I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Du Youqian had no time for reflection. Two Puppets, one from the left and one from the right, charged at them almost simultaneously.

This time, because he had also stepped into the Array’s range, the two Puppets targeted him and Feng Xiaoyi separately.

Empowered by the Array, both Puppets radiated an intimidating and powerful aura.

"Stall for time! When the other Puppet arrives, use your Charming Divine Abilities to enthrall them all at once!" Du Youqian transmitted via his Divine Sense.

"Alright!" Feng Xiaoyi replied, her expression serious as she removed her hairpin—her customary Treasure.

Du Youqian, for his part, wielded the Water Yu Sword. Sensing the Jinhuan Sword’s displeasure, he could only console it, ’I’m just playing with this one for a bit. I have to return it to the Chongzhen Sect later. You’re the Flying Sword that will always be with me, so don’t be jealous, okay?’

While sending this message to the Jinhuan Sword with his Divine Sense, regardless of whether it could understand, he skillfully used the Water Yu Sword to restrict his opponent Puppet’s movements.

At the same time, he kept part of his attention on the last, most distant Puppet.

He estimated that it would take another four or five breaths’ time to arrive.

But who would have thought that Feng Xiaoyi would suddenly transmit via her Divine Sense, "I can’t hold on! I have to use my Divine Abilities now!"

Du Youqian, of course, disagreed. "No! Hold on a bit long—"

Before he could finish transmitting his message, he felt Feng Xiaoyi unleash her Charming Divine Abilities.

The bad news was: they would have to face a Tier Four Puppet alone later, and the Charming Divine Abilities couldn’t be used again for a short while.

The good news was: at least Feng Xiaoyi hadn’t accidentally hit him. If she had Charmed him as well, that would have been a disaster.

Du Youqian didn’t have time to complain about Feng Xiaoyi. ’Seriously? You’re usually so capable. Claiming to have three thousand lovers is an exaggeration, but three hundred must be true, right? Yet when it counts, you can’t even last...’

He could only focus completely, managing to destroy the drive cores of both Puppets within a single breath’s time.

Then, without even a moment to catch his breath, the final Puppet was upon them.

Seeing this Puppet, Du Youqian finally understood why it had been so slow.

It was the size of a small mountain, with the body of an ox, the antlers of a deer, and the hooves of a horse—who knew how such a Puppet had been pieced together.

But as ugly as the thing was, its aura was undeniable. It was truly top-tier, especially with the Array’s empowerment.

The sense of pressure it gave Du Youqian was even stronger than what he had felt from the Bear Demon King Zombie.

"Master, are you sure you didn’t set me up on purpose?" Du Youqian was so angry he couldn’t be bothered to feign politeness toward Feng Xiaoyi anymore.

"My apologies, my dear disciple," Feng Xiaoyi said with an awkward laugh, knowing she was in the wrong. "Your Master isn’t very good at fighting."

Being pushed into such a sorry state by a single Puppet in just a few breaths’ time, forced to use her Charming Divine Abilities, was completely inexcusable.

The Puppet locked onto Du Youqian, pursuing him relentlessly. Du Youqian had no choice but to dodge in a sorry state.

Meanwhile, Feng Xiaoyi controlled her golden hairpin from the side, poking here and there, likely trying not to draw aggro while making her slacking off less obvious.

Du Youqian couldn’t be bothered to argue with her anymore.

Little Wukong let out a few "SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK" sounds, as if to ask, ’Need any help?’

Du Youqian shook his head slightly.

For now, he didn’t want to reveal this trump card in front of Feng Xiaoyi.

From the looks of it, Feng Xiaoyi wasn’t deliberately trying to sabotage Du Youqian; her combat prowess was just genuinely terrible.

But Du Youqian was skeptical. He thought she was just a good actress.

’She fought her way out of the Eight Desolates Hall in her youth, and she’s lived for over nine thousand years. How could she not be skilled in combat?’

But this was no time for conversation. He pursed his lips and focused on dealing with the threat.

Faced with this enormous Puppet, Du Youqian was at an absolute disadvantage.

To make an analogy, if his strength was 1, then the Puppet’s was at least 100. He couldn’t even block a single blow head-on.

Without redirecting the force or using his Copper Skin Iron Bones Divine Ability, even a glancing blow from this thing would break his bones.

The Puppet’s hide was incredibly thick, also at a Tier Four Level. It was no less durable than Du Youqian’s own body after activating his Copper Skin Iron Bones Divine Ability.

The Water Yu Sword could inflict some damage on it, but not much.

Because Du Youqian, who was wielding the Water Yu Sword, lacked sufficient Magical Power, even his unstoppable Broken Water Sword Intent couldn’t pierce its shell to deal a fatal blow.

Du Youqian had gradually figured out the Puppet’s Divine Ability: it spat out a black sand that could melt metal and dissolve bone.

’Its power... is decent, but not overwhelmingly strong.’

And it was fairly easy to dodge.

Generally speaking, the stronger the Divine Ability, the greater the consumption.

Thus, this Puppet didn’t seem to fear the cost of using its Divine Ability, having used it seven or eight times in a short period.

However, after Du Youqian nimbly dodged every attack with his Thousand Miles in One Line Secret Technique, the Puppet stopped using its Divine Ability. It was unclear whether it was conserving energy or had reached its limit.

Du Youqian’s counterattacks gradually became more frequent.

Unfortunately, the Sword Intent of Annihilate only worked on living beings.

Something without life could not be "Annihilated," which limited another one of Du Youqian’s options.

Still, Du Youqian didn’t panic. After all, he knew he had plenty of trump cards. He just needed to play it safe, find an opportunity, and destroy the Puppet’s drive core.

He hadn’t even used his Red Blood Seven Transitions Technique yet; he hadn’t revealed a sliver of his true strength.

Besides, if he really couldn’t win, he could use a Secret Technique to retreat, recuperate, and then return to challenge it again. He could even just use his Thousand Miles in One Line Secret Technique to escape and leave Feng Xiaoyi stranded here.

So, he was in a position where he could advance or retreat. He was just using this Puppet as a tool to hone his combat skills, while secretly observing Feng Xiaoyi to see if she was really trying to set him up.

On the vast plaza, Du Youqian moved with agility, leading the massive Puppet around and occasionally launching a surprise counterattack.

Feng Xiaoyi followed at a safe distance, her Treasure hairpin poking it every now and then.

The fierce battle was like a typhoon sweeping through, knocking over several pillars in the plaza.

Fortunately, the pillars seemed to be ornamental rather than supportive; otherwise, the entire underground space would be in danger of collapsing.

"Master, can you use your Charming Divine Abilities again?"

"I can’t!" Feng Xiaoyi said matter-of-factly. "Your Master is just an ordinary Core Formation Master now, not like you Sect’s Direct Inheritors!"

But even as she said this, she hadn’t given up. She was constantly trying to break through the Puppet’s weak point and attack its drive core.

"Dear disciple, it’s starting to falter! Can you restrain it for a moment so your Master can destroy it!"

"I can’t!" Du Youqian knew his own limits.

His most-used Secret Technique, Binding the Azure Dragon with Bare Hands, was completely incapable of restraining a Puppet of this level.

It would only cause a backlash.

His other control-type Secret Techniques, or single-use items like Talismans and Talisman Treasures, were not of a high enough grade. They would be useless against this Array-empowered Tier Four Puppet and would only disrupt his rhythm.

Feng Xiaoyi sighed faintly. "Then... let’s just wear it down slowly. Grind away its Demon Core. What a pity. I was hoping to leave its Demon Core intact so it could continue to be a Guardian for the cavern for another two thousand years."

Du Youqian didn’t respond, continuing to play it safe.

However, he deliberately acted as if he were gradually faltering and unable to continue.

He was trying to bait her out, to see if Feng Xiaoyi would do something while he appeared weak.

But to his surprise, and slight relief, Feng Xiaoyi never made a move against him, nor showed any intention of doing so. She just kept slacking, listlessly attacking the Puppet with her hairpin.

’Slacking is fine... as long as she doesn’t turn on me.’

After another thousand exchanges, Du Youqian finally decided to stop acting.

He transmitted via his Divine Sense: "I’ll restrain it for one breath’s time. Master, seize the opportunity!"

Feng Xiaoyi’s spirits lifted. "It’s about time!"

The Puppet charged again, lowering its head to ram its antlers into Du Youqian’s abdomen.

But Du Youqian activated his Copper Skin Iron Bones Divine Ability and took the hit head-on without moving—of course, it wasn’t a true tanking of the blow. Rather, he used his Golden Core to drive the instantaneous Voidification of his entire Essence, Qi, and Spirit, deflecting eighty percent of the Puppet’s power.

Then he wrapped his arms around the Puppet’s neck and used its momentum to flip it over his back!

He almost wanted to send himself a bullet comment: ’Beautiful suplex!’

"Now!"

At that moment, Du Youqian didn’t look like a proper Demon Cultivator at all, but rather a brutish Body Refining practitioner. After throwing the giant Puppet, he flipped over and mounted it. While the effect of his Copper Skin Iron Bones Divine Ability was still active, he raised his pot-sized fists and rained down a flurry of blows. THUMP THUMP THUMP.

Of course, this didn’t actually hurt the Puppet much, but he hadn’t intended to damage the behemoth himself. His goal was to restrain the giant creature for half a breath’s time.

Feng Xiaoyi did not disappoint. As he was pummeling the Puppet, she had already used her hairpin to pry open a piece of its skin. The hairpin flew inside and destroyed the Puppet’s drive core.

Du Youqian clearly felt the Puppet beneath him lose all power as its aura vanished.

He slowly stood up. He looked a bit battered, but in reality, he was completely unharmed.

Feng Xiaoyi looked at him, a charming smile on her face, but her eyes held a complex expression. "My dear disciple, your strength... it has already grown to this extent."
