I started with Emperor Armor and conquered Infinity.

Chapter 137 Spirit Talisman, Minor Sword Control Technique, Puppet

In the vast desert bordering the two kingdoms of Huangcheng, the Ruolan Empire holds a formidable advantage due to its skill in using poisonous insects and other creatures.

Xiao Xiuwen and Yu Yufei were well aware of this, and they carefully planned the ambush area, determined not to let the enemy take advantage of this.

As the people from the Ruolan Empire stepped into the ambush, Lin Yao flung the mass-produced low-level attack talismans from his hand toward the enemy.

Let these guys know what it means to play like a rich guy.

Xiao Xiuwen, the eldest of the three, had his internal energy flowing like agile threads.

He formed a sword incantation with his hands and unleashed the Lesser Sword Control Technique.

This is a simplified version of the true sword control technique applicable to cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, like a sturdy bridge.

It can not only make cultivators more proficient in controlling the true energy in their bodies, but also lay a solid foundation for condensing the golden core, mastering exquisite sword control techniques, and even flying on a sword in the future.

The sword, controlled by the threads of his true energy, shot out at an astonishing speed, tearing through the air like a silver lightning bolt.

In terms of speed, it was clearly faster than the spirit talisman in rushing towards the enemy.

As the attack, composed of flying swords and talismans, hurtled towards the enemy like a surging tide, Xiao Xiuwen and his two companions moved with the agility of cheetahs, their steps swift as the wind, and pounced on the five members of the Ruolan Empire who were caught off guard by the sneak attack.

Yu Yufei, who is tall and has a neat short haircut, is highly accomplished in mental strength.

At this moment, he focused his mental energy on himself, as if injecting himself with an invisible propulsion force. His speed suddenly increased, and like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, he arrived in front of the enemy at the same time as the sky full of spiritual talismans and flying swords.

"This power is somewhat similar to the telekinesis that Alice awakened with the T-virus in Resident Evil, and it does have its own unique characteristics."

Lin Yao, who was behind Yu Yufei, felt a strange sense of familiarity after observing him for a while. He recognized that the power Yu Yufei was using, which resembled mental energy, was telekinesis.

Although this telekinetic power cannot compare to the profound cultivation methods in the cultivation world that involve constantly refining one's spiritual power, such as integrating spiritual power into the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, or even the external avatar of the Deity Transformation, it is still a formidable force.

Think of Alice from Resident Evil, who could influence space thousands of meters away with her mental power and directly destroy the satellites being monitored by the Umbrella Corporation.

Such destructive power is probably only possible to those who have reached the Nascent Soul True Monarch level in the cultivation world.

As Lin Yao was pondering and observing the surrounding situation, Yu Yufei's long sword emerged from the sea like a dragon, fiercely slashing at the weak point of the hastily defending enemy.

In an instant, the sound of metal clashing resounded all around, and sparks flew everywhere.

Because of Yu Yufei's mid-air slash, the two figures who were hastily trying to defend themselves were immediately thrown into a panic, and had no strength left to resist the whistling talisman coming at them.

Lin Yao casually tossed out several spirit talismans, which instantly transformed into wind blades, emitting a sharp whistling sound, and accurately embedded themselves in the right hands of the two enemies.

However, upon seeing this, a thought flashed through Yu Yufei's mind.

"As expected of a young master from a prominent family, he still harbors a woman's compassion on this cruel battlefield."

Leaving aside the brutal competition in the cultivation world, the struggle between nations is a life-or-death contest, and eliminating the enemy's forces is a fundamental principle for cultivators.

There are only three of us, while the opposing team has five.

If you fail to completely eliminate the enemy after you have already made your move, even the slightest mistake could lead to total defeat, which would be quite embarrassing.

If it were me, I would definitely kill it with one blow.

"But these two guys are pretty tough; they didn't even utter a sound when their palms were pierced by the spirit talisman wind blades."

Although Yu Yufei harbored some dissatisfaction with Lin Yao, he did not make excessive demands as he had been mentally prepared for the situation.

At the same time, a hint of doubt flashed through his mind regarding the reactions of the two voices, but he also knew that now was not the time to dwell on it. He prepared to seize this excellent opportunity to kill the two people in front of him in one fell swoop.

Just as he was about to press his advantage, the slower-moving talismans, still brimming with energy, came close, carrying a violent aura of vital energy.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be ice blade talismans and fire blade talismans. When the two met, it was like dry wood catching fire, and the collision was so intense that it seemed like an explosion.

Yu Yufei keenly sensed the dangerous fluctuation and, without hesitation, used his powerful telekinetic abilities to quickly move away from the dangerous area with unimaginable agility.

In an instant, ice and fire merged together, creating a violent scene of "two extremes of ice and fire".

"I'm confident I can take down these two, so why did you use your true energy to cause these two types of talismans to collide and explode?"

Yu Yufei was almost hit by the sudden explosion, and a surge of anger welled up in his heart.

He glanced fiercely at Lin Yao out of the corner of his eye, about to curse this "young master" and even considering whether to teach him a small lesson after the battle.

"Something's not right, these people..."

But soon, Yu Yufei noticed something was wrong. The ice and fire blades, forming a dual world of ice and fire, swept away like a surging wave.

It swallowed all five figures whole without them even making the slightest struggle.

Furthermore, there were three other figures engaged in fierce combat with Xiao Xiuwen, who was using the Lesser Sword Control Technique, and desperately trying to block his sharp sword light.

His movements were not significantly affected, except for some marks from ice blades and burn marks on his body.

As the aftershocks of the talisman's attack gradually dissipated, Yu Yufei noticed that the person he had attacked was shimmering with strange energy lines.

Upon closer inspection, it was clearly some kind of combat puppet.

He was a dangerous fellow who had been meticulously modified by the Ruolan Empire and whose body was coated with a deadly poison.

If you really get entangled in a fight with them, you might accidentally fall into their trap without knowing what's going on, and get killed in a very frustrating way.

On the other side, Lin Yao, who had finished controlling the talisman, looked at the scene before him with a calm and composed expression, without the slightest ripple.

With his powerful mental strength, he could naturally sense the unusual aura, but he hadn't been completely certain of it before.

Using some low-level talismans for probing attacks has indeed exposed these imposters.

Come to think of it, he had just had his palm pierced by a wind blade, yet he didn't utter a sound and his movements barely changed.

There may be such tough guys in the world, but you would never easily encounter one in such a small-scale battle.

"So these are indeed puppets derived from the array master lineage? Moreover, they incorporate the characteristics of the Ruolan Empire. If their strengths are similar, they will be extremely troublesome."

Lin Yao pondered to himself, his gaze focusing on one of the five figures, a hint of disdain flashing deep in his eyes.

"But in this situation, is that guy still pretending to be stupid? Does he really think others can't see through him?"

Lin Yao shook his head and made no further hesitation.

With a slight clench of his right hand, the true energy within his body gathered in his palm like threads, instantly coiling and forming a small true energy knife.

Then, mobilizing his powerful physical strength, he forcefully flung the Qi dagger away.

"call out!"

With the combined power of true qi and physical strength, the True Qi Knives shot out like cannonballs at an astonishing speed.

It even drew a white shockwave in the air, producing a deafening sonic boom, and shot swiftly toward the seemingly ordinary figure in the crowd.
