Chapter 641: Chapter 483: Entering the Treasury, Puppets, Bountiful Harvest (Part 3)
“Boom——!”
A hundred Tier Six Puppets stepped forward simultaneously, the heavy iron boots pounding the ground, producing a deafening sound, causing the entire clearing to tremble slightly.
The long spears in their hands emitted a dense blue light, a chilling cold spreading along the spearhead, freezing the air into tiny ice crystals as they charged towards Qin Tian and the other three.
The dense steel figures moved like a wall, a forest of spears stabbing forward, with no frills, only the purest aura of slaughter.
“Four Symbols Array!” Zhuge Yu shouted in a low voice, the array plate in his hand suddenly exploding with four colors of light: cyan, white, black, and red.
Qin Tian, Taishi Feng, and Huo Yuan Sheng understood instinctively, instantly positioning themselves at the four corners.
Taishi Feng was in the east, belonging to the Cyan Dragon position, holding the Heaven-piercing Halberd horizontally as golden Spiritual Energy surged; Huo Yuan Sheng was in the west, belonging to the White Tiger position, drawing his longsword, with the silver sword light fierce; Zhuge Yu was in the north, belonging to the Black Tortoise position, with the array plate spinning, defensive lines intertwining; Qin Tian was in the south, belonging to the Vermilion Bird position, the Black Frost Blade emanating purple lightning, the aura dense.
Four symbols patterns appeared under their feet simultaneously, Spiritual Energy tightly connected through the array, forming a cycle of energy barriers.
Taishi Feng first confronted the puppet charging at the front, the Heaven-piercing Halberd sweeping out with immense power, clashing heavily against the puppet’s armor with a loud clang, sparks flying. But the cold iron body of the puppet was incredibly tough, leaving only a shallow white mark.
Huo Yuan Sheng moved swiftly, his longsword like a venomous snake, precisely stabbing at the joint of the puppet——the weak point where the mechanisms connected.
But the sword tip pierced less than half an inch before being stopped by the hard cold iron, and he quickly turned and withdrew the sword, yet the puppet continued its charge unhindered.
“This cold iron is too hard!” Huo Yuan Sheng gritted his teeth, swinging his sword again at the puppet’s neck, but still only leaving scratches, unable to cause any lethal damage.
At that moment, Qin Tian moved. His figure darting like a ghost, the Black Frost Blade surged with purple lightning, wielding the power to destroy heaven and earth, slashing towards the waist of a puppet.
“Slash——”
The Sword Qi of purple lightning instantly cleaved through the cold iron armor, slicing a deep gash in the puppet’s waist, almost severing it in half, revealing the mechanical structure within.
Taishi Feng and Huo Yuan Sheng both widened their eyes, faces full of shock——being of the same tier, Qin Tian’s attack was terrifying to such an extent that their full effort only left marks, yet Qin Tian could heavily damage a puppet with one strike!
But before they could remain in shock, the injured puppet suddenly lit up with dense blue light, the cold iron fragments at the wound writhing as though alive, the blue energy liquid rapidly flowing, the broken mechanical structure quickly reassembling.
Within a few short breaths, the crack healed as new, the blue light in the puppet’s eyes growing stronger, as it turned to charge crazily at Qin Tian.
“We must destroy the core!” Zhuge Yu’s voice transmitted through the array, he focused on the blue crystal on the puppet’s head, “The energy core of these puppets should be in the blue crystal, only by shattering the core can we completely deal with them!”
The Zhuge Family’s mechanism technique is second only to the Heaven’s Secret Art, famed far and wide within the Empire, in ancient times, the Zhuge Clan was renowned for the Wooden Oxen and Flowing Horses that have been passed down for thousands of years, and they further developed many high-tier puppets, but even with the technology and heritage of the Zhuge Clan, Tier Six Puppets are not easy to make.
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian’s eyes flashed, and a thought suddenly crossed his mind.
He looked at the puppet charging over, releasing a circle of faint yellow halo, which swept over the surroundings like a tide, carrying an emperor’s pressure that ruled the world.
This pressure was not directed at living beings, but at the essence of objects, wherever it passed, the few puppets at the front suddenly halted, their bodies beginning to tremble uncontrollably, the joints emitting “creak creak” strange sounds, as if two forces were competing for control of their bodies.
“What… ability is this?” Zhuge Yu and the other three were dumbfounded, they had never seen a secret technique that could directly affect puppets.
Qin Tian slightly raised the corner of his mouth, the Black Frost Blade in his hand gently withdrew.
He had just thought, these puppets are essentially “weapons,” and his talent[Divine Weapon Emperor]not only strengthens and nourishes weapons but also allows control and disassembly of objects.
Destroying these Tier Six Puppets directly would be too wasteful, better to sever the core’s connection with the body, for later repairing, and even use the power of the Divine Weapon Emperor to enhance them, making them stronger.
The faint yellow halo continued to spread, covering the entire clearing.
All the puppets stopped their charge, some maintaining the posture of waving a spear, some half-kneeling on the ground, trembling violently, the light in the blue crystals flickering, the connection between the core and the body being forcibly severed.
Before long, all the puppets ceased their actions, the blue light in their eyes extinguished completely, standing stiffly in various poses, like sculptures that had lost their soul.
Seeing this, Qin Tian nodded in satisfaction, with a wave of his hand, the steel puppets were pulled by an invisible force, swiftly flying into Qin Tian’s Spirit Space, disappearing in an instant.
The clearing returned to calm, only the residual energy lines of the Four Symbols Array flickering on the ground.
Zhuge Yu and the other three exchanged glances, seeing shock in each other’s eyes.
These troublesome Tier Six Puppets were dealt with quietly by Qin Tian?
This was too effortless.
“I have taken those puppets, everyone has no objections, right?” Qin Tian looked at the group.
“Of course not, it was your achievement.”
Zhuge Yu shook his head, without Qin Tian, they would have to undergo a hard fight, even risking serious injury, now resolved so easily, it was clearly beneficial.
He believed, Taishi Feng and Huo Yuan Sheng also wouldn’t have the intention to possess the puppets.
“Certainly, they are your spoils of war.”
Taishi Feng and Huo Yuan Sheng nodded simultaneously.
“Good, then let’s continue forward.”
Qin Tian looked towards the tightly closed door, his eyes showing anticipation.
Who knows what opportunities and challenges lie in wait behind the door.
