Dashing Student-Chapter 1067: Can’t Hold On Anymore
The Corpse Puppet was suppressed by the gravity within the array, which made Chen Nan’s eyes suddenly brighten as he hurriedly cast his magic.
"Wind Blade!"
"Star Fall!"
"Great Compassion Buddha Palm!"
Three successive spells were cast, all landing on the body of the little giant.
The ground instantly turned into a sea of flames, making a sizzling sound, but only burned the little giant’s clothes to ashes.
The Wind Blade chopped onto the body, but directly shattered.
Even the Great Compassion Buddha Palm, which restrained evil external forces, only slightly jostled the little giant without causing substantive harm.
Looking at the now naked little giant, Chen Nan couldn’t help but be surprised; such a body with astonishing defense, could it have been a Body Cultivator in life?
However, he noticed that as his magic landed on the little giant, a faint fluorescence appeared on its body surface like symbols.
The little giant, seemingly enraged after being attacked, slowly stood up at this moment despite being suppressed by gravity.
It began to walk step by step towards Chen Nan, its scarlet eyes devoid of any emotion, as if it were merely a walking corpse that solely acted on orders.
"I know now!"
The Divine Calculator outside the array suddenly shouted.
"This guy isn’t human at all but a puppet!"
"Puppet?" Chen Nan had heard of puppets, and he raised an eyebrow in astonishment: "But this clearly looks like a person!"
Watching as the little giant approached, Chen Nan decided to fight fire with fire and directly summoned the Heavy Mountain Pill Furnace, swinging it to smash onto the little giant.
This time it had a real effect, as the little giant was struck directly to the ground, causing the earth to shake violently.
"There are many types of puppets, such as wooden puppets, earth puppets, and the one before you is known as a Corpse Puppet!" The Divine Calculator explained to Chen Nan from outside.
"Corpse Puppets are refined using corpses, much like artifact refining, incorporating various precious materials while inscribing restrictions, making the Corpse Puppet indestructible, possessing immense power."
"Corpse Puppets often have soul fragments within them; this allows them to complete the orders given by their master without needing the master’s control. Clearly, this Corpse Puppet is guarding this Soul Destruction Sand."
The Divine Calculator spoke rapidly, letting Chen Nan know what kind of monster they were facing.
Though not skilled, he indeed had seen a lot and knew many things unknown to Chen Nan.
Seeing the Corpse Puppet rise again, Chen Nan rushed up and swung the Pill Furnace once more, this time caving in the Corpse Puppet’s chest significantly.
"What is the weakness of a Corpse Puppet?"
He hurriedly asked.
Although they had currently restricted the Corpse Puppet, once the Divine Calculator’s mana was exhausted and the array’s suppression lifted, he would be powerless to defeat it and would eventually be killed by the Corpse Puppet.
"Weakness..." The Divine Calculator’s face was anxious, and his arm trembled slightly, maintaining the array was consuming a great deal of his energy.
"Yes, the weakness is the soul fragment; if you destroy the soul fragment, and no one else can control it, the Corpse Puppet won’t be able to move. I suspect the master of this puppet has long since died."
"Divine Soul!"
Chen Nan suddenly realized, though he possessed some spirit soul attacking spells, they were mere fragments and exerted insufficient force to obliterate the Corpse Puppet’s soul fragment, rendering it impossible.
Yet he soon devised a solution.
Demon Suppressing Sword!
Especially effective against sinister souls!
"Jue Mingzi, hurry, I’m at my limit!"
The Divine Calculator shouted, his mana nearly depleted, and the suppression of the Corpse Puppet weakening.
Watching the Corpse Puppet stand and stride towards him, Chen Nan picked up the Pill Furnace and hurled it yet again.
A hit containing astonishing power was steadily caught by the Corpse Puppet’s hands.
"I can’t hold on!"
The Divine Calculator turned crimson with exertion, his Daoist robe soaked in sweat, collapsing onto the ground as the array dissipated instantly.
Without the suppression, the Corpse Puppet erupted with fearsome power, smashing a fist onto the Pill Furnace with a resounding clang, like the bell of a temple.
With force akin to a torrent, it instantly sent Chen Nan flying along with the Pill Furnace, crashing heavily into the wall.
"It’s over; are we going to die at the Corpse Puppet’s hands? This is too humiliating!"
The Divine Calculator looked as if he was about to cry, appearing utterly defeated.
"Shut up!"
Chen Nan gritted his teeth and stood up, with just a thought the Void Breaking Sword silently flew out, slicing through the air and in the blink of an eye stabbed towards the Corpse Puppet’s chest. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
The indestructible skin of the Corpse Puppet was unexpectedly pierced.
This scene was noticed by the Divine Calculator, his eyes suddenly glowing with excitement, "Junior Brother, with such a Secret Treasure, why didn’t you bring it out sooner?"
Chen Nan hadn’t anticipated that the Void Breaking Sword would so easily penetrate the Corpse Puppet’s defense, truly living up to its name of ’Void Breaking.’
Unfortunately, the Corpse Puppet’s movements were so fast it was unimaginable, raising its hand to catch the Void Breaking Sword and preventing the small sword from entering its body.
"Ah, what a waste!"
The Divine Calculator continued their endless chatter.
But Chen Nan suddenly took a step forward, thunder spreading across his body, where wings formed on his back and transformed into lightning in an instant and vanished.
"Now’s the time!"
He roared, now above the Corpse Puppet’s head, thrusting down the Demon Suppressing Sword, piercing directly through the Corpse Puppet’s skull!
The Demon Suppressing Sword burst forth with red light, seemingly holding an eerie quality, yet the red glow in the Corpse Puppet’s eyes quickly faded.
Finally, the Corpse Puppet fell heavily to the ground, its soul fragment absorbed completely by the Demon Suppressing Sword.
"Huff, huff..."
Chen Nan gasped heavily, the final attack making use of the Void Breaking Sword merely to distract the Corpse Puppet, whereas the real killing move was the Demon Suppressing Sword, which restrained the soul fragment.
"Dead?"
The Divine Calculator still couldn’t believe it but soon joyfully hurried forward and pried open the Corpse Puppet’s hand, retrieving the Void Breaking Sword.
"Dao Brother."
Chen Nan reminded.
The Divine Calculator awkwardly smiled, hiding his greed well, "I just wanted to have a look."
As if admiring a priceless treasure, he meticulously inspected the Void Breaking Sword in his hands.
"A truly fine treasure, designed to pierce defenses, made with top-grade materials, an exquisite creation!"
Chen Nan felt a bit embarrassed by the praise; he hadn’t noticed the Void Breaking Sword being that exceptional, as when unused, it’s just a small sword.
The Divine Calculator still wanted to examine the Demon Suppressing Sword but was preemptively stopped by Chen Nan, who put away the Void Breaking Sword too, leaving the Divine Calculator disappointed.
But he quickly shifted focus, running to the stone platform eager to seize the Soul Destruction Sand on it.
"Dao Brother, wait."
Chen Nan suddenly approached, gripping the Divine Calculator’s arm.
"What’s wrong? This is Soul Destruction Sand, with enough here for us both to share; Daoist won’t forget your portion."
But Chen Nan shook his head and gently said, "Don’t you suspect? Why are we here, and why is the Soul Destruction Sand placed here?"
"I suspect this Soul Destruction Sand is the Array Eye of the array!"
