Boom!
The khaki puppets charged toward Duan Ling Tian as they stomped on the ground. They were moving as fast as the wind.
Milky white Origin Energy burst out from the puppets' bodies and merged with the Earth Concept that rose up. The combination turned it into a rumbling khaki energy that twined around the puppets' bodies and further increased their speed.
Wah!
At the same time, a hundred ancient horned dragons' silhouettes appeared in the space above a khaki puppet before another two hundred ancient horned dragons' silhouettes appeared moments later.
'Seventh Level Void Interpretation Origin Energy? First Level Advanced Earth Concept?' Duan Ling Tian felt relieved when he saw this. He was worried before the puppets displayed their strength. He would have been in deep trouble if the group of puppets contained Earth Concept Fragments above the seventh level.
When their khaki energies resonated with the ground in the area, the puppets charged at Duan Ling Tian. At that moment, they were connected with the energies.
Wah!
Above the void, three hundred ancient horned dragons' silhouettes slid to the side as another hundred ancient horned dragons' silhouettes appeared.
'This is unexpected! The puppets can even use Earth Realm with the aid of Earth energy... Apart from not having awareness and are unable to wield spirit weapons, they are not so different from a human martial artist."
Duan Ling Tian was stunned. He smiled bitterly as four hundred ancient horned dragons' silhouettes dived toward him.
Shou! Although the puppet looked clumsy, its speed was totally unhindered as it raced toward Duan Ling Tian. The puppet swung its fist at Duan Ling Tian's head swiftly like a cannonball shooting out of a cannon.
The puppet's fist was entwined with vast amounts of khaki energy. Rumble! An earth-shattering explosion sounded, it was as though the air was compressed extremely tightly.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
A strength comparable to four hundred ancient horned dragons accompanied the sound of air explosion. It arrived almost instantly before Duan Ling Tian and was about to fall on him.
"Hng!" Duan Ling Tian who had been accumulating his strength since the beginning did not hesitate. He exerted all his Origin Energy and all four types of Concepts as he retaliated with a punch. It was comparable to the strength of eight hundred ancient horned dragons.
Bang!! Following the clash between the fist of Duan Ling Tian and the fist of the puppet, a huge bang sounded.
Duan Ling Tian stood at the same spot, he did not even move an inch.
On the other hand, the puppet's fist cracked. The cracks subsequently spread all over its body.
Shortly after, the puppet crumbled into a pile of rubble with a khaki fragment among it. It was extremely conspicuous.
"First Level Earth Concept Fragments!" Duan Ling Tian raised his hand, and he extended his Origin Energy out and entwined it around the fragment to bring it into the Spatial Ring.
Although the First Level Earth Concept Fragment was rather useless to him, it was still a Concept Fragment which made it rather valuable. Maybe it would be useful in the future.
'Wow! So strong!' The face of a blue-clad male young man, who was hiding in the corner of the cave, changed when he saw Duan Ling Tian made the puppet explode with just one punch.
"Taking all the puppet's energy into account, it had the strength of four hundred ancient horned dragons… But it exploded with just one punch in a direct battle! Is he a disciple of North Nether Sect? When did North Nether Sect have such a person?"
The blue-clad youth took a deep breath, there was a hint of anxiety and fear between his eyebrows as he made conjectures about the identity of the purple-clad young man.
'It seems that I can only wait for him to be surrounded by the remaining puppets before I can collect the box that contains the treasure... Otherwise, I'll definitely die if I'm discovered!' The blue-clad young man decided in his heart.
Duan Ling Tian was unaware of all of this.
After killing one of the puppets, Duan Ling Tian's attention fell on the rest of the puppets.
At the same time, the rest of the puppets also reacted.
Shou! Shou! Shou! Shou! Shou!
…
Duan Ling Tian was under immense stress as the group of puppets charged toward him from all directions with a speed that was as fast as the puppet that was punched by Duan Ling Tian moments ago.
Among these puppets, there were puppets who were even stronger than the puppet that Duan Ling Tian had punched.
Hua!Hua!Hua!Hua!Hua!
…
Accompanying the group of puppets that totaled to more than a hundred, several tens of thousands of ancient horned dragons' silhouettes headed toward Duan Ling Tian from all direction with their claws sharp and teeth bared in an imposing manner.
One by one, the khaki flames in the puppets' eyes flared. They were completely preoccupied and focused on Duan Ling Tian as though they were in a life-or-death battle.
Duan Ling Tian knew that destroying them completely was the best and direct way to handle these puppets that did not possess any awareness. It was the only way to resolve the current crisis.
Duan Ling Tian swiftly held a sword in his hands. The sword radiated a wave of destructive energy. It was the Quasi Royal Grade Spirit Sword that he previously obtained from the Sword Monarch's Treasure.
Although the strongest among the puppets that were charging toward him only had seven hundred ancient horned dragons including the help from Earth Energy, the main problem was that he was not merely facing one or two of them but hundreds of them instead.
Although the puppets' power could not be combined, if the attack overwhelmed him, and they managed to gain the upper hand, he would not even have enough lives to die.
What he had to do now was to break through the siege and destroy the puppets one by one. To fight them head-on would be as though he was looking for death!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
Hundreds of puppets leaped toward Duan Ling Tian as they punched simultaneously, it compressed the air together and unleashed a continuous sound of air explosion.
Moreover, as the air explosion spread, the air flow was compressed and a flow of airwaves surged out and unleashed a gale that caused the cave to be filled with dust.
Nine Dragon's Radiant Flash!
Faced with the attacks from hundreds of puppets, a well prepared Duan Ling Tian set his sight straight as he flew out. With a swing of his Quasi Royal Grade Spirit Sword, a vast amount of power surged out.
Three realistic divine dragons came out roaring. There was a flash in all their eyes before they shot out six radiant flashes that destroyed six puppets.
Six of the puppets fell, and a gap appeared in the encirclement.
Whirlwind!
Duan Ling Tian seized this opportunity to break the encirclement by exerting his Movement Technique.
However, the group of puppets chased after him as he was leaving the encirclement. Although the puppets did not possess any awareness, it seemed that they currently viewed Duan Ling Tian as their mortal enemy.
It was as if they would not stop their actions until Duan Ling Tian was dead.
"Hng!" After Duan Ling Tian broke out of the encirclement, he coolly snorted as he faced hundreds of incoming puppets. Duan Ling Tian's silhouette moved like the wind and moments later he was seen flashing toward the puppets in the distance at the side.
Nine Dragon's Radiant Flash!
Sword Drawing Arts!
With every swing of the sword in Duan Ling Tian's hand, three divine dragons came rushing out with six radiant flashes. Alternately, it was as quick as lightning as it destroyed a puppet.
'I never would've guessed he's so strong... I can't wait anymore! If I continue waiting, he'll completely destroy the remaining puppets.'
The blue-clad young man, who was hiding in the corner, gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
When the blue-clad young man saw that Duan Ling Tian's attention was not on the top of the cave in the middle of the cavern, he took a deep breath and flew out as fast as lightning toward the top of the cave.
Duan Ling Tian was fully focused on crushing and destroying the group of puppets who was attacking him. Hence, he did not notice anyone appearing or heading toward the center at top of the cavern to retrieve the exquisite box.
That exquisite box contained a treasure that was left behind by the Martial Emperor.
The hundreds of puppets Duan Ling Tian was facing currently was a test for whoever that wanted to obtain the treasure.
Someone else wanted to sneakily retrieve the treasure when Duan Ling Tian faced the test.
Shou! Shou! Shou! Shou! Shou!
…
The sword in Duan Ling Tian's hand was like a lightning or a venomous snake, he managed to destroy one or several puppets with every swing of his sword. None of the puppets was able to survive his sword.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
One after another, the puppets without awareness continued to charge at Duan Ling Tian fearlessly even as their companions were being destroyed. They were literally trying to attack him until they died!
However, all of them who tried ended up being destroyed.
At the same time, the blue-clad young man's silhouette was fast approaching the top of the cavern in the center. With a hand as quick as lightning, he retrieved the exquisite box that was embedded on the top of the cave.
The blue-clad young man smiled brightly as he looked at the exquisite box in his hand.
'I got it!'
'If he finds out that the exquisite box was claimed by someone else after destroying all the puppets… My guess is he'll definitely be furious!' The blue-clad young man thought to himself as he glanced at Duan Ling Tian, feeling a little proud.
However, his eyes almost fell out of its sockets when he saw what was happening!
He saw the puppets that were charging at the purple-clad young man stopped altogether and turned their heads in his direction the moment he took the exquisite box from the top of the cave.
Khaki flames were rising in their eyes, and it seemed like they were expressing their anger.
'Run!'
When the blue-clad young man realized that the group of puppets was about to give up on attacking the purple-clad young and charged at him instead, his face changed, and he began to quickly retreat to the far end of the cave.
Shou! Shou! Shou! Shou! Shou!
…
In just an instant, the blue-clad young man made his move. The remaining khaki puppets stopped fighting Duan Ling Tian and went after him instead.
'What happened ?' Duan Ling Tian found the actions of the group of puppets odd. He subconsciously turned his head and looked in the puppets' direction.
His face turned frosty with just a glance.
"Thinking of taking my stuff?" In the next moment, Duan Ling Tian's silhouette turned into a purple lightning, and it followed the group of puppets.
