The flying golden sword possessed extraordinary power.
Instead of feeling like a blade, Bai Ye sensed each impact as a heavy hammer striking the barrier of the demonic force field. Every collision resonated like a hammer blow.
But…
Bai Ye held on!
The Demon’s Garment was incredibly resilient, and the demonic force field’s defense was formidable. For the blond man, who was the opponent's weakest link, to injure Bai Ye…
Bai Ye could only attribute it to being countered. True damage that ignored defense was the most effective counter against a demonic force field.
However, while the Emperor’s golden sword was terrifyingly powerful, far surpassing the blond man’s bullets, it lacked that specific effect.
Therefore…
Bai Ye could endure!
Bai Ye advanced step by step, simultaneously looking in Mulan’s direction.
Mulan, understanding implicitly, immediately lunged forward again, directly at the sorcerer. Her greatsword swept out, slashing towards the sorcerer.
But, the moment of impact…
Countless peony petals fluttered, and red smoke suddenly billowed around them.
Mulan’s sword, though seemingly striking the sorcerer, felt no substance.
As expected, the next instant, the sorcerer’s body shattered and merged with the red smoke, drifting forward to the foot of the ancient mechanical giant.
“You cannot stop me, because I…” the sorcerer smiled, “have foreseen every contingency!”
As the sorcerer finished speaking, the Dawn Heart, floating in his palm, suddenly glowed, and then…
The ancient mechanical giant’s eyes emitted a red radiance, and its body began to move.
Such a colossal being stirring caused the very earth to tremble.
The cliff face embedded with the ancient mechanical giant began to shake, long, dragon-like cracks appearing continuously. Following this, countless rock fragments tumbled down.
The ancient mechanical giant was still only partially formed, with one arm yet to materialize, but…
It had at least one arm!
That arm was raised high and brought crashing down.
Even before the fist fell, a gale swept through the area, incredibly violent, as if capable of blowing away anything. The ongoing combat even had to cease.
Because that punch was too terrifying!
One could sense its world-destroying power just by looking at it.
Bai Ye retreated with a bitter smile.
This thing was essentially a mecha!
It was a super-quality existence, and its appearance in the current mission was outright cheating.
Fortunately, Bai Ye had grasped the mission's true nature. If the objective was for him to find a way to defeat the ancient mechanical giant, then everyone might as well pack up and go home; there would be no solution.
But the mission objective was: Prevent the ancient mechanical giant from activating!
Not to stop the ancient giant, but…
To prevent its activation!
At this moment, the massive fist descended, striking directly at the altar.
Everyone quickly scattered in all directions, evading the area covered by the fist.
BOOM!
A thunderous roar erupted as the ancient mechanical giant’s fist landed.
However, the altar was clearly not constructed from ordinary stone. It withstood such a terrifying blow without collapsing.
But the entire altar vibrated violently. The vines entwined around it snapped instantly and slid off in all directions.
Bai Ye quickly steadied himself and shouted, “The Dawn Heart is the key to activating the ancient mechanical giant!”
Mulan wasted no words and shouted loudly again, “Cover me!”
And then…
She charged forward relentlessly!
This was why the elite team of the Great Wall Guard was willing to trust Mulan.
Because she was always at the forefront!
The Emperor watched coldly, then sneered, spreading his arms again as a vast golden ripple reappeared.
Bai Ye felt like cursing. Did he only know this one trick?
But truth be told, the power of this move was formidable, and it could be unleashed every ten seconds. Wasn’t that cheating?
“Get out of the way!” Bai Ye cursed and leaped forward, “You’re forcing me to use my ultimate move!”
Bai Ye spread his palm, and a mechanical whirring sound was heard. A circular metal plate in the center of his palm shifted aside, revealing a large hole.
ZZZZT, ZZZZT…
A piercing sound of arcing electricity ensued, and along Bai Ye’s arm, streaks of azure arcs appeared, flickering continuously!
Magnetic Field Vortex (Creates a magnetic field vortex, attracting everything within a 15-meter radius towards the user and continuously inflicting magnetic damage, especially effective against electronic devices without force field protection.)
Soon, an electric ball formed from arcing electricity appeared in the center of Bai Ye’s palm, and then…
Bai Ye exerted a sudden, forceful grip!
CRACK!
The electric ball was crushed by Bai Ye’s hand, and then, thousands upon thousands of arcs shot outwards, darting around erratically.
The magnetic field took shape!
Under the influence of the magnetic field, a gale instantly swept through the surroundings. Centered on Bai Ye, the airflow continuously converged towards him, forming a terrifying tornado laced with countless currents.
The next second, an immense suction force appeared.
The golden swords that had just shot out from the golden ripple were drawn by the magnetic field’s suction, rapidly moving towards Bai Ye, then rotating along the airflow.
The golden swords made "crack, crack" sounds as they were subjected to continuous stress. Cracks appeared on them.
Upon contact with the electric arcs within the magnetic field, the golden swords suddenly exploded one by one, scattering into countless golden halos that drifted outwards.
Simultaneously…
Kai gripped his crystal blade, Bai Qi forcefully plunged his scythe into the ground, and Miyamoto Musashi and the mysterious swordsman also stopped, each grasping their weapons.
The most unfortunate was the blond man. He tightly gripped his twin pistols, but his body was still dragged, continuously moving towards the magnetic field, being sucked in bit by bit.
The crushing power of the magnetic field vortex was terrifying. Its only drawback was…
It was indiscriminate!
The sorcerer’s face, once cold and composed, showed a hint of unease. His eyes were fixed on the Dawn Heart in his hand.
The Dawn Heart was also being affected by the magnetic field vortex, trembling in the sorcerer’s hand with a "click, click" sound.
Red mist appeared in the sorcerer’s hand, enveloping the Dawn Heart tightly, preventing it from being sucked into the magnetic field vortex.
But at this moment…
Mulan suddenly burst from the side.
Mulan was also enduring the influence of the magnetic field vortex, and she chose to…
Abandon her sword!
Then, Mulan charged to the sorcerer’s front.
Without a sword…
She still had her fists!
