Chapter 700: Animate Puppet Contract!

Han Che couldn’t help but frown as he looked at his replicas . He had never heard of this ability and didn’t know its characteristics . However, he had to pass them to get to Bai Xiaofei, therefore he attacked . Although the replicas could fight to some extent, their strength was at most one-third of the original . Before long, the three replicas collapsed .

At the same time, Han Che was terrified upon understanding the key feature of the triplets’ ability – it reflected part of the damage taken to the original target!

Han Che spat out a mouthful of blood after killing the replicas . This kind of direct damage to the internals was impossible to defend against unless one knew the principle behind it .

The fall of the replicas, however, was only the beginning . More came out from the mirror world and rushed at Han Che . This was the triplets’ plan, they wanted to slowly wear him down .

Han Che’s expression instantly grew ugly . Bai Xiaofei was massacring the members of the Jackdaw group while Golden Feather stood next to the triplets to protect them . He couldn’t stop any of them . It was only until this moment did he realize that Bai Xiaofei’s declaration earlier was not a joke .

“Retreat! Retreat immediately and go tell the leader what happened here!” Han Che shouted at the top of his lungs .

Those who were still alive stopped attacking in confusion . Then, they quickly understood the situation .

The remaining twenty people scattered and ran with all they had in different directions, which was the experience they had learned through countless life-and-death battles .

“Bai Xiaofei, you will die a terrible death! Hahaha!!” Han Che laughed in madness and summoned all of his puppets . In a surge of energy, the puppets trembled violently .

“He’s self-detonating!” Bai Xiaofei quickly reacted . He teleported to the Blood-Eye Fox and launched Invincibility, protecting her and the cubs under his body .

The next second, an earth-shaking shockwave spread and blew away everything in its vicinity .

Once the dust cleared, Bai Xiaofei-relit the origin lamps in the crypt . At the same time, the Starnet Brilliance on Leng Liuli dimmed .

Golden Feather slowly revealed herself from the flame wrapping her whole body . Although her strength had dropped to the Monarch Rank, it was enough to shield against the self-detonation of a Grandmaster Rank puppet master . However, the essence blood consumed to manifest the flame demoted her directly to King Rank .

“Boss! Sorry we are late . ”

The ‘A’ group arrived after the fight was over and was terrified by the deafening explosion . Their guilt was greatly alleviated when they saw that everyone was all right .

“We came across two Jackdaw members on the way here . Seeing something wrong about them, I took it upon myself to capture them . ” A’First reported as he shoved two frozen people to the ground .

Bai Xiaofei glanced at them and lightly uttered, “Kill . ”

A’First was stunned for a second before returning to his senses and walked to the two people . His light blue rope flew out and wrapped around their necks, sending them away from this world in an extremely painful experience .

“Was it the Jackdaw people just now?” asked A’First with a nonchalant look, not revealing a hint of fear or burden .

Bai Xiaofei understood that A’first was making a statement and this pleased him greatly . A normal person would never care to offend a big organization like Jackdaw, especially the ‘A’ group, a bandit group that was already shunned or hunted by everyone . However, A’First showed almost no hesitation when Bai Xiaofei had told him to kill the two Jackdaw members, which showed that his group was sincerely on Bai Xiaofei’s side .

“Yes, I basically just destroyed one of their squadrons,” said Bai Xiaofei indifferently .

A’First gasped . Although they arrived a little late, it had only been a few minutes . Wiping out a Jackdaw group squadron in just a few minutes? What kind of strength is that?!

He unconsciously looked around . The number of dead bodies confirmed that Bai Xiaofei didn’t exaggerate . A’First couldn’t help but gulp . It seems that Bai Xiaofei had been merciful to them during their first encounter!

“A part of them escaped?” A’First gathered his wits and asked an important question . It was a terrible taboo to allow future trouble to escape .

“Can’t be helped, their squadron leader blew himself up; I had to save our people . ” Bai Xiaofei didn’t mean to shirk responsibility . He also knew that it was wrong for him to do so, but if he encountered this situation again, he would still make the same choice .

“Oh well, maybe we don’t need to worry too much . There are definitely more than one or two eyeing the Jackdaw group . If they scattered, they may die at others’ hands . What you did may not get out, boss . ” A’First was optimistic and relaxed even faster than Bai Xiaofei .

Bandit groups lived their lives like there was no tomorrow . They wouldn’t think much about death until it was already up in their faces .

“Even if Jackdaw knows, there’s nothing he can do to me . He won’t be able to afford the consequences of me going all out . ” Bai Xiaofei shook his fist . Now he knew the importance of power . If he was an Exquisite Rank or if Illusion Demon had fully developed, he wouldn’t have to consider so much .

“What do we do now?” asked Leng Liuli . Now that their group was whole, going toward the roar was no longer their only choice .

“Find the exit . This place makes me feel very uncomfortable, and we should return first to seize the initiative . ” Bai Xiaofei had already made a decision, what was left was to find his way out . He then walked to Golden Feather and softly asked, “Senior, how are you?”

He could estimate Golden Feather’s condition through her breathing to some extent . At this rate, her life would soon be like an exhausted oil lamp .

“I’m afraid I won’t make it out of here, but I should be able to send you out . ” Golden Feather looked Bai Xiaofei in the eye as she gave an answer that shocked everyone . However, Bai Xiaofei had already anticipated it .

“No, your method would be to sacrifice your own life . Although I really want to get out of here, such a method will never be within my consideration . ”

Hearing Bai Xiaofei’s words, everyone was struck with realization, and the delight that had just risen in their heart vanished .

Without Golden Feather, they wouldn’t have been able to hold out until now, so the group had grown much closer . It was easy to accumulate feelings in times of crisis, especially a life-and-death one .

“What’s the difference? I’m going to die soon, I’d rather do something meaningful with my remaining time and at least I can guarantee the safety of my children . “ Golden Feather lovingly gazed at the two little phoenixes .

She was willing to sacrifice herself so that Bai Xiaofei’s group would take care of her children with even more care . After all, this was her last concern .

“In fact, there is something that I have long wanted to say, but I thought it was inappropriate before . Now should be the time to say it . ” Bai Xiaofei grew serious .

“What is it?” Golden Feather asked in confusion .

“Senior, if I can guarantee that you will survive, but your freedom may be limited a little, would you be willing?” Bai Xiaofei said .

Leng Liuli’s eyes widened . That’s right! You can sign an Animate Puppet Contract!

“What do you mean?” Golden Feather’s eyes lit up with hope, but the ‘freedom restricted’ part made her hesitate .

Then, Bai Xiaofei explained about puppet contracts and briefly described his ability, “The technique I cultivate has a strong healing effect, but at present, it’s only usable on me and my puppets, so this is the only way I can think of . ”

There was little self-interest for Bai Xiaofei in this proposal . He actually didn’t need Golden Feather’s ability as it was offensive-oriented, which was not something he lacked .

“Very well, I am willing to be your puppet,” uttered Golden Feather after a long silence . Everyone was excited to hear this .

Bai Xiaofei slowly moved towards Golden Feather .

“Please open your mind, otherwise, I won’t be able to bear the burden of this process . The gap between us is too big,” Bai Xiaofei said truthfully . He wasn’t sure that he could remain unharmed when contracting a powerful expert from a different world .

As Golden Feather completely relaxed, the formation representing the Animate Puppet Contract slowly appeared and enveloped the two . A connection was slowly established .

Bai Xiaofei revealed a pained look, but he had long been accustomed to pain . He gritted his teeth and endured the process until the formation faded . A brand was engraved in the souls of both parties . Then, his energy gushed out toward Golden Feather’s wounds .

“Starnet Stones!!!” roared Bai Xiaofei suddenly upon realizing his energy was insufficient .

The triplets hurriedly piled up the Starnet Stones from their rings next to him .

The Endless State was fully operational as Bai Xiaofei became a transit point for energy…
