    Chapter 95 The Snowy White Showdown

    After saying this, Bai Guchen was still immersed in the excitement of the successful experiment that day. But the next moment, as if realizing something, his face darkened, and his tone instantly became resentful: “But that old man had to come and make trouble, burying my first puppet alive!”

    Shen Yucheng listened, his expression complicated.

    He finally understood why a mere Crimson Puppet could make the Sect Leader gnash his teeth in anger. It wasn’t just an ordinary Crimson Puppet, but a living human life! Such a young child already had such terrifying ideas. If he hadn’t been stopped in time, wouldn’t this person turn the world upside down in the future?

    That’s why he was immediately locked up in prison.

    It was just a pity that things later took a wrong turn. It seemed that the Sect Leader hadn’t told anyone else about this back then. Otherwise, how could Yun Yan have actively gone into seclusion to protect Bai Guchen?

    Bai Guchen watched Shen Yucheng’s face change, and suddenly grinned: “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I’m hateful?”

    Shen Yucheng coldly stared back at him: “You can’t tell anyone about this.”

    Not Baili, and even less Yun Yan.

    Bai Guchen raised an eyebrow, and said with an indifferent look: “Don’t worry, after tonight, I don’t plan to let anyone leave here alive!”

    As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly attacked, aiming straight for Shen Yucheng’s vital point, moving as fast as a poisonous snake. However, just as his hand was raised, his movements suddenly froze. He looked down, stunned, and tried to break free, but only trembled.

    Shen Yucheng’s voice came slowly: “What’s wrong?”

    Bai Guchen suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of murderous intent, and roared through gritted teeth: “You bastard! What did you do to me!”

    Shen Yucheng blinked, his face expressionless: “Did you see me move? I didn’t do anything.”

    Just then, a breeze blew, the clouds in the sky dispersed, and the moonlight shone down, illuminating Shen Yucheng. A thin golden thread extended from his hand at some point, sparkling in the afterglow. The thread wrapped from his hand all the way to Bai Guchen’s wrist, so conspicuous it was dazzling, and so ironic it left people speechless.

    Bai Guchen’s eyes widened in disbelief: “Is… Puppet Control?”

    Shen Yucheng’s voice was unhurried: “It took a little longer than I expected. Fortunately, you were immersed in your fantasies just now, giving me the opportunity.”

    That golden thread had been stuck to Bai Guchen from beginning to end. Shen Yucheng had deliberately delayed and changed the subject in order to slowly strike. If it were an ordinary cultivator with low cultivation, he could be controlled with a single touch, but Bai Guchen was different, so it took time to slowly penetrate.

    Bai Guchen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Shen Yucheng preemptively ordered: “Shut up, now retreat, walk out of the blood formation.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Guchen’s feet really started moving on their own, steadily walking out of the blood formation.

    Bai Guchen wanted to speak, but couldn’t make a sound, and could only turn his head slightly, his eyes full of horror.

    He experienced the terror of the Puppet Dao for the first time.

    Once controlled, even life and death no longer belonged to him. Now, he could only be manipulated by Shen Yucheng.

    The three people outside the formation were already waiting, ready to dispel the formation as soon as Bai Guchen stepped out of the blood formation.

    Seeing that Bai Guchen had been completely controlled, Shen Yucheng didn’t feel at ease. Bai Guchen wasn’t the type to obediently submit, he was very clever, too calculating, how could he be captured so easily?

    Just as he was thinking this, Bai Guchen’s feet had reached the edge of the blood formation, only one step away from coming out.

    But at that moment, Bai Guchen, who should have been completely controlled and unable to do anything but walk, actually raised his left fist under Shen Yucheng’s gaze, and slammed it hard into his right arm!

    “Crack—!” The sound burst out abruptly on the scene, so crisp it made people’s scalps tingle. Just hearing the sound, you knew that it wasn’t just a fracture, but the bones were probably shattered, shattered completely.

    Shen Yucheng was stunned for a moment. It wasn’t so much that he was surprised that Bai Guchen’s hand could move, but that he wanted to know why this guy would do this to himself?

    The next second, Bai Guchen’s hands actually regained mobility! He began to punch himself again and again, not holding back at all, as if he didn’t feel any pain.

    He beat himself so hard, torturing his body as if he was torturing an enemy.

    Soon, his upper body could move completely. Once he could bend over, he immediately aimed at his legs and started hitting, each punch hitting flesh, so hard that he wanted to smash the entire leg into scrap metal. The sound of bones breaking was even more ear-piercing than before, wishing he could smash his feet to pieces, so he couldn’t take another step out.

    The people standing outside were all dumbfounded. At first, this action was baffling, but when they thought that Bai Guchen was a follower of the Crimson Puppet Dao, the doubts immediately vanished.

    Shen Yucheng was closest to him, and he saw it most clearly. The fingers on Bai Guchen’s left fist, the first to be able to move, were all swollen and turning blue and purple.

    Seeing this, he completely understood.

    Crimson Puppet Dao followers can only control inanimate objects. Bai Guchen used this loophole to forcibly clench his fingers with thought power, preventing blood from circulating, and causing these five fingers to become necrotic. In this way, he could regain control of this part of his body.

    Then, he made the entire arm suffer the same fate. Once the arm could move, he used brute force to break his body bit by bit, completely breaking free from the control of the Puppet Dao.

    Shen Yucheng had to admit that this method was the only direct and effective solution in the current situation. But not everyone dared to use this trick.

    Most people didn’t have this kind of ruthlessness.

    Thinking about it was one thing, daring to be so cruel to yourself was another. The vast majority of people couldn’t get over it psychologically.

    He stared at Bai Guchen, setting aside the other party’s crazy behavior, and only admired this person’s obsession and action.

    At this moment, Mo Yifeng quietly sent a voice transmission from behind, his tone helpless: “Yucheng Ge, your plan failed, why do you still look like you’re appreciating him?”

    Bai Guchen had completely escaped. He jumped back to the center of the blood formation, this time he was much more alert, his eyes carefully scanning his surroundings. It seemed impossible to use the same trick to deal with him again.

    Shen Yucheng cursed inwardly at how difficult this guy was, but his eyes were calm. He silently called out: “Yan Quanye.”

    Yan Quanye lazily responded from within the contract: “What? You gods are fighting each other, but I, a mortal, don’t want to get involved.”

    “I’m not asking you to come out, just help me release some smoke.”

    ……

    “What are you staring at?”

    A sudden question interrupted their conversation. Bai Guchen probed: “What are you staring at?”

    He sized up Shen Yucheng: “This time, I won’t let your golden threads get close to me again. This trick won’t work on me.”

    Shen Yucheng’s tone was calm, but with a hint of ill intent: “Is that so? That’s not certain.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, golden light suddenly appeared at the bottom of the formation. Countless golden threads crisscrossed and extended, weaving a huge cage centered on the blood formation.

    This formation was like a trap designed specifically for Bai Guchen. As long as he lost his footing, he would definitely fall into it and be difficult to escape.

    Bai Guchen looked down and sneered: “You think I’ll lose my footing just because I have a bunch of broken bones?”

    Before he finished speaking, Shen Yucheng’s figure suddenly flashed as he raised his head, appearing silently in front of him, making people break out in a cold sweat.

    Bai Guchen suddenly became alert, retreated a few steps, and somersaulted backwards, creating distance: “You want to force me down with hand-to-hand combat? Wishful thinking.”

    With a wave of his right hand, the blood formation began to rise into the air, slowly floating away from the ground, rising higher and higher, forcibly pulling himself out of the range of the golden cage.

    Shen Yucheng was also in the formation, naturally following along.

    He looked around, the moonlight was close at hand, the sea of clouds was like silver, the whole world seemed to be only the two of them. This place became their snowy white battle stage.

    Bai Guchen calmly said: “I won’t hold back anymore. This is your grave. I chose it myself, are you satisfied?”

    Shen Yucheng’s eyes were deep: “It’s pretty good, I’ve always liked white clouds.”

    The two looked at each other, the air currents rolled, and an evenly matched death match was about to break out. Their movements were so fast that they were dazzling, their punches were like thunder, their steps were like shadows, each move was made with all their strength, without reservation.

    Although Bai Guchen was scarred, his punches were still extremely ruthless. If Shen Yucheng took a punch head-on, he would probably suffer a bone fracture on the spot.

    At this moment, they seemed to be isolated from the existence of time, the world had no day and night, no one else, only this high-altitude stage that existed for them.

    Shen Yucheng asked while fighting: “Why do you want to kill everyone in the world?”

    Bai Guchen didn’t stop attacking, and replied coldly: “Because they deserve to die.”

    “How so?”

    Bai Guchen sneered: “You want to trick me into talking and then persuade me to turn back? Don’t waste your breath.”

    Shen Yucheng said indifferently: “Not interested. I just want to know, what kind of conditions are needed to raise such a terrible personality as you?”

    Bai Guchen’s face darkened, and after a few silent moves, he said coldly: “A half-demon body, thrown on the street by my mother when I was just a month old. The demons didn’t want me, and people didn’t love me. At the age of eight, I met Baili.”

    Shen Yucheng listened. He had actually guessed a lot, but he didn’t expect that Bai Guchen was actually a half-demon, no wonder he reacted so violently when he was previously demonized.

    “Don’t you like Baili very much? Why are you still holding on to his soul?”

    Bai Guchen’s voice suddenly rose: “It’s not like, it’s love! He’s the only one in this world who’s ever been good to me, how could I let go? When I kill everyone, we’ll die together, so we’ll really be together forever!”

    Shen Yucheng didn’t reply, just quietly looked at him, this lunatic was starting his morbid fantasies again.

    He quietly observed his surroundings, silently counting the time in his heart, it should be about time…

    .

    When Bai Guchen’s emotions reached their peak, Shen Yucheng had already fallen to the ground seriously injured, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, his body convulsing. He looked at his hands, laughing wildly: “Hahaha! It’s done! I finally solved this big problem! The others are all minor characters, Baili, wait for me, I’ll come find you right away—”

    Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly turned his head and saw a familiar figure appear before his eyes.

    It was Baili.

    He was smiling at him, that smile, the gentleness he had dreamed of for thousands of years. As when they first met, Baili knelt on one knee, gently touching his head, and asked softly: “Does it still hurt?”

    Bai Guchen was stunned, his eyes softening in an instant, and he reached out a trembling hand: “Have you finally come? I… I’ve been waiting for you for so long…”

    But that smiling Baili retreated slightly as he took each step.

    Bai Guchen’s heart tightened, and his eyes changed abruptly: “…Where are you going? No!”

    He lunged forward, grabbing Baili’s hand as if grabbing the last ray of light, and pressed it tightly to his heart.

    At that moment, his heartbeat seemed to fall from a high altitude, crashing into the abyss with a bang.

    It exploded.
