I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch
Chapter 612 - 612: 580. This is part of the plan

Unexpectedly to Yeli Xuanqi's surprise,

as soon as his furious rebuke descended, Xia Feng's figure instantly vanished from the spot in the cave.

A sense of imminent death assailed him in an instant!

Something was wrong! Just as Yeli Xuanqi felt a chill in his heart and was about to retreat,

three pairs of white hands unexpectedly emerged from the ground, firmly gripping his lower legs with a terrifying force. At the same time, what seemed like countless blood-colored things, resembling worms, spread out from the shadows on the ground, swarming directly into his soul.

"What— the—!" Excruciating pain caused his pupils to bulge, he wanted to summon his Soldier Puppet for help, but in the corner of his eye, he shockingly saw that the Soldier Puppet was also immobilized, just as it was turning its head.

That brat, unbeknownst to him, had appeared behind the Soldier Puppet, pulled the blood-colored long blade from the ground, and with a casual swing, the robust head of the Soldier Puppet flew off into the sky.

Even if it was just a Puppet, it was still of the Venerable One Realm, how could it be beheaded so easily?

Who the hell was this brat?! This was not at all what he had expected... In the midst of Yeli Xuanqi's shocked and desperate thoughts, he saw the flying head of the Soldier Puppet suddenly crack with numerous fine lines, like cracked ceramics, with countless lights overflowing from it.

Xia Feng had just sleekly sheathed his blade when suddenly he felt something was amiss. He instantly teleported behind Freya, embracing her and unleashing Miyamoto Tengu.

"Boom—!!"

The head of the Soldier Puppet exploded like a missile thrown into a cave, bursting into a mushroom cloud of terrifying flames, blasting a huge hole in the corner of the mountain wall.

As the smoke and flames dissipated, the cave had indeed turned into a bigger hole.

Xia Feng, holding Ms. Fu, retracted Miyamoto Tengu, and then saw the dismembered remnants of the Soldier Puppet and the utterly deceased, dismembered Yeli Xuanqi.

This left him somewhat speechless.

He actually hadn't planned to kill Yeli Xuanqi right away.

But looking at the situation, it seemed that the man, like a mechanical Puppet, had self-destructed before dying.

Of course, that wasn't the main point. The point was that the Puppet took its own master down with it...

Could it be it had assessed that it couldn't defeat me, so it took this mutual destruction approach?

Xia Feng was confused in his heart.

However, before he could figure out what was happening, he already heard a faint buzzing noise in his ears.

He returned to the cave entrance and gazed into the distance.

In the distant clouds, he could vaguely see countless specks rapidly approaching, growing larger, and soon, twenty spaceship-like military vessels appeared, their presence as imposing as dark clouds looming over a city.

"This is the King Lowering Army equipped with Divine Relics, the King Lowering Star. They generally only mobilize in the face of a Six-eyed Evil or a Venerate Third Realm Empire criminal."

Freya, hugging Xia Feng's neck from behind, whispered an explanation, "Under normal circumstances, this kind of army would also send one of the 'Six Guards' as the commander-in-chief, one of the six confidants of Lord Yeli Dong, each with formidable strength."

Hearing this, Xia Feng couldn't help but frown. Seriously, was it necessary to deploy such terrifying forces just to kill him, a small fry?

Something felt off.

In the current situation, he couldn't help but suspect that Lord Yeli Dong was setting a trap for him.

—Could it be that Lord Yeli Dong had long discovered he was Sirius and thus set up this scheme?

But... if it were a setup, then using his own wife as bait was really too costly, right?

Xia Feng's mind was filled with doubts.

Main battleship.

Jinyang Hong glanced at the Compass in his hand, momentarily stunned, somewhat surprised.

He looked gravely at the burly man beside him and said in a deep voice, "The Vitality Compass shows that Yeli Xuanqi is dead. Mr. Ba, are you certain this is part of Mr. Dongjun's plan?"

Ba Ji, whose frame was nearly two meters tall with bushy eyebrows and a broad face, his look fiercely righteous, nodded indifferently without a second thought,

"This is part of the plan."

Part of the plan? Jinyang Hong was hesitant inside, but he suppressed his questions.

And as the warship continued to approach.

A young man walked out of the charred crater, looking up in their direction, his arm cradling an unconscious woman with wine-red hair.

Upon first sight, without any superfluous words, Mr. Ba pointed toward the cave.

In Xia Feng's surprised gaze, right in the central guard of the warship bearing down from the Sky Dome, a red-hued sphere of light formed by a current slowly rose.

It was ten cubic meters in size, immensely huge.

And upon closer inspection, one could see that the sphere was filled with countless Sword Qi colliding and raging, the surface of the sphere billowing and contracting like unstable molten lava, ready to explode at any moment.

"Buzz——!!"

At that moment, ten magma-like red swords constructed of rock thrust out of the sphere, moving with a speed almost invisible to the naked eye, instantly striking towards the direction of the cave entrance!

Like a divine punishment from the heavens, the air was filled only with the dull sound of thunder.

Don't these guys negotiate at all? Just going straight to battle? Xia Feng felt a faint pain at his brow, sensing danger, his expression grew tense.

He could not tell if this was a staged match or if they truly wanted to kill him, so he had no choice but to deploy Miyamoto Tengu and flee in the opposite direction.

Jinyang Hong watched the distant figure in confusion, "The data records Xia Feng as only 19 years old, at best a Fourth-order Spirit Master. But have you guys made a Puppet with the strength of a True Martial Second Realm? Isn't that a bit far-fetched?"

Ba Ji shook his head.

Before leaving, he had asked Sword Heart, and Sword Heart had said that the Xia Feng puppet, crafted by the Alchemy Magic Box, upon activation and entering the awakened state, could indeed possess the strength to battle the Venerable One Realm.

As to why to endow it with such formidable abilities, Sword Heart said that it was part of the plan.

To not question further.

Sword Heart was Mr. Dongjun's most trusted guard, with the greatest authority among the Six Guards. Since Sword Heart said so, he naturally would not overstep.

To just follow orders was sufficient.

"Judging by this strength, I fear it's more than just the True Martial Second Realm; the speed alone could rival that of the Venerable Realm," Jinyang Hong said gravely, "Mr. Ba, are you sure this too is part of the plan?"

Mr. Ba nodded indifferently.

"Very well..." Jinyang Hong shook his head, his authoritative gaze looking into the distance, "What's the next part of the plan?"

Mr. Ba, also looking toward the fleeing Alchemy Puppet in the distance, said softly, "Next, it's my turn to take the stage."

Before leaving, Sword Heart told him to strike with full force and not to worry about whether the puppet would be killed.

He was somewhat puzzled by this directive; if they spared the Xia Feng puppet, allowing it to survive by a stroke of luck after being severely injured, then it could be used a second time.

To later utilize the puppet to commit another disgraceful act.

After all, this time it was but a simulated kiss, implying that next time, it could simulate He Huan.

With enough time between the events, although both are due to the lady's sense of disgrace, they indeed would count as two separate shameful incidents.

This was clearly the choice for maximal benefit.

Yet Sword Heart ordered him to strike with full force.

Even though he was of the Venerate Third Realm, as a prodigious figure of the last era, with various hidden techniques combined with the Divine Relic, the King Lowering Star, fighting a Venerate Four Realm would be no issue.

Therefore, Sword Heart's command was undoubtedly to kill and destroy the Xia Feng puppet completely, erasing any possibility of it being used a second time.
