Chapter 152: Flesh and Blood Puppet

The figure in the sea of blood became clearer and clearer.

Jiang Niannian focused her gaze and saw that the person’s body looked as if it had been soaked for tens of thousands of years.

His skin was stretched transparent and swollen, with faintly visible black-green pus beneath it.

His appearance was exactly the same as the corpse she had seen in hell the day before!

It seemed this was the so-called Heaven’s Will.

However, he had one more thing than that corpse—a pair of eyes.

A pair of eyes that Jiang Niannian was all too familiar with—Yin Buqi’s eyes.

Blood-red pupils!

Instantly, Jiang Niannian felt as if tens of thousands of sharp knives had pierced her lungs, shredding her internal organs.

These were Yin Buqi’s eyes.

These were Yin Buqi’s eyes!!!

How dare he!!!

“Jie jie jie jie jie…” Upon seeing Yin Buqi, the Heaven’s Will let out a sinister laugh.

“I was careless. I never expected that the sudden descent of the Emperor Jiuyin would be you, the defeated general I cast down from the heavens. You’ve got guts—not only did you not die, but you also crawled your way up from the eighteenth level of hell.”

Yin Buqi hovered above the sea of blood, his silver hair cascading down, a red mark between his brows like a cinnabar dot.

His sleeves fluttered gracefully, and his appearance was transcendent.

He remained silent.

At this moment, the Heaven’s Will noticed Jiang Niannian, who had been shielded behind Yin Buqi all this time.

His eyes widened, and his already hideous face became even more terrifying: “Why aren’t you dead? You should have been annihilated!”

“How unfortunate,” Jiang Niannian said, her white robes fluttering.

She narrowed her eyes and smiled, but her gaze was filled with killing intent.

“I took a stroll down the Yellow Springs Road and found that you, this abomination, weren’t there, so I came back to find you.”

“How thoughtful of you, the former Heaven’s Will—”

The Heaven’s Will was stunned for a moment, then twisted his face into a smile.

Dragging out his words, he pointed at Shen Yu’s flesh-and-blood puppet and said sinisterly, “This kid is really stupid. I just told him that if he killed you, I would help him revive Shen Susu… Shen Susu was turned into a yin spirit by Zhao Anming and then shattered. How could she still be alive? Even if her soul were intact, I wouldn’t be able to revive her. Hahahaha, who would have thought he actually believed it? He actually killed you! It’s hilarious!”

(T/N: Heavenly Dao=Heaven’s Will)

His divine power came from Jiang Niannian, so he couldn’t kill her directly.

He could only manipulate mortals to do it for him.

During the brief exchange, Shen Yu’s body suddenly trembled, as if in excruciating pain, and he tightly closed his eyes.

“Go—!!!”

His final words turned into a shrill scream.

When he opened his eyes again, they were completely blood-red.

“Shen Yu…” Jiang Niannian’s heart trembled, and she instinctively wanted to step forward to check on him, but Yin Buqi stopped her.

“Niannian, don’t go over. He’s not Shen Yu anymore.”

Jiang Niannian looked at the white silk ribbon on Yin Buqi’s face, then at Shen Yu, who had been tortured beyond recognition.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

“Heaven’s Will, you deserve a thousand deaths!” Jiang Niannian roared.

The Heaven’s Will wanted to say something more, but Yin Buqi had already flown forward, each move a deadly strike.

The Heaven’s Will wanted to utter a few more threats, but he didn’t expect Yin Buqi to skip the chatter and attack immediately, landing a heavy blow on him.

He fell into the sea of blood, dispersing into a mist of blood.

But in the next second, the blood mist coalesced back into a physical form.

At the same time, Shen Yu’s flesh-and-blood puppet suddenly moved, bypassing Yin Buqi and charging straight at Jiang Niannian!

“Seeking death!” Yin Buqi’s voice was slightly hoarse, tinged with bloodthirsty killing intent, fervent and mad.

He summoned a flower-shaped Netherfire from the void, and the flames landed between Shen Yu and Jiang Niannian, suddenly expanding to form a burning barrier.

Shen Yu crashed into the barrier, his flesh-and-blood body scorched into a bloody mess.

But soon, the blood from the sea of blood gathered as if alive, repairing his body where it had been damaged.

Behind them, there was a strange movement, and a sinister voice rang out: “You should worry about yourself first!”

A gust of fierce wind struck at Yin Buqi.

A flash of red light, and Yin Buqi drew a long sword from the void, severing the hand of the Heaven’s Will that had tried to ambush him.

Then, with another swing of his right hand—

“Thud!” The blade plunged deep into the Heaven’s Will’s chest, the force ruthless.

The Heaven’s Will flipped his palm, gathering a mass of blood from the sea of blood and stuffing it into the gaping hole in his chest that Yin Buqi had pierced.

“Heh, two against two. Fair, isn’t it?”

However, while the numbers were even, the difference in strength was too great.

Although Yin Buqi was a formidable fighter with extraordinary strength.

Jiang Niannian’s current body, after her rebirth, was only at the Qi Refining stage.

Now that the flesh-and-blood puppet had been completed, Shen Yu’s strength had greatly increased.

Moreover, the insane Heaven’s Will had transformed the Heavenly Realm into a river of blood, constantly using the power of the blood river to rebuild his body, greatly enhancing the strength of both the Heaven’s Will and the flesh-and-blood puppet.

This situation was very unfavorable for Jiang Niannian’s side.

Over there, Yin Buqi had already engaged the Heaven’s Will in battle, both of them fighting with all their might, each move deadly.

What’s more, Yin Buqi had to constantly divert his attention to protect Jiang Niannian.

Jiang Niannian clenched her lips tightly.

She didn’t want to hold Yin Buqi back, so she could only focus entirely on her battle with Shen Yu.

But essentially, all she could do was dodge Shen Yu’s attacks.

There must be something connecting the flesh-and-blood puppet to its master.

As long as she could find this link and destroy it, the puppet would no longer be under the master’s control, leaving only the Heaven’s Will as their opponent.

But where was this link?

Jiang Niannian pondered while dodging attacks.

She was being forced back step by step, and Shen Yu’s blood-red claws were about to pierce her throat!

Jiang Niannian’s pupils contracted sharply.

She couldn’t die.

Yin Buqi had used the reincarnation technique to bind their souls together, sharing life and death.

Although Yin Buqi had only told her that if he didn’t die, she wouldn’t die either.

But if she thought about it the other way, if she died, he might not be able to survive alone.

Moreover, she still had to spend this life with him.

How could she die so easily!

In a flash of lightning, she screamed: “Shen Yu!!!”
