Chapter 567: Energy System

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

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.

However, such a puppet monster was obviously not as complete or as strong as it had been when first created. Most of its features had already lost their function after so many years of corrosion. For example, the abilities to defend and block an immortal cultivator’s soul probe would definitely have been lost long ago.

A normal puppet monster could defend against a cultivator’s soul search and hide its internal structure as well as its energy system network. However, this puppet monster did not have that ability.

If it had just been facing an average practitioner, it would make no difference whether this puppet monster had the ability or not because most practitioners generally did not understand puppet monsters and did not have the ability to project their souls. They would not be able to find out the internal structure of the puppet monster.

That was why a puppet monster like this was enough to fight against a few practitioners.

But Mo Wen was different. He was a practitioner who could project his soul. If it did not have the ability to defend against soul probes, then Mo Wen could directly view the internal structure of the puppet monster and find where its energy system was hidden.

Indeed, Mo Wen scanned the rat-shaped puppet monster with his soul and will. There was no hindrance and he immediately found where the puppet monster’s energy system was.

He flicked his wrist and a spiritual stone appeared in Mo Wen’s hand. Then, it disappeared swiftly, turning into spiritual power and entering the Green Primordial Mirror.

The next moment, the Green Primordial Mirror shone and a ray of green and black light shot into the rat-shaped puppet monster that had been tossed into the air. It froze the puppet monster in mid-air.

At the same time, Mo Wen’s figure shimmered and he immediately appeared beside the puppet monster. He punched the monster forcefully where the energy system was.

Crash!

The sound of metal crashing rang through the garden. Yet, such a heavy blow only caused sparks to appear on the puppet monster’s body.

The metal that glinted coldly was not even dented after withstanding such a huge blow.

The corners of Mo Wen’s mouth twitched. The metal armor was still so strong after so many years. The materials that had gone into making these puppets back then were definitely not basic.

Growl! The puppet monster struggled madly in the pillar of green and black light. The stronger the force it exerted, the more the light from the Green Primordial Mirror dispersed. It seemed that it would not hold for long.

Mo Wen hummed lightly. Then, he flicked his wrist and the flying dagger spiritual weapon appeared in his hand again. He tossed it in front of him and it turned into a ray of black light. It immediately collided with where the rat-shaped puppet monster’s energy system was hidden.

Clink! There was a clear sound of metal colliding. The flying dagger spiritual weapon had both a good track record and stunning power. Now though, it rebounded. A faint scratch appeared on the rat-shaped puppet monster’s armor.

“Pervert!” Mo Wen scolded in his heart. He was aware of the sharpness and strength of the flying dagger spiritual weapon. Even the spiritual weapon could not break open the armor. What was the armor made of?

Mo Wen took a deep breath. He removed two spiritual stones from the medicine spiritual ring in one go and clutched them tightly in his hand, turning them into spiritual power. In just a moment, the two spiritual stones were completely transformed into spiritual power. The speed of the transformation was so fast that even practitioners at the peak of the Golden Elixir realm would have been shocked.

He imbued all the spiritual power into the flying dagger spiritual weapon. The flying dagger’s shine increased greatly. The dark rays of light enveloped the entire pool.

Whoosh! The dark light dimmed and the spiritual dagger turned into a black line and pierced into the rat-shaped puppet monster swiftly.

Hiss! A small hole appeared in the armor of the rat-shaped puppet monster. A dark flying dagger had pierced an inch down and then was stuck in the puppet’s body, unable to move another inch.

Such an impact could only leave an inch-deep hole on the rat-shaped puppet monster. The defensive ability of the rat-shaped puppet monster was really quite scary.

Luckily, the energy system was not hidden deeply. An inch was sufficient to damage it a little, causing the energy supply to halt completely. The rat-shaped puppet monster that was trapped in mid-air stopped struggling immediately. It was suspended in the green and black pillar of light like a dead object.

Mo Wen heaved a deep sigh of relief. There was a bit of sweat on his forehead. He was a little tired from activating two spiritual stones in one attack. If he could not damage the rat-shaped puppet monster like this, then he seemed to have no other choice than to use his special treasures.

Crash! Mo Wen waved his hand and the Green Primordial Mirror that was suspended in mid-air immediately flew back to him. Having lost the binding of the green and black light pillar, the rat-shaped puppet monster immediately fell down from mid-air and smashed onto the ground viciously like a pile of waste metal.

Not far away, Jin Ying looked in the direction of Mo Wen in surprise. Mo Wen had been losing earlier, how was it that he had gotten rid of the rat-shaped puppet monster in the blink of an eye! Even though she had not fought puppet monsters before, from seeing how Yin Banshuang was dealing with the monkey-shaped puppet monster, she could tell that these puppet monsters were not easy to defeat.

Indeed, Yin Banshuang had been on the losing end since she started fighting with the monkey-shaped puppet monster. It was not that the puppet monster was very strong, but its defensive abilities were too good. It was not damaged no matter how Yin Banshuang attacked. One could imagine how annoying it was to face an indomitable enemy.
