Chapter 839
Incompetent Teammates, Emperor Qian's Defeat
"If I can't kill Su Mu, I can at least kill you!"
Emperor Qian roared angrily, his face dark with rage, "Lu Yin, I didn't kill you before only because you were still somewhat useful. Today you dare to ruin my plans, so die!"
Before Emperor Qian finished speaking, nine five-clawed golden dragons suddenly rose up behind him.
The nine five-clawed golden dragons bared their fangs and claws, smashing aside the surrounding golden puppets, and then one of them reached out to grab Lu Yin.
With a soft "pfft".
While Lu Yin was fending off the golden puppet, he couldn't dodge in time and was torn open by the dragon claw, leaving a shocking wound on his body.
Blood splattered down like a torrential rain.
Lu Yin retreated rapidly, only to be suddenly attacked from behind by a fist.
boom!
Lu Yin's body flew out like a kite with a broken string, spitting out a mouthful of blood while still in mid-air.
The one who launched the sneak attack was none other than Changshengtian.
Faced with the combined attacks of the Golden Puppet, Emperor Qian, and the Eternal Heaven, even a pseudo-Primordial Realm expert like Lu Yin couldn't withstand it.
In fact, if he hadn't been a pseudo-Primordial Realm cultivator, he would probably have died on the spot under such an attack.
Both Emperor Qian and the Eternal Heaven are now extremely angry.
They were furious that Lu Yin had ruined their plans.
If Lu Yin hadn't lured the golden puppets over, they would have already killed Su Mu.
Now, they are the ones who need to take the hits from these golden puppets on Su Mu's behalf.
The person they hate the most right now is Lu Yin!
Moreover, now that Su Mu has disappeared, the only person they can vent their anger on is Lu Yin.
As for those golden puppets and some mindless inanimate objects, why should they get angry?
Once they kill Lu Yin, they can naturally find a way to subdue these golden puppets.
These golden golems were destined to be their helpers.
Lu Yin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes revealing a strong fighting spirit.
"Emperor Qian, let us settle our grievances today."
"My life is not worth losing. If I can take you with me on this journey, it will relieve some of the pressure on Su Mu. I will die without regret."
Lu Yin laughed heartily, and his aura surged wildly.
At this moment, he spared no expense and unleashed all his power.
Such an outburst would damage even the foundation of a pseudo-Primordial Realm expert like him.
Even if he survives, his body will be severely injured and unable to recover afterward.
The expressions of Emperor Qian and Emperor Changsheng changed slightly.
Even they couldn't ignore a pseudo-Primordial Realm expert fighting desperately.
If things go wrong, one of them might actually be dragged down with Lu Yin.
Chang Shengtian involuntarily took a step backward.
His life was more precious than that of the Qian Emperor; he absolutely could not risk his life against anyone.
Chang Shengtian is someone who can only fight when things are going well; he is unwilling to take any risks.
Emperor Qian noticed the actions of the Eternal Heaven and couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.
However, now that he knows about the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique, he can understand the actions of the Eternal Heaven.
If he were the Eternal Heaven, he would probably cherish his life even more than the Eternal Heaven.
After all, as long as one doesn't die, one can steadily achieve the Primordial Realm. Who could resist such a temptation?
Ignoring the Eternal Heaven, Emperor Qian's gaze fell upon Lu Yin.
He could have killed Lu Yin long ago, but he kept this whetstone, so he watched the Yanfu Sect grow stronger.
Who would have thought that Yanfu Sect would ruin his plans today?
Since that's the case, then we can't blame him.
Emperor Qian let out a long roar, and before Lu Yin could prepare, he swayed and lunged forward.
He raised his hand and struck out with a palm.
"Nine Dragons Suppressing Heaven Palm!"
An enormous hand descended from the sky, entwined with nine dragons, and crashed down.
Lu Yin suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils flashing with a sharp light.
Just as he was about to make his move, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.
He instinctively turned his head and saw a smiling face.
"Su Mu?"
The power within Lu Yin's body paused for a moment.
"I come."
Su Mu spoke calmly.
Just as Lu Yin was about to stop Su Mu, he suddenly saw that Su Mu did not make a move, but simply snapped his fingers.
call!
As the wind whistled past, two figures darted out from beside them, heading straight for the giant hand falling from the sky.
boom!
The enormous hand was smashed to pieces by the two figures.
Then the two figures rushed towards Emperor Qian without stopping.
"Golden puppets?"
Lu Yin looked astonished, his eyes revealing disbelief.
But he immediately realized.
Anything can happen to Su Mu.
Even if Su Mu really controlled the golden puppet, what's so strange about that?
Even the most incredible things, Su Mu had done before.
Compared to that, controlling a golden puppet doesn't seem like such a big deal.
Upon thinking about it this way, Lu Yin immediately accepted it.
It seems he no longer needs to work so hard.
Lu Yin looked ahead with a hint of schadenfreude.
The experience of watching the play was quite enjoyable.
boom!
Emperor Qian took two steps back, a look of surprise on his face.
He looked at the two golden puppets attacking from both sides and his heart sank.
With his keen eyesight, he could tell the difference between the two golden puppets at a glance.
The eyes of the other golden puppets were red, but the eyes of these two golden puppets were clear.
He quickly realized that Su Mu was probably controlling these two golden puppets.
Su Mu was actually able to control the golden puppet!
This was unexpected, yet perfectly reasonable.
Su Mu is not only extremely skilled in martial arts, but also has a wide range of knowledge; there is almost nothing in the world that he doesn't know.
Weapon forging, alchemy, formations...
Back then, Su Mu could even break the Great Luo Heaven Formation of the Great Luo Heaven.
If Su Mu was able to subdue these golden puppets, he wouldn't be surprised at all.
But he didn't expect Su Mu to act so quickly.
Just a moment ago, Su Mu was being beaten badly by these golden puppets, how come he has already subdued them in the blink of an eye?
The Emperor Qian recalled the scene from before.
Perhaps it was because they helped Su Mu share the pressure brought by the Golden Puppet that Su Mu was able to have the spare energy to subdue the Golden Puppet.
Thinking of this, Emperor Qian was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He was momentarily distracted and almost got hurt by the two golden puppets again.
The scales have begun to tip.
Two golden puppets, controlled by Su Mu, were attacking him frantically, while the other ten golden puppets were indiscriminately attacking all the martial artists present.
Just as Emperor Qian and Changshengtian were in a state of utter distress, they saw Su Mu attacking another golden puppet.
"Chang Sheng Tian, stop him quickly! He has mastered the method to subdue the Golden Man puppets. If he subdues more Golden Man puppets, we will be in danger!"
Emperor Qian roared.
Chang Sheng Tian's face darkened.
I would like to stop him, but the question is, can I stop him?
Su Mu is a bastard with great strength. Even in a one-on-one fight, I might not be his match, let alone with so many troublesome golden puppets.
Although the two golden puppets controlled by Su Mu were attacking Emperor Qian, the situation in Changsheng Heaven was not much better.
He was constantly entangled with a golden puppet.
This giant golden statue is a lump of iron, impervious to pain and death.
If I punched them, my hand would hurt from the impact.
Chang Shengtian was cautious by nature and never fought to the death unless absolutely necessary. Therefore, he only used 70% of his strength when he fought these golden puppets.
In his view, fighting these Jurchen puppets would be a losing proposition.
These golden puppets are mindless, lifeless creatures. Winning against them won't bring any advantage, but losing would be a huge loss.
That's why he was forced to retreat step by step by those golden puppets.
Now that Emperor Qian had shouted this, he realized the seriousness of the problem.
It's obviously impossible to slack off or cheat anymore.
Chang Shengtian gritted his teeth, unleashed his inner power, and punched the golden puppet back several steps.
Then he swayed and rushed towards Su Mu.
No sooner said than done.
Su Mu had already reached a golden puppet. His body moved like a fish, instantly bypassing the puppet's attack, and his palm slammed down on the puppet's head.
With a loud bang.
A surging power has entered the body of the golden puppet.
The golden puppet's movements suddenly froze in mid-air. Chang Sheng Tian realized something was wrong and raised his hand to punch Su Mu in the back.
Do you take me for a dead man?
Lu Yin snorted coldly and appeared out of thin air behind Su Mu, throwing a punch as well.
A sound like muffled thunder rang out.
Chang Shengtian's expression changed, and he took several steps back.
Lu Yin, his face filled with murderous intent, pounced on him like a hungry tiger.
He had just prepared himself to fight to the death, and his burning passion hadn't cooled down yet.
Now, the Eternal Heaven has run into a trap.
Lu Yin's attacks rained down like a storm.
The power of the pseudo-Primordial Realm expert was clearly revealed.
Even Changshengtian, who had cultivated the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique to the Eighth Death Realm, was forced to retreat step by step and was powerless to fight back.
Emperor Qian's face darkened, and he cursed inwardly as a good-for-nothing.
Although Changshengtian clearly possesses an unparalleled cultivation level, his actual combat ability is simply inferior to that of an ordinary Dao Extreme Realm expert!
Moreover, he was afraid of death, and despite having full strength, he could only unleash 80% of his combat power.
Otherwise, the immortal genius should be the strongest among everyone present.
What now?
Of the four of them—himself, Su Mu, Lu Yin, and Chang Shengtian—Chang Shengtian is the most incompetent!
Emperor Qian could only lament that he wasn't afraid of god-like opponents, but rather of pig-like teammates!
Look how well Lu Yin and Su Mu work together.
Emperor Qian lamented his misfortune in meeting the wrong person, but dared not relax his vigilance in the slightest.
Su Mu has begun to subdue the Jin puppet. If Su Mu succeeds, he and Changshengtian will be in danger.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and Emperor Qian took out a square seal with his other hand.
That was the imperial seal of the Great Qian Dynasty, carrying the destiny of the Great Qian Dynasty.
With a long whistle, Emperor Qian tossed the jade seal high into the air.
In an instant, the imperial seal transformed into a small mountain, crashing down on the golden puppet figures.
Golden chains fell, instantly binding the golden puppets tightly.
At the same time, Emperor Qian followed Su Mu's example and slapped one of the golden puppets on the head.
boom!
With a muffled thud, violent power poured into the golden puppet's body.
The golden puppet, like a broken machine, creaked and groaned a few times before slowly lowering its arms and remaining motionless.
Emperor Qian frowned deeply.
This is not right.
He wanted to subdue these golden puppets, not turn them into a pile of scrap metal.
A hint of helplessness flashed deep in his eyes.
He, the supreme ruler of the mighty Great Qian Dynasty, was actually no match for a mere Su Mu.
Su Mu could subdue the golden puppet, but he could only turn it into a pile of scrap metal.
Emperor Qian's face hardened. If one doesn't work, then let's try capturing another one!
He suddenly turned his head, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and fixed his gaze on the next golden puppet.
At that moment, Su Mu raised his hand from the top of a golden puppet's head.
The red light in the golden puppet's eyes faded, and then it turned to look at Emperor Qian and lunged at him.
At this moment, of the twelve golden puppets, Su Mu controlled three, Emperor Qian destroyed one, and the remaining eight golden puppets were either attacking Emperor Qian or attacking Su Mu.
Others are attacking Lu Yin and Chang Sheng Tian.
Because of the presence of these four, the golden puppets were temporarily unable to kill the other martial artists.
The native warriors of the Dragon Tiger Small World and the powerful figures of the Great Qian Dynasty watched the chaotic battle in the sky, unsure of what to do next.
They wanted to help, but firstly, they didn't know who to help, and secondly, they didn't have the resources to get involved.
…………
boom!
The light in the eyes of another golden figure vanished, and it turned into a pile of broken copper and scrap iron.
Emperor Qian's face showed a mixture of shame and anger.
He failed again.
He now has to admit that he is indeed unable to subdue the Jurchen puppets.
He believed he was no less powerful than Su Mu in terms of combat strength, but in other aspects, he was indeed inferior to Su Mu.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Emperor Qian caught a glimpse of Su Mu subduing another golden puppet, and his heart sank.
Four golden puppet figures.
Su Mu and Lu Yin's strength has already surpassed theirs!
Emperor Qian couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He had only brought Changsheng Tian with him, thinking that with their combined strength, plus the Great Qian garrison in the Dragon Tiger Small World, they could easily gain the upper hand.
Who knew this would happen?
It is clearly impossible to kill Su Mu today.
Emperor Qian was also a ruthless man. Seeing that there was no way to turn the tide, he shifted his body and began to attack the remaining golden puppets.
Even if he were to be defeated, he could not leave all of these golden puppets to Su Mu!
…………
Su Mu also noticed Emperor Qian's actions and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Emperor Qian's strength was indeed extraordinary.
His skill level may not be as high as Lu Yin's, but his profound foundation is unmatched, and his combat power is terrifyingly strong.
Those golden puppet figures were almost powerless to fight back against his jade seal attack.
As Su Mu watched Emperor Qian destroy one golden puppet after another, he felt both admiration and heartache.
He sped up, racing against time to snatch another puppet from Emperor Qian.
Now, Emperor Qian wants to destroy the Golden Puppet, while Su Mu wants to subdue as many Golden Puppet as possible.
The two then decided to see who was faster.
A few breaths.
Su Mu now has another golden puppet under his command.
Emperor Qian had destroyed as many as three of the golden puppet figures.
They simultaneously pounced on the next golden puppet.
The two men's somewhat outrageous actions actually relieved a lot of pressure on Lu Yin and Chang Shengtian.
While dealing with each other, Lu Yin and Chang Shengtian also had to contend with attacks from the Jin puppets.
But now, all the golden puppets have been dealt with by Su Mu and Emperor Qian, so they only need to deal with each other, which naturally reduces their pressure.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Changshengtian was already considering retreating.
For him, working himself to the bone is the least worthwhile thing to do.
As long as he doesn't die, he'll break through to the Primordial Realm sooner or later. He can get back what he suffered today once he reaches the Primordial Realm.
There's no need for him to continue fighting when he knows he has no chance of winning.
Su Mu now controls several golden puppets, while they only have him and Emperor Qian on their side; the army of the Great Qian Dynasty is completely unreliable.
"Hmph, it's not that I can't beat you, it's just not the right time yet!"
Chang Shengtian sneered inwardly.
He threw a punch, and while Lu Yin dodged, he turned and transformed into a streak of light and left.
Emperor Qian was so angry he almost vomited blood.
That bastard Chang Sheng Tian!
He had never seen such a cowardly Dao Realm expert!
If someone from his Great Qian Dynasty had deserted in the face of battle, he would have killed them on the spot.
However, Changshengtian was not his subordinate; their relationship was merely one of cooperation, and he could not control the other party.
Seeing Changshengtian escape, he was filled with helplessness.
boom!
He destroyed the last golden puppet and soared into the sky without hesitation.
Chang Shengtian has run away. If he doesn't leave soon, he'll be ganged up on and beaten up by Su Mu and Lu Yin.
Su Mu was subduing a golden puppet when he saw Emperor Qian fleeing, and he stopped Lu Yin.
"Do not pursue a desperate enemy."
Su Mu said, "With the power reaching everywhere, we subdue the last golden puppet."
By this point, he had seven golden puppets under his command, while the remaining five were destroyed by Emperor Qian and turned into scrap metal.
To restore them, the magic array within their bodies needs to be reconstructed, which is no easy task.
Even if it's just a pile of scrap metal, it's still priceless scrap metal.
Su Mu raised his hand and put away the golden puppet that had completely turned the Martial Venerable into an inanimate object.
Then he turned to look at Lu Yin.
"Let's go."
Emperor Qian and Changsheng Tian escaped the Dragon-Tiger Small World. It is conceivable that Emperor Qian will soon gather the strongmen of the Great Qian Dynasty to return and fight again.
If they don't leave now, they might get trapped inside the Dragon Tiger Small World, which could cause some trouble.
Even if Su Mu controlled seven golden puppets, he couldn't say for sure that he could stop the powerful figures of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Moreover, he has a truce agreement with the Daqian Dynasty, so it would be difficult to handle if the other side were to find a handle against him.
Things can be done, but you must never leave the other party with any leverage.
Now that the goal has been achieved, it's time to make a quick getaway.
Lu Yin naturally understood this as well. He nodded and flew towards the exit with Su Mu, with the seven golden puppets following closely behind like guards.
The native martial artists of the Dragon-Tiger Small World, as well as those from the Great Qian Dynasty who hadn't left, all watched helplessly, and no one dared to intervene. (End of Chapter)
