"Damn it, damn it!" Ahuo clenched his fists tightly, feeling extremely unwilling.
His bamboo puppets not only have primitive components but also incorporate his unique mechanical parts, each capable of self-destruction. And the power of this self-destruction is quite impressive.
However, now he has no way to control these bamboo puppets, watching helplessly as they are sliced through like vegetables by Ning Zhuo’s team without being able to perform any function.
This makes Ahuo, who wants to perform well, feel very frustrated.
Ning Zhuo’s bamboo puppet team directly broke through Huoniao’er’s squad and reached Zhang Dadan’s bamboo puppets.
Zhang Dadan knew his disadvantages. Unlike other cultivators practicing Mechanical Techniques, whose divine sense is coarse and unable to control with precision, he played to his strengths while avoiding his weaknesses by releasing only three Heavy Armor bamboo puppets.
These three large bamboo puppets seem extremely bulky and stationary, like pillars, when they cannot be controlled.
But Zhang Dadan wasn’t too worried: "Even if I can’t control them temporarily, with such defenses, you’ll need to chop away for a while."
The next moment, Ning Zhuo’s bamboo puppet squad flowed like water, directly bypassing these three large bamboo puppets and continued killing towards the rear.
Zhang Dadan: "Uh..."
His plan fell through. Ning Zhuo never intended to entangle with them from the start.
Ning Zhuo had personally experienced two great battles and knew very well how important it is to seize battle opportunities.
"I must achieve maximum damage at this moment, rather than getting tangled with these heavy opponents, avoiding such a waste of time."
Ning Zhuo’s squad went on a killing spree, taking advantage of the opponents being tied down, inflicting several times more damage than theirs, with visible results.
"Damn it!" Chen San was the first to regain mobility. Teeth clenched, he exerted full control over his bamboo puppet team.
He was in an awkward position. Before the battle started, he had already controlled his bamboo puppet squad to leave the main force, attempting to circle behind Ning Zhuo’s team for pincer movement.
But unexpectedly, faced with such an enemy stance, Ning Zhuo didn’t choose to hold the line but directly used attack as defense!
Ning Zhuo’s bamboo puppet squad was like a ferocious tiger descending a mountain. The beast pack under its claws could not withstand even a moment, some were wounded, and some died.
Chen San could only exert full control over his team to catch up from the rear, but he couldn’t catch up with Ning Zhuo’s team, only watching helplessly as the only enemy in the field, like a tiger, slaughtered to their formation’s depth.
Thus, the pincer attack became meaningless.
Chen San could only follow the gap Ning Zhuo charged out of, and dive in headfirst.
"Move aside quickly!" Chen San yelled to Zhang Dadan.
Zhang Dadan returned a bitter smile.
The next moment, the onlookers witnessed a hilarious scene—Chen San’s bamboo puppet team crashed into the three Heavy Armor bamboo puppets, many bamboo puppets directly knocked down to the ground, some lightly damaged, some heavily disassembled.
"Does he really practice Mechanical Techniques with such controlling skills?"
"The gap with Ning Zhuo is too obvious."
"Simply a clown!"
From the crowd came the sounds of ridicule, some made no reservations, giving Chen San sharp sarcasm and mockery.
Chen San’s face darkened further, his eye corners twitching, inwardly shouting: "My performance was already good enough. You should know, I’ve never made any development in sound control!"
After Chen San chased with all his might, Ning Zhuo’s bamboo puppet team was finally halted for the first time.
Jiang Xiaobian blew the flute vigorously, causing her face to redden.
The flute’s piercing sound still held its ground amidst Ning Zhuo’s plucking zither, leading her Insect Bamboo Puppets to show strong resilience.
This strange team composed of insect hard shells, arm blades, and poisonous needles, displayed a form of stiffness, yet tireless resilience, with high aggression.
Bam bam!
Crack! ...
The insect puppets fearlessly collided with Ning Zhuo’s bamboo puppets.
The arm blades cut through the green surface of the bamboo puppets, the poisonous needles cunningly pierced the joints and other weak spots of Ning Zhuo’s bamboo puppets, even Ning Zhuo himself was strumming the Ancient Zither slower.
This wasn’t an effect of external influence, rather the big-headed boy found the hunt exciting, a sudden desire for exploration surged upon seeing such peculiar mechanisms.
Subconsciously, he temporarily paused the attack to take a closer look at the performance of these Insect Bamboo Puppets.
As a result, his opponents misunderstood.
"Good!"
"We still have a chance!!"
"Hurry and adjust. Stop mutual depletion, focus on Jiang Xiaobian!"
"Ning Zhuo is strong, but this is merely a bamboo puppet battle. If everyone joins forces, we still have great hope this battle."
This temporary Alliance Army under Ning Zhuo’s immense pressure, adjusted on the fly, developing primary and secondary formations.
Thus, the voices they each emitted quickly adjusted, Jiang Xiaobian, Chen San, Zhang Dadan and others became the main force.
Never before had Jiang Xiaobian blown the bamboo flute so fiercely, yet after prolonged offense, she felt her attack like a tide, while the enemy remained steadfast like a rock.
"Chen San! Quick! Outflank!" Jiang Xiaobian’s eyes gleamed upon seeing Chen San’s team kill its way inside Ning Zhuo’s formation, immediately sending a message.
Chen San discerned Jiang Xiaobian’s urgency, not without a shiver, realizing though Jiang Xiaobian seemed offensive, she was truly fatigued, unable to hold on much longer.
"Ning Zhuo’s mechanical techniques are indeed strong, I admit none on our side is your match."
"But it is exactly because of this, leading to the current situation."
"The way of cultivation lies in struggle! Ning Zhuo, you are a top-tier genius, but I’m not. I must seize every opportunity I can."
"To you, maybe Qinghuangzi’s legacy means little. But to me, it’s the greatest chance of my life!"
