Shangguan Yun held the Command Cloud Flag capable of commanding the Cloud Pendant Formation and looked greedily at the Tiger Talisman in Chen Ku's hand, without hiding his intentions, coldly stating a cry and advancing towards Chen Ku.

If previously he hadn't intended to engage in battle with Chen Ku and the others, it was because he feared Qin Yuxian, the Grandmaster, and the elder beside him whose skills surpassed even Qin Yuxian.

But now, after Chen Ku unexpectedly intervened and gained more than he did, he could no longer suppress his killing intent.

Those few drops of the True Blood of Hero and the mental method could be ignored.

The key was that Chen Ku managed to obtain a drop of Soul Blood, and...

Most significantly, the 'Tiger Talisman Token' that Shangguan Yun valued the most.

Unlike others who sought treasures merely for some Divine Skill Secret Manual, martial art inheritance, divine weapons, gold, and silver, Shangguan Yun, although he liked these things, did not regard them as the greatest treasure.

The greatest treasures in this Hero King Treasure are only two!

One is the legendary Immortal World Relic that can endlessly spew out treasures—the 'Void Sky Treasure Box.'

The other...

Is at least a thousand mechanical armies within this Underground Palace.

Even if not every Mechanical Copper Person possesses the battle strength of the Seventh Realm, but mostly have Five Realms strength, a thousand strong army of Five Realms Mechanical Copper People, including at least dozens of 'Heavenly General' level Copper People with Seventh Realm strength.

With this military force, waiting for the chaotic times to arrive, Shangguan Yun could swallow up a whole state and crown himself king, and perhaps eventually contend for the supreme throne.

"Kill Chen Ku! Seize the Tiger Talisman!"

Shangguan Yun's eyes turned red, fixating only on the half of the Tiger Talisman in Chen Ku's hand.

"Cloud Flipping! Cloud Draped All Around!"

With a swing of the command flag, Chen Ku, Qin Yuxian, and Shan Lingguan, who were in the Cloud Pendant Formation, instantly felt a giant hand falling from the dozen acres of cloud qi overhead, reaching straight towards the three of them!

"Little Qin, protect your junior disciple!"

Shan Lingguan shouted, standing tall and employing the Huntian Overlord Body's Seventh Layer Cultivation Body, fiercely clenching his fist below his robe, and launched a punch at the descending cloud hand.

Under this punch, the seven types of True Qi within the elderly body violently exploded, converging into seven dragon forms, bursting from the fist, astonishingly casting a thousand martial arts!

Among them, axes, spears, swords, halberds, and various transformations of blades and fists, ultimately condensing into a massive wheel-like Fist Mark!

Violently crashing towards the Cloud Hand!

But, just before the punch was about to strike the cloud hand of the Eight Gates Shocking Array, unexpectedly,

Qin Yuxian and Chen Ku behind him were already completely engulfed by the surrounding clouds!

"Kill!"

Seeing his formation successfully separating the seemingly strongest elder on the battlefield, Shangguan Yun led a Seventh Realm Sword Puppet and Xu Minjun, Sui You, charging at Chen Ku and Qin Yuxian.

The huge Seventh Realm Sword Puppet wielded a door-sized large sword, yet its body charged forth with unexpected agility, despite its enormous size.

With one step, both man and sword advanced, resembling an Ancient Demon God.

In an instant,

The sword light took over all of Chen Ku's vision, leaving only the image of that massive Mechanical Copper Person's single strike.

"Junior brother! Fall back!"

At the critical moment, Qin Yuxian coldly shouted, a small golden melon hammer, seemingly delicate at just over two feet long, slid from his sleeve into his palm, holding the hammer effortlessly, and swung it at the Mechanical Copper Person!

Clang!

As the small hammer clashed with the large sword, an instant gap the size of a bowl appeared in the massive sword.

Boom!

The enormous Seventh Realm Mechanical Copper Person, as if struck by incredible force, despite supporting itself with the sword on the ground, was sent flying by Qin Yuxian's single strike.

The large sword plowed a long groove into the ground!

"As expected of a Grandmaster, but alas, this is the Eight Gates Shocking Array, and you dream of protecting Chen Ku, foolishness!"

Seeing the sword-wielding copper person retreat with a single strike yet unflustered, Shangguan Yun flipped the Command Cloud Flag, causing the sword-wielding copper person to be shrouded in cloud qi, transforming into a blur and moving three or four times faster than before!

In an instant, it unleashed countless slashes towards Qin Yuxian!

Clang! Clang clang clang!

Despite Qin Yuxian fiercely smashing with the hammer, the figure of the massive bronze puppet seemed elusive amidst the shifting shadows.

Clearly.

Shangguan Yun had attached the Cloud Pendant Formation's array patterns to the puppet, allowing it to move stealthily within the formation, unpredictable and ghostly!

"Alright! Qin Yuxian is held by the sword puppet, let's join forces, take down Chen Ku directly, seize his Tiger Talisman, and snatch his treasure blood!"

With a cold snort, Shangguan Yun led Xu Minjun and Sui You, blitzing straight towards Chen Ku.

Qin Yuxian's expression changed slightly, shouting in succession:

"Junior brother, be careful!"

Facing the three charging at him, Chen Ku remained calm and slowly drew out the Coiled Dragon Staff, replying to Qin Yuxian:

"Don't worry, senior brother, who kills whom is still uncertain!"

"Arrogant!"

Shangguan Yun, hearing this, maintained a cold demeanor, knowing full well that Chen Ku was not weak in strength, but how much did Chen Ku understand about him?

His eyes fixed on Chen Ku, yet he was silently beginning to perform the Spirit Vanquish Technique from the 'Black Secret Intelligence Book' — Destruction God Soul-striking Technique!
