"While Thor holds off his puppet, the four of us will go kill Lin Dong!"
Like a battle horn, the Winged Angel's declaration ignited the suppressed fighting spirits deep inside everyone's minds.
Nods of agreement came from them, their gazes shining with fierce resolve, before they vanished like spectral figures, surging directly at Lin Dong.
Witnessing this, Lin Dong stayed seated with legs crossed and eyes shut, a faint grin tugging at his lips while a deep glow flickered in his gaze.
Without rushing to enter the clash himself, he casually snapped his fingers, causing waves to ripple across the air. At once, two additional puppets materialized from nothingness, blocking the way of the incoming group solidly.
This pair included one burly figure with bulging muscles, radiating the sturdy presence typical of First Heaven Martial Artists. The second moved with swift grace, clearly marked by the Second Heavenly Realm's traits.
Though lacking the might of the puppet battling Thor, these under Lin Dong's command still posed a tough obstacle to their advance.
Beyond that, with a soft sweep of his right hand, it was as if he roused a timeless god from the emptiness, and the essences of Amaterasu and Susanoo gradually appeared, brimming with boundless dignity and might.
Each of these essences held the prowess of a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, heightening the already charged tension in the air.
"Let me see your strength," Lin Dong murmured inwardly, addressing them like longtime companions.
Guided by his will, the trio of puppets and duo of essences swiftly spread out, selecting their foes one by one, sparking a showdown between Heavenly Realm experts.
This sudden shift stunned the Winged Angel and his allies profoundly.
"Heavens, he actually has three puppets with Heavenly Realm strength, and two spirits with the same power! This is terrifying; if we fought him one-on-one, we wouldn’t even qualify for him to show up in person. Just using his puppets, he could wear us down!"
"Carrying five forces comparable to Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, it’s like a walking super force. Our Charm Clan, combined, has this many Heavenly Realm Martial Artists."
"Yet since he has revealed all these methods, it indicates that he himself cannot join the fight. Otherwise, why would he do this? Though these three puppets and two spirits are powerful, having the strength of Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, how can they be compared to the five of us?"
"Kill, we must kill him. While he’s severely injured, we must slaughter him. Otherwise, there will never be another opportunity."
"..."
They grasped fully that no matter what, the fight had begun, demanding their utmost commitment.
Today, they had to eliminate Lin Dong.
If not, even uniting all five later on, they couldn't hope to overcome him.
The Winged Angel brandished his Light Wings, becoming a streak of radiance that shot toward a puppet, as the remaining four unleashed godly techniques, engaging the essences of Amaterasu, Susanoo, and the extra puppet.
Across the field of combat, lights flashed brilliantly, energies roared wildly.
Devoid of life, the puppets displayed remarkable battle savvy and techniques via Lin Dong's guidance, at times grouping to surround adversaries, at others scattering to confuse them, compelling the Winged Angel and his group to focus entirely, unable to slacken even briefly.
Moreover, Amaterasu and Susanoo's essences wielded primeval divine powers to the fullest, every strike unleashing world-shaking force, demanding utmost wariness from their rivals.
Yet, just as Lin Dong foresaw, using only these puppets and essences to overcome the five elite Heavenly Realm fighters proved far from feasible.
After all, this quintet consisted of Triple-Heaven and Second Heavenly Realm Martial Artists.
A gap remained for the puppets and essences to bridge and equal them.
Lin Dong's aim, however, wasn't victory via the puppets and essences alone, knowing that outcome impossible.
Instead, he wanted the three puppets and two essences to sharpen through genuine battle, gaining insights and boosting their capabilities.
"Combat is the best grindstone," Lin Dong observed from the sidelines, scrutinizing each moment of the skirmish, mentally assessing their progress rate.
He had possessed the puppets for little time and required more practice in directing them.
Gradually, as moments passed, the battlefield's dynamics sharpened into focus.
The Winged Angel and companions retained their edge, but their assaults lost the initial ferocity. Evidently, the drawn-out struggle drained their endurance and resolve greatly.
Lin Dong's puppets and essences, though trailing, showed tighter teamwork and sharper strikes. It was clear that in mere moments, they had advanced considerably.
"That’s about enough," Lin Dong reflected silently, a trace of approval in his eyes.
He recognized the moment to conclude the puppets' test.
With that, he shifted, materializing at the heart of the chaos, a surge of immense power bursting from him to cover the whole area.
"Everyone, it’s over," Lin Dong declared steadily and resolutely, his tone laced with irrefutable command.
His statement landed, halting the fray immediately, all combatants freezing and directing their attention his way.
"I am very pleased with your performance," Lin Dong grinned toward the puppets, then gestured, drawing the puppets and essences back within him.
Upon reclaiming the puppets and essences, the once-quiet energies seemed to gather denser, cloaking him in a subtle but intensely potent presence.
His stare cut sharply as it passed over the five Heavenly Realm powerhouses.
In that instant, the Winged Angel's wings quivered faintly, astonishment and confusion passing through his gaze.
Pravina's emerald eyes brimmed with incredulity, her words still echoing with lingering astonishment.
Alya gripped her fists hard, betraying her strain and alertness, her blonde locks drifting softly on the wind.
Thor's face grew grave, his thunder-infused blade resting lightly on the earth, humming lowly.
Samantha lifted her palms subtly, encircled by fluid, watery magic.
"Lin Dong, weren’t you severely injured?" Pravina questioned once more, her voice laced with skeptical wonder, as if the sight shattered her prior beliefs entirely.
Even the Winged Angel had to voice it, his tone marked by doubt: "How come you look unscathed? Was our intelligence...wrong?"
Meeting their queries, Lin Dong offered a tranquil smile, one brimming with assurance and eagerness for the clash ahead.
He uttered deliberately, "Who said I was severely injured?"
"Winged Angel, and Pravina, last time you Four Great Town Angels came to kill me, two of you ran away, yet you dared to come back and seek me out?"
"Since you’ve chosen this path, I’ll grant your wish!"
With his declaration, Lin Dong's aura exploded upward, an unmatched force blanketing everything, making the surrounding air thicken.
Chilly gleam in his eyes, capable of slicing illusions, it locked onto the core terrors within their souls.
"Come all together now, I will take on all five of you!" Lin Dong's declaration rang out solidly and distinctly, each syllable pounding like a massive mallet on the spirits of the five Heavenly Realm elites.
