292. Chapter 292: Long Xuan's Shock

Long Xuan and the others also climbed the city wall along with the crowd, heading straight for the puppet general on the far right.

This puppet general was in a huge city tower, and the position where Long Xuan and his group climbed the city wall was also the position closest to this city tower.

Just as Long Xuan climbed the city wall, he saw an arrow flying rapidly, accurately shooting into the forehead of a Gu cultivator not far from him. This Gu cultivator immediately fell under the city wall and died on the spot.

This arrow was shot by that puppet general. This puppet general was a multi-functional model, holding a spear, holding a bow, and also hanging a sword at its waist, riding a tiger-type beast puppet under its crotch.

This puppet general was not only good at melee but also good at long-range combat, and riding a mount made its speed extremely fast, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

Just now, when the Gu cultivator army was attacking the city, there was no telling how many Gu cultivators died under its sharp arrows. Even if the Gu cultivators held large shields, they simply couldn't defend against its sharp arrows.

The other two puppet generals on this city wall were also of the same model, standing on a large and high city tower, looking down from a high position and shooting arrows downward constantly.

Every time an arrow fell, a Gu cultivator would definitely die.

The puppet general's archery technique was extremely accurate, almost achieving one hundred percent accuracy.

And the arrows shot by the puppet general were extremely fast, simply not something an Essence Refining stage Gu cultivator could easily dodge.

The puppet general almost shot whoever it aimed at, and every time it bent its bow, a Gu cultivator's forehead would definitely be pierced, and they would fall heavily to the ground.

At this time, Cai Shao and the Nine Prince each led one hundred people to rush toward these two puppet generals, but because the puppet generals were standing on the city tower looking down from a high position, they had already paid huge casualties under their sharp arrows before they could even get close to these two puppet generals.

Facing the sharp arrows of the puppet generals, Long Xuan didn't dare to be careless. He also didn't dare to be sure whether he could catch an arrow shot by a Spirit Sea peak puppet.

He didn't dare to gamble, and the best method was not to catch the arrows shot by the puppet generals.

So after climbing the city wall, he took Little White out of the insect breeding bag at the first opportunity, then shook it awake, and let it release the Slowing Domain at the first opportunity.

Although this ability was simple, it was extremely practical and could almost be used in any combat situation.

Under the Slowing Domain, the speed of the arrows shot by the puppet general suddenly became slow.

This arrow was shot toward Leng Yan, but Leng Yan just tilted her body slightly and easily dodged this arrow.

After the sharp arrow was slowed down by the Slowing Domain, it could already be easily dodged by Essence Refining stage Gu cultivators.

It could be said that the arrows of this puppet general could no longer pose any threat to Long Xuan and the others.

It could be said that the other two battlefields surrounding the puppet generals suffered heavy casualties under the arrows of the puppet generals, while Long Xuan's side didn't have a single person die so far, just because of the ability of one kind of Gu worm.

Leng Yan, who had dodged this arrow, turned her head to look at Long Xuan, feeling incomparably shocked in her heart.

What kind of Gu worm was this? She had read extensively, yet she had never seen it before. This was another Gu worm she didn't recognize. How many Gu worms did this captain have that she didn't recognize?

After looking at Long Xuan with a grateful gaze, she quickly withdrew her gaze.

She also wasn't sure whether she could catch the arrow of the puppet general. If it weren't for the fact that the speed of that arrow was slowed down, the consequences would have been simply unimaginable. Long Xuan could be considered to have saved her life, and she had to accept this favor.

Since the arrows of the puppet general could no longer pose a threat to them, they soon climbed to the city tower and launched a siege on this puppet general.

Originally, this puppet general was riding a beast puppet, and its speed was extremely fast.

But under the influence of the Slowing Domain, its mount didn't play any role, and its speed became extremely slow.

On the contrary, under the blessing of the Rapid Field, the speed of the group became extremely fast.

With this increase and decrease, the speed of this group of Essence Refining stage Gu cultivators was actually faster than this puppet general. For a time, the puppet general was beaten to the point of being miserable, having only the power to parry.

Don't ever think that Little White has few materials and simple abilities, but its practical combat effect is very heaven-defying. Anyone who has their speed significantly reduced will have a headache.

Speed is an attribute that is always greater than attack and defense.

It was precisely because the speed of the puppet general was truly too slow that Di Xin seized the opportunity, used an array disk, and firmly trapped it.

I don't know what kind of array disk this was, but it flew out one golden thread after another. Under the binding of the golden threads, even if the puppet general had infinite strength, it couldn't break free in a short time.

At this time, the puppet general was equivalent to standing still and letting everyone hit it.

The group was very excited. If they didn't take heavy action now, when would they? Thus, various attacks hit the puppet general's body without holding back, and some even used their trump cards.

However, their attacks hit this puppet general like scratching an itch; they couldn't even leave a single trace on the puppet general's body.

The puppet general was unable to move for a short time and could only let people hit it, but they couldn't break the defense of this puppet general at all. This was embarrassing.

Even Yang Zhan only took the opportunity to kill its tiger-type mount; facing its exaggerated defense, he was actually helpless.

You must know that the puppet general was built entirely from Geng metal essence. How hard is Geng metal essence? Was it something a group of Essence Refining stage Gu cultivators could break through just by saying so?

Di Xin's forehead was covered in fine sweat, and she shouted loudly at Long Xuan: "Don't hide your skills anymore. My Prisoning Dragon Array simply can't trap it for long. It's about to break free."

"Taking advantage of the fact that it can't move now, hurry up and take out your strongest attack method to finish it off. Otherwise, once it breaks free and turns this battle into a protracted war, your crew members will definitely suffer casualties!"

Long Xuan looked at her in surprise. How could she be so sure that his attack would definitely be able to break the defense of this puppet general? Did she have so much confidence in him? She really guessed right.

At this time, Long Xuan also knew that it was not the time to hide his skills. Taking advantage of the fact that the puppet general couldn't move now, it was best for him to cherish the opportunity and solve it.

Otherwise, who knew what kind of trump cards this puppet general had? Once it broke free, it might really cause them not small casualties.

Long Xuan didn't hesitate anymore, directly opened the first four gates of the Life and Death Gate, and quickly rushed toward the puppet general.

He had a massive amount of Geng metal essence on him, so he knew too well how terrifying the defense of Geng metal essence was.

He knew deeply that even if he attacked the most vulnerable part of the puppet general, he had to open the first four gates of the Life and Death Gate.

As for the problem of side effects, he didn't need to consider it at all.

The first four gates of the Life and Death Gate consume spiritual power, blood, Qi and blood, and spiritual power. These are all renewable things. Consuming these things won't cause irreversible damage to his body.

As long as he closes the first four gates after opening them for just one second, the side effects produced by the Life and Death Gate on him can almost be ignored.

So if the Life and Death Gate only opens the first four gates, and the battle time is extremely short, he can completely use it as a trump card.

At this time, this puppet general couldn't move, giving him one second was enough.

Long Xuan rushed to the puppet general almost instantly and hit its chest heavily with a Collapse Fist.

With just one punch, the top-grade spirit stone in the puppet general's chest was destroyed.

The movement and attack of a puppet require energy consumption, and the energy source of a puppet basically comes from spirit stones, or the spirit core inside a spirit beast, also known as the internal core.

So the energy core is the most important place for a puppet. Once the energy core is destroyed, any puppet will lose its ability to move.

The energy core can be said to be the weakness of all puppets.

Sometimes even if the puppet's head is smashed, the puppet might not necessarily die. After all, the vital points of non-living bodies are completely different from humans and cannot be judged by common sense.

And destroying the puppet's energy core will definitely paralyze the puppet.

So as soon as the top-grade spirit stone in this puppet general's body was destroyed, it immediately stopped struggling and fell heavily to the ground, motionless.

Not long after, this puppet general disappeared into thin air on the ground.

The group all looked at Long Xuan in a daze, revealing a look of deep shock in their eyes.

If they might have had some doubts before hearing that the captain had once killed Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivators across levels, thinking it was just hearsay.

But now they had to believe it.

Everyone used their strongest trump cards but couldn't even leave a trace on the puppet general, yet this captain solved this puppet general easily with just a light blow. It was simply perverted.

They knew too well how exaggerated the defense of this puppet general was.

The power the captain just used was definitely power far exceeding that of an Essence Refining peak Gu cultivator.

And this kind of power that clearly didn't belong to an Essence Refining peak Gu cultivator didn't seem like a forbidden art with huge side effects, because at this time, the captain was completely fine and didn't look like he had been backlashed by the power of a forbidden art at all. Everyone was numb.

Just at this moment, a deafening explosion came from not far away, attracting everyone's attention.

Long Xuan subconsciously looked toward the direction of the explosion, seeing that the source of the explosion was actually the battlefield where the Nine Prince led people to engage in a melee with the puppet general in the middle.

At this time, that puppet general had actually been blown into countless fragments, with various shapes of metal fragments flying everywhere, and the center of the explosion was charred black.

At this time, that Nine Prince had already led the remaining manpower to kill their way into the city.

Long Xuan was shocked. Was such a tricky puppet general solved so quickly by this Nine Prince?

He hurriedly looked at the puppet general responsible for Cai Shao and the others, discovering that this battlefield ended even faster.

That puppet general had already disappeared, and Cai Shao had led the remaining manpower to kill their way under the city before them.

Long Xuan couldn't remain calm. He originally thought his speed in solving the puppet general was fast enough, but he didn't expect someone's speed to be even faster, and he had become the slowest instead.

That was a Spirit Sea peak puppet general. How on earth did they solve it so quickly!

Was the puppet general nerfed? Before entering the city, he was wary of these three puppet generals to the extreme, thinking they would become the biggest obstacle blocking the Gu cultivator army, and the Gu cultivator army would definitely suffer heavy casualties under the attacks of these three puppet generals.

Who would have thought that these three puppet generals would be so weak, actually being killed instantly, not causing too much obstruction to the Gu cultivator army at all.

Long Xuan simply couldn't believe his eyes. He sighed in his heart. Sure enough, one shouldn't underestimate the geniuses of the world. The geniuses of the Gu world are like crucian carp crossing the river, and there are still many geniuses who can cause damage to puppet generals.

He couldn't help but feel wary of these two people.

These two people actually had the power to kill Spirit Sea peak. This kind of power could naturally also threaten him. His defense couldn't possibly be harder than a puppet general.

That kind of power that could blow a puppet general into pieces, his soul armor might not necessarily be able to withstand it.

If he were to face them next, he must be careful. (End of chapter)
