Chapter 963: Chapter 957: Power of the Golden Dragon

“Maybe it’s not that easy.”

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes; he sensed a trace of danger emanating from the shadow guardian.

Swish!

At that very moment, the shadow puppet moved, as if it had teleported to a position dozens of meters to his left, and then fiercely slashed the adjacent space with a knife.

The space was originally empty, but when the long knife fell, a figure appeared, just catching the brunt of the blade, and was subsequently struck away.

“What?”

The figure struck was Kun Wanyu, his face full of disbelief. It was evident that he could not fathom how, with his speed, he was still hit by this puppet.

This creature was capable of discerning his movements.

Boom!

In the next second, the shadow guardian moved again, swinging its knife robustly, cutting another figure out.

With a cry of anguish, the elder who acted alongside Kun Wanyu was also forcibly struck out by the shadow guardian.

“Even Kun Wanyu couldn’t break through?”

Ao Wuxu was startled. He was aware of Kun Wanyu’s strength, moreover, the latter was a prominent figure of the Kunpeng clan, possessing a natural advantage in speed.

If even Kun Wanyu couldn’t manage to get through, then the hope for others would be even slimmer.

“This puppet seems capable of accurately locating life force and responding immediately.”

Ye Xuan had just probed the shadow guardian with soul power. Though the opponent lacked consciousness, it could react swiftly, detecting Kun Wanyu’s presence.

Regarding the puppet’s internal structure, Ye Xuan found himself quite intrigued. He wondered what kind of achievements one must have in puppet crafting to create one of this caliber.

“Wouldn’t that make it invincible?”

Ling Qianxue was momentarily stunned, expressing concern.

“Humph, no matter how powerful, it’s just a puppet. Just like before, with so many of us combined, I refuse to believe it cannot be taken down.”

Numerous figures rose into the air, speaking sternly.

Present here were well-known personalities from the Western World. With such a gathering of strong individuals, even a Martial Emperor might avoid confrontation.

“Indeed, with the combined strength of all of us, we can surely deal with this thing!”

The spirited shout drew supportive voices, leading to hundreds of figures stepping forward. Then, expansive True Yuan surged, and hundreds of brilliant threads of True Yuan roared out, accompanied by dragon and tiger roars, phoenix cries, creating a stunning momentum, dashing like lightning toward the shadow with furious force.

However, faced with such an astonishing offensive, the shadow remained utterly still, not even adopting any defensive measure, simply standing quietly, allowing the fierce attacks to land upon its body.

Boom!

The frantic shockwave swept open before the ancient gate. Witnessing this, joy appeared in the eyes of the crowd, only to suddenly freeze because when the shockwave dispersed, the shadow stood quietly, unharmed!

“This creature?”

Everyone was dumbfounded. Such a terrifying offense might instantly obliterate Sealing Emperor Strong People, yet the puppet guardian before them seemed unaffected?

“Intriguing, none of you interfere, I’ll handle this creature!”

As everyone felt a chill within their hearts, a loud shout suddenly echoed, and a figure directly darted out alone, intending to single-handedly battle the puppet guardian.

“This Ao Wuxu is truly reckless.”

Ling Qianxue couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows.

“If he weren’t reckless, he wouldn’t be Ao Wuxu. He is most fond of fighting; let him give it a shot.” Ao Kun interjected.

“That’s true; it’s rare to encounter such an opponent.”

If it weren’t for the perilous nature of this journey, Ye Xuan would also wish to confront the puppet, but alas, the circumstances were not fitting. Ao Wuxu has the backing of the Dragon Clan, thus no one dares to challenge him. However, it’s different for Ye Xuan, as he has many waiting to plot against him.

In the sky, Ao Wuxu walked steadily forward. As he stepped forward, vibrant energy began to spread from beneath his feet, coloring the heavens and earth into a colorful display.

Brilliant lights quickly amassed, transforming within moments into a light dragon, dozens of feet long. Its vibrant hues emitted an indescribable wave of peculiar energy that trembled the hearts of many strong individuals.

Roar!

With a loud shout, dragon scales swiftly appeared on Ao Wuxu’s body, illustriously solid, gleaming with dark golden lustrous, embodying a sense of perfect strength.

“Though rash, his strength really speaks for itself.”

Watching Ao Wuxu, who had completed his dragon transformation, even Ao Kun couldn’t help but nod in approval. Though he was much older than Ao Wuxu, strength-wise, he wouldn’t dare to compare himself with Ao Wuxu.

“Enjoy the fight.”

Perhaps forgetting his original intention for coming here, Ao Wuxu’s aura burst forth. In the next moment, his figure darted out as a rainbow beam, with his low shout filled with astonishing battle intent.

Swish!

His form appeared momentarily before the door, then his right hand fiercely punched toward the shadow, tearing through the space in a flash.

Crackling…

On Ao Wuxu’s right fist, dragon scales briskly stood erect, as if sprouting sharp thorns, unstoppable.

Yet against such ferocious offensive, the puppet guardian remained completely still, only waiting for the punch to nearly land did it suddenly retreat a step, tightly gripping a black long knife, and then slashing out.

Buzz!

With one slash, the sky seemed to fall into darkness, as everyone could only see two figures intersect, and then the originally extreme chaotic energy froze.

Sizzle!

The shadow stopped, sheath its knife, and as the long knife entered its scabbard, Ao Wuxu trembled momentarily, with spines on the fist edge being severed, and a wound appeared on his hand, immediately leaking blood, dripping onto the ground.

“With Ao Wuxu’s robust Golden Dragon physique, he couldn’t withstand the puppet’s knife aura?”

Behind them, everyone gasped in unison; this one slash, if landed upon them, could instantaneously split them in half.

“Such a terrifying slash.”

Even Huang Qinger and others’ faces twitched slightly, their eyes similarly filled with astonishment.

To injure Ao Wuxu with one slash, such ability… none of them could achieve that, implying that perhaps only a high-level Sealing Emperor Strong People could exert such prowess.

Could it be that this mysterious shadow before them possesses strength comparable to high-level Sealing Emperor Strong People?
