Qin Yao stepped back two steps, and, using his bare hands, reattached his severed palm, then promptly took an elixir out of his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth. freewebnσvel.cøm
After a simple circulation of energy, his palm grew back.
The elixirs in Wanhua Valley were numerous and incredibly effective, and, as the current Valley Master of Wanhua Valley, Qin Yao had plenty of miraculous medicines on him.
However, he truly had not expected that Ye Ming could still unleash Sword Qi after being struck by the thunder calamity.
He did not get angry but instead laughed, saying, "Stronger than I imagined, a perfect Human Puppet!"
"I was only caught off guard just now, by now you must be at the end of your rope."
"Becoming my Human Puppet is your ultimate destiny! Attack, let’s beat him half to death first!"
Qin Yao stepped back two steps and began to heal himself, while not forgetting to order his subordinates to continue their attack.
Two Elders leapt out and immediately launched an assault on Ye Ming.
A murderous aura burst forth from Ye Ming’s eyes.
Because she had been struck by lightning, Lin Mengdie’s clothes had turned into tatters.
He slowly rose to his feet, removed his own clothes, and carefully wrapped Lin Mengdie’s body with them.
Then, he said to Zhang Lingfeng, "Old senior, please help take care of her, and by the way, feed her an elixir!"
"Leave what’s happening here to me to deal with."
Zhang Lingfeng nodded and moved behind Ye Ming.
At this moment, Ye Ming continued, "Old senior, I might have to kill a few disciples of Wanhua Valley next."
Zhang Lingfeng immediately said, "Ye Brother, trouble you to clean up the remnants for me! Just go ahead and kill without restraint."
Ye Ming nodded once more.
Qin Yao snorted coldly, cursing, "You old bastard, since you’re turning your back on us, don’t blame me for righteous extermination of kin!"
After he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, several Swordsman-looking Human Puppets leapt out from all around, standing atop the walls, staring at Ye Ming with cold gazes.
They positioned themselves in the east, south, west, and north, pointing their sword blades at Ye Ming, waiting for Qin Yao’s command.
On the other side, of the remaining four Elders, two had already withdrawn from the fight and were cowering in a corner, directly laying their cards on the table for Zhang Lingfeng, indicating they had been coerced.
Zhang Lingfeng had no objections, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "To know one’s mistakes and correct them, that’s the greatest virtue!"
Qin Yao was furious at their desertion in the face of battle.
He immediately summoned the four Swordsman Human Puppets surrounding them, shouting, "Take out these two traitors first!"
The four Swordsmen nodded stiffly and instantly launched an attack on the two "traitors."
They were swift and nimble, likely Qin Yao’s elite Human Puppets.
At this time, Ye Ming also made his move.
Sword Qi, concentrated from True Qi, gathered in his hand, as he leapt high into the air towards the four Human Puppets.
Qin Yao bared his teeth in a smile, scolding, "Damn it, you still have strength left, well then, let’s take care of you first!"
"Eastern, Southern, Western, Northern Swordsmen! Kill!"
The four Swordsmen shifted their targets simultaneously, their sword blades aiming at Ye Ming.
Feeling the intense power, Ye Ming was quite shocked in his heart.
He had not expected these Human Puppets to possess such profound swordsmanship.
With two loud thuds, Ye Ming’s hands turned numb from the vibration, and the Sword Qi formed by his True Qi gradually dissipated.
Qin Yao chuckled and said, "You think you’re so tough? These four Swordsmen were prominent on the rivers and lakes thirty years ago, and I went to great lengths to subdue them."
"They are my trump card Human Puppets, my hidden weapons, but soon, you will be my trump card!"
Ye Ming snorted coldly, showing no fear at all.
He had just been promoted and his control over his strength was not yet thorough, which made these four swordsmen perfect for a practice run.
At that moment, he bellowed, "True Qi Spear!"
Whoosh!
True Qi started to gather in his hand once again, replacing the original sword blade with a long spear.
He then jumped into the crowd with his spear and began to swing it wildly.
Wherever the spearhead went, pangs and clangs were heard as the swords of two swordsmen were immediately sent flying.
He then turned the spear around and flicked away the swords of the two swordsmen behind him.
With the spear in hand, adding strength to length, he was like a tiger given wings, poised and ready to face them.
"True Qi Hammer!"
Ye Ming shouted loudly as the long spear in his hand once again transformed, the spearhead turning into the shape of a hammer.
The huge iron hammer flew through the air, striking a Human Puppet and emitting a dull thud.
After the thud, the Human Puppet instantly shattered into a mound of minced flesh.
"Having been a Human Puppet for over thirty years, it’s time for liberation!"
Ye Ming said coldly.
In a blink of an eye, of the swordsmen Human Puppets from the east, south, west, and north, one was already missing.
And the remaining three needed even less effort to deal with.
Without their weapons, they were as defenseless as ordinary people, no match for Ye Ming, who hammered them into mush with just a few swings.
After a short while, all four Human Puppets were reduced to pieces of flesh.
Qin Yao’s heart ached as if being twisted, angrily cursing, "You bastard, I’ll have you dead!"
"All elders heed my command, set up the Formation now; capture him!"
Qin Yao took out a Charm again and controlled it with True Qi, forming a barrier in front of Ye Ming that gradually began to enclose him.
He believed that Ye Ming should now be too weak to oppose them, making it the perfect time to refine him.
However, he thought too simply.
With a loud bang, just as the Formation was about to be completed, Ye Ming swung his heavy hammer and shattered the Formation.
Charms fluttered through the air, and the several elders who were controlling the Formation instantly vomited blood and stumbled backward.
"How can this be? Is your power inexhaustible?"
Finally, Qin Yao revealed a look of despair, staring blankly at Ye Ming.
But still, in his heart, he clung to the idea of turning Ye Ming into a Human Puppet.
Ye Ming’s strength had surpassed his imagination, and if Ye Ming could be transformed into his Human Puppet, submitting to him, he would undoubtedly be invincible.
Ye Ming slowly walked up to Qin Yao, looking at him coldly, and said, "Choose how you want to die."
"I..." Qin Yao gritted his teeth, the unyielding man intending to launch another sneak attack on Ye Ming.
With a swish, Ye Ming cut off Qin Yao’s entire arm.
The heart-wrenching pain made him scream loudly.
At last, he felt the fear of death and quickly begged for mercy, "Ye Ming, please, don’t kill me; we can negotiate everything!"
"Do you want Elixirs, or perhaps Divine weapons, I can give you all..."
"As long as you spare my life, all these will be yours!"
"Valley Master, don’t waste words with him, he’s not worthy to beg you for mercy!" Before Qin Yao could finish, an elder had already charged over.
Ye Ming simply raised his hand, slicing the man’s body in two, exploding into pieces in the air.
