Chapter 306: Fierce Battle with Mo Yunhe [2]
A terrifying Aura, heavy as a mountain and sharp as a divine weapon, erupted with a boom!
The golden puppet, with its dark gold body, sleek lines, and dark golden light circulating endlessly at the core of its chest, stood before Fang Hao like the most loyal guardian.
Within its eyes, a crimson-gold light suddenly flared, firmly locking onto the descending Profound Yin Ghost Claw!
"A nascent soul puppet?!" Mo Yunhe’s pupils constricted sharply as he exclaimed in shock!
He never expected that Fang Hao was actually hiding a Puppet of the Nascent Soul Stage on his person!
Moreover, judging from the Aura emitted by the Puppet, its combat power had clearly reached the Middle Nascent Soul Stage level!
It was not the least bit weaker than him!
This sudden turn of events caused Mo Yunhe’s heart to sink abruptly.
He finally understood why Fang Hao was so fearless and dared to challenge him head-on.
So, this was his greatest reliance!
However, the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released.
The Profound Yin Ghost Claw had already descended!
"Break for me!" Fang Hao’s thoughts raced as he connected his mind with the golden puppet and shouted sternly at the same time.
The golden puppet moved!
It did not cast any flashy Spell; it simply and directly raised its right arm.
That fist, gleaming with dark gold luster and incomparably hard, carried the force of ten thousand jun and a sharp Fist Intent that could break through anything, fiercely meeting the descending Profound Yin Ghost Claw!
Fist and claw collided!
Boom—!!!
The earth-shattering roar was like two meteors colliding!
Violent energy shockwaves swept crazily in all directions like a tsunami!
Centered on the point of impact, the ground within a hundred zhang was like it had been turned over by a giant plow; it cracked inch by inch and collapsed!
Countless towering ancient trees were uprooted and shredded into pieces!
Even the clouds in the sky were shaken away!
The seemingly incomparably fierce Profound Yin Ghost Claw began to tremble and distort violently the moment it made contact with the golden puppet’s fist, which contained terrifying power!
The dense Profound Yin Qi condensed on the ghost claw rapidly disintegrated and melted away under the impact of the golden puppet’s extremely rigid, extremely yang, and incomparably sharp fist power!
After holding out for less than a breath, the entire Profound Yin Ghost Claw exploded with a boom, turning into ice-cold Profound Yin Qi that splashed in all directions!
The golden puppet’s body only swayed slightly before stabilizing, and the dark gold luster on its fist circulated without the slightest damage!
In contrast, Mo Yunhe let out a muffled groan, his face turning slightly pale; obviously, with the ghost claw broken, he had also suffered a slight backlash.
"What a strong Puppet!" Mo Yunhe’s face was livid, his eyes filled with shock and a hint of wariness.
The power and defense of this Puppet were simply ridiculously strong, far exceeding his expectations.
Having succeeded with one blow, how could Fang Hao let the Opportunity pass?
With a thought, the crimson-gold light in the golden puppet’s eyes flared, and its massive body turned into a dark golden afterimage, actively pouncing toward Mo Yunhe!
A pair of iron fists, carrying a shrill whistle that tore through the air, smashed toward Mo Yunhe like a rainstorm!
Each punch was powerful, enough to split mountains and crack rocks, and the speed was extremely fast, sealing off all of Mo Yunhe’s space for evasion.
Mo Yunhe was both shocked and angry.
As a Middle Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, when had he ever been forced to such a state by a Golden Core junior (Puppet)?
He shouted sternly and quickly formed seals with his hands.
A gray-white bone shield covered in mysterious runes instantly appeared before him, growing in the wind to block the golden puppet’s iron fists.
At the same time, he opened his mouth and spat out a flying needle as thin as ox hair, flickering with a faint blue cold light, which silently bypassed the golden puppet like a poisonous snake leaving its hole, shooting straight toward Fang Hao, who was controlling the Puppet from behind!
He was actually planning to capture the leader first and use a feint to attack the main target!
"I’ve been guarding against you!" Fang Hao sneered, as he had been keeping a Divided Soul on Mo Yunhe’s main body all along.
Facing the lightning-fast and incomparably vicious blue flying needle, he did not dodge or avoid it, but simply raised his left hand.
Within his palm, that cluster of Earthly Fiend Golden Flame, intertwined with dark gold and blazing white, instantly surged up and transformed into a flame shield a foot in radius, blocking in front of him.
Sss—!
The blue flying needle pierced into the flame shield, emitting a faint sound like cold water dripping into boiling oil.
The flying needle was obviously a vicious Magic Treasure, but facing the flame shield fused with the Earthly Fiend Golden Flame, the cold, poisonous Qi on it was quickly incinerated and purified.
The flying needle itself was also scorched by the scorching, sharp flames until its spiritual light dimmed; it trembled incessantly and could no longer advance an inch.
"Another type of strange fire?!" Mo Yunhe was truly horrified this time.
This kid before him not only had a powerful Physical Body and possessed a Middle Nascent Soul Stage Puppet, but he actually also mastered such a shockingly powerful strange fire!
This simply overturned his understanding!
How could a Golden Core Cultivator have so many trump cards and Opportunities?
Just at the moment his mind was shaken by Fang Hao’s Earthly Fiend Golden Flame, ahead, the golden puppet’s violent fist had already smashed fiercely onto his gray-white bone shield!
Boom! Crack!
The bone shield vibrated violently, the runes on its surface flashing wildly, emitting a groan of being overwhelmed, and a fine crack spread from the point of contact between the fist and shield!
Mo Yunhe’s expression changed again, and he hurriedly injected more spiritual power to stabilize the bone shield.
At the same time, his figure retreated rapidly, attempting to distance himself from the golden puppet to utilize the advantages of a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s Spells and Divine Abilities.
However, under Fang Hao’s control, the golden puppet followed like a shadow, in hot pursuit.
Its pair of iron fists, like a blacksmith’s hammer, crazily bombarded the bone shield; each strike made Mo Yunhe’s blood and Qi churn, and his spiritual power consumption intensified.
Fang Hao, meanwhile, roamed the perimeter, from time to time urging the Earthly Fiend Golden Flame to transform into fire arrows and fire nets, harassing and pinning down Mo Yunhe, making it difficult for him to focus on dealing with the golden puppet’s fierce attacks.
For a time, the clearing in the forest turned into a fierce battlefield.
The golden puppet led the attack with heavy and powerful force, forcing Mo Yunhe to face it head-on.
Fang Hao provided support, his strange fire tricky, pinning down and harassing him.
Mo Yunhe had all the cultivation of a Middle Nascent Soul Stage and many methods, yet he was beaten into a state of being tied hand and foot and in a sorry state by this strange combination.
His Profound Yin Cultivation Technique had limited effect on the golden puppet’s metallic body, and it was even more severely countered by Fang Hao’s Earthly Fiend Golden Flame.
Boom, boom, boom! Bang, bang, bang!
The sounds of metal clashing, energy explosions, and trees snapping were endless.
Violent energy turbulence completely destroyed this patch of forest, leaving the ground crisscrossed with gullies and in a mess.
The more Mo Yunhe fought, the more shocked and stifled he felt.
He was an Elder at the dignified Middle Nascent Soul Stage, yet he was forced to such a state by a Golden Core junior and his Puppet, unable to win after a long fight, and even faintly falling into a disadvantage!
If this were to spread, where would his face be?
"Junior, this is what you forced me to do!" A trace of madness and heartache flashed in Mo Yunhe’s eyes.
He finally ceased holding back, slapped his Storage bag, and swallowed a Medicinal Pill that was the size of a dragon’s eye, pitch-black all over, and covered with blood-colored patterns on the surface.
As the Medicinal Pill entered his abdomen, the Aura around Mo Yunhe’s body surged violently, and his originally somewhat chaotic spiritual power instantly became raging.
In his eyes, a layer of abnormal blood-red light was cast over them.
His entire Aura became nearly twice as powerful as before!
The bone shield also flared with great light, temporarily resisting the golden puppet’s offensive.
"An explosive essence pill?!" Fang Hao’s heart went cold as he recognized the Medicinal Pill.
This was a type of forbidden Medicinal Pill that could significantly increase a Cultivator’s spiritual power in a short time, even overdrafting their potential.
Its side effects were immense; after taking it, one would at best suffer severe damage to their Origin Qi, and at worst, their cultivation would regress.
It seemed that this Mo Yunhe was truly pushed into a corner and was ready to risk his life!
"To be able to force this old man to use this pill, you have enough to be proud of!" Mo Yunhe’s voice was hoarse, filled with ferocity, "Now, go to hell for me! Profound Yin Great Handprint!"
He formed seals with both hands, and the violent Profound Yin Qi gathered crazily, condensing before him into a gray-white giant hand that was ten zhang in radius, covering the sky and sun, with clear patterns, emitting a terrifying Aura that could freeze all things and suppress everything!
The giant hand slowly took shape, carrying the might of destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth, and slammed down fiercely toward the golden puppet and Fang Hao!
The power of this strike far exceeded all previous ones; it was clearly Mo Yunhe’s full-force strike after taking the explosive essence pill!
He wanted to smash the golden puppet along with Fang Hao into powder!
Facing this incomparably terrifying Profound Yin Great Handprint, the golden puppet, under Fang Hao’s control, did not retreat but advanced instead.
Its feet stomped fiercely into the ground, sinking deep, and on its dark golden body, all the Formation runes lit up to the extreme simultaneously.
At the core of its chest, that driving Formation fused with the "void crystal" erupted with unprecedented spatial fluctuations!
It was going to condense all its power into one punch to clash head-on with this sky-covering giant hand!
Fang Hao also knew that the moment of life and death had arrived.
A fierce look flashed in his eyes as he ceased holding back, crazily urging the Earthly Fiend Golden Flame within his Dantian, while simultaneously raising his own "Golden Qi Marrow Cleansing" Perfection Physical Body strength to the limit, preparing to join forces with the golden puppet to withstand this strike!
Whether living or dying, it all depended on this final struggle!
