Victory

"Three zhang?"

Dan Chen quickly retreated. He had only intended to test the waters and had no intention of engaging in battle with the puppet. However, to his surprise, even though he had moved five zhang away from the stone box, the puppet continued to chase him relentlessly.

A tawny true energy emerged over the humanoid puppet's fists, quickly transforming into a long spear. With a slight shake, the puppet raised a gust of sand and dust, creating a desert storm.

"Not good! It's resorting to desperate measures right from the start!"

Dan Chen, alarmed, hastily continued to retreat. The courtyard was not an ideal place for a battle. While he could handle one high-level martial puppet, if the fluctuations of his true energy alarmed other puppets, he might find himself at a disadvantage.

"Boss!"

"Don't come! This puppet is targeting me. Stay here and make sure not to approach any stone box within three zhang!"
