Chapter 343: One Step Away

Gecko witnessed the tragic death of his brother with his own eyes, and he was stunned in shock. If it were any other disciple, this gecko would not be so out of control, but the young warrior who was killed by the corpse puppet was as close to Gecko as a brother.

The two were originally bandits in the chaotic land. Their strength was good among their peers, especially Gecko, who was good at tracking and chasing. He was valued by the leader of the Puppet Spirit Sect and accepted as a disciple, and personally taught them the skills and martial arts. The two had good qualifications, but because they did not enter the Puppet Spirit Sect at a young age, they did not learn any puppet control methods.

But after the careful cultivation of Puppet Zhong, their strength also broke through the muscle hardening stage one after another, so he ordered the two to follow Puppet Xiang and wait for dispatch. Before, Gecko spoke very rudely to his brother, which was also a habit developed over the years, and neither of them would blame each other for it.

But now seeing his brother die in front of him, and the death was so miserable, it was difficult for Gecko to accept it for a while. Being distracted at this critical moment, how could Zuo Feng miss this opportunity? The gray-black corpse puppet quickly pounced on him and hugged the gecko in an instant.

If it were an ordinary person, he would not be able to use such a move, but this was a corpse puppet, its body was a weapon, and it could kill people in any unexpected way.

When the gecko realized that he was hugged by the corpse puppet, it was too late. The corpse puppet's arms and legs wrapped around the gecko tightly when they touched him, making the gecko unable to move at all. The corpse puppet's arms had a force of more than a thousand pounds, tightly holding the gecko's arms, and the joints of its legs were twisted strangely, holding the gecko's legs tightly together.

"Ah! You little bastard, I will kill you. You will not die well, I will not let you go!"

The gecko also yelled and cursed like crazy at this time, constantly insulting Zuo Feng, and interspersed with his painful shouts. Zuo Feng ignored all this and controlled the corpse puppet to start exerting a little force. This group of people from the Guiling Sect did all kinds of bad things, and now they met Zuo Feng, which was their retribution.

Zuo Feng also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. With one death and one capture of the two people in the Quenching Tendon Stage, the scales of victory had unknowingly tilted to his side.

The gray-black arms of the corpse puppet slowly shrank, and the sound of bones breaking "crackling" could be heard. The young man named Gehu was still cursing at first, but later only howling and begging for mercy were left. Zuo Feng continued to control the corpse puppet with a cold face and continued to tighten it.

Gui Xiang saw all these changes clearly. He was not moved at all by the fate of the two men. He had never thought about revenge for the two men or saving Gehu with all his strength. He had now begun to retreat.

Originally, he was chasing with a group of people aggressively, and he was very sure to capture Zuo Feng back. But he didn't expect that he had to sacrifice seven men before he got rid of the siege of the Blood Wolf Gang. After much difficulty, he managed to stop Zuo Feng here, but in the end, he lost two warriors in the Tempering Muscle Stage in the battle, and now he was in danger.

The three of them had not been able to take down Zuo Feng before, and now only Brother Kui Xiang was left. He was no longer thinking about catching Zuo Feng, so he waved his Flame Sword twice in the air and prepared to retreat. But as soon as he moved, Zuo Feng had already stepped forward and turned around, and then blocked Kui Xiang's retreat.

"You"

Kui Xiang didn't understand Zuo Feng's intention at this time, and he subconsciously raised his head and shouted angrily, but he happened to see the cold smile on Zuo Feng's face, and he couldn't say the rest of the words.

The shouting of the young man named Gekko on the other side gradually weakened. His body had been rubbed into a mess by the corpse puppet, and was almost twisted into a doughnut shape under the terrifying power of the gray-black corpse puppet.

If you look closely, you can see that Gekko's head is weakly tilted to one side, and his breath is also very weak. At this time, broken internal organs are constantly spewing out of his mouth. His crotch was a blur, and blood mixed with filthy excrement was "squeezed" out.

This death made Zuo Feng feel a little disgusted, but he didn't think too much before, he just wanted to use the most ruthless means to get rid of the opponent.

Kui Xiang became more and more anxious as he watched, and the flame sword in his hand flew up and down, and he used those desperate moves. Originally, if Kui Xiang had acted so desperately earlier, his two men might not have ended up like this, and the result would have changed subversively.

But now everything is too late, because the two ordinary corpse puppets turned around and rushed towards this side quickly after killing the first warrior. Kui Xiang's retreat was blocked by Zuo Feng at this time, and the two corpse puppets rushed quickly from the back, and the situation immediately reversed.

Kui Xiang also really played with his life, and frequently used leg skills, palm skills and fist skills under the flame sword, and used his spiritual power crazily without hesitation. Although Zuo Feng was struggling to block it now, as long as he could hold on for a moment, the corpse puppet would come from behind Gui Xiang, and then Gui Xiang would be unable to deal with it.

It was not until this moment that Zuo Feng truly saw Gui Xiang's strength. He had to admit that compared with the average mid-stage bone refining warrior, Gui Xiang's strength was definitely the best among warriors at this level. When Zuo Feng faced Gui Xiang, he felt like he was facing a late-stage bone refining warrior or even a warrior at the early stage of tendon hardening.

Zuo Feng originally thought that as long as he had one or two good martial arts, it would be enough, and learning more would not be of much use. But now it seems that as long as the martial arts are used properly, learning more martial arts will give him some advantages.

At the same time, Zuo Feng also understood that this Gui Xiang was not extremely mediocre in talent. Being able to learn so many martial arts proved that his comprehension was not bad. However, this Gui Xiang seemed to focus all his energy on studying martial arts, which made his training speed not too amazing.

At the moment, Gui Xiang let go of everything and fought desperately, and Zuo Feng was secretly shocked. If other means were not mentioned, this Gui Xiang could really be regarded as a strong enemy of his.

However, Zuo Feng would certainly not fight him fairly here. The "fair fight" mentioned before was just to suppress the opponent in momentum. At that time, he was attacked by Gui Xiang and two warriors in the early stage of muscle hardening. If he could not overwhelm the opponent in momentum, then the battle would be more difficult.

At this time, the two corpse puppets had arrived and attacked Gui Xiang mercilessly. And the gray-black corpse puppet not far away had already thrown the "gecko" that had turned into a puddle of mud on the ground and rushed over here. Zuo Feng couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, because no matter what means Gui Xiang had, he would inevitably be defeated in front of him.

But at this moment, Kui Xiang suddenly dropped Zuo Feng, turned around and rushed towards the corpse puppet with all his strength. This move was obviously beyond Zuo Feng's expectation. He originally thought that Kui Xiang would break out from his side anyway, because going in the other direction would soon blow away the chaotic land, and there would definitely be no help from the Kui Ling Sect in that direction, so Zuo Feng didn't expect Kui Xiang to choose that direction to break out.

In the previous move, Kui Xiang seemed to be fighting with Zuo Feng for his life, but he didn't expect that he would turn his back to him and rush towards the corpse puppet. Because behind these two corpse puppets, there is another more ferocious Kui Ling Sect corpse puppet rushing towards this side, and choosing this direction is undoubtedly a bit of self-destruction.

But if the positions of Zuo Feng and Kui Xiang were reversed, I am afraid Zuo Feng would also choose this, because this might be the only way for Kui Xiang to escape.

Kui Xiang didn't care about damaging the corpse puppet at all, and attacked the corpse puppet with all his strength. His target was of course the broken corpse puppet with only one arm left. Zuo Feng was panicking but not in a panic. As long as the corpse puppet could block the blow from Kui Xiang, he could kill Kui Xiang calmly from behind.

But suddenly, the flame sword in Kui Xiang's hand shone brightly, and the flame on the sword body turned from the original red to a dazzling white, and the high temperature was even more terrifying. The flame sword was inlaid with several high-quality flame crystals. Zuo Feng did not expect that Kui Xiang would fully stimulate the high temperature in the flame crystals at this time, which would require more than half of Kui Xiang's spiritual power to be infused into it.

Kui Xiang was really fighting for his life at this time, and even desperately wanted to see the result with this move. Zuo Feng's heart tightened suddenly, knowing that the corpse puppet with one arm broken could not be saved, but he did not care too much, because even if the corpse puppet was destroyed, it could still stop the opponent.

The blazing white light of the flame sword chopped down fiercely with huge heat, and Zuo Feng controlled the corpse puppet's only remaining arm to block it. In the blink of an eye, the long sword hit the arm guard of the corpse puppet. There was no crisp sound of metal colliding, but a dull sound like a sword cutting into wood.

It felt like the long sword was only slightly blocked, and then it was directly cut off by the Flame Sword. After cutting off the arm of the corpse puppet, the long sword continued to go down diagonally, and then chopped on the head of the corpse puppet.

Zuo Feng also suddenly felt something was wrong at this moment. As the young master of the Puppet Spirit Sect, this Gui Xiang probably knew more about the corpse puppet than Zuo Feng, and naturally knew the weaknesses of the corpse puppet very well.

His long sword had been chopped towards the head of the corpse puppet from the beginning, but Zuo Feng only realized it at this moment. But now it was too late for Zuo Feng to do anything, because the long sword had already pierced through the head of the corpse puppet like cutting tofu.

"Ah!"

A painful roar came from Zuo Feng's mouth behind Gui Xiang. Even with Zuo Feng's tenacious character, he couldn't bear the great pain at this time. It's conceivable how great the impact on Zuo Feng was.

Zuo Feng now understood that Gui Xiang was not only aiming at the head of the corpse puppet, but also at the soul needle inserted behind the corpse puppet's head. Zuo Feng began to think that even if the other party destroyed the corpse puppet's head, at most it would make the corpse puppet completely scrapped. But the destruction of the soul needle would cause unimaginable damage to Zuo Feng.

Zuo Feng remembered that he had pulled out the soul needle of a disciple, and the disciple died directly in front of him. At this time, the destroyed corpse puppet and Zuo Feng were establishing a connection through mental power. At the moment the soul needle was destroyed, Zuo Feng felt as if he had also been hit on the head by a sword, as if it was cut open alive.

Gui Xiang didn't turn around until the long sword was completely cut open, and then slowly turned around with a smug smile on his face.
