With a flash of his figure, Mo Wen had already appeared in front of the rat-shaped Puppet Monster that had collapsed. He took the flying dagger spiritual weapon and clapped his hands. Against such a Puppet Monster, he undoubtedly had more experience. It was actually even easier for him to defeat one than it would be for a normal ancient martial art practitioner with the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm.
After all, not everyone had the ability to unleash their soul power. Neither were they knowledgeable about the weaknesses of the rat-shaped Puppet Monster.
“How did you manage to do it?” Jin Ying looked at Mo Wen in shock. Although she had yet to attack, she could tell just how strong the defensive ability of the Puppet Monsters was. Even an ancient martial art practitioner of the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm would not be able to inflict much harm onto those metal things.
Yin Banshuang had sensed the situation on the other side. When she looked over, however, she was still extremely shocked. She knew how unreasonable the Metal Puppet Monsters could be. Even though she had come prepared this time, she still felt very powerless before the Puppet Monster with their strong defensive abilities.
She was even unsure of her own chances of defeating this metal thing. However, Mo Wen had dealt with one Puppet Monster in such a short period of time. Could it be that the rat-shaped Puppet Monster was too weak and was much less powerful than the ape-shaped Puppet Monster?
Yin Banshuang could not make sense of it no matter what. Because she had lost her focus for a moment, the ape-shaped Puppet Monster had almost landed a punch on her body. She quickly refocused herself and used all her strength to continue the battle with the metal thing in front of her.
“Quickly come and help me,” Yin Banshuang breathed out in a quiet voice.
It was difficult for her to defeat the ape-shaped Puppet Monster on her own. Now that Mo Wen had already defeated the rat-shaped Puppet Monster, he was now free and had no reason to not help her.
Naturally, Mo Wen would not reject her cry for help. There was no harm in quickly defeating the Metal Puppet Monster as it would shorten their nightmare.
With a flash of his body, Mo Wen appeared before the ape-shaped Puppet Monster. He landed a punch on its firm and thick metal armor, sending it flying backward.
However, his blow had basically not caused any harm to the Puppet Monster at all. The ape-shaped Puppet Monster simply hovered for a moment before it lunged forward again. It seemed as though it had not been affected at all.
Yin Banshuang pursed her lips and her expression became solemn. Initially, she had hoped that Mo Wen would have a method to handle the Puppet Monster. Now, it seemed as though he was no different from her. There was still no way that they could inflict any harm onto the ape-shaped Puppet Monster.
If things continued that way, they would not be able to defeat the Puppet Monster. Should that happen, it would mean that they could not obtain the Vital Qi.
“You have some way to defeat the Puppet Monster, right?” Jin Ying asked expressionlessly. Previously, she had examined the remnants of the rat-shaped Puppet Monster. Its defensive metal armor was very strong and definitely was not weaker than that of the ape-shaped Puppet Monster.
“The two of you, hold it back,” Mo Wen said without reservation. His lips curled upwards as he glanced over at the two ladies.
He could not use the Green Primordial Mirror to defeat the Puppet Monster again. After all, using the Green Primordial Mirror would exhaust his spiritual stones. Moreover, it exhausted his inner Qi greatly as well. With his cultivation, he simply could not afford to use the Green Primordial Mirror once again. Since he had two helpers, there was no reason for him not to utilize them.
Jin Ying raised her eyebrows and was a little unhappy about Mo Wen’s tone. However, she did not say anything more as her figure flashed and she joined the battle, helping Yin Banshuang to hold down the ape-shaped Puppet Monster.
The defense of the Puppet Monster was second to none. However, its power had wasted away over time and it was not left with a lot. Although he could not destroy it, with the power of the two ladies, Mo Wen could at least hold him down.
A golden light flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. With a glance, the body structure of the Puppet Monster had appeared in his mind. He smiled slightly and with a flick of his wrist, the flying dagger spiritual weapon appeared in his hand once again.
He converted two spiritual stones into spiritual power. In the next moment, a black light flashed and the flying dagger spiritual weapon had disappeared from Mo Wen’s hand.
Ding! There was a crisp metal clanging sound. The huge ape-shaped Puppet Monster was stabbed with a black flying dagger, and it had pierced about an inch into it.
Roar! The ape-shaped Puppet Monster paused for a moment. Then, it stopped all movements altogether. With a roar, it tumbled onto the ground and immediately became piles of metal scraps, that looked like little mountains on the ground.
“You indeed know the vital positions of the Puppet Monster.” Jin Ying looked straight into Mo Wen’s eyes. There was a weird gleam in her eyes.
Puppet Monsters belonged to the world of Immortal Cultivators and everyone knew this. However, amongst ancient martial art practitioners, the people who understood Puppet Monsters were few and far between.
Jin Ying found it difficult to comprehend how Mo Wen had understood the Puppet Monsters so well. He was a mere youth so how could he know so much?
She was of extraordinary origin so she already had a much better understanding of Immortal Cultivators than the average ancient martial art practitioner. However, she only knew very little about Puppet Monsters. How did Mo Wen know so much at such a young age? Once again, Jin Ying felt that Mo Wen was a very mysterious youth.
Yin Banshuang did not think too much about it. Her understanding of Immortal Cultivators was way less than Jin Ying’s. Hence, there was naturally a very big gap in their views. Upon seeing the ape-shaped Puppet Monster collapse, she finally heaved a sigh of relief and beckoned for Mo Wen.
Mo Wen flew over to the side of the ape-shaped Puppet Monster and plucked his flying dagger spiritual weapon out of the creature. His gaze was fixed towards the mass of Vital Qi above the pond.
The mass of Vital Qi was floating in mid-air. Even after so many years, it had not dispersed. Hence, there was definitely something odd going on.
Under normal circumstances, Vital Qi formed on earth would mostly disperse into the air. Immortal Cultivators would not be able to notice it, much less the average person. Only some very powerful people would be able to use their abilities to gather the Vital Qi that had dispersed in the air.
However, a minority of Vital Qi would not disperse into the air, but rather gather into a mass. Such types of Vital Qi would be easily obtained even by a normal ancient martial art practitioner. However, it was an exception to see Vital Qi gather into masses. There definitely had to be a reason behind it happening.
There were many possible reasons for it. For example, the environment and terrain, whether there was any divine item that would attract the Vital Qi into a mass, or if there was some stratagem that could gather Vital Qi.
If it was because of some divine item, the divine item would be far more precious than the Vital Qi. Mo Wen narrowed his eyes as he did some internal calculations.
Unlike Mo Wen, Yin Banshuang and Jin Ying had immediately looked over to the mass of Vital Qi floating in mid-air. They did not think as much as Mo Wen. However, Vital Qi alone would make their dreams come true.
“Since the treasure is before us, there is no need to be courteous.” Jin Ying acted as quickly as before. With a flash of her figure, she lunged at the mass of Vital Qi, as if she was afraid that others would fight her for it. At that moment, her speed was at its maximum. A pale golden figure flashed by and she was already standing in front of the mass of Vital Qi.
However, she did not realize that Mo Wen and Yin Banshuang were both extremely calm. It was as though they had not seen her actions. Both of them were standing on the spot without moving. A mocking smile appeared on Yin Banshuang’s mouth. She crossed her arms and it seemed as though she was waiting for an exciting show to begin.
