Bai Ye's body sank down, but Bai Ye endured!
After taking the automaton's attack, Bai Ye's steel wings behind him split apart immediately.
Twelve metal blades flew forward, piercing the automaton's front.
Then...
Bang, bang, bang...
The twelve blades continuously struck the automaton's chest, forcing its massive body to retreat repeatedly.
As the automaton retreated, Bai Ye's figure flashed, escaping from the automaton's giant palm, and then he punched forward.
"Phoenix!" Bai Ye grunted, "Phoenix Flame!"
The air suddenly became scorching hot.
Rolling heatwaves surged around, and the surrounding grass turned yellow from the intense heat.
Then...
Bai Ye punched out!
A giant pillar of fire shot forward, hitting the automaton's chest fiercely. The flames then continuously bloomed, engulfing the automaton.
Bai Ye clenched his hand and said, "Flame Burst!"
Rumble, rumble, rumble...
Explosions sounded one after another, continuously engulfing the automaton's body. Huge fireballs burst amid the explosions, instantly swallowing the automaton.
With a bang!
The giant automaton fell backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Bai Ye immediately reached out and formed a sword seal!
"Seven-Colored Sword Qi!"
Black bubbles surged from Bai Ye's body, then detached from his body and shot up into the sky, quickly condensing into the shape of flying swords.
Hum, hum...
Crisp sword chirps echoed through the heavens, and then seven sword energies slashed down from the sky.
Explosive roars erupted, and the surrounding ground cracked under the bombardment of the sword qi. Dust billowed up and swirled in the air.
Moments later, as the dust gradually dispersed, the automaton had been cut to pieces by the sword qi, rendering it completely inoperable.
Bai Ye's gaze passed over the automaton and looked forward. The blonde man had already disappeared.
However...
Bai Ye thought about it and found it unimportant. Whether to kill him or not was secondary. Bai Ye was too lazy to chase him, as long as he didn't hinder his mission.
Moreover, this commotion made Bai Ye even more convinced that the place where the light pillar appeared must be where the ancient giant was. Otherwise, why send someone to intercept him in this direction?
However, this also meant that this path would not be easy.
Thinking this, Bai Ye quickly ran past the wreckage of the automaton and headed towards where the light pillar had appeared.
As expected, not far ahead, at the next intersection, two giant automatons stood tall.
When Bai Ye approached within fifty meters, red light appeared in the eyes of the two automatons, and their massive bodies began to move.
Light Stream Energy Cannon!
Without hesitation, Bai Ye slid open the metal plate on his shoulder, and the Light Stream Energy Cannon rose up, quickly beginning to charge.
When the two automatons approached within twenty meters, the Light Stream Energy Cannon suddenly fired.
A golden beam of light shot forward, landing in the center of the two automatons, and then...
Rumble!
A deafening explosion occurred, and a huge fireball erupted between the two automatons.
The layered blast waves pushed them, causing the two automatons to stagger and almost fall to the side.
Bai Ye did not stop, continuing to advance. The Light Stream Energy Cannon charged again and fired immediately.
Rumble!
The sound of explosions echoed again. The two automatons didn't even have time to stabilize their bodies before they were blown away by the secondary explosions.
At the same time...
Bai Ye produced two talismans in his hands.
"Flying Stone Technique!"
As the talismans burned in Bai Ye's hands, the ground around the two automatons cracked. Then, pieces of rubble flew up, hovered in the air for a moment, and smashed down heavily.
Bang, bang, bang...
The rocks continuously bombarded them until the two automatons were smashed to pieces.
However, after smashing the two automatons, Bai Ye did not immediately move forward.
Too slow!
Bai Ye looked up at the location of the light pillar, at least two to three thousand meters away. If nothing unexpected happened, there would be automatons intercepting him all the way.
Moreover, there might be experts like the blonde man.
At the same time, although the mission had no time limit, such hidden missions were complex.
Just like in the Demon Country, the mission had no time limit, but in fact, the time Limru arrived was the time limit, which eliminated one-third of the chosen ones at once.
Therefore, Bai Ye felt it was uncertain whether there was a time limit this time.
"Then I can only cheat!" Bai Ye took a deep breath and said, "Supersonic Movement!"
The cooldown had long passed. With the sound of mechanical rotation from within the mecha, the thrusters ejected from Bai Ye's back, and blue flames spewed out. Bai Ye quickly turned into an afterimage and rushed forward.
Soon, two automatons reappeared, but as the red light lit up in the automatons' eyes, an afterimage suddenly darted through the gap between the two automatons.
By the time the two automatons had fully activated, Bai Ye was long gone.
A moment later, as Bai Ye sprinted across a patch of grass...
The ground suddenly trembled, and large cracks continuously appeared.
Bai Ye leaped up violently, stepping on the raised rocks and instantly crossing this area.
After Bai Ye left, an automaton crawled out of the cracked fissures and looked around in confusion.
No target!
Bai Ye broke through the defense line at the fastest speed, before the automatons could intercept him!
Then...
Bai Ye saw an altar.
The altar was trapezoidal, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, covered with moss and various vines. In the center was a white staircase leading to the top of the altar.
The dazzling pillar of light originated from the top of the altar.
Bai Ye immediately ran upward. When he reached the middle of the stairs, Bai Ye paused slightly.
There were traces of battle in that area. Swords without handles were stuck in the ground all around, and amidst the scattered swords lay a man with obvious battle wounds.
"Kai-Daddy?" Bai Ye quickly stepped forward, helping Kai up and said, "Who could injure you like this?"
Kai slowly opened his eyes, then suddenly grabbed Bai Ye's shoulder and said, "Don't worry about me, go and stop them. They're going to activate the ancient automaton giant."
Bai Ye looked up at the light pillar above, seemingly he had found the right place.
At this time, Kai pushed Bai Ye, urging, "Go quickly!"
Bai Ye nodded, released Kai, and said, "Take care of yourself!"
