Chapter 161: Chapter 162 Puppet Master

Translator: 549690339

Tombstones stood tall, and numerous colossal stone coffins were exposed to view.

The wind began to intensify inexplicably, causing the sand and gravel to whirl about atop the Nine Army Tomb Mountain.

A potent killing intent emanated from the group of the Royal Young Gang, particularly from a very dull-looking youth.

Despite his dazed expression, his eyes betrayed a terrifying murderous aura!

Besides him, there were a few others, whose gazes towards Zhu Minglang looked as though fueled by deep-seated hatred.

These were two brothers dressed in royal attire, Zhao Chen and Zhao Wu!

“The deed to the Young Dragon Valley is in his hands, and he also killed Hao Shaocong!” Zhao Xi pointed at Zhu Minglang and shouted loudly.

“This scourge may as well be eradicated by me, Xu Mao, as a service to heaven,” Xu Mao stepped forward.

He stretched out his palm, which emitted a dazzling radiance of purple light from the sigil contained within.

One could see a Purple Fire Azure Dragon flying out from his Spirit Realm, its significantly long body twisting and winding in the air. The scales burning with purple flames were exceptionally eye-catching, giving the dragon a semblance of searing everything around it vigorously!

With a touch of wildness, Xu Mao leaped onto the head of the Purple Fire Azure Dragon. Standing there with his arms crossed, he looked down from a superior height, scrutinizing Zhu Minglang standing on the ground.

“That Purple Fire Azure Dragon of Xu Mao’s is at least at the Peak King Level.”

“Zhu Minglang must be planning to summon that Ice Morning White Dragon if he hopes to have any chance of contending with Xu Mao of the Purple Sect Clan, right?”

“Zhu Minglang has gotten into trouble with people from the Royal Young Gang, and now they’ve all gathered together—it looks more likely to end badly for him!”

This long-standing grudge was finally about to be settled.

Zhu Minglang stood still, as the scorching heat from the purple flames rushed toward his face. Yet, the most threatening presence was the Purple Fire Azure Dragon, with its enormous girth.

The tail of the Purple Fire Azure Dragon began to dance, sending down cascading rings of purple flames from above, smashing towards Zhu Minglang’s location.

“Whoooo”

The Ice Morning White Dragon flapped its wings, which, when unfurled, spread the silvery ice fluff around, creating a vast sea of frost flowers.

Just as the purple rings of fire were about to reach the ground, frost flowers danced in the air, rolling up the most dazzling silver snow crystals. Thousands of silvery frost particles fluttered across the tomb mountain like dandelions caught in a strong wind, some flying low and others spiraling high

The purple circles of fire melted away in the snow, leaving the Ice Morning White Dragon and Zhu Minglang standing amid the frost flowers and snow fluff, unscathed!

The secondary wings fluttered gently, provoking more and more ice flowers to bloom across the cemetery. Each time the wide wings of the Ice Morning White Dragon stirred them, they would lift into the air, suspended mid-flight.

As the Ice Morning White Dragon soared toward the Purple Fire Azure Dragon, it was akin to a Holy Spirit escorted by ice elves, magnificent yet exerting an aura of oppression!

Xu Mao, standing atop the head of the Purple Fire Azure Dragon, wore a look of shock on his face.

Was it by harnessing the power of this Ice Morning White Dragon that he killed Hao Shaocong??

Hao Shaocong was not weak by any means; his Sheep Demon Purple Dragon was of the Upper Lord Level. Zhu Minglang’s ability to dispose of him in such a short period indicates that he must have a higher-level Dragon Beast.

Ice Morning White Dragon!

This was indeed a formidable and extraordinarily talented White Dragon, which, with the silver moon’s frosty methods, overpowered the Purple Fire Azure Dragon’s scorching heat.

At this moment, amidst countless whirls of ice fluff, the Ice Morning White Dragon had taken to the air, launching a spectacular offensive against the Purple Fire Azure Dragon, its frost flowers constantly transforming.

Sometimes they attached softly, carrying a freezing effect capable of immobilizing living things within moments.

Other times they became hard and sharp, turning into something more terrifying than blades, piercing through the air driven by the furious wind.

The Purple Fire Azure Dragon and the Ice Morning White Dragon fought fiercely in the sky, yet neither could gain the upper hand. Faced with the endless array of abilities from the Ice Morning White Dragon, the former could only manage to parry and respond.

The fires blazed brilliantly.

The frost flowers dazzled resplendently.

Purple and white forces collided over Nine Army Tomb Mountain, igniting sparks that left the onlookers on the Mysterious Wall awestruck.

It must be said that both the Purple Fire Azure Dragon and the Ice Morning White Dragon stood as peak examples among Lord Level dragons, much more potent than the Dragon Beasts summoned by other Dragon Trainers from the mechanical city!

“Poisonous Pigeon, now is the time—take care of Zhu Minglang,” Zhao Xi said venomously.

The dull youth began to advance, his strides growing longer and his pace quickening.

His feet pressed into the dirt, initially leaving behind shallow footprints, but gradually his steps grew heavier, even crushing the stone slabs he stepped upon!

His skin started to morph, taking on a solid copper hue.

Throughout his sprint, he transformed progressively, as if forged from copper and iron, exuding an incredibly terrifying sense of power!

“Young Master, be careful—he’s a puppet, controlled by a Puppet Master!” Qin Yang, seeing the situation, promptly moved forward to deal with it.

Puppet Master

It was evident that this Poisonous Pigeon was not the Puppet Master; he was merely a controlled puppet!

At this moment, this individual was entirely shaped from copper and iron, intricately constructed and perfectly molded, possessing immense strength and astonishing speed.

Atop the tower, Zhao Yin Ge, who sat motionless on a chair, now wore a sinister smile on his face.

His eyes, dark and fearsome, were mirrored in the pupils of the youth called Poisonous Pigeon on Nine Army Tomb Mountain—so similar that upon closer inspection, one could discern an identical mark within the depths of their eyes!

Poisonous Pigeon.

Was none other than Zhao Yin Ge’s puppet!

And Zhao Yin Ge was the Puppet Master!

Even without personally stepping into the city of mechanisms, he could still slay Zhu Minglang by hand!

The copper and iron puppet rushed towards Zhu Minglang. Its eyes shared vision with Zhao Yin Ge, and its consciousness was even more directly controlled by Zhao Yin Ge

To create a truly perfect puppet, what’s needed was actually a living person, transforming this person into a mechanized one, and then controlling all their actions!

Prosthetics??

Ridiculous!

How could Zhao Yin Ge possibly wear prosthetics!

He could use this art of puppetry to be reborn in a puppet’s body!!

The Poisonous Pigeon was Zhao Yin Ge.

Zhao Yin Ge harbored deep hatred for Zhu Minglang!

He would never miss this rare opportunity!!

“Young Master, quick, get back,” Qin Yang saw the Poisonous Pigeon puppet bearing down with ferocity and quickly moved in front of Zhu Minglang.

She struck out several palms towards the Poisonous Pigeon puppet. However, her palm strikes landed on the stele and stone slabs instead. The Poisonous Pigeon puppet was more nimble than she had anticipated, easily dodging her attacks.

The Poisonous Pigeon puppet was very close now, and like Zhao Yin Ge, it wore a bizarre and cruel smile.

Its fist was like copper and iron. When swung, it could smash rocks the size of houses.

It threw a punch at Qin Yang, who was then sent flying.

In terms of strength, the puppet was even more terrifying than those Divine and Mortal martial cultivators. Probably even Big Black Tooth in armor wouldn’t necessarily be able to withstand it!

“Zhao Yin Ge, you’ve hidden your capabilities quite well!” Zhu Minglang could tell from the pupils of the puppet that the one manipulating it must be that Princely Heir.

His hands and feet had been chopped off by Zhu Minglang, turning him practically into a cripple.

Yet, he had mastered this art of puppetry and had been concealing his strength all this time

Probably just waiting for the day when he could avenge himself and wash away the shame!

Zhao Yin Ge’s five senses were at this moment shared with the mechanical puppet, so naturally he could hear what Zhu Minglang was saying.

His loathing manifested vividly on the Poisonous Pigeon puppet, with intense murderous intent.

“Only when you are dead can I laugh heartily. These years, every single day I have thought about how I would personally slaughter you!” the Poisonous Pigeon puppet let out a sound. Although the voice was rather stiff, one could feel how much Zhao Yin Ge hated Zhu Minglang.

“This puppet, how long did you spend to find it, it must have done quite a few things for you, right? Like ensuring the continuation of your lineage, for instance?” Zhu Minglang once again began to laugh.

With that question, Zhu Minglang had hit Zhao Yin Ge’s sore spot directly!

Inside the tower, on his seat, Zhao Yin Ge who was handicapped almost spat out a mouthful of blood in anger.

“So, if there really is a descendant, should it be considered Zhao Yin Ge’s or should it be considered the puppet body’s?” Zhu Minglang followed up with another question.

“You go to hell first!!” From the tower, Zhao Yin Ge roared out that sentence.

He was supposed to be speaking through the puppet, but Zhao Yin Ge was so enraged that his head felt like it would explode, and he didn’t care at all about what the people around him thought!

The Poisonous Pigeon puppet leaped behind Zhu Minglang. Its arms, at some point, had turned into copper and iron blades. Taking advantage of the moment when Zhu Minglang had no protection around him, it viciously chopped towards his head!

He was about to split Zhu Minglang in two.

“Whoosh!”

A sword light flashed by, and just as the Poisonous Pigeon puppet brought its blade down, the light directly severed its copper and iron arm.

The copper and iron blade arm spun through the air, eventually landing on a stone sarcophagus lid, cutting into the stone nearly in half.

After its attacking momentum was broken, the Poisonous Pigeon puppet subconsciously stepped back, trying to see who had intervened to stop it from killing Zhu Minglang.

However, the Poisonous Pigeon puppet saw nothing.

“Whoosh!!!!”

Another sound like the wind, sweeping past the other copper and iron blade arm of the Poisonous Pigeon puppet.

This time, the Poisonous Pigeon puppet reacted quite quickly, immediately using its blade arm to block!

“Clang!!!!”

The copper and iron blade broke upon impact, leaving only half an arm on the Poisonous Pigeon puppet!

It was supposedly blade against blade, and the puppet’s transformed blade arm was no less than some of the finest swords. Zhao Yin Ge had spent who knows how much gold and silver on this mechanical puppet, collecting various materials that perfectly fit this puppet

“Whoosh!!!”

Yet another sword strike, this time aimed at the legs of the mechanical puppet.

Its legs, fully cast from pure copper, were impervious to swords and spears. One kick could easily send stones flying, but this mysterious sword could slice through metal like mud

Both legs were directly chopped off.

Like a mud figure.

This puppet, which even the teeth of a Dragon Beast might not bite through, was no different from a mud statue!

Inside the tower, upon the wooden chair, Zhao Yin Ge’s face had turned livid, his visage becoming increasingly ferocious.

His hands and feet were chopped off again!

Even though it was just a distant puppet, he couldn’t feel the pain, but the humiliation felt even more intense than before!!
