With a pa , it was like an egg—crack and splat, and it turned into a pile of liquid. However, the liquid immediately began to squirm and creep towards the exposed puppet’s heart, apparently trying to reconstruct the body.
This girl’s brute force was truly terrifying, smashing such a strong puppet into pieces with a single attack.
Ling Han reached out and grabbed the puppet’s heart, pulling it out fiercely. The silver puppet immediately fell down feebly and continued to squirm, as if trying to turn into human shape, yet unable to do so no matter what.
On the other side, Hu Niu also picked up the the second puppet’s heart, disabling that puppet’s combat ability.
Ling Han waved his hand and stored the two silver puppet’s bodies into the Black Tower. He was going to study them; maybe the two puppet’s ability to battle could still be restored. In the future, they could be left with his parents, acting as their protection.
They continued towards the depths of the cave. Without walking far, another four silver puppets appeared, launching attacks towards them.
Ling Han was too lazy to attack. He pushed Helian Xun Xue out, and she shrieked as she swatted with the brick in a flurry. Pa, pa, pa , the four silver puppets were instantly smashed into pieces. Ling Han then unhurriedly picked up the puppet’s hearts, easily neutralizing this wave of attack.
Big Metal Head stared agape; the combination of the three was too frightening. From his point of view, the defense inside the cave was watertight, but in front of the three of them, this defense was like paper.
“Brother, this isn’t the most formidable puppet. The most formidable one is gold, you must be careful!” he warned, seeming to have completely swung in favor of Ling Han.
It couldn’t be helped. If Feng Wei Qi discovered that he’d brought people here, Feng Wei Qi definitely wouldn’t forgive him, so he could only place his hopes on Ling Han.
“Gold? How strong is it?” Ling Han asked.
Big Metal Head thought for a while, and guessed, “I fear it’s reached the Spiritual Infant Tier! I’ve only heard that there is such a guardian, but never seen it before.”
“Spiritual Infant Tier?” Ling Han revealed a thoughtful look. Spiritual Infant Tier beings weren’t too frightening; as long as Helian Xunxue or Hu Niu restrained it slightly, he could focus and release 10,000 Techniques Return to One—the explosive attack would be enough to cut down Spiritual Infant Tier opponents.
“Not afraid!” He laughed.
They continued to advance. This entire mountainside was probably all hollowed out—the space inside was ridiculously large. After walking for a while, four lofty statues stood in front of them majestically, each at least five meters tall.
“Strange, I’ve never seen these rock statues before?” Big Metal said, somewhat bewildered.
A chilling glare flashed across Ling Han’s eyes as he directly knocked out Big Metal Head and stored him into the Black Tower, then took out the Demon Birth Sword. He now had three high-class treasured swords, but Demon Birth Sword was definitely the strongest; this was undeniably a tenth-tier Spirit Tool.
Ka, ka, ka , the four statues trembled slightly, with dust falling off them continuously. Peng , the four statues took a step forward at the same time and revealed a field of resplendent golden light. Frightening aura circulated, making one’s skin almost feel as if it was ripped apart.
Spiritual Infant Tier puppets, as expected!
“Hai Niu, you hold them first,” Ling Han said with a smile, starting to accumulate power in preparation for unleashing the ultimate move.

Helian Xunxue charged up and swung the brick, smashing it at the four gold puppets.
Her brute force definitely surpassed the Spiritual Infant Tier. These four gold puppets were certainly in the Spiritual Infant Tier, but in front of her, they were fragile like infants as they were smacked flying continuously.
However, it was unknown what these four puppets were made of, for they showed no signs of breaking even after being smacked by the brick. A shallow cavity in the process of recovering slowly was the only damage they took.
This made Ling Han shocked, but if Feng Wei Qi was here, he would definitely be even more shocked—although these puppets only had Spiritual Infant Tier battle prowess, their quality was the Deity Transformation Tier. Yet, Helian Xun Xue made a cavity with a smash!
In contrast, not a damn thing happened to the brick in her hand; it was clear that its hardness was above eight-tier rare metal.
For Ling Han, accumulating power was just the time of a breath or two. When standing off against a great evenly matched enemy, this amount of time was enough to take his life, but he was now operating the sword without pressure, and naturally soon finished.
“Make way!” Ling Han shouted loudly and charged up. The Demon Birth Sword struck, and a thick long Sword Qi immediately flew out as if a divine dragon, sweeping at a puppet.
Being locked onto by his sword intent, and with the strike so fast, it was impossible to dodge. Moreover, the puppet didn’t even have the thought of dodging, simply turning and swatting its palm at Ling Han.
Peng!
The sword light swept by, and the puppet was severed by the waist. However, Ling Han also took a palm and was instantly sent flying, spitting out a streak of blood.
Spiritual Infant Tier was, after all, the Spiritual Infant Tier. Even Ling Han’s physique that was comparable to sixth-tier rare metal was insufficient as the palm attack made him hack out blood. Fortunately, he still wore the Thunder Battle Armor, and even if it wasn’t activated, it still eliminated part of the strike’s power; otherwise, Ling Han wouldn’t have gotten away with just hacking out a mouthful of blood.
Ling Han found his footing, his face somewhat pale, but his mind, Qi, and spirit were brimming with activity. His entire body’s Qi and blood boiled as Indestructible Heaven’s Scroll circulated within his body—the wounds were in the process of recovering quickly.
“Ling Han, you’re so great!” Hu Niu clapped; Ling Han cut such a large puppet cut in half with a single strike.
“Han Han’s so great!” Helian Xun Xue also clapped, forgetting that there were still three puppets attacking her. She immediately felt a gust of air, and it scared her into a wave of screams. She hurriedly swung the brick in her hand widlly, and pa, pa, pa , the three puppets were sent flying once again.
Ling Han targeted the second puppet; 10,000 Techniques Return to One was truly kickass! If he had just used Mysterious Three Thousand, then what effect could three thousand attacks even have on Deity Transformation Tier level rare metal?
But now, 10,000 Techniques Return to One combined with the Demon Birth Sword could even cut through such a rare metal. Of course, Ling Han also adhered a bone pattern into the Sword Qi, increasing its power; otherwise, it would still be able to harm the puppet, but it would be questionable whether it could directly cut the puppet in half.
He began to accumulate power, preparing for the second attack.
These pitiful puppets had no intelligence at all. Otherwise, after suffering a loss, they’d kill him first, or at least stop him from unleashing an ultimate move. However, they all tangled with Helian Xun Xue, almost as if they had to bite down this bone.
Xiu , Ling Han struck with the sword again.
Four continuous strikes swept by, and the four puppets also turned into eight chunks, with strange liquid oozing out from the severed areas, oily and unfamiliar.
Ling Han didn’t care that much, and first stored these puppets into the Black Tower; maybe these scraps could be reused.
He summoned Big Metal Head again, and said, “Continue to lead the way.”
“Brother, those golden puppets…?” Big Metal Head asked with a dreadfully pale face. He had only heard that those puppets were shockingly strong, but had never personally witnessed them. Now, Ling Han and the other two were here, but the four golden puppets disappeared
—how could he not be shocked.
“Stirred suddenly by amorous feelings, they went to make love,” Ling Han said thoughtlessly.
“Really?” Big Metal Head’s expression was full of doubt; puppets also had needs in that aspect?
“None of your business. Hurry up and lead the way!” Ling Han kicked him.
Big Metal Head trembled as he said, “Brother, this place is too dangerous. If you make me take the lead, I’ll die.”
“Believe it or not, but I’ll immediately make you die if you don’t.” Ling Han brandished the Demon Birth Sword.
Big Metal Head instantly didn’t dare to speak anymore and obediently stayed in front to lead the way.
Clanking sounds were heard ahead, probably made in the process of excavating something, and there was evidently light passing through. Ling Han walked quickly ahead and saw an obelisk that hadn’t been fully excavated. Below, many people were excavating, and it was unknown how much of it was left buried in the ground.
This obelisk was entirely black, and a flash of lightning could be seen flickering indistinctly, which indicated this materials specialness.
“Could it be dark jade?” Ling Han said to himself. “No, no, if it were dark jade, it would only be a fifth-tier material. Solely based on how grand this place looks, dark jade doesn’t seem to be qualified to be placed here. Moreover, dark jade fears lightning the most, so how could it have lightning flickering all over it?
“Go see and you’ll know,” Hu Niu said. Her thoughts were simple, and she obviously proceeded with the most direct method.
Ling Han laughed loudly, and said, “Hu Niu’s still smarter. Let’s go check it out.”
“Brother!” Big Metal Head hurriedly shouted, so anxious that his face turned green. “My boss is there! There!” He pointed ahead. A man in an embroidered gown stood in front of the obelisk with his back against them, seemingly in the process of studying this thing.
“That’s even better, go and greet him,” Ling Han said with a smile and kicked him.
“Aiyo,” Big Metal Head cried out as he flew out fast and, pa fell onto the ground firmly with all four limbs spread out.
This movement was too large. The man in embroidered gown immediately turned around, and the workers who were working hard also stopped and turned their heads to look.
“Big Metal Head?” The man in embroidered gown snorted deeply, and his expression revealed an intense fury and killing intent. This place was forbidden; no one could enter or leave, or else he wouldn’t have the puppets on guard.
He would put the workers to death in the future, and definitely wouldn’t let the secret out. However, one of his subordinates actually came here sneakily, making him extremely shocked. Could it be that what he saw as an impervious defense actually went wrong?
He was obviously Feng Wei Qi. His stature was tall and his face like a red date, appearing imposing without being angry.
“Big Metal Head, how did you come here?” he asked. There was a foolproof defense, so why was it broken through? He had to figure it out.
“This… this humble one admires the boss’s brilliance, and under the guidance of boss’s light, I came here unconsciously.” Big Metal Head spouted a mouthful of lies as cold sweat on his forehead dripped down profusely.
“Hmph, do you believe in your own words?” Feng Wei Qi sneered.
“Boss Feng, since Big Metal Head admires you so much, why won’t the two of you become soul mates?” Ling Han laughed as he walked out.

“Brother!” Big Metal Head hurriedly climbed up in a single movement, ran behind Ling Han, and said to Feng Wei Qi in an extremely arrogant manner, “The one surnamed Feng, seeing our big brother, why haven’t you knelt down to pay respects?”
This guy was really a fox exploiting a tiger’s might.
Feng Wei Qi instantly revealed a baleful expression. This guy who was always boot-licking actually dared to speak to him like this—the world really was turned upside down! He swept a glance at Ling Han with a grim smile, and said, “Big Metal Head, which nerve of yours went wrong to actually rely on an immature brat?”
“Nonesense, Ling Han’s not smelly at all!” Hu Niu said indignantly while pointing at Feng Wei Qi.
“Yes, yes, Ling Han’s not smelly at all!” Helian Xun Xue also cried injustice, and even breathed deeply on Ling Han’s body as proof, looking somewhat smitten.
“Brother, this guy actually dared to curse at you, beat him to death!” Big Metal Head said ferociously; he already betrayed Feng Wei Qi anyway, so he could only live if the latter died, and obviously wouldn’t mind stabbing the other person.
Ling Han laughed, and said, “Alright, you go!”
Big Metal Head was first delighted, but hearing the two words “you go,” he instantly revealed a bitter smile. If he could go, would Feng Wei Qi even have the chance to be the boss? He hurriedly said, “Brother, I can’t!”
“How can men say no!” Ling Han said seriously.
“Brother, I’m not a man!” Big Metal Head said shamelessly. He’d rather have his stick sliced off than fight with Feng Wei Qi—that would definitely end in death.
…Feng Wei Qi now definitely hated him to the core.
“Go!” Ling Han kicked Big Metal Head, who instantly flew out, ramming towards Feng Wei Qi.
“You court death!” Feng Wei Qi snorted. He took out a sanguine saber and sliced at Big Metal Head. Nine flashes of Saber Qi flew out, showing his impressive martial arts talent.
“S-save me!” Big Metal Head unleashed his weapon to ward off blows whilst shouting.
He was only in the second layer of the Flower Blossom Tier, but Feng Wei Qi was at the ninth layer, and even reached the peak stage; as he he couldn’t break through to the Spiritual Infant Tier, he sharpened his cultivation at the Flower Blossom Tier to an extremely solid level, and reached a battle prowess of fifteen stars.
Big Metal Head wasn’t at genius level, so how could he be well-matched? In only two moves, he was struck flying by the saber, and blood splattered as he fell beside Ling Han’s feet with a pa ‘
“Hmm, why have you come back? Didn’t I make you cut off that guy’s damn head?” Ling Han said with a smile and kicked once more.
Big Metal Head spat out blood while hugging tightly onto Ling Han’s feet and weeping. “Brother, I’ll really die if I fight anymore!”
“Hugging so tightly means you still have strength, and aren’t lacking ability to fight.” Ling Han launched his foot again, kicking Big Metal Head out. Big Metal Head might look pitiful and obedient, but thinking about the dirty dealings he’d done, why show sympathy for such a person?
Just let the two dogs bite each other.
“Boss, I was wrong! I was wrong!” Big Metal Head betrayed once again, kneeling before Feng Wei Qi. “Boss, I had no other way. This brat was going to bust my anus, so I had no choice but to betray you. In truth, my heart was always with you, Boss, and there was never a moment where I thought of betraying.”
Even Feng Wei Qi shivered; he’d seen shameless people, but never one so shameless. He laughed grimly, and said, “Since that’s so, you can take revenge by killing that brat.”
“Ah…” Big Metal Head raised his head, stunned all over the face. There was no playing like this, both having him take the vanguard when he was only so capable; they thought too highly of him.
“Not going?” Feng Wei Qi’s eyes beamed with an ominous glint as he clenched the saber in his hand a little tighter.
“I’ll go, I’m a bastard if I don’t go!” Big Metal Head hurriedly stood up and turned to face Ling Han, wearing a sour expression as tears flowed out. He walked towards Ling Han, but after a few steps, he said, “Brother, Boss, how about everyone sit down, drink tea and chat, and discuss martial arts?”
“Get out the way!” Feng Wei Qi was first to find it unbearable, hacking with the saber from behind. Pu , Big Metal Head was instantly cut into
two parts. He looked coldly at Ling Han, and said, “Since you’ve come here, don’t think of going out.”
“Is that so?” Ling Han smiled slightly, and observed the surroundings. “What is this place?”
“Does a dead man need to know so much?” Feng Wei Qi said coldly, and took out an umbrella, small and dainty. He tossed it up in the air, and it automatically opened, revolving round and round and continuously enlarging.
“Since I’m a dead man, then what does it matter if I know a little more?” Ling Han said with a smile.
“Like I said, a dead man doesn’t need to know that much!” Feng Wei Qi shouted sharply, and that parasol instantly unleashed a strange power. All space that was shrouded by it underwent a strange change.
“Hmm?” Ling Han was slightly surprised, because he suddenly couldn’t feel the five elements Spiritual Qi.
“Hahahaha, discovered what’s wrong?” Feng Wei Qi laughed loudly. “This was left from the ancient period. It’s Myriad Gauze Parasol, which can blot out the sun and cover the sky! Now, I’ve covered the five elements Spiritual Qi with Myriad Gauze Parasol!
“Flower Blossom Tier warriors are strong because they can draw the blessing of heaven and earth’s Spiritual Qi with every strike and erupt with hundred times their power. But now, the five elements Spiritual Qi has been eclipsed by Myraid Gauze Parasol, and when you can’t borrow power, you’re only a tiny bit stronger than the Spiritual Pedestal Tier warrior.”
Ling Han was astounded, and said, “This truly is a good thing.” He also cultivated physical arts concurrently. If the five elements and thunder Spiritual Qi were all obstructed, then he could still fight a Spiritual Infant Tier with his own brute force, right?
“Die!” Feng Wei Qi charged over, and as the saber swept by, the power of lightning was raised.
“No wonder you chose to obstruct the five elements Spiritual Qi. So you actually cultivate the power of lightning.” Ling Han suddenly realized. He drew his sword to greet the enemy. As expected, the five elements Spiritual Qi had been obstructed, and his sword attack couldn’t receive the boost of heaven and earth’s Spiritual Qi, deceasing sharply in power.
