Chapter 216 - Xue Tong's Corpse Puppet?

Xue Tong took out a two-meter tall stone coffin and its surface had deep marks that looked to be left behind by a sharp claw.

Seeing this stone coffin, the younger generation looked evidently bewildered and confused, while those who are pretty knowledgeable frowned. This kind of stone coffin was familiar to them, but they could not believe that it was actually taken out by Xue Tong!

"That stone coffin... Undying Corpse Sect?! Xue Tong is part of the Undying Corpse Sect?!" An aged voice shouted with a stunned look.

When the crowd heard the words 'Undying Corpse Sect', their eyes suddenly revealed a trace of horror and fear. All of them knew what that sect represented.

"What?! That bastard is actually someone from that sect?! Kill him! He might do something to the fourth prince!"

"Kill that bastard! Someone, please stop this fight! We have to kill that retard before he could do anything dangerous to the fourth prince!"

The crowd shouted furiously as they stared at Xue Tong who was now wearing an insidious expression as he held the stone coffin with both hands.

Xue Tong laughed disdainfully at the crowd before he shifted his gaze to the stunned fourth prince. "Are you surprised, Your Highness?" His voice sounded sarcastic and cold.

The fourth prince took a defensive stance as he stared solemnly at the stone coffin that Xue Tong held. He knew what kind of existence the Undying Corpse Sect was and he also knew that they are a group of deplorable bastards hated by everyone in the Profound Dragon Continent!

"So that's why you are confident in fighting against me. You have a corpse puppet and you are planning to use it to defeat me." Prince Dante uttered in a mocking tone.

Xue Tong merely laughed at this and he slowly opened the cover of his stone coffin. "Say what you want, Dante, but I will have your head today!"

The stone coffin abruptly opened, revealing an unsightly-looking monstrosity that looked neither human nor savage beast. The Demon Race might look better in comparison to the thing that lay inside Xue Tong's coffin.

It was a humanoid beast that had four bulky arms. Its head looked similar to that of a lion with a grim-looking horn on top of its forehead. This beast's claws were like bayonets that looked very threatening and sharp! A long whip-like tail could also be seen hanging behind it.

After this monstrosity emerged from the stone coffin, a nauseating smell assaulted everyone's nose. It was similar to the smell of a latrine pit that had rotting dead bodies in it.

"What a disgusting creature! Xue Tong is indeed a disciple of the Undying Corpse Sect! Only someone from that place would have a puppet as repulsive as this!"

"This person has guts! He actually dares to show-off his corpse puppet in front of His Majesty!"

Lu Sulan who was seated beside Jiu Shen was surprised when she saw this corpse puppet. It was similar to those corpse puppet that the elders from the Undying Corpse Sect brought the last time they tried to take her master's Earth Origin Dragon Tree. Although she had already discussed with Jiu Shen about the Xue Family's involvement with the Undying Corpse Sect, she was still surprised to see it in person.

The emperor stood up from his seat and issued a command in a cold tone. "Kill him!"

After he said those words, a few shadows suddenly emerged and swiftly jumped to the battle platform. All of them were wearing a set of embroidered black and silver robes with the insignia of the Silveria Imperial Family. These individuals were part of the emperor's secret force, the Embroidered Dragon Guards!

There were more than ten of them that surrounded Xue Tong and his corpse puppet. Each of them holding was holding a short sword that gleamed with a brilliant glow. Those short swords were Earth Weapons!

"Oh my god! Since when did Earth Weapons become a common thing?!"

"Who are they?!"

Everyone was surprised and confused at the sudden appearance of the Embroidered Dragon Guards, but they merely watched the scene with interest. They were waiting to see how Xue Tong would react to this group of experts.

Xue Tong glanced at the Embroidered Dragon Guards before he raised his head to look at the emperor with a defiant gaze. "Your Majesty, I have to thank you for giving food to my puppet. Kekeke." He chuckled eerily.

The emperor frowned at his words and he took one more look at the corpse puppet beside Xue Tong. He could not sense an ounce of true essence from this corpse puppet, but his gaze suddenly froze when he discovered its power.

"Shit! That's not his corpse puppet! Retreat!" The emperor shouted as he swiftly dashed towards the battle platform.

"It's too late! Kekeke!" A burst of cold laughter rang out just as the emperor was about to step towards the battle platform.

In front of him was the patriarch of the Xue Family, Xue Yangkai!

Xue Yangkai blocked the emperor's path as he eyed the latter coldly. "I've been holding back during the past few months! Now, I could finally avenge my son's death! I will start by killing you, Elyk! Die!"

Xue Yangkai leaped towards the emperor and aimed a fist right straight to his face!

Swoosh!

The air trembled as this 9th-rank Saint released a devastating punch!

The emperor was slightly taken by surprise at the sudden arrival of this person, but he immediately took out his Silver Wing Sword to block Xue Yangkai's punch.

The corner of Xue Yangkai's lips lifted to form a cruel smile.

He suddenly shifted his punch as his figure twisted in midair like a slithering serpent!

Hm?!

The emperor belatedly realized this surprising move and it was already too late for him to evade it.

Bang!

The emperor was thrown back more than twenty meters away after receiving a fierce blow to his stomach area!

"Shit! Help His Majesty! Kill that bastard!"

"Kill!"

Everyone from the crowd immediately stood up from their seats as they sprinted towards the emperor, but before they could even reach closer to him, they discovered that a group of black-robed individuals was blocking their paths!

"More people from the Undying Corpse Sect?!"

"Are they trying to usurp the throne?!"

Looking at this scene, Jiu Shen glanced at Long Meili who was beside him, and said in a calm tone. "Bring the kids back with you to the store. Make sure that all of them would be able to return safe snd unharmed."

Long Meili nodded her head solemnly at her master's orders. She then shifted her gaze to the stunned youths and beckoned them to follow her. "You heard the master. Follow me back to the store. You being here would only be a hindrance to master." She said coldly.

Yang Zenke and the others clenched their fists tightly upon hearing this, but they could not offer a rebuttal. Even Emperor Elyk who was recognized as a top expert of the Profound Dragon Continent was thrown away after receiving a punch, so what help could they offer when the enemies were so strong?

In the end, they could only nod their heads as they followed Long Meili out of the venue.

"Sulan, go with them. Reinforce the store and the beast fighting arena's defense." Jiu Shen said as he stared at Lu Sulan.

"Yes, Master." Lu Sulan bowed before she dragged her disciples away from the place.

The only ones left behind were Jiu Shen and the little girl in his arms. She was still sucking on that small bottle of milk as she watched the fighting on the battle platform. "Meow! Those people look funny. I want to bite them, but they smell even worse than horse shit..." She uttered in a disinterested tone.

On the battle platform, the corpse puppet that was unmoving just a few seconds ago was now destroying the Embroidered Dragon Guards like a wild beast. It tore their bodies apart, crushed their bones, and fiercely bit them with its sharp saw-like teeth!

"Your Highness, retreat to a safe place! We will cover your escape! Go!" An Embroidered Dragon Guard said the fourth prince.

Prince Dante wanted to shake his head, but when he saw that all the Embroidered Dragon Guards were already covering his escape route, he knew that he had to leave this place immediately. It was foolish enough to stay here and waste their efforts, so after a moment of hesitation, the fourth prince sprinted out of the battle platform.

Xue Tong's lips twitched when he saw the fourth prince running away, but he could not follow the fourth prince since he was still surrounded by another group of Embroidered Dragon Guards.

"Fuck that bastard! He slipped away! Dammit!" He cursed spitefully.

Jiu Shen stared at the corpse puppet with a calm look. "A body enhancer corpse puppet that is at the peak stage 9th-rank Saint..." He muttered softly.
