125: Chapter 125 Great Heavenly Dragon Palm
Gathering these two factions together had already fulfilled the first step of his plan; now, it was just a matter of lighting this powder keg!
Thinking of this, Chun Xiaobai felt a stir in his heart and immediately channeled the newly learned "Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Palm".
The next second, the power within his body surged like a bursting river, rushing toward his arms and finally gathering in his palms.
He let out a low, secret shout.
"The Dragon Repents!"
Awoo!
Suddenly, a heaven-shaking dragon roar exploded violently amidst the crowd of the Righteous Alliance!
Before anyone could react, they only felt a stinging pain in their eardrums.
Looking up, they saw a golden dragon phantom several zhang long roaring out, crashing into the dense, dark torrent of steel from Tiansha Valley with unstoppable momentum!
Wherever the golden dragon phantom passed, those bulky Battle Puppets, several zhang high, were like paper; they were sent flying into the sky and smashed heavily onto the ground.
The moment they landed, several Battle Puppets were shattered into scattered parts by the violent palm force on the spot!
Seeing this scene, the crowd was stunned right where they stood.
"Th-this... what is this spiritual technique?!"
"So terrifying!"
"Who did this?!"
Seeing this, Ye Liuli felt a towering rage ignite in her beautiful eyes. Too lazy to waste any more words with them, she waved her jade hand and ordered sharply.
"Attack! Leave none alive!"
"Kill—!"
On the Tiansha Valley side, the twenty thousand Disciples instantly turned bloodshot. Controlling their Battle Puppets, they charged fiercely toward the Righteous Alliance Disciples opposite them like a bursting flood.
As for the Righteous Alliance, seeing that torrent of steel rushing over, the Disciples who had just been clamoring to eliminate demons and defend the Dao were instantly scared out of their wits. Without a second thought, they turned and ran.
The army of fifty thousand was already in shambles before the fight even began.
Especially that Alliance Leader, Lu Yunfei; he immediately fished out a Spirit Movement Talisman from his bosom and slapped it onto the soles of his feet. With a "whoosh," he vanished, running faster than anyone else.
"You!"
Qin Ruoxue looked at his cowardly appearance, her delicate body trembling with anger.
But she had no intention of retreating. Her gaze was like a sword, locking directly onto Ye Liuli atop the Battle Puppet.
She raised her long sword, her form like lightning, and went straight to kill Ye Liuli!
The next instant, the two beautiful figures were locked in battle, Sword Qi and demonic flames intertwined, spiritual light surging.
The residual energy dancing across the sky shredded all vegetation within a hundred zhang radius, and the ground was plowed into bottomless ravines, the momentum terrifying.
And at this moment, Chun Xiaobai was completely dumbfounded.
"Am... am I this strong now?"
He looked at his palms blankly. That one palm strike just now had sent over a dozen Profound Rank Medium Grade Battle Puppets flying, and five or six of them had been smashed to pieces directly!
Just as he was distracted, he realized that the surrounding Righteous Alliance Disciples, except for those bellicose Core Disciples still resisting, had long since run off completely.
Without the cover of the crowd, he, the culprit, instantly became the unlucky one.
Several Profound Rank Medium Grade Battle Puppets took heavy, measured steps as they surrounded him to kill.
"Damn it!"
The other Tiansha Valley Disciples, meanwhile, had all gone off to pursue the fleeing Alliance Disciples.
After all, those were all shiny points!
"Damn it!"
Chun Xiaobai cursed under his breath, charging through the chaotic battlefield, dodging left and right, nimbly evading the onslaught of one steel Battle Puppet after another.
His shifty eyes were darting around, searching for the perfect opportunity to take hostages.
In this canyon battlefield, both sides of the Righteous and Evil paths had completely lost their minds in the slaughter.
From time to time, a Core Disciple of the Righteous Alliance would be sent flying by a punch from a Battle Puppet, smashing heavily into the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Then, regardless of any loss of face, they would fumble to slap a few Spirit Movement Talismans onto their soles and vanish from the spot in the blink of an eye.
In just a few breaths of time, a dozen steel Battle Puppets were tailing Chun Xiaobai.
These big guys would frequently unleash heavy, powerful leaps, bringing whistling winds as they smashed down toward his head.
Although his movement technique was abnormal, even a thousand ants could kill an elephant; he couldn't withstand the sheer number of these steel giants!
He took a moment to scan the surroundings and finally realized that those so-called Core Disciples had almost all fled, leaving all the firepower and pressure to fall squarely on his lone head.
"Damn it!"
He had intended to take advantage of the chaos to kidnap a few more durable hostages.
With no other choice, he spotted an opening, took advantage of the chaos to use Shrinking Ground to an Inch, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot.
The next second, he had appeared like a ghost on top of a Profound Rank Medium Grade Battle Puppet's head, and without a word,
He directly channeled the "Sky-Tearing Hand". With a "rip," he pried open the sturdy cockpit hatch, lowered his body, and squeezed inside.
"Ah—!"
A shrill scream suddenly rang out inside the cockpit.
"Damn it, it's a woman!"
Chun Xiaobai paused for a moment, but his hands didn't stop.
He rubbed his hands together, closed the distance in a flash, and directly tapped the female Disciple's acupoints, rendering her instantly immobile.
Then, he snatched the control token, forcibly erased the Divine Sense imprint on it, and re-bound it to himself.
A moment later, this Battle Puppet turned, took large strides, and chased after the few Righteous Alliance Core Disciples he had already targeted who were struggling to hold on.
He used the same trick again: rushing out of the Battle Puppet, closing the distance in a flash, tapping the acupoints of those Core Disciples one by one, and without a word, hauling them all into the cockpit.
In less than an hour, he had used the same method to pack the five-square-meter cockpit completely full.
Afterward, Chun Xiaobai drove the Battle Puppet to a hidden mountain hollow, transferred these fresh hostages to Fang Yuan and Xiao Zhang, who were waiting there, and had them transport them back to the lair for safekeeping.
After finishing all this, he found another place, changed back into his signature night-walking outfit, put on the bandit mask he had brought from Black Wind Stronghold, revealing only his two shifty eyes.
He then headed back toward the center of the raging battlefield.
Not long after setting off, Chun Xiaobai heard a series of violent roars from ahead.
He crept over and peeked, only to find it was a Battle Puppet chasing a group of Righteous Alliance Disciples, jumping up and down in the canyon before him—a lively scene indeed.
Chun Xiaobai just took one look and lost interest, leaving directly.
These small fries weren't worth his effort.
With less than four days left, he had to kidnap as many valuable Core Disciples as he could within this time.
He continued on like this, using the Heaven-Treading Step, walking and stopping through the mountain forests.
But along the way, there were fleeing Alliance Disciples everywhere. Occasionally, he would see a few Tiansha Valley Battle Puppets searching about, but he didn't see a shadow of a single Core Disciple.
Come to think of it, this trial was meant to be the Core Disciples' main stage.
