Zhang Qinghu went to Shaoguang City specifically to find something.
Later, he even planned to establish an orthodoxy in Shaoguang City.
But before the orthodoxy was established, something unexpected happened.
So that the matter became nothing.
Judging from the mirage memories excavated at the time, the incident was actually a battle.
The battle was so fierce that even the best magic weapon, the Moonlight Disc, was shattered to pieces.
Even if Zhang Qinghu didn't die at the time, he probably wouldn't live long afterward.
But now, Zhang Qinghu, who has become a mage, says that he is being hunted.
For a moment, Su Mo thought of his death.
Dang even couldn't help but ask:
"Dare I ask who is chasing the leader?"
Zhang Qinghu glanced at him, shook his head and said:
"This is not something you should be concerned about."
Hearing this, Zhang Rulong looked anxious:
"What the Taoist said is wrong.
Although the strength of a few of us is far inferior to yours.
But maybe having more people can play a role.
If we know your problem, maybe we can help. "
Zhang Qinghu smiled slightly after hearing this:
"I understand your intentions, but I brought this matter upon myself, so I will naturally resolve it myself.
Moreover, your strength may be considered good among the same level, but it is far from enough for the battle in the mage realm.
To get involved casually is to die in vain.
Why waste your good life here? "
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel dumb for a while.
Everyone, including Zhang Rulong, remained silent and did not refute.
But at this moment, Su Mo suddenly said:
"Daozhang Zhang, I really want to see the power of the mage realm. May I ask you for advice?"
Seeing Su Mo who took the initiative to ask for advice, Zhang Rulong and others showed surprise on their faces.
Zhang Qinghu was also slightly surprised, then seemed to think of something and replied with a smile:
"In that case, let's just do two random moves."
Su Mo agreed immediately.
The two did not specifically choose a fighting location, but directly competed at the scene.
Zhang Qinghu looked at Su Mo opposite him, with a faint smile on his face, and pointed out casually.
That finger looks ordinary, just like a nearby friend casually clicking on it, but it gives people a sense of inescapability.
Even Zhang Rulong couldn't avoid this finger even if he asked himself.
And this finger seems to have no lethality, but what if it is replaced by a sword or even a spiritual arrow?
The onlookers couldn't help but feel extremely frightened, and felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness towards the superior mage.
However, when this finger fell into Su Mo's hand, he blocked it directly.
He didn't even move his body.
Zhang Qinghu's eyes revealed a strange color.
The speed of waving his fingers increased again, and Su Mo also followed.
The two of them just exchanged moves, their speed increased crazily, and in the blink of an eye they turned into phantoms, as if they had countless arms, and the people around them couldn't even see their movements clearly.
Three seconds later, Su Mo suddenly took a step back and said:
"Daozhang Zhang is extremely powerful, I am ashamed of myself."
"you……"
Zhang Qinghu looked surprised and uncertain. After thinking for a while, he changed his message and said:
"Are you a secret warrior?"
Su Mo smiled and nodded.
Zhang Qinghu's expression became more solemn and he said in a solemn voice:
"I'm sorry for my blindness, but I couldn't see your strength."
Su Mo smiled and said nothing.
It's all a fantasy land, you'll see a ghost when you see it.
This body itself is only a level 4.
In the previous fight, by the end, Zhang Qinghu had already demonstrated the physical fitness of a mage.
Under such circumstances, Su Mo was still able to catch it easily, using about one-fiftieth of the strength.
But one cannot judge the strength of a mage by relying solely on physical fitness. After all, mages are better at magic.
All kinds of strange and changeable spells are their trump card.
Originally, Su Mo also wanted to test the power of the mage's magic.
It's a pity that the upper limit of this fantasy realm is comparable to that of the mage realm.
Once he explodes beyond the upper limit of power, this illusion will be destroyed immediately.
So he decisively stopped and took a step back.
Su Mo looked at Zhang Qinghu, smiled slightly and said:
"Now that Daozhang Zhang has determined my strength, can you tell me who your enemy is? Maybe I can really help."
Seeing that Zhang Qinghu was still hesitant, Su Mo continued:
"Of course, you don't have to worry about not being able to pay me. Brother Rulong and I hit it off instantly. We have been killing demons and demons together for so many days, and I admire his character very much.
As long as Taoist Zhang is willing to accept him as his disciple and fulfill his wish, it will be my reward. "
Nangong Yuanxiao and others couldn't help being slightly stunned when they heard this.
Zhang Rulong's face was full of gratitude.
Zhang Qinghu was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said:
"Forget it, that's it. As long as you help me kill that monster, what's the problem with me accepting a disciple?"
Seeing that Zhang Qinghu agreed, Zhang Rulong was overjoyed and thanked the two of them repeatedly.
Then, based on Zhang Qinghu's narration, everyone learned about the enemy who was chasing him.
"It's actually two puppets?"
Su Mo's face was a bit strange:
"Taoist Master, you are now a strong man in the mage realm. What kind of puppet can't even be defeated by you and can only flee all the way?"
Zhang Rulong sighed and said with a wry smile:
“Although the mage realm is strong, it is only relative to this age of declining spiritual energy.
As early as thousands of years ago in the heyday of spiritual practice, mage was far from being a strong person.
However, those great powers in myths and legends have long since disappeared and have not appeared for a long time.
Only some remnants left in the world occasionally remind us that they once existed.
Just like the mage-level puppet encountered this time, this was the case. "
Zhang Rulong paused and then continued:
“Not long ago, I accidentally discovered an ancient cave in an ancient battlefield.
In that cave, I not only discovered the cultivation techniques of the mage realm, but also obtained a high-grade magic weapon.
However, there are unknown restrictions on that technique. Once the practitioner is not a disciple of his sect, the restrictions will be triggered immediately.
Since ancient times, the Dharma cannot be passed down lightly. In ancient times, sects and master-disciple inheritance were valued more.
In order to prevent the inheritance from being leaked and taken away by outsiders, the senior experts have devised various countermeasures.
One of them is the tracking restriction. Once you practice the technique, you will be branded and will not stop until death. "
"Originally, I thought that the Ten Thousand Weapons Sect had long since disappeared in the long river of history, and was just a piece of exercise left behind. Even if I learned it, there wouldn't be any problem. After all, they can no longer send people to look for me.
But who would have thought that they would actually leave behind other back-ups, who were combat puppets with only basic intelligence.
Combat puppets can generally only be made by experienced weapon refiners. The more sophisticated, intelligent, and powerful they are, the more difficult they are to refine.
But this time, there were actually two mage-level battle puppets chasing me.
They sensed that there were outsiders practicing the sect's magic, revived on their own, and started to hunt them down.
If there is only one, that's it. I can barely deal with it, and even kill it with help from the outside world.
But if there are two of them, they can only run away like this.
This is why I prevent you from hanging out with me.
That puppet doesn't care if it hurts innocent people. Once it is implicated in the battle, its death will really be in vain. "
After hearing what Zhang Qinghu said, everyone couldn't help but marvel.
Such things as battle puppets were simply unheard of.
Not to mention a battle puppet in the mage realm.
If such a thing appeared in real society, it would probably wipe out most of the cultivation world.
Now, not to mention Su Mo, even Nangong Yuanxiao and others were very excited to have the opportunity to witness such treasures with their own eyes.
Only Zhang Rulong, with a heavy look of worry on his face, asked:
"Although they are just puppets, they are still at the mage level after all. They may undergo unpredictable changes during battles. Is there a way to directly paralyze them and avoid fighting?"
Zhang Qinghu listened and said helplessly:
"I have tried many methods, but nothing works. Water, fire, and even electric shock are all unaffected.
This is not only because the puppet's refining method is extremely exquisite, but also obviously related to its own special material.
In addition, this puppet never sleeps, can replenish spiritual energy from the outside world to restore itself, and constantly track the enemy.
Even if I seem to have managed to get rid of it now, it won’t last long.
They should catch up in another hour at the latest. "
"It doesn't matter, with me as my help, we will definitely win it successfully this time!"
Su Mo said with confidence.
Zhang Qinghu said gratefully:
"Then there's brother Lao Su."
After figuring out the cause of the incident, Su Mo and Zhang Qinghu discussed it and decided to choose a wasteland outside the town as the place to fight.
At the same time, arrange some back-ups at the scene to avoid disadvantages in the battle and to escape from the scene.
An hour later.
A wasteland outside the town.
Su Mo squinted at the two tall figures rushing towards them in the distance.
They were nearly two meters tall, covered in pitch black, like giant dolls made of black iron.
The joints and even various parts of the body are all engraved with dense runes, and the movements are extremely flexible, as if they were real people.
After arriving, they rushed directly towards Zhang Qinghu without any hesitation.
Zhang Qinghu stepped forward decisively and started fighting with the two puppets.
The sound of the battle between the three mages was so huge that it could be said to shake the earth.
In just a few moments, the entire wasteland was shattered into pieces.
Su Mo had already expected Zhang Qinghu's performance.
After all, he is also a talented mage from thousands of years ago. Even if he temporarily steps into the mage realm, his strength is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary practitioners.
But those two mage puppets opened Su Mo's eyes.
Before this, he thought that even if this puppet had the strength of a mage, it would become very dull and sluggish during battle.
But judging from the situation at the scene, this is not the case at all. They are like killing machines with real sanity.
Not only does it know how to exploit its strengths and avoid its weaknesses, it also takes full advantage of its special material that cannot be broken or cut into pieces.
He also knows how to join forces to attack, and use tactics at the first glance to surround Wei and rescue Zhao.
The Wanqi Sect should not be underestimated.
Su Mo even had the illusion that this sect specialized in artificial intelligence.
"Brother Su, if you don't take action, I won't be able to hold on anymore!"
As the two combat puppets pressed closer and closer, Zhang Qinghu's pressure suddenly increased and he quickly shouted to his side.
"Don't worry, Taoist Master, I'll be here right away."
Su Mo was not idle just now. While observing the battle situation, he was also looking for the weaknesses of the two puppets.
And after careful mental observation, the weaknesses of these two puppets were indeed found.
Normally, there are three main weaknesses of a puppet.
One is physical weaknesses, such as joints, necks and other body connecting parts. Once severely injured, it will be difficult to move immediately.
The second is mental weakness, equivalent to the brain that controls their continued fighting.
As for the third type, it is the energy supply core. Human beings have Dantian, and the same is true for puppets.
At first, Su Mo planned to break their joints and try his best to maintain the integrity of the puppets to facilitate subsequent research.
As a result, after observation, he found that the joints of the puppet were unusually flexible and hard. Although he could break it open, the illusion would also collapse when it was broken.
Secondly, there is the spirit. The opponent's spiritual core is also refined. It is extremely complete and precise, like a work of art, and people cannot bear to destroy it on the spot.
Finally, there is the energy supply core. Su Mo originally thought that its energy supply core was also at the dantian, but after careful observation, he discovered that the opponent's energy supply core was always moving.
On the contrary, there is nothing to study about this energy supply core. It is just a device for gathering and outputting spiritual power. Its secrets are all in the runes around it.
Thinking of this, Su Mo quickly made a decision.
While the two puppets were facing him, one behind the other, Su Mo rushed forward like lightning and pointed out two fingers with both hands.
The power of these two fingers could only maintain the upper limit of this illusion, and they were pointing at a certain part of their bodies.
And at the moment of clicking, the core, which had been moving at high speed, bumped into it as if by chance.
The energy supply core was severely damaged, and the two flexible puppets suddenly stagnated.
He was like a doll with rusty joints, struggling in place and trying to take action, but his chaotic core could no longer supply energy smoothly.
Su Mo then clicked twice to completely destroy it.
Looking at the two puppets lying on the ground with their joints twitching, Zhang Qinghu was immediately overjoyed and said excitedly:
"Brother Su is very human. He destroyed two mage-level puppets so easily. I'm afraid ordinary mages are far from your match."
"The Taoist priest is so complimentary."
Su Mo frowned slightly and replied absently.
He walked up to the two puppets, his eyes slightly confused.
Just when the puppet was paralyzed, he suddenly felt a familiar aura from the puppet.
"Since there are two, it doesn't matter if one is dismantled."
He knelt down and pointed like a knife, inserting it into the puppet's dark eyes.
With a physique of up to 6,000 points, his body is comparable to a magic weapon, and he can easily penetrate eyes that are harder than diamond.
With a smooth stroke, half of the completely paralyzed puppet's head was immediately opened.
There was nothing in his head, just a spherical cloud-like object.
That is clearly the other party's spiritual core.
At this moment, the core was trembling violently, and the outermost layer of clouds and mist continued to dissipate, gradually revealing the true appearance inside.
Looking at the amber-like object that appeared in front of him, Su Mo's face showed an unprecedented look of shock:
"This...is this a little dream?!!"
