Sparks flew. The puppet reacted with lightning speed, its long saber blocking the attack. The blow was powerful and heavy, sending a numbing sensation through Chen Qing's arm.
'Its strength and speed are on par with a typical early-stage Astral Force Martial Artist, but its moves are a bit rigid and lack spirituality.' Chen Qing made an instant judgment.

He activated the Startled Swan Escape Shadow Technique, his figure flashing like a phantom to evade the puppet's downward slash. The long spear in his hand was like a venomous dragon emerging from its lair, piercing with unerring accuracy into the joint at the puppet's throat!
CRACK!
The puppet's movements froze. The red glow in its eyes extinguished, and with a CLATTER, it fell to the ground in a heap of pieces.
The stairs leading to the Second Layer then appeared before him.
