LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 390: I Don't Want To Lose Anyone
XueFang pulled back two of the puppets that held swords and spears, then took out another four.
This time, each of them was holding a sword. Right now, all her puppets are separated into many groups.
She created formations for cooperation so that they could attack together, and these four were one of them who could use their swords in sync. Their bodies had been modified to easily achieve this as connections were made on the array.
XueFang now only needed to give a few orders for them to perform complicated maneuvers together. Her strategy now was to use the four to overwhelm the creature after it escaped through the debris.
The narrow tunnel would also limit the area, allowing them to completely block the creature from moving forward. Based on her observation, despite being strong, the creature was just good physically without having any secret techniques or using qi-based attacks.
The problem was she didn't know how to kill it. Its body was robust and strong. Completely decimating it was out of the question.
Her other choice was to go to a battle in the inner world to completely decimate the creature's soul, but XueFang didn't have the confidence to win.
She was not Alex or MingYue with progenitor souls. There was a huge chance she would just lose her life or, worse, be taken over by the lingering will in the creature's body.
The rubble started shifting, followed by something coming out.
XueFang just wanted to make a move, but she stopped when MingHao suddenly dashed forward.
"MingHao, what are you doing?"
"Believe me, XueFang." He said, then appeared in front of the creature that was now trying to come out.
MingHao put his palm forward. A sphere of blue qi started appearing and growing in size quickly. It didn't take a second for it to grow to the size of a basketball.
"I hope this is enough," MingHao mumbled.
SWOSH!!!
The energy shot forward, blasting the debris to pieces. It was so bright that they couldn't see what happened to the creature.
But XueFang forcefully used qi to make sure her eyes were wide open looking at MingHao. She needed to make sure she could pull him back in time.
The four puppets moved forward to get closer.
The blast didn't last long; it was three seconds, but it completely obliterated the debris.
Seeing the result, XueFang's eyes squinted as what was left was not only an empty path; the creature was nowhere to be seen, but she didn't believe it would be this easy.
She squinted her eyes and then realized there was smoke that had a different color than the others; it was darker. If not for the fact that she had infused qi into her eyes, allowing her to see even in darkness, she wouldn't have realized it.
But soon, MingHao and YanYu could also see it. The smoke began to move, gathering together like it was alive.
"Dammit MingHao! Be careful; now I know why this creature's body was destroyed easily; he did this on purpose."
MingHao's eyes widened, and he quickly understood what the ancestor meant.
The smoke floated forward toward MingHao as he was the closest.
The four puppets slashed their swords, but it was useless. It was like cutting through the air.
XueFang could infuse more qi into the puppets, but she felt it would not be enough to do any harm to that weird smoke. She instead threw a qi thread to MingHao's back then pulled him.
Her eyes were filled with worry while her heart beat like crazy. MingHao was one of the few people that she thought of
as someone she could trust in her long life.
All this time, her only concern was her clan, and her special situation also prevented her from having any friends at all.
But things changed when she stayed in the BaiYue Sect, her job was lessened by a huge degree allowing her to have some leeway to do something else.

Then another miracle came, her body started growing. This made XueFang lower her guard, allowing her to start getting closer to others, and this included MingHao and his friends.
She also liked how MingHao saw her as herself and never bothered with unnecessary things like her status.
Unfortunately, the speed at which she pulled him back was not fast enough. The smoke flowed through MingHao's nostrils, entering his body.
"No! MingHao!"
At this moment, the rune on his forehead began to glow, green light shone, expelling the smoke out from him.
MingHao, who had already thought it was his end, felt a huge amount of relief. He also felt very thankful for his sister, as he knew this was thanks to something she carved on his forehead.
MingHao's iris glinted in a green hue; he stabilized his position, and Qi gathered on his fist. He then threw a straight punch toward the smoke.
SWOSH!!!
It created a sonic boom that pushed away all the smoke back deeper into the tunnel.
Despite this, he knew it was not the end. His mind told him the smoke could gather again, turning into a solid body.
But he didn't know if it was because of a movie he watched or if it would really happen. Whatever it was, they couldn't let their guard down.
"YanYu, don't leave my back, if you get possessed things will be more complicated." XueFang warned.
But there was no response, making her frown. She looked around and then realized something, she was too focused on MingHao that she failed to realize YanYu was missing.
She quickly screamed, telling MingHao what happened.
"Dammit! I am sure this is something with that creature." MingHao screamed in anger. He wanted to dash forward, but two puppets held his hand.
"XueFang, you cannot be serious?"
"I am not saying we should abandon her, but I am not risking your life over this…"
Her eyes glistened with tears, as she continued with a heavy tone, "I beg you MingHao, I don't want to lose anyone else."
Her words shut MingHao down, making him unable to form any retort.
