Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master-Chapter 683 - 206: The Exchange of the Treasure Talisman in the Three Enclosures

Chapter 683 -206: The Exchange of the Treasure Talisman in the Three Enclosures

In the dense forest among the mountains.

Lin Bufan moved rapidly through the forest like an arrow leaving the string.

His toes gently touched the branches, and his green robe dragged a green trail in the morning mist.

Suddenly, the branches in front of him transformed into groups of snakes, colorful and all opening their mouths to bite Lin Bufan.

This sudden change was like Lin Bufan walking into a trap.

Lin Bufan’s eyes shot cold light, without a trace of surprise.

He stretched out his hand and pointed, and the green-tipped Flying Sword shot out like lightning, piercing into the “snake nest”.

In the next moment, countless green sword rays, like tender shoots sprouting from the ground, swarmed out, piercing and killing hundreds of colorful poisonous snakes.

The broken bodies of the snakes fell to the ground, transforming back into fragmented branches and leaves.

Gao Cuo’s voice came from all directions: “Friend, you take every one of my illusions so seriously.”

“Just like that, your mana consumption is far greater than mine. How long can you sustain it?”

His voice was filled with mockery and ridicule.

Lin Bufan snorted coldly.

It wasn’t that he was too honest, but the previous encounters had made him realize that these illusions weren’t purely false. Ignoring them would cause greater harm.

“I can sustain for seven days and nights.”

“But do you have the time to keep chasing me?”

Lin Bufan retorted.

Gao Cuo’s expression froze.

He had duties to attend to. The situation at the front camp of the Thousand Peak Forest Alliance had changed.

Lord Long had returned and reorganized the entire camp.

If he didn’t return for a long time, he could likely be deemed a deserter.

If that happened, it would be very bad.

Elder Jian laughed softly: “Little Gao, have you learned your lesson?”

Gao Cuo nodded slightly: “I made a mistake, after my first sneak attack on Lin Bufan failed, I hastily covered the battlefield.”

“It was that step that let Lin Bufan guess my intentions. Now he’s focused solely on fleeing, which is really annoying.”

“Elder Jian, when will you have the strength for another strike?”

Elder Jian sighed: “It will take two more days.”

“Even if I do, given the target’s nature and skill, it’s unlikely to have the same surprise attack effect as before.”

“Time is your biggest shortcoming.”

“The longer this battle drags on, the harder it will be for you to explain your absence, and it could attract other cultivators. Your fight with him might lead to further complications.”

“Perhaps, it’s time to retreat.”

Gao Cuo gritted his teeth, unwilling.

He was silent for a moment before replying: “Last time, the Evil God Bone of Bikong Mountain was taken.”

“This time, the Wood Fire is just as important to me. Should I miss it too?”

“Elder Jian, I will attack with full force next!”

Elder Jian chuckled: “This is your cultivation, naturally you take the lead. Since you’ve decided, then go all out!”

“Alright!” Gao Cuo responded loudly.

In the next moment, he exerted all his power, and seven illusionary clones spun out from his sleeves.

The illusions chased Lin Bufan from different directions, each burning with a purple-black flame, incredibly formidable.

Lin Bufan’s heart tightened, commanding the Flying Sword to circle around him.

The green-tipped Flying Sword moved extremely fast, drawing a circle in the air, destroying all the illusionary clones along the way.

But when it flew back to Lin Bufan’s side, Lin Bufan’s heart sank. He saw the Flying Sword eroded with many purple-black streaks, weakening his connection to the sword by more than half.

Gao Cuo continued his attack.

His real body spread like ink, within a few breaths, transforming into a rolling purple-black mist that enveloped a radius of ten miles.

Caught off guard, Lin Bufan was engulfed in the purple smoke, hastily activating his Magic Treasure for full defense.

In the next moment, the world suddenly cleared, and the purple-black mist abruptly disappeared.

Sweat dripped from Lin Bufan’s forehead: “What a formidable illusion! The forest just before the clash was exactly the same.”

He wanted to retreat but found himself moving forward.

Moving left, but ended up moving right.

“Is it an illusion, or has my sense of direction seriously malfunctioned?” Lin Bufan was pondering, when Gao Cuo’s attack suddenly came upon him.

Boom, boom, boom…

A series of loud explosions shook the heavens and the earth, Lin Bufan was covered in smoke and dust.

But in his vision, the world remained clear, the distant mountains and nearby trees unaffected and unchanged.

Ten miles of forest burning, Three Generals Camp.

Ning Zhuo infused his Divine Sense into the Jade Slip, reading Zhao Xi’s letter.

Zhao Xi greatly praised the Three Generals Camp and briefly explained the situation on the main force’s side.

After the Three Generals Camp left, a team of Nascent Soul Level cultivators infiltrated the battlefield to seize important treasures.

The main army naturally wouldn’t allow the enemy to steal their spoils right under their noses.

Thus, various generals were mobilized, and fought several rounds with the enemy led by the Twin Ghosts of Heaven and Earth.

However, in the end, the Ghost Cultivators still managed to take away two significant treasures.

The Twin Ghosts of Heaven and Earth demonstrated extremely strong overall strength in this confrontation, overwhelming the main army’s Nascent Soul Cultivators.

They were incredibly arrogant, even after being discovered, they still tried to destroy the dragon-shaped giant talisman deep underground.

Zhao Xi intervened at the crucial moment, using the national scepter, consuming National Power Bricks, and performed national techniques to repel the Twin Ghosts of Heaven and Earth.

“With this battle, the main army lost face, but Zhao Xi turned the tide and made a significant contribution.”

“Others are losing face, forming a stark contrast to the victory news sent from our Three Generals Camp.”

“Zhao Xi took advantage of this to suppress others and gained more authority… No wonder he’s so happy, he sent the rewards earned from battle ahead of time.”
