Chapter 210: Little Ghost Soul Snatching
In the following time, Ling Mo had nearly a month to rest.
Just right… this month, he could do many things.
Early in the morning, Ling Mo got up before dawn and went straight to the Back Mountain.
“Sect Master…”
In the Back Mountain, inside a cave, there was a long passage full of iron furnaces, with many people inside working tirelessly at blacksmithing.
Earlier, Ling Mo had already taught them the crafting methods for Hidden Weapons, but… their talent was limited, and the Hidden Weapons they could make were few and far between.
For more powerful ones, like the Peacock Plume kind of Hidden Weapon, Ling Mo didn’t even hope that any one of them could make it.
But… for ordinary ones, like the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, Hidden Arrow, and so on, he still had some expectations.
“Any finished products recently?”
Ling Mo asked, and the one speaking was the only Person in Charge here, Yang Ping…
An old man over fifty years old, whose Soul Power Level had only reached level fifty-seven.
“Sect Master, the Hidden Weapon you taught us is truly too exquisite. We’ve researched it for so long and only managed to make one Silent Sleeve Arrow…”
They had no experience with Hidden Weapons at all, so… being able to make one Silent Sleeve Arrow in such a short time already satisfied Ling Mo very much.
One must know, Ling Mo himself had also researched it for a long time before figuring it out initially.
“Mm! Keep up the effort, no need to mind me…”
Ling Mo didn’t say much, casually dismissed them with a sentence, and went straight to the deepest part of the cave.
This place was where he specially crafted Hidden Weapons, and the previous Puppet was also crafted inside there.
Coming to the side of the cauldron, Ling Mo sat nearby in thought.
The only top-tier Hidden Weapons that Ling Mo hadn’t crafted yet were Guanyin’s Tear, Buddha’s Fury Tang Lotus, Rain of Pear Blossoms Needles, and so on.
Guanyin’s Tear aside for now, because it was a technique-type Hidden Weapon, not suitable for Ghost Gate’s current situation.
Most disciples of Ghost Gate hadn’t learned specialized Hidden Weapon Techniques, so… they couldn’t bring out the power of this Hidden Weapon.
Now… as for the Rain of Pear Blossoms Needles, the Puppet already had it, so Ling Mo didn’t need to craft it again.
The only thing missing was the number one mechanism-type Hidden Weapon, Buddha’s Fury Tang Lotus.
This was currently the most lethal Hidden Weapon, surpassing even the Peacock Plume.
Group explosion lethality, plus that fatal strike effect.
In the original work, the later Tang San defeated over ninety Soul Sages who had activated their Martial Soul True Body with one shot; its power was extremely perverse.
If combined with the Mechanical Puppet’s Sky Exploding Star, it would absolutely be a true perverse killing weapon, impossible to defend against.
Ling Mo had a premonition that once this killing weapon was successfully made, he could directly challenge a Titled Douluo…
With the coordination of the Five-Colored Divine Light itself, the Puppet’s power would be amplified by more than ten times, plus the Puppet’s own clever and ever-changing fighting style.
Even a Titled Douluo would find it hard to deal with Ling Mo.
Unless the opponent had special Soul Skills, like various wondrous Domain Supernatural Abilities and so on; otherwise… relying on brute force alone, they couldn’t even break the Puppet’s defense.
No sooner said than done, Ling Mo directly threw himself into crafting the Buddha’s Fury Tang Lotus. He had long gathered all the crafting Materials for Buddha’s Fury Tang Lotus; he just hadn’t had time to craft it.
In the next period of time, Ling Mo spent it all in the cave, ignoring whoever came to call him.
During this time, Qian Renxue came multiple times, but seeing Ling Mo so focused on crafting the Hidden Weapon, she didn’t disturb him.
She just stood by quietly watching, and left after dawn because she still needed to continue lurking by Xue Ye’s side, so she couldn’t stay long.
Xue Wu and Shui Bing’er also came, but left after not seeing Ling Mo.
It took a full seven days, and Ling Mo finally succeeded in crafting it.
With a huge boom, the entire cave trembled, and everyone stopped their work, looking fearfully toward the depths of the cave.
“What happened?”
Everyone was shocked; they had never seen this kind of situation—crafting a Hidden Weapon could actually cause an explosion?
“Haha! Finally succeeded…”
A voice of excited laughter came from the depths of the cave.
Only to see a figure flash by; the people in the cave couldn’t see it clearly at all.
And Ling Mo, at this time, had already appeared outside Ghost Gate, heading toward Sunset Forest.
Flying dozens of li, Ling Mo stopped on a large tree.
In his hand was a strange thing, like a Feather Piece, somewhat similar to the Peacock Plume, but… the color was different, and… its internal structure was also different.
This one was the Buddha’s Fury Tang Lotus that Ling Mo had spent seven days researching, an evolved version of Buddha’s Fury Tang Lotus.
It came with a Mechanical Puppet! After Ling Mo installed the Buddha’s Fury Tang Lotus into the Mechanical Puppet.
One could clearly see that the Puppet’s eyes lit up, as if it had come alive.
This Puppet was one that Ling Mo had spent seven days crafting, even more terrifying than Dugu Bo’s.
The Materials used were not comparable to that one at all.
“Little Ghost Soul Snatching, King Yama’s Life Claim! Not bad… this Puppet is really very good…”
Ling Mo looked at the Puppet before him, his heart unable to contain his excitement; this would be his proudest work in over ten years.
This Puppet was equipped with Rain of Pear Blossoms Needles, Peacock Plume, Buddha’s Fury Tang Lotus, and other top-tier Hidden Weapons, as well as all sorts of Poison Needle Hidden Weapons.
Combined with Cultivation Techniques like Heavenly Machine Transformation, with this Hidden Weapon, unless he encountered an opponent like Tang Hao, Ling Mo feared nothing.
The Puppet’s defense and evasion techniques, plus the reinforcement from the Five-Colored Light, elevated Ling Mo’s strength by dozens of times.
This ingenious combination was simply seamless.
“First, let’s test its power…”
Controlling the Puppet, Ling Mo directly appeared above Sunset Forest; the Puppet itself could fly.
In the early stages of crafting the Puppets, Ling Mo had added a pair of small Wings to them.
This pair of small Wings could cooperate with Flying Flowers and Arrow Rain skills, as well as grant flight capability to the main body.
In other words, even without flight-type Soul Skills, these disciples wielding Puppets could use flight ability.
One hand controlling the Puppet, moving it hundreds of meters away, Ling Mo directly activated Sky Exploding Star.
In an instant, a beam of dazzling Light erupted from the forest, instantly sweeping dozens of li.
With a massive boom, it exploded instantly!
Dozens of li of gale winds raged, the mountain forest howled past, countless Steel Needles erupted from the Puppet.
This piece of mountain forest was destroyed in an instant, turned into ruins.
And the nearby Soul Beasts didn’t escape either; even Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts couldn’t withstand the power of Sky Exploding Star.
This was the Divine Skill from combining Tang Sect’s top Hidden Weapon Buddha’s Fury Tang Lotus—not to mention Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts, even a Titled Douluo hit by this strike would be either dead or gravely injured.
Observing from high in the air, Ling Mo was completely shocked by the scene before him.
Although he had anticipated it early, after truly witnessing this scene, he couldn’t control the excitement in his heart.
“Damn! This is way too perverse…”
The group explosion effect far exceeded Ling Mo’s expectations; with this power, Ling Mo could basically walk sideways from now on.
“Hehe… as expected of a cheating life! Worthy of a top Hidden Weapon that one-shots over ninety Soul Sages; the power is indeed explosive…”
In the end, Ling Mo laughed too! Then he put away the Puppet and prepared to head back…
