Chapter 967: Chapter 0967: Ambush on the Way

On the altar, the joints of the Wooden Mechanism Beast creaked and crackled as if beans were being fried in a copper pot; its entire body seemed to burst apart.

Zhou Heizi laughed proudly, "Miss Nangong of the Nangong Family, only a wooden Mechanical Beast can achieve the greatest efficacy. Moreover, it must be made of this kind of enspirited Spiritual Wood. The Mystic Patterns carved on it are like human meridians, much more spiritual than your steel."

"Don’t get cocky so soon!"

Nangong Jingjing gave him a dismissive look, her eyes fixed on the Mechanical Ape with disdain.

Apart from herself, she looked down on everyone.

The Mechanical Ape exerted thousands of pounds of force, just like the Steel Armor Nangong Jingjing had worn, making the bluestones on the ground crack, leaving a groove several centimeters deep.

The altar built of marble was as dense as steel.

One could imagine how heavy the Copper Cauldron was.

After half a day of trying, sudden cracks appeared in the wood grain on the Mechanical Ape’s body, yet the Copper Cauldron remained unmoved.

Nangong Jingjing laughed loudly, "Zhou Heizi, you better pack up that thing! If you keep pushing, it will shatter."

Zhou Heizi’s face turned red as he saw that he had spoken big words. He couldn’t give up without making a last effort and losing face among his peers.

Today, if he could lift this Copper Cauldron, he, Zhou Heizi, would be the top successor of the Mo Family.

With a wave of the Yellow Flag in his hand, the Mechanical Ape’s entire body vibrated intensely, exerting all its strength.

Its head tilted back, and its entire body fell backward like tearing out a scallion.

With a bang, the Copper Cauldron still did not move.

But the Mechanical Ape suddenly fell apart, its parts clanging to the ground all around.

Everyone at the scene was stunned, not expecting the Copper Cauldron to be so heavy.

The strange thing was that it wasn’t very large, about the height of a person.

Based on usual experience, it should weigh at most a few hundred pounds.

But just now, the Mechanical Ape had exerted a force of more than two thousand pounds.

Zhou Heizi wailed in pain, "Ancestors, my Mechanical Ape!"

Nangong Jingjing mocked from the side, "See, I warned you and you didn’t listen. Regretting now, huh? Can’t do it is can’t do it, why fake it?"

Her sharp tongue made the peers around uncomfortable and they criticized, "Nangong Jingjing, aren’t you a bit too heartless?"

"Why do you speak so harshly?"

"What has Brother Zhou done to deserve this from you?"

Nangong Jingjing sneered, "A bunch of rats, What if I belittle him?"

She reached into her Qiankun Bag and pulled out a Yellow Flag, shouting at Zhou Heizi, "You have a Mechanical Ape, do we the Nangong Family not have one?"

With a wave of her hand, a Mechanical Beast that resembled a tiger leaped out of the bag.

This creature was taller than a person and as large as a yellow ox.

It opened its huge mouth at the crowd, its teeth sharp like dagger blades.

"Is this the Mechanism White Tiger Beast?"

"Could it be one of the legendary four Divine Mechanical Beasts left by the ancestor?"

"Exactly, the Nangong Family has succeeded in inheriting this White Tiger Beast."

The tomb raiders gasped in fear, stepping back one by one.

Nangong Jingjing snorted coldly, "Well, anyone else have objections?"

The crowd coughed awkwardly, some shaking their heads, others shutting up, even Zhou Heizi lowered his head.

Nangong Jingjing said, "Look, I told you you’re a bunch of rats, didn’t I? Truly spineless, not manly at all. Let me tell you, these Copper Cauldrons now belong to the Nangong Family. Whoever dares to contend is an enemy of mine."

The people exchanged glances, unwilling to stir any trouble.

These items were too heavy; the Nangong Family couldn’t take them away anyway.

Old Man Nangong touched the Copper Cauldron, lamenting, "Such a fine object, must we really blow it up to take it away?"

Long Fei frowned as he listened from above. He had initially felt some fondness towards the old man for stopping the tomb raiders from damaging the Copper Cauldron.

But now, he too was considering blowing it up.

Wang Xiaoya stared disapprovingly at Nangong Jingjing, "I don’t like this woman."

Long Fei patted her head and smiled, "Neither do I."

Just as Nangong Jingjing was basking in her smugness, Zhou Heizi suddenly stood up and shouted at her, "Your Nangong Family is really enough, pretending to be righteous and benevolent, but in the end, you still want to blow up these Copper Cauldrons?"

Nangong Jingjing sneered, "So what if we do?"

Zhou Heizi rolled up the Yellow Flag, and from his Qiankun Bag, he summoned a Mechanism Water Buffalo Beast with steel horns on its head.

This creature was even larger than the Tiger Beast.

Fortunately, the altar was big enough, about the size of two basketball courts. Otherwise, it really wouldn’t have been able to fit these two Mechanical Beasts.

He stared at Nangong Jingjing and said formally, "Let’s have a match today and see who truly is the descendant of the Mo Family."

Nangong Jingjing laughed disdainfully, "Zhou Heizi, you’re ridiculous. You think this weird water buffalo you cobbled together can compare to the Mechanism White Tiger Beast left by our ancestor?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Let’s fight it out and then talk."

Zhou Heizi, humiliated by her, went all out this time.

"You’re overestimating yourself."

Nangong Jingjing disdainfully waved the Apricot Yellow Flag, and the Mechanism White Tiger Beast in front of her suddenly sprung forward.

The Mechanism Water Buffalo was clearly much slower. In front of the ancient Mechanism White Tiger, it looked like a cheap knock-off.

The bystanders, disliking Nangong Jingjing’s arrogance, started cheering for Zhou Heizi, "Charge!"

"Crush that tiger!"

"Smash it to bits!"

However, contrary to their wishes, as it charged toward the Mechanism White Tiger Beast with its horns,

the Tiger Beast opened its ferocious jaws and leapt onto its back before they even touched.

With a crunch, the bite force was astonishing; it tore off a chunk from the Mechanism Water Buffalo’s back just by biting.

The wooden structure of the water buffalo broke crisply in its mouth, as if it were tofu in front of the Mechanism White Tiger.

In less than thirty rounds, the Mechanism Water Buffalo was torn apart.

Zhou Heizi, holding his flag, stood dumbfounded.

Nangong Jingjing stared at him and sneered, "Zhou Heizi, you’ve always wanted to challenge our Nangong Family. Today is your day to die."

She didn’t stop, instead, she waved the Yellow Flag and directed the Mechanism White Tiger to pounce and bite Zhou Heizi.

The surrounding crowd yelled in fear and scrambled out of the way.

Old Man Nangong didn’t intervene, instead, he coldly watched everything from behind.

Zhou Heizi, terrified out of his wits, fell backward.

Suddenly, a loud shout rang beside his ear, "Stop harming him!"

From above the cave, a figure suddenly appeared, stepping on the airborne Mechanism White Tiger and plummetting down.

This ferocious Mechanism White Tiger Beast, under his foot, seemed as docile as a kitten.

Landing on the altar, it shook violently.

With a thud, the Mechanism White Tiger Beast shattered into pieces, kicking up a cloud of dust on the altar.

The people around, stunned, stared blankly at the sight.

This Mechanism White Tiger Beast, left by the ancestor, had, in fact, broken apart.

On the ground, a pile of wooden debris was scattered everywhere, with a shiny Spirit Stone among the fragments.

Atop the remnants, a young man stood energetically.

He stared at Nangong Jingjing, the corner of his mouth curving, and laughed coldly, "Miss Nangong, competing is fine, but hurting people isn’t too good, is it?"
