BOOM!

In the maze passageway of the third level of the ancient pagoda, three figures constantly crossed each other. Vicious Origin Energy surged through this space, sounding out many muffled and heavy rumbles.

Cang Yun's fists were bare as a deep Origin Energy wrapped around his fists. As he waved them, they transformed into fist images that covered the sky as they headed towards all parts of the Golden-Armored Puppet. Although they did not achieve much effect, they completely entangled the latter.

As for Zhou Xian`er, she was like a patient bird of prey, ready to strike at any time. Every time the golden-armored puppet revealed an opening, she would strike it heavily.

With the tacit understanding between the two, coupled with the fact that the puppet did not have any intelligence, the Golden Armor Puppet did not even have the strength to fight back.

Instead, they became even more solemn and helpless because even after fighting for so long, they were still unable to break through the defense of the golden armor. Naturally, it did not cause any substantial harm to the unconscious puppet inside.

BOOM!

In the next moment, as Zhou Xian`er gathered her energy and pushed the golden-armored Puppet back once again, Cang Yun also retreated. He said to Zhou Xian`er, "Release your trump card. Otherwise, there's no point in continuing to fight like this."

Zhou Xian`er nodded. After fighting for so long, her arms were still sore and numb, and she had the urge to tear that lump of iron into pieces.

"I'll go first."

Thus, after she said those words that were somewhat filled with anger, her graceful figure flew out under Cang Yun's astonished gaze.

In that instant, an extremely resplendent Origin Power appeared in the depths of Cang Yun's eyes. Sensing the frightening fluctuations within, Cang Yun revealed a smile, "High-grade Spirit Level Origin Skill coupled with this girl's cultivation base at the third layer, it should be able to heavily injure that fellow, right?"

He muttered softly. In the next moment, Cang Yun also stepped forward and formed a strange seal with his fingers. He stared at the lifeless golden-armored puppet and continued speaking.

"After that heavy injury, let me add a bit more strength and completely shatter your turtle shell!"

The Fiery Solar Sword Lotus!

At this time, the energy fluctuations around Zhou Xian`er's body had already reached its peak. The fiery red energy on the tip of the sword had condensed into a flaming lotus flower, and it brought with it an incomparably explosive aura. It suddenly broke through the air and landed ruthlessly on the head of the golden-armored puppet with lightning speed.

BOOM!

In that instant, flames overflowed into the heavens. The moment the red sword lotus touched the golden armor, it suddenly exploded. A berserk aura spread out in all directions. The entire maze seemed to tremble slightly at this moment.

But that was not the end because in the instant the sword lotus exploded, a deep Origin power seal shot down from the head of the Golden-Armored Puppet. At the end, it passed through the flames that filled the sky and imprinted itself on the golden-coloured head.

Two terrifying attacks simultaneously landed on the head of the golden-armored puppet. In the face of such a fierce attack, the originally seemingly indestructible golden armor was finally unable to withstand the impact, and with a 'kacha' sound, it shattered. Soon after, the enormous force that had yet to dissipate entered the head through the crack, before it exploded with a 'bang'.

"Phew, it has finally been settled." Zhou Xian'er smiled as though a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. Her body moved, returning back to Cang Yun's side.

"This legendary thing is indeed a bit difficult to deal with." Cang Yun nodded his head and looked at the broken golden corpse in front of him. There was a strange light in his eyes.

This was the first time he had seen this puppet warrior, and according to his understanding, this creature had already disappeared long ago. Furthermore, its manufacturing methods had also become lost in the flow of time as time passed.

"According to the ancient records left by our ancestors, this golem was extremely famous at some point in time. However, because the refining method was too harsh, it gradually lost its reputation." Zhou Xian'er said.

"If I did not have such a complicated refining method, I'm afraid that this thing would have become invincible in this world." "Mhm." Cang Yun smiled and nodded. They had already experienced the strength of this Puppet Technique earlier, and knew that it would be difficult for them to be a match for someone of the same cultivation level.

Rumble rumble rumble!

Just as the two of them were talking, a sound similar to a stone door suddenly rang out from within the tunnel. The two of them looked over and saw an extremely hidden stone door on the stone wall at the end of the tunnel slowly open.

"Looks like that's the right path." The two of them looked at each other, and Cang Yun said in surprise. The two paths that originally existed were used to induce people, and the true tunnel was revealed only after they had defeated the guardian puppet.

Compared to offense, defense was the greatest strength. Therefore, if someone wanted to find a way to escape directly, they would fall into a trap. At the same time, with the puppet warrior's super strong defense, it was difficult to kill him with ordinary strength.

"Looks like quite a number of people will be eliminated in this trial." When Zhou Xian'er thought of this question, she opened her mouth and asked.

Among the disciples of the Zhou Family that participated in this trial, a large portion of them were at the second layer of the Secret Treasure Trove. From the looks of the battle just now, if one didn't have any other special methods, it would be very difficult to break through the defense of that puppet warrior.

However, in this regard, Zhou Xian'er did not have much of an emotional reaction, because according to the past trials, those that were eliminated would not have any life-threatening risks. There was a special protective barrier around the clan grounds, and if there was any life-threatening danger, the protective barrier would automatically activate and teleport them out.

Cang Yun nodded his head. This trial was in line with his previous thoughts. The difficulty level had increased by quite a bit, so it was natural to eliminate a few people.

But in the next moment, there was one thing that made him somewhat suspicious. It was that after passing every level, there would be a reward. And after completing the third level for so long, there didn't seem to be any reward appearing.

After musing for a moment, suddenly, Cang Yun seemed to have sensed something and locked his gaze onto the remains of the puppet warrior. After sensing the source energy fluctuation within, Cang Yun's eyes lit up and he quickly walked over.
