...... Coming out of the No. 24 stronghold, Xia Xingxiao and the others soon came to the back of the sand thieves.

Sure enough, the sand thieves were completely defenseless against their own flanks and rear. Their attention was all focused on the twenty-fifth stronghold in front. Since the No. 25 stronghold was deep underground, Xia Xingxiao and the others could not see the battle at the scene. Judging from the sound, the battle between the two sides should be very fierce.

The men and horses led by Xia Xingxiao had hundreds of people, so many cultivators, who appeared in the rear of the sand pirate army, and the sand pirate army didn't even notice it. This fully shows that the sand pirate army really has no security measures at all behind its own flank. Their plan for an attack could have been carried out as usual. If Xia Xingxiao and the others kill from here, they are afraid that the sand thieves will not be able to react at all in a short period of time.

However, the number of sand pirates is indeed very large, and there are thousands of them. The previous estimate of the number of sand pirates, which was only about 5,000, was incorrect. The number of sand pirates was estimated to be about 8,000. And Xia Xingxiao's side, there are only less than one hundred and fifty people. The balance of power between the two sides is still very large.

Fortunately, Xia Xingxiao's own puppet troops are also full of confidence. He took a closer look at his surroundings and found that no other sand pirates existed. In other words, all they need to face is these thousands of sand thieves. Although the number of sand thieves seems to be large, they often appear in the thousands. In fact, once you really kill, you don't feel a lot.

The key is that the average strength of the sand pirates cannot be too strong. If it was an ordinary eighth-level sand thief, or a sand thief at the beginning of the ninth-level, in front of Xia Xingxiao, it would not be enough to see at all. Don't talk about others, even a weekly exhibition can make all the sand thieves die.

"Ready!"

Xia Xingxiao waved his hand gently.

Li Yuji began to carefully deploy combat missions.

Xia Xingxiao also began to deploy his puppet troops, preparing to take the lead in charging.

He will be his puppet. Divided into seven groups of nine people each, with the strongest group, charging ahead.

Since when refining puppets, they are all in groups of nine, so it is very easy to form a team. Seven of the toughest puppets. was appointed by Xia Xingxiao as the leader of their respective groups. Because of the special instructions he received, Xia Xingxiao only had to command the leader of each group. Each leader then directs the rest of the group to fight. The chain of command of the Sand Pirates. This is how it was commanded at each level.

After assigning the puppet team, Xia Xingxiao immediately condensed the Yellow Crane Tower and Lu Bu War God Statue, and was determined to sweep the cave with thunder and kill it with one blow.

"Kill!"

Xia Xingxiao waved his hand and ordered to charge.

The night practice sword in Zheng Yunde's hand is always the fastest.

He was the first to rush out and take the scattered sand thieves nearby. It's all cleaned up.

At the beginning, it was basically Zheng Yunde who shot alone, and no one else had a chance.

Those scattered sand thieves were completely sent to death, and they never imagined that the enemy would come out from their rear. Many sand thieves were killed by Zheng Yunde with a sword, and they didn't figure out how they died. This time, they really made a complete fool.

Tian Delong's movements. It's also quite agile. After all, he is the Four Virtues, and his combat effectiveness is still very strong. Especially after Xia Xingxiao's transformation, the combat effectiveness is even stronger. The weapon he used was also a slender and light night training sword, which was only inferior to Zheng Yunde's in terms of speed.

His original name was Tian Longde, and Xia Xingxiao changed it to Tian Delong. Zheng Yunde was also changed to Zheng Deyun, and Zhang Houde was changed to Zhang Dehou. Cao Rongde was changed to Cao Derong. As for the reason, Xia Xingxiao did not explain. This is purely to show that I am in charge of my puppet. But. His act of changing his name obviously did not win the support of others. They are still accustomed to calling the puppets by their original names. ...,

After all, Tian Delong is the Four Virtues. The skill is indeed the strongest. After being expanded by Xia Xingxiao and the sea of qi, it was basically the same as everyone else. However, he has a lot of combat experience. At the same time, he has been to the most places. The memories of the seven springboard planets are quite rich. This time, Xia Xingxiao focused on his performance.

"Ahh

"Poof!"

All Xia Xingxiao and the others heard was the short screams of the sand thieves.

Tian Delong, who joined the puppet team for the first time, showed extremely strong deterrence and lethality.

The night training sword in his hand, after being strengthened by Xia Xingxiao, was faster and more efficient in killing. In a while, there were more than one hundred and thirty sand thieves who fell under his sword. Among them, there were actually five sand thieves, who were the strength of the early stage of the ninth level, and as a result, they were killed by him in seconds with a single sword.

For an attack from the flanks and rear, the sand pirates were completely unprepared. Most of their masters gathered in the twenty-fifth stronghold in front. Remaining behind, there were only a few sporadic sand thieves in the early stage of the ninth level. These sand thieves, against Zheng Yunde, can barely support a few moves and delay a little time. However, if he plays against Tian Delong, he can't even support a move. are all objects that are directly killed.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

In the blink of an eye, there were a large number of sand thieves who fell under Tian Delong's night practice sword.

Under the influence of Tian Delong, the combat effectiveness of Zhang Houde, Cao Rongde and others is also soaring.

All the sand thieves who stood in front of them, as long as they encountered them, either one move, or two moves, no more than three moves, were directly overturned by them. The mutual cooperation of the four virtues is still very tacit. No matter how strong the sand thieves are, they can't escape their poisonous hands.

Their performance made Xia Xingxiao feel more and more urgent, and he must get the three from the catch. Once the three from the four virtues are really all refined into puppets, the power of cooperation between them will definitely increase greatly. In this way, on the battlefield, the combat effectiveness of the puppet troops will definitely become stronger. These people are the capital of his Xia Xingxiao's future survival and development!

"Ho ho ho!"

"Ho ho ho!"

At the same time, there is also Zhou Zhan's dragon slaying knife.

In front of the roaring dragon slaying knife, the sand thief was split to pieces.

Compared to the Night Training Sword, the Dragon Slayer Knife has greater destructive power. In essence, the Dragon Slayer is definitely the most powerful weapon. Often with a knife, in addition to the target being killed on the spot, the sand thieves next to him will be shocked to death by the strong true qi attached to the blade.

Zhou Zhan is an eighth-level cultivator, and if it is in a one-on-one battle, he may not be the opponent of the eighth-level sand thief. Once you encounter a ninth-level sand thief, your life will be in danger. However, after becoming a puppet, his strength has been raised to above the peak of the ninth level. Even if you encounter a sand thief at the peak of the ninth level, you can also fight it. When encountering sand thieves below the middle of the ninth level, with the power of the dragon slaying knife, it is naturally a big killing.

Soon, the team of sand thieves was all scattered. The sand thieves who had the courage to come up to stop Xia Xingxiao and the others were all killed. The remaining sand thieves desperately retreated in the direction of Stronghold 25. They all have no intention of fighting. Apparently, their boss was there. When they encounter danger, they will subconsciously retreat to their boss's side and seek refuge from the boss.

The commander of the sand pirates closest to Xia Xingxiao and the others was none other than Shen Congyu. Finding that behind him, a human cultivator had actually appeared, and he was taken aback. He could scarcely believe that a human cultivator had the courage to appear behind him. Immediately, a cruel sneer appeared on his face. ...,

Human cultivators actually dared to sneak attack him? This was really asking for their own death! Don't they know that once they escaped from the tortoise's shell, it would be tantamount to committing suicide?

"Your ...... Die!" Shen Congyu was about to shout loudly, when he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Why did several acquaintances appear in front of him? Moreover, these acquaintances were brandishing swords and killing their sand thieves? In front of their swords, a large number of sand thieves were falling down like a tide. In an instant, he lost hundreds of people!

Shen Congyu's combat power is quite strong, but his brain is not very flexible. He couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment. How could he have thought that his former companion had actually become a puppet of a human cultivator? As a result, Shen Congyu watched his subordinates constantly fall under the sword of a human cultivator. So, Cao Derong and Tian Delong took the opportunity to go up together and surrounded him to death.

Tian Delong's night practice sword was extremely fast, and he almost hacked Shen Congyu to death with a single sword.

Fortunately, the sand thieves have a strong sense of battle. Shen Congyu sensed that something was wrong, and he didn't need his brain to react at all, so his body naturally made dodging movements. Fortunately, the speed of his dodge was very fast, otherwise, Tian Delong's first sword would have directly chilled his former brother.

The martial arts practiced by Shen Congyu are all true swordsmanship, and the weapon used is the night practice sword. Basically, there is no difference with the four virtues. However, the internal skills of the three cultivation are all Taixuan Divine Skills, not the Pulp Washing Sutra. Between the Taixuan Divine Skill and the Pulp Washing Sutra, the power is actually equal, and no one can defeat anyone.

Shen Congyu finally reacted, and hurriedly shouted, "Cao, Tian...... You guys, what's going on!"

He finally recognized who his opponent was. However, he couldn't understand why all his comrades-in-arms were doing it to him, and it was still the kind that killed him as soon as he made a move.

It's a pity that Cao Derong and Tian Delong will not respond in the slightest. At this time, the most superfluous organ in their body is the mouth. They are all puppets, and they only know how to carry out Xia Xingxiao's orders. As long as they don't remove their puppet status for a day, they won't be able to speak.
