Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1818: 465: Puppet Dao’s Peerless Prodigy! Peach Blossom Fate! (part 3)

Lu Changsheng entered the Formless Domain alongside his son, Lu Ping’an, while the Great Luo Sword Embryo manifested within his grasp.

"A Wu."

He decided to utilize the fourteen Supreme Spirit Stones he had recently acquired. Passing them to A Wu, he signaled for the spirit to prepare the Taiyin Mysterious Light to disrupt their foe during the coming clash.

Lu Changsheng remained intensely vigilant despite facing a renowned heavenly hero, holding nothing back in his preparation.

He then activated the Reversal Yin Yang Glazed Glass Wall to its full extent, staying hidden while he scouted for a weakness.

Through careful observation, Lu Changsheng had previously concluded that the man himself was the primary vulnerability once the puppet battle formation was established.

Outside the cave, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng resembled a savage demon king, radiating a terrifying ferocity as it struck the puppet master with waves of destructive power.

The qi signatures of the thirteen puppets began to synchronize, weaving intricate and mysterious formation patterns into a puppet formation map designed to ensnare the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.

One had to admit the man’s puppet battle formation was truly remarkable, capable of enduring several direct exchanges even against a Nascent Soul True Lord.

While the thirteen puppets were occupied with suppressing the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, Lu Changsheng stealthily exited the cave under the cover of the Reversal Yin Yang Glazed Glass Wall. Suddenly, the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone surged with explosive power as he swung the Great Luo Sword Embryo.

"Clang!"

A magnificent and peerless sword light tore through the sky, erupting with a brilliance so sharp it seemed to cut the very air.

"This is bad!"

The puppet master, who had been focused on hunting the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, felt a frantic warning in his heart. He desperately triggered his magical robe, a protective barrier, and the puppet formation map for defense.

However, as Lu Changsheng’s blade descended, the Yin Yang Chart and the Brahman Demon True Body materialized simultaneously to launch a joint assault.

The Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror tucked in his robes consumed a Supreme Spirit Stone, unleashing a burst of frigid, mysterious white light.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

Faced with such a majestic sword light, the man’s protective barrier and magical robe shattered like fragile porcelain.

The combined might of the Yin Yang Chart and the Brahman Demon True Body struck immediately after, causing everything to crumble. A thin line of blood appeared on the man’s forehead, extending all the way down to his legs.

Blood sprayed into the air.

The man’s body split perfectly in two, his eyes reflecting a sense of disbelief even in death.

"???"

Lu Changsheng looked on with a mixture of confusion and astonishment.

What just happened?

Wasn't this man supposed to be a supreme heavenly hero capable of commanding thirteen puppets while simultaneously wielding magical treasures? How could he fall to a single strike?

He knew that the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone at maximum power could instantly slay a Core Formation Peak cultivator, but he expected such a genius to have many more hidden trump cards.

Nearby, the Third Rank Top Level puppet watched the scene, its dark, hollow eyes flickering as if two flames had ignited within them.

It was shocked that another attacker had been hiding in ambush, completely undetected until the strike.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

Nine of the thirteen puppets suddenly turned and fled, abandoning the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng. The remaining four began to roar like awakening engines of war, initiating a self-destruction sequence.

"Hmm?"

Lu Changsheng froze for a moment in surprise.

How could these puppets move independently when their master was already dead?

These machines were highly unusual!

He was reminded of his own Thousand Faces Puppet Fox, but even that possessed no such autonomy despite having its own consciousness.

Without a second to lose, Lu Changsheng grabbed the two halves of the man’s corpse. The Yin Yang Chart expanded across the heavens, radiating infinite yin yang divine light as he used the Yin Yang Qi Grasp to contain the four exploding puppets.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

Even with his quick reaction, the force of the blast caused Lu Changsheng’s internal qi and blood to churn violently.

"You won't escape!"

With a cold expression, Lu Changsheng leaped onto the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, covering dozens of miles in an instant to intercept the nine fleeing puppets.

The puppets tried to use the same tactic, sending five of their number forward to self-destruct.

Lu Changsheng was not about to let them succeed a second time.

The Taiyin Mysterious Light he had prepared for the master earlier now beamed from his chest.

While this light might not pose a threat to a Nascent Soul cultivator, it was more than enough to handle several Third Rank puppets.

Frost instantly coated the five self-destructing puppets, slowing their movements until their light faded and they were crushed by the Yin Yang Qi Grasp.

Seeing this, three more puppets moved to block him from different angles, clearly trying to buy time for the Third Rank Peak puppet Lu Changsheng had been watching.

"There is definitely something wrong with that puppet!"

Lu Changsheng’s focus remained on that specific Third Rank Peak unit. He had suspected it was the man’s lifebound puppet, but its behavior now suggested it was something far more significant.

The Brahman Demon True Body let out a roar, growing several feet in height as its six arms lunged out to pin the three puppets, preventing them from blowing up.

Immediately after, a snow-white dan pill manifested into the Three Treasures Incarnation. Taking control of the Yin Yang Chart, it shot toward the fleeing Third Rank Top Level puppet.

Without their battle formation, these puppets were far less formidable than they appeared.

The three held by the Brahman Demon True Body were quickly subdued by Lu Changsheng’s techniques.

Meanwhile, the lone Third Rank Top Level puppet was no match for the Three Treasures Incarnation and found itself trapped and unable to break away.

Lu Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng arrived shortly after. The Great Luo Sword Embryo flashed with peerless light, inflicting minor damage on the puppet’s frame.

In that moment, the Peach Blossom Gu residing in Lu Changsheng’s Sea of Consciousness sent him a faint signal.

It suggested he had a chance to form a Peach Blossom Fate with the puppet in front of him and urged him not to let the opportunity pass.

"???"

Lu Changsheng was utterly baffled.

What was this thing thinking?

The Peach Blossom Gu was becoming increasingly greedy; it usually reacted whenever he met a woman, signaling that his charm could create a Peach Blossom Fate.

But this was a machine!

Was it possible this puppet was like his Thousand Faces Puppet Fox, perhaps made from the master's wife? Was it a female puppet?

Ignoring the strange urges of the Peach Blossom Gu, Lu Changsheng used the Yin Yang Qi Grasp carefully to avoid destroying the puppet.

These were valuable spoils of war, after all. His current skills in puppet crafting weren't high enough to fix them if they were completely wrecked.

However, curious about the Gu’s reaction, he decided to use a Divine Consciousness Secret Technique from the Six Desires Heart Demon Technique on the puppet.

Normally, puppets are like his Three Treasures Incarnation—soulless husks immune to mental attacks.

Yet, the moment the technique hit, Lu Changsheng felt a distinct ripple of soul consciousness coming from within the machine.

This soul signature was peculiar, differing from that of a standard human soul.

"It actually possesses a soul?"

Shocked, Lu Changsheng applied a Sealing Divine Light and bound the puppet tightly with an unrefined rope magical treasure, intending to study it later.

"Master!"

Suddenly, the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror in his chest began to vibrate with a frantic warning.

It detected three powerful, concealed qi signatures rapidly approaching their location.

One of the magical auras felt disturbingly similar to that of the Ming Sha True Monarch.

"Ming Sha True Monarch!?"

Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly shoved the captured puppet into his Qiankun Shadow-Confining Belt and commanded the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to burn its life force to make a swift escape.

The presence of three such powerful auras meant Ming Sha True Monarch had returned with reinforcements. In his current state, he was in no position to fight them.
