Chapter 0490 Battle of the Puppets

Chapter 0490: The Puppet Battle

The Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron is renowned, as it was a famous Dao Weapon in ancient times, primarily crafted to deal with dragons, and it bears the Sky Lion totem pattern.

At this moment, after Qin Yun took it out, many elders' eyes were filled with envy, their greedy gazes like those of wolves and tigers spotting prey.

If Qin Yun could forge a royal-grade spiritual artifact, it would mean he is a royal-grade Runes Grandmaster!

Many found this difficult to believe.

After all, in the Ancient Gardens, there are no decent Runes Masters.

Skilled Runes Masters wouldn't venture into such a place.

Although there is a Runes Temple here, Runes Masters are rare, let alone a royal-grade Runes Master!

Generally, among warriors at the Spirit Martial Stage, royal-grade Runes Masters are few, let alone at the Martial Dao Realm.

Qin Yun, a young warrior at the Martial Dao Realm, is actually a royal-grade Runes Master, which is hard to accept because it defies common sense!

Qin Yun placed the Starstone into the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron and injected Black Yang Fire to burn it.

"Starstones are difficult to refine. How long will you take? We don’t have that kind of time!" Qian Chao said coldly. As the manager of a small Runes Temple and a Runes Master himself, he was inferior to Qin Yun and thus envious of him.

"Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting long," Qin Yun said, then immediately took out the Starstone from the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron.

The originally black Starstone was now red-hot!

He refined it so quickly that no one had to wait long!

Qin Yun took out the Giant Spirit King's Hammer and Imperial Bone Steel.

The Imperial Bone Steel was quickly burned and then forged together with the Starstone.

Clang, clang, clang, clang...

Having reached the seventh level of Martial Dao, Qin Yun's strength had greatly increased, especially the Dao Force transformed from the seven life marks, which could be described as surging and powerful.

With just a few strikes, the Starstone and Imperial Bone Steel were forged into a smaller size and then refined into a dagger.

Finally, he took out the Spirit Rhino Mystic Pen and carved nine sets of spirit patterns in one go, the process was incredibly fast.

In just an hour, he completed the dagger!

Although the dagger is small, it is a royal-grade spiritual artifact, and being able to forge it so quickly is quite remarkable.

"Is this truly a royal-grade spiritual artifact?" Qian Chao said with a puzzled expression. "You forged it in such a short time, it's impossible, you must be lying!"

"You can take out a mystic weapon for me to test!" Qin Yun held the dagger and smiled slightly. "Your mystic weapon won’t deceive!"

Qian Chao sneered, "Even a Runes Grandmaster couldn't forge a royal-grade spiritual artifact so quickly, let alone you!"

He quickly took out a long sword and said, "This is my mystic weapon! Though its grade isn’t high, it’s more than enough to handle a royal-grade spiritual artifact, let alone the trash you forged!"

Many people had just seen that Qin Yun's dagger was only made of bone steel and Starstone, with no other materials.

If the Starstone is genuine, it must be incredibly sturdy!

Qin Yun placed the dagger on the stage and said, "If your sword can't break this dagger, then the Starstone is genuine! In that case, Xinxin won’t need to return the Purple Crystal Coins to you!"

"No problem!" Qian Chao confidently walked over and slashed at the short blade with great force.

A crisp metallic clang rang out!

Qian Chao's long sword shattered!

Half of the broken sword flew out and landed on the ground, leaving everyone stunned!

For Martial Warriors, mystical weapons are extremely expensive, and the vast majority of Martial Warriors only possess royal grade spiritual artifacts.

Qian Chao was devastated, his face turning green as he looked at his shattered sword.

"This proves that the stone is indeed Starstone! Such hardness that even a mystical weapon couldn't damage it!" Qin Yun smiled, picked up the short blade, and handed it to Xu Xinxin.

Xu Xinxin insisted on giving Qin Yun five hundred thousand purple crystal coins before she would accept the short blade.

This made many people extremely jealous, as Xu Xinxin had bought such a powerful royal grade spiritual artifact for just five hundred thousand purple crystal coins!

"The elders at the Runes Hall have really poor judgment! Starstone is so powerful, it could easily be used as material for crafting mystical weapons!"

"Exactly! They actually misjudged it, not only losing the Starstone but also giving that young lady over a million purple crystal coins!"

"Isn't the Runes Hall supposed to be the strongest runes force in the Spirit Wasteland? How could they misjudge it?"

"It must be said, Qin Yun truly has exceptional talent. In such a short time, he crafted a royal grade spiritual artifact comparable to a mystical weapon!"

"His short blade might only be inferior to a mystical weapon in terms of runes, but the material strength is at the level of a mystical weapon!"

In the crowd, many people immediately held Qin Yun in high regard, as he was indeed a very powerful Runes Master!

If they could win his favor, he could easily help them craft a royal grade spiritual artifact!

The people from the Golden Sun Sect were gnashing their teeth, as even their Nine Sun Sect didn't have a genius like Qin Yun.

An elder from the Golden Sun Sect said, "Qin Yun, the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron is a Dao Artifact of our Golden Sun Sect!"

"You might not know this, but back then, our Nine Sun Sect participated in the construction of the Immortal Tomb, and this cauldron was also crafted with our involvement!"

"Now, it's time to return it to its rightful owner!"

Qin Yun's expression darkened, "Are you trying to take my Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron?"

"It's not yours, but ours! We're not taking it, just taking it back!" The elder from the Golden Sun Sect sneered, "If you're willing to return it, we can overlook the incident of you killing Zuo Jinfei!"

Qin Yun laughed heartily, "I can return it, but I wonder if you have the ability to take back the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron!"

With that, he threw the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron into the air, where it floated above the elder from the Golden Sun Sect.

The elder was overjoyed and reached out to catch it, only to find that the cauldron suddenly grew in size and then plummeted down!

Boom!

The Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron crashed down heavily, causing the ground to shake slightly!

The elder from the Golden Sun Sect was utterly crushed, with blood and flesh splattering everywhere!

The people around the elder, all from the Golden Sun Sect, were covered in the elder's blood, their faces frozen in terror!

That elder was the strongest in the Golden Sun Sect, yet he was killed instantly by the falling cauldron!

The crowd held their breath, quietly stepping back as they could see that a fierce battle was about to break out here!

The elders from the Qiwen Hall, who had been quite arrogant before, now looked fearful and slowly edged away.

Members from several other branches of the Nine Sun Sect had also arrived, totaling several dozen people, including elders and middle-aged individuals. They must have been close by to arrive so quickly.

As soon as they arrived, they saw the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron, and their faces instantly lit up with greed.

Then, they saw the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron rise into the air, and beneath it, there was the body of a crushed elder.

"All disciples of the Nine Sun Sects, deploy your puppet warriors!" shouted a middle-aged man from the Golden Sun Sect, quickly summoning a massive tiger several meters long.

The newly arrived members of the Nine Sun Sects also knew that Qin Yun was not someone to be trifled with.

The sect disciples sent here all had powerful puppet warriors or beasts, which was convenient for dealing with various dangers.

Of course, these puppet warriors or beasts were nothing special to Qin Yun.

Zuo Jinfei's Crocodile Armor Man was fairly formidable, but Qin Yun had easily dispatched it. However, at that time, Qin Yun was only facing one puppet warrior.

Now, multiple sects, totem halls, and bloodline families had gathered, forming a wide circle around Qin Yun. Even the air was thick with puppets, totaling over a hundred.

The people controlling the puppets were keeping their distance!

Xu Xinxin furrowed her delicate, willow-like eyebrows slightly, showing fear as she looked at the fierce puppets surrounding her.

"Xinxin, relax, I'll tuck you away in the storage space," Qin Yun gently touched her face and said.

Xu Xinxin nodded, and then Qin Yun placed her into the space of the Nine Sun Divine Pouch, where Mo Mo and the others were, so she wouldn't feel lonely or scared.

Qin Yun controlled the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron, hovering it before him, and coldly said, "Do you all seek to capture me?"

Only the Qiwen Hall did not participate, as Han Fenghu had previously reconciled with Qin Yun. Even if they wanted to join, they had to consider the consequences.

"Qin Yun, you ruthless demon, you even stole our Nine Sun Sect's ancient Dao Artifact. Of course, we want to capture you!" an elder sneered, while simultaneously controlling a tall puppet warrior to charge at Qin Yun.

Other puppets also quickly attacked, gathering powerful forces, some charging at Qin Yun, while others launched energy attacks from a distance.

Those people believed that controlling puppets to besiege one person would surely lead to success!

However, they still underestimated Qin Yun!

Qin Yun smiled coldly and released his own puppet!

A burst of white light flashed in the air, and a massive Bone Dragon emerged!

After the Bone Dragon appeared, it emitted a deep, menacing roar and then charged fiercely towards the group controlling the puppets in the distance!

Qin Yun stood calmly in place, allowing the puppets to attack.

He was wearing Dao Artifact Armor, and these puppets, without the power of the Spirit Martial Realm, could not break through the defense of the Dao Artifact Armor.

The people controlling the puppets in the distance, seeing the massive Bone Dragon roaring towards them, felt utterly overwhelmed.

No one expected Qin Yun's puppet to be so huge and powerful!

From a distance, it looked like the skeleton of a dragon, without flesh, but even more terrifying, as if it had crawled out of hell!

Qin Yun wielded a Dao Artifact greatsword, executing the Six Forms of Wind Slash, cutting down the puppet warriors and beasts.

The onlookers in the distance, seeing Qin Yun's sword strikes, were terrified to the extreme, quietly relieved they hadn't gotten involved!

Every time Qin Yun swung his greatsword, it unleashed waves of fierce energy, mixed with thunder and fire, like dragons and tigers, accompanied by thunder and lightning, wildly striking the puppets.

In the blink of an eye, most of the puppets were destroyed!
