Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 366



Chapter 366

Yuen Yau narrowed his eyes and replied in a low voice, “Amitabha. This must be Benefactor Kam Chin Kee from the Cloud Palace outer sect. This monk has heard about Benefactor’s unique puppet skills, and Yuen Yau is honoured to have the chance to go against Benefactor.” 


“Well, actually I’ve already made a move,” Kam Chin Kee answered with a bashful smile. 


This made Yuen Yau’s face fall as he turned around abruptly. To his horror, seven of his peers had dropped to the ground, unconscious. Yuen Yau then watched them be surrounded by blood-coloured light before vanishing into thin air.


Kam Chin Kee waved his hands and passed the blood intent from the disciples he defeated to Chui Yim and the rest. 


Pff pff pff…


Within the bloody mist, the blue shadows were more striking than ever!


It took no more than a few seconds for the Apex Temple group which started with about twenty disciples to be left with three. 


This was the first time the Chor Wong On trio witnessed Kam Chin Kee during a fight; they previously only heard stories about it. They couldn’t help but stare at Kam Chin Kee in horror, hearts sinking as they repeatedly weighed their capability to counter the other’s attack. 


As blood intent surged into Chui Yim and the trio’s bodies, Chor Kwong Laan spoke up, “This is your blood intent, why did you give it to us?” 


“Their group is much larger than ours, we have more than enough to spare,” Kam Chin Kee laughed. “The remaining three disciples are mine. You guys make your way up first, I’ll catch up later.” 


Yuen Yau turned red hearing Kam Chin Kee. 


All of this proved that he was an outstanding teenage cultivator, thus he secretly looked down on Kam Chin Kee, the boy who practised unpopular skills whom he heard so many mighty stories about. To him, the true way of cultivation was gliphism! 


But it took no more than a short meeting that only consisted of greetings for Kam Chin Kee to crush his confidence. Kam Chin Kee never feared group battles, and with his unique puppet skills, he took out all the weak disciples of Apex Temple. Other than Yuen Yau, only two others were capable of narrowly escaping from his attack! 


In a flash, Kam Chin Kee single-handedly turned Yuen Yau’s group of about twenty to only three. 


Yuen Yau was no doubt greatly embarrassed. With a loud shout, brown gliph strings formed a huge hand. 




Like his appearance, On Kuet was a macho boy, just like his clan that was home to the aggressive soldiers and vanguards of the South. With a sabre on their shoulder, On Clan members were known as killing machines on the battleground. 


“Let’s go! Kam boy can do this alone, you’ll only hold him back by staying!” Of course, Chui Yim understood Kam Chin Kee’s battle style the most amongst others. 


Whoosh…


A blue and red shadow passed by. A blue wolf with the face of a monster stood next to Kam Chin Kee. The monster-faced wolf was certainly a weird being, yet the wolf standing next to Kam Chin Kee looked appropriate. This was the blue wolf puppet that the world had seen before.  


On Kam Chin Kee’s shoulder, there was a red creature raising its wings, ready to soar. It had a similar monstrous face, but unlike the wolf, it had a sharp, dark green beak. This was a bird-like puppet! 


With the blue wolf and red bird next to Kam Chin Kee, his aura rose as a gentle smile formed on his face. “Now it’s three versus three, a fair battle.” 




Heaven grade puppets were arduous to create and impossible for Kam Chin Kee to complete within a short period of time. The blue wolf and red bird were a collaborative effort between him and Chui Yim over the past few months after they returned from the Forbidden Forest. 


With Chui Yim’s matchless forging skills and Kam Chin Kee’s amazing sculpting skills, they greatly improved the blue wolf and red bird, reaching middle amber grade, something that Kam Chin Kee never thought possible to achieve. Even though the puppets were still of amber grade, the difference between low and middle amber grade was huge, symbolising the increase in the number of mechanisms, durability, and overall quality. 


Now, amongst those of Kam Chin Kee’s status, maybe only Mung Si’s Blazing Skies style that burned everything could threaten him now that he owned two middle amber grade puppets. 


“Go,” Kam Chin Kee muttered, the puppets going for the other two Apex Temple disciples immediately. Other than Yuen Yau, who was a gliphist, the two other disciples were gliphers. 


In truth, there weren’t many gliphists from Apex Temple, and rumour had it that most skills Mute got from the ancient tomb were skills to boost one’s physical body, and Mute himself was a powerful glipher. His famous defence gliphility, Golden Bell Shield, was one of the best gliphilities in the North and could take an attack from five-chambered or thousand-gliphic cultivators. 


As Apex Temple disciples, Yuen Yau’s junior brothers certainly did well in strengthening their bodies. They did not dodge the puppets that were coming for them as they had high confidence in their bodies. 


It was said that Apex Temple’s body training methods were cruel and painful, but they were also the reason why its disciples were mostly stronger than cultivators of the same rank. As they activated their energliph, their skin turned bronze.  josei


Kam Chin Kee heard about them too. The bronze skin was no special body type but an ancient body strengthening skill that was comparable to special body types. 


It was separated into a few grades: bronze skin, metal bones, and golden body. 


The disciple’s physical body would improve every time they reached a new rank. Yuen Yau’s junior brothers were indeed some of the best disciples of their institution, considering they could achieve the bronze skin state before the age of eighteen. 


It was just that… puppets weren’t living things, only acting how Kam Chin Kee controlled them. Therefore, the puppets did not dodge either, going right at the disciples with bronze skin and heavy energliph surrounding them, clashing head-on with them! 


“Naive!” The gliphers sneered. Putting aside puppets, while in their bronze skin state, they could even escape huge boulders rolling down a mountain unharmed! Moreover, they were disciples of Apex Temple, so, of course, they would have defence gliphilities of their own that were so powerful even Yuen Yau would need some time to take them down!
