359: Rushing to die

The earth churned; it was the might of the Golden Haired Lion King Tribe's Shi Sucheng's Lion's Roar, still raging beneath the ground.

However, this roar, powerful enough to kill a Nascent Soul Realm Great Power and capable of almost flipping the earth, still failed to reveal even half of those strange Puppets.

It was as if the Lion's Roar was merely an insignificant breeze.

At the same moment, Jin Xingkong, who had revealed his true form as a Golden Armored Pangolin and burrowed underground, almost simultaneously burst out of the earth, but not of his own accord; he was forcibly struck out from beneath the ground.

"Jin Xingkong!" Shi Sucheng and the other Demon Clan Heavenly Pride's faces slightly sank as they couldn't help but speak up.

Jin Xingkong spat fiercely, "Damn it, these Puppets are strong!"

Just from a single punch exchanged with one of the Puppets, he was forcibly knocked out from underground, but it wasn't a big issue. If he hadn't been careless, he wouldn't have lost that punch.

"You can't even handle a dead Puppet, you're simply tarnishing the reputation of your Golden Armored Pangolin Clan," Dragon Qianjun of the Dragon Tribe said with a jab, "Step aside, I'll do it."

Jin Xingkong was displeased, "I was just momentarily careless; when have I ever failed to deal with these dead Puppets?"

If he couldn't defeat this Dragon Tribe guy, the next place his punch would land would be Dragon Qianjun's mouth.

"Jin Xingkong, you're useless!" Mang Yuzhe of the Azure Ox Clan laughed loudly, then looked at Dragon Qianjun of the Dragon Tribe, "Why should Brother Long personally act? Just leave it to this old ox."

Yuan Hongye of the Sword Armor Demon Ape Clan nearby said indifferently, "That clan brother of your Azure Ox Clan previously perished here. You brute, you still dare to act? Are you not afraid of following in your clan brother's footsteps?

"Get out of the way, I'll do it!"

Shi Sucheng of the Golden Haired Lion King Tribe interjected, "None of you can do it, I'll do it."

Fu Yan of the Earth Covering Mouse Clan laughed, "You golden-haired lion have been roaring for a long time earlier, yet you haven't shown any merit. You're likely useless. It's better to honestly stand aside and watch this Mouse Lord's might!"

They scrambled forward, eager to try, as if competing for merit, not putting these Puppets in their eyes at all.

The truth was indeed so; they were just some Puppets. Before small clans like the Heaven Day Race, Heaven Yin, and Spirit Clan, they could still act fiercely, but in the eyes of these true Heavenly Pride, Puppet Technique was just a minor path, not worthy of the grand stage.

If not for this, how could Puppet Technique be called a minor path?

After all, they were not living beings, lacking spirituality.

"Are you all trying to compete with me, Long?" Dragon Qianjun's voice turned cold.

The Demon Clan had been searching for these Puppets for a long time. If anyone could take down these Puppets now and follow the clues to find the rats behind them, it would be a great achievement.

And such a great achievement, Dragon Qianjun was determined to have.

"Brother Long..." Shi Sucheng of the Golden Haired Lion King Tribe still wanted to argue.

But before he could finish speaking, the earth rippled like water, and in the next moment, one after another towering Dao Soldiers, shimmering with a dark golden luster, appeared in unison.

At first glance, there were exactly three, no more, no less, identical to each other, each about ten feet tall, like lumps of metal, showing no human form.

"I originally wanted to keep you for a while longer, but I didn't expect you to rush forward to your deaths," Jin Xingkong of the Golden Armored Pangolin Clan said with anger in his eyes, ready to attack immediately.

Just now, when he had burrowed underground, it was one of these Puppets that had punched him, forcibly knocking him out from beneath the ground and causing him to lose face in front of Dragon Qianjun and the others.

"So there are only a mere three Puppets. I overestimated you dead things," Shi Sucheng of the Golden Haired Lion King Tribe snorted coldly.

With only three Puppets and six demons, there weren't even enough to go around.

This made him very dissatisfied.

He only hoped that after destroying these three Puppets, they could successfully find the existence behind them, otherwise, this trip would be a loss.

"Boom!"

The three Dao Soldiers were as silent as three iron towers, but their response was extremely fierce.

With a shake of their bodies, ten more Dao Soldiers each walked out from the three Dao Soldiers, and in an instant, the three Dao Soldiers turned into thirty-three Dao Soldiers.

At the same moment, eleven of the Dao Soldiers struck their hands together, and a "Clang!" "Clang!" sound of bells resounded.

Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers, Soul Suppressing Bell.

"Boom!"

Dragon Qianjun, Shi Sucheng, Jin Xingkong, and the other seven Demon Clan Heavenly Pride, who were still chattering and verbally sparring, wanting to claim this merit, suddenly felt the heavens and earth shake. That wasn't the real world moving, but their souls shaking, instantly encountering an unprecedented impact, almost shattering and collapsing!

"Soul attack?!" Dragon Qianjun was the first to wake up, his face pale, but he had Dragon Qi protecting his soul.

Even so, his soul was severely wounded.

"Damn it!" Dragon Qianjun was enraged and was about to attack immediately to completely shatter all these Puppets.

However, another eleven Dao Soldiers raised their hands and formed a curse seal.

Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers, Binding Spirit Rope, Divine Power, 'Forbidden God Curse'!

"Buzz!" Without a sound, a mysterious Divine Power transformed into one order-woven divine lock after another, binding all seven Demon Clan Heavenly Pride, including Dragon Qianjun, in place.

Even more terrifying was that these order-woven divine locks not only bound their bodies, but also appeared on their souls, locking their Nascent Souls.

Moreover, eleven Dao Soldiers used their Divine Power, while there were only six Demon Clan Heavenly Pride like Dragon Qianjun. Thus, Dragon Qianjun, Jin Xingkong, Shi Sucheng, and Mang Yuzhe, the four who had been competing the most fiercely, were bound by two divine locks!

"Divine Power?! Damn it, what the hell are these Puppets!" Jin Xingkong, who had just managed to recover from the soul attack, had barely woken up when he found himself bound by divine locks, and not just one, but two!

"This is bad, we're not their match, quickly ask Dragon Qingzhou to come and save us!" Mang Yuzhe instantly fell into panic and terror.

This was no longer a matter of competing for merit, but a matter of survival.

It was laughable how they had boasted earlier, competing with each other, yet when these Puppets truly attacked, they didn't even have a chance to fight back and had already become lambs to the slaughter!
