From Paper Craftsman to World-Suppressing Immortal

Tianjin, a dark and windy night.

Beside an abandoned, dilapidated house, Zhang Zhixuan witnessed for the first time a true Dharma Master unleashing their innate divine power.

Not far away, Pei Shouzhen stood on the open ground, his eyes bloodshot, his Taoist robe ripped open, revealing his explosively strong muscles.

"Divine Power: Blood Qi Smoke!"

As he unleashed his innate divine power, Pei Shouzhen's aura surged, and his skin turned an incomprehensible, fiery red.

Streams of smoke billowed from Pei Shouzhen's crimson body, quickly solidifying behind him into a gigantic phantom of smoke.

The enormous phantom was exactly like Pei Shouzhen, also holding two thick, long, and huge black iron rods in both hands. At this moment, the man and the phantom raised their hands high in unison, and then slammed them down to the ground!

"boom!"

The moment the black iron rod hit the ground, there was a deafening roar, as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had split open. Pei Shouzhen then followed the force of the impact and fell down.

"Is this the power of a Law Master's innate divine ability? The power to shatter the earth and cause mountains to collapse..."

Zhang Zhixuan was shocked. In his mind, Taoists were just figures who drew talismans and chanted incantations, but after meeting Pei Shouzhen, who was a disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain, this image was completely overturned.

"I wonder what kind of formidable figures are hidden among those major martial arts sects and orthodox esoteric schools..." Zhang Zhixuan took a deep breath, feeling that he had truly broadened his horizons and his perspective had instantly expanded considerably.

"Let's check the situation as soon as possible."

After all, now was not the time to reminisce about those things. Zhang Zhixuan composed himself and immediately walked to the collapsed hole to look down.

Below, in the dark cave, Pei Shouzhen, wielding two black iron rods, made a dramatic entrance, causing the earth to crack and mountains to collapse.

The two short, green-robed monsters, each less than 1.5 meters tall, looked like NBA basketball players facing kindergarten children compared to Pei Shouzhen's massive size of over two meters. This huge size difference was quite comical to Zhang Zhixuan, but it was a real threat to the two green-robed sorcerers.

Enemies meeting are bound to be hostile, and the three quickly clashed. Pei Shouzhen used his innate divine power to fight two opponents at once, even gaining the upper hand against them.

Meanwhile, Zhang Zhixuan also discovered the remains of his two paper puppet soldiers. This was all within his expectations. Paper puppet soldiers might have some advantages against ordinary people, but against the two sorcerers who had already awakened their innate powers, they would inevitably be destroyed.

Upon inspection, Zhang Zhixuan was surprised to find that one of the two paper puppet soldiers was completely destroyed, while the other had only had its leg burned off by the toad's venom. It could still move with difficulty, but due to its lack of mobility, it was clearly no longer a threat to the enemy.

Right now, Zhang Zhixuan was also thinking about his own safety. Without the protection of the paper puppet soldiers and Pei Shouzhen, he was just a weakling on his own.

With no other option, Zhang Zhixuan simply hid away, communicating with the paper puppet with its broken leg, while simultaneously gripping a paper knife, ready to urge the crippled paper puppet to make a final stand if necessary.

In that instant of synesthesia, Zhang Zhixuan was startled and suddenly realized something.

Then Zhang Zhixuan manipulated the paper puppet's hand to feel inside its body, and the next second, he pulled a Mauser pistol out of the paper puppet's stomach.

Zhang Zhixuan's eyes lit up. He almost forgot that after seizing the gun from the bandits, he had been hiding it inside the paper puppet.

Now that Zhang Zhixuan suddenly has a long-range weapon, he can find opportunities to launch surprise attacks and shoot from the shadows!

Zhang Zhixuan's paper puppet soldiers continuously scanned the battlefield, waiting for the right opportunity.

Finally, one of the short, green-robed sorcerers broke away from the battle.

The sorcerer was holding a bone staff and chanting incantations, clearly preparing to unleash some insidious and evil sorcery against Pei Shouzhen.

"Witchcraft master, still using traditional witchcraft? Times have changed!" Zhang Zhixuan chuckled sinisterly, raised his pistol, aimed, and fired!

"Bang!" A bullet was fired, hitting the sorcerer squarely in the shoulder. The force of the bullet caused a large chunk of flesh to explode from the sorcerer's shoulder.

The sorcerer holding the bone staff let out a hoarse scream, instinctively clutching the wound on his shoulder. He turned his head and stared with his sinister eyes at the cave entrance, where paper puppet soldiers lay on the ground.

The sneak attack was successful. Zhang Zhixuan tried to make the paper puppet soldiers play dead on the spot, but the enemy had already discovered it.

"Despicable villain, die!" The sorcerer raised his bone staff once more, preparing to cast a spell, but Zhang Zhixuan immediately raised his hand and fired another shot.

"Master sorcerer, is your incantation faster, or is my gun faster? Hehehe..." Zhang Zhixuan, hiding in the dilapidated house, let out a strange laugh and fired several shots at the sorcerer.

Having personally experienced the power of firearms, the sorcerer dared not be careless and quickly took cover.

Meanwhile, Zhang Zhixuan's frequent and rapid firing of the paper puppet soldiers constantly harassed the sorcerer's actions.

Finally, the sorcerer, having reached his limit, revealed his trump card: "Supernatural Power: Possession by a Witch Spirit!"

A chilling roar resounded, and the black energy in the bone staff in the sorcerer's hand surged, from which countless twisted phantoms of ghostly spirits emerged and surged into the sorcerer's body like a tidal wave.

Instantly, his body swelled up to a size larger, his skin turned bluish-black, his veins bulged like serpents, his eyes rolled back, and his body was surrounded by a chilling aura of death and resentment. As a result, his strength and speed increased several times over, transforming him into a bloodthirsty witch demon!

After transforming into a bloodthirsty and enraged witch, the opponent's primary target was the paper puppet controlled by Zhang Zhixuan, which was constantly launching sneak attacks. Given the difference in strength, the opponent only needed one strike to completely destroy the crippled paper puppet.

After completely destroying the paper puppet soldiers, the sorcerer, using his innate divine power, charged straight at Pei Shouzhen.

"Oh no, we have to fight this hard!" After being forced to disconnect his synesthesia, Zhang Zhixuan quickly returned to the cave entrance to observe the battle.

At the same time, he felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but worry. The other party was also at the same level as Pei Shouzhen and could use his own innate divine power. If the other one was also at the same level, then it would be two against one, and he feared that the battle would be unfavorable.

Zhang Zhixuan's mind raced, and his gaze fell on the sorcerer who was fiercely fighting Pei Shouzhen. At this moment, Pei Shouzhen had completely gained the upper hand, but the opponent showed no intention of using his innate divine power. However, with the addition of another sorcerer who had transformed into a bloodthirsty sorcerer, the two-on-one situation made the battle stalemate again.

Zhang Zhixuan immediately realized that there was probably a difference in strength between the two sorcerers, and the other one most likely had not yet awakened his innate divine power.

Just then, Zhang Zhixuan unexpectedly discovered that the Mauser pistol had fallen to the ground not far from him. Without saying a word, Zhang Zhixuan grabbed the edge of the collapsed hole and slid down little by little. After several twists and turns, he finally picked up the gun again.

Upon closer inspection, the pistol was slightly deformed, but overall intact, and contained three bullets.

"Let's take a gamble." Zhang Zhixuan looked at the three people fighting and slowly raised his pistol.

"Open the Eye of Treasure!" The moment the eye opened, various kinds of precious energy manifested.

However, when he activated his Eye of Insight beyond its capacity, Zhang Zhixuan felt a sharp pain and bloodshot eyes. He endured the pain, aimed at the sorcerer who did not possess any innate supernatural powers, seized the moment, and fired three shots in quick succession!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, hitting the target squarely. The sorcerer screamed in agony, and the next second, Pei Shouzhen's black iron rod swept across, smashing directly onto the sorcerer's head. Instantly, the sorcerer's brains splattered, and he died on the spot.

With the power of his treasure-gazing eye fading, Zhang Zhixuan felt as if his body had been completely hollowed out, and he collapsed, unable to move.

Upon witnessing his companion's tragic death, the sorcerer, who had transformed into a bloodthirsty demon, flew into a rage. He recklessly rushed past Pei Shouzhen, unleashing his black, poisonous aura to kill Zhang Zhixuan.

"I'm doomed, I'm going to die..." Zhang Zhixuan sighed inwardly, feeling regretful yet completely at peace.

Just as the bloodthirsty sorcerer's poisonous black energy struck Zhang Zhixuan, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

A jade cicada appeared out of thin air, transforming into a black hole and frantically absorbing the black poison and energy.

"What's going on? How did my Lord's sacred object end up here?"

The sorcerer found it hard to believe, but the pain of his strength being drained from his body caused him immense suffering.

Regardless, the tide has turned, and the game is over.

The sorcerer let out a desperate, unwilling roar, and his originally grotesque and enormous body rapidly decayed and withered, finally turning into a dried-up corpse that fell to the ground.

Pei Shouzhen and Zhang Zhixuan were both extremely shocked by the sudden turn of events.

The sorcerer, now a dried-up human body, let out a bitter laugh, his smile twisted and insane. With his last ounce of strength, he straightened his mangled body and uttered his final words in a hoarse voice.

"My Lord lives forever, eternally..." He then breathed his last and died.
