CHAPTER 350: CHAPTER 240: REVEALING ACTIONS

One by one, they formed a battle array to block the way.

The power each battle array unleashed was at least at the Purple Mansion level, easily withstanding the onslaught of the mechanical puppet beasts.

This was without the Outer Sect disciples leading the array, making Small Knife dumbfounded.

Obviously, with the Outer Sect disciples in charge, they could at least withstand ten times stronger enemies from a higher realm.

This ability truly belongs to a powerful sect capable of traversing worlds.

The number of surrounding Outer Sect disciples was decreasing.

Soon, only about ten remained, but they had charged quite a distance.

Small Knife, stepping on a top-grade magical flying sword, barely kept pace with that Inner Sect disciple who was solely focused on moving forward.

All along, he had been following at full speed, using up all his strength, utterly unable to fight.

Seeing that he would have to intervene, he feared that he would no longer be able to keep up.

Is this the true strength of the Outer Sect disciples of the Five Elements Sword Control Sect?

This opened Small Knife’s eyes, and simultaneously, he lamented in his heart, because compared to other Outer Sect disciples, he lagged far behind, and unable to keep up, he would fail this task, which promised rich rewards.

Just as Small Knife had to plan to intervene.

The Inner Sect disciple suddenly stopped, reached out, and a peculiar flying sword covered in engravings fell to the ground, embedding half its body into the earth.

Patterns emanated from the flying sword, quickly spreading out in all directions.

The Outer Sect disciple shook his wrist, and a large number of Daoist Soldiers appeared.

Sensing the energy fluctuations, the item on his wrist turned out to be a Blessed Land, indeed worthy of an Inner Sect disciple.

These Daoist Soldiers all exuded an aura far stronger than Foundation Establishment, at least in the Third Realm, if not stronger.

They were extremely well-trained and instantly formed a battle array upon appearing.

Countless shadows of swords surfaced, swirling rapidly around the battle array, clearly in defense.

"Phew!" The Inner Sect disciple let out a breath.

"The array hub is set; we just need to defend for a while." The Inner Sect disciple was actually talking to Small Knife.

This caught Small Knife by surprise.

Seeing this, the Inner Sect disciple smiled and said, "Naturally, I have the information of you hundred Outer Sect disciples in my hands; there are seven newcomers, and you are one of them, from the Little World. You’re the only one who followed me without falling behind, proving your exceptional potential, show it well."

Small Knife was enlightened; no wonder other Outer Sect disciples formed battle arrays to defend against other puppet mechanism beasts.

His task, on the other hand, was simply to keep up as best as he could by staying close to the battle array of other Outer Sect disciples for defense without any other specific orders.

As he spoke, the patterns spreading from the half-buried flying sword spread out.

With the Inner Sect disciple and his Daoist Soldiers forming a defensive battle array, the pressure immediately decreased significantly.

Due to their overwhelming strength, Small Knife couldn’t even ascertain their true strength.

However, a large number of puppets charged at them, getting shredded by the battle array without it needing to exert its maximum power.

As time passed, those mechanical puppet beasts started forming a sizable force.

But at this time, the spreading patterns from the sword embedded in the ground had already expanded to the limit.

Small Knife found that it was the same elsewhere, linking together and rapidly forming into an enormous protective light shield.

This was merely an array hub for forming a colossal light shield.

Soon afterward, earthen yellow sword-shaped phantoms emerged, moving across the light shield and attacking the oncoming mechanical puppet beasts.

With the enormous light shield protection, they finally halted the numerous mechanical puppet beasts arriving from all directions.

All of this occurred in less than a minute.

"The defense array is set, you Outer Sect disciples are responsible for killing the puppets inside the array, get to it and earn those contributions," the Inner Sect disciple laughed, and the remaining Outer Sect disciples, who were already impatient, immediately released Daoist Soldiers from their Soldier Tokens, forming a battle array and charging forward.

Small Knife glanced around, there were indeed quite a few laser puppet beasts within the defense array.

However, up close, the most powerful were obstructed by the battle array and surrounded.

Against those they could match, the battle array naturally employed an offensive strategy; those they couldn’t, they used defensive tactics.

Moreover, the White Jade Token on their person could always call for help from their companions.

Even several Outer Sect disciples and Daoist Soldiers formed battle arrays, cooperating with each other to form even more formidable arrays to stop the enemy.

Those animated buildings were powerful mechanical puppets blocked by these grand arrays.

Even just blocking them earned contributions based on the enemies’ strength difference.

So, even though enemies abounded, Small Knife found himself to be surprisingly safe.

Unfortunately, he had only observed these basic battle arrays and had not researched them in detail; hence he couldn’t intervene.

Yet witnessing the scene, Small Knife felt a swell of pride.

He extended his hand, and his top-grade magical flying sword shot forth.

Most other Outer Sect disciples did not possess top-grade magical artifacts and only used Upper Grade ones; however, joining the battle, the power they unleashed exceeded top-grade artifacts.

Naturally, Small Knife was displeased.

Divine Technique, Critical Strike.

Divine Technique, Nine Stars Linked Pearls.

The top-grade magical flying sword radiated magnificently, its speed increasing by thirty percent.

The puppet wolf, which could have originally escaped, was immediately struck.

Though this was merely the most common puppet wolf, it wasn’t the weakest Second Realm.

Rather, it was a Third Realm, Purple Mansion Stage puppet, although mechanical puppet beasts did not have what was called a Purple Mansion, their combat power was of this level, and their strongest aspect was their defense, which a typical Purple Mansion cultivator might not necessarily penetrate.

So even with a critical strike hitting its weak spot, it merely cracked.
