Chapter 258

Chapter 258: Senior Sister, look, your husband hugged me!

Seeing the rapidly flowing river, Lord Yan Chun’s face grew increasingly grim.

“Damn it, these bandits have such a tactic, really underestimated them.”

There was only one way to enter the Mohist Sect’s Mechanical City.

It was the same waterway that the Six-fingered Black Man had used before, the very river in front of them.

This is one reason why the Mohist Sect was known as impregnable.

The Mechanical City is not only filled with mechanisms, but even the paths into the city are fraught with danger.

The river is full of hidden reefs, any larger boat passing through would hit the reefs and sink.

Only small skiffs could float over it.

And therein lies the problem.

Each skiff can only carry five or six people at most, and the boats can’t gain momentum on the water surface.

Trying to use this to break through the Mechanical City’s solid gates is nothing but a pipe dream.

“The Mohist Sect’s Mechanical City is upstream, now that they’ve opened the internal gates to divert the water down, the river is fast and the skiffs can’t reach the Mechanical City without being swept away.”

Zhang Han, although not as capable as Wang Jian, Wang Ben, or Meng Tian, is still not a mediocre general.

Seeing hundreds of rafts sent by Lord Yan Chun being swept back, he immediately saw through the mystery.

Lord Yan Chun scratched his big belly and cursed, “These Mohist Sect people really are like turtles, hiding in the water and refusing to come out, what should we do?”

They couldn’t even approach the Mechanical City, let alone break in.

Just then, a purple figure suddenly flashed past everyone.

In the blink of an eye, she landed on an empty raft.

“Junior Sister, come back!”

Fei Yan saw that it was Moon Goddess and immediately frowned and shouted.

Moon Goddess, however, ignored her reprimand.

The “Dragon’s Travel” aura emanated from her, and without any movement, the raft under her feet seemed as if it had an engine and swiftly floated towards the Mechanical City.

Moon Goddess glanced at the anxious Fei Yan on the shore with the corner of her eye.

Hm, Senior Sister, don’t compete with me for this chance to shine.

Everyone is at a loss now, if I can break through the Mechanical City at this moment, the National Advisor will definitely look at me with new eyes.

“Ah, with the personal intervention of the Moon Goddess from the Yin-Yang School, the Mechanical City is sure to fall!”

Lord Yan Chun cheered on the shore.

In no time, Moon Goddess was approaching the Mechanical City.

She stood gracefully on a raft that rowed itself, a woman with a light veil over her eyes.

Her clothes fluttered, exuding a celestial aura.

She looked like a heavenly fairy descending to the mortal world, commanding respect and admiration.

Thousands of eyes on the shore were fixed on her, and Moon Goddess’ vanity was instantly satisfied.

If she could break through the Mechanical City, that man would definitely see her in a new light.

Senior Sister, since your husband values you so much.

If I don’t put in some effort, how will I catch his eye?

Hehehe,

Fei Yan looked at the Moon Goddess on the raft, her expression alternating between gloom and clarity.

“What’s wrong, honey?”

Li Mo sensed something and asked softly.

Fei Yan shook her head and sighed lightly, “Junior Sister is too impulsive. If it were that easy to break in, would I be here guarding it for so long?”

“The Mechanical City gate is filled with mechanisms, there’s no place to gain leverage or hide in the water, Junior Sister is likely walking into danger.”

It turned out that she wasn’t worried about Moon Goddess stealing her thunder in front of Li Mo.

Instead, she had already ventured into this Mechanical City a few times.

Even she was forced to turn back, let alone Moon Goddess, whose strength was inferior to hers.

Fei Yan was also puzzled in her heart.

Her junior sister had always been calm and indifferent in temperament, doing things in a composed and orderly manner.

Why was she so impulsive this time?

Soon, Moon Goddess reached the front of the Mechanical City.

The gate of the Mohist Sect’s Mechanical City was made from a complete giant stone, embedded precisely between two canyons.

It looked like it weighed at least ten thousand pounds.

No one knew how the Mohist Sect’s ancestors managed to transport this giant stone here.

The most inconceivable part was that a large, square hole was carved right in the center of the stone.

An additional stone block that could move up and down served as the sluice gate.

Even this door panel wasn’t something an ordinary person could move.

To open the gate, besides using the switches inside, it would require a substantial amount of manpower to lift it.

Obviously, in this water with no leverage points, the second method was entirely impractical.

Moon Goddess looked up at the giant stone before her and quickly came to a conclusion.

As long as she could leap over this gate, she would be able to activate the switch from the inside.

Once she made up her mind, she soared into the air.

But just then, a mechanical sound emanated from the gate beneath her feet.

Moon Goddess’s face changed slightly, and looking down, she broke out in a cold sweat.

On the smooth giant stone, several rows of hand-width cracks had somehow appeared.

Sharp arrowheads, like venomous snakes hidden in the stone seams, were now aimed at her.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh

In an instant, hundreds of arrows shot towards her like a rainstorm.

Hovering in the air, Moon Goddess’s jade hands moved swiftly.

She formed a set of hand seals with unparalleled speed.

Several layers of blue barriers enveloped her entire body.

The arrows hit the barriers simultaneously, making a series of crisp clinks.

Just after blocking a wave of arrows, Moon Goddess had no time to catch her breath.

Another mechanical sound came from the giant stone.

Several wrist-thick iron spears shot out from the stone seams.

Whoosh!

The spears launched simultaneously, emitting a piercing sound as they aimed directly at the barrier before Moon Goddess.

With a cracking sound, the barrier was instantly shattered.

The spears, carrying tremendous force, continued to thrust towards Moon Goddess’s delicate body.

Boom!

At this critical moment, a powerful surge of air burst from Moon Goddess’s body.

The “Dragon’s Qi” burst forth, colliding head-on with the spears.

The spears were instantly repelled!

But immediately after, another batch of arrows emerged from the stone seams.

At this moment, Moon Goddess could hardly hold back her tears.

Would this ever end?

Floating in the air, she had no way to dodge and could only brace herself against the attack.

But the mechanism’s onslaught was wave after wave, leaving her with no time to gather her strength.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh

The relentless mechanism triggered once more, sending a dense barrage of arrows her way.

Moon Goddess’s pretty face instantly turned pale, and she forcefully cHaneled the “Dragon’s Qi” within her, her movements becoming increasingly awkward.

After barely fending off this wave of arrows, she dared not be overconfident any longer.

Her figure shifted and she began to descend.

But the mechanisms at the gate of the Mechanical City, refined over generations by the Mohist Sect, were endlessly intricate and varied.

Before Moon Goddess could reach the raft below, a long-spiked wooden board suddenly rose from the water, striking towards her face!

At the same time, two guillotine blades sprang from the giant stone gate behind, slashing down at her waist.

Facing attacks from both front and back, Moon Goddess could no longer remain calm.

She unleashed two bursts of Dragon’s Qi, repelling the guillotine blades, but it was too late to deal with the spiked wooden board.

“Damn it!”

Moon Goddess’s eyebrows furrowed in anger as she let out a resentful cry.

She hadn’t even had a chance to flaunt her superiority over her senior sister; was she really going to meet her end here?

Boom!

At that critical moment, a sudden bolt of lightning descended from the sky!

The wooden board, along with its spikes, was shattered!

A cold figure emerged from the shattered wooden board!

Moon Goddess’s delicate heart trembled, her beautiful moon-like eyes widening in surprise.

At this moment, she swore.

She must snatch this man from her senior sister’s hands!

“Let’s go!”

Li Mo noticed that Moon Goddess didn’t leave despite having such a good opportunity but stood there in a daze, and immediately frowned and shouted.

Moon Goddess then came back to her senses, her cheeks involuntarily blushing.

She had actually been lost in thought!

But with this hesitation, the endless mechanism of the stone door was activated again.

The grinding sound that made Moon Goddess grit her teeth sounded once more.

“What are you looking at!”

She turned around wanting to check, but Li Mo scolded her.

Moon Goddess was dumbfounded!

All her life, no one had ever scolded her like this.

Li Mo even wanted to give her a slap.

With such a good opportunity to leave, she still had the mind to look back?

But now was not the time to argue about this.

He could only activate the Qi within his body, increasing his speed and rushing towards Moon Goddess.

His strong left arm wrapped around Moon Goddess’ soft waist like an iron hoop, and his right hand slapped out, causing the huge door to rumble.

The internal gears shook, making the arrows slow down for a brief moment.

Moon Goddess only felt her breath catch, almost having her waist broken!

By the time she reacted, her long legs were already resting on a strong arm.

She was being carried horizontally and retreating!
