Chapter 1121: Xiao An, Wipe Them Out!

How could Ito Yunfei possibly tell her about the family’s top-secret modification plan and casually expose this matter? They would be condemned by millions.

Seeing there was no way out, she refused to speak with Gu Jin and ordered the Death Warriors at her side to fight to the death.

"All of you, go! Warriors who bring the medicinal catalyst back to the country, the Ito Family will treat you with the utmost honor."

At her words, the Death Warriors surged forward with unstoppable battle intent, crazily charging at Allen and the others.

The fierce battle between both sides erupted in an instant.

In the midst of the intense slaughter, Gu Jin and Ito Yunfei faced each other from afar.

Neither of them moved first, as if locked in a silent contest.

An Mingji’s cold gaze swept toward Ito Yunfei, looking at her as if she were already a dead person.

To him, this person wasn’t much of a threat, barely even qualified as an opponent.

He bent slightly and spoke by Gu Jin’s ear, "A Jin, leave this one to me."

"No need for you to act. I’ll do it myself."

As soon as Gu Jin’s words fell, she was already heading toward Ito Yunfei.

Her leaping figure was graceful; in a flash, she arrived right in front of Ito Yunfei.

Ito Yunfei was also a top fighter carefully trained by her family and would not be easily seized by Gu Jin.

Just as Gu Jin was about to touch her, she used the family’s Hidden Technique to vanish from where she stood. When she reappeared, she had retreated several meters away.

Spiritual Power gathered in Gu Jin’s palm as she pursued.

This strike was destined to miss.

Ito Yunfei was extremely cunning; her actual combat ability wasn’t strong, but her footwork in evasion was very agile.

Gu Jin tangled with her for a long while before finally finding an opening.

"Phoenix Spirit Technique, Ninth Form—Ten Thousand Spirits Unite!"

This was a single, sure-kill move.

Unable to match Gu Jin in their duel, Ito Yunfei was preparing to flee again when she was struck by the Phoenix Spirit Technique’s final move.

Myriad Spiritual Power pierced through Ito Yunfei’s body; it was as if every bone in her was shattered inch by inch, leaving her completely incapable of movement.

She fell hard to the ground in a fleeing posture.

The instant she hit the ground, she had already breathed her last.

Gu Jin had killed someone.

She had personally killed a former classmate.

The two hadn’t been particularly close, but they were, after all, people who knew each other.

This was still the first time Gu Jin had personally killed someone.

She could only blame the other side for daring to target Little An.

Regardless of their purpose, it was an unforgivable fact.

"Miss!"

Seeing their young mistress fall, the Short Country’s Death Warriors instantly fell into complete chaos.

Allen seized the opportunity to lead a siege, capturing all the remaining Death Warriors alive.

As for the nine Evil Puppets, it was as if some secret technique that had controlled them had been cut off; they had completely lost the ferocious attack power from last night and no longer took the initiative to attack people.

Allen led people to interrogate the captured Death Warriors.

Time trickled by, but unfortunately they gained nothing.

Allen frowned tightly and walked over to An Mingji and Gu Jin. "Family Head, everyone has been subdued, but their mouths are too tight. We can’t pry them open at all."

"Then take them back and slowly grind them down."

An Mingji’s tone was indifferent.

He had great faith in the family’s interrogation methods.

As long as they were living people, there would always be ways to pry their mouths open.

"Yes—"

An Mingji reached out and drew Gu Jin, who was still staring at Ito Yunfei’s corpse, into his arms.

Wrapping his arm around her waist, he bent close to her ear and said gently, "A Jin, we should go back."

"Mm." Gu Jin answered softly and shifted her gaze away from the corpse on the ground.

Just as everyone was preparing to leave, a piercing, eerie sound suddenly came from within the Short Country’s Death Warriors.

It was like a signal. The nine Evil Puppets that had been staying docile instantly had their eyes flash red the moment they heard it, and they began attacking the people closest to them.

Allen and the others had fought them before and knew they couldn’t meet them head-on.

"Retreat, everyone fall back!"

To avoid unnecessary casualties, he ordered his men to pull back at the first moment, even ignoring the Short Country’s Death Warriors they had just captured.

The nine Evil Puppets’ eyes glowed red; they made no distinction between sides, slaughtering anyone they saw.

One of the Short Country’s Death Warriors was even torn cleanly in half by one Puppet using nothing but its bare hands.

Thick stench of blood instantly spread through the air.

An Mingji held Gu Jin close as he kept retreating, moving away from the bloody scene.

Spiritual Power and Dark Ability alike were unable to erase these Evil Puppets; aside from wasting time on them, there was no other solution.

This was Gu Jin’s first time seeing the nine Evil Puppets in action in their ferocious state.

Whether their appearance or their savagery in slaughter, it all confirmed one thing for her.

They were exactly the Evil Puppets recorded in the books.

"Little An!"

Gu Jin suddenly called out to An Mingji.

"Mm?" The young man responded through his nose.

"With the Purple Qi in your body, see if you can subdue the Evil Puppets."

"How should I try?"

An Mingji had fought the Evil Puppets before; he could injure them, but couldn’t kill them.

Gu Jin said, "Circulate the Mystic Sky Technique, gather all the Purple Qi in your body together, let it serve you and become your blades."

"Okay!"

An Mingji loosened the arm around Gu Jin and walked a few steps forward.

As he moved, he silently recited the Mystic Sky Technique Heart Method. The Purple Qi around his body, invisible to the naked eye, began to slowly gather toward his hands.

Gu Jin opened the Heavenly Eye and saw the aura on An Mingji that no one else present could see.

In her eyes, An Mingji was already completely enveloped by dense Purple Qi.

Power gathered full in An Mingji’s hands. He fixed his gaze on one of the Evil Puppets ahead, and the force formed by Spiritual Power intertwined with Purple Qi shot rapidly toward the target.

The Evil Puppet was stained by the Purple Qi, and its movements halted.

The next second, a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering Puppet wail rang out.

Strange and hair-raising.

And the scene unfolding before their eyes was equally shocking.

They saw the Evil Puppet struck by An Mingji’s Purple Qi engulfed in purple-blue flames, its shrill wails echoing from within the fire.

In less than a minute, the Evil Puppet was burned completely to nothing by the purple-blue flames, leaving not even a trace of ash.

An Mingji hadn’t expected that he possessed such an ability.

This ability was even more terrifying than any Dark Ability.

Seeing this outcome, Gu Jin shouted loudly at An Mingji’s back, "Little An, wipe them all out!"

The familiar voice behind him snapped An Mingji back to his senses, and he responded.

Raising his hand, two blasts of Spiritual Power tinged with Purple Qi struck the two Evil Puppets that had the Short Country people trembling.

Even as the heaven-shaking Puppet wails rang out, An Mingji’s movements didn’t stop.

He seized the moment to release all the energy he had gathered, striking it onto each Evil Puppet.

In the blink of an eye, the nine Evil Puppets vanished from this stretch of heaven and earth, leaving not even a speck of ash behind.

The Short Country people saw this scene and still desperately tried to stop An Mingji.

They seemed to value these Evil Puppets greatly.

They had originally captured over twenty Short Country’s Death Warriors alive, but many had been killed by the Puppets, leaving only five survivors now.

Dawn had fully broken.

An Mingji instructed Allen, "Take them along. We’re heading back."

He stepped over to Gu Jin’s side, and what met his eyes was Gu Jin’s face brimming with a bright smile.

An Mingji’s lips curved as well; today’s unexpected harvest had put him in a very good mood.

He hadn’t expected that the fusion of the Mystic Sky Technique with his own aura would produce such tremendous power.
