Creak!

As time passed, the sounds became clearer and clearer. Under Cang Yun and Zhou Xian'er's breathless gazes, a warrior in golden armour with a war blade slowly ran out from the corner.

"This is?"

Cang Yun stared at the golden-armored warrior and his eyes narrowed. The clothes of the person in front of him were a bit too strange. The golden armor was wrapped tightly around his body. Even his hands were wearing a pair of golden gloves that made it hard to see his appearance.

However, what made Cang Yun even more surprised was that the other party's eyes were actually glowing with a scarlet light. He could not detect any emotion within them. They were empty and lifeless as they emitted a strange aura.

"This guy is so weird." Zhou Xian'er noticed that something was wrong and said in a low voice.

Weng! *

However, just as the two of them were puzzled, the golden-armored warrior suddenly raised his battle blade. Immediately, he stomped heavily on the green rock and transformed into a golden ray of light that rushed over.

A sharp and terrifying blade wind howled through the passageway. The saber carried a surging source energy like flame as it ruthlessly slashed down towards the top of Cang Yun's head.

"Be careful!"

This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard, and Zhou Xian'er let out a panicked cry. This was because from the golden armored warrior's surging aura, it could be seen that this strange fellow's strength was not weak at all.

He did not expect that this person would pull out his blade without saying a word. However, at this critical moment, although he was extremely shocked, his vigilance had not weakened even in a place like this.

Xiao Yan clenched his hand and a short sword suddenly appeared within it. The Origin Energy within his body surged out in all directions at this moment.

BOOM!

When the swords and sabers collided, the two Origin Energies with red and black colors madly bit at each other like spirit snakes. An ear-piercing explosion rang out and the two of them were forced a few steps back by the strong rebound.

"The second realm!" After stabilizing his body and feeling the numbness that was faintly transmitted from his arm, Cang Yun parted his mouth and muttered.

The opponent's strength was slightly higher, thus this seemingly evenly matched blow actually caused Cang Yun to suffer a small loss.

Right at this moment, a sharp sword light shot out from his side. Cang Yun turned to look, only to see Zhou Xian'er's beautiful figure arcing through the air, the long sword in her hand was aimed at the golden armored warrior.

"Bang, bang, bang!" When Zhou Xian'er's attack landed, the golden armored warrior reacted as well, hastily raising her blade to block. His seemingly stiff arm was not slow, in a flash, she waved five or six blade images, cutting off most of Zhou Xian'er's attack. Only one or two sword lights slashed across his arm, but were blocked by the golden armor, leaving behind only a pale white sword mark.

Zhou Xian'er's beautiful eyes became serious, she was obviously not as strong as the defense of the golden armor, but after a moment of surprise, a surge of energy surged out from her body and quickly gathered on the sword, and then, as though she did not believe what was happening, she held the sword and pierced towards the golden armor warrior again.

Zhou Xian`er's somewhat furious sword attack had practically exploded all the strength in her body. As a result, her speed had reached its peak. The golden armored warrior didn't even have time to react before the tip of the sword, which was accompanied by surging Spiritual Energy, ruthlessly stabbed at his chest.

An enormous Origin Power surged out from the golden armor like a clap of thunder. Under that powerful force, the golden armored warrior's body was thrown back like a sandbag before heavily crashing into the ground. Where his body landed, cracks would appear on the hard limestone.

Dust flew as Cang Yun's gaze swept across the somewhat miserable golden figure on the ground. After which, it was fixed on the graceful figure that was not far away. He involuntarily clicked his tongue: "To be able to open the third layer of the Secret Treasure at such a young age, this girl's talent is truly not weak."

Furthermore, Cang Yun could also tell that the Origin Energy in Zhou Xian'er's body was not ordinary. That degree of sharpness was not something that ordinary Origin Energy could possess. Evidently, her special physique was also extraordinary.

However, before that smile could fully bloom on her face, an unexpected sound attracted their attention. In the next instant, Zhou Xian`er's smile froze on her face.

"This fellow is actually fine?"

At the place where the dust had settled, a golden figure appeared before their eyes. Upon seeing this scene, Zhou Xian'er was stunned for a moment before she let out a cry of disbelief.

Not to mention the fact that it was only the second stage of the Hidden Realm, even the third stage warriors would not have been able to withstand it easily. However, in such a short period of time, the gold-armored warrior had actually stood up, and from his appearance, besides the slight burn on his chest armour, his aura had not been affected at all, as if he had not been injured at all.

However, he immediately discovered that something was amiss. This was because there was still no sign of life within the empty eyes of the golden armored warrior. Instead, there was only a deathly still scarlet glow.

"Could this guy be...?" At this moment, a thought flashed through Cang Yun's mind. He had a guess. When the golden-armored warrior charged towards him again with a stiff pace, this guess became a definite answer.

The next moment, under Zhou Xian'er's questioning gaze, Cang Yun frowned, "She should be the legendary Puppet Warrior."

Puppet warriors?

Shock flashed through Zhou Xian`er's beautiful eyes, but the golden-armored warrior had already rushed over. The two of them didn't have any time to think and looked at each other. Cang Yun's eyes narrowed: "Deal with him first. Attack!"

After Cang Yun finished his last word, he quickly stepped forward. The Origin Energy in his body surged, and like an arrow that had left a bow, it shot towards the golden-armored warrior.

"Since it is just a lifeless puppet, there is no need for me to show any mercy." Zhou Xian'er's eyes became serious and a determined look flashed across her face. Immediately, her boundless Origin Energy surged out again as she followed Cang Yun into the battlefield.
