Chapter 211: Is it really that big shot?
On the open ground in front of the pavilion, the battle had entered a white-hot stage. Ma Xianhong was enveloped in the black light emitted by his Wudou Armor, the white puppet danced eerily beside him, and that iron-ball-shaped Daotun Shou hovered in the air, radiating a heart-palpitating suction force.
"Do you think you can defeat me like this?" Ma Xianhong sneered, a frantic light flickering in his eyes. He manipulated the white puppet to perform Earth Walking Immortal while simultaneously having the Daotun Shou continuously absorb the Qi from the surroundings.
The Qi in the bodies of Xiao Zizai and Lao Meng was being absorbed by the Daotun Shou, yet neither of them showed the slightest panic. Lao Meng's swarm of insects formed one defensive line after another, while Xiao Zizai kept searching for an opportunity to break through.
Just then, two figures flashed out from the darkness—it was Heiguan and Wang Zhenqiu.
"Right on time!" Seeing the enemies arrive, Jin Yong immediately shouted loudly, "All of you, attack!"
Following his command, dozens of villager Outsiders rushed out from all directions, wielding various Dharma Artifacts. More Ruhu puppets also joined the battlefield, forming a massive encirclement.
"This is a bit troublesome." Wang Zhenqiu said softly, then took out a mask, "Then let me show you this—Godhead Mask!"
The moment the mask was applied, a powerful aura erupted. Wang Zhenqiu's figure changed, transforming into the vivid image of the Monkey King. This was his strongest combat state.
"Interesting!" A hint of excitement flashed in Heiguan's eyes as the launcher on his arm began to charge, "Let me loosen up my muscles too."
A chaotic battle broke out instantly. Wang Zhenqiu transformed into Sun Wukong, his golden cudgel whistling with the wind, each strike capable of knocking down several opponents. His movements were agile and nimble, perfectly embodying the characteristics of the Monkey King.
Heiguan, meanwhile, displayed an astonishing level of combat skill. Every one of his movements was precisely calculated, and the Dharma Artifact projectiles fired from his launcher formed a lethal web, leaving the enemies with nowhere to hide.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A continuous sound of people falling to the ground rang out. Although those villager Outsiders were numerous, they appeared so vulnerable before the two Temporary Workers. Even the Ruhu puppets that Jin Yong took pride in were destroyed one by one.
"No!" Ma Xianhong watched the villagers fall, the rage in his heart nearly consuming him. These were people who trusted him and followed him, yet now they were falling before his eyes.
"Why? Why must you stop me? I only want to help more people!" Ma Xianhong roared, manipulating his puppets to launch even more violent attacks, "I only want ordinary people to be able to obtain power! What is wrong with that?"
However, before his words could fade, a series of shattering sounds arrived. The Dharma Artifacts he took pride in began to break one by one under the joint efforts of the four. The Six-Harmony Beads turned to powder, the Sky-Crying Roar was beaten out of shape, and even the Daotun Shou developed cracks.
At the same time, on a tree branch higher up, Lin Xuan watched the battle quietly with Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai.
"Benefactor, do you think Ma Xianhong can win?" Xiao Qing asked, tilting her head, a curious light flickering in her eyes.
Lin Xuan smiled slightly: "Just keep watching and you will know."
On the battlefield, Ma Xianhong's situation was becoming increasingly difficult. Although his two puppets were powerful, they struggled to exert their full strength under the siege of the four. The speed of the Hei Ou was countered by Wang Zhenqiu, while the white puppet's Earth Walking Immortal was restricted by Lao Meng's insect swarm.
The final line of defense—the Wudou Armor—also developed cracks under Xiao Zizai's fierce assault. Ma Xianhong felt unprecedented despair; all his trump cards had been broken, and all his reliance had been destroyed.
"It's over." Heiguan said calmly.
The four launched their final attack simultaneously. Ma Xianhong's figure swayed in the massive shockwave, eventually falling heavily to the ground. All his Dharma Artifacts were shattered, and even the two puppets he took pride in lay limp on the ground, having lost their vitality.
"I... lost..." Ma Xianhong lay on the ground, gazing at the starry sky, his voice filled with bitterness. His dreams, his plans, had all turned into bubbles at this moment.
After the battle ended, the Temporary Workers were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Heiguan took out his phone and sent a message to his colleagues down the mountain: "Operation successful, you can come up the mountain to collect the people."
"Finally got it done." Wang Zhenqiu stretched his limbs, the Godhead Mask on his body having already faded away.
Just then, Heiguan's gaze fell on the phone screen, and the photo taken earlier caught his attention again: "Speaking of which, who do you think this person is? That kind of aura is definitely not that of an ordinary person."
The other Temporary Workers gathered around to look at the phone. In the photo, the young man was with two stunning beauties; although it was only a side profile, it gave off an indescribable sense of oppression.
Xiao Zizai pushed up his glasses: "It is indeed very special. That feeling is like facing an insurmountable high mountain."
"I have also encountered them." Wang Zhenqiu said thoughtfully, "That kind of aura makes one involuntarily want to retreat."
Just as everyone was discussing it, Feng Baobao, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke: "That is Lin Xuan."
This sentence exploded among the Temporary Workers like a bomb. Everyone widened their eyes, looking at Feng Baobao in disbelief.
"Lin Xuan? You mean that Lin Xuan?" Heiguan's voice even changed, "The newly appointed Ten Elder of Baiyun Guan?"
"That is impossible." Xiao Zizai shook his head, "The person in the photo looks completely different."
However, Wang Zhenqiu suddenly thought of something: "Wait, what if he used a disguise technique?"
This sentence left everyone stunned. That's right, with Lin Xuan's strength, a disguise technique would be nothing more than a minor trick to him. Looking at the photo again, although the appearance was different, that temperament, that sense of pressure...
"My god..." Lao Meng gasped, "No wonder my insect swarm was instinctively afraid. It turns out this big shot came in person."
"But why would he come to Biyou Village?" Heiguan frowned in thought, "Just to watch our operation?"
"Perhaps he has his own plans." Wang Zhenqiu said, "For a figure of that level, I am afraid we will never be able to guess his thoughts."
The group fell into silence. They suddenly realized that their actions just now might have been under that person's gaze from the very beginning. This feeling made their backs go cold.
"No wonder..." Xiao Zizai muttered.
"Come to think of it," Heiguan looked at Feng Baobao, "how did you recognize him?"
Feng Baobao tilted her head, looking innocent: "I don't know."
Just then, a night breeze blew by, and a light laugh seemed to come from afar. Everyone couldn't help but shiver. They knew that person might be somewhere, watching all of this.
Heiguan looked at his phone, then at the sky: "Alright, stop thinking so much. Dealing with the matter at hand is what matters."
The others nodded one after another. Indeed, compared to an existence of that level, they were still better suited to doing concrete things. However, starting from tonight, the name Biyou Village would likely leave a deep mark on the Outsider world.
