Chapter 1235 Overwhelming Martial Might, Shaking the Ancient Four Saints
Before the smoke and dust had even cleared, two mechanical beasts, resembling nimble monkeys, instantly rushed out and began frantically searching through the wreckage. Zhao Jijiu, his face filled with grief, kept muttering:
"Please...please make sure nothing happens to you..."
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the large, black, upside-down bowl that had been covering Gu Xiu had disappeared.
Gu Xiu remained seated cross-legged in the same spot, his body spotless.
The shattered star that had originally transformed into a giant black bowl to protect him had now shrunk to the size of a palm, covered in dust, lying motionless on the ground, looking exactly like the previous Carefree Pendant and Immortal Crossing Sword, now an inanimate object.
"Ha, like an ant trying to shake a tree."
The old woman was clearly not surprised by this situation.
With a cold laugh, she stepped forward and walked towards the Shattered Star. As she walked, her chest, which had been shattered by the Immortal Crossing Sword, slowly began to recover, accompanied by the sound of machinery clicking.
but.
Just as she was about to reach the broken star, the old woman seemed to sense something, took a step and dodged to the side, then blocked with her gloved hands.
"Dang~!"
With a loud bang, the domineering halberd was blocked by that palm, but the fierce killing intent on it did not subside in the slightest. The terrifying power even caused the old woman's two arms to bend in an extremely strange way.
Upon seeing the halberd, the old woman's face instantly turned icy cold as she looked at the newcomer: "Lord of Wuwei City, do you dare to stop me?"
"You old hag, you came to my Wuwei City and injured my great hero. I not only dare to stop you, I also dare to kill you!" The Wuwei City Lord snorted angrily, and his halberd suddenly turned, the blade aimed at the old woman's head, and then without hesitation, he slashed it sideways.
The old woman reacted extremely quickly. Knowing she couldn't block the halberd strike, she suddenly lowered her body and narrowly dodged it. She didn't dare to attack immediately, but instead rolled away to create distance.
Fortunately, she did not try to take credit, because the moment she dodged, the spot where she was standing was directly cleaved in two by the halberd.
"Stop! Are you really crazy?" the old woman exclaimed in alarm.
But the city lord of Wuwei had no intention of continuing the conversation with her.
Missing his first strike, he instantly took a step forward and appeared in front of the old woman in the next instant, his domineering halberd already slashing diagonally with immense force.
“Sizzle~!”
With a piercing sound, the old woman was sent flying backward, but half of her shoulder was cut off, leaving only some parts still connected to her body. If she had been any slower, her shoulder and head would have been split open.
Even so, the Lord of Wuwei City still did not stop.
With another step, he was once again above and in front of the old woman, his halberd already cleaving down with force.
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
The old woman snorted angrily, and the terrifying mechanical giant instantly transformed into tentacles that directly entangled Duke Wuwei, even binding his arm tightly.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the old woman transformed, turning from a human into a spider-like monster, its several legs carrying her swiftly away. In the instant she was gone, the City Lord of Wuwei blazed with golden light, severing the tentacles binding him and launching another pursuit.
His terrifying power terrified the old woman. She hurriedly continued to mobilize her mechanical beasts to defend herself while frantically creating distance, repeatedly saying:
"You, as the lord of Wuwei City, dare to attack me? Do you intend to declare war on my Mo Family's Divine Path?"
"You have offended the Mohist Divine Path. Even the Military Divine Path cannot protect you. Even if you abandon Wuwei City, you will still not escape death in the end. Have you really thought this through?"
She tried to persuade her.
But Duke Wuwei seemed not to hear her words at all, and just kept chasing after her. The old woman's face turned dark, but she could only continue to persuade him.
"Lord Wuwei, wait! Let's talk this out!"
“I know you want to protect Wuwei City. If you give up now, I can petition the Grand Master to send an elite Mo family force to help you preserve Wuwei City as much as possible. What do you think?”
These words finally had some effect. The Duke of Wuwei, who had been relentlessly pursuing the Duke like a mad dog, finally stopped. His domineering eyes held a chilling sense of oppression.
Even without speaking, the terrifying power of the mountain still filled the old woman with dread.
Damn!
Wasn't it said that his time was coming to an end?
Why is their strength still so terrifying?
"Speak, is there anything you want to say before you die?"
"Lord Wuwei, you are a half-saint of the God of War, and I am indeed no match for you in a one-on-one fight, but do you think it's so easy to kill me?!"
"Considering you are a half-saint of the Mohist school, I can give you the opportunity to leave your last words. If you don't want to leave any, that's fine too." Duke Wuwei was domineering and boundless. As he spoke, the halberd in his hand once again shone with golden light.
"and many more!"
Seeing that he was about to attack again, the old woman hurriedly spoke up: "I only want to take a few magical treasures that should belong to our Mo family's divine path. Is it necessary for you to be so aggressive?"
"It seems you don't realize the seriousness of the problem." Duke Wuwei snorted coldly, flicking his halberd, and the domineering power that seemed capable of splitting mountains and rivers struck again.
The old woman could only flee in panic, but just as she managed to escape, she saw Duke Wuwei attack again. The old woman cursed inwardly, but could only feign submission:
"Lord Wuwei, you and my Mo family's divine path have always had a good relationship, and we have no enmity. We can talk things out, there's no need to kill each other like this!"
"You want to talk this out properly?"
"miss you!"
"Alright then." Duke Wuwei finally stopped and said coldly, "Return the magic treasures you took, restore the other two magic treasures, and finally apologize to young friend Gu and beg for forgiveness."
"What did you say?" The old woman was stunned, looking at Duke Wuwei in disbelief: "You're going to fall out with our Mohist Divine Path for some ant from the Vast Universe? Is that really necessary?"
"No need."
"then you……"
"But what does killing you have to do with falling out with the Mohist divine path?"
"You...!" Seeing that Duke Wuwei was about to make another move, the old woman hurriedly said, "This is the Grand Master's order. This boy's magic weapon is something that the Grand Master values highly, and it is of great importance to our Mohist divine way."
Duke Wuwei frowned: "I think Mo Yi'an has made a fool of himself in taking on this position of Grand Master. He dares to bully the people of Wuwei City and sends such a good-for-nothing as you."
These words were quite blunt, but the old woman dared not provoke them, and could only stammer:
"I will immediately summon the Mohist disciples from the nearest Fengxiao City, Fengyi City, and Sihuo City to Wuwei City. Whether you, Wuwei City Lord, want to defend the city or transfer the manpower in the city, the Mohist disciples from these three cities will do their best to help you."
"In exchange for your help, Duke Wuwei, I hope you will not prevent me from carrying out the Grand Master's orders."
What do you think...?
"Not good." Duke Wuwei shook his head forcefully: "I have no objection to sending people to help, but trying to harm my little brother Gu is impossible."
"He's just a cultivator from the Vast Universe, and he's already an enemy of our Three Enclosures and Sinful Sea. Are you really going to such lengths for someone like him?" the old woman asked unwillingly, her face full of confusion.
What puzzled her even more was that the Wuwei City Lord calmly replied, "Gu Xiu is the future city lord of Wuwei City. If you want to touch him, you are making an enemy of Wuwei City."
"Why? Why exactly?"
"If it weren't for him, my Wuwei City would have been destroyed long ago. Why do you think that is?"
"you……!"
The old woman was truly helpless, because she could see the determination in Wuwei Gong's tone; it was clear that there was no room for negotiation.
That being the case...
The old woman glanced at Sui Xing, who had collapsed in front of Gu Xiu, out of the corner of her eye, and made a plan. The Grand Master's mission had to be completed, and since the Duke of Wuwei was so resolute, she had no choice but to resort to some means.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
The old woman gritted her teeth, her face full of resentment, and strode toward Gu Xiu. But as soon as she took a step, she saw the Fangtian Halberd blocking her way. The old woman was nervous, but her expression remained unchanged: "Didn't you want me to restore his three magic weapons? I have to find them first."
Duke Wuwei frowned, but still put away his halberd and did not stop him. However, he took a step and appeared in front of Gu Xiu.
Seeing how protective he was, the old woman cursed inwardly, but she also knew that she had no chance to make a move against Gu Xiu.
Fortunately.
The forging platform called Shattered Star is still there.
As she approached the Broken Star, the old woman glanced at the lifeless forging platform and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
"A magic weapon is ultimately just a magic weapon. Before my methods, all weapon spirits will eventually have to submit obediently."
"I will gladly accept these three treasures!"
Thinking of this, the old woman immediately bent down, grabbed the Shattered Star and the Immortal Crossing Sword in her hands, and the next moment, countless mechanical beasts, each the size of a sparrow, instantly swarmed towards Duke Wuwei.
This method was impossible to defend against. Even a half-saint like Duke Wuwei was caught off guard and fell into the trap. He could only protect Gu Xiu. After the obstacle in front of him was cleared away, he saw that the old woman had grown wings on her back and flew into the sky.
Duke Wuwei intended to give chase, but the dense array of mechanical beasts held him back, forcing him to watch helplessly as his opponent flew away, accompanied by that chilling, piercing voice:
"Lord of Wuwei City, this time, you have completely severed ties with the Mo Family's Divine Path!"
"The next time we meet will be the time of your death!"
Damn!
The Lord of Wuwei City gritted his teeth, wanting to give chase but also worried about leaving Gu Xiu alone there, thus finding himself in a dilemma.
But at this moment.
But then, the old woman, who had already flown far away, suddenly emitted a muffled thud, followed by a scream. Her body, which was made of mechanical art, exploded in mid-air like fireworks.
Amidst the bursting fireworks, Shattered Star stood atop the Immortal-Crossing Sword, flying back. The enormous, black hand that had materialized was grabbing the old woman's head and pulling her back, howling as it flew:
"You old hag, with a brain like yours, you think you can capture the Four Sages of Ancient Times? Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror to see if you're even cut out for it!"
"Tell you."
"You're dead today, hehehe!"
