Great Demon Leader: Start By Refining Flying Zombies

Chapter 25: The Masses of Chaos

"What is that thing!"

Luo Dongbao was greatly shocked. Suddenly, his spiritual awareness in his sea of consciousness went crazy, leaving him no time to think. He could only reluctantly use his golden iron ring blade to block in front of his chest.

Clang!

The bronze long spear collided with the ring blade, only slightly reducing its force. In the blink of an eye, the ring blade deformed and then shattered.

"Damn it, my Law Weapon!"

Luo Dongbao's expression became ferocious. Ignoring the pain in his body, he activated his entire body's spiritual power. With the force from the collision, his figure violently retreated, finally avoiding this terrifying attack.

Boom!

The bronze long spear's momentum did not diminish, plunging into the nearby ground and directly creating a large hole.

Liang Xiao's expression also changed. The hole on the ground was comparable to being bombarded by a shell. Fortunately, the attack was aimed at Luo Dongbao, who was at the Qi Refining Late Stage. If it had been directed at him, he would have been seriously injured.

Deng deng deng!

Several dozen steps away, the mechanical puppet retracted its throwing posture and instead swung its hands, taking large strides towards the group.

At first, its movements were somewhat awkward, but after a few steps, it became faster and faster, eventually becoming as swift as a fierce beast, stirring up a gust of wind.

"It's a Guardian Puppet, unknown grade. Everyone, be careful. I can't believe that after hundreds of years, there's actually something like this here!"

Yu Guang's face darkened, loudly reminding everyone. Then, he extended his arm forward, infused it with spiritual power, and a beast-headed arm armor emitted a bright light, forming a half light shield in front of him.

The Guan siblings' expressions were slightly panicked as they stood side by side, their hands forming hand seals, preparing to unleash a combined spell. Their attack would have the power of a mid-stage Qi Refining.

"Ah... I'm sorry!"

Unfortunately, when Guan Lin saw the ferocious puppet approaching rapidly, her hands trembled, causing a flaw in her hand seals and resulting in a failed spellcasting.

Without any spells to hinder it, the puppet's speed reached its limit.

Bang!

Soon, the Guardian Puppet collided with Yu Guang, emitting a muffled sound, and a ring of energy exploded.

The beast-headed arm armor was Yu Guang's proud defensive Law Weapon. Although its light rapidly contracted, it ultimately withstood the attack.

But as the Guardian Puppet stood still, it suddenly punched with its right hand. The light shield could no longer hold on and directly retracted into the arm armor.

Yu Guang's face turned pale, and he was knocked back several steps by the punch, retreating until his feet sank three inches into the ground before finally stopping.

"A Rank One Peak Puppet, comparable to the ninth level of Qi Refining. Its body is impervious to blades and spears, and it's unbeatable!"

Guan Qiu was greatly shocked. He grabbed Guan Lin's wrist and then slapped two talismans, enveloping them in a gust of wind.

Liang Xiao could see clearly. It was a lightweight talisman that increased their speed!

However, what he didn't expect was that the siblings chose opposite directions and silently turned around to flee. They actually ran away in the face of danger!

"Insufficient success, excessive failure!"

Luo Dongbao saw the Guan siblings directly running away and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

But then he noticed Yu Guang, who had just taken a hit head-on, also hesitating. It seemed that he was considering escaping as well, which made Luo Dongbao anxious.

A Rank One Peak puppet had astonishing combat power and enduring strength. With Luo Dongbao's eighth level of Qi Refining, it would be difficult to determine the outcome if he were to fight alone.

"The difficulty of this mission has changed. The previous 90-10 split has become a 80-20 split. Those who stay to fight, I, Lao Luo, will not treat unfairly!"

Luo Dongbao shouted with great conflict, dividing the benefits, but Yu Guang, Qin Long, and Liang Xiao's reactions were still minimal.

Liang Xiao shook his head in his heart. Even a discerning person could see that this formidable puppet was currently difficult to contend with, yet Luo Dongbao was still conflicted about how to divide the benefits.

And he still wanted to take the lion's share alone.

It is indeed true that greed clouds one's judgment.

Before, I thought that this Luo Dongbao had some special means, but now it seems that he is probably just driven by pure greed and a sense of luck.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, let's not talk about splitting the rewards at this moment. If you don't have any powerful means, I won't fight alongside you."

"With the strength of this puppet, it has already exceeded the level of this exploration mission. We have the right to refuse your command."

Qin Long, who had always been mysterious, looked solemnly at the terrifying puppet in front of him and said coldly.

"Yeah, I don't mind giving up those fifty spirit stones. What's the point of risking our lives?"

Yan Guang narrowed his eyes, glanced at Luo Dongbao sideways, feeling angry and no longer polite.

Because he had just discovered that after briefly fighting with the puppet, there was a slight crack on the arm armor that he considered as important as his life. Besides the pain, he became even more wary of the enemy in front of him.

Liang Xiao squinted his eyes without saying a word, but kept his eyes fixed on the puppet in front of him. He had secretly activated the Ghost Shadow Step and was thinking about what means he could use to deal with this puppet if he were to fight it.

I wonder how effective a single soldier rocket launcher would be against it. Its power should not be lower than a strike from someone at the Qi Refining Late Stage!

With the addition of Pandora's flying ability, he was somewhat confident in self-defense.

"You guys... hmph!"

Luo Dongbao's expression became extremely ugly. He didn't expect to encounter such a difficult enemy at the beginning of this exploration, and his offensive Law Weapon happened to be destroyed.

The little benefits he had promised before were no longer enough to motivate this group of teammates with their own thoughts.

Seeing that the situation was irretrievable, Luo Dongbao also had evil thoughts and sneered, "Since you don't want to join forces with me against the enemy, then go save yourselves!"

After speaking, Luo Dongbao raised his hand and wiped something from his storage bag.

A small bronze bell flew out and grew longer in the wind, covering him with a loud "clang" when the puppet guarding him punched it.

Luo Dongbao, along with the bell, was knocked away, looking embarrassed but not receiving much damage. He then retrieved the defensive Law Weapon, the bronze bell, in mid-air.

With a swift movement, he climbed up a rock wall like a big monkey and quickly escaped.

With the loss of the puppet's protection, the hatred was immediately redirected towards the three people present.

"Farewell, everyone!"

Yan Guang, who was furthest away from the puppet after being knocked away, raised a shield of light and retreated in a certain direction.

Qin Long frowned at this moment. She originally had the intention to fight.

If Luo Dongbao had some powerful means, she was willing to take action. But unexpectedly, this person just gave up and ran away.

Seeing this, she sighed and also took a few steps back.

Seeing that everyone was preparing to disperse.

Liang Xiao naturally wouldn't be polite to these strangers. Although he had the trump card of firearms, it was very likely that he would damage the puppet without gaining much benefit himself.

As a Demon Dao cultivator, encountering such a situation, it was already good enough not to take advantage of the situation. It was absolutely unacceptable to suffer losses.

At this moment, he didn't even bother with polite words. He immediately activated the Ghost Shadow Step and quickly escaped a hundred steps away by stepping on nearby large rocks.

Before leaving, Liang Xiao glanced back and saw that the puppet paused briefly in place, then retrieved the bronze halberd and chased after Qin Long, the white-robed female cultivator who had left.

Not long after, there were strong fluctuations of spiritual power and faint sounds of swords in the distance!

It seems that this woman is not good at escape techniques, didn't get far, and had bad luck, being targeted by the puppet. At this moment, she might not be able to escape with her life against a puppet that is comparable to someone at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

"Tsk, although having outstanding swordsmanship is good, if your speed is not good enough, you really won't live long. It's a pity."
