70: The Mysterious Realm is back to me

What is Lu Chen's Puppet's strength?

It's only at the Penetrating Aperture Realm. How could it possibly be stronger in physique than the Baxia Bloodline, which is said to be invincible in the same realm?

Furthermore, a Puppet is a Puppet after all. Although he doesn't know what profound method Lu Chen used to give his Puppet the Earthly Fiend Dragon Slaying Art, Lei Jinshan believes that even if his Earthly Fiend Dragon Slaying Art is cultivated poorly, it shouldn't be inferior to a lifeless Puppet!

What's more, Lei Jinshan, who possesses the Baxia Bloodline, has considerable attainment in the Earthly Fiend Dragon Slaying Art.

"Yuanzhou Mountain Gate's Lei Jinshan requests guidance from Yezhou Main Sect's Junior Brother Lu." Lei Jinshan strode forward, stepping on the Void in a few steps and ascending the platform.

His physique was burly and imposing, his long hair loose and disheveled, like a majestic male lion, exuding a wildness that was quite oppressive.

Lu Chen thought to himself: Still calling me Junior Brother? This Junior Brother Lei, your courage is commendable!

I just like your unruly appearance.

Lu Chen smiled: "Come."

Lei Jinshan slowly twisted his neck in a circle, then flexed his wrists: "I'm a person who likes to fight hard and head-on. I don't like those fancy things. Just right, your Puppets are very much to my liking. Moreover, I, your Senior apprentice-brother, also have some understanding of the Earthly Fiend Dragon Slaying Art."

As his voice fell, Lei Jinshan suddenly stepped forward, like a Traveling Envoy mountain, and threw a punch with a roar.

With one punch, it was like a star on the ground moving, monstrous fiendish power rolling out. That punch fell, as if it had truly transformed into a colossal star in the depths of the Universe, and one that presided over killing, a malevolent star.

"It really is Earthly Fiend Dragon Slaying, somewhat interesting." Lu Chen waved his hand, and the five Silver Armor Dao Soldiers in front of him erupted simultaneously.

From stillness to motion, still like a rooted rock, moving like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting.

Their figures, like small giants, were a meter taller than the equally burly and tall Lei Jinshan.

"Boom!"

The five Silver Armor Dao Soldiers controlled and were empowered by monstrous Fire Element, also had Water Element entwining them, Earth Element covering their bodies, and they also used Earthly Fiend Dragon Slaying.

It can be said that at this moment, the five Silver Armor Dao Soldiers were even more terrifying than before their battle with Lin Xiao.

Because during the battle with Lin Xiao, the five Silver Armor Dao Soldiers only controlled the Fire Element. Although they had the explosiveness of Fire Element, they lacked the thick, powerful strength of Earth Element, and even more so, the softness of Water Element to overcome all things.

At this moment, the Silver Armor Dao Soldiers were the true Silver Armor Dao Soldiers, their strength fully unleashed.

"Boom!" The most intense collision erupted, just as Lei Jinshan said, he liked to fight hard and head-on, fist to flesh.

But he miscalculated one point: Silver Armor Dao Soldiers are neither living nor dead, they are not living beings at all. His Physical Body with the Baxia Bloodline can be called invincible in the same realm, but Dao Soldiers are not included in this category.

Every punch Lei Jinshan threw would directly clash head-on with a Dao Soldier. The first punch collided with a Silver Armor Dao Soldier, and a fierce expression appeared on Lei Jinshan's rough face.

The second punch collided with a Silver Armor Dao Soldier, and Lei Jinshan's face even showed a hint of distortion.

With the third punch, blood appeared on Lei Jinshan's fist.

"Pain!" A piercing pain came from his fist, reaching deep into Lei Jinshan's heart.

"How could this be?"

"How could these Puppets be so hard?!" They were simply like indestructible gold essence, unbreakable by human strength. Despite the strength of his Physical Body, he was beaten by these Dao Soldiers in a head-on fight until his hand bones were almost shattered.

Moreover, his Earthly Fiend Dragon Slaying Art had no advantage whatsoever in front of these Puppets.

Although these Puppets were not empowered by spiritual energy, controlling and being empowered by the three great forces of heaven and earth—Water Element, Fire Element, and Earth Element—was even more terrifying than magical power, because human strength is sometimes limited, but the power of heaven and earth is infinite.

What made Lei Jinshan even more passive was that he also comprehended Earth Element, but in front of the Silver Armor Dao Soldiers, the second layer of Earth Element True Intent he had comprehended was simply a joke. The Earth Element in heaven and earth was completely beyond his control, and even attacked him in return.

"Boom!" The remaining two Silver Armor Dao Soldiers attacked simultaneously with the same Earthly Fiend Dragon Slaying Art. Lei Jinshan was struck with fear and no longer dared to fight them head-on.

However, unfortunately, Lei Jinshan's path was one of fighting hard and head-on. At this moment, he encountered something harder than him, and immediately fell into a predicament. Taking it head-on wouldn't work, and not taking it wouldn't work either.

"Don't force me!" Lei Jinshan let out a low growl like a wild beast from his throat, and then his entire body erupted with blood qi, like a brilliant sun exploding.

The phantom of a giant turtle appeared, carrying a divine monument on its back. That was the appearance of the Divine Beast Ba Xia, one of the Dragon's Nine Sons, a legendary existence.

Lei Jinshan, carrying the Baxia Bloodline, naturally possessed the power of Ba Xia.

At this moment, Lei Jinshan seemed to have transformed into a descendant of Ba Xia. His body suddenly grew taller, and layers of ancient, mysterious turtle shell seemed to appear on his fists, and then he fiercely struck out with the Earthly Fiend Dragon Slaying Art.

"Boom!" Two Silver Armor Dao Soldiers collided simultaneously with Lei Jinshan covered in turtle shell, erupting with rolling fiendish power.

Then the fiendish power boiled, engulfing the platform. Lei Jinshan, who had activated his Baxia Bloodline, saw his strength greatly increase. He battled with the five Silver Armor Dao Soldiers, striking blow after blow, constantly attacking. His speed was astonishing, leaving only layers of afterimages, making it impossible to see clearly.

They fought from the south of the platform to the north, and from the north to the east, forcing Lu Chen to change his position lightly several times.

This battle lasted for a very, very long time, almost half an hour.

Until a certain moment, the Ba Xia phantom behind Lei Jinshan suddenly dimmed, and the ancient, mysterious turtle shell on his body disappeared. Only then was he sent flying backward by the five Dao Soldiers, falling off the platform.

"Cough, cough... Awesome!" Lei Jinshan struggled to get up from mid-air, swaying as he rode the wind upwards, finally stopping in front of the platform. Weakly, he cupped his fists towards Lu Chen: "Yezhou Main Sect's Lu Chen, I, Lei, acknowledge you as my Senior apprentice-brother!"

His Baxia Bloodline had not yet fully unleashed its potential. In the battle just now, his Baxia Bloodline was already exhausted, he was completely spent and unable to fight anymore.

On the Yezhou Main Sect's side, the Disciples of Doujian Peak watched with little interest, but their expressions still carried smiles: "It seems that Yuan Province's Baxia Bloodline and Qing Province's "Swallowing Yuan Spiritual Vein" aren't very good! They couldn't even force out Junior Brother Lu's dark gold Puppet, they are lacking!"

"This might make things a bit difficult for Junior Brother Lin and Junior Brother Lei. Junior Brother Lu's dark gold Puppet, just one of them, can defeat Fan Sheng, who is at the late Mysterious Method Realm. Although these two Junior Brothers are strong, they are ultimately inferior to the Mysterious Method Realm."

"Forget about Junior Brother Lu's dark gold Puppet, just talking about the dark silver Puppets, Junior Brother Lu has thirty-three of them, and he only deployed five just now! How can Qing Province's Lin Xiao and Yuan Province's Lei Jinshan fight?"

Compared to the Yezhou Main Sect's side, who were generally aware of Lu Chen's strength and were relaxed and joking, the Disciples of Yuan Province and Qing Province's two great mountain gates became increasingly silent.

"Incredible, incredible! The Yezhou Main Sect has produced an incredible Genius this time!"

"Judging from the present, Yezhou Main Sect's Lu Chen is already enough to completely suppress Lin Xiao and Lei Jinshan. Just with those five Puppets, he is already invincible within the Penetrating Aperture Realm!"

Some Disciples sighed with admiration.

"Since both the Spirit Transformation Realm and Penetrating Aperture Realm are suppressed by this Lu Chen, then let's decide the outcome with the Mysterious Method Realm. The Yezhou Main Sect side surely can't produce another Lu Chen at the Mysterious Method Realm, right?"

"Indeed."

"Since that's the case, I, your Senior apprentice-brother, will ascend the platform and meet with the Yezhou Main Sect's Mysterious Method!" A middle-aged man with dark, glowing skin, dressed in dark, sturdy attire, ascended into the sky and went straight to the platform.

"Qing Province's Ke Jianqing, dares to request a battle with Yezhou Main Sect's Mysterious Method Senior apprentice-brother." The middle-aged man in dark, sturdy attire issued the challenge.

Lu Chen, who had been overlooked, smiled apologetically: "Senior apprentice-brother Ke, you might not know, but actually, the Mysterious Method Realm is also for me to handle!"
