Chapter 1370 - 872: Cold Mechanical Flowers

Long ago, when Du Yu wanted to go to the Ashen Continent to search for Holy Soldiers and Holy Beasts, Elder Yinsuo sent a message to Du Yu:

"Your destiny lies in the south."

Sure enough, Du Yu found two Holy Soldiers on a southern island, namely the Dragon Ship Flower Saint and the Saint of Flowing Fire.

To this day, Yinsuo’s words "in the south" continue to gain in significance!

The Flowing Fire Suanni is indeed an Auspicious Beast, an enemy of all demons and filth.

Under the Demon Skill· Celestial Auspicious Sounds, no matter how strong the Cold Race’s battalion is, it will collapse in an instant.

The Cold Beast is undoubtedly a double-edged sword.

If you can control them, everything will be fine.

But if you can’t control them...

"Hiss!" The Wandering Ghost Soul spread its claws, its sharp nails gleaming, furiously tearing at the old lord of the Cold Race beside it.

"Ah! Stop, stop! Ah!" On a pile of ruins, a Cold Race man howled in pain.

He desperately activated the Youhan Technique, attempting to regain control of his servant.

But under the majestic lion’s roar, the Wandering Ghost Soul completely returned to its true self.

Around the ruins, six battered soldiers faced this sudden situation. At first, they were startled, then they couldn’t hide their delight!

Just a moment ago, the soldiers were stubbornly resisting the Cold Race’s assault, retreating step by step under the terrifying storm.

But now, the Wandering Ghost Soul suddenly turned ferocious, and with a Wind-Splitting Claw, it tore off half of the Cold Race man’s face.

The scene was extremely bloody and brutal.

Yet in the eyes of the soldiers, it was a satisfying sight.

"Beast!" The Cold Race man shouted words the Human Race couldn’t understand.

Realizing the situation was dire, he exploded off the ground and darted away.

Would the Wandering Ghost Soul let its prey escape?

After all, it was the Demon Emperor· Cold Beast, a powerful servant carefully selected by the Cold Race.

"Whoosh!" A fierce wind suddenly rose, engulfing the fleeing Cold Race invader.

Scenes like this were playing out in the streets and alleys of Ancient Pine Tower City.

"Be careful, form up!"

"Wave Killing Array to disrupt the enemy, Little Water Gun, ready!" The soldiers weren’t overcome by joy.

They knew that after the Wandering Ghost Soul slaughtered the Cold Race, its next target would be them.

"Hiss!!"

Sure enough, after the Cold Race man was torn apart, the Wandering Ghost Soul turned towards the squad of soldiers.

"Woof!"

"Woof woof!" The Wolf Lake Dogs barked loudly, their bodies surging with Water Demon Breath.

The Wolf Lake Dogs knew well that the powerful Wandering Ghost Soul before them was far beyond what their Spirit-level Demon Beasts could contend with.

The Wolf Lake Dogs were no fools, they were brave and loyal.

They had resolved to live and die with their masters!

"Whoosh!!" At a critical moment, the storm rose again.

The soldiers all tensed up, while a violent Flaming Tornado suddenly descended, grand in scale, engulfing the Wandering Ghost Soul.

The storm tore apart the battle robe of the Wandering Ghost Soul.

The flames swirling within burned the body of the Wandering Ghost Soul.

Looking around, the soldiers couldn’t see allied forces anywhere.

What was this?

"The smell of this Demon Breath is off, it must be Saint Liao Sha helping us!" a soldier exclaimed.

As those words were spoken, the ground beneath their feet suddenly quaked.

A gigantic silver flower bloomed from the ruins.

Strangely, this flower appeared to be made of metal?

The silver metal flower had no fragrance, only streams of silver energy flowing and wrapping around the soldiers and Demon Pets, healing their wounds.

This Demon Skill was highly characteristic, clearly coming from Fire Candle Silver Flower· Saint Liao Sha.

But the problem is...

Liao Sha was at the highest point of Ancient Pine Tower City· Emperor Mansion, while this squad of soldiers was five streets away from the mansion!

What a terrifying casting range!

A soldier turned and looked up, indeed spotting a giant mechanical figure on the top floor of the mansion—a Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet!

The 10-meter-tall Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet, draped in a wide cloak, fluttered in the wind and waves.

It held a rusty long staff, the staff head wrapped in wind and burning flames.

And within its exposed mechanical face, in one of the gear eye sockets, sat a beautiful exotic woman.

Fire Candle Silver Flower· Liao Sha!

It was noteworthy that her white lady’s shirt was adorned with a delicate silver metal flower brooch.

Liao Sha did not look downwards, but like the soldiers, she gazed up at the sky.

The difference was that the soldiers were looking up with gratitude and reverence at the Seven Saints of Great Xia.

While Liao Sha looked up in awe at the majestic Flowing Fire Suanni.

"Supreme Ancestor, Little Du Yu." Liao Sha murmured, her eyes a little misty.

Under the rule of the Magic Mechanical Civilization, there had never been a Supreme Ancestor.

No matter how reluctant you are to admit it, the Mechanical Civilization was indeed a level below, for the reality was in front of us.

"A powerful creature." The voice of the Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet echoed in the master’s mind, "Capable of changing the tide of battle."

"Mm." Liao Sha nodded in agreement.

The roar of the Flowing Fire Suanni not only saved countless soldiers and Demon Pets in the city but also pulled Liao Sha out of the mire.

This Youhan invasion brought quite a number of Cold Race Generals!

Generals could control Earth Level Creatures, but attempting to control Liao Sha and the Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet was still beyond their reach.

The issue is, even if the General can’t control Liao Sha, they can still cause significant mental interference to both her and the Demonic Puppet!

The moment the Flowing Fire Suanni appeared, Du Yu changed everyone’s fate.

"Over there." Liao Sha casually pointed.

The Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet, holding a magic staff, waved it downwards.

No less than three Flaming Tornadoes descended, precisely devouring three groups of enemy forces on the battlefield.

The Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet apologized, "Facing these enemies, I’m struggling."

Liao Sha finally withdrew her gaze, somewhat puzzled, "Why do you say that?"

The output of the Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet remained strong, especially precise, each attack capable of destroying enemies or rescuing allies.

Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet: "I lack the ability to change the course of the battle, and I’m still being disturbed by these Cold Race invaders.

Just now, if not for Mr. Du Yu’s Fire Lion’s protection, I might have already..."

"Don’t negate yourself, these enemies are very powerful, ones we’ve never encountered before." Liao Sha reached out, gently stroking her beloved pet’s gear eyes.

Against her fair hand, the rusted gears appeared even dirtier.

Liao Sha comforted, "And this Fire Lion is a Supreme Saint, don’t have a psychological gap, little puppet, you and I are Saint Level..."

"Master." The Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet waved the magic staff again, causing fire tornadoes to descend on various streets throughout the city.

Liao Sha’s heart tightened, through the contract, she vaguely sensed something.

Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet: "I will never be able to cultivate to Saint Level, right?"

Liao Sha remained silent, unsure how to respond.

It’s extremely unwise to lie to a Demon Pet, especially to a Demon Saint!

Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet: "I’ve already reached the peak of the Mechanical Civilization, there is no further possibility of improvement, is there?"

Liao Sha gazed at the city below, gently flicking the silver flower brooch with her finger: "I can’t give you a definitive answer, but there indeed is no precedent of a mechanical demon beast reaching Supreme Saint."

"Click~Click~"

The silver mechanical flower brooch gently rotated, its petals made of silver metal plates opening and closing with the crisp sound of parts clicking together.

In the distance, on a street, another giant silver mechanical flower bloomed, with silvery energy spilling like mercury, covering the Human Pet’s body.

Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet: "Facing such a small city crisis, I’m already struggling..."

"No, little puppet." Liao Sha spoke, "This is not a small city, nor is this a small crisis."

Maybe Ancient Pine Tower City is only fourth or fifth-tier, incomparable to those big metropolises.

But this is Du Yu’s hometown!

What kind of person is Du Yu?

If the Youhan Tree wrote a kill list, Du Yu would undoubtedly be at the top!

Even... the Twin Divine Trees might have to rank second?

In such a situation, do you still think this crisis is small?

"Click~"

The gears in the eyes of the Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet suddenly turned: "No matter what, I’ve lost my ability to control the battle.

I’m no longer that omnipotent Demon Saint on such a battlefield.

I cannot protect you well, nor can I provide more help for you."

"Little puppet." Liao Sha’s heart softened, intending to say something more, but was interrupted by the words of the Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet.

"If I’m destined never to be Supreme Saint, maybe I should accept change."

Liao Sha: "Hmm?"

Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet: "You’ve already experimented, when our race gets contaminated, our demon skills become sharper."

"Click! Click~"

The mechanical flower brooch gently rotated, its petals, composed of silver metal pieces, opened and closed.

The Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet waved its magic staff, casting down numerous flaming tornadoes: "It also agrees with my thoughts."

During the exchange, the Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet turned to look at the rooftop, where a group of Cold Race Generals’ skeletons were present.

The puppet’s mind was filled with the scenes of the encounter it just had.

Despite standing on the 160-meter-high Emperor Mansion, it couldn’t repel the attacking Cold Race invaders and ended up getting close in combat.

If among these Cold Race individuals, there was a General of the Emperor’s Minister, the consequences would be unimaginable!

The reality is, even without the presence of an Emperor’s Minister, the Youhan Technique of this Cold Race group, the death sound of Wandering Ghost Soul, also placed the puppet and Liao Sha in danger.

If not for the appearance of the Flowing Fire Suanni, carrying the mighty Celestial Sound that filled the entire city, perhaps...

Liao Sha’s brows furrowed lightly, "But you said, once that happens, you’ll lose yourself."

The Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet raised its rusted mechanical hand, covering one gear eye, with its palm against its master’s eye socket:

"What I’m more afraid of is losing you."

Liao Sha was slightly moved, her emotions surged: "Little puppet..."

As a Demon Taming Saint, her emotions shouldn’t fluctuate so intensely, that is a taboo for Demon Tamers!

Evidently, the Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet understood this, communicating: "This is decided, once the crisis is resolved, you go and ask Mr. Du Yu."

Having said that, the Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet no longer listened to its master’s response, voluntarily blocking mental communication.

"Hoo!" It raised the magic staff high, shooting a huge wind and fire beam at the enemies flying overhead.

Thirty years ago, you found me from a heap of discarded parts.

You pieced together my broken body, embedding me with gear eyes.

Thank you for letting me see.

Thank you for letting me see you.

"Roar!!" The sky-covering Suanni flew from the south of the city to the north, sprinkling stars of fire along the way.

The cloak of the Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet fluttered as it soared high.

It bathed in the starlight, spinning its body continuously, waving the rusted magic staff.

One after another, flaming tornadoes appeared in the streets and alleys, connecting heaven and earth.

And in the gear eyes of the Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet, the beautiful and moving woman returned to her calm appearance.
