Although unsure how to activate the Robot, Xiao Yefeng was not foolish enough to approach it. The massive pit beside it was clearly left by Cardinal after activating the machine, and getting too close would be sheer stupidity.
He took out the largest Flying Needle he had, which was only larger in diameter, as it was meant for dealing with people. Facing this iron lump, Xiao Yefeng wondered if it would even have any effect.
"Whoosh!"
The Flying Needle shot forth, wrapped in Golden Cyan Qi, striking the third Robot like a bullet from a sniper rifle. With a clang, the Flying Needle embedded itself in the Robot's chest. Unfortunately, once activated, the Robot moved and swatted the Flying Needle away. However, the fact that the Qi-wrapped Flying Needle could penetrate its armor showcased Xiao Yefeng's advantage.
At that moment, the short knife in Xiao Yefeng's hand was also made of V-Alloy, and Chinese craftsmanship was second to none globally. Not only did it possess the ability to break through spiritual defenses, but it also amplified the user's spiritual power. With Xiao Yefeng infusing his Qi into it, the short knife had nearly doubled in length, now almost two feet long as he faced this iron behemoth.
The Robot's attacks were straightforward and predictable. Relying on his agile body, Xiao Yefeng danced around the Robot's strikes. Unfortunately, while his short knife could cut through the Robot's defenses, it failed to inflict any real damage. Several times he attempted to leverage his position to leap onto the Robot's head but returned empty-handed whenever he got within two meters of it.
The mechanical arms moved with impenetrable precision, wielding strange Light Blade swords like swinging doors. Not to mention another mechanical arm resembling a cannon. After three attempts to attack using Talisman power, each time was countered by that cannon-like arm, forcing Xiao Yefeng to retreat while searching for advantageous terrain.
"Boom!" The Light Blade swept across a nearby building. Seizing an opportunity, Xiao Yefeng kicked off the blade and propelled himself toward a wall on the opposite side. Using the rebound from that wall, he successfully vaulted over the Robot.
At that moment, sensing danger, the Light Blade embedded in the wall glowed brightly. The one-inch-wide Light Blade suddenly widened to palm size and sliced through the wall. Just as Xiao Yefeng was about to land atop the Robot, another mechanical arm folded like a cannon barrel crashed upward toward him, preventing his descent while simultaneously sending the Light Blade toward him with unrelenting force.
"Hmph! I've been waiting for this move!" As Xiao Yefeng's Qi surged around him, a Yellow Talisman ignited above his head. He charged directly at both the Light Blade and the cannon arm like a moth drawn to flame.
With a crack, the Light Blade struck against the cannon arm while Xiao Yefeng positioned himself between them and transformed into a Yellow Talisman that vanished. The real Xiao Yefeng appeared above the Robot, his palm infused with Carefree Righteousness morphing into a sphere of Golden Cyan Qi that enveloped the Robot's Talisman. In less than a minute, Xiao Yefeng's Qi corroded and erased the Talisman atop the Robot's head.
As Xiao Yefeng had suspected, once the Talisman disappeared, the furnace inside the Robot gradually extinguished its flames. However, just as he intended to examine this Robot's structure more closely, a gentle touch caused it to disintegrate into scrap metal like its predecessor marked with a four.
Glancing at what appeared to be a Talisman but differed significantly from one in his hand, Xiao Yefeng contemplated before storing it back within his Spirit Platform. With the Robot now defeated, he decided to investigate the hidden entrance behind it. Earlier during its battle with Cardinal, he had noticed a concealed door behind this Robot; evidently, it served as a guardian for something important.
Pushing open the dark door, Xiao Yefeng found himself in a relatively tidy room. In the center stood a circular disk bathed in mechanical light. The moment he saw the disk, he realized it was the very object that Cao Man had saved him with.
After testing the light beam and finding it safe, Xiao Yefeng reached out to take the disk. It was adorned with peculiar patterns, and most importantly, after channeling Qi into it, the disk showed no signs of damage. With a flash of light, it projected a large Shield, clearly a product of Atlantis combined with new-age civilization.
At that moment, as Xiao Yefeng lifted the disk, a short rod-like object with uneven markings floated up from below. With a pull of his hand, guided by Qi, Xiao Yefeng grasped this strange metallic object. It appeared to be a component of some kind, with interfaces on all sides, indicating it was part of a machine or something similar.
Just then, the shaking ground warned Xiao Yefeng that the structure was about to collapse. Grabbing both the disk and the peculiar component, he swiftly made his way to an exit. With a thunderous roar, the building behind him crumbled. Amidst the tremors, an exit identical to the one he had entered appeared before him. Unsure of its purpose, Xiao Yefeng stowed away the two strange items and stepped through the light gate. He vanished from that place just as it transformed into swirling sands and disappeared.
When he opened his eyes again, Xiao Yefeng found himself back in the cave where he had first entered the ruins. However, the strange component in his backpack began to glow, seemingly guiding him back to the light gate. Turning around to re-enter, he discovered that two paths had emerged within the gate: one was buried under sand—the path he had just come from—and the other had an interface.
Carefully aligning the component with the interface, Xiao Yefeng inserted it and was transported to a city enveloped in blue hues. Upon closer inspection, it wasn't merely blue; it was actually the color of the sea. Schools of deep-sea fish swam just above him beneath a luminous membrane that separated two worlds: outside was pitch black while inside was brightly lit.
This place was called a city by modern standards; judging by its architectural style, it resembled a royal palace. Following the main road ahead, Xiao Yefeng made his way toward the center of this royal city. There, beneath a radiant blue glow, he saw over a dozen people staring at each other—survivors who had arrived through Robot No. 3's light gate.
Meanwhile, Mo Fei had successfully retrieved a disk from within a light beam but found no strange components. Consequently, upon passing through the light gate, he returned directly to the hall he had just entered. Many others shared his fate; several from Huaxia were in similar situations, indicating that not many spaces contained components for retrieval.
Tension filled the royal city as well as outside near the light gate; however, there were few people present and everyone feared ambushes from one another, resulting in no one taking action.
At that moment, as Xiao Yefeng rushed into the royal city, he caught everyone's attention within its walls. A chilling aura of hostility surged toward him.
"Clang!"
Weapons clashed as a lance met a pair of uniquely designed iron fists. The impact caused a significant dent in the lance wielded by Davis—the only Holy Knight of the Church—while Cao Man was responsible for delivering that powerful punch which forced Davis back and pulled Xiao Yefeng behind him for safety.
"Wind! Move behind us!" At that moment, Li Xiangjun arrived beside Xiao Yefeng. The two Peak Level warriors shielded Xiao Yefeng, completely eliminating the possibility of Davis attacking him.
"Are you really going to oppose us Westerners?" Davis gritted his teeth as he saw a notch appear in the gun's blade.
"Enough of this nonsense! Let's compete fairly. Why should we, the Huaxia, yield? Just because you have more people?" Cao Man swung his fists, and a fierce gust of wind forced those with lesser strength among the opposing group to step back.
The people across from them clearly feared Cao Man's iron fists. It was the first time Xiao Yefeng had seen such gauntlets; they were evidently treasures that Cao Man had obtained here. At that moment, Davis clenched his teeth and said, "Fine! Since the Metaphysics Society has taken a stand against us, don’t blame us for being ruthless. Everyone! We only need two more parts for the Heart of Atlantis. Once we gather them, we will strike!"
Davis did not hide or conceal his plans from the Huaxia people. His intention to attack was clear: to annihilate everyone from the Metaphysics Society. At this moment, Li Xiangjun scoffed, "Hmph! Is Pope Arthur dead? When did it become your turn to call the shots? I doubt even Arthur would dare to wage war against us from the Metaphysics Society!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Xiangjun finished speaking, Davis's expression turned cold. Seeing this, Xiao Yefeng, Li Xiangjun, and Cao Man all exclaimed in unison, "The Pope is dead?"
The three of them saw the answer in Davis's eyes. At this moment, Davis said, "Your Excellency merely made his contribution for the Holy Light to shine upon the earth. Let me tell you plainly, Metaphysics Society: if you hand over what Atlantis has left behind this time, we will not invade the East. Otherwise, don’t blame me for unleashing the wrath of the Western Gods and bloodily cleansing the Eastern Outsider circle!"
Before Davis could finish, Li Xiangjun interjected, "Stop with that talk! Do you think invoking the gods will scare us? We in the East will not sit idly by!"
"Hahaha! Did you hear that? Your realm is already in disarray! Let me tell you that according to Lord Xius's orders, our Church unconditionally supports Young Master Jie’s plan. A new era is destined to be ours. If you know what’s good for you, don’t make any rash moves; however, that child must pay for my disciple’s life!"
Davis pointed at Xiao Yefeng. The golden-haired Davis had watched him grow up; his cultivation and Holy Light Power were among the best. Yet this future holy knight had met his end at the hands of this child. How could Davis swallow such a bitter pill?
