The puppet seemed to have felt the excitement and disdain in Jiu Shen’s tone, making it emit an ear-piercing roar that shook the surroundings visibly.
Roaarrrr!!
After hearing its beast-like shout, Jiu Shen let out a taunting smile as he pointed his Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword towards the puppet in a provoking manner as he said with an imperceivable excitement. “Come! Show me your full strength!”
Roooarrr!!
The puppet cried out once more before it dashed towards Jiu Shen while lifting its axe above its head causing violent ripples in the air. It then furiously struck down aiming to split Jiu Shen in half!
With a faint smile on his face, Jiu Shen’s eyes glinted as he held his sword with both hands before brandishing it against the puppet’s axe without fear. He actually wanted to meet the puppet’s attack head-on!
A keening sword sound echoed as the ancient carvings on the Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword in Jiu Shen hands lit up, illuminating the uneven ground with a bright golden light.
Unaware of the changes in Jiu Shen’s sword, the puppet continued its attack.
Booommm!!!
After the two weapons collided, a thunderous explosion rang out, creating layers of huge ripples in the air.
At the epicenter of this explosion were two figures stubbornly holding their weapons while glaring at each other.
There were visible cracks on the arms of the puppet, but it was healing at a discernible speed. On the other hand, Jiu Shen appeared to be spotlessly clean with no noticeable injury. He was still wearing a calm smile as he looked at the puppet with a nostalgic gaze.
“More! Let me experience it once more!” Jiu Shen’s eyes contained the lust for battle. He had been confined for millions of years in the God Sealing Tower, with his soul being tortured every day. He missed the days when he could freely roam the Primordial God Realm to battle with top experts and god beasts. Now, he felt as if he was back into his earlier years in the Primordial God Realm, making him crave for a more stimulating fight.
The purple orbs within the puppet’s hollow eyes suddenly flickered vigorously as if it was provoked by Jiu Shen’s expression. And with a twist of its body, it spun towards Jiu Shen like a tumultuous hurricane, producing strong gusts of wind as it came nearer to Jiu Shen.
Crack. Crack. Crack.
The rocky ground cracked following the puppet’s violent movement. Looking at this from afar, Xia Xinyue felt dread in her heart as she glanced at the puppet that now looked like a meat grinder as it continuously spun at a rapid speed.
Jiu Shen’s eyes shone when he saw this and he immediately did a casual and natural sword stance as he muttered silently. “Wind Breaking Sword Implosion.”
The Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword in Jiu Shen’s hands produced dozens of sword lights that streaked towards the spinning puppet as he brandished it in a fluid motion. He looked like a sword immortal that danced through the skies with his set of graceful sword movements.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sword lights struck the spinning puppet which slowed down its movements considerably.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
More sword light struck it, and not long later, the puppet was flung away like a kite with a broken string.
Thud!
The puppet’s broken body collapsed hundreds of meters away, but it was still tightly holding the giant axe in its hands.
The puppet now had countless cracks on its body that it looked as if it would break into pieces anytime by now, but the purple orbs in its eye sockets were still burning intensely.
Jiu Shen looked at the puppet with an interested smile. He realized that the deceased owner of this puppet was a genius in array formation and weapon refining since the puppet he created was actually so strong despite being left here for thousands of years.
The puppet suddenly stood up after it had regenerated a part of its broken body, and it stared at Jiu Shen as if it wanted to eat him whole.
Roaarr!!
It emitted a loud sound but it seemed much weaker than before. The damage done by Jiu Shen’s attack can be perceived by this change.
The puppet abruptly leaped towards Jiu Shen, wanting to catch him unprepared, but the latter was already aware of its actions the moment it started moving, so with a flap of his wings, it looked as if Jiu Shen had barely evaded the puppet’s strike.
Bangg!!
Jiu Shen gracefully landed on the ground before bolting towards the puppet while brandishing his Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword forward, creating a massive burning sword light that stretched up to ten meters in length. It looked like a blazing giant blade of a scythe that shot towards the puppet, leaving behind countless flakes of fire in the air.
Swoosh!
The puppet felt the danger and it didn’t dare face this sword attack head-on, but it could only move slowly as if it was greatly pressured by the incoming fiery sword light.
Baangg!!
The right half of the puppet’s body melted from the intense and raging fiery sword light. The huge axe it was holding just a few moments ago had now become a pool of lava. It can be seen how devastating the attack Jiu Shen had just thrown to it.
The pair of purple orbs in its hollow eye sockets suddenly dimmed as it knelt on the ground. The right torso of the puppet was now gone, and the remaining part was now covered with melted lava, making it look very miserable.
The awe-inspiring Nascent God Realm puppet was reduced into such a plight with Jiu Shen’s sword attack.
“I’m done playing with you.” Jiu Shen muttered as he swung his sword towards the kneeling and absent-minded puppet.
Crack!
The puppet’s body broke into countless pieces after receiving Jiu Shen’s sword slash.
Jiu Shen glanced at the puppet’s fragmented pieces before he turned his apathetic gaze towards the stone coffin that hovered ceaselessly in midair.
He then flew closer to the stone coffin with a flap of his pitch-black wings.
Flap. Flap. Flap.
After getting a clearer look at the stone coffin, Jiu Shen saw the array carvings on its surface that protected it from being eroded by time.
He touched the coffin and felt its ice-cold surface. He then circulated his true essence to provide heat for his body. If it was anyone else, they would have turned to ice sculpture if they had touched the stone coffin without thinking, but Jiu Shen had the Seamless Deity Physique making him invulnerable to such low-level coldness.
After seeing that there was no danger from the stone coffin, Jiu Shen recalled his Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword. He then destroyed the array carvings on its surface before bringing it to the ground.
“Elder Xia, come here. There’s no more danger.” Jiu Shen gestured for Xia Xinyue to come near to him to inspect the stone coffin.
Xia Xinyue quickly darted towards Jiu Shen. She was a bit curious about what was inside the stone coffin. Was the body of the deceased expert buried inside?
