Chapter 377: The Monstrous Fusion

ter and fire, ready to fight to the death.With a earth-shattering roar, the Demonic Infant Monk screamed as it rolled out of the lava. Its robes were tattered and riddled with holes, its body burned a...This Mohe blood toad's poison pellet attack wasn't just a powerful explosion; the resulting poisonous mist was nearly impossible to avoid. Even Lu Xia Tian could feel the domineering toxicity within it, a force that churned his breath and left him feeling out of control. Thankfully, he had the Hundred Poisons Pill on him, or else this hulking brute might have taken him down. Even with his mana forcefully suppressing the poison, his strength was significantly diminished, putting him at a disadvantage in the subsequent duel.

"Groan, groan!" After the massive blood toad landed on the ground, it propped its limbs against the surface and transformed into a red bloodlight. It opened its maw wide, lunging towards Lu Xia Tian with rows of sharp fangs. A stench of rot emanated from the toad's gaping mouth.

Lu Xia Tian's eyes moved, and he directly threw a few seeds of thorny vines and low-grade bloodsucking vines. However, the massive Blood Toad was very alert, realizing that the enemy in front of it seemed to have some plan for it. It opened its mouth wide and blocked these seeds outside.

A red shadow flashed across the sky. If not for Lu Xia Tian's sharp eyesight, it would have been almost impossible to notice this extremely subtle change.

With a clang, Lu Xiaotian switched to the Earth-Splitting Blade and directly slashed out with it, cleaving at the red shadow.

The Shaba warrior moved, soaring into the air. A red shadow in his hand transformed into a long, slender blade resembling ivory. It lacked an edge but had a row of sharp teeth along its side. The tip was also incredibly sharp, crafted from an unknown material. It caught Lu Xiaodao's earth-splitting knife without sustaining any damage.

“As expected, he’s quite powerful.” After receiving his blood blade back, Shaba chuckled. Glancing at the other side, Jinxian Shu, Bianse Xi, and a few others were fighting fiercely with the golden man puppet. Shaba's eyes narrowed, a sixth-rank peak puppet was indeed formidable, able to fight evenly with the combined efforts of his remaining disciples. Such powerful puppets were rare; he had encountered some puppet masters from Qianzhujiao before, but none as formidable as this. It seemed that the secrets held by the silver-haired youth were truly numerous.

Even though the golden puppet is powerful, it still has weaknesses. Without a spirit stone to power it, it's just a piece of scrap metal. Even though this silver-haired youth can control the puppet while fighting with all his might, as long as I keep him occupied, once the spirit stone inside the puppet runs out or my several incompetent disciples unleash their full strength, let's see how this silver-haired youth can resist.

Thinking of this, Shaba roared, "If you don't reveal your trump cards, what are you waiting for"

Upon hearing the roar of Sabaku, the straw hat man let out a cry and patted his beast pouch at his waist. A white light flashed, revealing a giant golden rat as large as a calf.

"Combine!" the Straw Hat man shouted, and the giant golden wire rat pounced toward him.

His body went fuzzy and he directly leaped into the Straw Hat Man's body. The Straw Hat Man, who was originally only at the middle stage of foundation building, saw his aura rise steadily, reaching the late stage of foundation building. His aura was like a human, yet like a demon.

The other man called the chameleon, also offered up a five-colored demon lizard as tall as a human. After merging with the demon lizard, his entire body changed color, his eyes and hair turned different hues, and he even grew a long tail behind him that seemed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding plants. If Lu Xiaotian hadn't seen this transformation with his own eyes, he would have thought the man had vanished into thin air.

Of the other three, two had transformed into bears, with thick black fur covering their faces and bodies like that of a bear. The other, a slightly more powerful late-stage cultivator, dragged behind him a long, sinuous python tail.

No wonder these people gave off such an eerie and sinister aura. It was all due to their cultivation of this perverse and evil technique. Lu Xiaoteng's heart skipped a beat, the five people who were attacking the golden puppet saw a surge in their power, striking the golden puppet repeatedly. If it weren't for the golden puppet's extraordinary defense, an ordinary late-stage cultivator would have likely been killed.

However, Lu Xia Tian knew that the golden puppet also had weaknesses, namely the slot where the gold spirit stones were placed. Once it was destroyed, this puppet would be scrapped and could only be used again after being repaired. In most combat situations, the enemy rarely has this opportunity. However, at this time, the burly man Sha Ba blocked him. If he allowed them to attack, even with the golden puppet's fierceness, facing these five people whose strength had increased dramatically, it probably wouldn't last long.

Lu Xia Tian frowned, and patted his spirit beast bag with the same motion. Although they hadn't rested for long, Di Kun's spirits were relatively better. If it weren't for the imposing figure of this burly man putting pressure on Lu Xia Tian, he would have wanted Di Kun to rest for a while longer.

"Roar!" The Flying Silver Corpse Emperor Kun appeared again. Sensing the eerie aura surrounding him, a burst of killing intent erupted from his body. His crimson eyes scanned the Maha Blood Toad, looking eager for a fight. Although extremely fatigued, he was still full of fighting spirit when faced with a threat.

However, Lu Xia Tian did not let Di Kun deal with the massive blood toad, but instead charged towards the five people attacking the golden man puppet. Although Di Kun, due to excessive consumption earlier, and unlike Lu Xia Tian who could take back heaven pills to quickly recover, was still able to handle two or three enemies with ease. With Di Kun's addition, the situation of the golden man puppet immediately improved.

The moment Shaba saw Dikun appear again, a greedy light flashed in his eyes.

"Very good, Di Kun has already weakened to this point, even using a peak level six puppet. I presume you should be reaching your limit as well." Sha Ba sneered with a sinister smile, his words barely halfway through before he shot out like a bolt of lightning. His shadow flickered, and he appeared behind Lu Xia Tian in an instant, his blood-stained blade aimed at the back of Lu Xia Tian's head. While envious of the fire dragon scales armor on Lu Xia Tian's body, Sha Ba also feared its might. He thought to himself that the other party had too many good things on them, and even with his blood-stained blade, it would be impossible to pierce through the defense of the fire dragon scales armor.

Almost simultaneously with the sandstorm's onset, the colossal Mohe Blood Toad sprang to its feet, charging straight at Lu Xia Tian.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Lu Xiaoteng let out a cold snort. Without the Yin Yuan Pearl, he didn't dare to use his sword intent as recklessly as before. The power of his attacks was terrifying, and even with the Huitian Dan's recovery speed, it couldn't keep up with the consumption. Now that this hulking man was making his move, he hadn't even figured out his opponent's methods yet, but he was already expending a large amount of mana. This was undoubtedly an incredibly unwise decision.

Moreover, at this time Lu Xia Tian was still holding Dong Fang Yi. That enormous blood toad, receiving the order from the burly man, charged towards Lu Xia Tian while attacking Dong Fang Yi.
