Just as the battle was raging, a figure in cyan rushed in from afar like a shooting star.
Upon closer inspection, the newcomer turned out to be the same man in green robes who had been ambushed and sent flying by several puppets earlier.
Although his body was covered in bloodstains, the resolute light in his eyes was stronger than ever before.
With a flash, he rushed into the battle like a ghost, and the originally dull immortal sword in his hand suddenly burst into a dazzling light.
Immediately afterwards, he muttered incantations and unleashed a powerful sword technique.
As he moved his arms, streaks of incredibly sharp sword light shot out.
With each sword strike, swathes of puppets were easily slain, their limbs and severed bodies flying everywhere.
The woman in the long dress was completely focused on controlling the large bird beneath her, making it coordinate with the rhythm of the man in the green robe's attacks, sometimes swooping down and tearing the puppet apart with its claws.
Sometimes it flaps its wings and flies high, avoiding the puppets' attacks.
The two humans and the bird worked closely together, back to back, fighting bravely against the enemy. Gradually, the originally dense puppet army began to thin out.
Just as victory seemed within reach, a muffled, loud noise suddenly came from behind the puppet horde.
The two looked up in astonishment and saw a giant puppet, tens of feet tall, slowly rising up.
The enormous puppet stood there like a small mountain, radiating a terrifying and chilling aura.
The man in the green robe and the woman in the long dress exchanged a glance, both seeing no sign of backing down in each other's eyes.
They knew that the giant puppet in front of them must be extremely powerful, but the two were of one mind and were determined to defeat this final enemy completely, even if it meant giving it their all and exhausting their last bit of strength!
The man in the green robe moved like lightning, charging towards the enormous, awe-inspiring puppet.
His eyes were wide open, his teeth clenched, and he poured the vast and boundless divine power within him into the immortal sword he gripped tightly in his hand.
In an instant, the immortal sword trembled violently, emitting a series of deep and powerful humming sounds, as if it could sense its master's surging fighting spirit.
Immediately afterwards, the man in the green robe exerted force with both feet, and his whole body leaped high into the air like an arrow released from a bow.
At the same time, he unleashed a sword technique of unparalleled power.
With a flick of his arm, a dazzling sword light shot out instantly, like a roaring dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it swept towards the giant puppet.
However, despite the fierce attack, the giant puppet stood firmly in place, slowly raising an enormous arm, which stood in front of it like an indestructible mountain.
With a deafening roar, countless dazzling sparks erupted from the point of impact, and a powerful shockwave spread outwards from the point of collision.
Shocked by the force of the impact, the man in the green robe was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
Just then, the woman in the long dress reacted quickly. With a soft shout, she urged the majestic bird beneath her to flap its wings and take flight, transforming into a bolt of lightning as it sped toward the man.
In the blink of an eye, the large bird flew to the man's side and caught him steadily.
After settling the man in the blue robe, the woman in the long dress did not pause for a moment. Her jade-like hands flew, her ten fingers nimbly forming mysterious and intricate hand seals. At the same time, her cherry lips parted slightly, and she chanted an obscure and difficult-to-understand ancient incantation.
As the incantation rang out, a dazzling golden light suddenly emanated from the already imposing bird, making it appear even more sacred and majestic.
Then, the large bird carrying the woman in the long dress swooped down towards the giant puppet like a burning meteor.
As she approached the puppet, the woman shouted, "Break!"
Before the words were finished, the giant bird opened its beak and suddenly spewed out a ball of blazing flames. The flames were so intense that they seemed capable of burning everything in the world, and they swept straight toward the giant puppet.
In the blink of an eye, the giant puppet was engulfed by the surging sea of fire.
In an instant, flames soared into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and the puppet charged left and right in the sea of fire, but it could not break free from the flames' hold. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the man in the green robe quickly adjusted his position.
He took a deep breath, circulated his divine power, and leaped into the air once more.
This time, he skillfully avoided the giant puppet's frontal attack and, like a ghost, circled around to the puppet's back.
Once he saw the right opportunity, he didn't hesitate to plunge the immortal sword in his hand into the puppet's joint.
With a sharp "crack," the puppet's joints were severely damaged, and its movements immediately became sluggish.
Seizing the opportunity, the two joined forces to attack. The woman directed the large bird to peck through the core of the puppet with its sharp beak, while the man in the green robe followed up with a few more sword strikes.
With a violent tremor, the giant puppet collapsed.
The colossal puppet, as large as a giant beast, crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
The man in the green robe and the woman in the long dress exchanged a glance and then simultaneously revealed a relieved smile.
Prior to this, they had been on high alert, not daring to relax for even a moment.
After all, facing such a powerful enemy, a slight mistake could cost them their lives.
At this moment, looking at the lifeless giant puppet in front of them, the huge weight that had been hanging in their hearts finally lifted.
Although the fierce battle had exhausted a great deal of divine power from both of them, they did not show the slightest regret on their faces.
On the contrary, they could see an indescribable sense of satisfaction in each other's eyes.
Through this life-or-death struggle, they not only successfully defeated their formidable enemy, but also gained many valuable experiences and lessons.
After this fierce battle, they realized their own shortcomings—a lack of sufficient practical experience.
Although he possesses an astonishingly powerful cultivation level, his actual combat strength is far from matching it.
This huge gap between cultivation level and combat power is like a treasure chest full of riches. Although it looks magnificent, without the key to open it, the wealth inside is just a mirage.
However, it was this fierce battle that allowed them to clearly see where the "key" was.
From now on, they will redouble their efforts in training and constantly engage in various real combat situations to make up for their shortcomings and truly unleash their full potential.
Given time, they will surely be able to handle similar crises with ease and confidence.
By this time, Qin Feng had already killed all the puppets.
Qin Feng looked at the man in the green robe and the woman in the long dress with some satisfaction. Both of them were very strong, but unfortunately they lacked practical combat experience.
After this battle, both of them will surely improve significantly.
Perhaps, if they encounter a formidable enemy in the near future, these two will not become mere puppets who drag him down.
