“Your idea is good, but it’s just a pipe dream.”
“Boy, I don’t care whether you agree or not. Once I cripple you, I’ll search your memory,” Helena sneered.
“Old witch, do you think you can leave here alive?” Leo pointed his Divine Dragon Sword at Helena.
In a flash, Leo moved with incredible speed, swinging his Divine Dragon Sword, sending a terrifying sword light slashing down at Helena.
“Let me experience your Dao Laws,” Helena laughed sinisterly, standing her ground as the sword light descended.
Just as the sword light was about to strike Helena, she waved her sleeve, and a two-meter-tall black shadow appeared in front of her.
Facing the terrifying sword light, the black shadow punched out.
Boom!
The sword light shattered instantly. Leo, holding the Divine Dragon Sword, retreated two steps in mid-air before stabilizing himself.
The tall black shadow also sank slightly.
When Leo looked at the black shadow again, his eyes narrowed.
The once-illusory black shadow had solidified, its skin like bronze, appearing incredibly tough.
Its eyes were black with a hint of red, looking quite terrifying.
“This is… a Corpse Puppet!” Leo’s face showed horror. “A Bronze Corpse Puppet, did you use a living person to refine it?”
“You know quite a lot. Indeed, this is a Bronze Corpse Puppet. Four years ago, I encountered a Martial Cultivator who reached the Warrior Venerable realm through physical training.”
“I captured him and spent forty-nine days refining his body into this Bronze Corpse Puppet in my corpse furnace.”
Helena’s words sent chills down Serene and the others’ spines.
Even Elder Redmond, who had lost an arm to Leo and was hiding behind Helena, changed his expression.
“It’s a pity that this Bronze Corpse Puppet isn’t perfect. It seems that the physique of a Warrior Venerable realm Martial Cultivator was still lacking,” Helena added with dissatisfaction.
“Old witch, you have a space storage treasure on you, don’t you?”
The Bronze Corpse Puppet was suddenly released by Helena, prompting Leo’s question.
“Boy, you know quite a lot. It seems your mind holds things I want to know. I’m very interested in you.”
“Kill him!” Elder Helena screeched, pointing at Leo.
The Bronze Corpse Puppet locked its gaze on Leo and charged at him.
Initially, Leo wanted to use the Divine Dragon Sword to deal with the Bronze Corpse Puppet but quickly had a new idea-to temper his own body using the Bronze Corpse Puppet.
He put away the Divine Dragon Sword and activated the Nine Heavens Star Chart.
The Bronze Corpse Puppet’s massive fist aimed straight at Leo’s face.
Leo clenched his right fist and met the Bronze Corpse Puppet’s huge bronze fist head-on.
The two powerful fists collided in mid-air with a dull thud, causing ripples of force in the air.
Under the immense force, Leo retreated several steps in mid-air.
The Bronze Corpse Puppet only took one step back.
Leo’s mouth twitched as he felt some pain on his right fist.
With rising battle intent, Leo shouted and pushed the Nine Heavens Star Chart to its limit.
In the next moment, Leo and the Bronze Corpse Puppet clashed again.
Dull thuds of physical collisions echoed in the sky.
The Bronze Corpse Puppet did not dodge or defend against Leo’s attacks but fought back fiercely.
The Bronze Corpse Puppet felt no pain; it was a killing machine that only attacked without defending.
After several exchanges, even with Leo using the Mysterious Heaven Body Technique, he took a few punches to the chest, causing his blood to churn.
“Come on!” Leo roared.
In the sky, the dull explosions continued unabated.
Such intense physical combat left Serene and the others stunned.
“Leo’s physical strength and resilience are truly formidable,” Serene thought to herself.
Soon, Elder Helena noticed something was wrong.
“This brat is using the Bronze Corpse Puppet to temper himself!” Helena’s eyes darkened.
The battle lasted for more than a quarter of an hour before the dull collision sounds began to subside.
Even though the Bronze Corpse Puppet’s body was as tough as iron, Leo’s punches had created several dents in it.
After another fierce collision, both Leo and the Bronze Corpse Puppet retreated more than ten steps in mid-air before separating.
“That was satisfying!” Leo laughed heartily.
If one looked closely, they would see blood on Leo’s fists.
Clearly, Leo’s fists were injured, but under the healing power of his spiritual energy, the wounds were rapidly healing.
After this bout of combat, Leo clearly felt an increase in his physical strength and coordination.
With his training goal achieved, it was time to deal with the Bronze Corpse Puppet.
With a flip of his right hand, two Spirit Fire Talismans appeared in Leo’s hand.
With a flick of his right hand, he sent the two Spirit Fire Talismans flying towards the Bronze Corpse Puppet.
The Spirit Fire Talismans exploded in front of the Bronze Corpse Puppet, enveloping it in pale blue flames that quickly covered its body.
“You brat! You’re courting death!” Helena knew what Leo intended and was furious. She waved her sleeve, sending a gust of sinister wind to extinguish the flames on the Bronze Corpse Puppet.
Although the pale blue flames were extinguished, the bronze skin of the Bronze Corpse Puppet had been charred black.
The Bronze Corpse Puppet felt no pain from the burning and charged at Leo again.
Leo’s eyes turned cold as he activated an Ice Spirit Talisman.
The power of ice spread out, enveloping the Bronze Corpse Puppet.
A layer of ice began to form on the surface of the Bronze Corpse Puppet’s body, slowing its movements considerably.
Under the ice, the hardness of the Bronze Corpse Puppet’s body decreased slightly.
Seizing the opportunity, Leo let out a cold shout and flashed forward, delivering an explosive punch to the Bronze Corpse Puppet’s head.
Without any suspense, Leo’s punch landed heavily on the Bronze Corpse Puppet’s head.
Boom!
Under the ice, the Bronze Corpse Puppet’s body seemed to become brittle. Leo’s punch directly separated its head from its body.
With its head detached from its body, the Bronze Corpse Puppet could no longer stay aloft. Its head and body fell to the ground together.
“Old witch, your Bronze Corpse Puppet is done for. Now it’s your turn to die,” Leo said coldly to Helena with a sneer.
“Boy, I will make you wish you were dead!”
Seeing her painstakingly refined Bronze Corpse Puppet destroyed, Helena was truly enraged.
“Watch my Witchcraft!” Elder Helena raised her black staff and began to wave it around.
A powerful poisonous black gas surged from the black staff and swept towards Leo in mid-air.
If Leo were still at the upper Spirit General realm, he might have feared this Witchcraft.
But now that he had reached the Spirit Venerable realm, he was not afraid at all.
With a cold snort, Leo quickly formed hand seals with both hands.
A large fireball appeared in front of Leo like a small sun.
With a push of his right hand, the fireball radiated intense heat as it collided with Helena’s Witchcraft.
