Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1818: 465: Puppet Dao’s Peerless Prodigy! Peach Blossom Fate! (part 3)

Lu Changsheng entered the Formless Domain alongside his son, Lu Ping’an, while the Great Luo Sword Embryo materialized within his grasp.

"A Wu."

The fourteen Supreme Spirit Stones he had recently acquired were finally brought out. He passed them to A Wu, instructing the spirit to utilize the Taiyin Mysterious Light to disrupt their adversary when the time came.

Even when facing such a legendary heavenly hero, Lu Changsheng remained profoundly vigilant, committing his full strength to the encounter.

He then activated the Reversal Yin Yang Glazed Glass Wall to its maximum capacity, lying in wait for the perfect moment to strike.

Through careful observation earlier, Lu Changsheng had realized a critical detail: once the puppet battle formation was established, the controller himself would become the primary vulnerability.

Outside the cavern, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng resembled a savage demon king. It radiated an overwhelming ferocity, drowning the puppet master in a relentless wave of destructive power.

The qi mechanisms of the thirteen puppets began to weave together, manifesting complex and ancient formation patterns. This created a puppet formation map that successfully ensnared the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.

The man’s puppet battle formation was undeniably formidable, possessing enough power to trade blows directly with a Nascent Soul True Lord for several rounds.

While the thirteen puppets were occupied with suppressing the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, Lu Changsheng used the Reversal Yin Yang Glazed Glass Wall to slip out of the cave noticed. Suddenly, the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone surged with violent power as he swung the Great Luo Sword Embryo.

"Clang!"

A majestic and peerless sword light tore through the sky, erupting with a brilliance that was sharp enough to slice through the heavens.

"Not good!"

As the man focused on hunting the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, internal alarms blared in his mind. He frantically triggered his magical robe, his protective body barrier, and the puppet formation map.

However, the moment Lu Changsheng’s blade descended, the Yin Yang Chart and the Brahman Demon True Body materialized simultaneously to deliver a joint assault.

The Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror tucked in his robes consumed a Supreme Spirit Stone, releasing a burst of frigid, mysterious white light.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

Under the weight of that grand sword light, the man’s protective barrier and magical robe shattered like fragile porcelain.

When the combined force of the Brahman Demon True Body and the Yin Yang Chart struck, they obliterated everything in their path. A thin line of blood appeared on the man’s forehead, extending all the way down to his legs.

Blood sprayed into the air.

The man’s body was cleaved in two, his expression frozen in a look of pure resentment even as he died.

"???"

Lu Changsheng’s face showed a mixture of confusion and disbelief.

What just happened?

Wasn’t this individual supposed to be a supreme heavenly hero capable of commanding thirteen puppets while simultaneously wielding magical treasures? How could he fall to a single strike?

While the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone at maximum output was indeed capable of slaying a Core Formation Peak cultivator instantly, he hadn't expected it to be this easy.

Shouldn't a genius of this caliber possess an array of hidden trump cards?

A short distance away, the Third Rank Top Level puppet watched the scene unfold, its dark, hollow eyes seemingly flickering with two internal flames.

It was inconceivable that another attacker had been hiding in ambush to launch such a strike.

The puppet had failed to detect any presence earlier.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

Nine of the thirteen puppets suddenly broke away from the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to flee. Meanwhile, the remaining four began to hum like awakened engines of war, initiating a self-destruction sequence.

"Hmm?"

Lu Changsheng froze in shock.

Damn, the master is dead, yet these puppets can still operate independently?

These machines were truly bizarre!

Lu Changsheng was reminded of his own Thousand Faces Puppet Fox.

Even though that fox possessed a form of consciousness, it still lacked this level of autonomy.

With no time to ponder, Lu Changsheng quickly secured the two halves of the man’s corpse. The Yin Yang Chart expanded across the sky, radiating endless divine light as he used the Yin Yang Qi Grasp to contain the four exploding puppets.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

Despite his quick reaction, the force of the self-destruction caused Lu Changsheng’s internal qi and blood to churn violently.

"You think you can escape?"

With a frigid expression, Lu Changsheng mounted the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng. In a heartbeat, they crossed dozens of miles to intercept the nine fleeing puppets.

The puppets tried to use the same tactic again, sending five of their number forward to self-destruct.

But Lu Changsheng would not be caught off guard twice.

The Taiyin Mysterious Light he had saved for the puppet master suddenly erupted from his chest.

While this light might not pose a fatal threat to a Nascent Soul Cultivator, it was more than enough to handle a few Third Rank puppets.

The five puppets were instantly encased in frost, their movements becoming sluggish before their light faded and they were crushed by the Yin Yang Qi Grasp.

Seeing this, three more puppets moved to block him from different angles, attempting to buy time for the Third Rank Peak puppet that Lu Changsheng had been watching closely.

"There is definitely something wrong with that puppet!"

Lu Changsheng had focused on this specific Third Rank Peak puppet, thinking it might be the man’s lifebound treasure, but now he was certain it was something more.

The Brahman Demon True Body let out a roar, growing several feet in height. Its six arms lunged forward to seize the three puppets, physically preventing them from detonating.

Simultaneously, a snowy-white dan pill transformed into the Three Treasures Incarnation. It took control of the Yin Yang Chart and shot toward the lone Third Rank Top Level puppet that was trying to escape.

As impressive as they were, these puppets lost much of their threat without their battle formation.

The three puppets held by the Brahman Demon True Body were quickly subdued by Lu Changsheng’s techniques.

The isolated Third Rank Top Level puppet was no match for the Three Treasures Incarnation and was soon entangled, unable to break free.

Lu Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng arrived in an instant. The Great Luo Sword Embryo flashed with peerless light, leaving minor scars on the puppet’s frame.

At that moment, the Peach Blossom Gu residing in Lu Changsheng’s Sea of Consciousness sent a faint mental ripple.

It suggested there was an opportunity to forge a Peach Blossom Fate with the puppet in front of him, urging him not to let the chance slip away.

"???"

Lu Changsheng was utterly floored.

What is this thing thinking?

The Peach Blossom Gu was becoming increasingly voracious; it would react whenever he encountered a beautiful woman, signaling his charm could establish a connection.

But this was a puppet!

Could this be like the Thousand Faces Puppet Fox, perhaps a female puppet crafted from the master's wife?

Lu Changsheng brushed aside the Gu's strange prompt and used the Yin Yang Qi Grasp carefully, wanting to avoid damaging the puppet further.

These were his hard-won spoils, after all.

If they were too badly damaged, his current skills in puppetry wouldn't be enough to fix them.

However, remembering the Gu’s reaction, he decided to use a Divine Consciousness Secret Technique from the Six Desires Heart Demon Technique on the machine.

Normally, puppets—much like his Three Treasures Incarnation—lack a soul and are immune to mental attacks.

Yet, as the technique landed, Lu Changsheng felt a distinct ripple of soul consciousness coming from the puppet.

This soul wave, however, felt different from that of a normal human.

"It actually possesses a soul?"

Shocked, Lu Changsheng applied a Sealing Divine Light and bound the puppet with an unrefined rope treasure, intending to study it later.

"Master!"

Suddenly, the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror in his arms began to vibrate with a frantic warning.

It detected three powerful presences, masked by concealment, rapidly approaching their location.

One of the magical signatures felt disturbingly similar to Ming Sha True Monarch.

"Ming Sha True Monarch!?"

Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat. He immediately shoved the captured puppet into his Qiankun Shadow-Confining Belt and ordered the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to burn its life essence to make a swift escape.

The presence of three such powerful auras meant Ming Sha True Monarch had brought backup.

In his current condition, he was in no position to fight them.
