Chapter 219: Long drought brings nectar

boom!
It was as if all of a sudden, the entire building was spinning!
As the hub supporting the key nodes, the materials used certainly cannot be skimpy. As the matter involves the overall plan for Quancheng, a few small things will not be a big deal. It is almost equivalent to a shortened version of the workshop core.

It’s absolutely correct to say that the whole house is smart.

It has everything, including air, temperature, water and electricity supply and maintenance, internal environment regulation and external defense. It even has things that shouldn't be there, including a self-destruct button.

Once activated, it will immediately draw out the evil pollution that is everywhere in Quancheng, and then the essence will burst out and flow back into it. At that time, coupled with the explosion, absolutely no one will be able to leave alive.

Faced with such strict defense, Lou Feng's unlocking, Tong Shan's suppression, Ji Xue's acceleration, teammates' protection and clearing of the way, and Ji Jue's mechanical deification and dissociation.

Even, these crucial ten seconds.

If any of them is missing, they will deliver the food to your door without considering their own capabilities.

According to Ji Jue's reading, once the alarm at the center sounds, at least four or more authorities will immediately descend remotely, and what they will face at that time is the thunderous sweep of the evil cult.

After realizing this, Ji Jue immediately blocked all functions and sequences related to the alarm, and even manipulated mercury to drill into them, using solid alchemy to literally freeze this part of the functions.

【Everything is fine, everything is fine, there are no problems at all. 】

【The plan is proceeding in an orderly manner! 】

【Stable and improving! 】

With one hand operating the central nervous system, Ji Jue distractedly responded to the inquiries that came every ten minutes or so in the tone that the craftsmen in the previous records usually used, while with the other hand, he operated the mercury changes...

——Hunting down the Deep Craftsman who was supposed to be operating all this!
boom! ! !
The grenade that Ji Jue casually threw exploded with a loud bang. Amid the force of the gunpowder, the mercury injected into it also exploded with a loud bang. Thousands of fragments of light covered the entire center like fireworks.

Another layer of light film emerged with the impact. The craftsman took a step back in embarrassment, but was intact. He glared at Ji Jue with his blue eyes, cursing in the imperial language, chattering non-stop.

Ji Jue was not polite and responded in the imperial language.

A middle finger was raised and gestured.

Then, as the action progressed, the mercury beneath his feet rolled up, and a middle-finger-shaped iron wall rose from the ground, blocking the incoming bullets. The flames of the explosion roared and spread, and the flames were blazing.

Also an alchemical bullet.

The power is amazing.

Even the huge upright middle finger had a shocking crack, and its [quality of gold and iron] was shaken.

"Rapid change?"

Ji Jue understood instantly.

A craftsman from the Empire, in the Transformation Period, Level 6, his matrix should be [Red Anvil], and his higher awakening ability is the ability to completely stimulate the "radical change" of any material reaction process, and his specialty is the forging of weapons and the granting of qualitative changes. Under the premise of sufficient preparation, his own destructive power is not inferior to other types of Chosen Ones.

After all, any weapon that relies on physical reactions to increase its power will at least double its power after being catalyzed by "radical changes" in the hands of the opponent.

The other party also suffers as a result.

After all, this thing was next to the center and was more important than his life. He didn't dare to throw a bomb to achieve the goal of living as long as heaven and earth, otherwise he would not have a good ending even if he survived.

I can only pray in my heart that support will come faster and try my best to delay time.

Relying on his own defensive equipment, he took on Ji Jue's attack and was already covered in dust. At this moment, he gritted his teeth and took out a palm-sized "toothpick bottle" from his arms, and threw out a bunch of tiny iron needles. Then, as he fell in mid-air, the iron needles quickly expanded, appearing red and icy blue, and turned into sword blades of different styles and lengths, rising into the air and slashing and piercing.

For a moment, the sound of breaking air was endless, and sword shadows were whistling in the sky.

It was as if in a flash countless invisible and intangible swordsmen who had no fear of death came to attack him at the risk of their lives. He wanted to see how long this scarred kid, who was just in the inspiration stage, could hold on!

Then, his face turned furious.

All I saw was silver light rolling and rising, and the originally ordinary mercury instantly disintegrated into countless fine filaments, disturbing, entangled, and entangled on the sword blade one after another. One or two were insignificant, ten or a hundred were no problem, and thousands or tens of thousands were no problem. But after cutting off thousands of them, there were still thousands or tens of thousands. In an instant, wrapped in countless layers of restraints, the sword tip in the front was already stuck in the mud, unable to move forward.

When he finally realized what was happening, he wanted to sneer.

The sword-shaped bottle is his masterpiece. Even if he used such an unusual blessing as the Toughness Shape to entangle one sword, he still has seventy-one!
Can you find seventy-one blessings of the most resilient type?
Bang!
At that moment, all the remaining sword blades suddenly froze for a moment, as if they were wedged into iron or stone - [Quality of Gold and Iron]!
Before the Deep Craftsman could infuse spiritual essence and trigger destruction, his sneer got stuck in his throat.

——Because the first sword blade that was entangled by the Tough Form actually lost its sensitivity!

It's like disappearing into thin air.

After seeing the cracks created by the other swords, he finally saw the painstaking work that Ji Jue was holding in his hand and playing with casually!

"General stuff."

Ji Jue used the dissociation technique to remove all the spiritual essence inside, and after cleaning it into a blank slate, he threw it into the toolbox. The material is good, I can rebuild it later.

The Youshen craftsman felt like he had seen a ghost.

What the hell is this!

what happened? !

Before he could react, the metal and iron material suddenly collapsed, and the softness of the fingers reappeared, wrapping around another sword, and then, once again, the sensitivity was lost!

gone!
Cold sweat oozed out from the forehead of the Deep Craftsman and couldn't stop.

Chilling to the bone!

He simply couldn't understand it or see it clearly. Until now, he couldn't even tell the skill of the little devil in controlling the piece of mercury. It was so bizarre and weird everywhere.

If the occasion was not wrong, he would even want to stop and ask: How the hell did you do it? How can the toughness and the quality of gold and iron coexist in such an ordinary material as mercury?
Ji Jue's smile became more mocking and vicious.

If the magic trick is not exposed, it is a miracle.

It’s like a magician mixed a cup of ice water and a cup of hot water in a cup, and it turned into both ice and hot water!

In fact, there is a partition in the middle of Ji Jue’s container to keep each one warm.

Two semi-finished products put together are still two semi-finished products.

It just looks like a whole, but in fact, the two are clearly distinguished from each other.

Now, in this seemingly complete silver light, there are actually two layers of completely different mercury overlapping. When toughness is needed, the toughest form is used, and when hardness is needed, the metal and iron qualities are used.

The Chengchuan Juxing technique can keep the two independent during operation and avoid interfering with each other.

It's just that the combination of non-attack and Miaoshou Tiancheng has become fast enough, so that there is a seamless switch, and the two are running in parallel, giving people the illusion of combining hardness and softness, and being soft or hard according to one's heart.

No wonder Mr. Lou was shocked by such a makeshift method.

It's so fucking makeshift, but so effective.

This is a solution that is only useful for Ji Jue - as for the difficulty of operation, I'm sorry, this is how we put spirit first.

If you are not good at it, just practice more. In other words, as long as you practice enough and for a long time, you will not be a bad player.

It’s nothing more than dividing your mind into two parts. It’s very simple.

Hmm? Don't you?

Bang!
A muffled sound suddenly broke out.

At that moment, the Deep Craftsman's expression suddenly changed, and the whole person suddenly spread out into a phantom, shattered, and turned into a stream of light and flew out, and then crashed into the central blockade, with no way to escape...

After being bounced back, he reassembled in a mess and fell to the ground with a pale face.

There was a wound on the back of his neck, so deep that the bone was visible.

The wound was black, completely unable to heal, and blood continued to flow out.

If it was two inches deeper, it would have almost cut off his head...

If it weren't for the fact that the precious life-saving device that was set up with the necessary conditions activated self-destruction at the critical moment, he would have been beheaded.

"Tsk!"

Two almost overlapping voices were heard.

Ji Jue was sighing that it was Yu Jin after all. He lacked everything except equipment. He had a lot of life-saving stuff, so he was really hard to kill!

Ji Xue, who had just recovered a little by taking spiritual supplements, lowered her head and glanced at the bloodstain on the dagger in her hand, full of regret.

Unlike the difficulty of synchronizing with other people's time, controlling your own time is much simpler. As long as you concentrate, you can speed up a hundred times.

But now the enemy is on guard, and there will probably be trouble next.

Immediately, more than fifty sword blades rose into the air and attacked her.

The pressure on Ji Jue was greatly reduced. He didn't even bother to continue collecting equipment. He took out the bell and started shaking it wildly. In an instant, three bells rang in succession.

Once again, the deep craftsman's hair stood on end.

From the cry of the bone knife, the residual souls gathered, like a deformed evil spirit of a doctor crawling out of the blood, the ten fingers of both hands were as sharp as knives, coming and going without a trace, ignoring all physical interference, constantly drilling out from between the walls and the floor, like a thorn in the flesh, harassing and attacking.

Then, a hardened mercury bead from Ji Jue's pocket fell into the mercury, and instantly a hollow armor rose up, waving its four arms, bearing the slash of the sword, and charged forward. Not only that, Ji Jue's hand continued to take out a handful of beads from his pocket and threw them into the mercury, and immediately, one after another, rough mercury spiders crawled out of it, pouring towards the embarrassed Youshen craftsman.

It’s simply overwhelming!

In an instant, the original one-on-one fight turned into a group fight, and the one being beaten was himself... In the dangerous siege, the reserve of alchemical bullets was consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

No more hesitation.

If this continues...

Amidst an unprecedented sense of crisis, the Deep Craftsman struggled hard to escape from the torment of being boiled like a frog in warm water. He suddenly stood up, ignoring the blood loss and wounds on his neck and the siege, shouting and roaring silently, and the spiritual essence on all the whistling blades rose and shrank.

Like a hedgehog, it surrounds and resists the siege.

Then, he rushed towards Ji Jue, or rather... the center behind Ji Jue!
At this point, there is no support from outside the center, and this stronghold may not survive. In this case, we might as well damage the center. When the other end finds the abnormality, there will naturally be thunder and wrath in an instant!

Ji Jue raised his pistol expressionlessly, pointed the exaggerated caliber at his face, and pulled the trigger. Bullets whistled, hitting the defensive light film one after another and bouncing off.

Right under his feet, mercury continued to rise, accurately intercepting the bullets and sharp blades from the deep craftsmen, entangled.

Just like that, he stood in front of the center without retreating.

It's like a duel with no way out.

The distance between the two was constantly narrowing, step by step. They could almost see the anger and coldness in each other's eyes, and distinguish the bloodshot that was silently spreading in them.

With a roar, another bullet bounced off the front of the Deep Craftsman.

He stared at Ji Jue intently.

Ten meters? How dare you block my sight at this distance?

Then go to hell!
But in an instant, the body suddenly shook violently, a piercing pain came from the back, and the chill spread.

The defense behind was actually broken!

——Sniper!
At that moment, under Ji Jue's guidance, he put all his defenses forward. When his back was at its weakest, a bullet shot in from outside the bank and hit him right in the back!

It instantly broke through layers of floors and walls, and after penetrating six layers of barriers, it broke through the obstruction of repulsion and drove straight in!
The alchemical bullets carefully made by Lou Feng with his good craftsmanship and furnace were naturally more powerful after they were given a qualitative change in spiritual essence.

The bullet hit the target instantly, and then spread the chill, freezing him into a popsicle almost instantly.

Unfortunately, in addition to the repulsion field, the Deep Craftsman actually has a layer of close-fitting protective soft armor that covers the upper body and protects the vital parts.

it's over!
The Deep Craftsman grinned silently. It was not only Ji Jue who was calculating, and he was not the only one who could do it - at this distance, the sudden change of the sword blade was enough to break through the defense of gold and iron and damage the core.

No, it's even enough to blow the opponent to pieces.

go to hell!
And before he died, his last thought was - what on earth happened just now?
Without any warning, all the alchemical swords flying in the air lost their power in an instant, fell to the ground with a clang, and fell into a pool of blood along with their fallen owners.

No more sound.

Even Ji Xue stood there in a daze, sluggish, hesitant, wondering if this was some trick of the other party. She stared at the body that was gradually losing its temperature from afar, unable to understand.

"What's going on?"

"Yeah, what's going on?"

Ji Jue lowered his eyes and sighed, overlooking the pool of blood that spread to his feet, without intending to explain.

Just behind the corpse that fell face up to the sky, the spiritual hand disappeared silently, as if it had never appeared.

Craftsmen are hard to kill.

With a prepared and vigilant craftsman, it is much harder to kill him.

There are too many equipments and defenses. God knows how many life-saving gadgets he has hung on his body.

But craftsmen are also easy to die, because once their weaknesses are caught, there is no chance of a comeback...

At the moment when the repulsion field was broken by Lou Feng's bullet, along with the bullet, Ji Jue's third spiritual hand, which gathered and dispersed at the will of his heart and came and went invisibly, also broke through the defense.

The spiritual hand with all non-offensive properties instantly penetrated the wound that Ji Xue had left on the opponent's neck. The index finger and middle finger came together and pinched the opponent's aorta.

Coagulating blood, disrupting spiritual essence, interfering with blessings, and wounding the soul, after a series of smooth operations in an instant, taking advantage of the opponent's weakest moment, the dissociation technique is launched!
Disintegrate the Matrix!

Finally, the force exerted at close range directly shattered the opponent's brain into a ball of tofu brain!

After such a set of operations, let alone a craftsman in the transformation period, he would die thoroughly. In the same situation, even if it was Tong Shan, he would still be controlled and then stabbed by the Mercy Bone Knife, and be slaughtered at will - the premise is that Ji Jue had not been crushed into a uniform meat paste by telekinesis before this.

It wasn't until now that Ji Jue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hurry up and collect the spiritual essence...process the materials!
Don't waste it...

In terms of ability, the opponent is really not weak.

At least it is much better than the inferior and parallel-brand products that Duden sent away to avoid being an eyesore.

Unfortunately, it’s still not enough.

Who made Ji Jue best at beating his own people?
What colleagues are best at is doing the same thing.

Not to mention other messy creations and works, let alone relying on the sometimes-effective Edge of Change, he can easily defeat those of the same level with just the Dissociation Technique. Even when facing an opponent who is one stage higher than him, he is still a serious threat.

What's more, with the non-attack matrix in hand, it is like carrying a workshop with him. When facing any opponent, he has the opportunity to adapt to the situation and target the weaknesses.

From the moment he used the Dissociation Technique to shatter the first sword, Ji Jue already understood the opponent's skills, style, and variations.

There was a safer and more convenient way just now. He could even wait until the calf and horse came to support him, and then eliminate the opponent head-on in one go.

However, the offensive and defensive situations have changed. After the opponent has given up, he has to prioritize protecting the center.

We can’t let the cult find out that people have been replaced here.

Otherwise, I'm afraid we'll be caught in one fell swoop.

"Next, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

After finishing his work, Ji Jue dragged a chair and finally sat down.

The sticky blood dripped from the fingertips and fell into the scarlet pool under the feet. The sound of water drops in the silence here contrasted with the turmoil outside, making it more peaceful.

But it didn't take long before he and Ji Xue couldn't help but change their expressions.

An undisguised violent aura emerged from outside the center and approached rapidly.

Break down the door.

"Fuck, where did these idiots in the cult come from?"

An irritable voice sounded from the disturbed dust, full of displeasure: "How come I'm almost killed by someone while I'm taking a shit?

Where is the craftsman? Is the craftsman still alive? Say something! "

No one responded.

"I hold—"

When the supporters saw the body in the room, they couldn't help but curse out loud.

Or, to be more precise, when he saw the intruder...

In the brief silence, only Ji Jue's eyebrows slowly raised and he looked over. In the silence, his expression gradually became strange.

The intruder supporters also fell silent.

They stared at each other in silence.

“Smith!!!”

Angry voices, shouts, and urgings were heard from the direction of the underground vault.

The priest, who was helpless and unable to continue under Tongshan's suppression and fierce attack, shouted in grief and anger: "Smith, Smith, you son of a bitch, what on earth are you doing!"

'Smith' said nothing.

Ji Jue didn't say anything either.

Look at him.

In the curling smoke and dust, there is a familiar face, the so-called 'Smith'.

"Long time no see, Lao Tang."

Ji Jue asked, "Are you coming to Quancheng to take on another job?"
