Chapter 1106: Chapter 1015: Yun Liao Poaches Talents "I even bought the bastard a drink once, almost introduced my cousin to him, and it turns out this animal was a plant the whole time." Du Duanfeng’s mouth was spilling blood as he cursed with a bitter grin, completely ignoring his own injuries.
Right after, Du Duanfeng kept swearing, "Alright, alright, quit howling like idiots. And you, shove those tears back in, I ain’t dead yet, and I’m not dying. Hurry up and lift me, take me to Yun Liao for treatment."
"Move!"
"Easy, easy!"
The Yin Yang Family disciples hurriedly and carefully lifted Du Duanfeng up, cautiously carrying him toward Yun Liao, while the others immediately spread out in the rear to stop the Puppets from catching up.
But Du Duanfeng’s mouth still couldn’t stay idle.
"Someone go check on that bastard Han Wei, see if he’s dead yet!"
A few people quickly raised their heads, looking toward the Xuan Court Pavilion crowd on the other side, where the Xuan Court Pavilion people were gathered around an area, shouting Han Wei’s name.
"Senior Brother Han Wei, wake up!"
"Senior Brother Han Wei, don’t scare us!"
Han Wei wasn’t in much better shape at the moment either. Because he had taken the full brunt of that infiltrator’s self-detonation head-on, he’d shielded the Xuan Court Pavilion people from the blast, but his own Spirit Body was severely damaged, and he’d directly passed out.
Just as they were about to treat Han Wei, the Puppet Tide gathered toward them again, scaring everyone into hastily lifting Han Wei up.
"Go, move!"
"Careful, don’t knock Senior Brother Han Wei!"
"You guys go first, I’ll stay back with Junior Brother Bai and the others to hold them off, block the Puppet Tide. If we all go together, none of us are getting out."
Several Xuan Court Pavilion disciples at the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression volunteered to stay at the very rear, their Meridian Gates buzzing as they charged straight toward the Puppet Tide.
They went in ready to die, because the number of Puppets was already in the thousands, and swallowing them would be too easy.
But Senior Brother Han Wei had taken a heavy hit and fallen unconscious to protect them.
The other junior brothers and sisters couldn’t stop this Beast Tide; only they could step up.
"Come on then, you little bastards from Sky-Shrouding Tower, you screwed me over this time, but don’t let me run into you next life!"
"Kill!"
The few of them roared and charged into the Puppet Tide.
Right at that moment, hundreds and thousands of streaks of silver light rained down, turning into long swords that swept across the thousands of Puppets.
Where the swords passed, the Puppets were all cut down.
In just a dozen breaths, over half the thousand-plus Puppets had been cleared out.
The Xuan Court Pavilion group felt a huge weight lift off their shoulders and all turned back to look, only to see Yun Liao’s Storm Sword Array already spreading over.
"We’re saved."
"Go!"
Seeing this, they quickly caught up with their fellow brothers and retreated backward.
With Yun Liao helping, pulling out safely was almost too easy.
These thousand Puppets weren’t even enough to get stuck between Yun Liao’s teeth!
Honestly, even a few thousand more wouldn’t be enough for Yun Liao alone to kill!
At the same time, Yun Liao’s Storm Sword Array flared up again, and he simultaneously cast Tier Three Earth Magic: Extreme Pressure, blocking almost all of the Puppet Tide chasing the Yin Yang Family and Xuan Court Pavilion.
Under Extreme Pressure, the Puppets at only the Lower Realm of Mountain Suppression didn’t even have the ability to run; every step became incredibly difficult.
When the Storm Sword Array came crashing down, they could only become fish on the chopping block, left for Yun Liao to butcher at will.
"Don’t move." At this moment, Yun Liao didn’t forget to warn the Immortal Sect disciples who were about to go out and receive the Xuan Court Pavilion and Yin Yang Family people.
He was afraid there were still infiltrators!
Originally he hadn’t planned to go all-out helping the Yin Yang Family and Xuan Court Pavilion people, because his responsibility was only to protect the disciples of the Immortal Sect.
But Han Wei and Du Duanfeng’s actions changed his mind.
The two of them had stepped up alone to block an infiltrator’s self-detonation for the sake of their senior and junior brothers. That sense of responsibility and courage was something Yun Liao greatly admired.
They shouldn’t die at the hands of infiltrators.
Despicable infiltrators weren’t worthy of killing them.
Without the Puppet Tide harassing them, the Yin Yang Family and Xuan Court Pavilion people reached Yun Liao’s feet in no time, but they didn’t get too close to the Immortal Sect crowd.
They all thanked him in unison.
"Many thanks, Elder Yun."
"Many thanks for Elder Yun’s life-saving grace!"
"Thank you!"
...
With the chorus of thanks, the two factions placed Han Wei and Du Duanfeng down to the side and all took out healing-type celestial materials and treasures from their Storage Rings.
But the battle of the Lifeless Tide had been going on for so long already that their healing and recovery celestial materials and treasures were almost completely used up, leaving only a tiny bit—not nearly enough to restore the two men’s injuries.
