Journey to the End of the Night
Chapter 116 - 116 116 New Mecha Doll

116: Chapter 116: New Mecha Doll 116: Chapter 116: New Mecha Doll Baili An picked up the refined xuanjin cold iron from the ground and pieced it together into the shape of a humanoid mecha.

He then placed the blue spirit stone into the chest cavity of the mecha and finally sealed it with an iron plate.

Thus, a simple mechanical puppet was freshly made.

He bowed his head, busily fidgeting with the object in his hands, his pale side face looked lonely yet calm, he slowly said, “Real evil lies not in the weapon in hand, but in the human heart.”

Puppetry Technique, originating from the Demon Sect, was considered a violation of the Heavenly Dao by the common folk because it was cruelly used on living people.

Using knowledge for practical purposes, Baili An believed he was guiltless as he used this technique to protect the mortals in the mountains and fulfill his duties; thus, he was not worried about the two scenarios mentioned by Fang Geyu.

This statement seemed to spark Fang Geyu’s interest; she narrowed her eyes and jumped down from the swing.

With her hands behind her back, she crouched next to Baili An and stuffed another mechanical puppet’s chest with a red, fire-attribute spirit stone.

She propped her chin with one hand, her gaze becoming incredibly distant, “It makes sense.

Although people from the Demon Sect have killed countless, those self-proclaimed righteous gentlemen are not necessarily cleaner.

Some appear squeaky clean, but behind the scenes, they’re nothing but beasts that devour human flesh and gnaw on souls.”

“Cough cough…” If it weren’t for Fang Geyu’s tone being too plain, without any trace of mockery, Baili An would have almost suspected she was speaking in veiled criticism.

After all…

just yesterday, he had drunk a bowl of Sister Lin Yuan’s fresh blood.

Baili An picked up two spirit stones again and was about to continue working when he heard a crisp snap; Fang Geyu, frowning, unceremoniously slapped the back of Lin Guiyuan’s hand, who was busily working.

Lin Guiyuan usually behaved amiably towards people.

But for some reason, he found it particularly hard to tolerate this Miss Fang.

At once, his brows furled unhappily, about to burst into anger, but then he heard Fang Geyu say even more unpleasantly:

“Enough, enough!

Clumsy and unreliable.

Since you were young, you’ve been unreliable.

With the way you slice it, you’re wasting perfectly good xuanjin cold iron.”

Fang Geyu, looking impatient, pushed Lin Guiyuan away.

Even though Lin Guiyuan’s face was unhappy, his dark gray eyes appeared even colder.

Yet, he could easily be pushed away by a young lady whose cultivation was merely at the Seeking Tao Realm.

The tenderness in it was naturally self-evident.

He looked somewhat aggrieved as he shrank back, evoking a sigh from Jin Sheng.

Fang Geyu picked up a small piece of scrap from the messy pile of iron and waved it in front of Baili An.

“Real Mechanical Technique isn’t about drawing runes or chopping iron.

Your iron’s power is indeed strong, but it also has many flaws.

Look at the joint areas of its limbs—they represent critical weaknesses.

With such simple connections, the whole mecha is clumsy and heavy.

A simple motion of lifting an arm or turning its head is extremely difficult.

Against any agile demons, it might not protect anything.”

Speaking, Fang Geyu took out a finely crafted small file from her Qiankun Bag.

Her fingers skillfully danced, the handle of the file inset with a moment’s vivid blue gemstone, filled with dense spiritual power, and the blade edge like a shadow.

With a few swift motions, like carving wood, metal shavings flew everywhere.

Soon, a delicate and complex metal bearing appeared in the palm of her hand.

She then picked up a few larger metal pieces and, with simple banging and carving, crafted an exquisite humanoid structure mecha that appeared before everyone.

Combined and jointed with just a few clicks of the mechanism locking into place.

The limbs and head were securely joined together, and in terms of appearance, it was countless times more exquisite than the two mechas Baili An had made.

Baili An gazed in awe at the mechanical puppet in front of him, even the proportions between the palms and fingers were extremely clear; the fingers looked lifelike.

He hurriedly drew runes on another spirit stone and placed it inside its chest cavity, and was amazed to find that even the structure inside the mechanical puppet’s chest for placing the spirit stone was a linked design, layer upon layer, which could protect the core part perfectly.

As the spirit stone was placed inside, light dispersed magically along the steel-colored mecha’s limbs and torso and then filled its whole body.

The spiritual power within the spirit stone flowed very smoothly throughout every corner of the xuanjin cold iron.

Baili An then realized that the seemingly inconspicuous bearings Fang Geyu had just made had an incredibly miraculous connecting effect.

With just a few cuts, it was ingeniously accomplished.

Looking at the mechanical puppet with nimble fingers in motion, Baili An thought that if it were paired with the weapons from the Divine Mansion, it would indeed be immensely powerful.

Jin Sheng was stunned; he hadn’t expected that this mistress who relied solely on brute force and unreasonableness would have such a skill.

Indeed, worthy of being a person from Shifang City; just this skill in mechanical technique should be enough to outshine the world.

He couldn’t help but rise to a bold idea, his eyes shifting as he said, “Why don’t we try out their power?”

Baili An was intrigued and wanted to test out the power of his rune-enchanted spirit stone combined with Fang Geyu’s mechanical technique to see just how strong it could be.

Without hesitation, he ordered the two mechas, one with fire attribute and the other with cold attribute, to face the exquisitely made new mecha.

The new mecha’s chest was embedded with an Earth Attribute spirit stone, primarily for defense.

In a real battle, it certainly couldn’t match the strength and directness of the spirit stones of fire and ice attributes.

The three mechas started fighting two against one, quickly entangling in combat.

The one with fire, employing the absolute defensive power of xuanjin and the strong attack power of the spirit stone runes, launched a huge fireball with a diameter of about ten meters, overflowing with terrifying high temperatures.

The other mecha threw a punch, the frost chilling the surroundings, with a frightening crackling sound freezing everything within ten miles.

Strong and direct!

Without any frills.

As for the third mechanical puppet, its pupils flashed darkly, bursting forth with extremely fast speed and agile movements, like a sprinting monkey, a blur appeared and suddenly it was behind the two clumsy mechas.

Despite its originally clumsy and heavy body, it defied gravity and momentous force, leaping high, its posture hardly distinguishable from that of a human.

Human-like palms instantly condensed two sharp, exceedingly long earth thorn spears, and as it emitted the sound of steel compressing and exploding, those two earthy yellow long spears with a bang!

Directly penetrated the massive heads of the two clumsy mechas, pinning their large bodies to the ground, rendering them unable to rise.

“This…” Baili An was shocked, he looked deeply at Fang Geyu and couldn’t help but applaud, “The Mechanical Technique of Shifang City is truly extraordinary.”

Jin Sheng looked at the formidable standing mechanical puppet with eyes as if discovering new treasures, his gaze so fiery it almost threw sparks.

But Lin Guiyuan was the most disheartened, his head drooping as he looked at his own rigid and cold palms.
