Chapter 1655: Beaten Up by the Clone

"It seems I need to quickly improve my true qi cultivation..."

This guy is so arrogant, no one knows when he might erupt. I originally thought the witch soul would attract the heavenly fire tribulation, which could be used to kill him off. I never dreamed that not only would it fail to kill him, but it would make things even more troublesome!

I must quickly improve my physical cultivation and also attract heavenly fire, so that soul and body merge. Even if this guy is arrogant, he will surely be annihilated beyond existence.

"The Jiang family matter is almost over. It seems I need to return quickly, resolve the conflicts with the Luo and Zhang families, and then... go to the headquarters of the Master Teacher Academy!"

To advance quickly, I must go to the Master Teacher Academy and find the high-grade breakthrough method left by Master Kong. Otherwise, I don't know how many years it will take to break through.

"Before returning to the Zhang family, I'll refine the ancient saint corpse!"

Now that the witch soul has reached the Golden Body realm, its strength has increased several times. Perhaps I can smoothly refine that corpse into a golden puppet for my own use.

Thinking this, he entered the folded space again, came to an open area, and flipped his wrist.

Bang!

The corpse fell to the ground again, smashing a large pit.

The witch soul leaped out from between his brows and walked straight over.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

A tremendous pressure assaulted him, causing cold sweat to break out on his head.

Hum!

The soul emitted a dense golden light, and the pressure immediately lessened. He took a few steps and arrived before the corpse.

Whoosh!

He drilled inside.

"So big..."

As soon as he entered the corpse's interior, Zhang Xuan felt as if he had entered a spacious room, with no end in sight. His enormous soul body seemed like a toy here, insignificant.

Compared to this, his own physical body was like a thatched hut versus a palace.

Sitting inside, he used the method of refining a soulless golden puppet, slowly tempering and making the soul and body compatible.

After an unknown amount of time, he stood up again.

"It's been refined into a soulless golden puppet. Let's see if it can fight..."

Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.

The method of refining a soulless golden puppet requires a living human for better compatibility. However, after modifying it using the library, a corpse could also be refined. Although the degree of control was not as good as with a living person, the difference was not great.

Creak! Creak!

Using all his strength, he controlled the ancient saint corpse and slowly stood up.

He lifted his foot and took a few slow steps, then felt his face twitch.

This thing consumed too much soul power. After just three steps, the witch soul, which had reached the Golden Body realm, had already used up most of its strength!

At this rate, let alone fighting, it was hard to say if he could even throw a punch!

"Let me try..."

Gritting his teeth, he fully activated the remaining soul power, and the huge ancient corpse punched through the air.

Crack!

The folded space immediately trembled, making a tearing sound like a curtain being ripped open, revealing pitch-black cracks.

"So strong..."

Seeing that the folded space, which had been stable for who knows how long, was almost shattered by a single punch, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but be stunned.

Although this thing consumed an astonishing amount of soul power, its power was also tremendous!

This folded space, after his continuous arrangements, was hard to tear apart even for himself using Master Kong's blood and the Dragon Bone Divine Spear. Yet this corpse, with a light punch, nearly destroyed it...

Doesn't that mean... no matter how strong someone below the Ancient Saint realm is, a single punch could turn them into meat paste?

If that's the case, it's too formidable!

As long as I don't encounter an Ancient Saint, safety is absolutely guaranteed... Even if I do encounter an Ancient Saint, there's still the Book of Heaven's Path... Then I'll have another soulless golden puppet, greatly increasing combat power!

"Hehe, with this thing, what do I have to fear under the Ancient Saint realm!"

With a loud laugh, Zhang Xuan's witch soul flew out, absorbed numerous treasures to fully recover, then entered the corpse again, controlled it to put its hands on its hips, and shouted, "Clone, come out!"

The clone was consolidating its newly advanced cultivation. Hearing the shout, it flew over.

"Come on, let me have some fun..."

Ignoring the clone's attitude, Zhang Xuan grinned and threw a punch.

Not expecting him to already control the corpse, the clone was startled. Unable to dodge, it met the punch with one of its own.

Bang!

Whoosh!

The clone flew backward and disappeared from sight.

"Haha!"

Zhang Xuan felt an immense satisfaction.

Having fought this guy many times and always been on the losing end, he finally vented his anger and was in a great mood.

Let's see if he dares to show off in front of me again. If he does, I'll beat him to death!

However, while it felt good, the soul power consumption was huge. After one punch, it was almost depleted.

His soul left the ancient saint corpse and returned to his physical body. Just as he was about to take out treasures to recover, he saw the clone flying over furiously.

"You dare hit me? You're asking for death!"

Furious, the clone came up without a word and threw a punch at Zhang Xuan.

"It was the corpse that hit you, not me... Okay, I admit it. Let me recover first, then I'll enter the corpse and we can talk..."

Zhang Xuan's face changed.

"Corpse my ass!"

The clone didn't let him explain.

Bang bang bang bang!

Ten minutes later, Zhang Xuan's face was swollen beyond recognition, tears streaming down, his heart full of despair.

What the hell is this!

Can't beat his students, can't beat his girlfriend, the fetal poison acts arrogantly every day... I've put up with all that!

But now I've been beaten up by my own clone... and so badly...

How can I go on living?

Dejected, he returned to the main hall, circulated the Heaven's Path true qi to heal his injuries, and then walked out of the room.

The clone was a show-off and a violent maniac. He should minimize contact with it in the future.

Outside, it was already noon. After saying a word to Jiang Fangyou, Zhang Xuan took out the Dragon Bone Divine Spear, tore through space again, and quickly left.

He returned to the Zhang family.

"How is it?"

He had been away from the family for a day and a night. As soon as he returned to his residence, Zhang Xuan looked at Sun Qiang, who was approaching.

Before leaving, he had told Sun Qiang to keep an eye on the two families. Had anything stirred up after such a long time?

"Nothing stirred up. Because the Luo family's patriarch hasn't returned yet, the Luo family has been keeping a low profile these past two days!"

Sun Qiang quickly explained.

The Luo family came this time to humiliate them, but relying on their own cultivation, they couldn't do it. The only one who could, the patriarch, hadn't returned, so naturally they didn't dare to act rashly.

"That's good..."

Seeing that nothing had happened, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He dismissed Sun Qiang, hesitated for a moment, then moved his mind and changed his appearance again.

The disguise talisman Luo Ruoxi had given him was very useful. He could use it anytime. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to disguise himself so well in the Jiang family that even Jiang Fangyou and the elders couldn't see through it.

Under this disguise talisman, not only appearance, soul aura, and bloodline, but even strength appeared the same to outsiders.

It would be exposed during battle, but it was fine for appearances.

Since the Luo family was waiting for their patriarch, and now... it was time for the patriarch to appear!

Of course, the way he appeared would surely surprise them.
