Su Chen's clothes were torn by the puppet, leaving a large piece missing.

Looking down, he noticed a gash on his shoulder, oozing black blood.

Su Chen had long known about the puppet's terrifying biting power...

...and its deadly poison.

He had encountered it before while trying to save the Netherworld Empress.

Luckily, his body possessed a remarkable resistance to the poison.

Su Chen had been searching for a while but still hadn't found Liu Jie's husband.

Frustrated by another attack from the puppet, Su Chen felt a surge of irritation.

At that moment, the puppet pounced at him again.

Su Chen frowned, thinking: Do I look like HelloKitty to you when I don't show my strength?

Dodging the puppet's leap to the side, he lashed out with a fierce kick to the back of its head.

Boom!

The puppet slammed into the wall like a cannonball, creating a large dent.

Its head was embedded in the wall.

However, Su Chen's kick felt like hitting an iron ball.

This puppet was seriously tough.

During this brief respite, Su Chen quickly resumed his search.

"Found it!"

Finally, Su Chen spotted a half-exposed hand sticking out from a pile of corpses.

The hand had a birthmark.

It was Liu Jie's husband's.

Using Sky Crossing, Su Chen stepped onto the pile of bodies and reached for the hand, attempting to pull Liu Jie's husband out from the corpses.

But what he pulled out was not Liu Jie's husband's body...

...but half an arm!

Damn it!

Su Chen couldn't help but curse.

At that moment, he felt a cold breeze.

Clearly, the puppet had freed itself and launched another attack at him.

Boom!

Su Chen kicked the puppet away again.

Bang bang bang!

The puppet was like an undying cockroach that kept coming back at him, no matter how hard he kicked it away.

Seconds later, it would fly at Su Chen again.

"I refuse to believe I can't kill you!"

A fierce resolve flashed through Su Chen's heart.

This puppet had slaughtered so many people.

Keeping it alive was only an invitation for disaster.

It might be best to take this chance to kill it for good.

Thinking this, a golden glow suddenly erupted from Su Chen's foot...

...accompanied by a dragon-like roar, then he ferociously kicked the puppet's head.

Boom!

With that kick, empowered by martial skill, the puppet's entire body was embedded into the wall.

Finally, after more than a minute...

...the puppet struggled free, black blood oozing from its gaping mouth.

Clearly, Su Chen's kick had finally injured it.

The puppet looked at Su Chen with a gaze filled with deep venom.

Suddenly, it started biting wildly at the corpses on the ground, no longer selective about the strongest parts.

Obviously, the puppet was replenishing its strength.

Su Chen was about to intervene when he noticed a body revealed among the dead.

It was...

Liu Jie's husband.

At that moment, Liu Jie's husband was missing both his legs and feet.

Yet he was still alive.

But even if he wasn't dead, he wasn't far from it.

His eyes were moving slightly, looking at Su Chen.

He seemed to have something he wanted to say to Su Chen.

However, the puppet seemed to notice Su Chen's concerned gaze toward the body...

...and let out a shrill laugh.

Then it charged towards Liu Jie's husband's body.

"You dare!" Su Chen roared in fury.

Even though Liu Jie's husband looked close to death.

But Su Chen was confident he could save his life.

Even if he couldn't save his life, he could at least let him finish speaking.

Seeing that the Puppet was about to bite off Liu Jie's husband's head.

"Burn!" Su Chen let out a low growl.

His body ignited as though wrapped in a layer of flames.

This was a secret technique he had learned.

This secret technique was divided into three levels.

First Level, Burning.

Second Level, Explosion.

Third Level, Destruction.

With each level increased, Su Chen's sudden burst of power would multiply.

However, this secret technique should not be used lightly.

After using it, there would be severe side effects.

Burning was still better; at worst, it would leave one weakened.

But Explosion would have a tremendous impact on the body.

As for Destruction, using it would cause Su Chen's strength to drop by a level directly.

Therefore, unless it was a matter of life and death,

Su Chen would not use it lightly.

But at this moment, Su Chen could no longer care about that.

He directly used the Burning Secret Technique.

Instantly, his explosive power increased several times.

Swoosh!

His body, just like Instant Teleportation, appeared in front of Liu Jie's husband.

But at this time, the Puppet's wide mouth also bit towards him.

Su Chen's expression darkened, and he immediately activated his Golden Body.

This time, he concentrated all the defensive power of the Golden Body on his hands.

His hands immediately turned golden, looking as if they were cast from Gold.

Clang!

The Puppet's wide mouth bit down.

But Su Chen caught its upper and lower jaws with his hands.

Instantly, Su Chen felt an extremely horrifying biting force.

Moreover, even his hands, which were concentrated with all the defensive power of the Golden Body, felt intense pain.

From up close, the Puppet looked even more terrifying and fierce.

It continuously bit down, trying to directly break Su Chen's hands.

The terrifying force was so great that Su Chen was somewhat unable to counter it.

For any animal, the biting force is definitely much greater than its own strength.

Let alone this Puppet, whose mouth was its strongest feature.

The distance between Su Chen's hands was shortening bit by bit.

The situation was extremely unfavorable.

Seeing Su Chen at a disadvantage, the Puppet revealed a smug smile in its eyes.

The human before it was too powerful.

Unbelievably powerful.

If it could eat this human,

Its strength would surge forward dramatically!

Su Chen, also harboring a killing intent towards the Puppet, did not wish to hold back any longer.

"Burn!" Su Chen used the Burning Secret Technique once more.

This secret technique, the one Su Chen used the most, was Burning.

But even he could only use it three times in a short period.

And Explosion and Destruction,

each could only be used once.

After using Burning, Su Chen's Inner Strength boiled like never before.

His whole body shone with a golden radiance.

"Break for me!"

Under Su Chen's tremendous force, the Puppet's mouth was slowly forced open.

The Puppet found that its strength was no match for this man's.

A hint of panic surfaced in its large eyes.

Su Chen continued to increase his force.

The wide mouth was gradually pried open.

Eventually, it was stretched to its limit.

But still, Su Chen did not stop.

"Split!"

With the last of his burning power, Su Chen let out a low roar.

The force in his hands suddenly increased to the maximum.

Crack!

The Puppet's gaping mouth could finally no longer withstand that immense, unrivaled force.

With a crack, it split open.
