The Puppet King's attack was formidable, yet the participants were no pushovers.

Everyone simultaneously unleashed their cultivation, exploding with martial skills, and charged at the Puppet King. A thunderous boom echoed in the sky, engulfing the Puppet King's massive body in spiritual power.

The Puppet King's body swayed slightly in the ocean of spiritual power but quickly regained stability, showing no damage whatsoever, not even breaking a single willow branch wrapped around its torso.

Chu Nan frowned slightly, the defense of this Puppet King is truly terrifying.

Although the previous strike was merely probing, the Puppet King emerged unscathed, indicating that not even a regular Yang Wheel Realm Martial Artist could possess such a formidable physique.

"The Puppet King's body is so sturdy, what material is it made of?"

"Could this really be something a Spirit Pill Realm Martial Artist can contend with?"

The Puppet King's body was akin to a small mountain, each blow was heavy and unparalleled. Its four faces could lock onto everyone, and its eight arms could cover every corner of the arena with relentless attacks.

A terrifying aura surged forth, blades, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks struck with the intensity of a torrential storm, even ordinary slashes carried the power comparable to martial skills.

Chu Nan was not intimidated by the Puppet King. Though it was formidable, its power was only at the Spirit Pill Realm, not invincible.

In the next instant, Chu Nan's aura surged as he fully unleashed his cultivation. With the Cyan Mountain Radiant Sun Sword, he sliced out a sharp sword qi, which exploded with a roar, striking the Puppet King's sword-wielding arm!

Bang, crack!

As the roar subsided, a crack appeared on the Puppet King's arm.

"Well done!"

"As expected from the Sect Leader's disciple!"

The group was elated; although it was merely a crack, it symbolized that the Puppet King's body was not unbeatable, giving them immense encouragement.

Only Lu Chi's face was sullen, he thought in secret, "In just a few days, Chu Nan has grown to such a level. After defeating this Puppet King, he must die!"

Lu Chi concealed his killing intent, directing dark red flames at the puppet.

The various martial skills and sword qi whistled continuously, while Jia Yu lurked in the darkness, occasionally stabbing the Puppet King's joint areas with a dagger.

Even with eight arms, the Puppet King could not handle so many formidable opponents.

Chu Nan persisted in targeting the Puppet King's sword-wielding arm, unleashing Thunderous Dominating Fist along with various sword skills in an attempt to break the Puppet King's arm and seize the Spirit Martial Longsword!

Woosh!

Suddenly, a disturbing feeling arose in Chu Nan's heart, causing him to involuntarily look back, his pupils constricting.

Jiang Yixing somehow walked through the air using a martial skill, his blade poised, spiritual power rippled like waves, while he himself was like an endless stream.

"High-grade Yellow Rank Martial Skill, Flowing Torrent!"

Spiritual power transformed into a massive blade's shadow, which fell vertically like surging waves against the shore, encapsulating an indescribable feeling of resonating with the surrounding heavens and earth.

Rip and tear!

This attack shredded everything, like a heavenly strike severing the Puppet King's sword-wielding arm.

Boom, rumble!

The massive arm fell slowly, leaving everyone staring dumbly.

"As expected from the number one true disciple, severing the Puppet King's arm in just one strike!"

"Terrifying, truly terrifying!"

"I foresee the sect being renamed to Cyan Mountain Blade Sect in the future..."

Chu Nan also appeared serious, he praised, "This truly is the Unity of Heaven and Man in martial skills, the use of Martial Intent."

He had cultivated various martial skills to perfection and had long sensed the Unity of Heaven and Man realm; yet had not fully comprehended it.

However, from Jiang Yixing's recent strike, he clearly felt the resonance between Martial Intent and the world. The incorporation of martial skill into the world, using the Power of Heaven and Earth to unleash a supreme strike, was filled with infinite mysteries.

"Unity of Heaven and Man? I will master it one day!" Chu Nan resolved to charge at the Puppet King once more.

The Puppet King, having lost an arm, suffered greatly from diminished combat strength.

Jiang Yixing further seized the Spiritual Martial Long Blade from the severed arm, increasing his prowess even further!

Next, Jia Yu lurked in the shadows, wielding a dagger, sliced through the Puppet King's arm after numerous sneak attacks, taking the Spiritual Weapon Hooks.

Lu Chi leveraged Evil Fire and Ice Blade to launch over twenty attacks, severing the axe-wielding arm.

With other participants' cooperation, Zheng Yao seized the Puppet King's Spiritual Martial Long Spear.

The Puppet King had eight arms; four were consecutively severed, causing substantial reduction in combat power.

Yet the Puppet King's prowess remained astonishing, its sword qi was so razor-sharp, easily tearing the ground apart, breaching defenses.

As the battle progressed, seven fighters were dead or injured; only the top ten true disciples besides Chu Nan remained combat-ready.

An incense stick's worth of time later, the Puppet King lost yet another arm, dropping the Spiritual Martial Halberd-adorned arm, leading to a fierce scramble.

Jiang Yixing unleashed a stronger attack using his new spiritual weapon, forcing the Puppet King to retreat repeatedly, a pitch-black wound marking its torso.

The Puppet King let out a deafening roar of fury, its remaining three arms constantly flailing, while its body retreated in succession.

Seizing the opportunity, Chu Nan launched a thunderous strike again.

"Thunderous Dominating Fist!"

His fist transformed into towering thunder, striking the crack on the sword-wielding arm. In that moment, the thunder turned into a sharp blade, piercing through the Puppet King's defense.

With a crunch, the arm split open, teetering.

Seeing this, Chu Nan's eyes brightened, he slashed out with the Cyan Mountain Radiant Sun Sword for the final blow!

Boom!

The sword-wielding arm broke and collapsed, Chu Nan rapidly caught up using the Roaming Dragon Shocking Wind Step.

"It's mine!" Chu Nan's eyes gleamed with joy, just as he was about to reach for the longsword, his pupils contracted as he swiftly retreated.

As he backed away, a flash of cold light emerged from behind the severed arm.

"Who is it?" Chu Nan demanded, staring intently at the severed arm's location.

He had watched the Puppet King's longsword for a long time, having finally severed the sword-wielding arm, yet someone sought to take this chance to kill him.

"Heh heh heh~ Unexpectedly, you sensed my intent to kill you in advance. Seems my cultivation still needs improvement." Jia Yu slowly stepped out from behind the severed arm, his eyes filled with viciousness.

He had long noticed Chu Nan eyeing the Puppet King's longsword, so he observed Chu Nan's movements while attacking the Puppet King.

Stealthily approaching as the sword-wielding arm was about to break, ready to strike Chu Nan when he was most defenseless, yet unexpectedly, Chu Nan detected him.

Chu Nan felt lingering fear, Jia Yu's concealment methods were exceedingly skilled. Currently, Chu Nan struggled to discern them, were it not for Kui Guang's warning, he might not have evaded this danger.

Jia Yu, failing in his attack, chose to abandon it. He snatched the Spiritual Martial Longsword that Chu Nan coveted, sneering, "I'll let you live a little longer; next time, I'll claim your head!"

Clutching the longsword, Jia Yu continued to attack the Puppet King, while Chu Nan tightly clenched his fist, silently fuming.

"Dare to steal from me; someday, I will take it back!"

Chu Nan, knowing when to hold and when to let go, after failing to seize the Spiritual Martial Longsword, reengaged in the battle.

Though most were grievously wounded, making further combat difficult, the Puppet King's power had been significantly diminished, the battle was nearing its final stage.

Ultimately, with Jiang Yixing's Martial Intent-imbued strike, the Puppet King finally exhausted itself, its eyes gradually dimmed, its torso fell amid the roaring chaos.

Then a golden light erupted from the Puppet King's body, all ensnaring willow branches dissipated, and dozens of treasures spewed forth like a spring!
