Chapter 1062: Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends

Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends

That puppet was tall in stature, its shoulder width double that of its body. Its entire body emitted the hard luster of rock, like a mountain being manipulated by someone, forcefully climbing out from the ground. On its shoulder, the two words "Mountain Bearer" were scribbled with black brushstrokes.

The massive puppet crashed down from midair. The terrifying power almost caused half its body to sink into the earth. Amidst flying dust, Huai Meng's figure lightly slid backwards for nearly a hundred meters before staggering to land on the ground.

"Cough cough cough cough cough..."

Even if it was just the aftermath, it shook Huai Meng's figure until he felt incomparably uncomfortable. Just as he was coughing in a low voice, seemingly realizing something, he leaped to one side with all his might!

Bang bang bang——!!

Almost simultaneously, more than ten sharp rock spikes erupted from underground, directly piercing through Huai Meng's original position!

Reactions aside, even if Huai Meng knew all the abilities of the "Mountain Bearer" puppet, under absolute suppression of strength, it was still difficult for him to extricate himself. The midair Huai Meng only felt a strong wind pressure sweeping over. That rock had actually already raised its right hand, obscuring the sky above him like a dark cloud, crashing down heavily!

"Dealing with a Judgment Proxy alone? Huai Meng, are you crazy?!"

Tu Tian's voice was like thunder. The next moment, a burning General's Banner, like a flaming meteor, was thrown out by him with all his strength, raging flames soaring into the sky.

Immediately after, a slender figure stepped on fierce winds, spinning above the raging flames.

Pu Xiachan frowned looking at the giant shadow slowly raising its fist. Obscure and mysterious language spat out from the tip of her tongue... A hurricane swept from the nothingness, amplifying the already surging flames several times over. They wrapped around Tu Tian's banner, like a spear of fire piercing through the sky.

Boom——!!

The banner collided with the giant's arm, emitting a deafening loud bang. Visible shockwaves swept across the sky.

Huai Meng, who was closest to the explosion point, only felt his vision suddenly brighten. Following that, flying petals suddenly drifted in the nothingness. A palm suddenly rested on his shoulder, grabbing his body and violently shifting backwards...

In the blink of an eye, he had already shifted hundreds of meters away.

"You are truly bold." The Assassin Cui Ran spoke helplessly. "Even if he was once your brother, that is still Rank 8... Right now, he won't hold back against you."

Huai Meng smiled bitterly. "Why are you guys here?"

"This guy is heading straight for the public, we definitely couldn't ignore it."

Li Shengmen slowly floated over from behind, his eyes staring straight at the drifting residual fire in the distance, his expression somewhat grave. "However... this thing is truly a bit tricky."

The full-strength combined strike of Tu Tian and Pu Xiachan failed to completely stop the "Mountain Bearer" puppet's attack, only barely blasting off half of the other party's fist. The rolling smoke and dust dispersed in the air, and the tall body remained as steady as a boulder.

"That's my brother's [Mountain Bearer] among the 'Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends', its strength is very strong, and its elemental resistance is extremely high..." Huai Meng shook his head. "Relying on our current selves wanting to defeat it is very difficult."

"Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends?"

Pu Xiachan was startled. She glanced at the other boxes floating behind Tian Huai, wearing an expression as if she had seen a ghost. "You mean, puppets as strong as this rock monster... your brother still has seventy-one more???"

"... Yes."

The faces of the Celestial Star Positions crowd instantly turned ashen.

"No need to bother with those puppets." A voice suddenly sounded from behind. "Pin down Tian Huai's original body as much as possible, create an opportunity for me."

The few people were slightly startled, simultaneously turning their heads to look, only to see a familiar Great Crimson Theatrical Robe standing in the shadows of the ruins since who knows when, quietly staring at Tian Huai among the numerous boxes like a ghost.

Seeing Chen Ling, everyone was violently startled!

"It's you??"

Although Chen Ling didn't cause them little trouble when they were in the Tianshu Domain, if it wasn't for Chen Ling, they would have long been killed by Kongwang... In a certain sense, Chen Ling was their savior.

Tu Tian's face was the ugliest, but he knew now was not the time to settle scores with Chen Ling, speaking in a deep voice:

"Are you confident in dealing with the Judgment Proxy?"

"Yes." Chen Ling nodded slightly. "But I need an opportunity... An opportunity to come into contact with his original body."

Thud——!!

The palm of the Mountain Bearer puppet merged into the earth. Ferocious cracks, like an underground abyss devouring everything, rapidly spread towards Tu Tian and the others.

Tu Tian and the others had no other choice at this time. They could only glance at each other and nod heavily:

"Since that's the case, we will trust you once... Scatter!"

The few people scattered in different directions without the slightest hesitation. While dodging the Mountain Bearer puppet, they detoured to approach the direction of Tian Huai's original body.

Only one person was an exception.

"Chen Ling..." Huai Meng stood in place, hesitating to speak. "Are you going to kill my brother?"

"Of course not, I don't have that ability yet." Chen Ling shook his head. "I want to make him fall into confusion and recover his memory."

Huai Meng's eyes lit up.

He took a deep breath, seeming to have made some kind of resolution, lowering his voice by Chen Ling's ear and saying: "Since that's the case, I'll tell you a secret of my brother's, you absolutely must not tell anyone..."

Listening to Huai Meng's words, Chen Ling's brows raised slightly.

...

Swoosh——swoosh...

Along with [Grasp of Evolution] covering the entire city, another two "lucky" Dusk Society members were bound, temporarily hoisted near the battlefield like prey on a spider web. However, at this time, Tian Huai simply didn't have time to deal with them, his attention entirely on these reckless young people in front of him.

"Troublesome..." Tian Huai didn't want to waste time. He lightly raised his fingertips again, and another two boxes of nothingness were uncovered.

As the lids opened, two palm-sized puppets expanded wildly in the wind, turning into two giant puppets of the same scale as "Mountain Bearer" within half a second. One was engraved with fire patterns on its body, and the other carried a purple long saber on its back, possessing a slender build.

[Fire-Seated], [Demon Slayer].

The addition of two puppets made things worse for Tu Tian and the others, whose situation was already difficult. They originally could still deal with [Mountain Bearer] while trying to find an opportunity to approach Tian Huai, but at this time, their way out was completely sealed...

Two puppets, flames that seemingly could melt everything, and a saber intent that cuts through everything, rapidly spread in the air!

"It seems, it's our turn to take the stage..."

Sun Bumian cracked his neck and wrists. Behind the Round Sunglasses, a pair of pupils nested with rings was watching [Fire-Seated]. Following his calm words, wisps of colorful flames ignited from his temples.

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the silent Jiang Xiaohua, his eyes narrowing slightly,

"I'll leave the one carrying the saber to you?"

Jiang Xiaohua spoke muffledly, "... But I can't hold out for too long."

"Stop pretending, just now in the Tribunal, you broke free much easier than me... Although I don't know exactly what secrets you have, but now is not the time to hide your strength."

"... En."
