Although Jin Ying was not an immortal cultivator, she knew a little about the matters of immortal cultivators. She was very experienced.
She did not barge around randomly. Instead, she looked at her feet and found the footprints that Mo Wen and Yin Banshuang had taken. Then, she followed their path and walked towards the center of the garden step by step.
With the experience of those before her, she did not touch a single prohibition along the way. She easily walked to the center of the pool.
Right now, Mo Wen and Yin Banshuang were already fighting with two Puppet Beasts.
The ape-shaped Puppet Beast that Yin Banshuang was facing was skilled in strength. The rat-shaped Puppet Beast that Mo Wen was facing was skilled in speed. In terms of ability, the two were about the same. However, the rat-shaped Puppet Beast was clearly a little more difficult to deal with.
Fortunately, there were no prohibitions in the large area around the pool. Otherwise, such a huge battle would definitely cause a chain reaction among the prohibitions.
Whoosh!
The rat-shaped Puppet Beast was extremely agile. After it easily dodged Mo Wen's punch, it turned into a dozen afterimages in the air with a whoosh. In an instant, it appeared in front of Mo Wen. Five sharp blades that were two feet long suddenly shot out from its seemingly short and small claws. They shone with a cold light.
Mo Wen's silhouette flickered and he narrowly dodged the rat-shaped Puppet Beast's claws. Before he could stabilize himself, the five sharp claws shot out like five sharp arrows, viciously shooting towards Mo Wen's throat, heart, head, and other vital points. Ding!
Ding! Ding!
A black flying dagger appeared in Mo Wen's hand. With a gentle flick, it became a beam of black light and directly blocked three of the claws. The other two missed and flew past Mo Wen.
Then, the two sharp blades that missed actually circled around and silently attacked again, heading straight for Mo Wen's back.
Mo Wen's senses were very sharp. He immediately noticed that something was wrong behind him. Without thinking, he flipped over and sent out a punch.
A sharp blade collided with Mo Wen's fist that was glowing with golden light. The sharp blade immediately bounced back. However, the terrifying force sent Mo Wen flying backwards.
The rat-shaped Puppet Beast seemed to have been waiting for this moment. A bewitching purple light flashed in its eyes. With a whoosh, it shot out, furiously crashing into Mo Wen's back as he flew backwards.
Everything had been calculated perfectly. At this moment, it was as though the Puppet Beast was in control of the situation. With Mo Wen's current condition, it seemed impossible for him to block the rat-shaped Puppet Beast's attack.
Jin Ying, who had just walked over, raised her eyebrows as she stood nearby. She was thinking about whether or not to rescue him. However, Mo Wen's body strangely stopped in mid-air. It was as though time had suddenly stopped. A person who was retreating at high speed stopped in an instant.
Two swirls, one black and one gold, appeared around Mo Wen, surrounding him within the swirls.
The Heaven and Earth Great Shift was a peerless martial art that could control the rhythm of a battle. At this moment, it naturally displayed its ability.
With the control ability of The Heaven and Earth Great Shift, Mo Wen easily controlled his own body.
However, at this moment, the rat-shaped Puppet Beast had already crashed over, crashing viciously into the gold and black swirls.
The ferocious crash seemed to be able to carve a hole in a mountain. However, the two colored swirls did not seem to be affected by the force at all. They spun slightly and diverted a large portion of the rat-shaped Puppet Beast's power. Only a small portion of the power that crashed into Mo Wen's body was used.
At this moment, Mo Wen had already adjusted himself. He immediately sent out a punch, colliding with the rat-shaped Puppet Beast. The punch sent the metal monster flying.
After all, the Puppet Beast was just a Puppet Beast. Perhaps it had some combat instincts, but it did not know how to use its power. It only knew how to use brute force to kill its enemies. When it encountered a martial art like The Heaven and Earth Great Shift, it was naturally more restricted than ordinary ancient martial art practitioners.
The instant the rat-shaped Puppet Beast flew out, a small mirror appeared in Mo Wen's hand. It was the Green Primordial Mirror.
The metal armor on the Puppet Beast's body was not ordinary steel. Instead, it was a special metal that had been refined by immortal cultivators. Although it had been corroded by time and the defense of the metal armor was far weaker than before, with Mo Wen's ability, he most likely would not be able to break through such armor.
It was almost impossible to destroy such a Puppet Beast when fighting it. With the abilities of the few ancient martial art practitioners, it was impossible at all.
There were only two ways to deal with such a thing. One was to continuously fight with the Puppet Beast until its energy system was depleted. The other was to destroy the Puppet Beast's energy system and interrupt its energy output.
The first method was obviously not feasible. These Puppet Beasts had a history of thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Even after such a long time, their energy had not been depleted. They did not know how long it would take for them to deplete the energy of the Puppet Beasts.
As for the second method, it was actually not easy either. After all, the immortal cultivators who refined the Puppet Beasts had naturally thought of this possibility. Hence, the energy system of the Puppet Beasts was definitely protected with the utmost care. It was not easy to find the network of the energy system of a Puppet Beast, let alone destroy it.
However, such a Puppet Beast was clearly not a complete Puppet Beast. After so many years of corrosion, most of the functions of the Puppet Beasts had almost lost their effectiveness. For example, when refining the Puppet Beasts, the defense and shielding functions of the immortal cultivators' Deified Soul Detection must have lost their effectiveness long ago.
Normal Puppet Beasts could defend against the Deified Soul Detection of the immortal cultivators, thus hiding their internal structure and the network of the energy system. However, the Puppet Beasts here clearly did not have this ability.
If it was a simple ancient martial art practitioner, the Puppet Beast would have no difference whether it had this ability or not. This was because ancient martial art practitioners usually did not understand Puppet Beasts. At the same time, they did not have the ability to release their Deified Soul Detection. It was impossible for them to inspect the internal structure of the Puppet Beast.
Hence, such a Puppet Beast was more than enough to deal with a few ancient martial art practitioners.
However, Mo Wen was different. He was an ancient martial art practitioner with the ability to release his Deified Soul Detection. If the Puppet Beast did not have the ability to defend against Deified Soul Detection, he could directly see the internal structure of the Puppet Beast and find the hidden location of the energy system of the Puppet Beast.
As expected, Mo Wen's Deified Soul Detection enveloped the rat-shaped Puppet Beast. There was no obstruction at all. He immediately found the location of the Puppet Beast's energy system.
With a flick of his wrist, a spiritual stone appeared in Mo Wen's hand. Then, it quickly disappeared, turning into spiritual power that was infused into the Green Primordial Mirror.
The next moment, the Green Primordial Mirror flashed. A beam of greenish-black light shot towards the rat-shaped Puppet Beast that had been sent flying. It immediately froze the Puppet Beast in mid-air.
At the same time, Mo Wen's silhouette flashed. In an instant, he appeared beside the rat-shaped Puppet Beast. He viciously punched a spot on the rat-shaped Puppet Beast's body. That spot was where the energy system was located.
Crash!
The sound of metal colliding resounded throughout the garden. However, such a heavy blow only caused some sparks on the body of the Puppet Beast.
The metal, which shone with a cold light, did not show any signs of sinking even after enduring such a huge force.
The corner of Mo Wen's mouth twitched. After so many years, the metal armor was actually still so hard. The materials used to refine these puppets were certainly not simple.
Roar!
The rat-shaped Puppet Beast resisted frantically in the beam of greenish-black light. The power on its body grew stronger and stronger. The beam of light released by the Green Primordial Mirror was actually dissipating bit by bit. It seemed as though it could not hold on for much longer.
Mo Wen softly snorted. With a flick of his wrist, the flying dagger spiritual weapon once again appeared in his hand. He threw it forward, and it became a beam of black light. In an instant, it crashed into the hidden location of the rat-shaped Puppet Beast's energy system.
Ding!
There was a clear sound of metal colliding. The flying dagger spiritual weapon, which had always been successful and shockingly powerful, rebounded. On the rat-shaped Puppet Beast's armor, there was actually only a very shallow scratch.
"Perverted!"
Mo Wen cursed silently. He was well aware of the sharpness of the flying dagger spiritual weapon. Even a spiritual weapon could not break through that armor. Just what material was it made of?
Mo Wen took a deep breath. He immediately took out two spiritual stones from the medicine spiritual ring. He held them tightly in his hands and frantically converted them into spiritual power. In an instant, the two spiritual stones had been completely converted into spiritual weapons. The speed of the conversion would most likely shock even an ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm.
He channeled all his spiritual power into the flying dagger spiritual weapon. The flying dagger spiritual weapon immediately shone brightly. The jet-black light enveloped the entire pool.
Whoosh!
All the jet-black light was withdrawn. The flying dagger spiritual weapon became a black line, instantly piercing into the rat-shaped Puppet Beast's body.
Pfft!
A tiny hole immediately appeared in the rat-shaped Puppet Beast's armor. A jet-black flying dagger pierced an inch into the armor. Then, it was stuck in the puppet's body, unable to move at all.
Such an attack had actually only managed to create a hole that was an inch deep in the rat-shaped Puppet Beast's body. The rat-shaped Puppet Beast's defense was truly frightening.
Fortunately, the energy system was not hidden too deeply. An inch was enough to destroy it, causing the energy supply to be completely cut off. The rat-shaped Puppet Beast that was trapped in mid-air immediately stopped struggling. It floated in the greenish-black pillar of light like a dead object.
Mo Wen heaved a sigh of relief. There was some sweat on his forehead. An attack with the power of two spiritual stones was a little too much for him to handle. If he still could not do anything to the rat-shaped Puppet Beast, then other than using a few special treasures, he had no other choice.
Rumble!
Mo Wen waved his hand and the Green Primordial Mirror that was floating in mid-air immediately flew back. Without the restraints of the greenish-black pillar of light, the rat-shaped Puppet Beast immediately fell from the sky, smashing hard onto the ground like a pile of scrap metal.
Not far away, Jin Ying looked at Mo Wen with some surprise. Just now, Mo Wen had been at a disadvantage. How was it that in the blink of an eye, he had finished off the rat-shaped Puppet Beast? Even though she had never fought with a Puppet Beast before, judging from Yin Banshuang's fight with the ape-shaped Puppet Beast, these Puppet Beasts were definitely not easy to deal with.
Indeed, Yin Banshuang had been at a disadvantage ever since she started fighting with the ape-shaped Puppet Beast. It was not that the ape-shaped Puppet Beast was very powerful, but that its defense was too strong. However, no matter how Yin Banshuang attacked, it seemed to have no effect at all. One could imagine how frustrating it was to have an enemy that could not be killed or defeated. (To be continued.)
