546 Puppet, Celestial Device, Punch (2/2)

Zhou Bao doubted that Senior Grand Tutor Hong had been defeated by that punch. The punch had been too easy. Furthermore, Zhou Bao had felt an odd resistance when he delivered the punch. It was as if his punch had landed on an object instead of a human body.

Hence, out of caution, he did not try to catch up.

”Fella, you're not bad!” Indeed, Senior Grand Tutor Hong was the figure that had been retreating. Although he was losing blood, his voice was still strong.

”This cunning guy!” Yu Taixu hissed quietly. Zhou Bao's facial muscles twitched. Indeed, Senior Grand Tutor Hong was a cunning guy. The figure he had just punched was merely a puppet.

The truth was, Senior Grand Tutor Hong had never arrived at the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony. It had been his puppet masquerading as him all along.

It was possibly because of this charade that people suspected that Senior Grand Tutor Hong's cultivation was only at Level Nine and had not yet reached Mysterious Realm.

Abruptly, the atmosphere became strange. In the sky, only the fake Gold Bracelet and the Long-necked Red Jade Bottle remained. Zhou Bao was in a stand-off with the puppets. While the bracelet had taken down a huge number of them, the remaining puppets posed a formidable threat. With his temper, Zhou Bao would have started the fight by now. However, he did not do so. as he could not figure out what Senior Grand Tutor Hong had up his sleeves. If Zhou Bao killed all the puppets, he would have to be wary of the tutor. If he found the chance to kill Yan Yuntian, then all that he had done just now would be in vain. He was reluctant to admit this to himself, but he realised that what he had done just now had not been a wise move.

While it seemed like Zhou Bao was in a stand-off with a large number of puppets, he was really worried about poor Yan Yuntian!

The stand-off continued for a while as if they were appreciating each other. There were no other actions taken. This made Child-endowing Buddha raise his guard.

”I say, are you two being match-made? If you want to fight, then please do it! I'm already done with my popcorn, if you're not gonna do it then I'm going home!” Child-endowing Buddha shouted strangely. While it seemed like he was shouting strangely, he was actually using the secret way of Lotus Flower on the Tongue. It startled Zhou Bao and Senior Grand Tutor Hong felt apologetic.

There were so many people watching. The authority figures from the five biggest sects, as well as the audience from the big sect of Three Western Regions, were all watching. Senior Grand Tutor Hong was a long-standing public figure. He had been famous long before Zhao Bao's great-great-grandfather of the fella existed. While his name was spread around the world, Zhao Bao's great-great-grandmother was still drinking milk!

Right now, the stand-off had lasted too long. They were evenly-matched and he had even suffered a bit. This was indeed embarrassing. If he did not settle this soon, he could forget about the fight with Yu Taixu. He would have lost his pride even if he helped Emperor Yang take the throne!

”This thief is actually quite smart!~” Zhou Bao also noticed the same point. After Child-endowing Buddha shouted, he was extra careful. But soon, he found out that he was being overly cautious.

This was because Senior Grand Tutor Hong had chosen to fight a real fight and not use sneaky tricks in order to prove himself.

Yes, his own strength.

A pair of iron fists emerged from the hollow. It was accompanied by a boundless exploding Qi Power and the belief to destruct everything in sight. It appeared in the hollow and came straight for Zhou Bao.

Fist!

Having felt the coldness and killing intent of the fists, Zhou Bao's gaze focused.

Lord of Heaven!

Yes, Lord of Heaven!

This punch alone had already frozen the space on Turtle Back Mountain. This punch alone had separated Zhou Bao from the space around him. At this moment, Zhou Bao felt like he was an insect trapped in resin. He could not budge at all.

He could only let Hong Taihe and the fist bombard him to death.

”Good timing!” Zhou Bao's body was unable to move. He did not try to escape from the frozen space. He only flashed between the eyebrows and a black and red Sword Qi shot out, aiming for the fists.

Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword!

Boom!

As the fists met with the sword, the sword light instantly dispersed. The fists stopped for a while, before aiming for Zhou Bao again.

”Good punching skill!” In the small pause, Zhou Bao understood the beauty of this move.

Zhou Bao's eyes began to shine so brightly!
