Zheng Long and the other two were finding their space increasingly constricted. They had been cornered by nine enemy Royal-level cultivators at a breach in the city wall.
At this moment, the nine enemy Royal-level cultivators all revealed killing intent that seemed to emanate from their very bodies, chilling Zheng Long and his companions to the bone.
From a distance, the late-stage Royal-level elder’s eyes flashed, and his body vanished from its spot.
"Boom!" Instantly, the elder unleashed a terrifying aura. The long sword in his hand was blindingly bright, and a beam of sword light shot directly at Zheng Long and the other two.
Concurrently, the nine Royal-level cultivators surrounding them also attacked in unison. The nine combined their forces to assault a single target.
As Zheng Long and the other two seemed on the brink of death, about to perish in the next second.
"Attack!!!"
Suddenly, ten colossal figures burst from the ground. They were the ten Dragon God Mechas. Each unleashed a torrent of flames toward the enemy Royal-level cultivators, while Zheng Long and his companions simultaneously launched a fierce assault.
"Kill!!!" Zheng Long and the other two roared, their eyes filled with hatred.
"What are those things?" The nine enemy Royal-level cultivators were inwardly shocked to see the suddenly appearing Dragon God Mechas.
The beastly imperial aura emanating from the Dragon God Mechas confused them, but the terrifying internal energy fluctuations made them wary.
Even the late-stage Royal-level elder, who had been preparing to strike, instinctively halted.
The three-meter-tall Dragon God Mechas, with their terrifying appearance, stunned them all. Were they humanoid demonic beasts?!
But in the brief moment of their bewilderment, the ten Dragon God Mechas had already ascended into the sky, unleashing various attacks: flames, lightning, lasers. They even wielded metal sabers over two meters long in their hands.
"Kill!!!" Roars erupted. The ten mechas unleashed their strongest attacks right from the moment they entered the fray.
"Boom boom boom!!!" The sky was instantly filled with flashing lights of all kinds, accompanied by cries of agony.
The enemy Royal-level cultivators were caught off guard by this spectacle. One Royal-level cultivator was hit by a laser and then had his body severed by the sharp sabers of two mechas, dying on the spot.
Another Royal-level cultivator was engulfed by three fire dragons, only to have his body pierced by a single punch from a mecha.
Still another was besieged by four mechas, and after a brief resistance, was torn to pieces.
Zheng Long and his companions also seized this opportunity, combining their strength to slay an enemy Royal-level cultivator.
Four enemy Royal-level cultivators perished on the spot, three of them early-stage and one mid-stage.
The ten Dragon God Mechas hovered in the air, each emitting a mechanical roar. In the dark night sky, they appeared terrifying and menacing.
They declared through the demise of four Royal-level cultivators that the Dragon God Mechas had officially entered the battlefield, signifying that the Dragon God Mechas, researched by Da Qin with full effort, possessed not only the strength to contend with Royal-level cultivators but also the power to slay them.
"Retreat!!!" someone shouted, their face filled with shock. The surviving Royal-level martial artists among the enemy forces began to withdraw, their eyes filled with apprehension and fear as they looked at the ten Dragon God Mechas.
The late-stage Royal-level elder quickly regrouped with his men, his face terrifyingly cold. In just a single exchange, four of their Royal-level cultivators had fallen!
At the same time, he felt a sense of gravity. The appearance of the Dragon God Mechas filled him with apprehension. Each one exuded an aura of an early-stage Royal-level cultivator, which shocked him. With Da Qin’s resources, how could such a terrifying entity exist?
Were these puppets refined by Da Qin? the elder mused inwardly. He had calmed down, for after sensing the aura emitted by the Dragon God Mechas, he understood that even with ten additional early-stage Royal-level cultivators, they would still not be a match for his side.
However, what angered him was the fall of four Royal-level cultivators, one of whom belonged to his own sect. This caused him heartache.
On the opposing side, the ten Dragon God Mechas and Zheng Long and his companions hovered in the air. A sense of exhilaration flashed through their minds, especially for the pilots of the Dragon God Mechas, who were filled with excitement. With the strength of a mid-stage King-level cultivator, they had actually killed Royal-level powerhouses. In the past, they would never have dared to imagine such a feat.
"Heh, ancient Royal-level powerhouses, nothing more than this!"
Zheng Long sneered, his expression filled with mockery.
"Hmph! Mere refined metal puppets, only possessing early-stage Royal-level strength. Do you think this meager trump card can change the tide of tonight's battle?"
The elder snorted coldly, believing he had accurately identified the identity of the Dragon God Mechas. At the same time, the other enemy Royal-level martial artists present felt a sense of relief upon hearing this, but instantly, their hearts were filled with anger.
They had been suddenly ambushed by a group of puppets, which had indeed frightened them considerably. However, upon realizing that their opponents were only early-stage Royal-level cultivators, their hearts were filled with rage and humiliation.
With their side having mid-stage and late-stage Royal-level powerhouses, four of their Royal-level cultivators had fallen to mere puppets. This fact was simply unbearable for them.
"Kill!!!" However, Zheng Long and the others had no intention of delaying. They launched the offensive themselves, as they all knew that the operating time of the Dragon God Mechas was limited.
"Kill them all! Use your full strength, leave none alive! After conquering Zheng City, we shall slaughter the populace for four days to commemorate our fallen comrades!"
The late-stage Royal-level elder snorted coldly. This time, he also moved, charging directly towards a Dragon God Mecha.
Boom boom boom!!! In the sky, dozens of figures instantly engaged in combat. Five Dragon God Mechas jointly besieged the late-stage Royal-level elder.
The remaining mechas, along with Zheng Long and his companions, engaged the other enemy Royal-level cultivators.
The Dragon God Mechas fully displayed their prowess as instruments of war at this moment. Their methods were endless: flames, projectile weapons, and melee weapons, dazzling the enemy and catching them off guard.
What further infuriated the enemy Royal-level martial artists was that these metal puppets, in their eyes, possessed speed and attack power comparable to the full might of an ordinary early-stage Royal-level cultivator.
Moreover, their defensive capabilities were beyond imagination; ordinary attacks were incapable of harming these metal puppets.
This shocked them and further incensed them.
"Ah!!!" A scream rang out. An enemy Royal-level martial artist had an arm severed by a Dragon God Mecha. He quickly retreated. This time, unlike before, they were prepared and would not give their opponents a chance for a killing blow.
"Damn it!" The enemy late-stage Royal-level cultivator was enraged upon seeing this, his eyes turning red. The Heavenly Soldier long sword in his hand unleashed its full power.
"Buzz!" A flash of sword light streaked across, and a Dragon God Mecha’s head was instantly severed.
However, a scene of astonishment unfolded before him. The Dragon God Mecha, having lost its head, continued to fight, its power undiminished in the slightest.
"Damn it! What exactly are you?!"
The elder, seeing this, became furious, his expression contorted. He directly broke through, grabbed a mecha, and instantly crushed it.
"Rumble!" A colossal roaring sound echoed, followed by the elder rapidly retreating. His face was filled with disbelief, for his hand was injured.
This was unimaginable to him. Although he had destroyed a metal puppet with one strike, the resulting explosion upon its destruction had injured him.
Unnoticed by anyone present, as the Dragon God Mecha was crushed, a figure fell to the ground from the fragments.
