Chapter 111: Chapter 89 Divine Skills Obtained! Waiting to Return!

“It’s a puppet!”

Lu Li fixed his gaze and felt a bit surprised.

Three first-order puppets tightly surrounded a young man in the center.

Each puppet looked humanoid, very tall, and their bodies emitted a metallic luster, with an extraordinary aura.

“Sss…”

As soon as the three humanoid puppets appeared, they immediately pounced violently towards the young man, producing bursts of howling sounds.

The young man looked extremely tense, quickly activating the Defensive Treasure Cauldron above his head, enveloping his body in a multicolored aura instantly.

“Bang, bang…”

Just as the young man had brought out his magic artifact, the three metal puppets harshly pounded their fists on the glowing magic artifact. The spiritual light around the young man started to tremble wildly and shattered in just a few breaths.

Then, the three puppets directly killed the young man, their icy fists smashing brutally onto his body.

“Ah…”

Accompanied by a scream, the young man’s chest was instantly crushed, rolling towards the fiery sea below the cliff, and quickly turned into a pile of ashes.

After killing the man, the three puppets immediately flew towards the palace, disappearing from everyone’s sight swiftly.

From the puppet’s appearance to the man’s demise, it all happened in an instant.

Everyone was startled.

“These puppets are so powerful; they must be top-tier first-order puppets.”

However, the young man’s strength was not top-notch; if it were major sect true disciples, they could have given it a try.

At this moment, another three young men from the group of righteous cultivators stepped forward.

The three of them had quite strong auras, comparable to some inner sect disciples.

It was clear that they wanted to try their luck on this ancient path by banking on their numerical advantage.

The three turned into streaks of light and flew swiftly towards the mountain path nearby.

Upon reaching the crossroads, they all stopped and started running up the mountain path at high speeds.

As soon as the trio reached about a third of the ancient path, several metallic figures as fast as lightning blocked them, completely surrounding them.

This time, there were nine puppets!

The onlooking crowd was startled, the number of puppets appearing seemingly linked to the skill level of the participants.

“Run!”

The trio surrounded were utterly horrified and hastily unleashed their defensive magical artifacts to retreat.

“Rumble, rumble…”

The nine metal puppets swung their fists and pounded on the three people’s artifacts, producing thunderous noises while the artifacts’ spiritual light began to flicker wildly.

“Kill!”

One of the men unleashed a Flying Sword, fiercely slashing at a metal puppet in front, striking sparks.

The Flying Sword was instantly repelled backward.

“Such a hard body, retreat back down the path quickly, do not linger!”

The three were extremely anxious, fully activating their defensive magical artifacts, and, amidst a storm-like barrage of iron fists, dashed desperately back down the path.

The nine attacking puppets tenaciously pursued them from behind, their relentless attacks making it difficult for the trio to breathe.

“Ah…”

Within moments, one young man’s artifact was instantly destroyed, and two puppets’ ferocious iron fists smashed him into a muddy pulp.

The remaining two, terrified out of their wits, fought against the barrage and rapidly ran back.

Before they could get far, another couldn’t hold on. His artifact shattered, and he was left dead on the mountain path.

In the blink of an eye, only one cultivator was left on the mountain path.

Taking advantage of the brief moment while the puppets killed his companions, the young man fully activated a forbidden technique, dramatically increasing his mana.

Then, with increased speed, he rushed toward the back of the mountain path.

“Bang…”

As the young man faced the puppets’ onslaught, he finally reached the outside of the path just as his artifact’s light was about to shatter.

At that point, the puppets quickly rushed to the end of the mountain path and soon disappeared from sight.

The young man, looking like he had narrowly escaped death, watched as the puppets retreated.

“It seems that once out of the mountain path, the puppets no longer attack.”

Lu Li, watching the puppets quickly recede, judged inwardly.

The onlookers also appeared contemplative.

It seemed the strategy of overwhelming with numbers wouldn’t work.

With the life-costing verification done by two groups of cultivators, the crowd gained some clarity.

After a while, three men in black robes from the Demon Sect stepped forward, their auras extremely formidable, clearly true disciples from various sects.

Each chose one ancient path and sped up the mountain path.

Upon reaching a third of the way, each path similarly had three metal puppets swiftly emerge from the mountain summit, firmly surrounding each person.

“Rumble, rumble…”

Intense collision noises echoed through the sky as the three true disciples valiantly resisted under the puppets’ siege.

The artifacts’ glow began to tremble wildly, and even the Flying Sword strikes couldn’t break the puppets’ bodies, only striking countless sparks.

Before long, the three returned looking disheveled without having broken through the three puppets’ blockade.

“Perhaps only the top-tier true disciples from the major sects could try to pass through.”

“Fortunately, the true disciples were strong enough, leaving their lives unthreatened.”

The onlookers thought to themselves.

At that moment, a man in white from the Heavenly Demon Sect stepped out, his face strikingly handsome and his aura as deep as the sea, it was the Heavenly Demon Prince, Mu Chen.

Mu Chen gave a faint smile, circulated his full body’s mana, and, like thunder, swiftly charged up the middle mountain path, with Jiang Taixu and Gui Mubai each taking a path, closely following behind.

Soon after the trio progressed, in each path, three metal puppets rushed out and viciously attacked them, their demeanor extremely fierce.

Mu Chen curled the corners of his lips into a slight smile and, without waiting for the three puppets to approach, pointed directly ahead.

A surge of violent Spiritual Energy instantly converged in the void, forming a massive sword finger surrounded by starlight, with an incredibly astonishing aura.
