Lin Xianâs firewood-cutting axe cleaved through the air again.With the momentum of logging and firewood chopping, it was unstoppable.
However, Compassion remained expressionless.
He retreated a step, as a ladle tiger covered his face in defense.
That ladle tiger was incredibly fast; it managed to use its ladle-shaped back to block the descending axe before the blade could strike.
Upon the ladleâs back, three luminous spots successively lit up, forming a triangular pattern.
And the firewood-cutting axe came slashing down.
Clang!
The ladle tiger remained suspended midair, motionless, while Lin Xianâs firewood-cutting axe was deflected and tossed upward!
This was the first time since the battle began that Lin Xianâs axe had been deflected without achieving anything.
Defending against this attack with the ladle tiger consumed energy that could be measured in Prime Stones.
Of course, representing Summer Country in this battle, Compassion did not need to worry about resource depletion.
He had anticipated the defensive capabilities of the ladle tiger and swiftly reactedâstepping back twice.
His right hand pulled out a silver chain from his left sleeve, and with a crackling explosion, it whipped into a straightened chain spear.
Without any visible force exerted, he simply loosened his grip, and the chain spear shot out, aiming directly at Lin Xianâs throat.
In its extreme speed, the triangular spearhead of the chain suddenly opened a pair of dark green eyes!
What appeared to be a chain spear was, in fact, a triangular snake, baring its ferocious visage at the enemy.
Suddenly accelerating, it whistled eerily through the air as it surged forward.
This puppet was named the Chain Snake.
As stated in âKui Lunâ: This chain is not for binding but for killing!
It was not a chain for imprisoning people but a spear-shaped chain for slaughter.
The lethality of this puppet could be glimpsed from this description.
In the midst of battle, both parties had their brilliant responses.
Compassion retreated, unleashing the Chain Snake for a fierce counterattack.
Meanwhile, before this, Lin Xian raised his axe midair, lightly towing it and slashing back.
His firewood-cutting axe and arm should have been deflected by the ladle tigerâs shell, but he made the slash as if he had raised his arm high himself to exert force.
It was another natural, effortless stroke!
Clang!
The axe struck the ladle back again, but to no effect.
Under Compassionâs control, the ladle tiger completely abandoned offense, using only its ladle back as a shield, relying on its extraordinary speed and defense to withstand Lin Xianâs axe.
Lin Xianâs Divine Skills seemed to allow his axe to move without any restrictions.
Thatâs why, after two attempts, Compassion immediately gave up on seizing the axe and restraining Lin Xian, instead focusing solely on defense.
The chopping axe failed to make its mark, but it did not escape unscathed.
For as Lin Xian retracted his blade,
The Chain Snake had already opened its eyes and surged forward at incredible speed, piercing through Lin Xianâs chest!
The triangular snakehead carried flesh and blood, exploding suddenly at Lin Xianâs back, and like a snake spitting out its tongue, it shot out nine backward-pointing hooks, hooking onto Lin Xianâs back, nailing into his muscles and bones, suppressing his Path Origin blood.
But that was not all.
Simultaneously, a metallic-armored arm quietly pressed against Lin Xianâs neck, performing an inverted hang lock.
It was the iron automaton whose arm was previously severed by Lin Xian!
At this moment, Compassionâs two puppets converged in an attack.
Nobody doubted that the iron arm could effortlessly decapitate Lin Xian.
But Lin XianâŚ
Still raised his axe.
As he did so, still ensnared by the combined restraint of the Chain Snake and the iron automaton, it seemed as though he had no choice but death or surrender.
Yet when his firewood-cutting axe descended, he somehow already stood before Compassion!
Had it not been for the blood still flowing from his chest wound and his neck visibly slumped, what previously transpired might seem as if it had never happened!
At that moment, even Ye Lingxiao, who was conversing with others in the stands, couldnât help but glance over.
He recognized this Unrestrained Divine Power!
The owner of this Divine Power was unaffected by any restraint.
If properly developed, it was truly a peerless Divine Power.
Clang!
The ladle tiger once again positioned itself before Compassion, blocking Lin Xianâs firewood-cutting axe.
Compassion retreated three steps, his expression turning solemn.
At this very moment, the ladle tiger stood before him, staunchly fending off the opponentâs assault.
The Chain Snake hovered in the air behind Lin Xian, ready to strike.
His automaton, the Red Heaven Slave, had also pivoted around, poised to launch an attack.
Whereas Lin Xianâs chest wound, so severe and bloody, continued to gushâŚ
âI do not wish to take lives.
Just admit defeat,â Compassion declared, looking up, âRong Country is but a trivial nation; you can scarcely afford to lose a talent such as yourself.â
Indeed, Lin Xianâs Divine Skills were formidable, but in the current battlefield, Compassion had a very clear advantage.
The Unrestrained Divine Power allowed Lin Xian to attack freely, unfettered.
Yet his axe could not penetrate the ladle tiger, unable to truly harm Compassion.
Compassionâs Chain Snake, in coordination with the iron automaton, could pose an imminent lethal threat to Lin Xian.
MoreoverâŚ
Mercy has not yet displayed the quota for two puppets.
Who could know what other trump cards he holds?
At this moment, Mercyâs invitation for Lin Xian to concede carried a grand national demeanor.
But Lin Xian held his knife, his gaze unwavering.
Rong Country had hidden him well and cultivated him with great care.
His face still seemed youthful, and he didnât quite have the aura of a killer.
All this showed his youth.
Youth meant a long future was possible, filled with many possibilities.
To end it here would not be worth it.
However.
HoweverâŚ
Yang Jiande was once praised as a prodigy, at times on par with Zhongxuan Chuliang.
Ji Cheng also had his moment of glory, even making it into the main matches of the Yellow River Gathering, only to regretfully be defeated by the prodigy of Jinguo.
What happened after that?
Ji Cheng was tightly blocked by Qi Country, all his opportunities to charge forward ruined, and even the achievement of God Arrives eluded him.
Time stands on the side of the prodigies, this is true.
But Qi CountryâŚ
has more and stronger prodigies, a more powerful and unbeatable present.
Could he still afford to wait?
If he could not break through and show his potential in this Yellow River Gathering, entering the war after The Gate of All DemonsâŚ
Rong Country would be finishedâŚ
In the past, Yang Country was right next to Rong Country, and the two had occasional frictions.
Now what?
Only âQiâs Yang Regionâ remains.
âRong Country is indeed small.â Lin Xian looked at Mercy, the piercing wound in his chest apparently not affecting him at all, and he calmly said: âBut in my heart, itâs great.â
How great is my country?
It fills my heart.
Lin Xian advanced one step, an utterly ordinary step forward, and brought down his knife like a woodcutter chopping firewood!
No, not just one chop.
His knife fell from the left, from the right, from front, from behind, descending at countless angles.
The woodcutter comes to fell a mountain!
Clang!
This sound was more profound and heavy than any beforeâit was a thousand sounds merged into one.
The woodcutterâs knife fell.
Crack!
The gourd-back split, and the entire gourd tiger puppet was cleaved into two, collapsing to the ground!
The highly defensive gourd tiger was split in two while Lin Xianâs hand gripping the knife was already bloody.
However, at this moment, the chain snake had already shot forth.
The mechanical man, Irony Sky Slave, surged over!
Lin Xian turned and struck with his knife!
The blade of the woodcutterâs knife directly collided with the âspear tipâ of the chain snake.
This strike unexpectedly also cut the chain snake in half!
Crack crack.
It wasnât the sound of the chain snake shattering but the sound of Lin Xianâs right handâs bones breaking, all of them snapped.
He had used a force he couldnât control, and the woodcutterâs knife flew from his graspâŚ
Only to be caught by his left hand.
He stepped forward, the knife fell, severing an arm of the mechanical man, then with another horizontal sweep, Irony Sky Slaveâs mechanical head flew off!
The mechanical man crashed to the ground.
Simple, natural, decisive.
In the blink of an eye, the situation on the field changed.
All three of Mercyâs puppets were destroyed, and Lin Xian turned and stepped forward again.
The woodcutterâs knife fell!
This time without the gourd tiger to counter it.
Qiao Lin was almost ready to applaud for Lin Xian, to celebrate someone from Summer Country being knocked out ahead of time.
But Mercy suddenly pressed his middle finger against his left ear, tilted his head, and a round, rolling shadow suddenly flew out of his right ear.
That shadow stretched out violently in midair.
A single claw, a ghostly face, resembling a rat, with a pair of flesh wings.
It raised its head high, and the rat-like pointed mouth suddenly opened wide.
Lin Xian, who had just been wielding his knife magnificently as if a Heavenly God, now bled from seven orifices and fell backwards!
This creature was not a puppet; it was alive.
Mercy was not just a Moâs Monk, not just proficient in the craft of puppets, he also had the Taming Beast Technique!
