Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1255: Chapter 1254: Saint-Level Puppets

”Is this still within the Mechanism City?”

Ling Chen looked back, but couldn’t see any doors, as if he suddenly appeared in the passageway, with a passage ahead and a passage behind.

”Strange!”

Ling Chen furrowed his brows, the center of his forehead tensed, and his Mental Power spread out one hundred meters, two hundred meters... beyond two hundred meters, he couldn’t sense anything.

Exhaling slowly, Ling Chen retracted his Mental Power, ”This place is like a labyrinth, interconnected in all directions. It won’t be easy to find a way out.”

Ling Yin also frowned slightly, ”My sensing range is limited to five hundred meters as well.”

The Thunder Sound Sword was drawn, and Ling Chen slashed at the left wall with one sword stroke.

With a hiss, a sword scar several inches deep was left on the passage wall, with iron-silver shavings scattering and falling to the ground.

”Normal sword techniques are almost ineffective?”

Indeed, using a killing move was several times more powerful than a normal attack. However, Ling Chen didn’t know his specific location, and even if he cut through the passage wall, it would be like entering from one passage to another, a futile effort.

”We’ve lost the sensation of Elder Shen and the others, seems we’ve exceeded the distance,” Ling Yin said.

”No worries. With Master’s strength, we don’t need to worry about her.”

Ling Chen shook his head, calmly surveying the surroundings. ”It’s ourselves we should be concerned about.”

”Let’s go, we’ll explore the path first.”

With that, Ling Chen chose a direction and walked toward that passage.

As Ling Chen predicted, this place was indeed a large maze, heavily booby-trapped. However, Ling Chen and Ling Yin were extremely perceptive people, and moreover, Ling Yin’s Heavenly Eyes could see through many mechanism traps, sparing them much unnecessary trouble.

”There’s a secret chamber here.”

After advancing for about ten minutes, the two arrived at a relatively open area, and Ling Chen’s gaze fell on a hidden stone door. He suddenly slapped his palm onto it, blowing away the dust outside, revealing the outline of the stone door.

With just a gentle push, there was a ”boom,” and the stone door suddenly opened wide. A very ancient smell suddenly emanated from within.

Upon entering the secret chamber, a vast enclosed space unfolded before their eyes, with walls standing dozens of zhang high. Within sight, there were massive Puppets, some standing, some kneeling, some lying down, all in various forms. However, it was certain that these Puppets were almost all scrapped, severely damaged.

”The Mo Sect’s puppet mechanism technique is truly astonishing. Before these Puppets were scrapped, their power must have reached a terrifying level. Unfortunately, due to years of neglect, they all became scrapped.”

A trace of regret appeared on Ling Yin’s pretty face. These Puppets were in a completely different league from the ones surrounding them outside. Although those outside were troublesome, their attack power wasn’t strong, whereas these Puppets likely possessed formidable power, all being Saint-level puppets.

”The higher the level of the Puppet Mechanism, the more advanced materials are needed for maintenance. These Saint-level Puppets have been unmanaged for many years, so naturally, they are damaged.”

Ling Chen shook his head, feeling very regretful as well.

If any of these Puppets were still usable, they would be invaluable treasures. A Saint-level puppet is equivalent to having an unkillable Saint-level Servant, and within the same level, Saint-level puppets are much stronger than Saints.

Just as Ling Chen scouted around and found nothing but scrapped Puppets, as he prepared to leave, he suddenly caught sight of something at the center of the chamber. There, on the ground, a stone slab was unusually protruded, though only slightly, and it would be difficult to notice without careful observation.

With a mindset of giving it a try, Ling Chen casually walked to the front of the protruding slab, and then swept his sleeve, releasing a strong gust that swept away the dust on the ground, revealing the stone slab’s texture clearly.

On the stone slab, there was a palm print pattern. Ling Chen stretched out his hand and pressed it on the palm print pattern. The pattern suddenly sank, and Ling Chen’s hand perfectly embedded into the floor pattern, then a surge of True Qi suddenly poured out through Ling Chen’s hand!

Buzz!

The pattern suddenly lit up, the protruding stone slab abruptly sank, the entire secret chamber shook violently, and the ground cracked open into a huge vacuum area. Ling Chen swiftly flashed his body to the side, where he originally stood had been completely emptied, and with a series of rumbling sounds, two rectangular stone platforms gradually emerged from beneath the ground.

On the two stone platforms laid two metallic humanoid black shadows, approximately over three meters tall, the entire body inlaid with armor plates, made from unknown materials, exuding a glossy black sheen.

”These things... are Mo Clan Puppets?”

At the moment he saw the black shadow, Ling Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up.

”Brother Ling Chen, these two puppets seem to be undamaged.”

Ling Yin carefully examined the black puppet in front of her, a hint of joy appearing in her eyes.

”This is a good thing...”

A smile also blossomed on Ling Chen’s face at this moment. Although he didn’t know the exact level of these puppets, judging by their material, he knew that they were definitely not ordinary items. Although their size was somewhat smaller than the surrounding Saint-level puppets, their strength was certainly not weak!

And unexpectedly, such puppets appeared in a pair.

”It seems that the title of Youth Kings is indeed well-earned.”

Ling Chen knew that his and Ling Yin’s luck was closely related to their identity as Youth Kings, allowing them to obtain great opportunities amidst danger.

While Ling Chen was still recovering from excitement, Ling Yin had already sat down cross-legged, a thread of golden light shining from the center of her forehead, starting to infiltrate her Mental Power into the puppet in front of her to condense the Spirit Mark at the core of the puppet.

Only by successfully condensing the Spirit Mark could one truly control the puppets freely and become their master.

Generally, the stronger the puppet, the more difficult it is to condense the Spirit Mark. These two puppets were of extraordinary quality, and controlling them would not be an easy task.

”I should start as well.”

Ling Chen’s eyes showed a trace of eagerness. He rubbed his hands together, already impatient to control the puppet and give it a try. However, just as he was about to act, footsteps mixed with voices suddenly came from outside the chamber.
