As Quinn’s gaze locked onto him, a sharp glint flashed in Derek’s eyes.
Derek’s figure flickered and he landed on the dueling platform.
“Let me see your puppet,” Derek said, drawing the knife from his back.
It was a deep green knife, etched with intricate runes, the blade thin and emitting a sharp glow.
As soon as Derek drew the knife, a green whirlwind suddenly howled across the dueling platform.
Derek’s form was enveloped in the green whirlwind, then he transformed into a green afterimage, charging towards Quinn.
Facing the rapidly approaching Derek, Quinn, who had remained silent, had a flash of light in his eyes. He grabbed a gray cloth bag at his waist with his right hand.
The bag opened, and a dark shadow shot out from it, quickly enlarging to meet the oncoming Derek.
Clang, clang, clang…!
The sharp sound of metal clashing echoed continuously on the dueling platform.
The spectators quickly focused their eyes on what Quinn had released.
It was a large black spider, its entire body made of some dark metal, gleaming coldly and appearing extremely hard.
Additionally, the spider’s massive body was etched with black runes, and its front four legs ended in black blades.
This type of spider was called the Blade-Legged Demonic Wolf Spider, an insect beast known for its formidable attack and defense. Unexpectedly, Quinn had refined it into a puppet.
Amidst the continuous clash of metal, all of Derek’s attacks were blocked and neutralized by the Blade-Legged Demonic Wolf Spider.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the Blade-Legged Demonic Wolf Spider’s body was controlled by extremely fine threads of spiritual power.
The other end of these threads was connected to Quinn’s fingers.
Quinn’s right hand moved as if dancing, and the Blade-Legged Demonic Wolf Spider moved accordingly. Its sharp black legs slashed towards Derek.
The battle between them was extremely fierce. The hard dueling platform was covered with cracks from their clashing blades.
Clang!
After a collision, Derek tapped his toes on the ground and retreated, putting some distance between himself and the Blade-Legged Demonic Wolf Spider.
A sharp glint flashed in Derek’s eyes as his knife emitted a deep green glow.
With a loud shout, Derek unleashed a deep green blade light towards the Blade-Legged Demonic Wolf Spider!
Clang!
With a crisp metallic sound, the Blade-Legged Demonic Wolf Spider crossed its front legs to block Derek’s attack.
However, under the immense impact, the Blade-Legged Demonic Wolf Spider staggered back several steps.
This was the opportunity Derek had been waiting for. His body split into two green shadows and bypassed the Blade-Legged Demonic Wolf Spider, charging towards Quinn.
The best way to deal with a puppet master was to attack them directly. Once the master was killed, the puppet would naturally be rendered useless.
Quinn’s face darkened. His right hand moved in mid-air, and the Blade-Legged Demonic Wolf Spider turned around, its legs pushing off the ground as it charged towards Derek’s back.
But Derek was too fast, and there was some distance between them. The Blade-Legged Demonic Wolf Spider couldn’t pose a threat to him.
In mid-air, the two green shadows merged into one. Derek’s eyes were sharp, his knife intent soaring as a fierce deep green blade light slashed down towards Quinn.
This scene made the spectators hold their breath for Quinn.
However, the expected outcome did not occur.
The fierce deep green blade light struck a golden figure as tall as an iron tower in front of Quinn.
A ten-meter-tall golden figure had appeared in front of Quinn.
It was this golden figure that blocked the descending deep green blade light.
The spectators’ mouths instinctively opened slightly at the sight of this golden figure.
The towering golden figure standing in front of Quinn was a giant golden ape.
The golden ape radiated golden light. Its tall and burly golden body was etched with golden runes, looking incredibly dazzling.
Clearly, this was also a puppet-a beast puppet.
The fierce deep green blade light only left a dented white mark on the golden ape’s shoulder.
Seeing this sudden appearance of the golden ape puppet, Derek’s face darkened instantly.
In the next moment, under Quinn’s control, the golden ape swung its massive arm and punched towards Derek with mountain-shaking force.
Unable to dodge in time, Derek swung his knife again.
The deep green blade light shattered under the golden fist. Derek’s body flew backward, his toes tapping on the ground several times before he stabilized himself.
Just as Derek regained his footing, the Blade-Legged Demonic Wolf Spider’s leg blades slashed down at him again.
Derek turned to face the Blade-Legged Demonic Wolf Spider, and the crisp sound of clashing blades rang out once more.
While Derek was engaged with the Blade-Legged Demonic Wolf Spider, Quinn’s left hand moved. The golden ape bent its thick legs and leaped up like a small mountain. Its right arm, glowing with golden light, punched down at Derek from above.
Derek’s expression changed. Surrounded by green wind, his body twisted mid-air to avoid the golden ape’s right arm.
The golden ape’s arm smashed into the dueling platform, shattering the stone slabs and creating a large pit.
The Blade-Legged Demonic Wolf Spider attacked again, putting Derek at a disadvantage.
Seeing Derek being besieged by both the golden ape and the Blade-Legged Demonic Wolf Spider, the spectators watched intently without blinking.
Such an intense and exciting battle wasn’t something they could see every day.
Watching Quinn control both puppets with his hands moving in mid-air like playing a piano, Leo couldn’t help but marvel at his puppet mastery skills.
Under the coordinated attacks of the Blade-Legged Demonic Wolf Spider and the golden ape, Derek kept retreating and showed signs of defeat.
After dozens more moves, the golden ape seized an opportunity. Its massive golden hand struck Derek’s body directly.
Derek was sent flying out of the dueling platform and landed heavily on the ground outside.
Lying on the ground, Derek spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale as paper instantly.
“Derek lost!”
Among the spectators, those from Crescent Dynasty were the most jubilant. After all, their prodigies had been defeated in previous duels.
Quinn’s victory undoubtedly boosted Crescent Dynasty’s morale, showing other dynasties that their prodigies were also capable of defeating others’.
“This gentleman wins,” Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign announced from above the alchemy furnace, pointing at Quinn.
Quinn remained calm and respectfully cupped his fist towards Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign.
