When the figure appeared, even Wu Tian couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.
Because from that figure, he felt a very powerful aura.
An aura like that actually surpassed the bald man and the red-haired man!
Clearly, that was definitely not something that could be dealt with casually.
Wu Tian stared at the figure, and after the smoke dissipated and the figure revealed its true appearance, Wu Tian was stunned.
It was a person, or rather... just a humanoid puppet!
The puppet was entirely black, looking as if it were made of wood, yet also of iron. It was silent, yet it sent a chill down one's spine.
The bald man and the red-haired man also stared blankly at the puppet, clearly not expecting it to manifest in this manner in the end.
"It actually succeeded..." the bald man said dazedly.
After speaking, he looked at Wu Tian again, adopting a look of assured victory, and said, "Kid, you're completely finished!"
"My puppet possesses the strength of a mid-grade immortal. Before this puppet today, I don't believe you can do anything to me!"
"A puppet with the strength of a mid-grade immortal?" Hearing this, Wu Tian was also surprised. "Where did you get it?"
With the puppet in his possession, the bald man became very confident.
He smiled and said, "You don't need to know where I got it. You just need to know that this is a puppet personally forged by the Thunder God."
"You were quite formidable just now, weren't you? Come on, try to kill me again if you dare, haha."
In fact, it was purely by chance that the bald man obtained this puppet.
When he and the red-haired man first arrived in this forest, they discovered a tree hollow.
And at that time, the puppet lay in the tree hollow in the form of a small wooden doll.
They had heard of the Thunder God Puppet, so they took it.
Before Wu Tian entered the Thunder God Immortal Realm, he had also learned a lot about it from Lei Zhengxuan, so he was aware of the Thunder God Puppet.
Legend had it that the Thunder God had forged several puppets back then and injected a trace of his immortal energy into them, granting them immense power.
However, Wu Tian had never imagined that such a treasure would fall into the hands of these two people before him.
Since this was something personally forged by the Thunder God, Wu Tian naturally did not dare to be careless.
His gaze became serious, and he said, "I truly didn't expect you to have such a thing. It's quite beyond my expectations."
The bald man continued to laugh, "How is it? Regretful now? But I'm telling you, it's too late to regret it!"
"The Thunder God Puppet is nominally a mid-grade immortal in strength, but don't forget, this was forged by the Thunder God. Ordinary mid-grade immortals are no match for it!"
"Now that I'm pitting you against it, I don't believe you can smash it to pieces!"
Wu Tian said, "But as far as I know, puppets are supposed to be bound through a blood pact, right?"
"Furthermore, the master's strength must also reach the level possessed by the puppet."
"You two are both low-grade immortals, and this puppet is a mid-grade immortal. Tell me, by what means are you able to control it?"
The bald man was slightly stunned, then showed a fierce expression and said, "That's not your concern. In any case, it listens to me now, and you can't do anything to me!"
"You're not convinced, are you? If you're not convinced, then come and hit me now. See if this Thunder God Puppet doesn't kill you on the spot!"
Hearing the bald man say this, even Wu Tian was a little unsure if the Thunder God Puppet would truly obey the bald man.
If that were the case, it would be a considerable problem for him.
Having been humiliated by Wu Tian earlier, the bald man now only wanted to regain his dignity. Thus, he didn't say anything more to Wu Tian.
He said to the Thunder God Puppet, "Hey, kill him for me now, quickly!"
Seeing the bald man issue the command, Wu Tian did not dare to delay and quickly condensed the immortal energy within him.
However, the scene of the Thunder God Puppet launching an attack that he had imagined did not materialize. The puppet remained still, as if it were just an inanimate object, which was very strange.
Seeing this, the bald man was also taken aback and said, "Hey, I'm talking to you, do you hear me? If you don't attack, do you believe I'll dismantle you!"
Yet, even so, the Thunder God Puppet showed no intention of moving.
Seeing this, Wu Tian finally understood.
It seemed that the bald man was all talk and had no control over the Thunder God Puppet.
He couldn't help but laugh and say, "No way, didn't you say you could control the Thunder God Puppet? Why is there no reaction at all now?"
As soon as the bald man heard this, he felt a wave of embarrassment, and his scalp turned red.
He became somewhat exasperated and couldn't help but kick the Thunder God Puppet, cursing, "Damn it! I want you to move! I want you to move! You bastard!"
At this moment, the Thunder God Puppet suddenly moved.
The bald man immediately became overjoyed and said, "It's moving, it's moving! Great!"
"Go on! Kill him for me! I am your master, listen to me quickly!"
Two beams of lightning suddenly flashed in the puppet's dark eye sockets, looking like two concentrated bolts of lightning power.
It emitted a very strange aura, and this aura made even Wu Tian feel a bit suspicious.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted at the bald man, "Get out of the way quickly!"
"What did you say..." The bald man hadn't even reacted.
But in that instant, the Thunder God Puppet suddenly turned its head and swept a hand knife horizontally, striking the bald man's neck!
In the blink of an eye, the bald man's eyes widened, and then his head fell from his neck, hitting the ground.
Blood gushed out like a fountain. The bald man's body twitched twice before he collapsed!
With just one strike, the Thunder God Puppet had killed the bald man!
Such a scene had a great impact on Wu Tian.
He had already sensed the killing intent of the Thunder God Puppet, but he hadn't expected the puppet to be so ruthless.
Seeing the bald man killed, the red-haired man's face turned pale with fright.
He let out a terrified scream and then turned and ran backward.
But the Thunder God Puppet clearly had no intention of letting him go. Its figure flashed, and when it reappeared, the red-haired man's chest had already been pierced!
