iang Yun suddenly smiled and shook his head. "Me and Lao Hei aren't we friends now Since I can be friends with him, with Senior Brother's kind and helpful nature, there's nothing strange about him bei...In fact, Du Guirong didn't know that although it seemed like a tie, Jiang Yun at this moment was only using his pure physical strength, along with many other methods. He hadn't even used his Physical Dao Body yet.

However, Ginger Cloud's expression became increasingly solemn because he could sense that the strength of this medicinal puppet could also be further enhanced!

"Ho!"

Suddenly, the Yaokui opened its mouth and spat out a fire dragon that was several feet long. This startled Jiangyun once again.

Originally, he thought that the Puppet only relied on physical strength like him, but unexpectedly, the other party could actually cast spells.

Du Guirong sneered coldly: “This is the power of Yaakui. Although he was turned into a Yaakui, he didn't forget the spells he had cultivated.”

Seeing the fire dragon approaching, Jiang Yun no longer attempted to meet it head-on. Instead, he reached out his hand and grabbed the rainwater falling around him. In an instant, it transformed into a water dragon in his palm, rushing towards the fire dragon.

Next, Jiang Yun flicked his sleeves. The mist that had always hovered behind him like a cloak suddenly surged and engulfed the medicinal puppet.

Over these four months, although Ginger Cloud hadn't gotten into any fights with people, she didn't relax her cultivation in the slightest.

Especially now, with him unable to open the Twelfth Meridian, he no longer needs to worry about his cultivation level. Thus, all his energy is focused on spells and monster refinement.

The Cloud Heaven and Earth Technique has already become Jiang Yun's most powerful technique. When used, its power is more than twice as strong as it was before.

Adding to the current torrential downpour, causing water levels to rise, this technique of shrouding the sky and obscuring the earth becomes even more powerful.

Although it's far from reaching the level of being self-contained, within the mist, it can still allow Jiang Yun's strength to improve by another point.

With a flash of her figure, Jiang Yun also charged into the mist!

Actually, Jiang Yun was right in front of the Medicine Puppet, enveloped by a thicker layer of mist. Seeing several white bandages flying towards him, Jiang Yun raised his hand and made a grabbing motion towards the sky.

"Snap!"

A bolt of lightning fell from the sky, landing directly in Jiang Yun's hand and condensing into a fist-sized thunderball, which smashed heavily towards Yao Kui.

"Boom!"

The thunderball exploded, transforming into countless fine golden thunders that covered the body of the medicine puppet from head to toe, crackling and popping. When the thunder subsided, the medicine puppet's body had turned black as charcoal, with white smoke even billowing from its mouth.

However, under the heavy blow of the thunder force, the medicine puppet's eyes regained clarity and looked at Jiang Yun.

Du Guirong, enveloped in the mist, could not see what was happening inside. He could only hear the rumbling sounds coming from within, which made him pace anxiously outside.

A moment later, Du Guirong suddenly raised his head, looking at the swirling mist in front of him. His face showed a look of shock and he exclaimed, "The Yao Kui has actually regained consciousness! This can't be allowed!"

Du Guirong stamped her foot heavily, a small jade pendant appearing in her hand. She then opened her mouth and bit down hard on the tip of her tongue, spraying a mouthful of fresh blood onto the pendant.

The jade pendant was stained with blood, and within the fog, a deafening and heart-wrenching roar suddenly erupted again. It came from the medicine puppet!

The glimmer of lucidity that had just appeared in Yaokui's eyes gradually began to dissipate. His features and body were almost completely distorted into a grotesque shape, but at this moment, his full power was finally unleashed.

At least in Jiangyun's view, if he didn't summon his physical Dao body, he would most likely not be the opponent of Yao Kui.

It was such a painful inspiration for the Yao Kui!

Even as the aura emanating from the Yao Kui reached its peak, causing even the surrounding mist to thin, there was still a glimmer of clarity and longing in the Yao Kui's bulging eyes. It stared intently at Jiang Yun, uttering indistinct sounds: "Die, kill... me, let me die! Please, please!"

Hearing the sound of the medicine puppet and seeing its twisted form, Jiang Yun couldn't help but think back to the mantis from before.

If that mantis could speak, Ginger Cloud believed it would tell the Medicine Puppet the same thing.

Although one is a demon and the other a human, they are both controlled by similar methods, losing their freedom and becoming murder weapons in Du Guirong's hands. Yet, they both retain a glimmer of lucidity, yearning for freedom and liberation.

Although they are still alive, this way of living is worse than death. Yet, they are unable to end their own lives...

At this point, a thread in Jiang Yun's mind suddenly vibrated again, becoming stronger and deeper with each passing moment, as if it were about to blow his head apart.

Until then, the techniques of human Dao manifested silently and imperceptibly, gradually emerging without any control.

At this moment, Ginger Cloud's heart suddenly had an understanding, and blurted out: "Don't ask for it!"

To not desire hardship is one of the eight sufferings in the world!

And the Eight Suffering Arts, are also the magical arts contained within the human path. No one can teach them, they can only be personally realized through introspection. Therefore, the art each person realizes is different.

At first, Gu Bulao also let Jiang Yun go and reflect on his own, but Jiang Yun never had a clue and didn't know how to reflect.

Until this very moment, looking at the medicine puppet before him, recalling the mantis from before, he finally had a glimmer of understanding.

Neither can you survive nor die!

Oh, the pain!

"Roar!"

The last trace of lucidity and yearning in Yaokui's eyes finally vanished, his mumbled voice transforming once again into a beastly howl. He even dropped to all fours, leaping high into the air and charging towards Jiang Yun!

"Please, no, don't!"

Gazing at the medicinal puppet that was getting closer and closer, Jiang Yun muttered these three words in his mouth, slowly raising his hand, and pointing out with one finger!

At the tip of Jiangyun's finger, a vortex the size of a palm suddenly appeared. Within the vortex, shadowy figures flickered and images shifted.

Although unseen, if a third person were present at this moment, they would clearly feel the special power contained within this tiny vortex. It would awaken the deepest desires of their heart.

It's maddening, yet unattainable!

This is exactly what I don't want!

“I, will get it for you!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, the vortex at Jiang Yun's fingertips suddenly flew out, gently colliding with the Medicine Puppet's body. It was like a bubble that enveloped the Medicine Puppet.

...while Ginger Cloud could clearly see that on the medicine puppet within the vortex, the ferocious expression was slowly receding, replaced by peace and serenity.

But his body was also gradually fading away in this vortex, silently. When he was left with only a head, he suddenly turned his head and grinned at Jiang Yun.

Within the smile, there is a deep sense of gratitude!
