Free Web NovelChapter 683: Chapter 255: Battle of the Golden Core
As Wushi Puppet spoke, he flicked his fingers, sending out several Flowing Light Chains, blocking the path of escape for the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace.
When these Flowing Light Chains flew out, they quickly intertwined in the void ahead, forming a sturdy net!
Boom!
Without warning, the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace crashed hard into the net formed by the Flowing Light Iron Chains.
The collision of the two erupted with energy, causing the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace to fly back hundreds of feet, right into the grasp of the approaching Wushi Puppet!
Just as Wushi Puppet was about to examine the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace closely, a Sword Aura suddenly shot toward him from afar, aiming straight for his face!
Wushi Puppet frowned slightly, opened his mouth, and spat out a Golden Seal!
The Golden Seal expanded rapidly in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a square yard in front of him.
Bang!
The cyan Sword Aura crashed into the Golden Seal, erupting in a terrifying explosion.
The Sword Aura dissipated, and Shen Wen’an’s figure appeared in the void not far away, holding the Dragon-Slaying Sword, quietly watching Wushi Puppet.
Wushi Puppet, holding the struggling Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace in one hand and the restored Golden Seal in the other, calmly said, meeting Shen Wen’an’s gaze, "Fellow Sword Immortal of the Shen Family, I haven’t set foot in your Shen Family’s territory, have I?"
His urgency to refine the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace made him reluctant to fight Shen Wen’an.
Shen Wen’an had never seen the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace and did not know it was actually Shen Chongxu’s Magical Treasure.
At this moment, he was merely curious why the Sovereign of Fushan Country had suddenly come to Yangnao Land.
During the standoff, Wushi Qianrou, trapped inside the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace tightly held by Wushi Puppet, suddenly shouted.
"Senior, save me!"
"My master is Shen Chongxu of the Shen Family!"
These words caused Wushi Puppet’s expression to change instantly!
When Shen Wen’an heard this, his eyes narrowed instantly as well.
No wonder he had felt a familiar aura emanating from the strange furnace in Wushi Puppet’s hand earlier.
Now, upon hearing Wushi Qianrou’s words, Shen Wen’an immediately realized.
This furnace indeed shared a similar aura with Shen Chongxu.
"Fellow Daoist, this is the Magical Treasure of a junior from my Shen Family, please allow me to take it back."
Upon hearing this, Wushi Puppet displayed a cold smile on his face.
Holding the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace, he could already sense the extraordinary nature of this Demon Artifact. Now that he had it, why would he easily relinquish it?
Furthermore, even if it truly belonged to the Shen Family, that junior named Shen Chongxu likely killed his favorite great-granddaughter, so regardless, he had no intention of returning it.
Seeing that Wushi Puppet remained silent and showed no intention of handing over the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace.
Shen Wen’an slowly raised the Dragon-Slaying Sword in his hand, and behind him emanated ripples of cyan.
The Sword Intent of the "Clear Lakes Containing Cyan Lotus" instantly enveloped a hundred miles of void, with cyan Sword Lotus blooming in the void, surrounding Wushi Puppet’s body.
Meanwhile, Wushi Puppet was also unwilling to show weakness, his Spiritual Power surged, tearing through the "Clear Lakes Containing Cyan Lotus" Sword Intent with a terrifying aura, revealing a Mountain and River shadow behind him.
The two forces fiercely collided in the void, becoming difficult to distinguish the victor for a time.
Seeing this, a Sword Aura flashed in Shen Wen’an’s eyes.
Immediately, the "Clear Lakes Containing Cyan Lotus" Sword Intent in the void, which was clashing with Wushi Puppet’s Mountain and River shadow, suddenly underwent a subtle change.
The once tranquil lake surface nurturing the Sword Lotus suddenly stirred with ripples!
These ripples, as they spread, gradually expanded, then turned into wave upon wave of water tides!
When these tides pushed forward and reached the Mountain and River shadow, they towered a hundred feet high!
Bam!
A wave of tides crashed down, momentarily dazing the Mountain and River shadow, which had previously matched the "Clear Lakes Containing Cyan Lotus" Sword Intent.
Immediately following, a stronger tide surged forth, slamming hard onto the Mountain and River shadow!
Wushi Puppet opposite showed a slight change in expression, suppressing his surging blood and energy in shock:
"Two Realms!?"
"You..."
Boom!
Before he could finish speaking, two more massive tidal waves crashed down, simultaneously causing the Sword Lotus in the void to burst into bloom!
In an instant, terrifying Sword Intent and Sword Aura twisted fiercely in the surrounding void, directly causing Wushi Puppet’s Mountain and River Realm to flicker continuously!
Ultimately, it was brutally suppressed by the terrifying power of Shen Wen’an’s overlapping Realms, barely maintaining itself within a few yards around him.
Wushi Puppet, his face like gold paper, forcibly mobilized the Spiritual Power within him and sacrificed the Golden Seal in his hand.
The Golden Seal, enduring the power of the Tide Realm and "Clear Lakes Containing Cyan Lotus" Sword Intent, slowly floated to the top of Wushi Puppet’s head, then burst into brilliant golden light!
In the golden light emanating from the Seal, glimpses of cities could be seen appearing.
These cities gradually merged into the Mountain and River shadow surrounding Wushi Puppet, not only resisting the power of Shen Wen’an’s two Realms but even slowly reclaiming some territory.
"This Seal is the National Seal of my Fushan Country. Summoning this Seal means that behind me stands countless Common People and Cultivators of Fushan Country."
"No matter how strong your skills are, you are ultimately only a Golden Core; what could you do to me?"
Seeing the situation again at a stalemate, Wushi Puppet, seemingly feeling confident again, actually began to mock openly.
Upon hearing this, Shen Wen’an smiled.
"Is that so?"
"You have already used Magical Artifacts, while I have only used Realms."
"If it’s a competition of Magical Artifacts, allow me to show you something."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Wen’an joined his index and middle fingers of his left hand, slowly pointing to his forehead.
The next moment, his forehead suddenly burst into a milky white aura!
Accompanying the movement of the Sword Point, a three-inch small sword, seemingly carved from white jade, gradually appeared from his forehead.
After the Three-inch White Jade Sword fully emerged, it circled around Shen Wen’an’s body half a turn before suddenly shooting toward Wushi Puppet!
Seeing this, Wushi Puppet immediately formed formulas with both hands, one hand controlling several Flowing Light Chains to collide with the White Jade Sword while the other hand pointed to the Golden Seal above his head, drawing a substantial ray of Golden Light to brush against the White Jade Sword.
Upon seeing this, a hint of a smile appeared on Shen Wen’an’s face.
This White Jade Sword was his Sword Bone Magical Sword; how could it be blocked by ordinary Magical Artifacts?
As expected, when the Flowing Light Chains Wushi Puppet had summoned collided with the Sword Bone Magical Sword, the anticipated explosion did not occur.
The Sword Bone Magical Sword flickered, directly piercing through the Chain Magical Artifact, heading straight for Wushi Puppet’s head!
At this moment, Wushi Puppet finally panicked!
Swipe!
Swipe!
He immediately channeled his Spiritual Power, drawing several beams of Golden Light from the Golden Seal above his head, attempting to block the Sword Bone Magical Sword.
Indeed, this Golden Light had some effect, but it was negligible and failed to stop the advance of the Sword Bone Magical Sword!
Boom!
After repeatedly breaking through layers of Golden Light defenses, as the Sword Bone Magical Sword was about to pierce through Wushi Puppet’s skull, the Golden Seal above his head flickered and directly blocked before the Sword Bone Magical Sword.
Evidently, this National Seal, representing the power of the entire Fushan Country, managed to stop the lethal strike of the Sword Bone Magical Sword.
However, having lost the blessing of the National Seal, Wushi Puppet’s Mountain and River Realm couldn’t withstand the power of Shen Wen’an’s two Realms at all.
His body was directly sent flying by a Tide Realm, and the Magical Robe on his body was flickering under the strike of Cyan Lotus Sword Intent.
"How could his strength be so terrifying after merely a decade since breaking through to the Golden Core?"
Wushi Puppet, sent flying away, thought secretly, with a flicker of hesitation in his eyes.
Evidently, he was pondering whether to give up the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace in his hand.
