Even though he had to exert a lot of effort to drag these armored corpses, the attributes they yielded weren't enough to cover the costs of his efforts.
Nonetheless, he didn't stop. Wang Teng continued to rush towards the armored corpses.
When you have the chance to fleece the sheep, you should take it.
One by one, Wang Teng dragged the armored corpses away, and the patrol of these corpses gradually dwindled. Yet, they remained completely unaware.
Wang Teng's mastery of the Shadow Puppetry Seal increased rapidly. It didn't take long for him to advance from foundation to well-versed.
Shadow Puppetry Seal: 500/5000 (well-versed)
Wang Teng closed his eyes and took a moment to sense his insights. He felt a very familiar sensation.
It feels good!
The feeling of rapidly mastering a certain skill was indeed very satisfying for Wang Teng.
Wang Teng smiled and prepared to continue.
But, at this moment.
Roar!
A thunderous roar echoed from the front.
Wang Teng stop in his tracks, his face showing a somewhat embarrassed expression.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Tong En and the others had been waiting for Wang Teng to return for a while, but instead, they heard the angry cries of the armored corpse. They exchanged puzzled glances.
"What happened?" Bi Yao asked after some hesitation.
"Did he provoke the armored corpses?" Tong En asked curiously.
"Very likely," Wan Dong suddenly chimed in.

"Should we go take a look?" Tong En furrowed her brow, expressing her worry.
"Maybe it's better not to. With our current strength, we might not be able to help much, and we could end up being a burden to him," Wan Dong suggested.
Tong En and the others were speechless.
They were being rejected!
"Well, that's not what I meant. It's just that these armored corpses are better handled by Wang Teng, considering his experience. None of us can do it," Wan Dong clarified.
"You don't need to say more. We understand," Yuan Bai sighed.
He felt a little disheartened, as he never thought he'd be told he lacked the strength one day. But, he couldn't argue with the truth.
Swoosh!
During their conversation, a figure darted out from the darkness and landed in front of the group.
"Run! Hurry!" Wang Teng appeared and urgently urged everyone to flee.
"Wang Teng, what exactly did you do?" Tong En couldn't help but ask.
"I didn't do anything," Wang Teng hurriedly replied. "Stop asking questions and run, or it'll be too late!"
Boom, boom, boom…
In the distance, there was a rumbling sound, as if a large number of armored corpses were charging towards them.
"Damn!" Tong En and the others couldn't help but curse. Without thinking, they immediately started running.
Although they couldn't see the situation in the darkness, they could easily guess what was happening in front of them. The sight of so many armored corpses charging at them was bound to be terrifying.
Oh my god!
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})They had no other option but to run.
While running, Tong En glanced back and saw a dark mass behind them, with armored corpses pouring out from various alleys, closely pursuing them. It made her turn pale with fear.
"Wang Teng, you know how to stir up trouble."
"It wasn't me. They suddenly went crazy. It has nothing to do with me," Wang Teng replied, also glancing back, his scalp tingling.
(ΩДΩ)
Damn it, where did all these armored corpses suddenly come from?
He didn't see any of them just now. How did they all appear at once?
That was scary!
The group continued to sprint in the darkness, putting in every ounce of effort, without daring to pause. In this intricate maze of passages, they zigzagged wildly, desperately fleeing for their lives.
However, the armored corpses were not losing their grip and continued to pursue them closely.
"What do we do now?" Tong En panted as she asked.
"Head over there!"
"Let's go!"
Wang Teng looked around, then waved his hand, leading the group towards the location where the Naga Race armored corpse had appeared earlier.
"If we charge over like this, we'll definitely draw out that Naga Race armored corpse," Tong En's expression changed slightly.
"I know, but I want to lure it out," Wang Teng said with a determined look.
"Are you intentionally attracting these armored corpses here?" Tong En seemed to have realized something, and she said with surprise.
"Erm…" Wang Teng's expression turned strange.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Did this senior sister misunderstand something?
The group quickly approached the location where the Naga Race's armored corpse had appeared earlier, which was a massive palace. According to Wang Teng's memory, this palace should be the central area of this place.
Before it got completely dark, they had seen the grandeur of this palace.
But, in the dark, they could only make out its enormous silhouette. As they got closer, a sense of eerie foreboding emanated from the palace.
Roar!
Suddenly, a furious roar echoed out from inside the palace.
Boom!
A figure emerged from the darkness, emanating a strong aura of decay. It charged towards Wang Teng and the others with a terrifying presence.
"Here it comes!" Wang Teng's eyes gleamed, and he pointed ahead, commanding, "Go!"
Golden streaks of light shot out from his body, resembling golden shooting stars, heading straight for the Naga Race armored corpse.
Roar!
The Naga Race's armored corpse let out a furious roar and drew the war blade from its waist, slashing it out powerfully.
The aura of Shadow Blade filled the air.
At that moment, the dark golden light was still midway through, but it rapidly converged and transformed into a divine golden phoenix, fiercely colliding with the attack.
Boom!
The collision of the two attacks created a blinding golden light, illuminating the surroundings.
Wang Teng and the others saw the palace clearly and found the entrance.
As the shockwaves of their Force spread outward, the ground bore the brunt, leaving a trail of destruction.
In this intense exchange, the durability of the ground proved insufficient to withstand the sheer force of their attacks.
Boom!
The Phoenix Golden Feather Blade dispersed under the enemy's blade, unable to withstand it.
The difference in power between Wang Teng and the Naga Race armored corpse was substantial, making the situation quite uneven.
"Fight!"
Tong En and the others shouted and attacked.
Yuan Bai rushed in front and a flaming shield appeared to block the blade glow from the Shadow Blade.
Boom!
Yuan Bai was directly knocked back, his body leaving a long trail on the ground along with the flaming shield.
Tong En and the others flanked from both sides and launched attacks with their Forces, leaving the Naga Race's armored corpse no room to breathe.
Wan Dong and the others joined in, cooperating with Tong En's group, all of them using their full strength. Their attacks landed on the armored corpses without stopping.
The combined power of over a dozen heaven-stage martial warriors was not to be underestimated.
The Naga Race corpse was pushed back, roaring in frustration.
At this moment, Wang Teng's Phoenix Golden Feather Blade reassembled and transformed into a divine golden phoenix, launching an assault once more.
At the same time, a battle blade appeared in his hand, and he swung it mightily. His Shadow Talent activated, gathering Shadow Power into a shadow blade imprint.
Wang Teng's control over the Shadow Blade was still at the foundation level, so he wasn't as proficient, but with the Phoenix Golden Feather Blade taking the brunt of the force in front, he had enough time.
The Naga Race armored corpse swung its blade again, and the shadow blade aura collided with the Phoenix Golden Feather Blades.
The Phoenix Golden Feather Blades naturally couldn't hold up against it, but Wang Teng's Shadow Blade followed. He skillfully avoided the Naga Race armored corpse's blade from the side, and his blade slashed towards its head.
The Naga Race's armored corpse was already restrained by the others so it couldn't react in time. Wang Teng's blade struck its head directly.
Splat!
The shadow blade aura left a mark on its forehead, cutting through the skin, but that was all.
This Naga Race armored corpse was at least at the universe stage in its living state, and Wang Teng's Shadow Power and Shadow Talent were only at the first level. He couldn't harm its flesh.
However, Wang Teng wasn't trying to damage its flesh. His target was the Shadow Puppetry Seal inside it.
He stared intently at the Naga Race's armored corpse, not knowing if his attack had any effect.
Tong En and the others didn't know what Wang Teng was up to. When they saw the seemingly weak attack, they were a bit puzzled at first, but they soon realized his intentions.
This fellow was just a cosmos-stage martial warrior!
Even though he had more techniques than the average martial warrior, he was still not powerful enough to contend with a universe-stage martial warrior.
"Wang Teng, can you handle it? If not, let us take over," Tong En shouted.
Wang Teng was speechless. He was underestimated.
"Move aside quickly; it's very dangerous," Tong En said again when she saw him standing there and blocking their attack angle.
Wang Teng: …
However, before he could respond, Tong En and the others noticed something unusual. The movements of the armored corpse in front of them seemed to have become sluggish.
It stopped attacking!
"???"
Tong En and the others were stunned. They looked at the Naga Race's armored corpse in front of them and didn't know what happened.
"Who just said I couldn't handle it?" Wang Teng remarked.
Tong En: …
