In the ancient relic, the Heavenly Puppet Sect's cultivators were forbidden from entering. Bai Luo had sealed his puppet techniques and retrained in the White Emperor Sutra to blend in.
But now, there was no need for that!
If he wished, he could unseal himself and instantly revert to being the all-powerful number one Chosen of the Heavenly Puppet Sect!
Even after witnessing Xu Hei's strength, Bai Luo still believed himself invincible, thinking the opponent only had a twenty percent chance of defeating him, and it wasn't without reason. His confidence was not self-deception!
Three Core Formation puppets were his trump card. Which Foundation Establishnt Stage could withstand them?
"You forced to use my trump card and even destroyed a puppet. Bai Qiushui, you have enough to be proud of! But tis have changed, and the Bai Family's combat style is outdated!"
Bai Luo's voice was low, and countless spider-web-like threads erged from the puppet, entangling Bai Qiushui.
However, Bai Qiushui's forward montum was not halted; instead, his strength grew stronger. His entire body radiated a brilliant glaze, and the two Core Formation puppets couldn't stop him!
Even the newly ford sealing formation was about to be broken.
"What?"
Bai Luo's pupils contracted as he saw a massive fist, unstoppable, break through the seal and crash into his face, leaving no room to dodge.
The Bai Family's Nuclear Fusion Fist!
"Bang!!"
A crisp sound of bones shattering echoed as Bai Luo's nose collapsed, his entire face caved in, teeth flying out like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the ruins, causing a thunderous vibration and creating a hundred-zhang-wide crater!
"He actually broke through?"
Xu Hei was full of shock. The sealing formation just now was already a simplified version of the Seven Star Dragon Lock Formation, yet Bai Qiushui broke through it.
Without using a single spell, relying purely on physical strength, was the Diamond Suppression Technique really that powerful?
"Xu Hei, who do you think will win?" Hei Huang laughed.
"How would I know?" Xu Hei shook his head.
Bai Luo spat out a mouthful of blood, seeing Bai Qiushui dive down like a teor. He no longer held back, summoning a large number of chanical puppets, forming a battle formation with full firepower coverage.
Bai Qiushui didn't use any defensive magical artifacts, allowing the shells to hit him without fear. His body friction sparked, like a brilliant star, crashing down from the sky.
On one side were the advanced spell chanisms of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, on the other, the Bai Family's traditional hand-to-hand combat.
This battle was not only a contest of strength but also a clash of ideologies.
Two Chosen of the Bai Family's generation had embarked on completely different paths!
Bai Qiushui, with a determination to die, took out the Thunder Tribulation Pearl. Was it really just for himself? For Mo Wuyou's inheritance?
No!
"Bai Luo, I will use the Bai Family's fists and feet that you look down upon to utterly destroy you!!!"
Bai Qiushui's eyes blazed with imnse fire, and with a long roar, he charged towards the endless army of puppets, accompanied by fists and feet crashing down from the sky.

Wuyou City, Yunlu Academy.
"Teacher, you always say that human nature is inherently good, but I see that little Xu from the Xu family is clearly inherently evil!"
"Just born and already biting people, at three he can crush a chick to death, at five he uses a slingshot to shoot birds, and often bullies other children. If not for his parents' discipline, who knows what trouble he might cause."
In front of the academy, Sun Qing spoke to an elderly gentleman with white hair.
The old gentleman shook his head, "The little one from the Xu family is just mischievous, how can that be related to evil? Next year his parents will send him here to study, and his temperant will naturally improve."
It had been eight years since Xu Hei was born.
Xu Hei retained the nature of a snake, full of hostility towards any foreign object. While ordinary people would fear killing chickens or slaughtering cattle, he could wield the knife himself.
The little tyrant of the world, Xu the Butcher, the king of children... at just eight years old, he had earned a series of titles.
He didn't understand what good and evil were, only knowing that anything threatening him must be eliminated!
But within Wuyou City, nothing posed a threat to him.
Under the ticulous care of his parents, day after day, year after year, Xu Hei finally restrained his temper sowhat, no longer attacking people unprovoked.
"Tomorrow you're going to Yunlu Academy, Xu Hei, you must listen to the teacher and not cause trouble!"
"If you're wronged, just co ho, don't get into fights outside!"
His parents' repeated reminders were etched in Xu Hei's mind.
At night, Xu Hei went to his room and took out a snake as long as an arm from under the bed.
This was a pet snake, entirely golden yellow, with a gentle temperant.
Originally a fierce species, but after years of Xu Hei's nurturing, it no longer had any aggression, even its venomous fangs had fallen out.
Like a wolf tad into a dog; a wild chicken tad into a dostic one.
In a peaceful and carefree environnt, the snake lost its fangs, and Xu Hei learned to care for a pet.
"Hei Huang, tomorrow I'm going to the academy, do you want to co with ?" Xu Hei asked.
Hei Huang was the na of the pet snake.
The little yellow snake only flicked its tongue, and Xu Hei seed to understand its aning, nodding, "Alright, I'll take you with !"
The next day, at Yunlu Academy.
When a snake crawled out of Xu Hei's bag, it instantly caused an uproar.
"Run, there's a snake!"
"Soone help!"
"Get him out of here!"
Various urgent cries rang out, and for a mont, the scene was chaotic and disorderly.
In the end, it was the old gentleman who stepped in, calming everyone down.
"This kid is a bad seed, he can't stay here!"
"Keeping a snake as a pet is too dangerous!"
Despite everyone's strong persuasion, the old gentleman still decided to keep Xu Hei, but the price was to release the snake.
Originally, the demand was to kill it, but after much debate, it was changed to releasing it.
"Why can't snakes be allowed? They're living creatures too, why treat them differently?" Xu Hei was very confused.
So at the academy kept birds, so kept fish, so kept cats, but snakes were not allowed! Even without fangs, it wasn't allowed!
Rembering his parents' advice, Xu Hei gritted his teeth and released the little snake into the pond behind the mountain. From then on, he would co here every day to feed it.
From then on, Xu Hei had a confusion in his heart: the good and evil people spoke of had double standards.
Xu Hei found the teacher and asked, "Teacher, what is goodness?"
"Goodness, you can understand it as being kind to others, helping each other, being sincere, and having a positive impact on everything," the old gentleman replied.
Xu Hei was silent for a mont, then said, "Are people born this way?"
The old gentleman smiled, "In Wuyou City, yes! Human nature is inherently good."
"What if it's in a dangerous environnt?" Xu Hei asked again.
The answer Xu Hei received was a long silence.
After a long ti, the old gentleman said, "Xu Hei, when you grow up, we can discuss this question again."
A month later.
When Xu Hei ca to the pond behind the mountain as usual to feed Hei Huang, he found that the little golden snake had long been dead—it had been eaten by a wild cat.
Xu Hei squatted by the pond, staring at the snake's incomplete body, as if he were dumbfounded, lost in a long daze.
From the traces on the ground, Hei Huang had tried to fight back.
But in a peaceful environnt, it had lost its fangs, its most powerful weapon for self-defense, and once it went into the wild, it was dood to die.
