Novel Full Chapter 1525 - 574: Mechanical Puppets (Part 2)
Then you see Wei Ziyi’s face showing a hint of horror:
"Old Demon... I feel like these statues are all watching me..."
Su Mo chuckled at her words:
"Whether it’s a painting or a statue,
as long as it has eyes, no matter if it’s hanging on the wall or placed somewhere beside you, it always gives you the illusion that it’s staring at you.
It’s nothing."
"Really?"
Wei Ziyi pointed at a statue:
"But it’s clearly looking down at me."
Su Mo was taken aback and followed her finger.
Indeed, he saw a statue with its head slightly lowered, seemingly gazing down at these insignificant mortals who had appeared out of nowhere.
Besides the sound of footsteps, there were no other echoes in the hall.
Wei Ziyi’s words immediately reached everyone’s ears.
Then Lei Zhenming burst into laughter:
"Miss Wei, don’t worry. These statues are just clay figures. If they want to look, let them look all they want.
Even if they come to life, what’s the big deal?
You don’t believe me, just watch..."
As Lei Zhenming finished those last four words, he tapped his foot, suddenly soaring into the air.
With a swing of his single blade in his palm, a buzzing sound was heard, and a streak of blade light quickly swept out.
It headed straight for the throat of a statue.
With a crackling sound!
The blade light hit it, producing the sound of metal clashing.
"Not clay!"
The sound allowed everyone to instantly discern the truth.
Hidden Sword Hermit, who had been observing the statues on both sides, exclaimed in shock upon seeing this:
"Not good!!"
As soon as these two words fell, the cracking sound erupted from all directions.
Paths of dust shed from the statues, revealing their true appearance.
They were not made of clay but constructed from interlocking metals and wood, massive yet extremely intricate.
Perhaps angered by Lei Zhenming’s strike, the statue with its neck chopped twisted its steel pitchfork and directly targeted Lei Zhenming!
Lei Zhenming was taken aback in shock:
"Well, damn, it came to life!?"
With a move, he instantly flew aside to avoid the attacking steel pitchfork.
A crackling sound was heard as the steel pitchfork struck the ground, sparking a series of embers.
Others were about to assist when they suddenly realized that several statues around them had all come to life.
Each took a step forward, and the weapons in their hands fiercely descended.
Mingyue Taoist shouted angrily:
"Lei Zhenming, you fool, we agreed not to touch them at random!
"Why are you the first to disobey?"
However, even if Lei Zhenming was scolded to death, it was too late to fix the situation now.
The statues suddenly moved, executing their attacks with extreme precision and power.
There were many people from the Nanhai Martial world present.
But upon sudden engagement, each spewed blood from their mouths.
Astonishingly, they were not a match for these statues!
In a moment of distraction, several were already lost.
Suddenly, the air was filled with sounds of angry shouts, tragic cries, and the constant noise of mechanisms operating.
"These aren’t statues; these are Mechanical Puppets!"
Hidden Sword Hermit made a probing glance around, preparing to find a chance to dodge.
However, he did not know martial arts, so neither his reactions nor speed could match those Jianghu experts.
He saw a massive, black blade descending, about to split him in two.
A burst of flames suddenly shot into the sky.
With a ding!
The flames blended with blade light as they clashed.
The Mechanical Puppet hesitated.
Taking advantage of this moment, Hidden Sword Hermit felt a tight grip on the back of his neck and found himself lifted into the air.
Turning to look, it was none other than Nanhai Alliance’s Great Elder, Mei Xuesong!
With a swift retreat, they were already beside Gao Tianqi.
The Mechanical Puppet did not pursue the attack, instead retreating a step to lean back against the Coiled Dragon Pillar.
Su Mo’s sharp eyes quickly spotted the Mystical.
On the Coiled Dragon Pillar, there was another mechanism, a slowly rotating ’cross’.
He glanced over at the Mechanical Puppets slaughtering behind him and noticed that, indeed, on the backs of these Mechanical Puppets was also a cross-shaped indentation.
Were these Mechanical Puppets... using these Coiled Dragon Pillars to set the bow?
This means they can’t keep fighting like this forever.
Yet how exactly did they autonomously return to accept the setting of the bow?
Of course, at this point, there was no time to delve into the details.
He casually grabbed hold of a whip lashing toward him, then launched a palm strike backward, sending a purple palm shadow swiftly forward.
With a loud boom, the Mechanical Puppet was pushed back by his palm strike.
Raising its hand to swing the whip again, it intended to lash out once more.
But despite its fierce movements, it caused no damage... because the whip in its hand had already been snatched away by Su Mo.
At the same time, an Iron Spear from another Mechanical Puppet descended suddenly.
Shi Shengtian gave an angry shout:
"Get lost!!"
He flew up with one kick.
Heavenly Termination Divine falling Leg!
This move was not only effective from above but also executed with ease from below upward.
The kick was forceful and powerful.
Directly targeting the Mechanical Puppet’s wrist.
The Mechanical Puppet hesitated briefly, another hand reaching to grab Shi Shengtian.
Shi Shengtian did not hesitate, countering with a powerful punch.
Heavenly Termination Earth Splitting Fist!
With a crunching sound, Shi Shengtian’s body trembled, and he floated back, while the opponent’s grab paused slightly.
Ready to strike again, Shi Shengtian had already landed on the ground, brows furrowed:
"What a hard shell!"
