Chapter 595: One against Many
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The little black puppet had just appeared when it emanated an astonishing spiritual power pressure. It almost seemed to not be any weaker than a later stage Golden Elixir ancient martial art practitioner.
Also, the power it possessed was not Inner Qi, but immortal cultivator spiritual power.
“Puppet doll!”
“The legendary puppet doll.”
“Such powerful spiritual aura.”
The facial expressions of Bu Zhangkun and the others changed drastically. They had not expected that Mo Wen would actually have such a thing in his hands. They knew a little bit about puppet dolls, but none of them had actually seen one, let alone possessed one.
Moreover, even if an ancient martial art practitioner possessed a puppet doll, they would most likely not know how to use it.
From the puppet doll, they felt an astonishing pressure, seemingly enough to threaten them.
Mo Wen swept a glance at the puppet doll. His eyes were full of regret. The quality of the black puppet doll was not low, but its internal energy system was too weak. Unleashing the puppet doll’s power would not be enough.
In reality, before Mo Wen obtained the puppet doll, he had checked it. The energy system inside the puppet doll was equipped with a spiritual stone as an energy source, but it was just a low-grade spiritual stone. Also, it only had a single slot, being unable to be embedded with multiple spiritual stones to supply it with power.
The power of a low-grade spiritual stone could already cause the puppet doll to have its current level of power. It was almost at its limit. If a medium grade spiritual stone acted as its power source, the power of the puppet doll could possibly surpass a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
After all, the spiritual energy stored in a medium grade spiritual stone was equal to a hundred times the total amount of a low-grade spiritual stone. It was enough to completely unleash all the power of the puppet doll.
Sadly, although Mo Wen had many spiritual stones, he did not have a medium grade spiritual stone. The ten thousand spiritual stones that he had obtained from Luofeng Sect before this were all low-grade ones in terms of quality.
However, for an ancient martial art practitioner, a low-grade spiritual stone was more than enough. It was impossible for Huatian Palace to leak more precious medium grade spiritual stones into the ancient martial art practitioner world.
“It’s just a puppet doll. What is there to be afraid of? Not to mention that its power is just the same as ours, even if it is more powerful than us, it is impossible for this plaything without sentience to be a match for us.” Jiang Pingzhou coldly snorted. Ever since he saw that Mo Wen had so many important treasures on him, and now after the legendary puppet doll had appeared, he was already envious beyond compare. Obtaining any one of Mo Wen’s treasures would be enough to cause Medical Sect’s ability to greatly increase.
Jiang Pingzhou stepped into the air. He was the first to attack. He pulled out a royal yellow feather fan from his sleeve and held a spiritual stone in one hand. After the spiritual power had almost been completely converted, he stepped forward. A mass of yellow light appeared on the Royal Yellow Feather Fan, then it became a hurricane, furiously crashing towards Mo Wen.
The Royal Yellow Feather Fan was the sect guarding treasure of the Medical Sect. It was a rare top grade spiritual weapon; its quality was no less than that of the Green Primordial Mirror. The hurricane generated by the Royal Yellow Feather Fan was enough to kill an intermediate stage ancient martial art practitioner. It was useful in restricting the movement of later stage Golden Elixir realm practitioners as well.
“What are you waiting for? Use all your might. Kill this brat,” Jiang Pingzhou said ruthlessly. A strong killing intent filled his eyes now.
Jiang Jingtao was not any slower than Jiang Pingzhou. Almost at the same time as Jiang Pingzhou attacked, Jiang Jingtao activated the magical copper coin. It was because he knew that with just Jiang Pingzhou, it was impossible for him to seize Mo Wen.
A golden light flashed past and the copper coin appeared above Mo Wen’s head. It enlarged instantly to the size of a large millstone, with a diameter of two meters.
Mo Wen, who was standing in midair, felt his body sink suddenly. Then, a formless energy enveloped him and pulled him up towards the hole in the middle of the copper coin.
All the magical treasures in the world had their corresponding attributes and energies. This copper coin was obviously a spiritual weapon with the earth attribute. It emanated a thick sensation of power.
With Mo Wen’s current cultivation, he actually could not block the Gigantic Copper Coin’s pulling force. Even though he wouldn’t easily be pulled into the hole at the center of the copper coin, his movement was largely restricted.
Jiang Jingtao attacked after Jiang Pingzhou unleashed his attack; however, due to the peculiar power of the copper coin spiritual weapon, his attack was the first to have an effect on Mo Wen. Now the yellow gale appeared in front of Mo Wen. It had been merely a small puff of wind but now had changed into a gigantic hurricane with a diameter of twenty meters, connected from the ground to the sky. The hurricane took up half of the space inside the eight stone pillars.
To avoid being affected by the hurricane, Bu Zhangkun and Pavilion Leader Ye Rong both retreated tens of meters.
Anyone could tell that the power of the yellow gale was terrifying. Even when a later stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner got caught in the storm, he would most likely die or be injured.
Normally, Mo Wen would surely dodge such an attack. However, he was restricted by the Gigantic Copper Coin now. The copper coin’s power was enveloping him, causing his speed to be at its minimum. He couldn’t dodge the attack at all.
One could imagine how terrifying an attack unleashed with a top grade spiritual weapon by a later stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner was. Mo Wen didn’t have the confidence to take the attack head-on.
A light flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. The puppet doll which was suspended in front of him suddenly emanated a dazzling black light. The next moment, its figure enlarged to more than five meters. The puppet doll dove and blocked in front of Mo Wen.
The puppet doll was imprinted with Mo Wen’s Spirit Imprint. Mo Wen could control it with a thought. It was no different from controlling his own arm.
A beam of purple light flashed. It transcended the space and enveloped the puppet doll.
Mo Wen did not know what kind of power the mass of purple light had. It actually forcefully suppressed the power of the puppet doll. It caused the figure of the puppet doll to constantly shrink, as well as fly out to the side.
Mo Wen’s gaze turned cold. He turned to look furiously. There stood a middle-aged woman with a graceful figure. A Purple Bottle Gourd was floating before her. The mass of purple light had flown out from the Purple Bottle Gourd.
“Pavilion Leader Ye Rong, it seems that your Purple Qi Pavilion is hellbent on treating me as an enemy.”
Even Mo Wen had not anticipated that the Purple Qi Pavilion’s Purple Bottle Gourd actually had such amazing power. The puppet doll was an Immortal Cultivation world puppet doll. The power it had was spiritual power. Although it was not powerful, in terms of quality it was far superior to Inner Qi. The bizarre Bottle Gourd actually could suppress spiritual power. It even almost severed his spiritual connection with the puppet doll. It was his first time seeing such an amazing spiritual weapon.
“Mo Wen, you can still repent now. If you hand over the puppet doll, I promise I will immediately cease and not treat you as an enemy. How about it?”
At this moment, it was impossible for Pavilion Leader Ye Rong to shrink back anymore. In reality, who wouldn’t be moved by the treasures that Mo Wen had on him? Inside her heart, she instead hoped that Mo Wen would reject her suggestion and keep stubbornly resisting till the end. At least then, from a moral standpoint, her psychological stress could be reduced by quite a bit.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Mo Wen had previously helped Purple Qi Pavilion, she would not have negotiated with him at all. As Jiang Pingzhou had said, directly snatching his items would allow them to gain more benefits. This youth was practically a treasure trove.
“Since a masterless treasure has ended up in my hands, then it naturally belongs to me. If you make a move and try to snatch it from me, no matter what you say, it will be taking unrighteously. Don’t justify yourself.”
Mo Wen looked at Pavilion Leader Ye Rong with ridicule. This woman clearly lusted greatly after the treasures on his person. Yet, she had to put on a sanctimonious look, as though he giving her a treasure was a matter of fact.
Before this, when they were searching for treasures, they had used their own abilities. Mo Wen’s abilities had been insufficient. Could it be that they wanted to blame him for snatching too many? Moreover, if it wasn’t for him destroying the eye of the stratagem on the stone pillar, they would not even be able to dream of getting a treasure.
Right now, the puppet doll would soon be taken by the beam of purple light, and the hurricane was closing in and about to consume him.
Mo Wen was outraged, and an urge to gain the upper hand suddenly welled up inside him. He wanted to see whether the four later stage Golden Elixir realm experts of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension could keep him here.
An astonishing violent force instantly emanated from Mo Wen’s body. A formless thunder could faintly be heard exploding in the emptiness. The air seemed to boil, as though a violent storm was brewing.
In an instant, the power in Mo Wen’s body seemed to forcefully rise by a level. He was like a humanoid tyrannosaurus. His figure shook slightly and was freed from the binding of the Gigantic Copper Coin. He leaped a step forward and sent a fist crashing out. A mass of formless power expanded outwards.
The huge yellow gale seemed to have encountered an obstacle. It furiously stopped in its tracks. Then, section by section, inch by inch, it shattered. Finally, it completely became nothing, dissipating in the air.
After Mo Wen sent out his punch, he did not bother about the hurricane anymore. He sent a palm strike out again. A formless force from the palm collided with the purple light that enveloped the puppet doll, directly and brutally scattering the mass of purple light.
Free from the binding of the purple light, the puppet doll immediately recovered its pressure. Its roaring and rushing spiritual power surged. Its figure once again grew larger. With a flash of black light, it once again appeared on Mo Wen’s figure. Mo Wen flicked his finger and a red light flashed, directly landing in the hands of the puppet doll.
It was a Fiery Red Jade Ruler. On it, ancient and exquisite pictures were engraved. It was precisely one of the top grade spiritual weapons that Mo Wen had obtained from on top of the stone pillars prior to this.
The puppet doll was very nimble; its movement was no different from a human being. It grabbed the Fiery Red Jade Ruler and with a flash of its silhouette, it appeared around the Gigantic Copper Coin. Its black metallic body smashed directly into the copper coin, brutally pushing the millstone-sized copper coin away tens of meters.
Almost all the puppet dolls in the Immortal Cultivation world had a common characteristic, which was having a hard shell. It was because puppet dolls which had soft shells could easily be destroyed. Therefore, the puppet doll masters would usually spend most of their energy on increasing the defensive power of the puppet dolls.
Some advanced puppet dolls were magical treasures on their own. Even immortal cultivators could not damage the puppet dolls easily.
“So powerful!” Bu Zhangkun, who was spectating the battle and had not attacked since the beginning, was shocked beyond words. He didn’t attack not because he was on Mo Wen’s side, but rather because he was interested to see whether Mo Wen could withstand the attacks from three people. He was keen to know where the youth’s bottom line was.
To his surprise, Mo Wen, who originally seemed to be at an absolute disadvantage, had turned the tables on his opponents in an instant. Before this, he had speculated that Mo Wen would not be defeated easily; however, he had not expected him to counterattack so splendidly.
