After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 116 Repelling the Core Formation Stage Cultivator

"So, you're Ye Xiaobai just because you own the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard? Old man, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm really not Ye Xiaobai, my name is Li Yunfei!" Ye Xiaobai still tried to argue.

"So you won't admit it, huh? You killed Zhao Deren, didn't you?" the old man said calmly.

Upon hearing Zhao Deren's name, Ye Xiaobai immediately protested, "I really didn't kill Zhao Deren!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Xiaobai immediately realized he was doomed; he couldn't argue anymore.

"You brat, you still say you're not Ye Xiaobai? How do you know Zhao Deren?" The old man immediately revealed a smug smile.

His face immediately turned cold, and he shouted, "You killed my beloved grandson Zhao Deren, Ye Xiaobai, you will die today!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaobai was immediately shocked. It turned out to be someone from the Zhao family. What a small world!

The old man was none other than Zhao Dahai, the patriarch of the Zhao family. He had gone out to attend an auction today and unexpectedly encountered Ye Xiaobai.

Without wasting words, Zhao Dahai immediately unleashed his killing move – the Raging Waves of Rock.

"The waves crash against the shore!"

All that could be seen was Zhao Dahai waving his hands forward, and a surging, endless blue spiritual energy wave instantly surged up in front of him!

At the same time, even the water-attribute spiritual energy that was originally scattered around him seemed to be summoned and rapidly converged into his hand.

In the blink of an eye, this spiritual energy condensed into a massive water column, as thick as the opening of a well, containing terrifying power and a vast amount of water-attribute spiritual energy.

Immediately afterwards, the huge column of water, like a raging dragon, roared and bared its fangs as it charged straight toward Ye Xiaobai!

Wherever it passed, the void seemed to be torn apart, stirring up gusts of violent air currents! And when this terrifying power truly approached Ye Xiaobai, it transformed into a monstrous wave, sweeping towards him like an overwhelming tide!

"What kind of technique is this? It can actually manipulate the water-attribute spiritual energy in the environment!" Ye Xiaobai was immediately shocked. This was the first time he had encountered such a powerful technique, even more powerful than his own Xuan-rank advanced technique, the Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon Technique.

"This should be the legendary Earth-rank beginner cultivation technique! It allows you to partially control the elemental forces in the environment!" Cao Yufei explained from the side.

Cao Yufei had already hidden far away, knowing that this battle was not something he could participate in.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaobai finally understood why Zhao Dahai's technique was so powerful—it turned out to be an Earth-rank technique!

Knowing how powerful his opponent's technique was, Ye Xiaobai could not be careless. He immediately used the Snow Flowing Cloud Step with all his might to barely get through. A large grove of trees behind him collapsed, and under the impact of the blue water column, a small ditch more than ten meters long was formed!

Looking at the mess behind him, Ye Xiaobai was greatly shocked by the damage caused by this Earth-rank technique, and his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would jump out of his chest.

"Good lad, your footwork is not bad, but I wonder how many times you can dodge!" Zhao Dahai sneered, then prepared to launch the next attack.

Ye Xiaobai immediately controlled the fifth-tier werewolf puppet and the purple flame thunder leopard to attack Zhao Dahai.

"Clouds swirl and dragons soar!"

Ye Xiaobai, of course, would not miss the opportunity and also activated his sword technique—Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon Technique.

The attacks, launched simultaneously from three different directions, poured down on Zhao Dahai like a torrential downpour. This sudden attack caught Zhao Dahai completely off guard. He had previously presented himself with an air of superiority and looking down upon all living beings, but at this moment, he completely lost that dignity and confidence.

However, as a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, Zhao Dahai's strength should not be underestimated. Despite being surrounded and facing a combined attack from nearly three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, he was still able to deal with the situation calmly.

He flashed away, dodging a sword beam that came straight at him; then, his hand gestures changed, and a shield appeared out of thin air, blocking a palm strike from his right.

At the same time, he muttered incantations, and a mysterious array appeared beneath his feet, trapping the enemies behind him within it.

In this way, Zhao Dahai moved freely amidst the flashing swords, each move perfectly timed, not only deflecting the opponent's attacks but also seizing opportunities to counterattack.

The battle was incredibly intense, as if the surrounding air itself was being torn apart. Cao Yufei was also deeply shocked by the scene.

Seeing that he could not defeat Ye Xiaobai in a short time, Zhao Dahai became anxious and immediately took out a treasure from his storage bag—a sixth-order flying tiger puppet that he had recently purchased at an auction for a large sum of money!

The puppet gleamed with a cold light and exuded a powerful aura, clearly indicating that it was an extremely powerful magical artifact.

Faced with such a formidable enemy, Ye Xiaobai naturally dared not be negligent in the slightest.

With a thought, he released the other three fifth-tier puppets he had previously acquired without hesitation.

Although these puppets are of a slightly lower rank, each one possesses unique skills and combat power, enough to contend with ordinary cultivators.

The situation on the field suddenly became tense.

Zhao Dahai drove his sixth-tier flying tiger puppet to pounce on Ye Xiaobai, while Ye Xiaobai commanded three fifth-tier puppets to meet the enemy.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle of puppets, with various spells and martial arts intertwined, creating a dazzling spectacle.

As the battle continued, both sides' puppets suffered varying degrees of damage.

However, Zhao Dahai's sixth-tier flying tiger puppet was ultimately stronger and gradually gained the upper hand.

Just then, Ye Xiaobai suddenly increased the control over the puppets, causing his three fifth-tier puppets to accelerate rapidly and their attack power to increase significantly.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Dahai was startled and quickly strengthened his control over the sixth-order flying tiger puppet, attempting to withstand Ye Xiaobai's attack.

However, Ye Xiaobai's tactics were very clever. He used three fifth-tier puppets to harass the opponent, keeping Zhao Dahai busy. With the help of the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard, he quickly found the weakness of the sixth-tier puppet.

Ultimately, thanks to Ye Xiaobai's skillful maneuvering, one of the fifth-tier puppets successfully broke through the sixth-tier flying tiger puppet's defenses, inflicting heavy damage on it!

Ye Xiaobai immediately tried to control the sixth-order puppet with his divine sense, but unexpectedly, Zhao Dahai only refined a part of the sixth-order puppet's control.

Ye Xiaobai immediately used his divine sense to temporarily seal Zhao Dahai's divine sense power, and then put the sixth-order puppet into his storage bag, intending to refine it later.

Seeing this, Zhao Dahai's expression changed drastically. Without the help of the sixth-order puppet, and facing the siege of nearly six late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, Zhao Dahai knew that the situation was hopeless.

It will be difficult to win if we continue fighting.

He made a quick decision to admit defeat and retreat.

Then, Zhao Dahai jumped onto the flying magic weapon and turned to leave.

"Ye Xiaobai, you're lucky to be alive today! I'll take your life another day!" Zhao Dahai said before controlling his flying magic weapon and leaving.

"Don't run away if you dare!" Ye Xiaobai retorted sarcastically, barely managing to stay awake.

Zhao Dahai ignored Ye Xiaobai and quickly disappeared into the distance.

Ye Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the side. Controlling four fifth-tier puppets in a high-intensity battle for a long time was too much for even Ye Xiaobai's powerful spiritual sense.

Taking out some healing pills, Ye Xiaobai struggled to sit up, swallowed the pills, and began meditating to heal his injuries.
