Chapter 1339

The secret treasure that guarded the outside of the body was destroyed, and the old woman’s withered body was directly exposed in the puppet’s big hand. As the big hand clenched, the sound of bones cracking, click, click, was creepy.

And after struggling for a while, the old woman realized that with her own strength, she simply couldn’t get rid of the current Jing. A hint of horror and shock couldn’t help but flash in the depths of her eyes. She turned her head and shouted at Yang Kai and the other three, “Save me!”

Just as the voice fell, a dull sound of pu came.

The old woman suddenly burst open, and blood splashed all over the sky. Her head fell from the air, and the look of disbelief and extreme unwillingness still remained in her eyes.

Although she had been extremely vigilant against this human-shaped statue for a long time, she never expected that the other party was not some mechanism that triggered the ban, but a real puppet!

Even a puppet that could move without being driven, this was completely unreasonable.

If Luo Lian Guang was here, perhaps he could have seen some clues, but among the four people here, none of them had the slightest understanding of the way of puppets. Before, they simply never expected that in this ancient ruin, there would actually be such a puppet.

Moreover, this puppet was no ordinary puppet. It could crush a Void Return Stage 1 cultivator to death with a single squeeze. One could imagine how fierce it was.

Just as the old woman died, a resolute look flashed in Yang Kai’s eyes. Staring at the circular gate between its legs, his figure flickered and he charged towards it. No matter what this puppet was standing here for, Yang Kai didn’t want to get entangled with it any longer. He just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

His speed was very fast, but the puppet’s reaction was also extremely quick. After crushing the old woman to death, its scarlet eyes fixed on Yang Kai who was dashing towards it. An extremely dangerous aura enveloped him from above. Yang Kai’s expression changed. With a thought, the purple shield that had already been sacrificed immediately surged with a large amount of wind and sand, turning into a sandstorm to protect his body.

Vaguely, Yang Kai saw a flash of light on the huge puppet’s hand. Then, a thick shadow smashed towards him.

Before it actually hit, Yang Kai felt that his breathing was a little difficult, as if this entire area of heaven and earth had been completely covered by this one shadow making him unable to help but have a thought that there was nowhere to hide.

Gritting his teeth, he activated the purple shield to its maximum power. At the same time, his Saint Yuan surged, forming a solid defense outside his body.

Boom… With a loud sound, the power of the sandstorm attached to the purple shield was under this blow. It was directly broken. and the shield itself was smashed with a burst of flashing light. Under the effect of the huge force, it flew far away. The next moment, Yang Kai felt his defensive Saint Yuan collapse, his body trembled, and he uncontrollably flew backward.

His blood and qi were churning, and a mouthful of pale golden blood spurted out from his mouth, turning into a blood mist.

Rumble… Yang Kai flew straight for more than a hundred zhang before his body hit a flower bed. The flower bed was smashed to pieces, and he landed in a sorry state.

Until now, he still didn’t see clearly what the opponent used to attack him. He only knew that a thick shadow swept towards him, and all his resistance and defense were in vain.

Falling down in the ruins of the flower bed, Yang Kai vomited a few more mouthfuls of blood before he could catch his breath. He forcibly cheered up and stood up, looking over there with lingering fear.

He had never suffered such a big hidden loss before, and the depression in his heart could be imagined.

If the purple shield hadn’t blocked for him just now, the injury he suffered might have been even more serious. Even so, the internal organs in his body were instantly displaced, and every part of his body intense pain. It gave him the illusion that his whole body was falling apart.

This made him both shocked and angry！

Looking up, after seeing the current situation clearly, his expression couldn’t help but freeze.

At this moment, the puppet was still standing in place as if it had never moved, and Cai He and Du Sisi, who were standing more than ten zhang in front of it, both had pale faces. As if they were stupid, they looked up at this awe-inspiring existence, but the puppet ignored them and didn’t mean to launch an attack.

In front of the puppet, however, a huge stick was erected and was now held in its giant palm.

It’s not appropriate to call it a stick. It should be a powerful stick-shaped secret treasure. The whole body is pitch black, and I don’t know what material it is made of. It is more than ten zhang long and as thick as a water bucket, looking extremely terrifying.

Yang Kai immediately understood that the shadow that had attacked him just now was this pitch-black giant stick.

Where did this thing come from？ A hint of surprise and doubt flickered deep in Yang Kai’s eyes. There was no such thing in front of the puppet before. However, when he tried to take the opportunity to rush out of the round door, Yang Kai did vaguely see a flash of light on the puppet’s hand. Could it have been taken out at that time？

Even though separated by a distance of a hundred zhang, Yang Kai could still feel a depressing atmosphere from that black giant stick. Moreover there were several strange characters engraved on the giant stick. These characters were exactly the same as those everyone saw when entering this ancient ruin, and no one knew what they were exactly.

Coughing lightly a few times, Yang Kai spat out a mouthful of blood and stared blankly at the puppet. Finding that it had no intention of chasing after him, his heart couldn’t help but relax.

And until now, Cai He and Du Sisi seemed to have just come back to their senses. Cai He’s body trembled as he looked at Du Sisi and whispered, “Sisi, retreat！”

Du Sisi’s beautiful face was bloodless, as if she still hadn’t recovered from the blow of the old woman’s death. Hearing this, she looked at Cai He and two tears uncontrollably slipped from the corners of her eyes.

She was extremely scared！

Although there had been some dangerous situations before, it was far from being as shocking as this time. The moment the old woman was squeezed into a blood mist, she saw it with her own eyes. The old woman’s head was still on the ground, staring at the direction where she was with wide eyes, as if blaming her for not rescuing herself.

Such a huge mental impact made her completely lose her composure and she simply didn’t know what to do.

Even though she heard Cai He’s reminder, she couldn’t move her steps, for fear that if she moved, she would be brutally killed.

Seeing this, Cai He was naturally extremely anxious. Although the puppet seemingly only guarded in front of the exit, who knew if it would suddenly strike. He certainly didn’t want to see the person he liked die in front of him and follow in the footsteps of the old woman.

In a hurry, Cai He’s figure flickered and he rushed to Du Sisi’s side, grabbed her and fled back the way they came without looking back.

It was not until they retreated to Yang Kai’s side that Cai He’s body went limp and he collapsed to the ground. The short distance of just a hundred feet seemed to have exhausted all his strength. His face was frighteningly pale and his teeth were constantly chattering, making a clicking sound.

Du Sisi was no better. That kind of scare made her lose her mind and her beautiful eyes were filled with panic and horror.

Although the old woman was only at the Void Return 1-layer realm, when she was alive, she could still make people feel a sense of backbone. But now that she is dead, there are only three Saint King realm cultivators left, making Du Sisi feel that she has lost the object she can rely on, and of course she is a bit flustered.

Yang Kai’s face was also gloomy and terrifying. Just being swept by that giant stick, he still hadn’t recovered until now. This was also because of him, with golden blood and a powerful recovery ability. If it were someone else who took such a blow, I’m afraid they would have to rest for at least a few months to recover.

After taking a few healing pills, Yang Kai sat cross-legged and adjusted his breath.

Anyway, first stabilize his own injury. As for how to leave this place, he could only make a long-term plan.

Half a day later, Yang Kai opened his eyes and silently checked his own situation.

Although the injury had not yet healed, it should not be a serious problem and did not affect his shot. And Cai He and Du Sisi, after half a day of adjustment, their states were also much better. However, Du Sisi’s eyes were a little red and swollen, and her expression was listless.

Although Cai He was not so embarrassed, a trace of despair and helplessness could also be seen in his eyes.

After all, that puppet had wiped out the Void Returning Mirror old woman with one blow. With it guarding in front of that round door, Cai He didn’t think that he and the others could pass through safely.

Glancing at the two of them, Yang Kai’s brows furrowed slightly, and he didn’t say anything. With a wave of his hand, the purple shield that had been sent flying earlier turned into a stream of light and flew back. Yang Kai inspected it for a while and found that there was actually a dent on the purple shield, and two finger-width cracks had appeared on the surface, and its spirituality had greatly diminished.

He couldn’t help but feel a little lingering fear. This purple shield was the product of Yang Yan’s two refinements. Its grade had reached the upper-grade Void Level. As a main defensive secret treasure, its firmness could be imagined.

Even so, after being hit by that pitch-black giant stick, it actually became like this. One could imagine how terrifying the force of that blow was.

Sighing slightly, Yang Kai put away the purple shield, Plan to let Yang Yan repair it again after returning. Then he stood up and looked at the huge puppet away. After a long while, his expression became solemn, and he walked towards it step by step.

“Brother Yang…” Cai He’s expression changed slightly when he saw this, and he hurriedly shouted, “What are you going to do?”

“Go and test its ability！” Yang Kai replied, turning his head.

“Test…” Cai He’s expression froze, and he said in surprise, “Isn’t this a bit too hasty？”

Seeing that the old woman had died miserably at the hands of the other party, he naturally wouldn’t be optimistic about Yang Kai. There was a big difference in strength between Yang Kai and the old woman. There was a good chance that he would also be like a meat bun beating a dog and never return.

“Can you stop being so impulsive?” Du Sisi, who had been looking listless all this time, suddenly shuddered and shrieked. “It has finally calmed down. Why are you provoking it? Do you want us all to die here?”

Yang Kai coldly sized her up.

Du Sisi’s gaze immediately became evasive, as if she didn’t dare to look at him directly. She nervously defended herself, saying, “That senior has already died. If you die too, what will happen to me and Cai He？”

Although she had a high opinion of herself and didn’t think much of the martial artists of the same generation, in the current situation, the more people there were, the more at ease she felt. It wasn’t that she cared much about Yang Kai. She just didn’t want to see any more casualties on their side. Otherwise, her sense of security would be even less.

Yang Kai said coldly, “So, in your opinion, what should we do？”

Du Sisi immediately became submissive and didn’t have any good suggestions.
