567 Energy System (1/2)

While Jin Ying was not an immortal cultivator, she more or less knew some things about immortal cultivators. She was rather well experienced.

She had decided not to simply barge but instead looked down in search of traces left behind by Mo Wen and Yin Banshuang. This meant she was able to follow their path and she walked towards the center of the garden.

With the experience of those who had come before her, she did not touch a single trap and easily reached the center of the garden.

At this point in time, Mo Wen and Yin Banshuang were already fighting the two-headed puppet monster. The monkey-shaped puppet monster that Yin Banshuang was facing was very strong while the rat-shaped puppet monster Mo Wen was facing was very agile. In terms of ability, the two were about equal but the rat-shaped puppet monster was obviously more difficult to handle.

Fortunately, there were no other obstructions around the pool. Otherwise, the battle would definitely cause a chain reaction in the traps.

Whoosh! The rat-shaped puppet monster was extremely agile. It easily dodged Mo Wen's punch, and then turned into dozens of figures in the air and appeared before Mo Wen in mere seconds. Five long two-inches sharp blades shot out from the seemingly small rat paw and they glinted coldly.

Mo Wen's figure flashed and barely dodged the rat-shaped puppet beast's claws. He had not yet stabilized himself when the five sharp claws shot out again like five sharp arrows and went for Mo Wen's throat, heart, head and other vital body parts.

Clink Clink Clink! A black flying dagger appeared in Mo Wen's hand. It flicked lightly and turned into a black ray of light that blocked three of the claws. Two of the claws shot into the air and passed Mo Wen.

Then, the two sharp blades that had missed suddenly turned and shot back silently, heading straight for Mo Wen's heart.

Mo Wen's sense of perception was very sharp. He immediately realized that something was not right behind him. He did not think before he flipped and executed a punch.

A sharp blade collided with Mo Wen's fists which were glowing with gold light. The sharp blade immediately bounced back and then, a terrifying force knocked Mo Wen into the air.

The rat-shaped puppet monster seemed to be waiting for this opportunity. A devilish purple light shone in its rat eyes and it shot out with a whoosh, colliding forcefully with Mo Wen's back as he flew backward.

The plan was very nearly perfect. It seemed as though the puppet beast was controlling the battle. With Mo Wen's current state it seemed impossible for him to block the rat-shaped puppet beast's attack.

Jin Ying, who had just arrived, stood close by and raised her eyebrows. Just as she was thinking about whether she should save him, Mo Wen's body suddenly stopped in mid-air. It was as if time had stopped. He had been flying backward but suddenly stopped.

A black and a gold whirlpool appeared around Mo Wen, surrounding him.

It was the Heaven and Earth Great Shift, an invincible martial art that could control the rhythm of a battle. It showcased its ability in full at this time.

With the Heaven and Earth Great Shift, Mo Wen easily gained control of his body.

However, the rat-shaped puppet monster was hurtling toward him and it fell into the gold and black whirlpool.

The forceful collision felt as if it could make an enormous crater in a mountain. However, the two-colored whirlpool did not seem as if it was affected. It turned slightly and pushed the greater part of the rat-shaped puppet monster to one side. The force that landed on Mo Wen was only a small part.

Mo Wen had already had the chance to adjust and prepare himself. He flung his fist out and hit the rat-shaped puppet monster, causing the steel monster to fly in the air.

The puppet monster was after all just a puppet monster. While it might have some combat ability, it did not know how to use it well. It only knew how to kill blindly and when it encountered a martial art like the Heaven and Earth Great Shift, it was much more restricted by it than ordinary warriors would be.

A small mirror had already appeared in Mo Wen's hand when the rat-shaped puppet monster flew into the air. It was the Green Primordial Mirror.

The metal armor on the puppet's body was not ordinary steel. It was a special metal made by immortal cultivators. Even though it had been corroded by sunlight and the defensive property of the metallic armor was not as good as before, Mo Wen was unlikely to break the armor simply with his ability.

It was almost impossible to destroy such a puppet monster when fighting against it. It would be impossible with the abilities of just a few practitioners.

There were two ways to get rid of something like the puppet monster. One method was to continue fighting with the monster until the energy system of the puppet monster was depleted. Another was to destroy the monster's energy system and disrupt the energy generation.

The first method was obviously unachievable. This puppet monster was already several thousand years, or even several hundred thousand years, old. Its energy system had not been depleted even after such a long time. They did not know when they would be able to deplete the monster's energy at their rate of fighting.

As for the second method, it was very difficult. After all, immortal cultivators who had made these puppet monsters would naturally have thought of such a possibility. As such, the energy systems of puppet beasts were carefully protected. Even finding the network of its energy system was difficult. Destroying it was almost impossible.
