In an instant, only a dozen level 39 puppets were left on the battlefield.
"Stop him!"
Lin Yun shouted in a low voice as he charged towards the casting puppet. After releasing that ray of light, it would be the best opportunity to attack, or it would be better to say that it was the best opportunity to dismantle it.
He would be letting himself down if he didn't dismantle a casting puppet with the ability to strengthen spells.
As Lin Yun rapidly approached, that dual-wielding puppet immediately abandoned Laibo and chased after Lin Yun.
Laibo sneered and a wisp of white light appeared on the edge of his black sword. His body instantly disappeared and he sent a dozen Aura Slashes in a row.
The boomerang-like Aura Slashes revolved around the dual-wielding puppet and intercepted it. A huge deathly still aura burst out and greatly slowed the dual-wielding puppet's speed. The light of the Lightning Speed Rune on its forehead seemed to be corroded by that deathly still aura and slowly dimmed.
On the other side, Lin Yun had already approached that casting puppet. Anderfa's Elemental Storm and Syudos' Flood of Flames were the first to rush over and suppress that guy that could burst out at any time.
Lin Yun kept spitting out law runes and these law runes transformed into a flood that imprinted themselves on that puppet's body. Strange patterns appeared along with these law runes.
The puppet's mana kept resisting, but its speed couldn't keep up with Lin Yun's law runes. The huge number of law runes instantly submerged that casting puppet.
The law runes first cut off the mana supply to its arms, before cutting off its limbs, before finally cutting off its torso. All the mana was forcibly suppressed in the mana reactor by relying on its huge power. After cutting off the puppet's control over its body, Lin Yun put his hand on it.
After three seconds, the alchemy puppet exploded, and its components scattered on the ground.
Laibo, who was fighting in the distance, couldn't help shivering when he saw this scene. That dual-wielding puppet's sword slashed at his Battle Aura Armor and a crack appeared on his gray Battle Aura Armor. The clothes he was wearing also had a tear cut open.
'What the hell, that guy actually dismantled a Heaven Rank Puppet with his bare hands. Is there a puppet that can't be dismantled by that guy?
'He's only a 9th Rank Archmage … What the hell, are the people outside really that frightening?
'Even if the others aren't as terrifying as that guy, they shouldn't be too far off. No good, I have to persuade the Abbot to end his seclusion this time no matter what!
Lin Yun finished the battle so quickly and dismantled the most threatening casting puppet into a pile of components. Laibo no longer needed to focus most of his attention on that casting puppet and instead focused on resisting the dual-wielding puppet.
The power of a 2nd Rank Heaven powerhouse simply wasn't something that a 1st Rank Heaven Puppet could resist. Especially Laibo's deathless aura, it had a huge restriction on these guys.
The fighting style of the Secret Monastery wasn't very strong in defense, but they were very good at blocking. Up until now, the dual-wielding puppet's attack had only hit Laibo once when he was distracted.
The berserk deathless aura burst out and the surrounding elemental power and mana became still. After the dual-wielding puppet entered within ten meters of Laibo, its speed clearly decreased, and after the deathless aura hit it, its mana flow slowed down. The rune on its forehead was also affected by the deathless aura and slowly darkened. The dual-wielding puppet's speed kept slowing down.
After half a minute, Laibo's Aura Return Slash hit the dual-wielding puppet three times in a row. In an instant, the rune on that puppet's forehead thoroughly extinguished and the Lightning Speed effect thoroughly disappeared. Laibo's black sword came from a crafty angle and stabbed into a crack in the dual-wielding puppet's neck. With a flick of his wrist, the longsword pierced through.
In an instant, the dual-wielding puppet's head was sent flying and the grey deathless aura rapidly infected the dual-wielding puppet's entire body.
In less than three seconds, the puppet's energy output became deathly still. Apart from the mana reactor still maintaining its activity, all the components of its body sank into deathly stillness and could no longer move.
As for the puppet's control center, it was also infected by the deathly still aura. Those scarlet crystal eyes flickering with light suddenly turned deathly still and the control system completely stagnated.
At this time, Lin Yun walked over from behind and single-handedly dismantled the puppet.
All the puppets had been eliminated, turned into scrap iron, or dismantled into components. The entire battle didn't take more than three minutes.
Lin Yun put away all the dismantled components, especially the components of the two Heaven Puppets. He had to carefully study the ability runes on these two puppets and look for the possibility of transplanting them.
In the future, many alchemists proficient in puppeteering would research this. In the Puppet Plane, the loser of a battle between puppets might lose a special rune, while the winner would transplant the opponent's special rune onto their own body.
But human alchemists simply couldn't transplant that rune. After the puppet died, that rune only had research value and couldn't be transplanted. Later, there were successful transplants, but they couldn't display their full power.
For this reason, some people once attacked the Puppet Plane in order to obtain the method to transplant those puppets, but unfortunately, nothing came of it.
Because in the future, the development of alchemy focused on large-scale weapons, mana crystal cannons, magic battleships, and large-scale defensive mage towers. These were the focus of that era.
Moreover, mages' fighting strength had become even stronger, especially after the appearance of the Mana Baptism Potion. Titled Mages were like dogs and Heaven Rank powerhouses were everywhere. Who would spend the effort to create puppets that were inferior to mages?
Not to mention, the difficulty of advancing puppets to the Heaven Rank was a lot higher than mages. That technology hadn't matured until Noscent's mana started disappearing. It only had a very low success rate and its power wasn't good.
Once Lin Yun put away those components, Laibo pointed at the collapsed building.
"My junior apprentice brothers should be in the array behind this building. With my power, I should be able to forcibly tear open that array, but because I tried to forcibly attack, I triggered something and my junior apprentice brothers were poisoned. I don't know how they are now …"
Laibo had a worried expression, but Lin Yun didn't care at all.
The direction Laibo pointed at was the place where the puppets were undergoing their final tempering and debugging. Many of the puppets that could move came from that place.
According to the map, that place was a poison tempering factory, tempering some puppets' weapons with poison. According to the map, the danger of that place was second only to the easternmost part of the ruins, which was completely covered by an array.
After passing through the ruins of the building and leaving that area, they saw a dense fog shrouded in a barrier. It was filled with dark green mist and they couldn't clearly see what was inside.
There were even a few huge runes floating outside the array, and when they were within a hundred meters, the information transmitted by those runes would immediately appear in their minds.
This was a warning rune that warned everyone approaching that an accident had occurred and the poisonous mist was leaking. They were forbidden to approach before dealing with it.
Lin Yun was speechless before even reaching it. The array wasn't an offensive array, it was actually a kind of defensive array. It wasn't protecting the outside, but rather the inside. As long as the array was activated, nothing could come out. Even the air and elements would be trapped inside.
And through the light barrier, he could see the dark green mist. Lin Yun could see with a glance that it was a compound poison. He didn't know how many kinds of fatal toxins were contained within.
If it had been someone under the Heaven Rank, they would have definitely been poisoned to death. But the monsters of the Secret Monastery definitely wouldn't be poisoned to death.
But if this continued, those guys would definitely die after being trapped for half a month. Their vitality wasn't limitless, they couldn't resist forever.
"Sir Mafa, can this array be cracked? There is also the poisonous mist inside, my junior apprentice brothers wouldn't be poisoned to death, right? "
Laibo had a nervous expression. As a swordsman, he simply didn't understand these things. Recalling the previous attack, he regretted it.
Lin Yun shook his head, his expression calm.
"It's fine, it's just a small problem. This array is protecting the inside, not the outside. It's very easy to crack, but the poisonous mist will also leak out. As long as it's not an attack, this array simply doesn't have the power to resist."
After saying that, Lin Yun extended his hand and slowly touched the light membrane. Laibo's eyes widened as Lin Yun's hand easily passed through the light membrane and reached inside the array before slowly retracting.
But the retracted hand was dyed with a layer of green and a wisp of dark green mist curled up on the surface of Lin Yun's hand. The dark green mist seemed to want to spread towards Lin Yun's arm, but it was blocked by a power at his wrist.
Sensing the poisonous mist in his hand, Lin Yun frowned. The Magic Array revolved and calculated how many kinds of poisons were contained within.
"Sir Mafa, how is it? This poisonous mist … "
The power on Lin Yun's wrist slightly moved and a wisp of power swept across, instantly dispersing the poisonous mist on the surface of his palm.
"It doesn't matter, the poison is very complicated and there are many types. It would take a very long time to formulate an antidote after being poisoned. But for your Secret Monastery's people, you definitely wouldn't be poisoned to death within ten days."
Laibo sighed in relief. He didn't realize that Lin Yun's words seemed to have a deep understanding of their Secret Monastery.
"Sir Laibo, attack this array."
Laibo was startled.
"Sir Mafa, what do you want to do? I attacked before and the poisonous mist appeared …"
Lin Yun frowned.
"Sir Laibo, the poisonous mist has already transformed into a poisonous mist. No matter how you attack, nothing else will appear. I'm letting you attack to inform the people inside to approach this side. I'll break an opening in the array and let them out, but the poisonous mist will still be locked inside. If this array is forcibly destroyed, the poisonous mist will spread throughout the ruins."
Laibo awkwardly smiled and didn't dare to say anything else.
"Sir Mafa, what do you say? I don't understand …"
Laibo swung his black sword and a grey Aura Slash hit the array. The deathly still aura spread and the light within a dozen meters of the light barrier dimmed a bit. That deathly still aura definitely penetrated the array and spread inside.
Amazement flashed in Laibo's eyes as he saw this scene. Lin Yun's hand could easily pass through the light barrier, but his attack was completely blocked.
Lin Yun didn't have time to pay attention to Laibo's amazement. After observing the array for a bit, he took out a crystal pen and Star Ink and started writing runes in front of the array.
He controlled four Mana Hands and held four crystal pens. Like flowing water, it took less than three minutes for numerous runes to be written on the ground within a dozen meters.
After finishing all of this, Lin Yun didn't stop. He left an empty space at the most crucial part of the deciphering rune. The crystal pen didn't stop and instead switched to a different kind of Mana Ink. The crystal pen covered in Mana Ink kept writing on the surface of the array.
Runes condensed from mana floated in the air. All the runes were only a finger's width away from the array. At this distance, stable mana simply wouldn't trigger a reaction from the array.
After five minutes, the surface of the ten-meter-wide light barrier was covered in layers of illusory runes.
These runes were in the shape of a gate, and there was also an empty space in the center of the gate that hadn't been written.
"Sir Laibo, I'll have to trouble you to attack and confirm that they are here. This won't last long. If they don't appear within three minutes, they can only remain trapped inside."
Laibo promptly swung three small Aura Slashes at the light barrier. After a few seconds, the light barrier fluctuated once again, as if someone was attacking the light barrier from within.
Lin Yun controlled the crystal pen and wrote a few of the most important runes in the center of the deciphered runes. In an instant, the numerous runes on the ground shone with a trace of light, and the countless runes seemed to come to life. At the center, the light converged into a light blade that fell on the array's barrier.
At the same time, Lin Yun's crystal pen also wrote the last few runes on the runes. The runes formed a layer of light film that slowly attached themselves to the array's light barrier.
The light of the cracking runes tore a hole in the array's light barrier and thoroughly melted everything within four meters.
But at the same time, the light film attached to the light barrier also covered it and made up for the flaw of the light barrier. The entire array only fluctuated for a moment before thoroughly stabilizing.
At this time, Lin Yun spat out a rune and that light film was like two large doors that slowly opened. There was also a layer of weak binding power that blocked the poisonous gas within.
Panicked shouts could be heard from inside as well.
"Senior apprentice-brother Laibo, is that you? Hurry up and save us! We are poisoned and won't be able to resist for long … "
"Senior apprentice-brother Laibo, we are about to die, we are about to die …"
Laibo heard the voices inside and promptly shouted.
"Hurry up and come out, hurry up!"
After shouting, he seemed to recall something and promptly asked Lin Yun, "What's going on?
"Sir Mafa, can you come out now?"
Lin Yun silently nodded.
Immediately, five young Sword Saints stumbled out of the door of light, their entire bodies glowing green.
After these guys came out, Lin Yun immediately sealed the door and thoroughly sealed the poisonous gas inside. As long as this array had energy, the poisonous gas would be sealed inside. This ruins had been abandoned for who knew how many years, but it was still full of energy. Lin Yun wasn't worried that the poisonous gas would leak out.
After those five young Sword Saints rushed out, their lifeforce seemed to be boiling, but their skin was still dyed green and wisps of green smoke curled around their bodies. There was no smell, but it carried a terrifying poison. Their clothes were corroded beyond recognition, and even their weapons were infected by the poison.
Four of them were paralyzed on the ground, rousing their deathless aura with all their strength to resist the poison. The lifeforce within their bodies also seemed to be burning as it kept repairing their poison-corroded bodies.
There was also one whose skin had turned dark green and his breath carried a wisp of dark green. The lifeforce burning on his body kept weakening and the deathless aura's power was also weakening.
The deathless aura's deathly still power was suppressing them, and with the resistance of their huge lifeforce, they were barely able to resist. Once their lifeforce was exhausted and their deathless aura was also exhausted, no one would be able to save them. The suppressed poison would erupt like a volcano and destroy their bodies.
"Senior apprentice-brother Laibo, save me, I can't resist anymore …"
That young man, who seemed to be less than thirty years old, was the most heavily poisoned. Now, he was relying on his remaining deathless qi and life force to resist. As for the other four, they were sitting on the ground, concentrating on circulating their deathless qi. They could continue to resist.
