This enraged roar instantly stunned the surrounding warriors. Everyone retreated backward, their lips trembling, "It can talk, it can talk!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The puppet, wielding its long saber, moved with human-like agility. It instantly stepped into the void, charging towards Cang Qian and Marquis Xuanping!
Each step it took, murderous intent surged skyward!
"Run, run quickly!"
The crowd of warriors, their faces filled with terror, scrambled to flee. Even Cang Qian of the Cangmu Dynasty and Marquis Xuanping were no match for it, how could they resist!
Xu Chu, holding the Fire Cloud Saber, stood motionless, watching the distant battlefield. Xi Shisan, trembling, hid behind Xu Chu, occasionally squinting at the scene ahead.
"To dare covet the Imperial Dynasty's secret treasures, you court death!"
The puppet snorted coldly. At this moment, it held its long saber like an ultimate master. Its crimson eyes blazed with wisps of primordial energy, like flames.
It raised the saber and slashed down!
"Boom!"
A black lightning bolt, wreathed in layers of red murderous intent, descended. At this moment, it was like an iron-blooded general who had conquered in all directions, its strike imbued with fierce killing intent.
Cang Qian's gaze was cold, "Do you really think you are human!"
"A puppet is always a puppet!"
Cang Qian extended his palms, clenching them into fists. A faint blood-red glow began to wrap around his fists, gradually condensing between his fingers and extending outward!
"Ching!"
Like a long sword being unsheathed, it emitted a soft hum!
Blood Wolf Claws!
On each fist, there were three sharp blades, slightly curved, resembling a wolf's sharp claws, burning with wisps of blood-red killing intent.
"Cang Lao!"
Marquis Xuanping, his face pale, gripped his long saber, blood staining his lips. He was only at the second level of the Heavenly Fusion Realm, how could he withstand the pressure of the sixth level!
"You stand by and observe, seize the opportunity, and deliver a fatal blow!"
Cang Qian's face was slightly ashen. He stared at the approaching puppet and the black lightning bolt it had unleashed. Fortune lay within the palace ten zhang ahead; how could he give up!
"Battle!"
Cang Qian roared, his eyes fixed on the black lightning bolt. His eyelids twitched involuntarily. He brought his fists to his chest and swung them forward, unleashing six blood-red beams of light, glinting with white coldness, that shot out!
"Boom!!"
The blood-red beams instantly collided with the black lightning bolt!
"Bang bang bang!!"
The primordial energy fluctuations were vast like the ocean!
"Hum~~"
Within the black river, faint traces of blood-red sharpness intertwined, but suddenly a "crackling!" sound was heard!
"Bang!"
The blood-red sharpness shattered instantly!
"No!"
Cang Qian screamed in horror. The black lightning bolt, swift and sharp, struck directly into his chest. He was instantly sent flying for hundreds of zhang!
"Bang bang bang!!"
The void shattered. The immense impact force directly obliterated the fleeing warriors, and sprays of blood exploded, a tragically beautiful sight!
"Cang Lao!"
Marquis Xuanping roared in panic. With that single saber strike, Cang Qian was in grave danger!
Xu Chu stood in the distant void, looking at the exploding blood mists and exulting, "This puppet has some skill!"
"This is no ordinary puppet!"
Li Bai opened his eyes and looked at the puppet that had sent Cang Qian flying hundreds of meters. He sighed, "This puppet has likely been infused with the primordial spirit of a Heavenly Fusion Realm expert. The saber intent unleashed in this strike is not something a mere inanimate object can achieve!"
"Lord Li is correct. This is likely similar to the old man guarding the palace, but unlike the old man, this primordial spirit is housed within the puppet, its physical body replaced by this black alchemical creation!"
Wang Yue's expression was calm, devoid of any sense of crisis. This made Xi Shisan even more enraged, "What are you analyzing about the puppet at a time like this? Gentlemen, we should leave quickly. If it were something we could take, the Great Demon King would have seized it thousands of years ago!"
"What are you panicking about? It's merely a residual soul borrowing the puppet's hand. My saber can cleave this thing in two!"
Xu Chu roared at Xi Shisan. Was this a beast from the Ancient Barren Land? Weren't the beasts from the Ancient Barren Land ferocious!
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The puppet roared towards the sky, and wisps of black, turbid energy shot out from its mouth. It tilted its head slightly, looking towards the direction of the smoke and mist, and a human-like, mocking smile appeared on its face.
"Cough cough... cough cough cough!!"
Marquis Xuanping rushed over hastily, pushing aside the thick smoke. He saw a long, deep gash across Cang Qian's upper body. Wisps of black primordial energy coiled around Cang Qian's skeleton, like steel blades, grinding away at his physique.
"Cang Lao!"
"Cang Lao!"
Marquis Xuanping anxiously helped up the blood-soaked Cang Qian, popping pill after pill into his mouth.
"Cough cough!!"
"Puff!"
A mouthful of clotted blood spurted out!
"Hoo... hoo..."
Cang Qian gasped for breath as if he were suffocating, panting heavily.
"Marquis Xuanping... Marquis Xuanping, help me leave!"
"Leave!"
Cang Qian was extremely weak, his hands gripping Marquis Xuanping's arm with all his might, his eyes darting about as if greatly frightened.
The puppet, wielding its black long saber, took only three steps forward before stopping. It stood motionless, as if held back by something. It shook its head, turned around, and walked back to its previous sealed location.
"Boom!"
The long saber dissipated, and it instantly sat cross-legged. Its flame-like eyes flickered out.
"Hmm?"
Wang Yue and the other two looked on in confusion. The puppet, which had been rampaging moments ago, had now gone into self-hibernation.
"Strange!" Su Dan Novel Network
"Xi Shisan, do you know what this is?"
Xu Chu dragged him out from behind and asked angrily. Xi Shisan trembled as he looked at the motionless puppet and then sighed, "This thing cannot leave the palace by fifteen zhang!"
"This palace is its destiny, the place it guards, and it cannot leave this spot by even half a step. This is a pattern our demon kings discovered after many attempts!"
"General Xu Chu, go, finish it quickly!"
"Furthermore, kill those two as well!"
Wang Yue, listening to Xi Shisan's analysis, immediately instructed Xu Chu. The core area was still unknown, and whether the seal had been broken was uncertain. They could not linger here. These Ten Elders and other imperial dynasties were not to be trifled with.
"Yes!"
Xu Chu grinned, turning to face Cang Qian and Marquis Xuanping. One was at the second level of the Heavenly Fusion Realm, the other barely clinging to life; they were no match for the single saber strike of the foolishly brave Xu Chu!
His eyes blazed with powerful blood energy. The Fire Cloud Saber in his hand instantly ignited with layers of Southern Bright Flame. With a swift strike, the Fire Cloud Saber was unleashed, a saber strike descending!
"Clang!"
"Roar!"
A vividly colored tiger, bathed in blood-red hues, instantly appeared in the air, roaring ferociously!
"Who?"
Marquis Xuanping felt a chill run down his spine. His hair stood on end. He quickly turned his head, only to see in the distant void, a saber radiance burning crimson and a multi-colored tiger emerging in the air!
"Great Han!"
"Xu Chu!"
