"Tsk tsk, your idea isn't bad, but what if I, this young master, don't agree."
Qin Yang's gaze became cold.
An old hag barging into the Mountain Villa, actually dreaming of obtaining his cultivation method, was pure fantasy.
Moreover, he was a Sword Cultivator, which was vastly different from the witchcraft practiced by this old demoness.
"It doesn't matter if you don't agree, we of the Black Witchcraft Race are most skilled at—Soul Searching. I'll beat you half-dead and then search your memories."
Wu Jiao laughed sinisterly.
"Heh heh, you old demoness, not only does your laughter sound terrible, but your brain also seems to have been jammed by a door. Although witchcraft and Daoist skills have some connection, they have largely diverged.
Witches worship the mysterious forces of heaven and earth, those thunder, gale, rain, snow, and the fates, while Daoists emphasize gaining power to oppose the heavens through one's own strength, going against the natural order. Trying to use Daoist skills to revive the glory of ancient witchcraft is simply unrealistic."
"Putting aside other matters, can you even understand this array of mine?"
Qin Yang's eyes carried a hint of mockery, sneering as he pointed to the glowing array below.
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiao, shrouded in a black robe, hesitated for a moment.
"Haha, this array is indeed very different from my Witch Race's rituals and soul summoning arrays, but whether it's useful or not, I'll decide after I search your soul."
Wu Jiao let out a cold, eerie laugh, her desire to obtain Qin Yang's Daoist technique undiminished.
"Hmmph, old demoness, you think you can search this young master's soul, but you better have the capability. Instead, I'll slay you here and now!"
Qin Yang let out a cold laugh, his expression icy, as he slowly raised the Jade-handled Dragon Roar Sword in his hand, pointing at Wu Jiao.
Buzz~!
Qin Yang channeled his spiritual power into the Jade-handled Dragon Roar Sword, producing a clear dragon roar as it emitted a brilliant ice-white light.
Swish!
Qin Yang's eyes turned icy, and without further words, his figure flashed at high speed, swinging the Jade-handled Dragon Roar Sword, slashing down a ten-zhang long ice-white sword aura towards Wu Jiao.
"Let this old body experience the orthodox means of your Daoist techniques."
Wu Jiao smiled sinisterly, unflinching in the face of the horrifying descending ice-white sword aura.
"Haha, come forth."
Wu Jiao waved her sleeve.
Swish!
A towering figure, over two meters tall, blocked in front of Wu Jiao.
Facing the terrifying descending sword aura, the figure didn't dodge, and instead, launched a fist as large as a bowl towards the sword aura.
Boom~!
The ten-zhang long ice-white sword aura shattered, and Qin Yang, holding the Jade-handled Dragon Roar Sword, tapped his foot in mid-air, retreating two steps before stabilizing.
Yet the figure remained barely unmoved.
Looking up at the towering figure, Qin Yang's pupils contracted sharply.
It was a figure with a body exuding a bronze-like luster, skin exposed seemed cast from bronze, hard and sturdy, with four stout arms and a tall form, eyes a dispassionate crimson.
"Corpse Puppet!"
Qin Yang's voice had a hint of horror.
Corpse Puppets did exist in the Immortal Yuan Continent, but they were rare, usually crafted by powerful Ghost Cultivators.
These Ghost Cultivators often used powerful cultivators' corpses to refine Corpse Puppets.
"This is a Copper Corpse Puppet. Was it refined from a living person?"
Qin Yang flashed a fierce look, staring at the black-robed old woman Wu Jiao.
"Haha, you indeed know a lot. This is indeed a Copper Corpse Puppet. Three years ago, I captured an Ancient Martial Artist who had reached the Innate Realm's Fifth Layer by cultivating physique power. I captured him and spent forty-nine days refining his body into this Copper Corpse Puppet in the Corpse Refining Furnace."
The black-robed old woman let out a cold, eerie laugh mid-air.
Upon hearing what the black-robed old woman said, everyone's backs felt a chill, even Qiu Mingyan, who had his arm severed by Qin Yang and was hiding behind Wu Jiao, had a change of expression.
"Though unfortunately, I was very careful during the refining process, but this Corpse Puppet seems to fall short of a true Copper Corpse Puppet. Perhaps his physique wasn't up to the mark."
Under the black fog, Wu Jiao shook her head, somewhat dissatisfied.
Upon hearing this, Elder Gu You, Elder Lei Tong, and others below broke out in a cold sweat. The method of refining living people was too ruthless!
"This indeed is a crude Copper Corpse Puppet."
Qin Yang's gaze focused.
The most basic Corpse Puppets are divided into three levels: Copper Corpse Puppet, Silver Corpse Puppet, and Gold Corpse Puppet.
A properly refined Copper Corpse Puppet would be equivalent in strength to a cultivator of the Immortal Spirit Realm, which is the Foundation Establishment Stage.
And the Foundation Establishment Stage is a true cultivator!
The strength is far from what he can match now.
If he hadn't seen that Wu Jiao's Copper Corpse Puppet was so crudely refined, even lacking basic runes, Qin Yang would not have actually dared to battle this old demoness.
However, this crudely refined Copper Corpse Puppet was a different matter.
"Besides, old demoness, you actually possess a space storage treasure."
Qin Yang's gaze locked onto Wu Jiao.
To summon such a massive Corpse Puppet, it was obvious this old demoness must have a space storage treasure.
"Heh heh, youngster, since you know this is a Copper Corpse Puppet, and that I have a space storage treasure, there must be things in your mind I want to know. I'm very interested in you."
The black-robed old woman let out a sinister laugh.
"Kill him!"
The next moment, the black-robed old woman's voice turned sharp, pointing at Qin Yang in the air opposite.
Swish!
The Copper Corpse Puppet slowly raised its indifferent crimson eyes, locking onto Qin Yang, and its massive silhouette charged towards him.
"Just a mere crude Copper Corpse Puppet..."
Qin Yang was about to deal with the Copper Corpse Puppet but suddenly had a new idea seeing it appeared.
"Just right, come on, this young master just advanced, my body hasn't been tempered, I'll use your Copper Corpse Puppet to refine my body."
Qin Yang let out a cold laugh, then retracted the Jade-handled Dragon Roar Sword into his Sea of Consciousness.
Buzz~!
Qin Yang activated the Nine Revolutions Star Technique, causing dazzling starlight to flicker on his skin, a beauty of sheer power.
Boom!
The Copper Corpse Puppet attacked fiercely, launching a fist as large as a bowl towards Qin Yang's face, causing a sound explosion in the air.
Creak!
Qin Yang also clenched his right fist, with starlight shimmering on it, meeting the massive bronze fist of the Copper Corpse Puppet directly.
Boom~!
The two powerful fists collided in mid-air, creating a dull sound as if the air rippled with power.
Thump thump thump!
Under great force, Qin Yang retreated several steps in mid-air, while the towering Copper Corpse Puppet only retreated one step.
"The physical strength is even stronger than mine."
Qin Yang stabilized his figure mid-air, feeling a slight pain in his right fist, but the light in his eyes brightened.
