Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 1481: Chapter 606: Flowing Gold Guest vs Ning Zhuo · Second Bout (2)

The bird swarm struck head-on, planning to execute the same attrition tactic as before.

Flowing Gold Guest sneered coldly, grasped the alarm whistle at his waist, and blew it hard.

The whistle sound was extremely sharp, like a red-hot silver needle suddenly piercing the eardrum.

Many cultivators on the sidelines frowned; those with slightly weaker cultivation levels instinctively circulated mana to protect their eardrums.

The whistle sound formed waves, sweeping forward, instantly disturbing the mechanical bird swarm Ning Zhuo had just released.

High above the clouds, the Wind Kite appeared to be caught in a chaotic wind, its wings rustling. The Neck Spear Crane’s diving route constantly deviated, while the Holding Festival Pheasant collided in flight...

”The alarm whistle of Bird and Beast Manor!” Someone immediately recognized it, feeling puzzled, ”This item was originally for chaotic beast groups, but it can also affect mechanical birds?”

”The mechanical flying birds from the Empty Valley Sound Green Mechanism Tube are controlled by sound rhythm and divine sense; the alarm whistle might not disrupt the mechanism but can disturb the sound rhythm, shake the divine sense, severely disrupting Ning Zhuo’s control rhythm,” another cultivator whispered in explanation.

”Interesting.” Ning Zhuo floated backward, releasing the Green Forest Python Chariot midway.

He sat on the seat at the back, placed the ancient zither across his knees, and his fingertips touched the strings.

Zheng!

Zheng zheng!

Zheng zheng, zheng zheng...

The ancient zither’s sound was like clear springs striking stones, or like white cranes fluttering, instantly pressing against the sharp whistle sound.

The two sounds collided in mid-air, one chaotic, one steady; one like startled beasts, one like a phoenix singing on a high ridge.

Dong Nishang watched the battle from the crowd. Hearing Ning Zhuo’s performance, she was slightly surprised. This was the piano score she had given Ning Zhuo; she didn’t expect him to play it so skillfully after only a few days.

Under the guidance of Ning Zhuo’s ancient zither, the mechanical bird swarm quickly gathered from its previous disarray, feathers vibrating, bamboo bones ringing clearly, reforming into a cloud-like formation in mid-air.

Flowing Gold Guest observed but felt no disappointment; instead, a cold, sinister smile flashed in his eyes.

”Ning Zhuo, watch closely!”

He clapped his hands together, golden blood surged in his palms, but instead of transforming into protruding needles as before, it turned into a dense golden mist.

Urged by his mana, the golden mist rapidly expanded forward, swept toward the mechanical bird swarm.

Golden Stone Opening Skill!

The golden mist silently penetrated through gaps.

It drilled into the small bearings in the Neck Spear Crane’s neck, causing instant friction. It penetrated the symbol veins inside the Golden Cage Bird’s belly, and the symbol light immediately dimmed. It went into the mortise and tenon joints in the Holding Festival Pheasant’s legs, slightly loosening them, emitting a tooth-grating crunch.

A Neck Spear Crane was about to release its lance, but its neck suddenly drooped, and the spear mechanism immediately dislodged, plummeting to the ground with a thud.

Several Golden Cage Birds were just about to explode into Twisted Silk Bamboo, but their bamboo silk barely extended three inches before falling apart like it had been stripped of muscle and bone, scattering in the air into remnants.

The Holding Festival Pheasant drilled into the ground, where it should have burst in a chain explosion, but its internal flappers got jammed by the golden mist, lying stiff in the earth, unable to move.

An uproar erupted from the sidelines.

”What kind of spell is this?”

”Ning Zhuo’s mechanical bird swarm has been completely restrained!”

”Flowing Gold Guest’s preparation really is thorough this time. Ning Zhuo, being a mechanism cultivator, is in danger this time.”

Ning Zhuo frowned slightly.

”Golden Stone Opening Skill is indeed troublesome,” he thought to himself.

The mechanical structure was directly dismantled; the more intricate and numerous the parts of the mechanical birds, the easier it was for gaps to be penetrated.

Fortunately, Ning Zhuo also has preparations.

He immediately activated his divine sense, his mana simultaneously consuming sharply.
