The entire Puppet Path was a path that they had to pass through to reach the Pill Pavilion. If they wanted to quickly reach the Pill Pavilion, they couldn't avoid the Puppet Path and the Heart Refining Path. Fortunately, Dugu Tianfeng had made sufficient preparations. He took out a halberd-like ancient treasure and held it in his hand.
In front of him, any puppet that came out from the mechanism on the stone wall was basically no match for him. However, the further they went, the slower they became. The puppets that came out were mostly Jin Dan stage. As they went deeper into the Puppet Path, there were more and more puppets.
After walking straight for half of the way, a beast-shaped puppet suddenly rushed out from the stone wall. However, this time, Dugu Tianfeng stopped and turned to Hao Ji. "Fellow Daoist, please work together and quickly clear these obstacles."
Yi Tian looked up. The beast-shaped puppet wasn't big, but from the spirit pressure around it, it seemed to have reached the Yuanying stage. The puppets that came out next were all at this level. With Dugu Tianfeng's strength, dealing with them was naturally easy, but it was clear that he wanted to preserve his strength for the upcoming challenges.
If they wanted to maintain their current speed, they would need at least two people to work together. Dugu Tianfeng must have remembered Yi Tian's help in breaking the seal outside earlier. Thus, he didn't have any intention of letting Yi Tian do anything now that he knew the path ahead. It could be considered as him submitting to Li Baoxiao.
Hao Ji nodded slightly and took out a soft sword from her waist. Suddenly, a pink halo came out of the sword and the spirit force was restrained to three inches around the sword.
After a bit of hesitation, Hao Ji replied, "Fellow Cultivator Dugu, let's open up the path and try to break through the Puppet Path as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Dugu Tianfeng's right hand shook, and black Demonic Spiritual Energy gathered on the halberd and turned into a bolt of lightning. Then, he pointed the halberd at the beast-shaped puppet blocking his way, and the bolt of lightning struck from the left side of the puppet.
Hao Ji, who was on the right, didn't show any weakness. She controlled the soft sword in her hand to turn into a pink spirit light and attack from the right.
Yi Tian didn't care about the puppets blocking the path. In any case, with Dugu Tianfeng and Hao Ji working together, there shouldn't be anything that could stop the three of them.
Although his divine sense was suppressed by the restriction and couldn't extend more than five kilometers, the sounds in his ears confirmed that more and more cultivators were breaking through the outer restrictions.
The three of them were the second group of cultivators to enter, but Yi Tian heard at least three explosions. This meant that two more groups of cultivators had entered after the three of them.
They hadn't encountered anyone in this large area, but as they moved toward the Pill Pavilion, the chance of them encountering each other greatly increased. Perhaps he would find something good in here, but before he could be happy about it, it would be discovered by others.
Although the two people in front didn't stop moving their hands, half of their Divine Sense was also used to pay attention to the situation around them. Yi Tian saw Dugu Tianfeng's expression remain unchanged, but the power of his spell secretly increased by 30%.
Hao Ji also sensed the change and raised her eyebrows. The flying sword in her hand also gradually became sharper.
After the three of them walked forward for a while, they seemed to see the exit of the Puppet Tunnel. However, before they could rejoice, a 'ka' sound came from the surrounding stone walls and a stone door opened.
A humanoid puppet walked out of the stone door. It was dressed in the Li Fire Sect's inner disciple attire. The spiritual pressure it emitted immediately stunned the three people in front of it.
Yi Tian sized up the humanoid puppet in front of him. Its energy core's outer shell emitted a faint blue light. The four limbs that were exposed were black with a tinge of red.
The puppet was about eight feet tall and looked like a normal person. It didn't emit any spiritual pressure and when it was motionless, it was no different from an ordinary puppet. However, the three of them looked even more serious than before. For it to be assigned to guard the Puppet Tunnel, it was definitely not simple.
Dugu Tianfeng sized it up and said in a deep voice, "I'll test the puppet's strength first. Fellow Daoist Hao Ji, please hold the fort for me. Brother Yi, please join in as well. I estimate that the three of us will need to work together to escape unscathed."
Hao Ji echoed, "Fellow Daoist Dugu, don't worry. I'll keep an eye out."
Yi Tian only nodded slightly in response, then he focused his Divine Sense on the puppet, wanting to use it to investigate the situation. At the very least, he felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart. The puppet in front of him was definitely not easy to deal with.
Suddenly, Dugu Tianfeng moved the halberd in his hand, immediately condensing several thumb-sized bolts of black lightning that shot towards the puppet. In a blink of an eye, the puppet also moved. Furthermore, its actions were exactly the same as Dugu Tianfeng's. Furthermore, it condensed a red halberd of spiritual energy in its hand.
Immediately, Yi Tian, who was not far away, was shocked. He sighed in his heart, "I never expected the Li Fire Sect's puppet techniques to have reached such a level. The humanoid puppet in front of me can actually imitate its opponent's attacks. Forgive me for not noticing, but the moves used by the puppet are simply replicas of Dugu Tianfeng's."
What was even more shocking was that the red lightning in the puppet's hands actually disintegrated all of Dugu Tianfeng's moves. No, it was even more powerful. After three breaths of time, the red lightning bolt struck Dugu Tianfeng's body after defeating the incoming enemies.
When Dugu Tianfeng saw this, his expression changed as he immediately activated his protective barrier. With a series of crackling sounds, the red lightning struck the protective barrier, causing Dugu Tianfeng to retreat three steps.
After one move, even a mid-stage Yuanying cultivator was at a disadvantage in front of the puppet. Immediately, the three people present revealed looks of fear.
Without waiting for Yi Tian to make a move, Hao Ji, who was standing by the side, also made a move. She raised her right hand, and the spiritual sword in her hand was wrapped in a pink halo as it struck towards the puppet.
Indeed, the puppet's eyes flashed with a red light. With a flip of its hands, it condensed a spiritual sword of the same size and used the same move imprint.
After the two spells collided in midair, a series of 'ping ping ping ping' sounds rang out. Waves of intense spiritual pressure spread out in all directions, stirring up waves of spiritual pressure on the ground where the three of them were standing.
After ten seconds, it was clear that Hao Ji could no longer maintain a high-intensity offensive stance with her spells. Her opponent had temporarily gained the upper hand. Following that, her expression changed slightly as she hurriedly waved her hand to summon her spiritual sword back.
After two moves, the three of them became wary of the puppet in front of them. Clearly, in terms of strength, the puppet was definitely stronger than Hao Ji and Dugu Tianfeng. Furthermore, it could replicate the moves used by the other party.
If this carried on, the three of them would probably need to join forces to break through. At this moment, Dugu Tianfeng's face was solemn, while Hao Ji's expression was ugly. She turned her head and signaled Yi Tian with her eyes to give it a try.
