Through the puppet's eyes, Lin Tong, who was thousands of miles away in seclusion, saw Chu Xingyu's handsome face.
"Chu Xingyu, it's really you!"
The expression in his eyes darkened, and he spat out a few words while gnashing his teeth.
The expression on the puppet's face that appeared on the arena stage of Sunset Clouds Palace was exactly the same as Lin Tong's expression when he was in closed-door seclusion.
Ever since the masked youth had met someone from his clan, Lin Tong had already set his sights on him.
Even though the youth was wearing a mask, his every move exuded a domineering aura. It was very similar to that arrogant son of his back then in Lu Ming City.
However, the Sunset Clouds Manor and Lu Ming City were thousands of miles apart.
Chu Xingyu would not appear here.
But he never would have thought that this masked youth would be the Chu Xingyu that he wished to kill even in his dreams.
On the stage, the Puppet Lin Tong stared at Chu Xingyu, his eyes shining with a sinister light.
This weak ant had given him a lot of trouble.
Half a year ago, he promised Lin Huang that he would go back to Lu Ming City and kill Chu Xingyu to avenge his youngest son, Lin Sanjiu.
However, not only did he fail to kill Chu Xingyu, he even managed to kill Lin Huang's other son.
Chu Xingyu had also successfully entered the Illusory Night Academy.
He was infuriated in Lu Ming City. With the support of the Illusory Night Academy, not only could he not deal with Chu Xingyu, he could not even do anything to the Chu Family members.
One could imagine the rage within.
It was all for the sake of avenging and repaying Lin Huang.
He could only fight Chu Xingyu, and one year later, during the four great academies' primeval stone competition, he would have a decisive battle.
For the avenged Lin Tong, a year was simply too long.
He, Lin Tong, had lived a life of smooth sailing. After the great setback at Lu Ming City, he was so frustrated that even his heart of martial dao had a new problem.
During this half a year, his cultivation had risen slowly.
It was precisely because of this brat that he couldn't even break into the Martial realm after training for one month.
However, today, he was truly lucky to have met him at the Sunset Clouds Manor.
Now that he had settled the matter, the knot in his heart would be lifted within the next half a year. His cultivation base would definitely skyrocket once again.
After killing this boy, he would be able to reclaim the peak of his strength and regain his arrogant heart of martial arts.
Lin Tong suddenly felt a tinge of regret. If he had known that he would meet him here, he would have given up his chance to close up and come here to kill him.
"In order to deal with this ant, I have really made a big fuss over nothing!"
Soon after, Lin Tong, who was still deep in his thoughts, shook his head. He blew away all the emotions in his mind and laughed at himself.
He had never been so eager to fight against an opponent.
Even in the daily competitions of Feng Tong Academy, when he met students at the Martial Dao Realm, he had never been so anxious.
Did he really think that this brat was the strongest?
He really wanted to kill Chu Xingyu, but he had neglected the gap between the two of them.
With Lin Tong's strength, he could already break through to the Martial Dao Realm.
A Martial Dao Realm expert was so concerned about an ant of the Martial Dao Realm.
This was like a powerful elephant, and it cared about a small ant.
If this were to spread out, it would be somewhat laughable.
Although his puppet was only at the fourth level of the Martial Ancestor Realm, it could not use its Martial Spirit.
He had everything he needed.
It could even be said that with the increase in the beast bones and the demon skin, some of the fighting abilities even faintly surpassed his own, who was in the fourth level of the Martial realm, back then.
Using the body of a puppet was more than enough to deal with this piece of trash who should have died half a year ago.
"Trash, even though I haven't come to the Sunset Clouds Manor, I will definitely kill you with my puppet body."
"Now that I've killed you here, after half a year of the four great academy's primeval stone competition, I, who entered the inner courtyard, have an extraordinary identity."
"At that time, it would be more than enough to annihilate the clan you're protected by an outer court elder."
Puppet Lin Tong's strange face revealed a strange expression that was like a smile yet not. It seemed as if he was crying, but also crying.
Half a year ago, he had wanted to destroy a small clan in a city of the fifth rank.
But with the protection of the Illusory Night Academy's Principal, Old Li Dingfeng, his scheme had not worked.
After the four great academies had battled, he would be able to become a student of the inner courtyard.
The students of the inner court had high statuses, and they even surpassed the ordinary elders of the outer court.
At that time, if he wanted to destroy the Chu Clan, if Li Dingfeng was blind and dared to stop him, he would kill him too. He didn't even need to explain.
Hearing that Lin Tong was bringing up the matter of annihilating his own people, Chu Xingyu's eyes became as cold as iron.
"Lin Tong, even though I can't kill you personally today, I can still destroy your prestige. That's enough!"
Clang!
He drew out the Lil 'Flame Sword, and within the sword beam, a cold light flashed.
Waves of destructive sword auras enveloped the entire Sunset Manor's Large Competition Field.
"Even if I'm just a golem, do you really think you can kill me?"
Disdain appeared in Lin Tong's eyes.
"If it wasn't for that old man Elder Huan Ye half a year ago, you would have been killed by me."
After he finished speaking, his aura shot up to the sky.
Crack!
The sound of beans popping in a pot rang out.
Puppet Lin Tong's huge cloak was instantly shattered by the abundant energy surrounding his body.
Roar!
The cloak exploded.
Lin Tong's entire body was that of an ape, and the armor that resembled the bronze armor of an ancient general was wrapped around his neck.
The iciness on the icy-cold armor was bone-piercing.
A layer of light green light surrounded them.
"Rise!"
After the puppet shouted, its body doubled in size.
At this moment, he was almost four meters tall, and in a radius of ten meters, he was incomparably huge.
In front of him, Chu Xingyu was like a child.
"..."
In the audience, all of the martial artists looked at the two, their eyes full of confusion.
Neither of them understood the conversation between the two of them.
Did there seem to be any enmity between the two?
However, when Lin Tong's figure soared, a fiery passion could be seen within their eyes.
They had severely underestimated Chu Xingyu from the start.
No matter what kind of opponent Chu Xingyu was facing, he would still kill her with a single sword strike.
It was only then that they realized that if Chu Xingyu, who was able to instantly kill Song Yuanlong with his sword energy, was in the previous Large Competition, then he would definitely be the number one competitor in the Grand Competition.
However, he encountered an existence that was comparable to him.
Lin Tong, the puppet that had killed a sixth level Martial Saint with a single slash.
Their cultivations were both at the fourth level of the Martial Saint Realm and they were both able to kill an existence at the sixth level of the Martial Saint Realm with a single move that surpassed their cultivation levels.
It was unknown what a spectacular sight it would be when the two of them fought.
"..."
"A high-grade bronze golem."
Sunset Clouds' pupils suddenly contracted.
The puppets were crafted from beast bones, beast skins, and rare treasures by a refiner.
The strength displayed by puppets was directly proportional to the ability of the material and refiner. Puppets were originally very rare, and most of them were of the low-grade bronze rank.
And this puppet that could replace Lin Tong's original body was actually a Bronze-ranked one.
Mu Yun Kuang had been very familiar with the situation and was very confident in Chu Xingyu's abilities.
However, when he discovered that Lin Tong was a Bronze-ranked Puppet …
For the first time, there was an obvious change in his expression.
Would Chu Xingyu be able to withstand the puppets' attacks?
Everyone's gaze was cast onto the arena.
