Wuxia: The Super Slave Master

Page 175

Just now, Gongshu Chou almost saw the sharp sword slashing down towards his head several times, which frightened him so much that he closed his eyes.

Right now, Gongshu Chou slowly inserted the key into the stone hole and gently turned it. As Gongshu Chou slowly turned it, the huge stone door beside him slowly opened.

As the massive stone gate slowly opened before him, Gongshu Chou said to Luo Chen:

"Alright, let's go in! In this secret room, we need to be careful of poisoned arrows and various hidden weapons scattered around."

At this point, Gongshu Chou took the lead and picked up a few stones from the ground.

After weighing the stone in his hand for a few moments, Gongshu Chou quickly threw it away.

"Clang clang clang."

Several stones fell to the ground with a thud, and immediately a stream of poisoned arrows shot out from the stone holes on the side, heading towards the opposite wall.

Upon seeing this, Gongshu Chou carefully began to walk forward. When Gongshu Chou and Luo Chen had walked halfway...

Suddenly, a sound of a mechanism being triggered rang out. Upon hearing this, Gongshu Chou's face showed a look of terror, and he hurriedly rushed to the side.

All they could see were several sections of stone walls rapidly falling downwards, and those falling stone walls gleamed with a chilling metallic sheen.

As Gongshu Chou lunged forward, the swords and blades on the stone wall instantly embedded themselves in the floor. Seeing the scene behind him, Gongshu Chou breathed a sigh of relief, then angrily said:

"I didn't expect the Mo family to have changed the original mechanism. It seems we need to be careful from now on."

Upon hearing Gongshu Chou's words, Luo Chen remained unconcerned. If all the mechanisms here were truly that simple, then he had nothing to be nervous about.

Upon seeing this, Luo Chen quickly followed Gongshu Chou ahead.

At this moment, the surrounding walls suddenly began to shake. Gongshu Chou was puzzled and hurriedly looked around for a way to deactivate the mechanism.

The surrounding walls began to shrink rapidly, and an unprecedented look of tension appeared on Gongshu Chou's face. Seeing this, Lin Yi calmly said to Gongshu Chou:

"Is our path forward there?"

After saying that, Luo Chen pointed to the side with his finger.

When Gongshu Chou heard Luo Chen's words, he cursed inwardly:

"At this point, even if there's a road ahead, we won't get out unless we find a way to stop the traps in front of us!"

Seeing that Gongshu Chou remained silent, Luo Chen's voice gradually grew louder, and he loudly questioned Gongshu Chou:

"I'm asking you, is that place?"

Upon hearing Luo Chen's voice, Gongshu Chou shuddered in fright and hurriedly nodded.

After receiving Gongshu Chou's affirmation, Luo Chen concentrated his inner strength in his palm and struck one of the walls with a palm strike.

With a loud "boom," a deep passage appeared before Luo Chen. Upon seeing this, Luo Chen suddenly exerted force with his palm, sending Gongshu Chou flying into the passage.

With a scream as Gongshu Chou hit the ground, Luo Chen flashed in and rushed inside. Seeing Luo Chen enter, Gongshu Chou painfully stood up, brushed the dirt off himself, and said to Luo Chen:

"We're not far from the headquarters of that organization!"

Upon hearing Gongshu Chou's words, Luo Chen nodded, signaling Gongshu Chou to continue walking forward.

After traversing this long passage, a huge pool appeared before Luo Chen and Gongshu Chou. Upon seeing the enormous pool, Gongshu Chou excitedly shouted to Luo Chen:

"That's right, the main mechanism for destroying the mechanical city is in this pool."

After hearing Gongshu Chou's words, Luo Chen coldly replied:

"Now that we're here, why aren't you getting off!"

Chapter 435 Perception

Upon hearing Luo Chen's cold tone, Gongshu Chou hurriedly nodded, took a deep breath, and then leaped into the pool.

After Gongshu Chou entered the pool, he quickly swam downwards, and a huge gear appeared before his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Gongshu Chou's face lit up with surprise. He quickly swam towards the bottom of the pool, and when he reached the giant gear, he slowly extended his mechanical arm.

Immediately afterwards, Gongshu Chou quickly inserted his mechanical arm into the huge gear, and a metallic crushing sound came from inside the gear.

Just then, the giant gear stopped turning. Looking at his severed mechanical arm, Gongshu Chou showed no sign of heartache and hurriedly swam to the other side of the gear.

""

Just as the giant gear came to a stop, the mechanical city seemed to begin to shake. The giant, who was in his room, sensed this abnormality and hurriedly came out of his room.

Upon feeling the tremor, Master Ban rushed out and, seeing the Grand Master, hurriedly said to him:

"Master, something bad has happened. I suspect that someone has already entered the central control hub of the Mechanical City and is constantly causing damage."

Upon hearing Master Ban's words, the Grand Master's face showed anxiety, and he nervously asked Master Ban:

"Master Ban, is there any way to remedy this?"

Master Ban sighed helplessly and said to the Grand Master:

"Right now, all we can do is lead the Mohist disciples to investigate as quickly as possible. Hopefully, we can make it in time!"

At this moment, Xiang Shaoyu also quickly ran out from the side and hurriedly said to the Grand Master:

"Master, let me take a few disciples of the Mohist school to accompany Master Ban to investigate!"

After hearing Xiang Shaoyu's words, the Grand Master silently nodded and said to the two of them with concern:

"be careful!"

""

After receiving instructions from the Grand Master, Master Ban and Xiang Shaoyu led several Mohist disciples and quickly headed towards the central hub of the Mechanized City.

While Luo Chen was waiting by the pool, Xiang Shaoyu, Master Ban, and the others quickly arrived.

When Xiang Shaoyu saw Luo Chen's face, his expression turned angry, and he shouted loudly:

"Luo Chen, I will kill you today to avenge my uncle and my fallen brothers!"

After saying this, Xiang Shaoyu brandished his halberd and charged towards Luo Chen. Upon hearing the shout, Luo Chen slowly turned around. Seeing Xiang Shaoyu rushing towards him, he coldly snorted and said:

"You? You think too highly of yourself!"

As he spoke, a surge of internal energy began to gather in Luo Chen's palm. Seeing the halberd slashing down, Luo Chen reached out and grabbed at it.

Luo Chen's palm was like a giant pair of pincers. When the halberd came down on Luo Chen's head, it was tightly grasped in Luo Chen's palm.

Seeing that Luo Chen had grabbed the halberd in his hand, Xiang Shaoyu roared and forcefully swung the halberd upwards, trying to lift Luo Chen's body off the ground and into the air.

However, no matter how hard Xiang Shaoyu tried, Luo Chen seemed to be fused to the ground. No matter how hard Xiang Shaoyu tried, he could not move Luo Chen's body off the ground even an inch.

When Luo Chen saw this, he sneered and suddenly exerted force in his arm, lifting the end that Xiang Shaoyu was holding off the ground.

Luo Chen swung one end of his halberd directly at Xiang Shaoyu's chest. A heavy thud echoed from Xiang Shaoyu's chest, followed by a mouthful of bright red blood spurting from Luo Chen's mouth.

"Boom"

A dull thud echoed on the ground. When Xiang Shaoyu landed, he spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately lost consciousness.

Upon seeing this, Master Ban hurriedly called out to the Mohist disciples beside him:

"What are you all standing there for! Get up there!"

Upon hearing Master Ban's words, the Mohist disciples hurriedly brandished their swords and slashed towards Luo Chen.

At this moment, Luo Chen sneered when he saw the Mo family disciples supporting him. He suddenly exerted force and threw his halberd at the Mo family disciples.

The halberd that flew out flashed a cold light and pierced through the bodies of the Mo family disciples, pinning them to the wall.

Xiang Shaoyu, who had been unconscious, gradually regained consciousness. Upon seeing the corpses of the Mohist disciples before him, he struggled to his feet and weakly addressed Master Ban:

"Master Ban, you must leave quickly! This place is definitely not something you can handle. Go and tell the Grand Master what's happening here, and tell him and the others to evacuate immediately!"

Upon hearing Xiang Shaoyu's words, Master Ban hesitated, his expression shifting as he tentatively addressed Xiang Shaoyu:

"Shaoyu, I can't just leave you here like this!"

Seeing that Master Ban had not left, Xiang Shaoyu mustered his last bit of strength, lifted Master Ban off the ground, and quickly threw him out of the room.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Luo Chen remained completely unmoved by Xiang Shaoyu's actions. Only after Xiang Shaoyu had thrown Master Ban out did Luo Chen coldly say:

"You've taken care of everything before you passed away, haven't you? Now it's time for you to go!"

Just as Luo Chen finished speaking, a cold glint appeared in his eyes, and he quickly swung his weapon at Xiang Shaoyu in front of him.

"boom"

Before Xiang Shaoyu could react to the first palm strike, Luo Chen's palm struck Xiang Shaoyu's chest, and blood instantly dripped from Xiang Shaoyu's mouth onto the ground.

When Luo Chen removed his hand from Xiang Shaoyu's body, Xiang Shaoyu's body collapsed limply to the ground.

Chapter 436 The Long-Awaited Voice

At this moment, the surface of the water in the huge pool gradually began to roll, and the originally calm water surface began to rotate rapidly.

As the water level in the pool rapidly dropped, Luo Chen quietly waited. Meanwhile, Gongshu Chou, who was in the pool, had not expected that there was another mechanism inside after he destroyed the first one.

Now that he had destroyed the mechanism, a huge whirlpool was spinning in the pool, pulling Gongshu Chou's body into it.

As the iron plate drew ever closer, a look of panic gradually appeared on Gongshu Chou's face.

Instantly, the water in the pool gradually turned a bright red color, and then Gongshu Chou's corpse gradually floated on the surface of the water.

Seeing the massive mechanism fully exposed before him, Luo Chen gathered his inner strength in his palm and struck the massive mechanism with his palm.

"boom!"

After a loud bang, the massive mechanism was reduced to a pile of debris, which fell into the huge pit.

Meanwhile, after being thrown out by Xiang Shaoyu, Master Ban quickly ran into the Grandmaster's room.

"Master, something terrible has happened! All the mechanisms in the Mechanized City have been destroyed! You'd better leave immediately!"

After pushing the door open, Master Ban said anxiously to the Grand Master.

Upon hearing Master Ban's words, the Grand Master stood up from his seat in shock and exclaimed in panic:

"What? The mechanisms of the Mechanized City have been destroyed?"

"Yes, Master. You should leave now!" Master Ban hurriedly advised the Master.

At this moment, after receiving confirmation from Master Ban, the Grand Master directly took the longsword hanging to the side into his hand. The panic on his face disappeared, and he calmly said to Master Ban:

"Master Ban, go and gather all the Mohist disciples together to prepare for the upcoming crisis!"

Seeing the Grand Master's determined gaze, Master Ban sighed helplessly and quickly walked out of the room, with the Grand Master following closely behind him to the main hall.

As the Mohist disciples gradually gathered before him, the Grand Master drew his longsword and righteously addressed them, shouting:

"Now, the city of the mechanical city is on the verge of collapse. As the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions, and I do not intend to force anyone. Anyone who wants to leave is welcome to do so; but I will never forget the kindness of all the brothers who remain!"

Upon hearing the leader's words, the Mohist disciples exchanged glances. Understanding each other's thoughts, they all drew their weapons and shouted:

"We swear to defend the Mechanical City to the death! We swear to defend the Mechanical City to the death!"

Upon hearing those shouts, the Grand Master's face also revealed boundless fighting spirit. He brandished his longsword and shouted sharply:

"Disciples of the Mohist school, follow me out to meet the enemy!"

After saying this, the leader leaped down from the platform and led the Mohist disciples out quickly.

At this moment, after destroying the Mo family's mechanical city, Luo Chen flew out of the mechanical city and landed directly in front of the women who were waiting for Luo Chen's orders.

At this moment, when the women saw Luo Chen appear before them, Chi Lian hurriedly walked up to him, drew her Chi Lian sword from her waist, and asked Luo Chen with a fighting spirit:

"Master, should we rush in now?"

Upon hearing Chi Lian's words, Luo Chen gently shook his head, and Chi Lian, seeing this, also showed a puzzled expression.

At this moment, after seeing the puzzled look on Chi Lian's face, Luo Chen slowly said to her:

"It's not the right time yet. By noon, the Mohist school will collapse on its own!"

Although Chi Lian still didn't understand the meaning behind Luo Chen's words, she stood respectfully to the side after seeing the confident look on Luo Chen's face.

As time passed, the sun gradually appeared on the horizon, and the poison that Luo Chen had thrown out began to spread in the pool. Under the sunlight, it turned into water vapor and gradually permeated the mechanical city.

At this moment, the Mohist disciples in the city were all focused on the direction of the stone gate, completely unaware that the deadly poison was being inhaled into their bodies through the air.

When the time was almost up, Luo Chen took out several black pills from his pocket and handed them to the women, instructing them:

"Take the antidote you have, and then come with me to fight our way into this mechanical city."

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, the women did not hesitate at all and immediately put the antidote in their hands into their mouths and swallowed it.

Meanwhile, within the Mechanized City, the deadly poison in the bodies of some Mohist disciples began to take effect. A strong sense of dizziness appeared in their bodies, and they swayed and fell directly to the ground.
