Dragon Tamer - Chapter 982

Chapter 982: Chapter 986: The Grand Mechanism of the Long Palace Chapter 982: Chapter 986: The Grand Mechanism of the Long Palace He Yiling was clearly a Loose Immortal, and while these slightly more powerful mechanical snakes posed a threat to the cultivators, she still managed to chop them into scrap metal with just a few slashes!

The third, the fourth, the fifth… there were a total of eleven Long Halls, all filled with mechanical snakes. The mech-snake in the last Long Hall was made of Mysterious Iron, and a haughty King Level Cultivator who walked at the forefront, wanting to show off, was instantly crushed by the bite of this Mysterious Iron Mech-Snake!

After spending a little time, He Yiling still turned this Mysterious Iron Mech-Snake into scrap metal.

The other cultivators accompanying her were all amazed, with even some falling to their knees on the spot, begging to be taken as disciples.

He Yiling ignored them.

After leaving the eleventh Long Hall, an open space appeared up ahead, resembling a colossal arena with a tall platform erected in the very front. On top of the platform sat a person, looking down arrogantly at the group as they entered the area.

“Not bad, clearing the eleven Long Halls so quickly, woman, your blade technique is quite decent. I wonder if you’d be interested in entertaining this young master for a few days? If you serve well, I’ll gift you a piece of God Iron for a blade,” called out a member of the Mo Family from atop the Snake Chair, openly mocking He Yiling.

“Come down and die!” said He Yiling coldly.

“Don’t know how to appreciate kindness, do you? Do you know what this ground is used for?” the Young Master Mo said.

“It’s where your bones will be buried!” said He Yiling.

“Hahaha, you’re quite spirited. I hope you manage to keep that fire burning, it makes me look forward to hearing your screams. It will sound absolutely delightful, hahahaha!!” The young master from the Mo Family burst into loud laughter.

His laughter echoed through the arena, and at the same time, a thunderous crash sounded from behind them all, shaking the open ground so fiercely that some people couldn’t even stand steady.

Zhu Minglang turned his head and was shocked to find the Long Halls they had passed through were now writhing!

Eleven Long Halls, each one moving across the ground, then a startling sight unfolded: each Long Hall fit together tightly like the joints of the mechanical snakes before, and countless mech-snakes emerged from the walls and eaves, becoming the massive scales and blade-like appendages of a titanic creature!

All the Long Halls eventually merged into one colossal, awe-inspiring serpent, with the very last Long Hall shedding its tiles to reveal a terrifying and fierce serpent’s head!

The giant Long Hall Serpent emitted a massive mechanical noise as it started to crawl over; in no time, its body filled the open ground, and with the towering barrier-like platform in front of them, the group that had passed through the eleven Long Halls was like they had been herded into a cage by a massive snake. Excluding the incredible Long Hall Giant Mechanical Snake, there was no way out!

Zhu Minglang was equally astounded at the sight.

This was beyond anything he’d known in the realm of mechanical techniques!

A mere member of the Mo Family was capable of activating such a powerful mechanical beast; it seemed the members of the Mo Family were indeed not to be underestimated!

“Sister, let me handle it,” He Haohan spoke.

“No need. I’ll dismantle this junk myself!” said He Yiling, just as stubbornly.

She drew her sword once more, facing the magnificent Long Hall Giant Mechanical Snake composed of eleven sections, and yet she bravely leaped onto it, fully aware that her own stature was merely equivalent to one of the scales on the mechanical snake!

He Yiling once again unleashed a terrifying force with her blade. She first dodged the snapping bite of the Long Hall Mech-Snake, then with a twist of her body, she shaped the winds with her twin blades into a massive whirlwind blade, viciously grinding it along the spine of the Long Hall Giant Mechanical Snake…

“Clang clang clang clang!!!!!”

However, her blades couldn’t penetrate the back of the Long Hall Giant Mechanical Snake; sparks of metal flew off her swords, and the vibrations numbed He Yiling’s hands!

“Gah!!!!!!!”

The Long Hall Giant Mechanical Snake fiercely arched its back and swung its massive body with a fierce swat. He Yiling quickly raised her swords to block, but she was still sent flying by the overwhelming force, ultimately crashing back down onto the ground.

After tumbling on the ground for a hundred meters, He Yiling struggled to her feet, blood already tracing her mouth. She casually wiped it away, her eyes shining with an unyielding and combative spirit, with not a trace of fear.

“You’re no match for it; let brother take over,” He Haohan stepped forward.

“These murderous things, I will destroy as many as there are!” He Yiling insisted stubbornly, adamantly refusing her brother’s aid.

He Haohan sighed deeply and said, “What’s harmful are not these mechanical beasts, but the person who created them, the one who is taking pleasure in watching us fight like beasts.”

He Haohan’s gaze locked onto Young Master Mo, who sat atop the tall ramparts, his eyes radiating murderous intent.

“How entertaining, how entertaining. You have some skill; if you people can survive the attack of my Long Hall Snake for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, I, Mo Kuan, will grant you the mercy of leaving with your corpses intact, so your friends and family can claim them!” The member of the Mo Family continued to laugh mockingly.

He Yiling made her move again, this time with increased speed, and to avoid the Long Hall Snake’s attack, she had to strike and retract her blade quickly. But this method did not allow her to exert the full power of her blade; without sufficient strength, she couldn’t begin to cleave through the Long Hall Giant Mechanical Snake’s body.

He Yiling found herself caught in arduous combat, constantly drawing the Long Hall Giant Mechanical Snake away from where the people were thinnest. Clearly, she had a kind heart and did not wish for those with lower cultivation bases to be crushed to death by the Long Hall Giant Mechanical Snake.

Seeing He Yiling in such a desperate state only broadened Mo Kuan’s grim smile, and excitement even gleamed in his eyes–it had been a long time since anyone could make his Long Hall Giant Mechanical Snake exert itself… These few individuals were not bad; he could take his time playing with them.

“Is it not splendid?” a calm voice asked.

“Of course it’s splendid. That woman is a Loose Immortal, and her swordsmanship is quite something. It’s just too bad she still can’t match my… You… Who are you!!” Mo Kuan suddenly came to his senses, spun around, and nearly lost his soul from the fright, exclaiming, “How did you get up here!!”

Zhu Minglang smiled, laying a hand on the shoulder of the Mo Family’s God’s Descendant, who toyed with mechanical techniques, and said, “There’s a hidden passage down there; I just walked up. Plus, I took the liberty of looking around, and that large gate on the left should lead to the Mo Family Fortress, right? It needs a Key Seal to open; do you have it on you?”

“No… not with me, I don’t have it, I don’t!” Mo Kuan shook his head.

“Then where is it?” Zhu Minglang said as he suddenly twisted, breaking Mo Kuan’s arm outright.

Mo Kuan screamed in agony, a sound equally pleasant to hear.

“It’s on the Long Hall Snake. All the shortcuts and keys here are with the Large Mechanical Beasts… We… we don’t carry them!” Mo Kuan managed to reply with difficulty.
