Chapter 304: Battle of Armored Puppets

Shi Chen stared at the armored puppet charging at him with such force that his eyes narrowed, knowing full well that this battle was inevitable. He took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his state, and let his spiritual energy surge, preparing for this fierce battle.

The armored puppets approached like a flash of lightning, spears brandishing, swords and shields clashing, creating gusts of sharp wind. Shi Chen nimbly dodged the attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

"King Gongshui, since you don't want to talk about what happened back then, I'll have to get past you first." Shi Chen said loudly, his tone full of determination.

The armored puppets' attacks intensified, and Shi Chen continued to weave through the hail of spears and swords, feeling the pressure mount. But he didn't flinch, relying on his sharp reflexes and immense strength to defuse crises time and time again.

"Break!" Shi Chen shouted, sending a powerful spiritual shockwave towards the armored puppet. The armored puppet raised its sword and shield to block, but was still shaken back by the powerful impact.

Shi Chen took the opportunity to advance and engage in close combat with the armored puppet. His fists and kicks rained down on the armored puppet like a torrential downpour, emitting bursts of dull sounds.

The armored puppets fought back, brandishing their spears, swords, and shields. The two sides fought back and forth, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Stabbing, sweeping, picking, collapsing, blocking, spinning, the spear techniques are presented one by one, combined with the sword and shield, forming a medium to close distance, almost impeccable combat method.

The combination of sword and shield perfectly interprets attack and defense.

Unable to engage in close combat, Shi Chen had no chance of using the reverse rune. He rapidly pondered a strategy, nimbly dodging the armored puppet's attacks while observing its movements, trying to find an opportunity to approach it.

"When you fought against the soldier puppet earlier, the spiritual rune you drew seemed to be specifically designed to restrain the puppet. However, it can only be effective if it is imprinted on the puppet in close combat. I won't give you a chance to fight in close combat. Let's see how you break it." King Gongshui said.

Shi Chen's heart tightened upon hearing this. He knew that King Gongshui was right. Although the reverse rune had the effect of restraining the puppet, it was difficult to use it now that he couldn't get close to it.

"Although I can't fight you in close combat, you can't hit me either. If this goes on, it will always be a draw and you won't be able to do anything to me." Shi Chen said calmly, looking around the palace, trying to find something advantageous.

"That's hard to say. This palace is my royal palace. As long as I activate the formation and use it, you will be defeated soon." said King Gongshui.

"Formation?" Shi Chen asked absentmindedly, "Are you sure you want to use a formation?"

The voice of the Gongshui King came with a hint of majesty: "Young man, the puppet formation is coordinated, I can't think of a way for you to break it."

"You have the formation for the main hall, and I also know a little about formations. How about you activate the formation and let me see the difference between the formation of the Xuanxian Realm a hundred thousand years ago and the formation of the current cultivation world." Shi Chen said confidently with shining eyes.

The Gongshui King was silent for a moment, seemingly considering Shi Chen's proposal. Then, his voice rang out again, "Alright, since you are so confident, I will activate the formation and let you witness the power of the formation from the Xuanxian Realm a hundred thousand years ago."

As the Gongshui King finished speaking, a powerful surge of spiritual energy suddenly surged through the palace. Countless mysterious runes emerged from the palace's walls, floor, and ceiling, gleaming with dazzling light. These runes interconnected, forming a complex and powerful formation.

Shi Chen observed the formation intently. He could sense the immense power within it, a force far exceeding any he had ever seen. He began to carefully analyze its structure and operating principles, trying to find a way to break it.

This is a mixed formation that blocks spiritual consciousness, creates illusions, strangles, and suppresses. The last one is a soul-sealing formation.

The array pattern is different from what he has learned. It is more intuitive and simple. However, its disadvantage is that it is not well hidden. When the array is activated, the array patterns appear everywhere. People who don't know the array may be confused by the fancy display. Only third or fourth level array masters can see the tricks in it.

The person who set up the formation might have wanted to show off, so he made the formation patterns visible. Otherwise, if he just arranged a few hidden formation patterns, this complex formation would be more perfect.

He took out a formation flag from the storage ring, activated his spiritual power, and threw it around.

After three breaths, there was a slight sound, the illusion disappeared, and the compound formation lost its effectiveness.

Shi Chen stood calmly in the hall, looking at the armored puppet not far away. If it could have expressions, it would be jaw-dropping with shock.

"King Gongshui, look, can the complex formation in the hall be of any use to me?" Shi Chen said proudly.

After a moment of silence, the armored puppet walked to the center. The voice of the Gongshui King echoed again in the hall: "You are indeed quite capable. You can even break the round formation set up by the formation master I hired at great expense. However, you cannot defeat this armored puppet. Next, let him unleash his true strength."

The armored puppet waved its weapon, and King Gongshui spoke again: "If you can defeat it, I will tell you a piece of news about the origin of the realm."

As the Gongshui King finished speaking, an even more powerful spiritual energy surge suddenly erupted from the armored puppet. Its spear, sword, and shield shone with light, as if infused with new strength.

The armored puppet instantly moved, faster than before and attacking even more fiercely. It rushed towards Shi Chen like a flash of lightning, its spear piercing with a destructive aura.

Shi Chen dodged the attack narrowly.

Spells have little effect on it, and in close combat, I can't touch it. Looking at the grade of the spiritual material of this armor puppet, it's only high, not low. My close combat means have limited damage to it.

If we exchange damage, I'm afraid I can't withstand its three attacks.

It’s difficult to defeat this armored puppet!

How can the reverse rune be imprinted on the armor puppet?

The means of long-range attack are nothing more than spells, bows and arrows, flying knives, stones, flying swords, magic weapons? Talismans!

Yes! Talisman!

If I draw the reverse rune into a rune and use the talisman attack method, a glimmer of hope emerged in Shi Chen's heart.

He immediately took action and took out some materials for making talismans from the storage ring.

Shi Chen was concentrating on drawing the reverse rune talisman. He injected his spiritual power into it to ensure that the talisman was powerful enough.

During the drawing process, he constantly adjusted the structure and energy flow of the runes, striving to achieve the best effect.

Finally, the reverse rune talisman was completed.

Looking up at the armored puppet, it was charging towards him again. Shi Chen activated the reverse rune talisman without hesitation. A flash of light passed, and the talisman flew towards the armored puppet like lightning.

The armored puppet seemed to sense the threat of the talisman as well. It dodged to the side, avoiding the attack, and aimed its spear straight at Shi Chen.

One talisman won't work, it can dodge it, so I instantly activate ten or twenty talismans to see if it can dodge them all.
