Fights Break Sphere: Thunder Shattered

Chapter 509 Would you even consider these things?

After taking the entire island in, Xiao Tian was almost completely exhausted.

The ancient forest that once existed is now nothing but endless, bottomless, enormous pits.

Only the lingering aroma of herbs in the air silently tells the story of how many medicinal herbs once grew here.

"Master, please take this pill." Xiao Huiying hurriedly came to Xiao Tian's side, helped him up, and put a pill into Xiao Tian's mouth.

This is an eighth-grade pill that restores fighting spirit. Given Xiao Tian and Xuan Yi's status as alchemists, Yun Yun and the others have many eighth-grade pills with various effects in their storage rings, such as healing, restoring fighting spirit, enhancing fighting spirit, strength, and so on.

After Xiao Tian took the pill, his fighting spirit recovered considerably.

The Five Elements Heavenly Thunder Technique, a mid-level Heavenly Rank cultivation technique, instantly activated on his body. The surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) was invisibly drawn towards him and absorbed into his body.

After absorbing all the energy of heaven and earth, Xiao Tian's complexion became rosy, and he even felt that his cultivation had increased slightly.

"Alright, there's nothing left here. Let's leave now and head to the next stop."

"Let's go! Let's go!!" Xiao Huiying cheered and grabbed Xiao Tian as they ran. "Let's quickly finish looting everything, and then we'll go back to the Free and Unfettered Realm to see that ancient forest."

Xiao Tian let the lively Xiao Huiying pull him along.

……

Inside the square, an old man in gray robes was fighting against ten puppets, while the others watched silently.

Finally, after the ten puppets formed a formation, the leading Earth Demon Puppet evolved and punched the gray-robed elder, a one-star Dou Zun, sending him flying backward, coughing up blood.

Then the puppet flashed, grabbed the old man's foot, pulled him back, and threw him into the middle of its formation.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, several puppets pulled out stools from somewhere and started a group fight.

"Wait, is this the puppet of a Dou Sheng? It looks like a thug or a hooligan."

For a moment, a flock of crows flew overhead, silently mourning for the old man in gray. Although he wouldn't be fatally injured, it was still a disgrace.

"Get out of my sight, all of you!!"

The gray-robed elder could no longer endure it and unleashed his full power without reservation, instantly sending all the puppets flying. The elder then took the opportunity to escape.

The flying puppet also took the opportunity to retreat back to the stone gate, and its face even vaguely showed a compassionate look similar to that of a monk.

The people around were slightly surprised by this turn of events, but that was all.

Then he looked at the old man in gray. He didn't seem to be injured, but there were footprints and bench marks on his body and even his face.

Many people's lips twitched slightly, as if they wanted to laugh but dared not.

However, through the old man's battle, everyone now understood the ultimate combat power of these puppets: a two-star Dou Zun, but their methods were somewhat extraordinary.

"It's the effect of that formation. It truly lives up to its reputation as a Dou Sheng expert. These ten Earth Demon Puppets, combined with that strange formation, are enough to contend with a two-star Dou Zun."

Xiao Yan had been observing these puppets and finally came to a conclusion, his eyes gleaming with a burning desire. He felt an absolute necessity to obtain these ten puppets. Combined with his Heavenly Demon Puppet, these puppets would unleash even greater power. What he truly desired was their core—this peculiar array formation technique.

"Yanran, don't you feel that the way these puppets move is a little familiar?" Xiao Yan scratched his head and asked Nalan Yanran beside him.

"There is a hint, but I can't quite place it. I feel like I've seen it somewhere before," Nalan Yanran said after a moment's thought upon hearing Xiao Yan's words.

Just then, the ten puppets that were still standing seemed to receive some kind of command, looked up in Xiao Yan's direction, and then their auras exploded, charging straight towards Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was also startled by the sudden appearance of the puppet, and his expression turned slightly ugly. He could feel that the puppet's aura was locked onto him.

Others also noticed this scene, especially those forces that harbored hatred towards Xiao Tian, ​​who couldn't help but sneer.

"Did this kid just do something that would incur divine wrath and public condemnation?"

"It's not impossible, otherwise why would this puppet suddenly look like it's ready to fight to the death with the other side?"

"Serves him right, serves him right. We'll take advantage of this opportunity to kill this kid, then we can have that woman with the special physique next to him completely at our mercy." The people from Ice River Valley all sneered, looking ready to make their move at any moment.

Although Tianhuo Venerable and Xiao Yan were puzzled as to why their puppets were rushing towards them, they had no time to think about it anymore, and all three of them assumed their battle stances.

"Young friend Xiao Yan, I'm coming," Tang Zhen said, leading the people of Burning Flame Valley towards Xiao Yan.

Before Tang Zhen could finish speaking, he was stunned by the scene before him.

These puppets, which had been so menacing, suddenly collapsed neatly to the ground when they were less than five meters away from Xiao Yan.

A cloud of dust rose up, and after the dust settled, it lay neatly on the ground, like a toy that had run out of power.

"Yan'er, the marks on these puppets have disappeared. Quickly take them away." Yao Lao's voice rang in Xiao Yan's mind.

Xiao Yan was instantly jolted awake, and then quickly put these puppets into his storage ring. While doing so, he didn't forget to imprint his soul mark on them.

"Teacher, what's going on?" Xiao Yan asked Yao Lao, puzzled.

"Just now, I sensed a familiar aura up there. Coupled with the gang-like beatings we did earlier, and the fact that these puppets suddenly appeared next to you, only that bored guy would do something like that."

"Teacher, you mean, Brother Tian?" Xiao Yan understood immediately after being pointed at by Yao Lao. "It does seem to be Brother Tian's style. The Xiaoyao Palace has this bench gang beating method, which is specially used to deal with those who come to show off their power."

"So that means Brother Tian has already gone inside."

"Nonsense, if he can control these puppets, he must have already gone inside."

"Why didn't you take away these puppets that day, Brother?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Lao's voice came with a hint of helplessness, "Do you think your brother would even look at these things?"

"Hehe, it seems that's true." Xiao Yan also remembered that his brother Tian really disliked these puppets, and given their strength, a puppet at the peak of the Dou Zong realm could be easily destroyed.
