The 83rd Cave Mansion Collapses

  Xia Chen's face was devoid of any blood color, and even moving slightly was extremely difficult. However, his gaze was icy cold, and the killing intent in his heart was so intense that he said in a low voice: "You people, today you will all die."

  His eyes flashed, and the puppet suddenly moved. After being hit by the symbol sword, it was not damaged at all.

  Its speed seemed a bit slow, but in one breath, it immediately turned into an indistinct black shadow that rushed to Ling Luo Tian's face.

  "Get out!" Ling's anger flared up, and before she could clearly see what was in front of her, she kicked out with one foot.

  Bang! This kick directly kicked the iron plate, Ling Luo Tian let out a loud cry, his face twisted in pain, as if his five toes had been shattered. Before he could react, a black iron fist with a terrifying wind sound heavily smashed into his chest.

  The cry of the fallen sky suddenly stopped, like a kite with a broken string flying backwards and out, a clear depression could be seen on his chest, when he fell to the ground, he was already motionless, it was unknown whether he was alive or dead.

  The puppet revealed a black figure as hard as iron, slowly retracting its fist. It had no expression, only its eyes gleaming with a sharp light, making people tremble with fear at the sight of it.

  One punch and this half-step later heaven eight heavy expert was beaten to death.

  "Ling Shixiong!" Yan Bing and others exclaimed as they rushed up to support Ling Luotian.

  Every Hao Ran Sect disciple was staring at the puppet in extreme terror, even Ling Luo Tian was punched flying. If they stepped forward, they would naturally be killed without any suspense.

  The man in blue and Zhan Tingting saw Xia Chen's Blood Puppet completed, causing the Sword Symbol to fail again, and they couldn't help but be shocked. But then they saw Xia Chen severely injured and vomiting blood, and they couldn't help but feel great joy, stepping forward to launch a pincer attack to kill Xia Chen.

  But just as they had covered half the distance, they saw this scene and involuntarily stopped in their tracks, exchanging a glance with each other, their eyes filled with fear.

  This puppet actually knocked Ling Luotian flying with one punch. If it were them, the outcome wouldn't be much better.

  Xia Chen leaned against the wall and struggled to stand up, saying coldly: "You will all be buried in this ancient underground palace today."

  His mind and puppet were completely connected, and with a thought, the puppet moved like an arm, flashing towards the man in green again.

  As he ran, the puppet's arms shook and his fists instantly transformed into five fist shadows that heavily smashed towards the blue-clothed man's chest, which was precisely the Seven Shadow Fist.

  If it weren't for the puppet lacking true energy, Xia Chen could even mimic the Heaven Splitting Sword.

  The man in the green robe was greatly shocked, this puppet was so terrifying that he didn't dare to confront it head-on. His body flashed back like lightning, and with a series of swift finger taps, three post-heavenly true fires shot out, each one more ferocious than the last, blasting towards the puppet.

  The puppet didn't dodge or yield, and even its footsteps didn't stop. Its large hands grasped again and again, but the flames that could melt steel were suddenly extinguished with a "poof" sound, yet it had no effect on him at all.

  The young man in blue's heart sank at once, and the horror of this puppet was beyond his imagination.

  After extinguishing the third path of Tianzhen Fire, the puppet suddenly accelerated and rushed to the front of the blue-clothed man like a ghost, with a terrifying fist shadow overlapping and hitting the chest of the blue-clothed man.

  The man in blue robes changed color, in the midst of danger, he didn't have time to dodge, so he could only glare with his eyes wide open, concentrate all his true energy, and fiercely slap out a palm, hardening against the puppet's fist shadow.

  Bang! The man in green clothes and Ling Luo Tian also flew out, and the blood was spraying wildly in mid-air. Although they hadn't passed out yet, their faces were pale and they were severely injured all over.

  The power of this puppet, although it is still not at the level of a divine realm, is also not something that a mortal cultivator can contend with.

  He spat out another mouthful of blood, and the man in green clothes rushed towards Xuan Tingting, shouting: "Do you have any trump cards? If you do, bring them out. Otherwise, we'll all die here today."

  Zhan Tingting's face turned iron-green, she gritted her teeth, and suddenly took out a palm-sized jade carving from her bosom. The jade carving was in the shape of a five-stringed zither, carved vividly, especially the hair-like strings were slightly waving, as if they could be played to produce music.

  "There is the divine thought of my Luoyu Sect's founder contained within, as long as I crush this jade carving, everyone in the great hall will be affected by the divine thought. You dare to take another step, and I'll crush it!" Xuan Tingting shouted loudly.

  She knew that Xia Chen was the one who could truly control the puppet, so she aimed the five-stringed qin jade carving at Xia Chen.

  Xia Chen's face changed greatly, and the puppet's body suddenly stopped, only about 15 meters away from Zhan Tingting.

  The divine thought of the cultivator is enough to instantly kill everyone!

  The man in the green shirt rushed to Zhan Tingting's side, saw the puppet stop moving, and only then did he put down his heart, which had been raised to his throat. If it was just a little slower, the puppet would have caught up with him.

  With this puppet's terrifying power, just one more punch would be enough to kill the man in green clothes, whether he blocked it or not.

  "I don't want to perish with him, can your jade slip withstand a divine thought attack?" Xuan Tingting asked.

  The man in green said: "I don't know if I can block it, but since our lives are at stake now, let's give it a try!"

  "Alright, let's bet on it. I don't believe he has any more trump cards to block the divine thought of my Luoyu Sect's founder!" Xuan Tingting's eyes flashed with cold light as she was about to crush the jade carving.

  Xia Chen gritted his teeth and was about to let the puppet thoroughly kill the two, but he didn't have the protection of the jade slip, so he could only choose to perish together with them.

  Suddenly, a loud noise came, as if it was a thunderclap on a clear sky, and everyone was stunned for a moment.

  Only the vaulted ceiling and four walls of the underground bedroom were seen, with a dazzling flash of light, emitting a loud explosive sound, and it was unknown what had happened.

  Behind the flashing light, the ceiling and walls have countless cracks extending.

  Everyone was stunned at once and didn't know what had happened.

  "Take away the treasure, the cave will collapse immediately, leave the cave quickly." The voice of Lie Yunzi came from the jade slip in Xia Chen's hand.

  Xia Chen reacted almost without thinking, and the puppet suddenly jumped into the air, its large hands grasping continuously. In just a few breaths, it had swept away most of the magical treasures and techniques that had not been collected from above the palace.

  Immediately following, the puppet flashed before Xia Chen, collecting the skills and treasures into his storage space, then grabbed Xia Chen with a large hand, carrying him on his shoulder, without any hesitation, rushing straight towards the exit of the divine image.

  "Damn it, he's going to run!" The man in green clothes was stunned for a moment before regaining his senses and furiously roared, "Quickly crush the Divine Mind Jade Carving, stop him! This bastard has taken away most of our treasures!"

  "No way!" Xuan Tingting also came to her senses, but she had a clear understanding of the situation. With an iron tone, "It seems that this place is going to collapse, we must leave immediately, otherwise we will all be buried here."

  She rushed hastily to Lin Mengru and others, shouting: "Let's go quickly!" As she spoke, she led the crowd towards the exit.

  The man in blue clothes glanced at her, although he was very unwilling, but also knew that now is the time when Xia Chen and two are both injured, seeing that the roof of the bedroom already has mud, sand and broken stones falling down, apparently it will collapse in a moment, sighed and ran towards the exit.

  Although most of the treasures were taken by Xia Chen, he and Zhan Tingting also took a few pieces of Gongfa treasure earlier, so it wasn't a wasted trip to the ancient vault.

  Yan Bing picked up Ling Luotian's body and shouted: "We're leaving too!" And with that, he and Qi Shi brothers rushed towards the exit.

  As for Qin An and the several elders of the Baibao Pavilion, after receiving a few magical artifacts and techniques, they had already quietly retreated, and even walked ahead of Xia Chen.

  The puppet bounced off the wall of the bedroom several times, like a cannonball jumping out, and in an instant, it knocked the god statue at the exit into pieces, and then came to the center of the main hall.

  The Forbidden City's banister was flashing rapidly, emitting a loud crashing sound, and several pillars were already slowly cracking and tilting, with half of the ceiling collapsing downwards.

  Xia Chen crouched on the puppet's body, intending to throw down the Lihuo Symbol and the Bingbing Symbol, burying the Haoran Sect, the Luoyu Sect, and that man in green clothes all in the underground palace. But after a moment's thought, he couldn't help but shake his head.

  He didn't want to show mercy, but there was still Lin Mengru in the Luoyu faction. Although he had no feelings for Lin Mengru anymore, even considering their past relationship, Xia Chen didn't want to kill her.

  Moreover, in front of the ancient Tibetan forbidden gate, Lin Mengru's words with a hint of regret made Xia Chen's heart feel somewhat desolate.

  Lin Mengru, good luck... Xia Chen thought, and the puppet turned into a black shadow, leaving the main palace in an instant.

  Although the puppet's body was extremely powerful, the speed at which it burned through the yuan stones was also terrifying. In just this short period of time, a precious yuan stone had already been completely incinerated, and it had begun burning its second one.

  Before gaining true safety, Xia Chen was also being cautious.

  The puppet quickly crossed the main palace steps, and then swept past the rich water pool. Suddenly, several people appeared in front of them, who were about to hastily enter the passage leading to the control hall.

  These few people were precisely Qin An and others who had left ahead of time, but they were quickly caught up by Xia Chen.

  Xia Chen's heart moved, Qin An and the others were not greedy, they took a few magical artifacts and cultivation methods and left, so they unexpectedly got the most things and were also the safest, except for him.

  Hearing the footsteps behind them, Qin An and others turned around, their faces immediately pale. Before they left, they had already seen how Xia Chen drove the puppet to smash Ling Luotian until he was on the verge of death.

  This powerful puppet treasure might be enough to instantly kill all of them, although there was no grudge between Xia Chen and the others, but in this ancient place, who knew if they could be trusted?

  Qin An chuckled twice and was about to say a few polite words, after all, Xia Chen was also a distinguished guest of the Baibao Pavilion, and wouldn't attack him as soon as they met.

  Who would have thought that Xia Chen had not stopped, with a swish, he swiftly rushed past several people, and at the same time, he threw out two inferior treasure pills' medicine bottles and two rare refining materials which suddenly flew towards Qin An.

  "Qin Gezhu, thank you for your kindness. These four treasures are yours, as a token of gratitude for your help. Don't forget to reserve a VIP seat for me at the Baibao Pavilion, who knows when we might cooperate again." Xia Chen's voice faded away quickly into the distance.
