Chapter 1379 - Retreating in Defeat

Chapter 1379: Retreating in Defeat

The moment they saw the Grade 7 Creation Green Lotus, a mysterious change happened between the Dongfang and Ximen aristocratic families.

The two aristocratic families could divide and occupy the primordial divine spring together.

However, there was only a single Grade 7 Creation Green Lotus!

“Fufu,”

The Dongfang family master chuckled. “Brother Ximen, we’ll follow our original plan and rush in to suppress Desolate Martial. As to who will get their hands on the Grade 7 Creation Green Lotus, why don’t we take a breather and discuss it later?”

“No problem,”

The Ximen family master nodded as well.

If the two aristocratic families were to fight because of this universal utmost treasure before Desolate Martial was suppressed, that would be the greatest joke!

The gaze of the Dongfang family master shifted to the dozens of stone statue puppets at the entrance of the hall and he sneered, “Little girl, you’re truly way too naive to think that you can stop us with just a few puppets!”

“Brother Dongfang, don’t underestimate these puppets. They are rather special to be able to block my visual technique,” The Ximen family master said.

“They’re just a bunch of useless rocks without Essence Spirits and can’t use Dharmic arts. What’s the big deal?”

The Dongfang family master waved his hand and ordered, “Attack!”

Two Conjoint Body Mighty Figures could not hold it in and appeared right away, charging towards the hall.

“Get lost!”

The Mighty Figure of the Dongfang aristocratic family wielded a gigantic spear. As the spear quivered, Dharmic powers surged and the void distorted, as though a vortex had formed that could devour and crush everything!

In the hall, Beiming Xue’s face was pale.

Although she was standing in the hall, the aftershock of the attack from a Conjoint Body Mighty Figure was enough to make her feel extremely uncomfortable. In fact, she could not even control her body as she staggered towards the entrance of the hall!

The power of a Conjoint Body was way too strong!

Beiming Xue was only at the Golden Core realm after all.

All of a sudden!

The Grade 7 Creation Green Lotus behind Beiming Xue swayed gently and emanated rays of light that enveloped her, neutralizing the power of the Conjoint Body Mighty Figure.

Beiming Xue retreated hurriedly away from the entrance of the hall and could only command the 18 stone statue puppets to guard the hall!

“It’s truly an utmost treasure of the universe. To think that it can possess such a mysterious power to be able to protect its master on its own.”

Upon seeing that, the gazes of the Conjoint Body Mighty Figures of the two aristocratic families turned increasingly fervent.

A stone statue puppet with a spear struck at the same time and thrust forward forcefully.

There were no Dharmic powers or mysterious moves. However, an extremely terrifying power was released the moment it attacked!

Boom!

The two spears collided with a loud bang!

The stone statue puppet did not retreat at all and managed to defend against the attack of the Mighty Figure of the Dongfang aristocratic family completely!

A Conjoint Body Mighty Figure of the Ximen aristocratic family had already arrived.

He swiped his storage bag and a cold flying sword appeared. Turning into a streak of light, it arrived before a stone statue puppet instantly!

Clang!

The sword was extremely fast and pierced the chest of the stone statue puppet instantly—it did not manage to pierce it at all!

On the contrary, the stone statue puppet reacted and raised the gigantic sword in its hands, sending the flying sword flying into the distance.

Upon seeing that, apart from the two family masters, the other Conjoint Body Mighty Figures attacked as well.

The battlefield was not considered spacious and 18 stone statue puppets guarded the entrance of the hall. Although the attacks of the Conjoint Body Mighty Figures were ferocious, they could not charge in right away.

The two family masters stood with their hands behind their backs in no hurry.

Indeed, those stone statue puppets were extremely unique and their combat strength was comparable to Conjoint Body Mighty Figures. Even in the current Puppet Sect, they were extremely rare.

Furthermore, those stone statue puppets were invulnerable to weapons and possessed immense strength. Even some Mighty Figure Dharmic weapons could not damage their foundation.

Of course, the two family masters had already discovered the weakness of the stone statue puppets within that short period of time!

Firstly, the stone statue puppets had been buried for too long.

Passed down from the ancient era until now, even the best rocks were inevitably corroded by time and were far inferior compared to before.

Even the lifespan of a Mahayana Patriarch was only 100,000 years!

Countless hundred thousand years have passed since the ancient era!

The two family masters watched carefully. Although Mighty Figure Dharmic weapons could not severely injure the stone statue puppets, some stone fragments would definitely be chipped off after the puppets were struck.

The reason why puppets could move like living beings was because of the existence of seals.

If the seals on the puppets were destroyed, the puppets would become a bunch of useless rocks without any combat strength!

Furthermore, the stone statue puppets could not use Dharmic arts and they were slow and not as agile as cultivators.

Before long, the stone statue puppets were filled with injuries.

Cracks appeared one after another on their massive bodies!

Some of the ancient seals on the puppets had already been destroyed and they were moving even slower and much weaker than before.

“Brother Ximen, let’s attack as well lest there are lingering problems,”

The Dongfang family master said idly.

“Alright!”

The Ximen family master nodded slightly. In a flash, his sleeves fluttered and his palm shone with a resplendent glow.

The weapon of the Ximen family master was a pair of iron gloves. They were made from the fallen stars in the skies and were indestructible!

It was a true connate Mighty Figure Dharmic weapon!

Bang!

The Ximen family master arrived at a stone statue puppet and raised his arm, smashing it on the head.

The stone statue puppet was sent flying and smashed heavily onto the ground. Cracks appeared densely on its head!

The divine light in the eyes of the stone statue puppet gradually dimmed as well.

Although the stone statue puppet could still struggle and stand up, it no longer had any combat strength.

The Dongfang family master had already crippled a stone statue puppet as well.

The stalemate was broken the moment the two of them joined the battlefield!

The 18 stone statue puppets revealed openings as well.

The remaining Conjoint Body Mighty Figures roared and released a powerful attack. Before long, a gigantic hole was torn open and they charged in!

Beiming Xue’s heart skipped a beat.

In the blink of an eye, five of the 18 stone statue puppets were crippled and the remaining 13 were filled with injuries; some of them could not even stand steadily.

Naturally, the entrance of the hall could not be defended and the remaining stone statue puppets retreated into the hall.

The two family masters led more than 30 Conjoint Body Mighty Figures to swarm in.

“Fufu,”

The Dongfang family master smiled gently and declared loudly, “Little girl, I’ve already said that it’s a fool’s dream for you to think that you can stop us with these lousy rocks!”

“Where’s Desolate Martial?!”

The Ximen family master asked coldly.

Beiming Xue was drenched in sweat against the might of a group of Conjoint Body Mighty Figures. She could barely withstand the pressure and wanted to kneel on the ground.

However, she had a stubborn and unyielding character and remained silent against the questions of a Conjoint Body Mighty Figure!

“Not telling?”

The Ximen family master’s expression turned cold as he said coldly, “If you don’t tell me, I have a way to make you tell me!”

Just as he was about to attack, the Conjoint Body Mighty Figure at the side suddenly exclaimed, “Ah, the Creation Green Lotus is gone!”

Everyone turned over.

Indeed, the Creation Green Lotus vanished from the golden pool as though it had never appeared.

‘How could that be?’

The cultivators were bewildered.

The two family masters frowned as well.

All of a sudden!

A possibility crossed their minds.

Broop! Broop!

Right then, a few bubbles appeared on the golden water surface. Under the gazes of the cultivators, a figure gradually floated to the surface!
