With a sweep of the Ben Lei Sword in his hand, a sharp whistling sound arose, and a golden light traced a beautiful arc through the void.
Wu Tian stared at the Thunder God Puppet. Although he knew the puppet could not understand him, he still said, "If you insist on killing me, then I won't be polite."
"Next, I'll let you witness the power of the Ben Lei Sword!"
He had originally expected the Thunder God Puppet to charge at him again, but to his surprise, at this moment, the Thunder God Puppet suddenly stopped moving.
And from its eyes, which were condensed with lightning, Wu Tian could even vaguely sense… fear.
"Hmm?" This made Wu Tian feel puzzled.
He did not act rashly, but simply watched the Thunder God Puppet, not understanding why it had changed so drastically.
A few seconds later, the Thunder God Puppet moved. It took heavy steps, and then walked towards Wu Tian, step by step.
Although the steps appeared to be very slow, Wu Tian still had no intention of attacking.
For no other reason than that he did not feel any killing intent from the Thunder God Puppet.
For this reason, his brows furrowed slightly. Although he did not attack, the immortal energy within him had already condensed, waiting for a moment of need.
When the Thunder God Puppet reached Wu Tian, it suddenly stopped. Just as Wu Tian was still wondering what it was going to do, something incredible happened!
The Thunder God Puppet's body slowly lowered, and finally, it knelt respectfully before Wu Tian!
"This!" Seeing such a scene, Wu Tian was also somewhat caught off guard, and was stunned.
He subconsciously asked, "Wh-what do you mean by this?"
But how could the Thunder God Puppet answer him? It simply knelt there quietly.
Its demeanor was completely different from its previous ferocious stance.
This situation left Wu Tian completely bewildered. His eyes flickered, and his mind began to race.
Subsequently, his attention fell on the Ben Lei Sword.
Wait, this Thunder God Puppet only made such strange moves after he took out the Ben Lei Sword.
Could it be that the problem lay with the Ben Lei Sword?
Thinking this, to confirm his idea, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then sheathed the Ben Lei Sword.
And the moment the Ben Lei Sword disappeared, a fierce aura surged from the Thunder God Puppet again. It leaped up and actually intended to attack Wu Tian again!
As expected, it was the Ben Lei Sword!
Seeing the situation unfold like this, even a fool could discern the true reason.
Wu Tian quickly dodged the Thunder God Puppet's attack, then summoned the Ben Lei Sword again and thrust it towards the Thunder God Puppet's forehead.
The sword tip stopped half a centimeter away from the Thunder God Puppet's forehead, and at the same time, the Thunder God Puppet also stopped moving and knelt down again.
Wu Tian looked at it with surprise and suddenly understood.
No matter what, this Thunder God Puppet was a divine weapon personally refined by the Thunder God, and this Ben Lei Sword belonged to the Thunder God, carrying the Thunder God's aura to some extent.
It was likely that the Thunder God Puppet, having sensed that trace of aura, had submitted before him.
Thinking of this, Wu Tian couldn't help but exclaim.
The Ben Lei Sword had first dealt with the Heavenly Thunder King, and now it helped him subdue the Thunder God Puppet. This was truly a worthy treasure!
From the current situation, the Ben Lei Sword's function was merely to make the Thunder God Puppet submit, but it seemed it could not be controlled by him.
But regardless, the Thunder God Puppet was equivalent to a mid-grade immortal-level expert, and its actual combat strength even made him feel troublesome.
How could he not be tempted by such a good thing?
Therefore, his goal was now very clear: he must completely subdue the Thunder God Puppet during the time it was suppressed!
If so, he, Wu Tian, would have an additional layer of security in the future!
With this thought, Wu Tian's gaze became somewhat fervent.
Immediately, without further thought, he bit his finger, and a drop of his vital blood flew out, landing on the Thunder God Puppet's head.
The moment the drop of vital blood fell, it immediately hissed and emitted wisps of smoke.
Wu Tian felt a peculiar connection forming between him and the Thunder God Puppet.
Once that connection was completely established, he truly became the master of this puppet.
However, with Wu Tian's cautious nature, he had to test everything, and naturally would not relax carelessly.
He deliberately created some distance, then sheathed the Ben Lei Sword again, and prepared for battle.
But this time, the Thunder God Puppet did not suddenly launch any attacks like before. It remained kneeling there, looking like a dormant statue.
Then, Wu Tian's thoughts shifted slightly, and the Thunder God Puppet stood up and walked to Wu Tian's side.
It was a head taller than Wu Tian, and coupled with its imposing physique, it exuded a rock-solid aura, as if there was no more reliable guard in the entire world.
Only now did Wu Tian truly confirm that the Thunder God Puppet had indeed become his!
He had absolute authority to command it!
The more Wu Tian thought about it, the more excited he became. After all, with such a powerful subordinate by his side, who would dare to provoke him?
He hadn't expected to gain such a great advantage so soon after entering the forest.
With the Thunder God Puppet as his assistant, his future journey in the Thunder God Immortal Realm would have an additional layer of security.
And just as he was feeling excited about this, rustling sounds suddenly arose from the bushes.
"Hmm?"
Wu Tian turned his head. In an instant, the bushes were violently broken through.
Following that, dozens of figures streaked through the air and charged straight at Wu Tian!
Snakes!
But not ordinary snakes!
These snakes were entwined with lightning power, clearly the Thunder Spirit Snakes among spirit beasts!
Wu Tian did not expect to be ambushed at this moment. Just as he was about to counterattack, his thoughts had barely flashed when the Thunder God Puppet rushed out first.
It stirred up a heavy gust of wind and punched at the Thunder Spirit Snakes.
The violent airwaves instantly engulfed all the Thunder Spirit Snakes, and then their bodies exploded, turning into pools of flesh and blood that fell to the ground.
Looking at the bloody scene on the ground, Wu Tian was stunned. After a while, he murmured:
"My heavens, this is too reliable!"
