Chapter 608 Fighting Against Puppets (1/2)
Facing the siege of so many high-level Sky Human stage cultivators, the Human Immortal, Jiang Feng, began suffering from more and more injuries. He was gradually losing ground.
Weng!
Suddenly, Qing Zhifeng brought out a small bronze bell. It was also a Sacred artefact. However, it was a soul-type offensive weapon. After the bronze bell was struck, soundwaves spread towards Jiang Feng.
“Soul attack!” Jiang Feng wanted to dodge. However, he had no time to do that and the soundwaves struck him. Both his eyes fell into a dazed state and his movements faltered again.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Various magic treasures flew out to furiously strike Jiang Feng.
Bang!
Chen Feng’s Heaven Measuring Ruler was the fastest to arrive and it struck Jiang Feng’s chest, causing him to cough out blood as his figure was knocked back. However, Jiang Feng rapidly recollected himself. His figure darted around, dodging around while displaying his sword techniques to block the attacks.
Although he managed to block most of the attacks, several attacks had still managed to hit him.
Again and again, Jiang Feng was beaten to the point of puking blood and there was no way to tell just how many of his bones had been broken. As Jiang Feng dodged all the incoming attacks, he secretly wept. He hadn’t fallen into such a wretched state before, not since rising up to the Human Immortal stage. At that very moment, however, a group of minor fellows at the Sky Human stage was actually trying to kill him. In fact, judging by the current situation, they might actually succeed.
Weng!
Jiang Feng gripped a jade talisman, crushing breaking it. Next, light flared out from his body to form a thick barrier, which stopped all of the attacks. At the same time, Jiang Feng also brought out the half-section Cloud Map. Instantly, the Cloud Map brought forth the wind and energy streams surged. Rays of light shone about and a three-zhang-tall spatial portal appeared within the palace hall.
Sou!
Jiang Feng’s figure darted forward, disappearing into the spatial portal.
“That’s the passageway leading to the second floor of this palace!”
“Let’s go!”
“Chase him!”
“There are so many good items on the first floor. If so, there must be even more on the second floor.”
Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!
They moved quickly, rushing into the spatial portal. Soon enough, the entire palace hall returned to a state of tranquillity.
Not long after that, a ripple spread out across the palace hall again and a group of cultivators, escorting a youngster, entered.
“Young Master, there were others in here before us.”
“I can see that. This should be the first floor of the palace. A pity, everything here has been taken. Come, let’s follow them. We are the last to arrive. We must not end up with nothing.”
Next, the Young Master led the others into the spatial portal.
After stepping into the spatial portal, Chen Feng found himself inside a secret chamber. Besides him, however, there was only one other figure, a humanoid puppet made from metal. It shone with a metallic lustre while an overbearing power spilled out from its body.
“This is?” Chen Feng was somewhat puzzled. He did not understand what was happening.
“Defeat me and you will have the chance to obtain treasures,” the metal puppet suddenly said. Moreover, it leapt up right after saying that, throwing a punch at Chen Feng.
It talked, jumped and punched. All three moves were done in quick succession and the fist flew forward with extreme swiftness. It gave Chen Feng no time to consider anything.
In the face of the metal puppet’s attack, Chen Feng did not let his guard down. Even though he could not sense the metal puppet’s energy fluctuations, Chen Feng had this foreboding sensation. He knew he could not allow the punch to land.
Bang!
Chen Feng threw out a punch of his own. His fist smashed against the metal puppet’s fist, causing the metal puppet to tumbled through the air as its body hurtled backwards. Then, it slammed heavily against the secret chamber’s wall with a resounding boom. Chen Feng, on the other hand, had to take several steps back and he felt his arm aching. There was a slight sensation of pain in his fist.
Impressive. There is a force of over 15 million kilogrammes behind its punch. What level of combat puppet is this? Chen Feng was surprised and he shook his hand. The aching sensation disappeared and his hand recovered.
The metal puppet flipped itself back to its feet, seemingly unaffected by the earlier punch. It continued to attack Chen Feng. This time, the attack it unleashed was different from the previous one. The combat puppet’s arm abruptly shook and waves of energy pushed down against Chen Feng, giving him a suffocating feeling.
It is actually capable of using secret offensive techniques. Chen Feng was surprised. This combat puppet was much stronger than the one he had acquired in the past. The Puppet Crafting Technique that he acquired then was only an Earthen-tier technique. According to the descriptions on the manual, the strongest combat puppet he could craft out would only be similar to this one he was facing. However, he had yet to begin studying the Puppet Crafting Technique.
In the past, before overcoming his tribulation, Chen Feng would have needed to use his Sacred artefacts to deal with this metal puppet. However, things were different now. His own strength alone was enough to beat this metal puppet back.
After beating back the metal puppet yet again, Chen Feng finally grew impatient. He waved his hand and the Immortal-binding Rope flew out to tie up the metal puppet. No matter how hard the metal puppet tried to struggle against the rope, it was to no avail.
