Subduing the Puppets (Part One)

Under the watchful eyes filled with greed, wariness, and scrutiny, a Grey-robed Old Man slowly stepped forward.

His aura was deep and steady, the vast Dou Qi of a One-Star Dou Venerate swirling around him almost tangibly, forming an invisible force field.

Facing ten Silver Puppets radiating the fluctuations of Peak Dou Ancestors, there was little solemnity on his face. Instead, he wore a trace of arrogance and disdain as he walked straight into the encirclement of the ten Earth Demon Puppets. His leisurely manner truly made him seem like a master emboldened by his skill.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The instant the Grey-robed Old Man stepped within thirty meters of the Stone Door, the joints of the ten Earth Demon Puppets, which had stood motionless like statues for ten thousand years, almost simultaneously emitted a low, teeth-grinding sound of bones scraping together!

Then, ten pairs of cold, hollow silver eyes, devoid of the slightest emotion, instantly locked onto the Grey-robed Old Man!

"Buzz!"

Silver light surged! The ten Earth Demon Puppets clenched their hands at the same time, and dazzling silver energy rapidly condensed within their grips. In the blink of an eye, it formed ten gleaming silver spears, their tips flowing with deadly sharpness!

"Whoosh!"

Without any warning, ten Silver Figures shot out like lightning released from bowstrings!

Their movements were perfectly synchronized. The spears in their hands tore through the air, raising ten incomparably fierce gusts of wind as they viciously and precisely attacked the vital points all over the Grey-robed Old Man's body from different angles!

"Haha, they're merely a few broken scraps of metal. You think you can stop this old man? Break!"

At the sight, the Grey-robed Old Man let out a contemptuous laugh. Rather than dodge, he charged barehanded straight into the puppets' encirclement.
