Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master - Chapter 1134 - 427: Martial Craftsman

Chapter 1134: Chapter 427: Martial Craftsman

The cultivator Hao did not hurry to agree, instead he first observed.

Ao Pan, who was hunching like an old ape, moved forward slowly.

His demeanor was calm, yet he still maintained his leading position. He had already acquired five pieces of bronze artifacts.

However, his most skilled bronze whip had worn out significantly and was no longer in use.

He used a bronze long rod most frequently.

Ao Pan had a solid martial arts foundation and could wield eighteen types of weapons.

Second place was occupied by Tie Zheng.

This Golden Core Level Martial Cultivator was acquiring his fifth bronze artifact.

Around him, bronze sword, knife, long spear, and scythe encircled.

They cooperated harmoniously, advancing and retreating freely, occasionally displaying continuous techniques or joint attack skills.

Tie Zheng, wearing a bronze beast mask, had mastery of Divine Sense manipulation no inferior to Mechanism Cultivators of the same cultivation level!

Lu Zeng was in third place.

He wielded a bronze spear and was just engaged in battle with the fifth bronze knife.

Bronze hammer and three other weapons were used alternately by him.

The sword skill of the bronze knife had reached a level where no move beats a move; it suddenly sliced through, appearing ordinary, yet Lu Zeng was precisely caught in a flaw.

He could only sigh, let go of the bronze spear, and roll over to dodge the blade.

He made a gesture of holding with empty hands and struck towards the bronze knife.

Instantly, the bronze hammer floating by him proactively slotted into his hand.

Boom.

He didn’t hit, but he managed to force the bronze knife to retreat.

The Hao-surnamed cultivator found the scene interesting: “Tie Zheng, as a Golden Core Level Martial Cultivator, uses Mysterious Armor like a Mechanism Cultivator. Lu Zeng, as a Mechanism Cultivator, fights in close quarters like a Martial Cultivator.”

“It seems that their identities mismatch, but in fact, both are consciously training, honing their weaknesses.”

“They are preparing for the third stage.”

The top three spots were occupied by three Golden Core Level Cultivators, which fully reflected the importance of cultivation level.

Achieving the Golden Core is a qualitative change, possessing the Golden Core brings comprehensive enhancement to a cultivator.

The fourth place belongs to the Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Zhang Wangxing smiled with confidence at the corner of his mouth, “Let me see what the fourth bronze artifact would be?”

He relied on the Blood and Flesh Transformation Scripture, not engaging in normal combat but utilized the advantage of his strange and changeable body to directly bind the bronze artifact.

This just happened to restrain the performance of Mysterious Armor.

After all, the Mysterious Armor’s combat style in the previous rounds was mostly close combat.

Only by the sixth item and thereafter would the Mysterious Armor display spell-like offensives.

Zhang Wangxing fully utilized his strengths, cleverly taking advantage three times in a row, greatly boosting his confidence.

“I can restrain the first five Mysterious Armors. The real challenge is the sixth one!” he was full of ambition.

Zhang Wangxing also knew some intelligence related to the Nine-layered Profound Armor in the Xingyun Trial.

He set his strategy to quickly refine the first five Mysterious Armors, thereby causing his own strength to soar and then go all out against the sixth Mysterious Armor.

Everything from his participation in the Xingyun Trial developed according to his plan.

Now it was the fourth Mysterious Armor’s turn.

A huge bronze wolf fang stick appeared before Zhang Wangxing’s eyes.

“So rough…” Zhang Wangxing’s eyes twitched slightly, showing a hint of difficulty.

The bronze wolf fang stick sensed Zhang Wangxing and slowly pressed toward him.

Zhang Wangxing gritted his teeth, standing out bravely, with his chest bare: “Come, hit me!”

In the next moment, the bronze wolf fang stick struck forcefully on Zhang Wangxing’s body.

Blood spilled everywhere, flesh distorted rapidly like mud, attempting to cover the wolf fang stick.

The wolf fang stick abruptly drew back, taking along countless fragments of shredded flesh.

The intense pain made Zhang Wangxing grimace, sweating in agony.

He persisted, spreading his arms wide, laying his body over the wolf fang stick.

“Fuse with me!” Zhang Wangxing shouted.

The wolf fang stick naturally refused, constantly pounding, slashing, and attacking, creating a series of severe injuries to Zhang Wangxing!

“I…”

“You…”

“So…the wolf fang stick also counters me!”

Zhang Wangxing writhed in pain, hissing as he took deep breaths, he could only continue to endure.

Below Zhang Wangxing, in the fifth place, was not Ban Ji but the Rust Disaster Craftsman.

Bronze knives, swords, etc., circulated around him, every piece of Mysterious Armor’s surface showed signs of rust.

The Hao-surnamed cultivator subconsciously frowned when inspecting the Rust Disaster Craftsman’s condition.

He was inherently disgusted by the other party. In fact, this wasn’t solely his prejudice, almost all cultivators in the Xuan Armor Cave disliked the Rust Disaster Craftsman.

“This person has low-level talent, capable of rusting external objects.”

“The array within the cave fails to confine the talent’s performance, allowing him to take a shortcut—greatly reducing the difficulty of subduing bronze artifacts through rust.

“Hence, he ranked among the top.”

The Xingyun Trial for the Nine-layered Profound Armor aimed to popularize the Mysterious Armor, to foster numerous outstanding cultivators and forge close ties with the Xuan Armor Cave.

However, the Rust Disaster Craftsman’s corrosion of the Mysterious Armor deviated from the intention of the cave’s hosting, so many harbored concealed resentment towards him.

The sixth place finally fell to Ban Ji.

The cultivator Hao noticed Ban Ji wielding a wolf fang stick, chain hammer, occasionally using a flying knife, and was engaged in combat with double section stick.

He took a few glances and couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Ban Ji uses these weapons, obviously carrying traces of blade techniques and sword moves.”

“I can somewhat understand now.”

“Why was I asked to manipulate the arrangements behind the scenes, giving him bronze swords and knives.”

The cultivator Hao took another look back, revealing a peculiar expression.
