"Mm! You may leave now!"
Li Yunjing waved his hand, signaling the other party that they could go.
"Yes! I shall take my leave now!"
Cong Rujin let out a long sigh of relief, stood up slowly, and put on the previous bamboo hat.
Cong Rujin’s aura changed completely, as if he was a different person.
"Mm! There must be someone waiting for you outside! I hope you can survive and advance to Foundation Establishment Realm."
Li Yunjing nodded and gestured for him to go.
"I understand! Thank you, Young Master Li, for the reminder!"
After disguising himself, Cong Rujin’s voice became sharp and hoarse again.
He bowed to Li Yunjing, then left the room, preparing to fight his way out to escape!
Not long after, there was a loud noise outside the gate, followed by the sound of fighting and shouting.
"How dare you! Who are you people? How dare you cause trouble on Myriad Swords Sect’s territory!"
The sudden chaos startled the disciples of Myriad Swords Sect arranged outside, and they immediately became furious.
One of them shouted angrily, filled with killing intent.
"Haha! This guy’s luck is really bad, I wonder if he can survive."
The noise outside was loud enough to make Li Yunjing slightly startled. He finished his tea and stood up slowly.
Li Yunjing walked towards the door, ready to push it open and watch the commotion outside.
As Li Yunjing was about to push the door, he felt a sudden uneasiness.
It seemed that some danger was approaching!
Li Yunjing’s expression turned serious as he stopped in his tracks and prepared to respond cautiously.
With a "bang", the door suddenly shattered into pieces, and a gust of wind blew into the room, instantly dropping the temperature by several degrees, making it icy cold.
A giant beast leaped in, its sharp, glistening claws aiming straight for Li Yunjing’s face.
"Not good! Someone is taking advantage of the chaos to make a move against me!"
Li Yunjing was startled and quickly dodged. The sharp claws, like knives, grazed his face, bringing a biting wind.
"It’s not a spirit beast! It’s a puppet mechanism beast!"
In the blink of an eye, Li Yunjing saw the slender, leopard-like monster was not a flesh-and-blood creature but something crafted with puppetry.
Such a puppet mechanism beast typically operates by using Spirit Stones to supply energy, driving it to act according to its master’s commands, whether to attack enemies or perform other tasks.
Although it was Li Yunjing’s first encounter with a puppet mechanism beast and he was greatly shocked, there were related records on the Shenxiao Jade Scroll.
At this moment, Li Yunjing was certain of what was in front of him.
This puppet mechanism beast was incredibly formidable, extremely fast, moving like lightning, with immense strength, and its attack brought a powerful force, making even someone as skilled as Li Yunjing feel suffocated!
A treasure could not be owned by an ordinary person!
Who took advantage of the outside chaos to launch an attack on him?
Li Yunjing’s mind raced as he fended off the puppet mechanism beast’s attacks and pondered the reasons for being hunted down!
Was it that bastard Wei Henian, or because he flaunted wealth at the previous trade fair?
Had it been any other outer sect disciple of Shenxiao Dao Sect, they would have been flustered in this situation, but Li Yunjing had wandered the Jianghu before entering the sect.
Having faced numerous ambushes, assassination, and poisoning incidents, he was not panicked now, still having the mind to calculate the reason behind the attack.
Li Yunjing moved like a dragon, dodging around the room, avoiding a direct confrontation with the puppet mechanism beast.
The Soul-Slaying Sword in Li Yunjing’s hand flickered with a ghostly light, sending out countless sword flowers to harass the puppet mechanism beast continuously.
In Li Yunjing’s view, there was no need to fight head-on with this creature!
When its Spirit Stone is exhausted, this puppet mechanism beast would be his!
Li Yunjing was genuinely curious about the principles behind it!
If he could comprehend its secrets, it would be a great advantage for him.
Moreover, Li Yunjing was in an important place of Myriad Swords Sect.
Just wait for a while, reinforcements from Myriad Swords Sect would surely arrive, so why should he be in a hurry?
But things were not as simple as Li Yunjing thought. After a prolonged attack, the puppet mechanism beast had no way to break through.
Suddenly, it opened its mouth and issued a tremendous roar, making Li Yunjing’s head buzz with vibration!
No one had expected this creature to have a sound wave attack as a trump card!
Fortunately, Li Yunjing’s Divine Sense was strong enough, comparable to that of a Qi Cultivation Realm Great Perfection cultivator, so his brain only hurt slightly before recovering.
In the next instant, Li Yunjing saw the leopard-like puppet mechanism beast leap at him, its front limbs extending, claws about to reach his face.
With two sounds, a shield appeared in front of Li Yunjing, it was his Celestial Spirit Shield.
The shield flashed, emitting golden light, blocking the claws of the puppet mechanism beast.
Li Yunjing’s face darkened as he closely observed and used his Divine Sense to locate the core of the puppet mechanism beast, which was under its belly.
He had an idea, leading the puppet mechanism beast to leap at him again!
Taking this opportunity, Li Yunjing roared, using a half "Iron Bridge" move, he maneuvered under the belly of the puppet mechanism beast, tightly gripping the Soul-Slaying Sword with both hands, and stabbed forcefully. With a "swoosh", he created a gash in the belly of the puppet mechanism beast.
