Chapter 2145

That puppet had a strange shape. It looked like a large upright walking lizard. Its front limbs were short, and its hind limbs were extremely developed. There was an indescribable ferocious atmosphere lingering around its whole body.

As soon as it looked at Yang Kai, it immediately opened its big mouth and spat out a bright red light from its mouth.

“Even a random strike has the strength of the Dao Source Realm？ These puppets… are extraordinary！” Yang Kai felt the impact of energy from that ray of light. With a slight change in his face, he immediately dodged to the side.

Sou…

That ray of light passed by Yang Kai’s body and happened to hit a martial artist who came in after him.

This martial artist was still quite lucky. Because before coming in, he had already sacrificed a defensive secret treasure in the shape of a treasure armor and put it on his body.

His original intention was to prevent Wu Chang from suddenly launching a killing move, but unexpectedly, it saved his life by chance.

Boom… With a loud noise, this martial artist couldn’t help but stagger back a few steps. The light on the treasure armor flashed wildly, and he let out a shocked cry： “What the hell is this？”

And at this moment, a large group of people rushed in from the entrance. Even Gong Wenshan, who was at the rear, showed his figure.

It can be said that among the martial artists who stayed outside the Time Temple before, except for the few who were killed by Wu Chang, only three were excluded and failed to come in.

As soon as the number of living beings increased, those puppets that were besieging Xiao Chen and others also scattered in all directions to look for enemies. Xiao Chen and others suddenly felt a great reduction in pressure. Holding back a bellyful of anger, they continuously launched killing moves, knocking the nearby puppets to the ground. From time to time, puppets were shattered into pieces by the powerful attacks and scattered all over the ground.

And inside the shattered puppets, there was always a crystal about the size of a fist, exuding a strong energy fluctuation.

“Spiritual Energy Heart！” Someone exclaimed in surprise, looking greedily at that crystal.

Yang Kai’s heart moved. He also instantly realized what this thing was.

The Spiritual Energy Heart was precisely the core component of the puppet. Without this thing, no matter how lifelike the puppet was, it was just a dead thing. Only when the Spiritual Energy Heart was installed could the puppet truly operate.

However, the Psionic Heart is extremely difficult to refine. It requires the cooperation of a master refiner and a puppeteer to have a chance of successful refinement. Therefore, its value has always been considerable, especially for high-grade Psionic Hearts which are even rarer and more sought-after.

There are more than a hundred puppets in the main hall, and each puppet is at the level of Daoyuan Realm or above. In other words, there are more than a hundred Psionic Hearts here！

If these Psionic Hearts can all be taken out and then find a puppeteer to refine the puppet shells and install them, then a puppet army at the Daoyuan Realm level can be created！

Warriors like Xiao Chen, Kong Qi, and Xiao Baiyi, who come from top forces, may not care too much about the value of these Psionic Hearts, but it is different for those warriors from small sects and small families. In these forces, it is often extremely difficult to cultivate a Daoyuan Realm warrior, but a Psionic Heart is equivalent to the combat power of a Daoyuan Realm.

Based on this reason, how could those warriors not fight for it？ Even if their own sect cannot refine the puppet shell, a Psionic Heart can also be sold for a lot of source crystals.

So after the initial chaos, all the warriors who rushed in were bloodthirsty and sacrificed their own secret treasures one after another are performing their killing moves and hitting those puppets.

Even though the number of puppets was huge and their strength was not bad, puppets without anyone to control them simply could not unleash their full strength, so they quickly fell into a rhythm of successive defeats.

The martial artists who rushed in, however, ignored all this. Some besieged in groups of three or five, while others single-handedly challenged with full confidence. Almost every moment, puppets were being shattered. And the price paid by the martial artists was extremely small. Only a few people were severely injured, and not a single person died.

Yang Kai also took the opportunity to kill several puppets, harvested several spiritual energy hearts, and casually threw them into the space ring.

As time passed, the number of puppets in the great hall was getting fewer and fewer. And the martial artists became more and more courageous as they fought. It was only a matter of time before all the puppets were wiped out.

Just at this time…

A dazzling ray of light suddenly burst out from somewhere in the crowd. Everyone was slightly startled and all concentrated their gaze.

I saw that in the mid-air, a five-pointed star-shaped ray of light twirled a few times, and then, with lightning speed, it instantly turned into a stream of light and drilled into the arm of a male martial artist.

That martial artist seemed not to have understood what had happened. He only felt a burning pain in his arm, which made him cry out in surprise.

“Five-pointed star mark！” Lan Xun’s beautiful eyes lit up, and she shouted in a charming voice.

“There are star prints on these puppets… Youdaoplaceholder0? Xiao Chen had a complicated expression on his face as he turned his head to look at the puppets around him trying to find out if there were any other star prints.

The number of puppets he had shattered was at least six or seven, but this kind of good thing didn’t fall on his head, which inevitably made xiao Chen feel a bit uncomfortable in his heart.

“Huh?” This is a star print? After hearing that male martial artist was stunned for a while, and then grinned and laughed loudly: “I actually got a star print?” Hahaha, it seems that the heavens are also favoring me.”

His face was filled with joy and he laughed loudly.

Although some people around him didn’t like his publicity, they could only envy him.

However, after this scene, the interest of the martial artists in killing and fighting for the puppets had obviously increased a lot and there was actually a scene where several people were scrambling for one puppet.

In a certain place in the great hall, a man and a woman, seemingly fellow disciples, were nervously and apprehensively attacking a leopard-shaped puppet together.

This puppet looked almost no different from a real leopard, and it was extremely flexible in its movements, but fortunately, this puppet didn’t seem to have any other skills except for close-range pouncing and biting.

So although the strength of these two people was not too high, it was not a problem to take it down.

What made the two people nervous was not the strength of this cheetah puppet, but a triangular mark on its forehead！

That mark was not at all strange. If it were before, these two people might not have paid much attention, but after experiencing such a scene just now, how could they not guess that this was most likely a star mark？

Dozens of star marks had fallen into the Temple of Years before and were hidden in various corners of this temple. It was normal for there to be three or five star marks among these hundreds of puppets.

The senior brother and junior sister did not come from a high background, and their strength was not too strong. They were afraid that after killing this cheetah puppet, the vision of obtaining the star mark would be discovered by others, thus sowing the seeds of disaster or something…

Don’t look at the guy who obtained the five-pointed star mark looking happy now. He must have been targeted by many people and would be attacked as soon as he was alone.

Thinking of this, the senior brother and junior sister looked at each other and nodded as if they had a tacit understanding. They did not immediately strike to kill, but fought and retreated, leading the cheetah puppet in front of them towards the depths of the temple, Youdaoplaceholder0 to get out of the sight of the crowd and then to get the star mark.

The hall was in chaos. Even though the actions of these two people were a bit more obvious, no one would pay attention, just thinking that their strength was not enough and they were forced to do so.

The plan and actions of the two people were very successful, but just as they were about to leave the crowd, a figure suddenly descended from the sky, with one hand forming a fist and smashing down hard.

The hearts of the senior brother and sister suddenly sank, and it was too late to make a move.

With a boom.

The cheetah puppet was directly smashed to pieces, and at the same time as the puppet shattered. The triangular mark on its forehead really shot out, blooming with light, and shooting towards the figure falling from the sky.

“Just a triangular star mark？” The figure glanced at the back of his hand and said something seemingly very dissatisfied, and turned around to attack other puppets.

Seeing this situation, the woman among the senior brother and sister bit her red lip and was about to open her mouth to say something.

But the man’s face changed, he pulled the woman’s clothes, slowly shook his head, and said in a low voice： “This person is called Luo Yuan… We can’t afford to mess with him.”

“But that star mark…” The woman had an unwilling expression on her face.

The man smiled bitterly： “Just pretend we didn’t find it.”

“That was clearly ours.” The woman said angrily. If they had known that Luo Yuan would suddenly kill out, they might as well have solved the cheetah puppet earlier, and also saved the trouble of making a wedding dress for others.

The man comforted her with kind words for a while, and then the woman gave up the trouble of going to reason with Luo Yuan.

The man understood. There is no reason to talk to a person like Luo Yuan. If you reason with him, he will talk to you with his fists.

The killing in the great hall lasted for a full hour. Youdaoplaceholder1 of top-notch Dao Source Jing martial artists from various majors sects and families in the Southern Territory, after paying some slight prices, finally wiped out all those puppets.

Not to mention the considerable gain of the Spiritual Energy Heart. Just the Star Seals, three of them appeared. Besides the five-pointed Star Seal obtained by that man at the beginning and Luo Yuan’s triangular Star Seal, another diamond-shaped Star Seal the same as the one on Yang Kai’s hand appeared.

This Star Seal was luckily obtained by Murong Xiaoxiao. Naturally, Xiaoxiao was so happy that she beamed with smiles because in this way, she would be qualified to enter the Broken Star Sea and seek her own Emperor’s Path.

And it was only at this time that everyone had the time to carefully look at this great hall.

The great hall covered a rather wide area. At the moment, there were puppet fragments all over the ground. Looking ahead, there was an obvious passageway, which seemed to be the only exit.

There were no puppets guarding the exit, nor any traces of restriction arrays. It seemed very safe.

However, everyone was a cautious person and did not rashly walk towards that exit. Instead, they each found a place to sit cross-legged and meditate, restoring their spirit while waiting for the first person to stand up and be the first to eat the crab.

Kong Qi of the Seven Luminaries Chamber of Commerce suddenly came up behind Gong Wenshan again, cupped his fists with a flattering expression and asked, “Brother Gong, what do you think of the situation over there？”

Gong Wenshan narrowed his eyes and looked at him, saying, “Brother Kong, I find that you… have become even more shameless than before. Why do you ask me everything? This Hall of Time and Space wasn’t created by me.”

Kong Qi chuckled, “not taking it to heart and said,” “The capable are always busy. With Brother Gong’s understanding of the power of array restrictions, if there are really any dangers over there, wouldn’t you see through them immediately.”

“Since you are so shamelessly flattering me…” Gong Wenshan snorted, reluctantly stood up and walked towards that side, saying, “Then I’ll just go and take a look.
