2606 Appearance of the Bloody Hand (2 in 1)
Puppet City.
Han Fei didn’t have much time left. He had stayed too long in the God Gazing Cave. After more than a day, he didn’t know what happened to the northern expedition army, the divine beasts, and the ferocious beasts outside.
However, Puppet City was only so big. It was completely possible for a real strong master to reach this place, just like how someone reached the God Drowning River.
However, on Han Fei’s way to the cultivation ground in the palace of Great Monarch Mystic Martial, he found that many roads he passed had been completely cleared. The buildings on both sides of some roads had been pierced through. For example, an inn had half collapsed. When Han Fei passed by, fragments fell.
Han Fei’s heart skipped a beat. Did someone else know where the sleeping chamber was?
Suddenly, Han Fei’s heart skipped a beat. Yes, the Bloody Hand knew it. The ominous hid in someone’s body. This person must have known the existence of the cultivation field in the sleeping chamber via the consciousness of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand.
Therefore, they pushed all the way there, and it was definitely impossible for one or two people to push all the way there. This meant that the person who was contaminated by the ominous must have brought a large number of strong masters with him.
Who was this person exactly? Han Fei thought that all the perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators were suspects, but the most suspicious ones were still the Dao Lock-level cultivators. In fact, it didn’t make much sense for the ominous to pollute the perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators. In this northern expedition, the perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators were actually useless. It was the leaders and strong masters of the factions that were useful.
There were no more than 300 such people in the northern expedition army, and there shouldn’t be many of them among the divine beast and ferocious beast.
He had to make the best use of his time. When the time came, he would see who was leading the people here. With the help of the Vast Ocean Navigator, this person would have nowhere to hide.
Han Fei didn’t have the time to walk around, so when he encountered any obstacles, he would either penetrate them or jump over the roof.
This was definitely a different path from the people who were going to the cultivation field in the sleeping chamber. After learning the rules here, they had to find a way first, so they moved relatively slowly.
However, if he wanted to catch up with those people, he naturally couldn’t find them one by one. Between two points, a straight line was the shortest.
When Han Fei encountered a large group of buildings that looked like a trial field, he turned into an archer puppet and jumped to the roof of the buildings.
The moment Han Fei rushed on the roof, the response mechanisms in all directions were activated. After only two seconds, many archer puppets appeared one after another and looked at him.
The archer puppets didn’t seem to understand why one of their kind was running wildly. However, as one of the strongest professional guardian puppets, after watching for four or five seconds, they suddenly raised their longbows at Han Fei.
“Hiss, have I been seen through?”
When seven or eight archer puppets attacked him, Han Fei knew that he must have been exposed, although he didn’t know how he was exposed. Was it because he was too arrogant and jumped on the roof?
Seeing this, Han Fei had to accelerate and no longer pretended. At this time, thousands of blue arrows were aimed at him.
Han Fei didn’t fight back. Before the arrows came, he had already crossed dozens of streets.
The moment he landed, Han Fei’s appearance changed again. He turned into an armor puppet and entered the building beside him.
The puppets of Puppet City seemed to be somewhere between conscious and unconscious. They would rest and go to work. Han Fei took a closer look. Wasn’t this a damn casino?
There were many large tables here, and there were hundreds of puppets gathered here. Among them, there were armor puppets, shield puppets, archer puppets, and giant puppets.
However, at this moment, these puppets were numbly placing bets at the gambling table.
Han Fei was about to go in, when someone stopped him. Han Fei turned around and saw a chip exchange office.
It seemed that if he wanted to enter the casino, he had to exchange for chips first.
What were the chips to be exchanged for? Han Fei threw out ten level-seven minerals at once. In front of the counter, a puppet quickly pushed out three boxes.
Han Fei looked at it quietly, only to see that it was filled with small cards, which were respectively made of level-five, level-six, and level-seven minerals.
It seemed that there were different kinds of chips that could be exchanged for level-seven minerals.
Han Fei tapped the level-six mineral card, and the mineral puppet gave Han Fei a hundred cards.
Han Fei’s heart did a flip. The exchange rate was 1:10. It seemed that he was quite rich.
On this side, Han Fei took the chips and turned around to enter the casino. This time, no one stopped him. When Han Fei came to the gambling table, he casually placed a stack of ten-card chips at the 16-time odds.
At this moment, there was a strange sound at the door, and six archer puppets came in one after another and stood at the door of the casino.
Han Fei’s heart did a flip. Are you kidding me? How can you find me?
He had thought that when the mineral puppets entered these buildings, it was off time and they would have their own leisure time after work.
But who knew that there would be a surprise inspection?
The casino fell into silence, and all the puppets looked at the door.
The archer puppets at the door scanned around but didn’t find anyone with a problem. After they and the puppets in the casino stared at each other for more than ten seconds, these archer puppets left.
Clatter ~
At this time, there was a noise on the table. Han Fei lowered his head and found that he didn’t win. But it didn’t matter. He just lost some money. But he couldn’t cause trouble here. If the people in the casino hated him, they might take the initiative to attack him.
In the following bets, Han Fei only won once and lost ten times. He had soon lost all his chips.
But he didn’t panic at all. After losing all his chips, he turned around and left.
When Han Fei went out, he found that the archer puppets had all disappeared.
This time, Han Fei learned his lesson. He was discovered earlier probably because he was too fast and anxious. He clearly had an innate advantage. Even if he moved slowly, he would be faster than those people who attacked street by street.
Therefore, Han Fei transformed into an archer puppet again, but this time, he mostly jumped on the roof of buildings and examined it like those archer puppets. Then, he jumped over a few buildings and walked on the ground. After a while, he jumped on another building and examined it again, looking like a real archer puppet.
It only took Han Fei two hours to walk a long distance.
Four hours later, Han Fei caught up with a team made of perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators and led by dozens of leaders and strong masters in the northern army. There were about 50 people in total in this team.
Yes, in the inner city, most people probably couldn’t cross that moat. It would be good if 50% of them could cross it.
As for these 50%, some were distributed among the various trial grounds along the way, some were attracted by some shops along the streets, and some were blocked by the puppets. Only half of them could go to the cultivation ground in the sleeping chamber. In other words, this number definitely didn’t exceed 3,000.
At this moment, when Han Fei jumped to the top of the building, someone immediately noticed. “Not good. It’s an archer. Break through quickly.”
Someone said, “Are we taking the right path? Logically speaking, since the front has been cleared by those strong masters, we shouldn’t encounter these patrolling puppets again!”
The team leader said, “These patrol teams might be chasing the people in front but failed to catch up with them. Now that archers have appeared, there will only be more and more of them. Whether this road is right or not, we have to move forward quickly.”
When Han Fei heard their conversation, he thought to himself, These people must have followed the people in front here, and they didn’t know if they were taking the right path. Obviously, these people wanted to take advantage of others, so they took the route others had taken.
Han Fei just glanced at them and then jumped to the other side.
Seeing that Han Fei had left, someone asked, “Then why didn’t the archer attack us?”
Someone said, “Maybe he found other people?”
Another two hours passed.
Han Fei finally caught up with a large group of people, but he didn’t even look at them this time, because he wouldn’t attack these people now. Their goal was the cultivation field in the palace, so was his.
Although he didn’t know the situation in the outer city, he knew that Puppet City was short of troops.
This was because he found that there were fewer puppets along the way. Furthermore, he often saw some puppets coming out of those buildings, transforming into armored soldiers, and heading towards the outer city.
There was clearly a fight in the rear, so no one cared about the people in front. Or maybe, they knew that even if these people went to the cultivation ground in the sleeping chamber, they couldn’t enter.
But at this moment, Han Fei had no time to think about it.
Finally, on the fourth hour after he came out of the God Gazing Cave, Han Fei arrived at the foot of a mountain. When he arrived, he found that no puppets were guarding here, just like in the God Gazing Cave. Furthermore, hundreds of people had already arrived here first. They were even climbing up the mountain.
However, above their heads, there was a huge turtle shell array floating, so it was extremely difficult for these people to walk.
Han Fei recognized the array at a glance.
“Turtle Shell Sky Sealing Technique.”
Han Fei had always thought that the Turtle Shell Sky Sealing Technique was only used to seal a space. In fact, it was not true. The Turtle Shell Sky Sealing Technique here was abnormally large, and it pressed down on a group of Dao Lock-level powerhouses, who moved very slowly as if they were resisting infinite pressure.
Among these people, the divine beasts and the ferocious beasts accounted for 80%. And there were only 23 strong masters from the Hundred Alliances.
Among them, Han Fei only knew Wushuan and the old man from the Divine Capital Dynasty. There were also a few leaders and strong masters of the top ten factions, and the rest were the strong masters who had hidden in their teams and didn’t expose their strength.
Han Fei returned to his human form. He couldn’t help but sneer. This cultivation ground was not prepared for you in the first place. Even if you can climb up, so what?
Han Fei casually stepped into the Turtle Shell Sky Sealing Technique. The moment he entered the array, everyone looked back. It turned out that they didn’t know about Han Fei’s arrival before, so this Turtle Shell Sky Sealing Technique still had the power to seal a certain space.
The inside and outside of the array were two different worlds. Even Han Fei felt infinite gravity, not on the body but on the mind. This was a suppression of will, a suppression of the Dao heart. This suppression effect was ten times or a hundred times stronger than the physical suppression.
When Han Fei came in, many people frowned.
Wang Xiaojiu, the big cat, said in shock, “He’s here. He’s here. I couldn’t believe he didn’t come until now.”
When Han Fei arrived, everyone was nervous. Han Fei was the real initiator of this northern expedition and had many secrets. Who knew what Han Fei would do again?
Han Fei couldn’t be more familiar with the Turtle Shell Heaven Sealing Array. Although this Turtle Shell Heaven Sealing Array was a little different, when he raised his head, an invincible will descended, and many Dao patterns even surrounded Han Fei’s feet.
He strode forward and quickly climbed the mountain.
“How is that possible?”
As for the divine beasts, a One-Legged Kui Bull was shocked. In terms of anti-pressure ability, no one was stronger than him. But even he had to take a break with every step. But Han Fei took one step after another as if he was entering a place without anyone.
Wushuang asked Han Fei telepathically, “Where have you been? I thought you were already up here.”
Han Fei said, “I have something personal to tend to. But who brought you here?”
Wushuang said, “Mo Jiu, from the ferocious beasts. He said that he felt the attraction of a top bloodline in this direction. When we came, there were more than 200 of us, but we encountered three powerful level-eight strength-type puppets that blocked our way. Nearly a hundred of us died before we could kill them.”
“Mo Jiu?”
Han Fei’s face changed slightly. Mo Jiu was the leader of the ferocious beasts this time. Although he hadn’t shown his full strength yet, he was definitely not weak since he could command nearly 4,000 ferocious beasts in this northern expedition. Even Lin Ke, who he killed, had four Dao Locks. Mo Jiu should have at least five Dao Locks.
Although strong masters with five locks usually wouldn’t come to the Infinite Mining Area, they lived in the Infinite Mining Area in the first place. Not to mention five Dao Locks, Han Fei was almost certain that there must be Monarchs in the camp of the ferocious beasts.
Now, it was Mo Jiu who judged that this direction was abnormal. According to normal logic, Mo Jiu should have just brought his own people. Why did he bring the people from the Hundred Alliance City and the divine beasts too?
Han Fei asked, “Then how did you meet Mo Jiu and the divine beasts?”
Wushuang was a little puzzled, wondering why Han Fei was so interested in Mo Jiu. She said, “Not long after we entered the city. Because of the ambush of countless arrows, the crowd dispersed, but the strong reacted faster and quickly gathered together. Although we separated temporarily, our goal was the same. We all headed towards the center of the inner city. We met Mo Jiu by a circular lake. At that time, the ferocious beasts were fighting with the puppet guards, which alarmed us and the divine beasts. Then Mo Jiu pointed out the direction, indicating that it was difficult going forward and the ferocious beasts couldn’t survive alone and saying that we should put aside our grudges for the time being and go to the center first.”
Han Fei thought to himself, How could he know where to go from the moat? Come on, the moat is far away from here, and it’s impossible to use perception in the inner city. He is not Little Black and Little White. Even if he has the abilities of Little Black and Little White, there are still many trial grounds in the inner city. Why didn’t he go to the God Gazing Cave? Logically speaking, the God Gazing Cave is a huge treasure trove, and there is the Nine Giant God Turtle there. Why didn’t he sense it?
Han Fei said, “Don’t get too close to Mo Jiu. If I guess right, some of you have been corrupted by the consciousness of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand, which means the ominous.”
Wushuang’s pupils were constricted slightly, and she secretly took a breath. But then she said, “When we passed the river, some people were purified by the light in the river. Can’t the three consecutive purifications cleanse the ominous power?”
Han Fei: “It’s hard to say. Ordinary ominous powers might be purified, but the consciousness of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand is at the level of a Monarch.”
Wushuang frowned slightly. “Got it.”
After warning Wushuang, Han Fei no longer hesitated and strode forward. The Turtle Shell Sealing Heaven Array could stop others, but not him.
With a few leaps, Han Fei passed many people and was sprinting quickly towards the mountain.
This scene shocked many people.
Someone was shocked. “How can he be so fast and not be affected by this terrifying suppressing pressure at all?”
Someone’s expression changed drastically. “Not good. The Human Butcher must have known this place well in advance and had a way to deal with this suppressing pressure.”
Someone said telepathically, “Everyone, we can’t let him go up first. Maybe the Human Butcher has the key to the top of the mountain. If we let him go up, we won’t have any inheritance.”
At this time, Wang Xiaojiu shouted, “Brother Human Butcher, take me with you! I have chatted with you all the way and made a deep friendship with you. Please help me.”
The corners of Han Fei’s mouth twitched. Who the hell made a deep friendship with you?
Han Fei said, “Everyone, the opportunities in the world belong to the fated. I think you should have gained a lot from this trip. If you hadn’t come to this place, you would have gained more. However, the real opportunities can’t be shared by so many people. Therefore, I’ll take my leave first.”
In the blink of an eye, Han Fei passed Wang Xiaojiu and Wushuang.
At this time, Mo Jiu roared, “If you want to surpass us, you’ll have to see if you have the ability.”
Buzz!
Five-colored lights appeared on Mo Jiu’s body, and five chains floated on the surface of his body.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yes, Han Fei’s arrival finally made Mo Jiu panic. He had planned to put on a good show, but now that Han Fei was here, he couldn’t care less.
His goal was Puppet City. Although Puppet City was full of puppet guards now, there were definitely still many more puppets in Puppet City.
Once he took control of Puppet City, he would be able to release all the puppets. Then, when the puppet army was all polluted by the ominous, he could lead the army to encroach on the Infinite Mining Area, which would provide him with infinite power. At that time, he would be able to break through the shackles of the Monarch realm at any time. When the entire Infinite Mining Area was filled with the ominous power, it would be enough for him to become a super strong Great Monarch or even become a god.
Everyone was dumbfounded to see that Mo Jiu had unlocked five Dao Locks.
Wang Xiaojiu shouted, “Mo Jiu, are you crazy? How many times have you opened your Dao Locks? Now all five of them have been opened. With your current strength, it is extremely difficult to lock them again. At that time, you will have to face the Monarch-level Tribulation.”
Mo Jiu shouted, “Aren’t we cultivating to break through the shackles? Now, the inheritance of the Great Monarch must be on the mountain. With his inheritance, I can prove Dao at any time. If I don’t fight now, when will I?”
Buzz!
When all the five Dao Locks were activated, the Turtle Shell Heaven Sealing Array could no longer suppress Mo Jiu. And at this moment, Han Fei and Wushuang both understood that Mo Jiu had been corroded by the ominous.
This kind of absolute suppression of will couldn’t be completely broken through by unsealing the Dao Locks. Mo Jiu could completely break through because he had the will of a Great Monarch. Otherwise, at most, his strength would have skyrocketed but he still woouldn’t have been able to resist the suppression.
In the blink of an eye, a pair of black wings unfolded on Mo Jiu’s back. The black feathers were like a tide and slashed at Han Fei like billions of knife lights.
Han Fei, on the other hand, frowned. He didn’t dare to use the Void Stealing Technique on Mo Jiu. He could use it on a Monarch, but it didn’t mean that he could steal the will of a Great Monarch. If he did it, the instantaneous backlash might kill him.
Han Fei activated his Great Dao and increased his combat power by six times. Facing Mo Jiu’s ferocious black-feathered storm, he wrapped the Extreme Cold Pearl with the Silencing Fist and punched out.
Ka ka ka ~
The torrent of the power of the Carefree realm was unstoppable even if Mo Jiu fully unleashed his strength. Therefore, everyone saw that the endless black feathers froze in the air and then shattered.
Bang!
Just when everyone thought that Mo Jiu would be penetrated by Han Fei, a black demonic pill appeared in front of Mo Jiu. The power in this pill poured out like a Star Bead blow of a Sky Opening Realm powerhouse.
As for a five Dao Lock-level powerhouse, except for the fact that their laws were not as good as Monarchs, he could fight them. This blow collided with the Silencing Fist. Although most of the power was swallowed by the mountain, it still caused ripples that made the surrounding people unsteady. Those who were close had to burn their bloodlines to resist this explosion.
“Puff! Puff! Puff!”
Many people vomited blood and looked horrified. This was not a collision of the power of the Sky Opening Realm! This was a battle between Monarchs.
Mo Jiu was also covered in blood, but he said, “I’d like to see if your ultra-quality godly weapon can unleash such power again.”
Han Fei had no more scruples. He simply shouted, “Mo Jiu, or to be exact, Great Monarch Bloody Hand, do you really think you are still the Great Monarch Bloody Hand from back then? You are just a fragment of his consciousness. After a million years, I’d like to see how strong you can be!”
“What?!”
“Who is it?”
“Great Monarch Bloody Hand?”
Mo Jiu’s face turned cold. How did he know? Impossible! Hidden in the countless bloody hands, he launched a sneak attack on Mo Jiu almost in an instant. No one could discover it. How did this person discover him?
Wang Xiaojiu was stunned. “Hey, is there a misunderstanding here? Mo Jiu is from our ferocious beasts and has never been here before. Human Butcher, are you mistaken?”
Han Fei snorted coldly. “Don’t forget, the Great Monarch Bloody Hand could have surrounded and killed everyone, but why did he drive the northern expedition army into Puppet City? Have you figured out the fundamental reason why you can be here? Who suggested you come here? How did he know what was here? Use your brains. Don’t count money for the one who sells you.”
Hearing what Han Fei said, many people were stunned and then immediately activated their secret techniques, burning their bloodlines, and quickly avoiding Mo Jiu.
Among the divine beasts, the white tiger roared, “Human Butcher, do you mean that he has been corroded by the ominous? But on this trip, Puppet City has unleashed the power of purification many times⦔
But in the next moment, the white tiger fell silent. If he were a Great Monarch, would he really be unable to avoid this power of purification?
Mo Jiu said, “Nonsense. Go to hell.”
