As the puppet's head was destroyed, its body instantly ceased functioning and collapsed to the ground, lifeless and inert. The power that once animated it had been abruptly severed.
"The weakness is indeed their heads," Yuan acknowledged, his voice laced with admiration for Xi ili's insightful observation. "But it won't be an easy task. These puppets are strong and fast."
Xi ili followed closely behind Yuan, her agility matching his own. Her Primordial Chaos flas danced and crackled, incinerating any puppets that dared to approach from behind. Her cultivation surpassed Yuan's, granting her greater speed and agility.
The Primordial Chaos Fire held incredible power, capable of consuming anything it touched. However, Xi ili possessed full control over its destructive potential.
If she willed it, the flas would remain harmless, even to those who ca into contact with them. But if she desired destruction, those seemingly benign flas transford into an unstoppable force.
She noticed that five puppets were charging at Yuan from behind while he was fending against the other puppets.
"Dragon Claws," Xi ili muttered, her hands undergoing a dramatic transformation. They morphed into fierce dragon claws, adorned with razor-sharp nails capable of slicing through the toughest tals effortlessly.
With the activation of the "Dragon Claw" technique, Xi ili's speed and agility surged, her movents becoming a blur. She swiftly decapitated five Grandmaster-level puppets in one swift motion, their heads cleanly severed before they even had a chance to react.
Observing the outco of her swift strikes, Xi ili glanced at Yuan, who was simultaneously battling ten puppets. She couldn't help but voice her confusion. "Even though these puppets can fight against a pack of Grandmaster-level cultivators, their speed is considerably slow. It doesn't add up."
Amidst the chaos of battle, Yuan's keen observation caught the discrepancy in the puppets' performance. His voice carried over the clash of tal as he shared his thoughts, "Indeed, their speed is significantly slower than that of a true Grandmaster. It doesn't match their power at all."
"My speculation is that it's due to the passage of ti. After millennia of abandonnt, these puppets have lost the destructive power they once possessed."
Anna, Grace, Lily, and Emma also listened intently, their focus on Yuan's words providing a brief respite from the intensity of the fight. The weight of ti hung heavily in the air, a silent witness to the deterioration of the once formidable puppets.
No one knew how many years had elapsed since this place was abandoned by the cultivators from the Nine Heavens. It was a testant to the relentless march of ti. Even a mountain can't stand against the passage of ti. And these are just re puppets; they can't withstand the power of the passage of ti.
"I also believe the sa, hubby!" Xi ili exclaid while she gripped a puppet's head in her claws and effortlessly crushed it like a soda can. Her display of strength and dominance exemplified the puppet's weakened state.
Yuan's grip on his sword tightened as he prepared to strike. With a swift motion, he charged at the remaining puppets, skillfully evading their attacks with his exceptional agility.
"One Sword One Strike!" With each swing of his sword, he sliced through the air, severing the heads of the closest puppets. The motionless tal bodies collapsed to the ground, defeated by his skilled strikes.

"This... My comprehension of this technique has leveled up!" He exclaid in excitent as he heard the system announcent.
His mastery of the 'One Sword One Strike' sword technique had reached level 4, bringing forth refined and deadly movents. Each swing beca a display of precision, and the ti required to execute the technique reduced significantly.
With his newfound mastery, Yuan effortlessly dismantled the remaining puppets, one after another. His refined movents and deadly precision made the task significantly easier.
He had already destroyed more than 17 puppets, but half of their chanical adversaries still remained.
Anna, Grace, Emma, and Lily watched with a mix of concern and admiration as Yuan and Xi ili continued their relentless assault.
The worry in their eyes stemd from the fact that there were still nurous puppets to be destroyed, and Yuan couldn't rely on his divine rank skill due to the risk of collateral damage underground.
anwhile, Xi ili fought alongside Yuan, her flas dancing and engulfing the puppets. Her primal chaos fla proved to be a devastating force, easily reducing the tallic bodies to ash. Together, their combined strength and skill decimated the remaining puppets.
Despite their progress, the worried expressions on the faces of Anna, Grace, Emma, and Lily remained. They understood the gravity of the situation—the odds were still against them, and the outco remained uncertain.
They couldn't rely on Yuan's divine rank skill, leaving them in a precarious position.
Grace, her voice filled with concern, called out to Yuan, "Darling, be careful! There are still too many puppets left."
"Yes, there are too many of them. Yuan and Xi ili can't fight them alone. Let's go help them." Lily, determined to assist her little brother and Xi ili, swiftly retrieved her sword from her storage ring.
Anna agreed, turning to Grace. "Our daughter is right. They can't handle this alone. We're also at the Spirit Master realm, so we can join the fight." With conviction, she retrieved her sword from her storage ring. Witnessing her determination, Grace followed suit, unsheathing her own sword.
Emma, aware of her lack of sword techniques, observed the unfolding scene. Instead of drawing a sword, she relied on her extraordinary physical strength. She had her own way of contributing to the battle.
"Let's show those soulless puppets who's the boss!" Lily's voice rang out with determination.
Anna, Grace, and Emma nodded in agreent, their eyes gleaming with a shared resolve. Together, the four of them charged towards the remaining puppets.
As they closed in on the puppets, Anna and Grace unleashed their sword technique, the 'Lotus Blossom Sword Dance.' Their bodies moved with agility, effortlessly dodging the puppets' attacks. With swift strikes, they targeted the puppets' heads, obliterating them.
Yuan, observing his wives actions, couldn't help but interject. "Didn't I tell you guys to stay back?"
Anna pouted at her son's remark. "Don't underestimate us. We may not be as strong as you, but we are Spirit Master realm cultivators. We can fight alongside you."
Yuan contemplated their words and realized they were right. They had achieved the Spirit Master realm, and their strength was not to be underestimated.
"Just be careful and try not to get hurt, okay?" said Yuan.
"We can take care of ourselves. You focus on fighting those puppets!" Lily exclaid, and with a swift motion of her sword, she used her technique, 'Frozen Moon Blade,' to slice through the puppet's head effortlessly.
Emma, not one to sit idly, unleashed her imnse physical strength. With a powerful blow from her fist, she shattered the puppet's head, relying on her raw power to crush her adversaries.
Yuan, witnessing the incredible display of strength from his wives, couldn't help but marvel at their growth. He exclaid, his voice filled with awe, "They have beco powerful!"
His eyes scanned the battlefield, taking in the strength and mastery displayed by Anna, Grace, Emma, and Lily. With their newfound abilities, he and Xi ili now possessed a significant advantage.
With Anna, Grace, Emma, and Lily joining the battle, Yuan and Xi ili gained a significant advantage. The combined strength of the six fighters reduced the number of puppets at an astonishing rate. Their relentless assault left the puppets falling one after another.
Yuan continued to slice through the puppets with his sword, his strikes precise and deadly. Each swing brought forth the destruction of another puppet.
Beside him, Xi ili utilized her Flas and Claws, her attacks engulfing the puppets in a sea of fire and tearing through their defenses.
With the strength of all six of them combined, the number of puppets dwindled at an astonishing rate. Their synchronized attacks left no room for the puppets to retaliate.
The battle beca a display of their power and unity as they systematically destroyed the remaining adversaries.
In just a few minutes, only a handful of puppets remained. Their once formidable ranks had been decimated, reduced to re remnants of their forr power.
Yuan's sword sliced through the air one final ti, severing the head of the last puppet. Silence settled over the battlefield as the remaining puppets crumbled to the ground.
Yuan, his chest heaving with exertion, surveyed the scene before him. "Finally, it's over," he declared, his voice laced with a mixture of relief and triumph.
This battle had pushed him further than any previous encounter, even surpassing his fight against the Orc Lord.
In a mont of reflection, Yuan muttered to himself, realizing the untapped potential within him. "If only I were able to use my divine rank skill, the battle would have ended long ago."
Anna approached him, her eyes filled with warmth and understanding. She wrapped her arms around him in a tight embrace. "That's not important now," she reassured him. "What matters is that we won against a force far stronger than our own. We stood united and erged victorious."
The others joined in, their expressions a mix of relief and pride. Grace nodded in agreent. "Indeed, we surpassed our own limits and triumphed together."
