Chapter 3923 4.1523 Without an Ounce of Effort
A shower of dirt and stones tumbled down.
Qiao Mu's eyes were cold and mocking as she looked at the few corpse puppets before her. She shook her head. "Too weak."
After having witnessed a Special Grade Corpse Puppet like Wei Mingli, encountering these few Advanced Corpse Puppets now felt like mere play.
Only a Special Grade Corpse Puppet like Wei Mingli could truly be a match for her.
At that time, the Startling Swan Dagger, a top-tier spirit weapon, couldn't even pierce Wei Mingli's skull with a single strike.
Only such corpse puppets were "fun" to fight. Otherwise, none of them were a match for Grand Mistress Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Mu flicked several defensive talismans out, covering everyone, then raised a hand and said, "Target their heads! No need to waste effort on other parts!"
"Yes!" The Purple Forest Guards responded in unison, eagerly lunging forward. Their swords and blades all aimed directly for the corpse puppets' heads.
These Purple Forest Guards were all formidable fighters, Spirit Realm Level 13 and above.
Compared to this batch of Advanced Corpse Puppets, which were only Level Two Advanced Corpse Puppets (roughly equivalent to the strength of human Spirit Realm Level 10 cultivators), they were no match for the Purple Forest Guards. As long as everyone protected themselves from being scratched, the combat process would naturally be without major issues.
The transformed corpses in the passage were dealt with in mere minutes.
A faint blue flame ignited between Qiao Mu's fingers, and without a word, she incinerated the creatures into ashes.
The group swiftly moved to the next section of the passage, encountering many more transformed corpse puppets along the way. The further they went, the more the dampness and chilling aura intensified.
Chen Shang suddenly raised her hand, stopping everyone, and pointed to a thick stone slab door ahead, whispering, "Young Mistress, look."
The stone slab door was surrounded by possibly over a hundred corpse puppets, all growling and clawing at the door, as if trying to tear it apart.
However, a faint, eerie glow covered the stone slab door, likely the power of a defensive talisman array.
These corpse puppets truly couldn't break through the door in a short amount of time.
Qiao Mu snorted coldly. "It seems the Mu family should be hiding in this rat hole."
"Roar, roar." A few corpse puppets suddenly discovered there were people behind them in the passage.
They turned their heads, their rotten, decaying faces making it impossible to distinguish friend from foe.
Perhaps many Mu family disciples are among these, Qiao Mu thought.
Her sharp, cold gaze swept over the creatures, and she calmly ordered, "Clear them all."
"Yes!" Dozens of Purple Forest Guards charged forward first. Xiaoye and Li Ye naturally didn't fall behind. Where their sword light passed, heads fell like chopped vegetables and split gourds.
Qiao Mu stood at the rear of the group battle, her keen gaze constantly sweeping over the corpse puppets. Whenever she saw an unusual one, she immediately pulled it towards her with a vine.
Her slender, pale fingers gripped a large spiritual hammer. Without a word, she dragged it over and smashed the corpse puppet's head flat in a matter of seconds.
Chen Shang, standing beside the Young Mistress, couldn't help but wipe the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, despite her admiration for the young girl's combat prowess.
Poor Mu family members. If they had had foresight, they definitely wouldn't have dared to provoke their young mistress.
Such a young girl, who would dare to provoke her for no reason? Do they want to die faster?
A quarter of an hour later, all the corpse puppets surrounding the stone slab door were cleared and unhesitatingly burned to ash.
Qiao Mu frowned, glancing at the remains on the ground.
Heavenly Fortune was indeed planning something big.
