Chapter 221: The Insanely Powerful Gundam Number One And Gundam Number Two

The appearance of An Lin and his two puppets was something Augus and the others did not expect.

But no matter what happened, they had no other choice but to grit their teeth and charge into battle.

Qing Zhi knew that An Lin’s two puppets were extremely powerful, so he sent the Ba Jiao and Bu Dai puppets to battle them, with containment being the number one priority rather than trying to defeat them outright.

The other four puppets skirted around An Lin and the others and charged toward the war demon with the golden holy grail.

Augus also chose to cooperate with the four diamond Buddha puppets and unleashed a barrage of attacks.

The battle erupted again.

Qing Zhi soon found out that he had miscalculated, and it was a major miscalculation too.

The power of Gundam Number One and Gundam Number Two far exceeded his expectations.

When the Bu Dai and Ba Jiao puppets began to charge at them, one of the Gundams pushed both palms in front of it and unleashed a purple ring of light which enveloped its two assailants within.

Immediately afterward, extreme pressure began to appear between heaven and earth, crushing the two diamond Buddha puppets straight into the ground with the weight of ten thousand mountains.

Boom!

The ground cracked open violently as it became unable to bear such extreme force and began to cave-in in an extremely uniform fashion.

Qing Zhi, who was engaged in battle with the little girl felt a chill running down his spine as he detected the situation that the Bu Dai and Ba Jiao puppets were in. He glanced at Gundam Number One and Gundam Number Two and exclaimed in a trembling voice, “This is… gravitational control?”

Gravity was one of the most difficult forces to attain and use in the infinite different paths of Dao. This was the first time he had seen a puppet capable of manipulating gravity.

He was still yet to recover from his shock when the other Gundam suddenly propelled itself with flames shooting out of its back to appear almost instantly above the two diamond Buddha puppets.

It spread its hands open, and a blue sword of light which was constructed from some mysterious particles appeared in its hands.

At the same time, its eyes turned golden in color as it scanned the two puppets below it before it slashed down viciously toward the parts on their structures that were dented and cracked from the girl’s fists.

The slashes did not seem very powerful, but they all came from uncanny angles. They managed to both avoid the Ba Jiao puppet’s defenses while slashing into its most vulnerable parts as it began to dismember the Ba Jiao puppet’s body.

All of this happened in an instant, so from the perspective of a third person, it looked like the Gundam pounced on the Ba Jiao puppet, which was trapped under a force field of exponentially-boosted gravity, before slashing out in a beautiful arc and slicing the Ba Jiao puppet cleanly in half.

The Ba Jiao puppet disappeared in a burst of golden light.

Qing Zhi, who was the wielder of the puppets, instantly spat out a mouthful of blood from the backlash.

The Gundam did not stop there. Instead, it instantly slashed its sword toward the Bu Dai puppet, seemingly with no transition nor pause.

The Bu Dai puppet had already activated its divine ability as countless golden flying sword flew from its sleeves toward the Gundam, each of them imbued with the true intent of the Buddha.

In such close quarters, it was impossible for the Gundam to dodge.

The Gundam did not dodge. As a matter of fact, it twisted its body slightly so the golden swords hurtling at it did not strike any vital points while the blue sword in its hand continued to slash down in the same trajectory.

Each of its movements seemed to be choreographed. There were no undulating emotions. Instead, it exemplified the notion of “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”!

Boom!

Gold light erupted as the Gundam was knocked away by the diamond Buddha puppet, but the Bu Dai puppet’s head was also decapitated by Gundam Number One…

Qing Zhi once again received backlash from this, but this time, it was not as simple as just coughing up a mouthful of blood. His whole body swayed as he struggled to stay upright. Even the four diamond Buddha puppets still under his control seemed to falter in their movements, as if they were going to collapse.

Shirley was immediately startled into using her strongest healing spell technique on Qing Zhi.

If Qing Zhi fell now, their situation would instantly become a dire one.

Qing Zhi stared at the silvery-white puppets with fear in his eyes. The puppet that had exerted gravitational control had already turned his gaze upon the other four diamond Buddha puppets.

The mechanical puppet that had been knocked aside by the Bu Dai puppet also stood up again and dusted itself off. There was no hint of any damage sustained from the blow it took.

Qing Zhi was overwhelmed with shock at the sight of this and immediately yelled out, “Augus, finish this quickly, we don’t have any time!”

Indeed! They really had no time now!

The power of An Lin’s twin mechanical puppets had far exceeded his expectations.

If both of the mechanical puppets entered the fray, the only possible result would be a one-sided massacre!

The angelic projection in the air began to increase the intensity of its attacks as it worked in coordination with the four diamond Buddha puppets to rain down attacks on the little girl, causing the earth to fracture and mountains to crumble with their terrifying might.

The little girl was struck a few times by the oncoming attacks, but she also shattered the head of the Chang Mei puppet in the process.

The battle was extremely brutal and blood began to seep out of the corner of her mouth, and her soft, petite face was starting to appear a little swollen.

Qing Zhi’s whole body trembled as he fought to maintain control of the puppets while he forcefully held himself upright.

An Lin and Liu Qianhuan chose to engage in guerrilla tactics outside the battle by unleashing a few powerful spell techniques from time to time to disrupt the opposition without actually entering the fray themselves.

Firstly, this was to prevent Augus from focusing his attacks on An Lin in a bid to remove the threat posed by Gundam Number One and Gundam Number Two. Secondly, they weren’t powerful enough to battle Augus and the others head-on anyway…

Liu Qianhuan was initially worried that An Lin would be targeted by everyone in the opposition for his control over the Gundams. But it was a pity that by the time they came to realize just how fearsome the Gundams were, two of the diamond Buddha puppets had already been vanquished, and they had lost their opportunity to strike at An Lin.

Almost each and every one of the spectators on the Blue Sky Plaza was staring in a daze at the mechanical puppets glowing with a silvery-white light.

Just a few moments ago, the two Gundams were able to vanquish two of the powerful diamond Buddha puppets in a matter of seconds. This was simply far too shocking for them to comprehend, especially when they considered that the wielder of the Gundams was only a Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage cultivator.

One had to realize that whether a mechanical puppet was powerful or not depended heavily on the wielder’s mind, Qi, and consciousness.

In other words, it was usually the case that the stronger the wielder was, the more powerful the mechanical puppets that they could manipulate. However, the mechanical puppets An Lin was manipulating were unimaginably powerful, and it appeared that An Lin was still able to engage in guerrilla warfare at the same time, seemingly as if he did not even need to focus any attention on controlling them.

The feeling that this scene gave everyone… was as if he had just summoned two Soul Formation Stage helpers which could fight completely autonomously…

The students were OK; these were God An’s mechanical puppets after all, so no matter how insane they were, it was still acceptable to them.

But the entourages from the other three powers were completely unable to accept what was happening.

Are these really f*cking puppets? They aren’t armor-clad warriors, are they?!

Xu Xiaolan was also quite confused. These mechanical puppets looked like they required zero control, and their appearances were quite strange as well.

Su Qianyun detected her confusion and began to patiently explain to her the unique aspects of the mechanical puppets An Lin was using. This included things like smart autonomous control and power cores, causing Xu Xiaolan to gasp in amazement.

As Xu Xiaolan listened to Su Qianyun’s explanation, her mind was beginning to drift away from the mechanical puppets. She was instead lamenting at the fact that Su Qianyun knew so much about An Lin that she didn’t; this truly was not a good feeling.

In the VIP stands, a woman with wispy brows clenched her hands into fists as she stared intently with a scorching gaze at the mechanical puppets on the crystal screen. “There’s no mistaking it, those are mechanical bloodline contraptions from the Purple Star Research Institute! Who would’ve thought An Lin would be in possession of such treasures…”

The battle had finally progressed into its final moments.

The angelic projection and the diamond Buddha puppets were unable to vanquish the golden holy grail’s war demon before the Gundams began to force their way into the battle.

Augus’ face fell as he made an important decision in these dire circumstances.
