Chapter 77 Why is she so exceptionally talented?
While everyone was watching Cheng Peng being beaten one-sidedly, Gao Huohuo suddenly felt the puppet talisman attached to the skeleton move.
It seems that some force is fighting against the puppet talisman, and this force is not small.
It seems the puppet talisman has been broken; it's just a matter of time.
Gao Huohuo hurriedly called back her eighth senior brother and had Ma Jian take off his clothes, which she then threw onto Cheng Peng.
After completing this series of actions, Gao Huohuo led everyone away from the skeleton and casually stuck a talisman on Ma Jian.
Sure enough, after a short while, the skeleton broke free from the control of the talisman and looked around.
Sensing the scent of the person he had just disliked on Cheng Peng, he lunged at him again.
Without the puppet talisman's control, the skeletons are much more ferocious this time.
Cheng Peng, who was being chased, naturally sensed this and dared not be careless, so he recklessly threw out his magical treasures.
Gao Huohuo couldn't help but sigh, "These disciples from major sects carry so many things!"
With a wide variety of methods and a complete range of types, even with constant blood loss, Cheng Peng had treasures that allowed him to run for so long.
In contrast, Ma Jian is foolish and rich; he probably carries mostly spirit stones with him.
Perhaps the things he brought back were all on his good senior brother, otherwise how could Cheng Peng have held out for so long?
"Everyone, let's attack together! The skeletons have broken free of control, and the mastermind is about to arrive. If we don't take down the skeletons now, we'll be attacked from both sides."
Cheng Peng's words do make a lot of sense, but everyone's smart enough not to be stupid. Right now, the skeleton is only chasing you, so there's no need to waste spiritual energy.
Seeing that no one came to help him, Cheng Peng was already somewhat desperate. No matter how many treasures he had, he still needed spiritual energy.
In the long run, he was still doomed. As for the other four from his sect, although they rushed up, they were all a zhang away from him.
They were just pretending to follow him; after all, the skeleton wouldn't chase them.
Cheng Peng still thought that the skeleton was chasing him because it had been chasing him earlier, and that's why it was still chasing him now.
Only a few members of the Shadow Moon Sect and Ma Jian knew why the skeleton was chasing Cheng Peng.
But since he was so annoying from the start, he deserved it. As for Ma Jian, it's better for him to pursue his senior brother than Ma Jian himself.
Just as Cheng Peng was completely exhausted and about to give up, Gao Huohuo charged forward with her whip.
Having absorbed so much essence, Zi Ying was now at the point where her strikes would be most painful. A flash of lightning struck, and one of the skeleton's arms was severed.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gao Huohuo threw a talisman to immobilize the target, picked it up, and stuffed it into one of her own storage bags.
This filthy thing doesn't deserve to be in her storage ring.
Cheng Peng looked at Gao Huohuo with a complicated expression. He didn't understand why Gao Huohuo had come to save him.
He clearly wanted to kill her, and she knew it all, yet when no one else was there to help him, she rushed forward alone.
Was she trying to continue deceiving her naive junior brother? Or was she trying to win people's hearts and prove that his suspicions about her were wrong?
Gao Huohuo naturally wouldn't tell him that it was because Xiao Lingzi had just told her.
The bones on this skeleton are made of a special material, and it seems that there are other things hidden inside.
If she can hide all those things, then they might be the source of the power that sustains the skeletons in battle. Gao Huohuo definitely wants to take such a good thing with her.
Since we can't completely eliminate it, we'll cut it off piece by piece and take it away.
In the blink of an eye, Gao Huohuo had whipped the skeleton down to its bare torso. There should be the most hidden parts inside, but how did she manage to cut the skeleton into several pieces?
If we take her away as a whole, I'm afraid she might lose control. It's safer to split her up.
While Gao Huohuo was still pondering, little did he know that everyone who witnessed this scene was utterly astonished.
Is she really just a Golden Core Stage 1 cultivator? Or a Nascent Soul expert suppressing her cultivation level?
Why is it that, despite both being at the Golden Core stage, they could only be beaten when fighting skeletons, while she could turn skeletons into human sticks?
Is it because she's exceptionally talented, or are they just weaklings?
The skeleton had lost its two arms and two legs, leaving only its body and head wriggling on the ground.
This scene is both heartbreaking and somewhat funny.
But when they saw Cheng Peng being chased and completely unable to fight back, they knew that if they went up to him, they would probably be even more embarrassed, and their smiles instantly vanished.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, what should we do with this skeleton now?"
Once the first person spoke, everyone else looked at Gao Huohuo with agreement, clearly regarding him as their number one.
As for Cheng Peng, the original leader, although he is a disciple of the Fenglei Sect, his strength is insufficient, so he should no longer lead them.
"Does anyone have any magical artifacts that can cut the skeleton in half?"
As soon as Gao Huohuo finished speaking, a cultivator took something out of his storage bag and handed it to her, indicating that she could try it.
Looking at this thin bamboo strip in my hand, it looks like it would break if I tried to break it. I don't know if I can even manage it.
But since they had already handed her the items, Gao Huohuo had no choice but to go forward and try.
I first tried it carefully on the skull's shoulder, and to my surprise, just by gently placing it there, a large piece was cut off.
Wow, this thing is pretty good! It looks ordinary but it's surprisingly sharp. You can't judge a book by its cover!
In no time, he cut the skeleton into pieces, leaving only the head struggling with its mouth wide open.
If the skeleton had an expression at this moment, it would probably be eyes bulging with fury, its face filled with resentment that seemed capable of igniting the surrounding air.
The eerie green flames in his eye sockets flickered violently, and his jawbones clicked, as if emitting a silent roar.
Unfortunately, it has now been cut into pieces by Gao Huohuo. The key point is that even in this situation, the person behind the scenes can still hold back from coming out.
Gao Huohuo deliberately cut the skull into pieces in front of so many people in order to lure out the person behind it all.
But apart from the initial unusual movement of the talisman by the skeleton, there was no further activity.
This made Gao Huohuo suspect that the person behind this had abandoned the skeleton.
Did they still firmly believe that the skeletons would defeat them, so they removed the talisman and left?
With only the head remaining, Gao Huohuo found a rope, tied it up, and carried it in his hand.
Then he returned the bamboo strip to the cultivator and gave him a Spirit-Replenishing Pill as a usage fee.
Now, those cultivators who hadn't had a chance to help Gao Huohuo were all excited. This was a free spirit-replenishing pill!
After all, the girl had already said that she would no longer sell them pills.
That means there's nowhere to replenish spiritual energy on Purple Mist Peak.
Seeing Gao Huohuo start setting the place on fire, the other cultivators quickly stepped forward to help.
They were afraid that if they slowed down their fire, they wouldn't get Gao Huohuo's special attention.
Gao Huohuo didn't believe that after she burned down his house, that man would still hold back and not take action.
Sure enough, not long after the fire started, they saw the surrounding mist drifting towards them from all directions.
