187: Fight alone! A strange vision appears!

Boom!

The fist wind collided with the Puppet's iron arm, and the exploding Qi wave lifted the floor several meters high.

Lin Fan's figure retreated, his feet plowing two half-foot deep furrows in the ground before he could barely dissipate the brutal force.

"Damn it, this ghost thing is really troublesome!"

Lin Fan spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, feeling as if his entire right arm had lost all sensation.

His Ancient Desolate Body, which he was so proud of, could not gain the slightest advantage against this Martial Venerable Puppet, which knew no fatigue or pain.

Zhang Dabao's situation was even more miserable.

That boy was laden with treasures, like a mobile armory, and while crying heartbrokenly, he threw out the treasures he had acquired from various tombs over the years as if they were worthless.

"Take this Thunder Stone!"

"Nine Yuan Shuttle!"

"Martial Venerable Underwear!"

...

"No! I threw the wrong one! Big Brother, I didn't mean to!"

For a moment, he made the entire tomb chamber colorful, like fireworks during the New Year, lively and bustling.

But it was useless.

"Why don't you move, you bastard!"

Zhang Dabao was sweating profusely with anxiety, and another golden net was flung out.

That golden net was about to trap the Puppet.

However, the Puppet just casually tore it.

"Rip!"

That 'Dragon Binding Net', which was said to be able to trap a Martial Emperor, was actually torn into pieces.

"Oh, for my lungs!" Zhang Dabao let out a desperate wail, slumping to the ground, completely out of temper.

Most of the treasures he had dug out from the ancestral graves of various Schools were used up.

The remaining ones were just some insignificant trinkets.

"Lin Boy, what should we do?!" He looked at Lin Fan with a mournful face, "This time, I'm really going to lose everything!"

Lin Fan did not answer.

His eyes, however, were burning with intense Battle Intent!

The stronger the opponent, the more it could ignite the indomitable fighting spirit within him!

"Immortal King descends upon Nine Heavens!"

Lin Fan let out a low cry, no longer holding back.

Behind him, a brilliant phenomenon, woven from endless magic power and Dao runes, appeared!

Within that phenomenon, an supreme Immortal King, wearing an Emperor's crown and Immortal armor, as if walking from ancient times, slowly opened his eyes.

That domineering aura of ruling the world and being unrivaled, just a hint of it leaked out, caused the entire tomb chamber to shake violently.

"Fight!"

Lin Fan and the Immortal King's phantom seemed to merge at this moment.

He took a step forward, his figure once again rushing towards the Martial Venerable Puppet.

This time, he was not alone!

The Immortal King's phantom seemed to come alive, also raising its giant palm, capable of covering the sky and sun, and together with Lin Fan's fist, one above and one below, pressed down towards the Puppet.

Rumble—!

This blow made the Martial Venerable Puppet stumble back three steps.

A momentary, human-like confusion flashed in its eyes?

It seemed to not understand why this ant, which didn't even have Internal Energy, could unleash such terrifying power.

"There's a chance!"

Seeing this, Zhang Dabao instantly recovered, scrambling up from the ground, the flame of hope rekindled in his eyes!

"Lin Boy, push harder! Kill this iron lump! I'll split the treasure with you later!"

For the next half an hour, the entire tomb chamber completely transformed into an arena of power.

Lin Fan and the Martial Venerable Puppet engaged in a close-quarters battle!

Fist against fist!

Foot against foot!

Every collision erupted in deafening roars!

The Immortal King's phantom, moreover, was like Lin Fan's second body, cooperating flawlessly, beating the Puppet back step by step.

One hundred rounds!

Two hundred rounds!

Three hundred rounds!

Lin Fan was already bathed in his own golden blood, but the Battle Intent in his eyes was uncontrollably high!

He could feel that his Ancient Desolate Body was rapidly growing stronger under such high-intensity combat.

In contrast, the Martial Venerable Puppet.

Its movements began to slow down.

The killing intent on its body also began to gradually dissipate.

The red light in its eyes flickered, as if it could extinguish at any moment.

"Something's wrong!"

Zhang Dabao, who had been watching from the side, was the first to notice the clue, "This iron lump, it seems... is running out of energy?"

His words reminded Lin Fan.

That's right!

This Puppet, after all, was a dead object.

Its energy was limited.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan's offensive became even more fierce!

"Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, Six Paths as One!"

He gathered all the magic power in his body to unleash it, and the Immortal King's phantom behind him also shone brightly.

A punch blasted out!

This punch seemed to trigger the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

"Bang!"

The Martial Venerable Puppet could no longer sustain itself, its massive body, as if struck head-on by a giant siege hammer, had a terrifying fist print deeply indented in its chest!

It staggered back a few steps, and finally, with a "crack," knelt on one knee.

The red light in its eyes completely extinguished.

The terrifying aura that had made both of them tremble vanished in that instant.

It really ran out of energy.

"Hahahahaha! It's finished!"

Seeing this, Zhang Dabao let out an extremely excited roar, his round body now like a rabbit, and was about to rush forward to claim this priceless Martial Venerable Puppet.

However, someone was faster than him.

A white figure flashed past!

Lin Fan, after unleashing that punch, had already forcibly suppressed the surging Qi and blood within him, and with a burst of magic power under his feet, he arrived first, directly carrying the motionless Puppet on his shoulder.

Then, his figure swayed, and he was already dozens of feet away, looking at Zhang Dabao warily.

"Lin Boy! You... what do you mean?!"

Zhang Dabao was instantly dumbfounded, and then, furious!

He pointed at Lin Fan, trembling with anger, "This Puppet was clearly discovered by me first! And I used so many treasures! You... you actually want to take it all for yourself?!"

"Daoist Priest, look at what you're saying."

Lin Fan's face showed an extremely innocent expression, his acting skills were simply superb.

"What Puppet? I didn't see it."

As he spoke, he even hid the huge Puppet, which was two heads taller than him, behind himself, looking as comical as could be.

Then he remembered he still had a storage ring and directly put it into the storage ring.

"You... are you saying I'm blind, you bastard?!"

Zhang Dabao's lungs were about to explode with anger.

He finally understood what it meant to "meet the wrong person" now.

This boy, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, he didn't expect him to be so dark-hearted!

"Daoist Priest, you must have seen wrong." Lin Fan began his act, with a sincere look, "I was fighting that iron lump just now, it was a fierce battle, I ran out of magic power, and I'm dizzy right now, how could I have the strength to carry any Puppet?"

Saying that, he even cooperated by staggering twice, as if he would faint at any moment.

Zhang Dabao: "..."

He pointed at Lin Fan, saying "you" for a long time, and finally, it turned into a roar of grief and indignation.

"Oh, for my lungs!"

"You're ruthless! I'll remember this debt!"

He knew that when it came to being shameless with this boy, he couldn't even catch up.

He could only admit defeat.

The two returned to the third tomb chamber, bickering all the way.

Lin Fan then took out the Martial Venerable Puppet, removed the pendant, and chuckled, "Daoist Priest, you see, I was just afraid you couldn't carry it alone, so I helped you share the burden."

Zhang Dabao rolled his eyes, too lazy to bother with him anymore.

He walked to the wall with the groove carved into it and carefully pressed the pendant, obtained from the Puppet, into it.

"Click—!" The sound of the mechanism turning sounded.

The stone door, which had been sealed for countless years, slowly opened.

The two exchanged glances.

"You go first!"

"You go first!"

It was a tacit understanding.
