Chapter 760

Hit a Snag?

In the starry sky, the three Thunder Mechanical Puppet Legions surrounding Luo Feng's team instantly launched their attack. "Kill!" "Die!" Each of these mechanical puppets stood 12 meters tall, uniformly drawing the massive alloy greatswords from their backs. Immediately, they let out various roars and charged directly at Luo Feng and the other ten. Ten individuals against a million Thunder Mechanical Puppets? Being besieged by a million mechanical puppets in the cosmic starry sky, this scene alone was enough to make the inexperienced rookie 'Rock' tremble. "Charge!" roared 'Hammer,' the Yan Poluo race warrior, unleashing his World Projection to restrain the speed of the surrounding Thunder Mechanical Puppets. With a massive shield in one hand, he easily fended off their attacks. The mechanical puppets, being 12 meters tall, were too bulky for too many to attack him simultaneously, so 'Hammer' naturally blocked them with ease. One hand held the shield, the other gripped a great hammer. "Boom!" The great hammer struck a mechanical puppet's chest like lightning. *Screech*—the Thunder Mechanical Puppet's alloy chest was forcibly dented, and its entire body was sent flying. The other mechanical puppets behind it nimbly flickered, easily dodging the airborne puppet. "Rookies, use heavy attacks!" 'Hammer' of the Yan Poluo race directly transmitted to Luo Feng and Rock. "These Thunder Mechanical Puppets are all made of E9-grade alloy. It's too much effort to completely destroy their bodies, not worth it. Just use heavy attacks to shatter the precision machinery inside them. These mass-produced mechanical puppets definitely aren't built with too much expense. One hammer blow... even if the body remains intact, it'll be completely immobilized." Rock, while deploying his World Projection, wielded two battle blades. "Understood," Rock replied via telepathy. He furiously attacked the Thunder Mechanical Puppets, each blade strike carrying a peculiar vibration. When it cleaved a Thunder Mechanical Puppet, only a slight blade mark was left on its surface, seemingly unharmed. In reality, the puppet's interior was instantly shattered by the vibration. As long as they were struck, they all stood foolishly still. A whirlwind raged through the swarm of Thunder Mechanical Puppets. Wherever the whirlwind swept, chilling blade light flashed. As the blade light passed, only one-third of the struck Thunder Mechanical Puppets lost their combat capability. This was 'Cyclone,' one of the nine Sector Lord warriors, renowned as the fastest among the seven veterans of the entire team. "Cyclone, you're at a disadvantage," the Enchantress, from a distance, controlled a ring of soft water that encircled her. That soft-water-like psychic weapon easily blocked the surrounding Thunder Mechanical Puppets. "At least I'm killing more than you," Cyclone transmitted in a low voice. The numerous Sector Lord warriors easily fended off their enemies. Except for the Illusionist 'Enchantress,' the other Sector Lords were all capable of widespread slaughter. Even the Illusionist 'Wei' was controlling a Yan Shen Weapon, executing the Seventh Tier of the Yan Shen Weapon, 'One Rod Blasts Heaven and Earth.' A golden pillar, about 20 centimeters thick and 6 meters long, repeatedly slammed into the surrounding Thunder Mechanical Puppets. This move, named 'One Rod Blasts Heaven and Earth,' was a classic heavy attack. Once struck, the Thunder Mechanical Puppets naturally fell one by one. "Madman, your mastery of the Yan Shen Weapon is quite high, isn't it? Is it the Eighth Tier, 'Golden Sword Slashes the Void' level? Or even the Ninth Tier, 'capable of rivaling an Undying' level?' the Illusionist 'Wei' transmitted. Luo Feng's killing efficiency was extremely high. He was also executing the Seventh Tier of the Yan Shen Weapon, 'One Rod Blasts Heaven and Earth,' but the golden pillar he wielded carried a hazy, massive phantom image, sweeping through the surroundings repeatedly. With one roll of the Yan Shen Weapon's 'golden pillar,' dozens of Thunder Mechanical Puppets were crushed. With one sweep of the golden pillar, another circle of mechanical puppets fell. This golden pillar seemed to envelop space, appearing both heavy and ponderous. His killing efficiency... was astonishingly high. Anyone who wasn't a fool could see that to wield the Seventh Tier, 'One Rod Blasts Heaven and Earth,' to such a terrifying degree, Luo Feng's true limit was definitely not the Seventh Tier; it had to be the Eighth Tier, or even the highest, Ninth Tier! That's why the Illusionist 'Wei' spoke as he did. "This Thunder Mechanical Puppet Legion shouldn't be this weak," Luo Feng thought, easily sweeping away the surrounding mechanical puppets with his Yan Shen Weapon. "They probably have another trick up their sleeve." "Mechanical puppets are far inferior compared to Zerg warriors." "After all, mechanical puppets are just machines; one heavy attack can shatter their internal components, rendering them inoperable," Luo Feng mused. "But Zerg warriors... they are essentially living beings. And in terms of cost, Zerg warriors are far more expensive." E9-grade mechanical puppets are merely large robots made of E9-grade alloy. Perhaps a thousand E9-grade mechanical puppets combined would only equal the cost of a single E9-grade spaceship with a hundred-meter diameter. A peak Sector Lord Zerg warrior, a single one, might cost more than an E9-grade spaceship! The cost alone reveals the disparity in quality! "I'll take them, I'll take them! I'll take them all!" The Alchemist 'Poison' stood in the void, two dark green vines extending from his armor, sweeping directly through the surrounding mechanical puppets. One after another, the Thunder Mechanical Puppets lost their ability to resist after being struck and were swiftly collected into Poison's World Ring. "Everyone, after you destroy those mechanical puppets, collect them. Let the enemy feel the pain, haha! The most valuable part of these mechanical puppets is their alloy bodies. One isn't worth much, but a thousand... that's comparable to a spaceship. Ten thousand, and we'll make a huge profit!" Poison was extremely excited. "Yes, collect them," the Enchantress nodded repeatedly. "Collect them all, make him feel the pinch, and he'll retreat once he feels it. Let the enemy know... he's hit a snag!" Captain Taiwo also laughed heartily. While laughing, he cautiously observed the endless Thunder Mechanical Puppet Legion through his domain of laws. Although the mechanical puppet legion had now lost nearly ten thousand units, compared to the total number of a million across nine legions... the current loss was only 1%. In the distant, dilapidated spaceship cabin, Palati sat on an alloy chair, smiling. "They've gathered. First, trap the Undying and eliminate the nine Sector Lords. Then, focus all efforts on killing the Undying God... The slaughter begins!" In the starry sky, the expressions of the ten human Sector Lords, surrounded by a dense million-strong mechanical puppet legion, finally changed. "Captain!" "Captain, be careful!" The other team members clearly saw three thousand bolts of lightning suddenly erupt from within the million-strong Thunder Mechanical Puppet Legion, besieging Captain 'Taiwo.' These three thousand lightning bolts all contained attacks based on space laws. Countless surrounding mechanical puppets frantically absorbed the lightning, simultaneously transmitting it to the 'three thousand core puppets.' Those three thousand core Thunder Mechanical Puppets were currently attacking Taiwo. "Ah!" "Get lost!" Taiwo roared, flashing before one of the core mechanical puppets and slamming a fist into its body. Bang! The mechanical puppet was sent flying. Its E9-grade alloy exterior directly burst open, revealing the pure purple metal beneath. After the outer layer of E9-grade alloy exploded... it finally revealed its true form. A mechanical puppet forged entirely from pure purple metal. After being sent flying by an Undying God's punch, this purple metal mechanical puppet seemed completely unharmed, flying back again to join the other 2,999 core puppets in a combined assault. From a distance, Luo Feng's expression immediately changed slightly. "They're mechanical puppets forged from F8-grade pure metal Purple-C Iron Mother! It seems the three thousand core puppets attacking the captain are all F8-grade mechanical puppets. This is trouble. These high-end mechanical puppets can't be destroyed by mere heavy impact vibrations." "Purple-C Iron Mother!" "It's Purple-C Iron Mother!" "Those aren't E9-grade mechanical puppets; those are expensive F-grade mechanical puppets!" The expressions of the seven veterans all changed. Their relaxed mood vanished. A million E9-grade mechanical puppets probably only equaled the cost of a hundred F8-grade mechanical puppets... These three thousand F8-grade mechanical puppets alone were enough to easily tie down an Undying God, 'Taiwo.' "Countless ordinary mechanical puppets are absorbing energy from the Thunder Prison and transmitting it to the F8-grade mechanical puppets, allowing the three thousand F8-grade mechanical puppets to completely suppress the captain," Luo Feng observed inwardly. "Be careful, there are other F8-grade mechanical puppets!" Captain Taiwo urgently transmitted. Indeed. "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"... Countless bolts of lightning were transmitted to 800 core mechanical puppets. These 800 core mechanical puppets instantly surrounded Luo Feng and the other nine Sector Lords. Illusionist Wei and Illusionist Enchantress were each besieged by 50 core mechanical puppets. Hammer, Cyclone, Spirit, Rock... and the other seven, including Luo Feng, were each attacked by 100 core mechanical puppets. And they were unleashing combined law attacks! Their power was outrageously immense. "This is trouble! Poison, Poison, save me!" the Enchantress cried out, her face paling. "Everyone, fight with all you've got!" The Alchemist Poison transmitted, shouting, "Bring out your trump cards, don't hold back! If treasures are gone, you can exchange them for military merits. But if your life is gone... it's truly gone!" From the Alchemist Poison's body, dark green vines rapidly extended in all directions, each hundreds of kilometers long, directly coiling around large numbers of ordinary mechanical puppets and sweeping them away furiously. "Roar!" Hammer also roared, throwing his head back. The rhomboid crystal on his forehead suddenly lit up, and his entire body visibly grew larger. "Kill!" The white armored 'Spirit' emitted dazzling white light from his entire body. The book he held in his hands split apart again, countless fragments merging with the spear on his back, transforming into an even more ancient-looking spear. "I'll have to exert some effort now." Luo Feng was probably the calmest among the Sector Lord team. His gaze fell upon his Yan Shen Weapon. "The Ninth Tier, 'capable of rivaling an Undying,' is enough to sweep away these clumsy mechanical puppets." "Buzz!" The dark golden staff on Luo Feng's back instantly disintegrated completely. The 'golden pillar' also fully broke apart, countless small golden swords rapidly combining, forming the Yan Shen Weapon's most perfect form—the Yan Shen Golden Sword, a seemingly ordinary golden sword three point three meters long. "Yan Shen Golden Sword?" "Capable of rivaling an Undying?" "Ninth Tier?" This scene astonished the other Sector Lord warriors.
