Chapter 251 – Mu Zi’s shock

Mo Wei Tian and Mo Leng stood dumbfounded.

There were very few mechanical martial artists who made it to the Heavens Road List. Mo Wei Tian knew that everyone on the list came from a strong family background. The list definitely did not include the teenager who stood right in front of him.

This scoundrel…

“What a courageous tone.” Scarecrow grinned as his body swayed along with the wind.

[Scarecrow], ranked 9854 on the Heaven Road.

He opened his palm, which was covered in thick layers of dry grass. Within a patch of soft dark green foliage, the individual blades of grass straightened, exuding a metallic ring as their tips flickered.

Scarecrow stood motionless. Several straightened needle-like grass blades float quietly towards Tang Tian.

Tang Tian wielded his Bleeding Cat Blade Scythe and unleashed a soft slash-like motion.

A cold breeze blew across the landscape as the grass blades shattered into finer pieces, slowly drifting till they landed on the floor.

Tang Tian heightened his senses further. He was shocked that the seemingly soft grass blades were as hard as steel.

“So you do have a skill or two.” Scarecrow let out a soft smile: “No wonder the arrogance.”

His palms, like the seaweeds dwelling beneath the water, flowed smoothly as more grass blades floated down from his palms. He raised his finger slowly at Tang Tian and whispered: “Go for it.”

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

The sharp shrill pierced through the air incessantly as a line of fine grass blades launched straight at Tang Tian.

Tang Tian was prepared to dodge the oncoming attack. But Sai Lei was standing right behind him and the Fire Scythe Ghost Claw he was wielding was not suitable for defence. In the moment of desperation, Tang Tian thought of an idea.

A simple and unadorned shield magically appeared in Tang Tian hand. It was the Blood Rush Shield!

Tang Tian waved his shield frantically, trying to shield Sai Lei and him from the grass blades. Though he was not proficient in shield martial techniques, his reflexes were swift.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The grass blades showered onto Tang Tian and thundered into the Blood Rush Shield, giving out an ear piercing shrill. Tang Tian was astonished at not just the strength of the grass blades, but also their power.

Scarecrow was initially worried when he saw Tang Tian holding up the shield, but the feeling soon dissipated. Using a shield to protect yourself against [Grass Needle]? What wishful thinking!

[Grass Needle] was a sixth ranked Wood element Martial Technique.

Wood element Martial Techniques were split mainly into 2 types. The first was the Medical Martial Technique and the other was Combat Martial Technique, which emphasized on killing and injuring the opponents. The Wood Medical Martial Technique required attention to details while the Wood Combat Martial Techniques were an intriguing combination of skills.

With a wave of his hand, Scarecrow changed the attack formation using the grass blades. The blades swirled from Tang Tian’s side and began to fire at his rear.

Tang Tian was caught by the surprise attack. Sai Lei was now in the line of attack.

“Cover your head and duck down!”

Tang Tian cried out to Sai Lei as Sai Lei, with a face drained pale due to the initial shock, frantically ducked down.

Once Sai Lei ducked down, it reduced Tang Tian’s areas to focus on defensively.

The grass blades engulfed the sky. Tang Tian, who was wielding the Blood Rush Shield, was so strong defensively that he was able to shield Sai Lei and himself from the onslaught.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The hair raising metallic screech of needles scrapping on to the Tang Tian’s shield was incessant.

Scarecrow was surprised. Though the power of the grass blades were not enormous, it was not small either, almost similar to the 5 ranked flying needle’s true power. But the combined power of the thousands of grass blades should have felled any opponents. Yet, Tang Tian had the strength to fend off these attacks without ever lowering his shield and without taking a breather. What strength he possessed!

Scarecrow eyes brightened. He was impressed by Tang Tian’s enormous strength.

Scarecrow secretly twitched his finger. With that motion, his inner strength was quietly transferred and infused with a few grass blades, which created a greenish-blue layer covering their surface. The blades floated down from his body and combined with the other grass blades that were surrounding him.

Tang Tian, who was still wielding his shield for protection, suddenly had a feeling in his heart.

Before Tang Tian could react, several grass blades that were shot at him were not sticking onto his shield. These grass blades started to break down, releasing a green liquid which stuck onto the surface of the shield.

Tang Tian could feel that his shield grew heavy, and it was now much more sluggish when he wielded it.

Not good!

Suddenly, thousands of fine threads started to stick out from the green liquid that was stuck on Tang Tian’s shield and started to link up with the thousands of needle-like grass blades that were floating around.

Though the force of the individual flying grass blade was not strong, but its sheer numbers, when combined together, created a much stronger force. If it was not for Tang Tian’s natural godlike strength, he would have been beaten by the combined force of the grass blades.

Furthermore, these grass blades had minds on their own, launching sneak attacks on Tang Tian when he was not looking.

Tang Tian was in peril. Ding Ding Ding, several of the grass blades managed to slip past Tang Tian’s shield defensive parameter, piercing deeply into the floor inches away from Sai Lei’s feet. As Sai Lei looked at the tiny holes caused by the grass blades, her face immediately turned pale and her mind turned blank.

I have just discovered a sea of Star Coins…

I don’t want to die!

I must not die!

Sai Lei was shivering as she took out from the Aquarius Martial Cabinet 3 metallic spheres that were shaped like walnuts, displaying shiny rays of light.

“Eh? What is that?”

The entire warehouse was under the control of Scarecrow. Any details happening inside the warehouse could not escape his view. The 3 spheres caught his attention.

The 3 rolling sphere suddenly exploded, turning into 3 mini mechanical beasts. They were a bronze squirrel, a bronze turtle and a bronze mountain goat. All 3 beats were very minute, only the size of a person’s palm, and their bodies were covered in elaborate and delicate bronze platings.

Initially the 3 beasts were puzzled, looking at each other after being summoned. After getting used to their environment, they all turned their heads towards Scarecrow.

Rays of faint light suddenly lit up from the eyes of all 3 beasts.
