A haggard voice with a longing tone rang out in the air.
The way it spoke sounded as if it had transcended time itself. In fact, it seemed to be speaking to someone in the past.
Chu Zhengliang and everyone else were so shaken that their eyes widened in shock.
Even Chu Yuan himself was filled with disbelief.
He had never in his wildest dreams expected that he would lose control of the puppet at such a time.
What astounded everyone further was the fact that they could feel a sense of sorrow and longing from the puppet.
“What's going on? Isn't Iron Man just a puppet made from secret techniques? Technically, it shouldn't be alive.”
“However, if it isn't alive, how can it have human emotions?” “Can Iron Man actually be a sentient being?”
Everyone on Mount Chumen was bewildered.
Evidently, Iron Man's response had exceeded their knowledge about secret puppet techniques.
Even though they were rare, they still existed in the martial arts world.
Within China itself, secret puppet-making techniques were widespread in Miaojiang.
Even then, those puppets had no emotion and would obey their masters without question.
But now, not only was Iron Man sentient, but he also knelt on the ground and addressed Ye Fan as his dad.
The scene even caused Tang Yun's face to ashen in disbelief.
In fact, Ye Fan himself was equally stunned to the extent of looking in Tang Yun's direction, as if to ask her if she was the mother.
Obviously, such a strange idea only flashed across Ye Fan's mind for a fleeting moment.
After all, he had only known Tang Yun for a few years. Even if she had born him a child, it wouldn't have
grown so big so quickly.
Nonetheless, it wasn't the time for doubts. Regardless of the reason Iron Man was acting that way, Ye Fan knew he couldn't spare it.
In the event Chu Yuan regained control of Iron Man, Ye Fan wouldn't be able to turn the tide around anymore.
As a result, the moment Iron Man knelt in submission, the Sword of Yunyang in Ye Fan's hand didn't show any mercy.
The sequence of seven consecutive strikes was unleashed upon Iron Man's body.
“Iron Man, run! What are you kneeling there for? I'm supposed to be your master. If you must kneel, it should be to me! Why are you disobeying me?”
When he felt the Sword of Yunyang's impending power, Chu Yuan utterly panicked, as he was fearful of being responsible for losing one of the family's treasures.
Unfortunately, he was restrained by Moon God and was unable to interfere. All he could do was bark orders in anger.
Despite his efforts, his words fell on deaf ears.
Meanwhile, Iron Man continued to kneel on the ground as if he was a devout worshipper with unshakeable faith.
In fact, when it saw the explosive power unleashed by the Sword of Yunyang, he didn't dodge at all. He even opened up his arms to welcome it, as if he was a lost child who finally found his parents and wanted to throw himself at them. That was how he embraced the shockwave that the sword had released.
Boom!
In the end, the attack struck Iron Man.
Ye Fan had assumed that the Cloud and Mist Sword Technique was capable of tearing apart Iron Man's defenses.
Unfortunately, he had miscalculated.
After the strike, Iron Man looked as if it was hit only by a light drizzle.
The strike didn't even leave a mark on Iron Man at all.
“W-What the...” Ye Fan gaped in disbelief.
Tang Yun was equally bewildered.
She couldn't imagine how the Tang family's ultimate technique didn't even leave a scratch on Iron Man.
“Hahaha. You b*stard! Did you actually think you can damage a treasure of the Chu family? Iron Man was left behind by my ancestors. No weapon or element can penetrate him at all. Even I can't break through its defenses at full power. Therefore, a nobody like you won't be able to harm it despite wielding the Sword of Yunyang. Given how weak you are, there's no way you can unleash the true potential of the sword.”
