"You can't escape. Once you're locked onto by Tai Yue's spell, your body will be crushed. There's no other way!" The old man coldly stared at him as his silver hair fluttered in the wind.
Those afterimages were constantly crushed by the palm wind. Yang Qingxuan's figure instantly appeared hundreds of feet away, but he still hadn't escaped the range of the Mountain Qi.
In fact, this giant's palm had borrowed the power of the earth and mountains, so it was impossible to escape no matter how hard he tried.
However, Yang Qingxuan didn't plan to escape. He only wanted to increase the distance between them so he could test out his crazy idea. His hand formed a seal and Huang Chi flew over. Red veins began to appear on his body.
"Sword, come!"
Yang Qingxuan let out a soft cry, and the sword mark between his eyebrows burst out with a strong light. A layer of Sword Qi lingered around him like a cloud, and his figure became vague and unreal.
Sword energy gradually spread out from Huang Chi's body and flowed through the red veins before gathering in his palm.
"Boom!"
Sword energy erupted from Huang Chi's palm and turned into a giant Overlord Sword. He held it in his hand like a city wall and chopped down on the Tai Yue puppet!
"Boom!"
The sword energy was like iron, unstoppable!
Yang Qingxuan's eyes widened. They were filled with shock and ecstasy. The Nirvana Shatterer Desolate Aura surrounded the Overlord Sword. It was like a layer of sword armor that directly penetrated the giant's palm!
"Boom!"
Under the giant's palm technique, the countless illusory mountains that lingered around the giant's palm technique were all shattered by the sword.
A terrifying rumble came from the surroundings as if the entire mountain range had been split in half by the sword!
"No — Can — You!"
The old man's eyes widened as he screamed in horror. He coughed out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying.
The sword aura was like a rainbow as it shot straight up. After shattering the mountains, it slashed into the Tai Yue puppet giant's chest and sliced it in half with a loud boom!
"Boom!"
The two halves of the giant puppet fell to the ground and shook the entire sect. Everyone was dumbfounded and petrified.
In their eyes, the sect master of the Three Flower Realm, who was almost invincible, had been defeated by a young man.
The four protectors who were leading the way were scared silly. Their faces were pale. Even if they could survive this calamity, they would most likely be confined by the sect and be severely punished.
The four of them were filled with regret. If they had known that this Yang Qingxuan was so terrifying, they would have just given him the jade slip and sent him away.
Yang Qingxuan's face was filled with ecstasy. Although the Desolate Puppet's attack had consumed quite a number of Desolate Pills, it was all worth it. He immediately formed a hand seal and the Overlord Sword disappeared from the Desolate Puppet's palm. At the same time, the Desolate Puppet flashed and returned to the Astral Ring.
Then, Yang Qingxuan flew down and cupped his fists. "Sect Master Zha, you've lost."
The old man's clothes were stained with blood as he stared blankly at the Tai Yue puppet that was split in half.
The entire mountain forest was silent. There were thousands of people there, but not a single sound could be heard.
After a long time, the old man let out a long sigh. His gaze fell on Yang Qingxuan as he said, "I've lost. Whatever you want, just say it. It's just that …"
His eyes were filled with confusion as he said, "Your puppet is obviously stronger than mine. Why are you interested in my Clear Canyon Technique?"
Yang Qingxuan answered truthfully, "I obtained this puppet by chance. I actually don't know much about puppet techniques. I hope Sect Master Zha will not be stingy with your guidance."
Although Zha Siyu had lost, seeing that this young man did not bully the weak, she could not help but have a good impression of him. She said, "Come with me." As she spoke, she picked up the giant puppet that had been split in half. There was a hint of loneliness in her eyes.
"Seal the meridians of Gan Shi and the others. Throw them into the cliff and wait for their punishment!" Zha Siyu's gaze swept across the four of them. Her eyes were filled with endless anger and murderous intent.
The four of them went limp and collapsed on the ground in fear. They were then dragged away.
After that, the two of them, one old and one young, entered the Clear Canyon Sect.
There were all kinds of puppets everywhere in the sect. Even the ones that swept the floor, carried water, and built houses were all low level puppets.
When the two of them entered the hall, Zha Siyu clapped her hands. Immediately, a row of monkeys came out, carrying all kinds of wine and spirit fruits.
Yang Qingxuan looked over. These monkeys had dull eyes. They were obviously just puppets.
Zha Siyu said, "Yang Qingxuan, what's the difference between your puppet and these puppets?" Her tone carried a hint of consideration.
Yang Qingxuan thought for a while and said, "These puppets are all made of living things. My puppet is made of materials."
Zha Siyu nodded and said, "This is the biggest difference that can be seen at a glance. When you were fighting with my sect's disciples outside, what did you feel?"
Yang Qingxuan's heart suddenly shook. He said, "These puppets all retained their aura when they were alive. Even … their fighting style and innate magical powers!"
Zha Siyu nodded again and again. Her dim eyes flashed with a light of appreciation.
Originally, she had only accepted the other party's conditions in humiliation after being defeated. But now she was a little excited. She endlessly said, "My Clear Canyon Sect's puppet techniques are high level puppet techniques. They are fundamentally different from those low level pieces of wood and iron. A puppet retains a complete body and cultivation path, so it can display the original strength of the body as well as the innate magical powers of the puppet. But your puppet is even more terrifying. It seems to have refined its own cultivation path. This kind of puppet is infinitely close to a heaven-step origin artifact. "
He blinked his eyes and mustered up his courage to carefully ask, "Can you let me see that puppet of yours?"
Yang Qingxuan looked at his nervous appearance and couldn't help but smile. He directly had Desolate Chi fly out from his star ring and land in front of Zha Siyu.
Zha Siyu was immediately overjoyed, as if she had obtained a precious treasure. She stepped forward and carefully observed it, excitedly stroking the material with her hands.
Over the next several days, Yang Qingxuan stayed in the valley and studied puppet techniques with Zha Siyu. They also exchanged martial intents and experiences, benefiting greatly.
According to Zha Siyu's deductions, this Desolate Chi was most likely a failed refinement. If one had the strength of the Heaven Seated realm, they could refine it and raise its grade to the heaven-step. At that time, this Desolate Chi would be able to display the strength of the Heaven Seated realm.
"The strength of the Heaven Seated realm …"
Yang Qingxuan bitterly smiled. Although he longed for this, it was still too far away.
Zha Siyu sighed, "The Heaven Seated realm … that is an existence that roams the five high level worlds as well as the Central Great World. But with Brother's talent, you will one day go there. In fact, Clear Canyon Sect is a small branch of another great sect, the Gongshu Family. After a long time, they separated. All the puppet techniques in the world come from the Gongshu Family. That is where the world's top puppets are. "
As she spoke, her eyes revealed a deep yearning.
