Chapter 44: Machines (5)
"Fruit...it's really extraordinary..."
Mr. Tang, who was hanging in the air, spoke with difficulty. As soon as he spoke, he was bleeding from his mouth and nose. At least he had more than a dozen wounds on his body that were penetrated by the firearm projectiles, and countless people were wiped out. One ear was gone, and a large gap on his mouth exposed the teeth and flesh inside. I don’t know if he was lucky or at a critical moment, he saw the shooting direction of the firearms and adjusted his posture in the air. Finally, the absolutely fatal part of his heart and mind was not touched. He looked full of blood, but it was not fatal for a while.
He Sier, who was pressed in the middle by several mechanical beasts, was also shocked. It has to be admitted that the combat power displayed by these mechanical beasts just now completely exceeded the concept of mechanical people in Jianghu. The skills, combat power, response, etc. of Tang Erye are worthy of the head of the Tang family, far beyond ordinary masters. It can be said that if they were still ordinary mechanical beasts, even if hundreds of them came, they would not be able to hurt him. But in the end, he fell under the attack of dozens of Tiangong mechanical beasts.
These Tiangong-level mechanical beasts are indeed larger, stronger and faster than ordinary mechanical beasts. The firearm mechanism on their bodies is more refined and powerful. However, in terms of concept, they are completely different from other mechanical beasts. They are as flexible as if they are truly alive and have extremely tacit cooperation. The combat power of mechanical beasts has never been favored by the heroes of the martial arts world, because no matter how powerful the mechanical beasts and firearms are, they are too clumsy to operate, not to mention the exquisite light skills and body skills.
The masters can avoid even those who react slightly faster, and they are not in the eyes of masters except for fighting in battle formations. Now, the dozens of mechanic beasts under Fang Zhifang's command completely subvert this concept. Even the monsters driven by the Yunzhou people who are best at taming beasts and the various insects and beasts raised by the Xidi people will never be able to cooperate in such a delicate and flexible way. With cooperation and flexible mechanic beasts, they can magnify the power of the mechanic and the firearm themselves by hundreds of times.
Such a mechanical beast can really have thousands of momentum... He Sier imagined the situation slightly and then got goose bumps. It was almost a desperate scene.
Calm, calm. Calm... He Sier closed her eyes and recited silently several times in her heart before she calmed her mind. From the beginning, she was almost a pure spectator. Countless mechanisms of impact weapons and flying fire weapons roared too fast, and she didn't have time to react. If Tang Qingxiao hadn't protected her, the first round of hidden weapons might have shot her into a honeycomb. And now Tang Qingxiao is no longer by her. She feels that she must do something and that she must do. She will definitely not die when she falls into the hands of the Yongzhou Army, but she would rather die than become a piece that others threaten her parents and threaten the Nangong family.
These are just mechanisms. The mechanism always needs a mechanism, just keep it under control. He Sier's mind slowly immersed in her chest. The Shangqing Sanyuan Ding Spirit Talisman she hid close to her body began to emit a faint light. This is a fifth-grade spiritual talisman. Even if her father He Jinzhi wanted to make such a spiritual talisman, it would take a lot of trouble. In addition to spending much top-grade materials, it would also hurt the vitality. It can be said that this is a magic weapon of Taoism. As long as the power of this spiritual talisman is fully stimulated, it is very likely to reverse the situation. The Shangqing Spirit Talisman has no effect on the Tiemu Mechanism. But Fang Zhifang, who is hiding in the mechanism, is a human.
But the divine thoughts began to resonate with the spirit-fixing talisman just now. The heavy pressure and severe pain suddenly came from her limbs and body completely interrupted her attention. The mechanical feet pressing on her body suddenly began to squeeze in the middle. She could almost hear her bones squeaking "shenyin". She gritted her teeth and held back her screams, and was about to force the power of the spirit-fixing talisman. The iron pipes of several firearms were aimed at her not far away.
Zhifang's cold voice came from the mechanical beast in the distance: "Miss He, I know you have the Shangqing spiritual talisman from the Maoshan School on you to defend yourself. I am an amateur in Taoism, but the crystal of the magic on this mechanical beast can see clearly what you are doing. I might as well tell you that the Kunlun School's Guyuan Formation is engraved in the cabin of the mechanical beast. But I know that the spiritual talisman on your body is very good, so I can make a safe plan. As long as you move again, I will immediately break your hands and feet with a firearm."
These words and the severe pain from her body finally completely defeated He Sier's fighting spirit. The level of this Shangqing Spirit Talisman is too high. Even if she has gone through a long period of running-in for a long time, she cannot be activated in the blink of an eye. She only hears the coldness in Fang Zhifang's voice. She knows that this strong woman who has been forced into the lonely will not have any hesitation at all.
"...even this is a defensive move, Master Fang is a good method..." Mr. Tang, who was dying in the air, could still exclaim while vomiting blood. Then he looked at Tang Qing in the distance and nodded. "Okay, I've seen everything I should see."
This was just a sentence without any hostility, but Fang Zhifang, who had the absolute advantage in the scene, only hesitated for a blink of an eye, and then immediately made the strongest reaction. The mechanical arm with one of Mr. Tang Er's arm suddenly exerted force, and Mr. Tang Er's arm broke into a strange angle like dried noodles. Then all the firearms on all the mechanical beasts changed the angle, half facing Mr. Tang Er's arm, and half chuckled at Tang Qing in the distance.
After leaving, Tang Qingxiao stood about twenty or thirty feet away from these group of organs. She was neither at a distance of escape nor at all threatening. He was indeed standing there without moving, whether looking at the bloody Master Tang Er or He Sier who was pressed like an ant under the feet of several organs, she had no worries on her face, and she was still so cold and a little burning in the depths. It was not until Master Tang Er was able to say that he raised the knife in his hand and slashed it far away.
When he raised the sword high, the red light that appeared faintly on the big sword on the back suddenly lit up. It was obvious that there was no visible light, but He Sier, who was so far away, could not help but close his eyes. When this sword was cut, He Sier felt a sense of panic and despair inexplicably, as if he was about to be cut into two pieces under this sword and turned into powder.
But what followed was silence and nothing happened. Only Tang Qing, who seemed to be in the distance, chuckled and spit out a large mouthful of blood. The blood turned into extremely fine powder and drifted away in the air.
After spitting out the blood, Tang Qingxiao's face turned paler, making him, who was already haggard, look even more like the wind would fall down. He shook his body, but he still struggled to carry the knife on his shoulders, and walked towards him with a staggering pace.
Until he walked over and walked into the encirclement of these mechanical beasts, he cut off the mechanical arm that was pressing against He Sier's body with one knife, and then cut off the mechanical arm that was clamped with Master Tang Er, gently caught Master Tang Er, put it down, and took out the ointment to apply it to the wound on his body. None of these mechanical beasts had any movement. The mechanical beasts, which were just agile and active, just like a truly alive beast, have now completely lost their movement and returned to their true puppet colors.
"This...what is going on?" He Sier stared at the mechanical beasts that were completely motionless around her. In fact, when Tang Qingxiao waved her sword, she felt that the huge pressure that was almost falling apart was gone. But she still didn't understand why this sword of Yaoyao could kill these mechanical beasts.
"A mechanism is just a mechanism after all. As long as you find that key, it is actually very fragile." Tang Qingxia skillfully straightened Tang Erye's arm, restored, applied medicine, and answered casually.
The creaking mechanism suddenly sounded again. He Sier looked in panic, but only saw one mechanism beast recovering its ability to move. However, the remaining mechanism beast did not mean to attack the three of them, but turned around and ran away. The movements seemed to have no longer had the previous flexible coordination, and the indescribable sense of stagnation of ordinary mechanisms. It was the mechanism beast that Fang Zhifang was hiding and riding.
The second master of Tang on the ground just glanced at the mechanical beast who was about to escape and said to He Sier: "Xiao Si wants to help me to correct my bones. He Yatou, please leave Master Fang. His Shenji Hall randomly invites some wild Taoist priests to seal the Guyuan formation that can't stop the real Shangqing Spirit Talisman."
"Yeah." He Sier was slightly stunned, and still jumped on the back of a mechanic beast to concentrate and chant, matching the mind and the spirit in her chest. A clear light was projected from her and shone directly on the mechanic beast that was flying far away. Although the mechanic beast did not stop directly, it kept its original direction and hit a rock and fell to the ground. Then, like a turtle that could not turn over, it could only slash its limbs on the ground in vain, no longer as flexible as before.
Mr. Tang was indeed very serious. However, after applying various spiritual medicines outside and taking them internally, he stood up by himself. A true master like him who can enter the innate realm of martial arts, whether it is the external hard skills or the internal real power, his vitality is almost the endless inner alchemy method of Taoist students, and his ability to control limbs and organs is far superior to that of ordinary masters. It can be said that as long as the head and heart are not broken, it will not be truly fatal. The medicines used on the body are all the best spiritual medicines refined by the Medicine King Valley or the Tang family themselves. It is a bit reluctant to fight with people for a while, but they can already act like ordinary people.
At this time, He Sier realized that it seemed that Tang Erye and Tang Qingxiao had known that they would be seriously injured, and they had all the various spiritual medicines on their bodies. Moreover, Tang Qingxiao's knife that stopped all the mechanical beasts just now was obviously able to be cut from the beginning, but he had to stay until this last moment.
After he stood up, Mr. Tang only took a few breaths of breath, and then walked through the group of mechanic beasts that were still mechanically kicking his legs with Tang Qingxiao and He Sier as if he had passed through a small stone jungle. He came to the mechanic beasts not far away that were still mechanically kicking their legs. He took a breath, reached out and punched the top of the mechanic beasts, coughed a small mouthful of blood. A hatch door on the top of the mechanic beasts also bounced open, revealing Fang Zhifang who was fainting inside. Her hands and feet were still placed on the triggers and wheels of several manipulating the mechanic beasts.
This time, Mr. Tang obviously did not mean to give this Master Fang any chance. He stepped forward and bent his fingers on her shoulders, bounced twice on his knees, and made a slight sound before dragging her out.
Although Mr. Tang's second-hand blinking action was light, He Si'er sighed when she saw it. She could see that these blinking fingers had actually shattered the joints and tendons on Fang Zhifang's shoulders and knees, which were actually similar to cutting them down directly, and even damaged them even more seriously. It seemed that for the Tang family, this master of the General Secretary Fang, was finally of no value.
"He Yat-tung, let Master Fang wake up. Your uncle has specially reminded her to ask her if you have something to do." Mr. Tang said to He Sier. He Sier then chanted the spell and pinched her fingers and pointed at Fang Zhifang. A clear light passed by, and Fang Zhifang woke up slowly.
Fang Zhifang couldn't help but shout "shenyin" as soon as she woke up. The shattered limb joints must have been extremely painful, but her mind was obviously not on it at all. She stared at Mr. Tang Er, staring at him with despair and bloodshot eyes, as if asking, and it seemed like a half-crazy person muttering to herself: "How is it possible...How can you destroy the nodes of the Divine Light Soldier Talisman so simply? Even the top-grade Taoist Technique that specializes in the art of divine souls cannot be broken so easily. We have tried...We have tried..."
Mr. Tang smiled weakly: "Because the innate sword that Xiao Si can cut out contains the broken demon power that is only one step away from reaching the peak. Innately, the ghost heart puppets in the Tiangong Mechanical Beasts, and the ghost heart curse spirit in the divine light weapon talisman. After all, no matter how many magical uses of the ghost heart curse, it is only the last one among the five strategies of the heavenly demon. It is also due to nature to be restrained by all other techniques. No matter how many low-level magic arrays you use to protect, it is useless based on the resonance and resonance between the five strategies of the heavenly demons."
Fang Zhifang's eyes were almost bulging out of her eyelids, her face twisted, and she murmured: "You...you...how could you know? How could you, how could you..."
"Of course it was told by Lord Nangong Wuji. Otherwise, we wouldn't have guessed that the most core secret of this Tiangong Plan was actually the ghost curse, and we wouldn't have guessed the real reason why you are not afraid of being by your side for decades, Master Fang, you are not afraid of being around you for decades." Mr. Tang said with a smile. "By the way. Lord Nangong Wuji also specifically asked me to ask you something. He had been waiting for this sentence for twenty years. He originally wanted to ask you in person, but now he has something important to you, and he is afraid that you can't wait for him, so I ask me to ask you: When you and that woman stole this Shenjitang and Tiangong Plan from others, did you really think of it as your own thing? Didn't you expect someone to take it back sooner or later?"
"So he knew it before... So he knew it before..." As he murmured, the expression on Fang Zhifang's face and the divine light in her eyes slowly dissipated.
Fang Zhifang was not dead, but the only difference between it and the dead was that she had breathed a sigh of relief. Even when Mr. Tang used his fingertips to cut open the hairline on her forehead and took out a jade tablet hidden under the flesh, she did not react at all.
This is a jade token that is slightly larger than the nail. The flesh and blood stuck to it cannot cover up the extremely fine pattern. Mr. Tang carefully blew off the stains on it, took them in front of him, and nodded with a smile: "This is the trigger that Master Fang is confident that he can hold in his hand... It is indeed the Kunlun School's technique. Those divine light military talismans are also imitations. We should have seen it a long time ago."
"Hold it carefully, He Yatou, this is what your second uncle wants." Mr. Tang handed the jade to He Sier. "You have heard and seen everything that happened today, and the words of Master Fang and I. Let you be a witness. This is also one of the purposes of your second uncle asking you to come to Tangjiabao."
"This...what is going on today?" He Sier took the jade token and finally couldn't help asking.
Mr. Tang replied lightly: "It's nothing. Just as your second uncle said in his letter, we are going to divide the Shenjitang into two. Those who should belong to our Tangjiabao belong to our Tangjiabao. We have already "buyed" all the craftsmen and talents in the machinery. We will not move around if we should belong to the Shadow Guard, and just wait for them to come and get it. As for today, it is an opportunity to test the real ability of this Tiangong Plan. If you don't explain it to you in advance, you will scare you a little."
"No...I mean...it's all..."
