper from." Seeing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but chuckle, his eyes full of pampering. He reached out and gently rubbed Qinglin's little head, his fingers stroked Qinglin's smooth forehead, and smiled with some intimacy.

Qinglin tilted her head slightly, enjoying this rare moment of intimacy. She looked like a docile and well-behaved little snake girl, so adorable.

Xiao Yixiang and Medusa, who were standing beside them, naturally also saw the intimate interaction between Xiao Ling and Qing Lin.

The Little Medical Fairy looked at the scene, her lips slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile, then she chuckled and naturally looked away.

But Medusa was different. The moment she saw that scene, an indescribable sadness quietly spread in her heart, and then envy surged into her heart like a tide.

Somehow, an inexplicable desire suddenly emerged in my heart to replace Qinglin and stand beside Xiao Ling to enjoy such an intimate feeling.

But Medusa still let her reason take over. As soon as she realized this thought came to her mind, she was startled and quickly forced herself to suppress it.

She was secretly upset and thought to herself, "Damn it, why would I have such an idea? It must be the sequelae of the little Sky-Swallowing Python's soul that are causing trouble. This is really ridiculous."

As she thought about it, she frowned slightly, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across her face. She tried hard to restore herself to her usual cold and noble appearance, trying to completely bury the inappropriate emotions that had just occurred.

At this moment, a slight ripple appeared in the void, and then Zi Yan's figure slowly walked out from it and landed steadily in front of Xiao Ling and the other four.

She was seen holding a few scrolls in her hands, a proud and cheerful smile on her face. Her big eyes were sparkling as she looked at Xiao Ling and the others with a smile, as if she was waiting for everyone's praise.

"Hehe, these things were brought by me." Zi Yan raised her chin, her words full of pride.

However, after a pause, she pouted unconsciously, and her originally joyful tone was filled with a hint of disappointment, and she muttered:

"It's a pity that there are no heaven-level fighting skills in here. The highest level is only the advanced earth level. I thought that a figure like the Fighting Saint should have left behind a lot of good things, but it seems that it is still a little lacking."

After saying this, he sighed softly, as if he was not very satisfied with this harvest.

“Okay, girl, don’t be so ungrateful. It’s not so easy to obtain heavenly-level martial arts and fighting skills. If they could be found casually, there wouldn’t be so many people on this Douqi Continent flocking to them and yearning for them.” Seeing this, Xiao Ling couldn’t help but chuckle, and his words revealed a bit of helplessness.

As he spoke, he gently raised his hand and a gentle force instantly surged out, slowly extending to Zi Yan's arms, lightly lifting up the scrolls and steadily delivering them to Xiao Ling, where they floated in the air, emitting a faint light.

Then, Xiao Ling glanced lightly, and his spiritual consciousness quietly probed out, exploring the general situation recorded on the scrolls floating in the air one by one.

I saw that most of these scrolls recorded some high-level earth-level martial arts and fighting skills, which were priceless.

In addition, there are some records about other secret arts. Those secret arts are quite rare and each has its own wonders.

As expected, the method of refining a combat puppet was also presented on one of the scrolls. It was a pity that Xiao Diao was out traveling and was not around, otherwise Xiao Ling would have liked to discuss it with him.

"Xiao Ling, the Fighting Saint's skeleton seems to have reacted!" At this moment, the voice of the Little Medical Fairy suddenly sounded from the side. There was a hint of surprise and confusion in the clear voice, which instantly broke the slightly calm atmosphere at the moment.

When everyone heard this, they all looked over. They saw that the Dou Sheng's skeleton, which had been sitting high on the main seat, seemed to have triggered some kind of switch at this moment, and a vague regret slowly revived from the skeleton that had experienced the vicissitudes of time.

Looking inside the skeleton's empty eye sockets, which were originally dead silent, a little light began to condense. The light flickered and swayed, looking particularly strange.

After all, this powerful Fighting Saint has been dead for many years, and the erosion of time has long left no trace of vitality in his body. Even if his remnant shows signs of revival at this moment, it is not easy to make this body that is like a dry skeleton move quickly.

If there is no special material to support it, it would be impossible to do it just relying on that wisp of remnant thought.

"Don't worry, it's just that the Fighting Saint's skeleton has moved a little bit."

Xiao Ling had a calm expression, without any panic in his eyes. He was not particularly nervous about the sudden situation before him.

After all, he had anticipated this and knew clearly how to deal with this situation.

"I will have the Heavenly Demon Puppet interrupt its revival later. As long as we do this, we can rest assured."
