787. Chapter 785: What's So Fearful About Puppets?

As he moved, everyone noticed a powerful and mysterious aura emanating from his body.

"This is the Five Elements Escape Technique!" someone suddenly shouted, "Lu Yuan is truly extraordinary!"

Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan had already been watching from the sidelines, their hearts filled with confidence and expectation for Lu Yuan.

Seeing Lu Yuan display such great strength, they couldn't help feeling proud of him.

"The world is truly amazing."

Zi Xi'er whispered to Su Liyan, "We're actually traveling alongside such a powerful person."

Su Liyan smiled and nodded: "Yes, Lu Yuan is indeed an remarkable person."

At the same time, on the battlefield, Lu Yuan brandished the Thunder Fire Sword, turning it into a bolt of lightning that stabbed toward his opponent.

He nimbly dodged the various attacks of the opponent's powerful puppet, then executed his own immortal techniques move by move.

"Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation!"

Lu Yuan chanted the incantation in a low voice, and radiant light burst from his whole body.

In an instant, several sword qi shot out from his side, quickly forming a huge sword formation.

Each sword was filled with destructive power, extremely sharp.

At this moment, Zi Cui Ling and Elder Cang Yun saw Lu Yuan's overwhelming sword formation and were also amazed.

"This kid really has some skills."

Elder Cang Yun nodded slightly, his heart also more convinced of Lu Yuan.

The disciples of Lei Huo Dan Ge and the Puppet Sect were all shocked to see this scene.

They never expected Lu Yuan could unleash the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword to such a terrifying extent.

The situation instantly reversed; before Lu Yuan and his Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, the Puppet Sect's disciples kept retreating.

"Impossible! How could we be suppressed by an outer sect disciple?"

The Puppet Sect disciple in charge of the team shouted in disbelief.

However, Lu Yuan gave them no chance to catch their breath.

He quickly approached that disciple, and the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand turned into a bolt of lightning that instantly pierced the opponent's body.

"It's over."

Lu Yuan said coldly.

With the battle's end, the disciples of Lei Huo Dan Ge cheered joyfully.

They patted each other's shoulders, marveling at the victory of Lu Yuan and the Puppet Sect's life-and-death battle.

Immediately after the previous victory, Lu Yuan once again faced a new challenger from the Puppet Sect—a late-stage Transformation God cultivator remodeled into a half-human, half-machine being.

"Such a battle, hanging by a thread and full of danger..."

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, staring at Ji Han, "Challenge accepted."

Su Liyan gripped her Ice Crystal Long Whip tightly, determination flashing in her eyes: "Let's go together!"

Zi Xi'er nodded silently, gathering a purple light that wrapped around her.

The three of them went forward together to meet Ji Han's attack.

Su Liyan employed the Ice System Immortal Technique, condensing icy power onto the whip, and struck at Ji Han's body.

At the same time, Feng Bu Yun also exerted his inner strength to support the two companions.

"Looks like you're not that weak."

Ji Han did not retreat, dodging the attacks and retaliating with equal speed.

The battle became extraordinarily fierce.

Lu Yuan nimbly dodged Ji Han's attacks and retaliated without showing weakness.

Su Liyan then used her agile body technique and Ice Crystal Long Whip to entangle desperately with Ji Han.

And Feng Bu Yun, relying on his deep inner strength, provided help at the critical moment.

Time passed second by second, and neither side would retreat.

Although Feng Bu Yun once fell into a bitter struggle, the assistance of Lu Yuan and Su Liyan gave him a chance to find a breakthrough.

"Su Liyan, the moment has come!"

Lu Yuan couldn't help but shout.

Su Liyan immediately understood Lu Yuan's intention, using the Ice Crystal Long Whip to create a huge ice pillar that blocked Ji Han's retreat.

Ji Han was trapped inside the ice pillar, unable to escape.

Feng Bu Yun saw this and immediately seized the opportunity, gathering his full strength for a strike.

He condensed his inner strength into sword qi, aiming to completely shatter Ji Han's defenses.

"You..."

Ji Han hoarsely uttered that word with his mouth shape, then said no more.

Finally, after enduring an arduous battle, the three joined forces and successfully defeated the late-stage Transformation God cultivator—Ji Han.

The disciples of Lei Huo Dan Ge cheered joyfully, and looked upon Lu Yuan, Su Liyan, and Feng Bu Yun with pride.

This victory not only restored the reputation of Lei Huo Dan Ge, but also proved the sect's strength to all sects.

After the Puppet Sect's disciples were defeated by Lu Yuan, Lei Huo Dan Ge's interior saw a disagreement over how to handle the defeated.

Some advocated harsh torture to show Lei Huo Dan Ge's majesty, while others proposed releasing the enemy's disciples, following the path of mercy.

Lu Yuan stood silently before the crowd, his eyes revealing determination and confidence.

He knew what to do.

"We are not fighting for revenge."

Lu Yuan's voice was stern, "We fight to protect justice and safety."

"I will not choose slaughter or revenge, but they must pay for their actions."

Lei Huo Dan Ge was filled with a tense atmosphere.

They could feel the determination and confidence emanating from Lu Yuan, and at this critical moment they believed even more that Lu Yuan could make the correct decision.

Everyone focused intently, waiting for Lu Yuan to issue the final verdict.

Su Liyan lightly gripped the Ice Crystal Long Whip in her hand, she knew Lu Yuan would make a wise and reasonable choice.

As a cultivator who embodies both justice and kindness, Lu Yuan has long walked his path resolutely.

She felt deep reverence for Lu Yuan.

Zi Xi'er stood quietly beside Lu Yuan, she fully trusted Lu Yuan's decision.

Although they are a fake couple, Zi Xi'er deeply knows Lu Yuan's inner kindness and justice.

"From now on, the enemy disciples will become research subjects of Lei Huo Dan Ge."

Lu Yuan slowly spoke, "They master profound puppet techniques; this is an opportunity for us to learn and understand their secrets."

"I hope we can better guard against future crises through studying them."

For a moment, Lei Huo Dan Ge was utterly silent.

Everyone looked at Lu Yuan in surprise; no one expected him to make such a magnanimous decision.

"'Lu Brother truly is a wise ruler!' Someone inside Lei Huo Dan Ge shouted excitedly."

"'We believe in you!' Another cultivator also clapped."

Seeing everyone's reaction, Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

He didn't feel he had done anything great, merely acting according to his principles.

Facing the enemy disciples who refused punishment and begged for death, Lu Yuan felt no pity.

He regarded them with a calm and indifferent attitude.

"'Life is more important than anything.'"

Lu Yuan said firmly, "You will be imprisoned inside Lei Huo Dan Ge until we have obtained sufficient research results."

The enemy disciples lowered their heads helplessly, knowing they could not escape this fate. (End of chapter)
