Puppet!

Danilo and the other two looked at Johnson's headless corpse on the ground, and a chill rose up their backs.

At that moment, their eyes were filled with terror as they looked at Xiao Yang.

They had never expected that this youth, who looked only sixteen or seventeen, could instantly kill a two-star Great Dou Master with a single strike!

And so effortlessly at that!

The three men who had originally been rushing toward Xiao Yang all froze in place, cold sweat beginning to form on their foreheads.

Just then, Xiao Yang's gaze turned toward them.

As if they had agreed beforehand, all three turned and ran.

However, their speed was nowhere near Xiao Yang's.

A pair of purple-black wings suddenly appeared behind Xiao Yang.

The next moment, he vanished from where he stood and appeared in front of the three men trying to flee.

Seeing the wings on Xiao Yang's back, all three men's legs went weak.

"You... you're that Dou King expert?!"

"How... how is that possible? How could someone your age become a Dou King?!"

"Spare me, spare my life! I can give you all my money!"

Danilo and Chen Jian were both on the verge of collapse. Miga even dropped to his knees, took off his Storage Ring, and threw it to Xiao Yang.

Yet Xiao Yang's face remained completely cold.

With a thought, he instantly appeared behind Danilo.

Once again, just as before, he threw a punch.

However, Danilo reacted much faster than Johnson had.

Mainly because he had been prepared.

He spun around and kicked at Xiao Yang, trying to resist.

Boom—

Crack!

The Battle Qi Armor covering Danilo's right leg instantly shattered.

Xiao Yang's fist, wreathed in dark crimson flames, slammed into Danilo's leg, twisting it grotesquely in an instant.

As the hidden force burst forth along with the flames, Danilo's twisted right leg exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Splurt!

Aah—

Danilo clutched the mangled limb that was now little more than a short stump of thigh, letting out a miserable scream on the ground.

Chen Jian, whose legs had already gone weak, finally could not hold himself up after seeing this.

The color of his pants gradually darkened. Like Miga, he fell to his knees before Xiao Yang, removed his Storage Ring, and threw it over.

Not only that, he kept kowtowing to Xiao Yang until his forehead was bloody. Even white bone could faintly be seen.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"My lord, I'll give you all my wealth too! Please spare my life!"

Xiao Yang said nothing. He merely walked over to Danilo, who lay on the ground wailing, and threw another punch.

After suffering such severe injuries, Danilo could no longer maintain the Battle Qi Armor over his body.

Under Xiao Yang's punch, he fell completely silent.

Chen Jian and Miga became even more terrified at the sight.

The two kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, not even daring to look at Xiao Yang.

But how could Xiao Yang possibly let them go?

If he had not been strong enough, he would already be dead.

These two did not realize they had been wrong. They merely realized they were about to die.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yang instantly appeared before them and killed both with a punch each!

Boom!

Boom!

With the deaths of the last two men, the underground space finally fell completely silent.

Four system notifications also sounded in Xiao Yang's mind.

Seeing that his rewards had arrived, he crouched beside the four men and picked up their Storage Rings.

All four Storage Rings were Low-Tier Storage Rings. Now that their owners were dead, Xiao Yang's soul power easily entered them.

It could only be said that the four men were rather poor.

Everything in their Storage Rings combined was worth less than five hundred thousand gold coins.

Xiao Yang shook his head and casually put everything away.

As for the four Storage Rings, he threaded them onto a string.

After finishing this, Xiao Yang slowly headed toward the cave from earlier.

As for the four corpses, he had no intention of dealing with them.

Even burning them in a place like this would be a waste of oxygen.

After entering the cave, Xiao Yang immediately began using his soul power to search for the mechanism.

Yet he searched for more than ten minutes without finding anything.

Just as Xiao Yang was feeling puzzled, he suddenly discovered an extremely inconspicuous mechanism near the entrance of the cave!

"So it's here!"

He walked over and looked, sure enough finding a very faint mark.

He had not expected the mechanism to be at the entrance.

He gently pressed the mark, and a stone was instantly pushed inward.

Rumble...

The rock wall at the end of the cave began to rumble loudly. It retreated slightly, then slowly sank down, revealing a passage lit by a faint glow.

Xiao Yang could clearly see many Moonlight Pearls at the end of the passage.

But by the faint light emitted by those Moonlight Pearls, he also saw a puppet standing at the end of the passage!

As the rock wall lowered, the puppet that had originally been leaning against the wall immediately turned to look at Xiao Yang.

This puppet could actually move!

Xiao Yang's gaze became wary as well.

The moment the puppet saw Xiao Yang, it attacked him without hesitation.

Xiao Yang did not dare to casually collide head-on with it, since he still did not know how strong it was.

Just as the puppet reached him, he swiftly moved aside.

Boom!

The puppet's fist slammed into the rock wall beside the cave, instantly blasting a huge hole into it.

Yet there was not even a scratch on the puppet's metal fist.

Xiao Yang's soul power wrapped around the puppet, allowing him to roughly determine its strength.

This puppet was roughly equivalent to a Seven-Star Great Dou Master.

But its body was far beyond what a Great Dou Master could destroy.

Xiao Yang's soul power clearly detected a Fourth-Tier Magic Core inside the puppet!

However, after the passage of countless years, only a small portion of the Fourth-Tier Magic Core's energy remained.

That was why the puppet could not display its full strength at all.

Xiao Yang had no intention of confronting it head-on.

The Magic Core inside the puppet had little energy left to begin with. Xiao Yang only needed to wait for it to run out.

Otherwise, with Xiao Yang's current strength, he would not be able to harm this puppet either.

Xiao Yang began constantly darting around the underground space, avoiding the puppet's attacks.

The underground space repeatedly rang with thunderous impacts.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Every time an impact rang out, a huge hole appeared in one of the rock walls of the underground space.

Five minutes passed like this before the puppet's movements gradually began to slow.

Not long after, the puppet fell directly to the ground.

Looking at the puppet on the ground, Xiao Yang added one point of experience to his cultivation to restore his battle qi before walking over to the fallen puppet.

He focused his attention on the puppet, and its information immediately appeared before his eyes.
