Chapter 1215: 1215
There were at least several hundred of these Soulless Metal Humanoids . Under the glow of the Night Illumination Pearls, their black eyes seemed to reflect crimson instead, giving them an extremely sinister appearance . It felt as if countless corpses had suddenly risen around them in the middle of a graveyard .
"This is bad!"
Alarmed, the group quickly gathered together before scanning their surroundings warily .
Since the entrance had been sealed by the Dragon Severing Lock, there was no way they could escape from where they came from . Their only choice would be to proceed forward, but at the same time, it seemed like there were countless more Soulless Metal Humanoids lying ahead of them, and there was no way they could fend off so many of them simultaneously!
Huala!
Before the group could recover from their shock, a Soulless Metal Humanoid suddenly charged at them furiously before striking forward with its palm .
Its palm strike with overflowing with strength, leaving the group feeling deeply pressured .
These Soulless Metal Humanoids were at Primordial Spirit realm pinnacle prior to their death, and through a unique technique, their bodies and zhenqi have remained completely intact, thus allowing them to retain most of their strength during the conversion . More importantly, they don't fear death, and they will rise again and again after being struck down… Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes sharply .
He had not expected Vicious to actually capture more than a hundred Saint 4-dan master teachers to forge them all into Soulless Metal Humanoids!
"Humph!" Division Head Wei harrumphed as he stepped forward to knock back the assaulting Soulless Metal Humanoid with a powerful palm strike before charging forward to tear it apart .
Suddenly, one of the elders from the Qingyuan Empire Master Teacher Pavilion blocked his path at the crucial moment and said, "This person is Elder Wang from our Master Teacher Pavilion . We were close buddies for many years… If possible, please don't injure his corpse; I would like to take him back with me and give him a proper burial…"
"Elder Zeng!" Division Head Wei bellowed angrily after hearing those words .
Making use of this short opening, the Soulless Metal Humanoid charged forward and crashed heavily into Division Head Wei, causing the latter to spurt a mouthful of blood .
At the same time, the other Soulless Metal Humanoids slowly rose from the ground, seemingly preparing to make their moves as well .
Seeing how Elder Zeng was still firmly blocking his way, Division Head Wei bellowed in displeasure, "If we don't kill him, we will be the ones who are killed! If you want to die here, be my guest . Just don't drag the rest of us down!"
"But…"
The face of the Elder Zeng turned incredibly ugly .
He knew many of the corpses lying the area, and there were a couple of them who had been close friends with him over the past several centuries . He felt that the least he could do for them was take their bodies back intact and give them a proper burial, in hopes that they could at least rest in peace after death . But looking at the current situation, he also realized that such thoughts would only lead to the downfall of the group .
Boom!
While Elder Zeng was still conflicted over what he should do, one of the Soulless Metal Humanoids suddenly charged his way and clawed at him .
"Elder Hu!" Seeing the other party's face, Elder Zeng's eyes widened in astonishment as many emotions gushed into his mind . This resulted in his body moving slower by half a beat, and deep gorges were torn through his shoulder, causing him to bleed profusely .
Seeing that Elder Zeng was still hesitating due to his ties with the deceased, Zhang Xuan bellowed, "Elder Zeng, that person isn't Elder Hu anymore! His soul has already long dissipated, and he's nothing more than a puppet right now!"
The members of the Combat Master Hall had been through many life-and-death situations, so they knew how to toss aside their emotions and move decisively in moments of danger .
On the other hand, the members of the Master Teacher Pavilion happened to be lacking in this aspect . They tended to allow sentiments to affect their judgement in such critical situations .
"He…" Elder Zeng frowned in distress, but eventually, he bit his lips tightly and roared, "Yes!"
Taking a deep breath, he raised his palm and collided head-on with the 'Elder Hu' Soulless Metal Humanoid .
Peng peng peng!
At the same time, the Soulless Metal Humanoids in the area also rushed forward and surrounded the crowd .
Hualala!
With so many Primordial Spirit realm experts acting against them simultaneously, the group was swiftly placed in a deeply disadvantageous position, and it seemed as if they would cave in very soon .
After knocking away two Soulless Metal Humanoids, Division Head Liao asked anxiously, "Principal Zhang, what do we do?"
These fellows knew neither pain nor death . Only when their heads were severed would they finally fall lifelessly back to the ground . Against a troop of more than a hundred of such Primordial Spirit realm puppets, even though their group wielded considerable fighting prowess as well, the situation was terrible for them .
"The Soulless Metal Humanoids can only move under another's control . As long as we can find the person manipulating them, we will be able to resolve the current danger," Zhang Xuan said with a frown .
Without a doubt, someone must have been controlling those lifeless puppets . As long as they could find and subdue the 'someone', they would be able to free themselves from the crisis they were in .
Division Head Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Since that's the case… Principal Zhang, we'll hold the fort for the time being while you try to find the person behind the Soulless Metal Humanoids!
"Everyone, get into formation! Protect Principal Zhang, Hall Master Xing, and Wu shi!"
Huala!
Right after saying those words, the group quickly formed a circle around Zhang Xuan, Hall Master Xing, and Wu shi in order to protect them .
The improved collaborative formation that Zhang Xuan had imparted to them had granted them a significant rise in their fighting prowess in team battles . As such, despite the simultaneous onslaught of over a hundred Soulless Metal Humanoid, they were surprisingly able to stand their ground, successfully warding the enemies off for the time being .
Protected in the middle, the conflicted Wu shi sent a telepathic message to Zhang Xuan . "Principal Zhang, should we make a move?"
His injuries had long been healed by Zhang Xuan's Heaven's Path zhenqi, and the previous frailty he had displayed was nothing more than an act .
"There's no need for that at the moment . The both of you are our trump cards, and we can't afford to let this be known to the enemy yet," Zhang Xuan replied telepathically .
"But I fear that the others won't be able to hold on for too long!" Wu shi anxiously replied .
"Don't worry . These Soulless Metal Humanoid might appear powerful, but it'll still be difficult for them to overcome the improved collaborative formation . For the time being, let me see who's controlling the puppets . If I'm lucky, I might be able to find a clue leading to the mastermind behind the Qingtian Emperor!" Zhang Xuan said .
In truth, with his prowess, he could have easily broken the encirclement of the hundred Soulless Metal Humanoid . The reason he had chosen not to make a move was to act weak in hopes that it would cause the fellow behind the Soulless Metal Humanoids to lower his guard and, possibly, lure him out and capture him .
