Chapter 1062: The Seventy-Two Earth Fiends

The puppet was tall, with shoulders twice the width of its body, and its whole body exuded the hard luster of rock, as if a mountain had been controlled and crawled out of the ground. On its shoulder, the words "Mountain-Carrying" were written sloppily in black ink.

The massive puppet crashed down from the air, its terrifying power causing half of its body to sink into the earth. Amidst the flying dust, Huai Mang's figure slid lightly backward for nearly a hundred meters before stumbling to the ground.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough..."

Even just the aftermath made Huai Mang feel extremely uncomfortable. As he coughed in a low voice, he seemed to realize something and jumped to the side with all his might!

*Bang, bang, bang—!!*

Almost at the same time, more than a dozen sharp rock spikes erupted from the ground, piercing directly through Huai Mang's original position!

Reaction was one thing, but even if Huai Mang knew all the abilities of the "Mountain-Carrying" puppet, under absolute strength suppression, he still found it difficult to escape. Huai Mang in mid-air felt a strong wind pressure sweep over him. The rock giant had already raised its right hand, blocking the sky above him like a dark cloud, and slammed it down!

"You're facing an Arbitrator Proxy alone? Huai Mang, have you gone crazy?!"

Several figures flew in from behind him!

Tu Tian's voice was like thunder. The next moment, a burning flag like a fiery meteor was thrown out with all his might, and raging flames soared into the sky.

Immediately after, a slender figure stepped on the wind, spinning above the flames.

Pu Xiacan frowned as she looked at the giant shadow slowly raising its fist, and obscure, mysterious language spilled from the tip of her tongue... A hurricane swept from the void, magnifying the already surging flames several times. They wrapped around Tu Tian's flag, like a spear of fire piercing the sky.

*Boom—!!*

The flag collided with the giant's arm, making a deafening loud noise, and visible shockwaves swept across the sky.

Huai Mang, who was closest to the explosion point, felt the world suddenly brighten. Then, flying petals suddenly scattered in the void, and a palm suddenly rested on his shoulder, dragging his body to move backward violently...

In the blink of an eye, he had moved out hundreds of meters.

"You really have guts," the assassin Cui Ran said helplessly. "Even if he used to be your brother, he's still Tier 8... Now, he won't hold back against you."

Huai Mang smiled bitterly. "How did you guys come?"

"This guy is heading straight for the people, so we definitely can't ignore it."

Li Shengmen floated over slowly from behind, his eyes staring straight at the scattered embers in the distance, his expression somewhat grave. "However... this thing is really quite tricky."

Tu Tian and Pu Xiacan's combined full-force attack failed to completely block the "Mountain-Carrying" puppet's attack, only barely blasting off half of its fist. The surging smoke and dust dissipated in the air, and the tall body remained as steady as a rock.

"That is [Mountain-Carrying] from my brother's 'Seventy-Two Earth Fiends.' Its strength is very high, and its elemental resistance is extremely high..." Huai Mang shook his head. "It's very difficult for us to win against it as we are now."

"Seventy-Two Earth Fiends?"

Pu Xiacan was stunned. She glanced at the other boxes floating behind Tian Huai, with a look of seeing a ghost. "You mean, puppets as strong as this stone monster... your brother has seventy-one more???"

"...Yes."

The people of the Tongtian Star position turned ashen.

"No need to worry about those puppets," a voice suddenly sounded from behind. "Just try your best to contain Tian Huai's main body and create an opportunity for me."

Several people were slightly taken aback and turned to look at the same time. They saw a familiar bright red opera robe standing in the shadows of the ruins, quietly staring at Tian Huai, who was among the many boxes, like a ghost.

Seeing Chen Ling, everyone was shocked!

"It's you??"

Although Chen Ling had caused them no shortage of trouble when they were in the Tian Shu Realm, if it weren't for Chen Ling, they would have been killed by Kong Wang... In a sense, Chen Ling was their savior.

Tu Tian's expression was the ugliest, but he knew now was not the time to settle scores with Chen Ling, so he said in a deep voice:

"Are you sure you can deal with an Arbitrator Proxy?"

"I am," Chen Ling nodded slightly. "But I need an opportunity... an opportunity to get close to his main body."

*Thud—!!*

The Mountain-Carrying puppet's palm merged into the earth, and hideous cracks like an underground abyss that swallowed everything spread rapidly toward Tu Tian and the others.

Tu Tian and the others had no choice now but to look at each other and nod heavily:

"In that case, we'll trust you once... Scatter!"

Several people scattered in different directions without hesitation, dodging the Mountain-Carrying puppet while circling toward the direction of Tian Huai's main body.

Except for one person.

"Chen Ling..." Huai Mang stood in place, hesitating. "Are you going to kill my brother?"

"Of course not, I don't have that ability yet," Chen Ling shook his head. "I want to make him fall into confusion and recover his memories."

Huai Mang's eyes lit up.

He took a deep breath, as if he had made some kind of decision, and lowered his voice in Chen Ling's ear: "Since that's the case, I'll tell you a secret about my brother, but you must never tell anyone else..."

Chen Ling listened to Huai Mang's words, his brows raising slightly.

……

*Whoosh—whoosh...*

With the city-wide coverage of the [Evolutionary Grasp], two more "lucky" Twilight Society members were bound, hung near the battlefield like prey on a spider web. However, Tian Huai had no time to deal with them right now; his attention was entirely on these young people who didn't know whether they were living or dying.

"Troublesome..." Tian Huai didn't want to waste time. He raised his fingertips again, and two more void boxes were uncovered.

As the lids opened, two palm-sized puppets swelled in the wind, and within half a second, they turned into two giant puppets on the same scale as "Mountain-Carrying." One was engraved with flame patterns, and the other carried a purple long knife and had a slender build.

[Fire-Sitting], [Demon-Slaying].

The addition of the two puppets made the already difficult situation for Tu Tian and the others even worse. Originally, they could still deal with [Mountain-Carrying] while trying to find an opportunity to get close to Tian Huai, but now their path was completely blocked...

The two puppets, with flames that seemed to melt everything and sword intent that cut through everything, spread rapidly in the air!

"It seems it's our turn to appear..."

Sun Bumian loosened his neck and wrists. Behind his small round sunglasses, a pair of eyes nested with rings was staring at [Fire-Sitting]. As he spoke calmly, strands of colorful flames ignited from his temples.

He glanced at the silent Jiang Xiaohua from the corner of his eye, his eyes narrowing.

"Leave the one with the knife to you?"

Jiang Xiaohua spoke dully, "...But I can't hold it for too long."

"Don't pretend. Just now in the trial court, you broke free much more easily than I did... Although I don't know what secret you have, now is not the time to hide your skills."

"...Hmm."
