Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 122 - 116 Lightning Puppet

Qin Qing advanced on the Spiritual Pattern Master, murderous intent fully revealed.

Just at this life-or-death moment, the Spiritual Pattern Master’s hands shot out a ray of light and shadow.

Spiritual patterns fluctuated!

The ray of light and shadow was remarkably a Spiritual Artifact!

Qin Qing’s eyes narrowed as he immediately recognized that the artifact was actually a Sleeve Sword.

"Die!"

A cold sneer flickered in the Spiritual Pattern Master’s eyes.

Using a shuriken at such close range, and moreover, a Spiritual Treasure—he didn’t believe Qin Qing could block it!

However, the next moment, he stood frozen in place.

Qin Qing’s hand just grabbed, as if he was catching a fish, no, it was much more leisurely than catching a fish.

The shuriken naturally landed in his grasp!

"Not good!"

The Spiritual Pattern Master’s heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition washing over him.

"Escape!"

The only voice in his mind now was to flee!

He turned and made a break for it, running for his life.

But at the same time, the Sleeve Sword in Qin Qing’s hand had already been flung out.

"Next instant!"

"Puchi!"

The Sleeve Sword shot through the back of the fleeing Spiritual Pattern Master’s head, the tip piercing out from the center of his forehead, nailing the man directly to a large tree!

The last Spiritual Pattern Master had already fled in panic.

Qin Qing did not chase after him but turned back to the spot where the three Spiritual Pattern Masters had been.

Soon, Qin Qing sensed the fluctuations of spiritual patterns around him.

He began trying to control these spiritual patterns.

"As expected..."

The moment he touched these spiritual patterns, he discovered the trick within.

This place turned out to be the focal point of the Thousand Machines Array that governed all of Thousand Mechanism Valley.

To put it simply, all of the puppets in Thousand Mechanism Valley were actually under the control of a vast Spiritual Array.

This Spiritual Array was called the Thousand Machines Array, and the core of its control was the focal point.

The three disciples from East Campus knew where the focal point was and had activated the mechanism to control it, which meant they were very familiar with the Spiritual Array inside Thousand Mechanism Valley!

Why were they so familiar?

Clearly, someone was guiding them from behind.

"Hehe... The person behind this must want more than just for the West Courtyard to lose to East Campus. Going to such lengths, the main reason is probably to deal with me, right?"

Qin Qing began to manipulate the spiritual patterns.

Actually, once the focal point was found, controlling the spiritual patterns wasn’t so difficult.

Most importantly, Qin Qing didn’t have to control the entire large formation, but just a small part of the Thousand Machines Array.

Before long, the puppets that had been surrounding the West Courtyard Disciples began to disperse gradually.

Following this, Gong Yanghe and others let out long sighs of relief.

"It’s the boss!"

"The boss has taken care of those guys controlling the puppets."

Gong Yanghe looked over towards Qin Qing.

Mo Liangsong and the others also showed delighted expressions.

Just now, as more and more puppets continued to attack, they were nearly at the end of their rope.

Before long, they saw that the puppets, which had previously surrounded them, had turned to attack the disciples from East Campus.

"Go, let’s go quickly!"

Qin Qing waved to everyone.

"Hurry to Senior Qin’s side!"

"The crisis is over! Hurry over!"

These West Courtyard Disciples, one after another, rushed towards Qin Qing.

The injured disciples were helped by their uninjured fellows, quickly making their way over.

"Follow me!"

Qin Qing held a long spear and charged at the forefront, knocking the blocking puppets away one after another.

Gong Yanghe and others followed behind Qin Qing, also constantly helping to repel the puppets.

But more puppets still surged towards Mu Yunlan and the East Campus disciples.

"Leave Thousand Mechanism Valley as quickly as possible, these puppets are almost out of control, and after attacking the East Campus disciples, they’ll likely turn to attack us next!"

Qin Qing warned everyone to leave quickly, not only because the puppets were gradually losing control, but also because many of the West Courtyard disciples were seriously injured and needed immediate treatment!

Several West Courtyard disciples had already died, and Qin Qing didn’t want to see any more deaths!

"Rumble..."

Suddenly!

There was a loud thunderclap!

A puppet encased in lightning appeared.

"Is there actually such a powerful puppet?"

Qin Qing was shocked.

This puppet might have the strength of the Golden Core Realm.

The Thousand Machines Array in Thousand Mechanism Valley was probably truly on the verge of losing control, causing such powerful puppets to emerge.

The newly recruited disciples simply couldn’t resist such powerful puppets, a single thunderbolt could probably kill a group of weaker new recruits in an instant!

"Quickly!"

"Don’t linger!"

Qin Qing roared, leading at the front.

The puppet radiating thunder and lightning actually charged directly towards Qin Qing.

"Boss, be careful!"

"This is bad!"

"That puppet is too powerful. Perhaps even Senior Qin can’t stop it. Are we all going to die here today?"

The West Courtyard disciples were immediately thrown into panic.

They had just extricated themselves from a crisis only to fall into a new one?

Meanwhile, outside Thousand Mechanism Valley.

At the Martial Arts Ground of Great Qian Martial Institute.

Everyone’s attention was still focused on what was happening inside Thousand Mechanism Valley.

Everything happening inside the valley was in full view of these people.

"What’s going on?"

Zheng Kaihe suddenly stood up.

Bai Qiuhe, Xu Qingyuan, and other West Courtyard elders, including Xu Fang, stood up incredulously.

"How could there be a Lightning Puppet?"

"A Lightning Puppet appearing in the assessment of new disciples, do you understand what this means?" Zheng Kaihe roared almost hysterically.

Elder Zheng Kaihe was usually a reserved person and rarely yelled in such situations.

But he couldn’t help it now!

"Immediately stop the assessment, halt the Thousand Machines Array, and enter Thousand Mechanism Valley for the rescue!" Bai Qiuhe also said gravely.

But the East Campus remained unmoved.

Including Qin Chang, everyone’s expression did not change.

It seemed that all of this was within their expectations.

"Elder Bai, your words are amiss!" Linghu Leiyue smirked and said, "Previously, we had reached an agreement that all matters would be left to the disciples to resolve."

"Linghu Leiyue, don’t think that I’m unaware. Your East Campus disciples found the core of the Thousand Machines Array so quickly and controlled the Spiritual Array to manipulate the puppets to attack our West Courtyard," Bai Qiuhe said coldly.

Linghu Leiyue’s expression turned cold as he responded, "Elder Bai, I advise you not to make baseless accusations!"

"Is that so?" Bai Qiuhe neither confirmed nor denied, "And what about that Lightning Puppet? In the entire Great Qian Martial Institute, apart from you, Linghu Leiyue, who else could refine and control a Lightning Puppet?"

"What of it?" Linghu Leiyue said disdainfully, "The Lightning Puppets placed in Thousand Mechanism Valley are not just for the disciples’ assessment. They also have the responsibility of protecting the safety of Great Qian Martial Institute... It was Qin Qing who arbitrarily manipulated the Thousand Machines Array, causing issues with the formation. The Lightning Puppet came out because of that. If you have to blame anyone, blame him..."

At this moment, the deans and elders of the East Campus, one by one, were secretly smug.

Seeing Qin Qing turn the situation around time and again, they had long been displeased.

And now, with the emergence of the Lightning Puppet, it was exactly to their liking.

Looking at the situation now, faced with this Lightning Puppet, Qin Qing was likely in grave danger...
