“Tsk, after all that talk, they still ran away? Moreover, do you really think you were able to defeat the Hidden Bats by yourself? If it weren’t for Xiao Gao, I’m afraid we would have been able to attack and defend against the aliens, right?” Dao Zhi directly sabotaged him.

Big Hammer was not convinced: “I also put in a lot of effort, okay?”

“Yes, yes, but the person still didn’t stay!” Dao Zhi shook his head.

Gao Jianli said, “Although we didn’t keep him, we have fought him before. I understand his abilities. Next time we meet, we will have a much better chance of winning!”

“Ah, yes, that’s it!” He agreed, hammering his palm with a big hammer.

“Strange, why didn’t the other people from Liusha show up? Especially Wei Zhuang!” Master Ban asked puzzledly.

“Maybe they are waiting for support. After all, we have many Mohist disciples. It is impossible for Liusha and his men to capture our Mechanical City.” Duanmu Rong guessed.

“Sister Rong is right. I just received news that a large number of elite Qin troops are gathering towards our Mechanical City.

I’m afraid Wei Zhuang and his men want to use the power of the army to break through the mechanical city.” The Snow Girl nodded in agreement.

“Hmph, our Mechanical City is an iron wall. No matter how powerful the Qin army is, they can never break through it!” Big Hammer shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, a Mohist disciple came in with a horrified look on his face and reported: “Commendators, outside… outside…”

“What’s going on outside?” Dao Zhi asked.

“I can’t explain it clearly, please go out and take a look!” said the Mohist disciple with some confusion.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and walked out of the meeting hall.

As soon as they went out, they saw many Mohist disciples falling to the ground with expressions of pain on their faces, and everyone was shocked.

Duanmu Rong was the first to go up and check. Soon she frowned and said, “They are poisoned!”

Master Ban exclaimed: “How is this possible? Wasn’t he fine before? And how could so many disciples be poisoned at the same time?”

“So many people were poisoned at the same time. Either there’s something wrong with the food or the water!” Master Xu said solemnly.

“But, we also ate and drank, why are we fine?” Dao Zhi wondered.

Duanmu Rong looked at the increasingly scorching sun, felt the residual poison in the air, and looked at the symptoms of the poisoned disciples. Her expression suddenly changed: “This is terrible!”

“Sister Rong, have you thought of something?” asked the Snow Girl.

“I have heard that there is a kind of poison in this world, called Zunyu Qianye, which is made after a thousand dark nights of tempering. During this period, it cannot be exposed to sunlight, otherwise all the previous efforts will be wasted.

When using it, drop it into water, it will spread when encountering sunlight and spread through the respiratory tract. The stronger the sunlight, the stronger the toxicity. It is said that “when the sun is at its highest point, the whole city will be slaughtered.”

When this poison is exposed to light, its power instantly increases thousands of times, but the poisoned person will not die immediately. Instead, he will fall into a state of zombie. If he does not get the antidote within twelve hours, he will never wake up!

The symptoms of these disciples just fit the characteristics of this poison!” Duanmu Rong’s face was solemn.

“No wonder we couldn’t detect any toxicity before. It turns out that it needs to be combined with sunlight to be effective!” Master Ban said with sudden enlightenment.

Gao Jianli’s face also looked unhappy, and he said solemnly: “Miss Rong, can you prepare the antidote for this poison?”

Duanmu Rong pondered for a moment: “I can try, but it will take time. What we lack most now is time. Since the enemy has already poisoned us, they will definitely expect us to be in such a situation. Maybe they will launch an attack in the next moment!

Besides… the water here is all poisonous. If we don’t purify the water source soon, it will be difficult for us to maintain a normal life, let alone repel the Qin army!”

Master Ban pondered and said, “It seems that we need to solve the water problem first.

The valve that controls the water source is in the water below the waterfall. The water is poisonous. If you go in, you will be in great danger!”

When everyone heard this, their faces turned serious: If you go into the water, you will die, and if you don’t go into the water, you will die too, isn’t this a vicious circle?

Before everyone could think for long, a surviving Mohist disciple came to report: “Commanders, the Qin army has begun to attack the city!”

“What? How could it be so fast? Isn’t the Qin army still gathering?” Big Hammer said in surprise.

“It seems something unexpected has happened that we don’t know about!” Gao Jianli said in a deep voice, and then ordered: “Notify the other surviving Mohist disciples to resist with all their might!

In addition, we also need to inform the Xiang family and others who are visiting my house. One more person means more strength at this time!”

Everyone understood that this was a matter of life and death for the Machinery City, and they all nodded.

At the same time, outside the city

Chi Lian shielded her eyes from the sun with her hands and said with a smile, “Oh, the weather is really nice today. I heard that military strategists pay attention to the right time, right place, and right people when sending troops. Isn’t the right time for me right now?”

Wei Zhuang asked, “Where is Gongshu Chou?”

“The old man has already entered the Mechanical City and said he is preparing to destroy the Mechanical City from the inside!” Bai Feng said.

“It seems that he is more eager to destroy Mohism than we are!” Wei Zhuang murmured.

Then his eyes turned cold: “In this case, let’s give him this opportunity and send someone to inform the Qin army to launch a siege to attract the attention of the Mohists.

In this way, Gongshu Chou’s actions within the Mohist School will surely be much smoother!”

“Okay, I’ll go right away!” After nodding, Bai Feng disappeared in a few flashes.

An hour later, Bai Feng came back again: “The resistance of the Mo family is much smaller than expected!”

Chi Lian smiled and said, “It seems that my Ji Yu Qian Ye has done a great job!”

Wei Zhuang nodded affirmatively: “Not bad!

In this case, let us use the Quicksand to deal the final blow to the Mohist School!”

At the same time, I thought to myself: Senior brother, here I come!

On the other side, as Bai Feng said, because many Mohist disciples were poisoned, many important defensive positions were short of people. Under the powerful crossbows and continuous attacks of the Qin army, the gate of the Machinery City was finally broken.

“What? The gate of the Mechanical City was breached so quickly?” Big Hammer looked shocked, and the other commanders were also a little surprised.

The disciple who came to report said: “I don’t know why, some of our mechanisms suddenly malfunctioned, otherwise we wouldn’t have lost the defense so quickly!”

“Huh? Could it be that Gongshu’s people have come?” Master Ban asked in surprise. You know, many of the mechanisms inside were designed by him personally. There should be no sudden failure, unless it was deliberately destroyed by someone else.

The person who could destroy it so easily obviously had great attainments in mechanical engineering. Excluding the possibility of being a disciple of Mohist school, the only one left was Gongshujia!

“Master Ban, are you talking about Gongshu Chou?” Gao Jianli frowned.

“It is very likely him. The Gongshu family has always regarded our Mohist School as their biggest enemy. I heard that he defected to the Qin State a few years ago. He will definitely not let go of such an opportunity to strike at our Mohist School!” Master Ban said solemnly.

No matter how much he hated Gongshujia, he had to admit that Gongshujia had been able to fight with his Mohist school for so many years, and his domineering mechanical skills must be quite impressive, so he had to be cautious.

In just a short while, everyone heard the sound of weapons clashing outside, which meant that the people coming were not far away from them. This made everyone shocked again: what a fast speed.

Duanmu Rong even called Tianming, Gaoyue and Shaoyu together: “Yue’er, Tianming, Shaoyu, the Qin army has already broken in. The situation is urgent. I’m afraid we don’t have time to protect you, so I will send you to the Mo family forbidden area. It’s relatively safe there, and there may be a glimmer of hope…”

Before she could finish, Gao Yue asked, “Sister Rong, what about you guys?”

“We? We are the leaders of the Mohist School. Even if we die, we will die here!” Duanmu Rong’s face showed determination.

“No, Sister Rong, I won’t leave. I want to stay with you!” Gao Yue refused.

“Yue’er, you can’t help much if you stay. You might as well hide in the forbidden area first. We have sent people out to ask for help. Maybe we will come to pick you up after we defeat the Qin army!” The incident happened suddenly, and the Qin army surrounded them outside. How could they send a message for help? These words were just to comfort Gao Yue.

After convincing Gao Yue, Duanmu Rong said to Tianming and Shaoyu, “Tianming, Shaoyu, there are some dangers in the forbidden area. I will leave Yue’er to you to take care of her, okay?”

Tianming and Shaoyu looked at each other and nodded heavily.

Not far away, Gai Nie, Fan Zeng and others watched but did not stop it, because such an arrangement was indeed the most suitable one at the moment.

Chen Mo wanted to say: Don’t look as if you are parting forever!

But thinking that they all had their own opportunities in the Mohist forbidden area, he didn’t say anything!

Chen Mo quietly approached the Snow Girl, causing her to be alert: “What are you doing?”

“I have the ability to resolve the crisis of the Mo family, as long as you agree…” Before Chen Mo finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Snow Girl: “Don’t even think about it!”

She still remembers Sister Rong’s reminder!

Chen Mo was slightly stunned: What happened? My trading method failed? What went wrong?

While Chen Mo was stunned, Duanmu Rong had already sent Tianming and the other three into the forbidden area.

After finishing all this, everyone walked out of the hall together!

As soon as he went out, he saw several Mohist disciples being killed by the Qin army. Da Tiechui was the first to rush up, waving the hammer in his hand, bringing up a terrifying gust of wind. With one smash, several Qin soldiers vomited blood and flew backwards.

He wanted to attack again, but was blocked by a figure. Gai Nie raised his eyebrows: “Wushuang Ghost?”

Yes, the one who blocked the sledgehammer was Wushuang from the Quicksand Organization, but he was very different now. Many parts of his body had been modified, and in addition to possessing human consciousness, he had become a mechanical man.

However, the strength of the transformed JiGua Wushuang has indeed improved a lot. Not only is he tireless, but he is also extremely strong. The big hammer was actually at a disadvantage when facing him.

Gao Jianli was about to help Da Tiechui, but was stopped by someone. It was Yin Fu, who had been defeated by him before: “Gao Jianli, your opponent is me; this time it’s a one-on-one fight, let’s see how you can beat me!”

“Oh? It seems that your injury healed quickly? You ran away last time, but this time you will stay forever!” Gao Jianli said in a cold tone.

As he spoke, Gao Jianli started fighting with Yinfu. The Shuihan Sword was unsheathed, and the temperature around them dropped drastically, with even the air showing signs of frost. Although Yinfu had some skills, it was still somewhat inferior to Gao Jianli who was attacking with all his strength, and could only dodge by using flexible body movements.

After seeing Gao Jianli’s performance, Chen Mo showed his expectation.

Gao Jianli is indeed at the level of a grandmaster!

A famous sword like the Shui Han Sword can indeed enhance the aura of a grandmaster!

If Gao Jianli’s own aura as a grandmaster could only affect the temperature within a radius of about ten meters, then with the blessing of the Shui Han Sword, it would be possible for it to affect the temperature within a radius of about fifty meters.

As for whether the range can be expanded, it depends on the user’s internal strength. After all, it takes internal strength to release the aura of a grandmaster.

The suppressive effect of the Grand Master’s aura on the enemy is also obvious, as can be seen from the increasingly stiff movements of the Hidden Bat.

As for why a great master like Gao Jianli cannot kill a master like Yinfu in seconds, it can only be said that there are too many factors that determine victory or defeat. Artistic conception is just a bonus and is not absolute. Take Chen Mo for example, doesn’t he also have no artistic conception? However, with his powerful skills, he can still beat everyone present!

Seeing that both sides were fighting, the Snow Girl whispered, “Dao Zhi, you are fast, so you are the only one who can escape. We will hold back these Qin troops, and you can take the opportunity to escape and tell the giant about the situation in the mechanical city!”

“Okay!” Dao Zhi nodded.

The others looked at each other. Except for Master Ban and non-combat personnel such as Fan Zeng, Xiang Liang, and Master Xu who went to the control room to operate the mechanisms, everyone else rushed towards the Qin army.

Duan Mu Rong wanted to rush out, but was held back by Chen Mo: “Let them fight, why are you joining in the fun?”

Duanmu Rong glared at him and said, “As one of the leaders of the Mohist School, you want me to stand by and watch when the Mohist School is at the critical moment of life and death?”

After saying that, Duanmu Rong shook off his hand and went straight towards Chi Lian.

Chen Mo shook his head, but he couldn’t just ignore it, so he could only help her secretly.

Duan Mu Rong threw out several silver needles from a distance, but they were all blocked by Chi Lian. The long sword in Chi Lian’s hand twisted and danced like a long snake, making it hard to defend against. It was about to cut through Duan Mu Rong’s skin…

Ding!

Chi Lian felt that the sword in his hand was attacked by an external force, and a move that was supposed to hurt the opponent was forcibly interrupted, and he frowned slightly.

Glancing around, she saw that the other members of the Mohist family were all fighting, except for a handsome young man who not only did not move, but was looking at her unscrupulously. His eyes were extremely aggressive. Chi Lian inexplicably had the illusion that she was naked in front of him, and this illusion made her very unhappy!
