The art of Puppet Fusion is a technique that drains a warrior’s vital energy and physical strength, allowing for a seamless integration with a puppet. This puppet, originally possessing the power of the first tier of the Yuanfu Realm, underwent a transformation when Ye Wushuang employed the Puppet Fusion technique. For a brief moment, it surged to the fifth tier of the Yuanfu Realm.

After dispatching Li Yuanye and Su Qing, Ye Wushuang showed no signs of stopping. His figure soared into the air once more, targeting Qin Fangbai and Qin Yansong. In that instant, the two ninth-tier Ningmai Realm warriors were utterly terrified. Li Yuanye had managed to repel the puppet, but Ye Wushuang’s use of the Puppet Fusion technique had caused a dramatic surge in power. He swiftly overcame Li Yuanye, a third-tier Yuanfu Realm warrior, and effortlessly slew Su Qing, who was at the first tier of the Yuanfu Realm.

With Li Yuanye’s death, their hopes were dashed.

“Ye Wushuang!” Qin Fangbai roared in anger as Ye Wushuang approached. “You will die! The Qin clan will never let you go!”

“Do not think that joining the Qingyun Academy will keep you safe. The power of the Qin clan is beyond your wildest imagination!”

Ye Wushuang, sword in hand, sneered, “How kind of you to worry about me.” With a swift strike, his blade cleaved through the air, and with a sickening *puh-chi*, blood sprayed as Qin Fangbai’s head was severed.

Qin Yansong, witnessing this scene, turned pale and retreated in a panic, attempting to flee. But how could he escape? Ye Wushuang appeared behind him, his blade piercing through Qin Yansong’s heart with a *puh-chi*. The two ninth-tier Ningmai Realm warriors met their end in an instant.

At this moment, Wang Hongsheng, Qing Zhonghao, and Shi Wenyao, the three city lords, were left utterly stunned. Was it really that simple? From the death of Li Yuanye to Su Qing, and then to Qin Fangbai and Qin Yansong, it had all happened in the span of a few breaths.

Meanwhile, Qin Yongda had lost all hope. Looking up at Ye Wushuang in the sky, he laughed maniacally, “Ye Wushuang, I’ll be waiting for you in hell!”

However, Ye Wushuang’s body spun around, and his eyes, hidden within the puppet, gleamed with a cold light. The Tianya Sword sliced through the void, reaching Qin Yongda in an instant. With a *boom*, he was impaled to the ground.

Only then did Ye Wushuang’s body slowly descend to the ground. *Crack…* The puppet’s surface began to crack like a clay figurine, shattering piece by piece until finally, Ye Wushuang’s true form was revealed. But now, he was drenched in blood, his skin cracked like ceramic, with blood still seeping through.

He swayed slightly, on the verge of collapsing, when a figure appeared by his side and gently supported him.

“Are you alright?” Xiao Yuan asked, looking at Ye Wushuang.

“I won’t die,” Ye Wushuang grinned. “What do you think? Even at the third tier of the Yuanfu Realm, I can still kill. Does that give you some confidence?”

Xiao Yuan was taken aback.

Ye Wushuang continued, “With that in mind, when we go to the capital, if anyone from the Xiao clan dares to lay a hand on you, I promise they will come and never return.”

Xiao Yuan nodded vigorously upon hearing this.

At that moment, Wang Hongsheng, Qing Zhonghao, and Shi Wenyao arrived. They no longer regarded Ye Wushuang as an emerging genius. The sheer power he displayed was enough to make even their three great families fear him. If they offended Ye Wushuang, they would surely meet their doom.

Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “Mayor Wang, I’ll leave the aftermath to you.”

“I’m going to take my family to the capital. When the Qin clan investigates, you must pin all the blame on me.”

Wang Hongsheng hastily objected, “How can we do that? This…”

“Let me explain,” Ye Wushuang continued. “I’ve been waiting for them to come after me. If you’re implicated in this, the Qin clan won’t even bother to look at you; they’ll wipe out your three families with a wave of their hand.”

“So, this matter must not leak out. And the way to seal the news… I think the three of you understand.”

Upon hearing this, the faces of the three city lords froze.
