When Li Chengfeng saw the mechanical puppet suddenly turn its head to look at him, he was shocked. However, he could not turn around as he was still in the air. He could only watch as the mechanical puppet opened its bloody mouth. The array patterns around its body quickly glowed red, rippling like waves on its body. Then, the red light gathered in its mouth, and a powerful energy quickly gathered.
Li Chengfeng's hair stood on end. He knew that if he was hit by this light wave, his body and soul would be destroyed in an instant. He would turn into a puff of green smoke, and even his Immortal Energy would not be able to save him!
With a thought, the birds that gathered around Li Chengfeng rammed into his body, causing him to lose his balance. He quickly thrust his spear towards Spiritual Master Yun, and at the same time, he kicked the mechanical puppet in front of him.
It was like a dance with the tip of a knife. Li Chengfeng's spear was not aimed at the mechanical puppet, but at Spiritual Master Yun instead. This surprised everyone. Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Li Chengfeng's kick was not far enough away to reach the mechanical puppet.
But what happened next made them dumbfounded and gasp in amazement!
The thrust was a stroke of genius. It forced Spiritual Master Yun to put down one of his hands and point it at the tip of Li Chengfeng's spear.
With a loud clang, Spiritual Master Yun's finger seemed to be made of steel. A ring of golden light rippled out from his fingertip, and Li Chengfeng was sent flying away. However, it was the rebound force that brought him a few meters closer to the mechanical puppet. His kick landed right on the mechanical puppet's head, causing it to tilt its head. The red light wave in its mouth was deflected, brushing past Li Chengfeng's cheek and flying away.
But even though it missed, Li Chengfeng still felt his ears ringing. He was sent flying away by the powerful force, rolling on the ground for more than ten meters before he stopped.
Struggling to get up, Li Chengfeng realized that the world in front of him had turned bright red, and the world was shaking. He shook his head and immediately calmed himself down.
Since the Enlightened Puppet had used one of his hands to defend against Li Chengfeng's spear, the horde of beetles that were swarming towards them was no longer obstructed. The terrifying swarm of beetles quickly broke through the weakened wall of fire and rushed towards the Enlightened Puppet and the mechanical puppets like a tidal wave.
The puppet was a pure man, so how could he endure such a terrifying golden body? He quickly made a hand seal and pointed his finger forward. A wall of fire appeared in front of him again, but this time, the range of his defense did not include the mechanical puppets.
In the blink of an eye, the bug tide had engulfed the mechanical puppets.
The mechanical puppet's body quickly lit up with a red light, and its entire body ignited with raging flames, burning all the insect puppets that pounced on it to ashes.
However, after this outburst, its entire body immediately darkened. The red light in its eyes gradually disappeared, and its head drooped down bit by bit.
"Could it be … that its backup energy has been completely used up?" Li Chengfeng's heart skipped a beat as he subconsciously thought.
However, Li Chengfeng hesitated and did not move. The people who were concerned about Li Chengfeng were very anxious.
"Once bitten, twice shy, is Li Chengfeng afraid of ropes?"
"Yeah, what if this is another trap set up by Daoist Puppet?"
"Do we have any other choice?
If we don't bet now, when will we? "
Just as the people in the audience were discussing, the opportunity in the arena disappeared in a flash. When Daoist Puppet's attack was halted by the mechanical puppets, he quickly replaced the magic crystal for the mechanical puppets. Immediately, the mechanical puppets' eyes lit up again.
The people outside the arena sighed. They felt sorry and worried for Li Chengfeng for wasting such a great opportunity.
"No, he's not the kind of person who would waste an opportunity like this!" Ouyang Xiu, who had fought with Li Chengfeng before, said firmly in a low voice.
Grand Senior Sister glanced at Ouyang Xiu and smiled without saying a word.
As if to strengthen her belief, Ouyang Xiu repeated, "He's definitely not this kind of person!
This must be his trap! "
At this moment, the raging bird tide and insect tide in the arena had both stopped. The ground was covered in black insect corpses and badly mangled corpses of birds, and the ground was piled up like a mountain. The enormous Universe Duel Arena was suffused with a terrifying stench.
The commoners watching from afar were fine. Due to the size of the arena, the smell had been blown away by the wind by the time it reached them. However, the nobles nearby could not stand it. They covered their noses and mouths, feeling like vomiting.
At that moment, Li Chengfeng made a move and charged towards Reverend Yun. However, the puppet did not react as quickly as before. It was as if its entire body had become rusty, its movements stiff and slow, and the red glow in its eyes flickered.
Reverend Yun was taken aback when he saw this. But in the blink of an eye, Li Chengfeng had already appeared in front of the mechanical puppet. With a sweep of his spear, the Zimu Lightning Sword in the mechanical puppet's hand was sent flying up into the sky.
However, the mechanical puppet could not react in time. It looked up at the sky, and in the next second, it was sent flying by the tip of Li Chengfeng's spear, landing heavily on the ground.
Before the parent sword of the Zimu Lightning Sword could land on the ground, a ferocious bird swooped down from the sky and grabbed it. It shrieked and flew into the distance.
Everyone outside the arena gasped in shock!
The situation had changed in an instant!
"Amazing!
What Zhenren Li did was amazing! "
"That's right! Zhenren Li has banished the puppet's magical weapon! His combat power has dropped by more than one level!"
"That's impossible!" Daoist Puppet was enraged. "What did you do to my treasure?!"
Li Chengfeng sneered and wiped the blood off his face. "Such an intricate mechanical puppet must have been very complicated to make, right?"
Daoist Puppet said proudly, "Of course!"
Li Chengfeng chuckled. "Let me tell you something. The more intricate something is, the easier it is to break!
What's more, you opened the hatch so wide when you replaced the magic crystal stones! "
Daoist Puppet instantly understood. Just now, when he was changing the magic crystal gems, the hatch in front of the mechanical puppet's chest was wide open, and those countless insect puppets must have rushed in. Although they couldn't destroy the mechanical puppet's parts, when there were enough of them, and they piled up together, they could affect the operation of the mechanical puppet.
Reverend Yun flew into a rage. Quickly, he performed a finger incantation gesture and pointed his finger at the puppet. Immediately, a stream of flame burst out from the puppet's body, burning all the remaining bugs into ashes in just a blink of an eye.
The mechanical puppet's movements immediately became nimble. However, the mother sword of the Zimu Lightning Sword had already been snatched away by the bird, out of its range of detection. With only one child sword in its hand, the mechanical puppet could no longer attack as fast as lightning. It grabbed the short sword in its hand and began to attack Li Chengfeng in melee combat.
Li Chengfeng raised the Setting Sun Spear and fought with the mechanical puppet. Both of them had a spear and a sword in their hands. One spear and one sword, the other was like a mad dragon, and the other was like a lightning bolt. The short sword in the mechanical puppet's hand was like a venomous snake, sticking close to Li Chengfeng and attacking him fiercely. Although Li Chengfeng managed to hit the puppet a few times, it took the hits head-on because it was not afraid of getting hurt. Li Chengfeng almost got hit a few times.
Even though this sort of hand-to-hand combat wasn't as gorgeous as a battle of techniques, it was far more thrilling than before. Everyone stared with their eyes wide open, and they didn't even dare to breathe heavily as they were deeply afraid that a victor would be decided in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Li Chengfeng's spear pierced through the puppet's neck. Just as the spear tip was about to pierce through, the puppet suddenly grabbed the spear and pulled forcefully. Its entire body flew into Li Chengfeng's arms, and the dagger in its hand pierced through Li Chengfeng's chest.
Li Chengfeng roared and reached behind him. In an instant, he grabbed the Heaven Splitter Sword that was wrapped around his back and swung it!
There was a loud clang!
Everyone heard the clear and sharp sound of sword energy slicing through the air, like the roar of a dragon!
The mechanical puppet's body, which was as tough as a golden body, split open in an instant. Its arm, which was holding the sub-sword, was chopped off and shot up into the sky!
Li Chengfeng flipped over and elbowed the mechanical puppet, sending it flying. But then, he coughed out a mouthful of blood and fell to one knee on the ground.
The Setting Sun Spear in Li Chengfeng's hand fell to the side. He leaned on the Heaven Splitter Sword, using his arm and body to cover the words and patterns on the blade. Reverend Yun quietly appeared next to Li Chengfeng. Sitting in a wheelchair, he looked down at Li Chengfeng and said proudly, "I'm sorry, Lord Li!"
When he finished, Reverend Yun quickly formed a series of hand seals, ready to unleash a spell to kill Li Chengfeng.
But right at this moment, the arm holding the Mother-Child Lightning Sword that was tossed up into the sky fell back to the ground, landing right behind Reverend Yun!
Li Chengfeng glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and his lips curled into a smile. It was the smile of someone who had already won. "I'm sorry, Reverend Yun!"
Reverend Yun was stunned when he saw the smile. But before he could react, the tip of a sword, stained with blood, poked out of his chest!
It was the mechanical puppet that had teleported behind Reverend Yun before the sub-sword landed on the ground. With its remaining arm, it held the broken sword and stabbed it into Reverend Yun's back!
This unforeseen event was like a flash of lightning and the change was so fast that it instantly shocked everyone outside the field!
For a moment, the noisy Heaven and Earth Arena fell silent!
The arena that could hold a hundred thousand people seemed to have turned into a giant graveyard!
They stared at the arena with their mouths agape, unable to understand what had just happened!
