In the black mist, a muffled groan and a low, mournful cry echoed. Suddenly, the figures of the elder in black and Yuan Shutu appeared.
Yuan Shutu was bleeding profusely from three serious wounds on his body. Although the blade hadn't truly struck him, the elder had arrived just a moment too late, and the three powerful blade energies had already severely injured Yuan Shutu!
The three wounds exposed his internal organs; it was clear that his insides were already shattered!
With such injuries, death was inevitable!
With a loud crash, a small puppet resembling Purple Jade shattered in front of Yuan Shutu, falling to the ground and turning into dust. From the dust, a ray of black light shot into the sky.
And the previously unconscious and barely alive Yuan Shutu had surprisingly stopped bleeding from his wounds, and even his pale complexion was gradually returning to normal.
"Itâs a substitute puppet!" The Lightning Serpentâs pupils contracted.
Yun Zhongtian also showed a look of surprise, not expecting that the three powerful blademastersâ combined attack had actually killed Yuan Shutu once!
The substitute puppet, as its name suggests, was a heavenly treasure that could block a fatal injury for its master once! Generally, it wouldn't activate for injuries that didn't threaten life.
Once the substitute puppet activated, it proved that Yuan Shutu had already died once; hence, the puppet would activate to take his place.
This was the greatest function of the substitute puppet, and indeed, it was astonishing!
The elder who had come later trembled slightly, his face alternating between green and white. He had blocked the three powerful blademasters, but still hadnât managed to stop the deathly blade energy!
This was a tremendous dereliction of duty on his part!
"Kid, you have a vicious method and great courage!" The elder turned to look at Chu Yang, his gaze somber.
It seemed he was about to retaliate recklessly.
Chu Yang stood up leisurely, not even glancing at Yuan Shutu, let alone paying attention to the elder; he calmly turned to Yun Zhongtian and said, "Brother Yun, you're just in time. Tomorrow night, the Heavenly Weapon Pavilion will hold a second auction. There will be treasures worth cities, legendary weapons, life-reviving elixirs, and some super treasures you absolutely wouldn't expect. Please inform the various sects."
Both Yun Zhongtian and the elder were momentarily stunned.
The elder was about to take action but halted abruptly.
Chu Yang casually said, "But please inform Brother Yun that this time, there will be no share for Mo Yun Tian! If even one person from Mo Yun Tian appears at the auction, it will be canceled on the spot!"
"This..." Yun Zhongtian paused, "Brother Chu, this matter is somewhat..."
"No need to consider!" Chu Yang's eyes gleamed with cold light as he coldly stated, "Furthermore, if Brother Yun fails to convey the message, the qualifications for Central Extreme Heaven will also be revoked! This cancellation will be permanent! Did you hear me clearly?!"
Yun Zhongtian was taken aback and quickly forced a wry smile, "Brother Chu, you must be misunderstanding me. Today's incident was entirely unexpected, and I was shocked to rush here to stop it, but I was too late, everything...â
Chu Yang smiled faintly, interrupting Yun Zhongtian's explanation, his voice becoming even more elegant and loud, "Brother Yun, there are no words like 'fool' inscribed on my forehead, nor 'idiot' on yours! We both know what todayâs events are really about! However, itâs not the time for us to fall out, so... if Brother Yun is wise enough, you should be more honest! Why waste unnecessary words?!"
Yun Zhongtian's face showed a hint of anger, but he quickly shook his head with a bitter smile.
He naturally understood what Chu Yang meant: If I can kill Yuan Shutu here, do you think I wouldnât dare to kill you too? Since Iâve acted impulsively once, whatâs stopping me from doing so again, or even going all the way!?
This clearly warned Yun Zhongtian: If you act recklessly, I will accompany you to the end!
