The incoming golden sword possessed extraordinary power.
Rather than feeling like a sword, Bai Ye perceived each strike as a heavy hammer relentlessly battering the barrier of the demon force field. Every collision resounded like a hammer blow.
But...
Bai Ye held firm!
The Demon's Garment was remarkably sturdy, and the defensive capabilities of the demon force field were potent. For the blond man, who was the weakest among them, to wound Bai Ye...
Bai Ye could only attribute it to being countered. Ignore-defense piercing damage was the most effective counter to the demon force field.
However, the golden sword wielded by the Emperor, though terrifying in power, far surpassing the blond man's bullets, did not possess this effect.
Therefore...
Bai Ye could withstand it!
Bai Ye advanced with each step, moving forward, while simultaneously glancing towards Mulan's direction.
Mulan, understanding without words, immediately surged forward again, directly charging at the sorcerer. Her greatsword swept out, slashing towards the sorcerer.
But, at the moment of impact...
Countless peony petals fluttered, and red smoke suddenly billowed around them.
Mulan's sword, which seemed to have struck the sorcerer, failed to connect with any solid substance.
As expected, the next instant, the sorcerer's body disintegrated, merging with the red smoke and drifting forward, arriving beneath the ancient mechanical giant.
"You cannot stop me, because I am..." the sorcerer smiled, "flawlessly prepared!"
As the sorcerer's words faded, the Heart of Dawn, floating in his palm, suddenly erupted with light, and then...
The ancient mechanical giant's eyes began to emit a red glow, and its body slowly stirred.
When such a colossal entity moved, it felt like the earth was shaking.
The cliff face embedding the ancient mechanical giant began to tremble, with fissures resembling long dragons appearing one after another. Immediately after, countless rock fragments cascaded downwards.
A significant portion of the ancient mechanical giant's body remained, and one arm had not yet fully materialized, but...
At least one arm was present!
That arm was raised high, descending towards the ground.
Even before the fist landed, a fierce gale whipped up, incredibly violent, seeming capable of blowing everything away. The combatants were even forced to halt their actions.
Because that punch was too terrifying!
Merely by looking, one could sense world-destroying power.
Bai Ye retreated with a wry smile.
This thing was a complete mecha!
It could be considered an existence of super-quality, appearing in the current mission was utterly unfair.
Fortunately, Bai Ye had grasped the nature of the mission. If the objective was to find a way to fight the ancient mechanical giant, then everyone might as well go home and sleep; there would be no solution.
However, the mission's objective was: to prevent the ancient mechanical giant from activating!
Not to stop the ancient giant, but...
To prevent the ancient giant's activation!
At this moment, the massive fist slammed down, striking directly at the altar.
Everyone quickly scattered in all directions, evading the area covered by the fist.
Rumble!
Following the impact of the ancient mechanical giant's fist, a thunderous roar erupted.
However, the altar was clearly not constructed of ordinary stone. Despite enduring such a terrifying blow, it did not collapse.
But the entire altar vibrated violently as a result. The vines entwined around it were instantly snapped and slid off in all directions.
Bai Ye quickly stabilized himself and shouted, "The Heart of Dawn is the key to activating the ancient mechanical giant!"
Mulan wasted no words and shouted again, "Cover me!"
And then...
Forward without hesitation!
This was why the elite squad of the Great Wall Guard was willing to trust Mulan.
Because she always charged at the forefront!
The Emperor cast a cold glance, then sneered. Spreading his arms once more, a vast expanse of golden ripples reappeared.
Bai Ye was on the verge of cursing. Is that all you know?
But it had to be said, the power of this move was formidable, and it could be used again every ten seconds. Wasn't that just being a cheat?
"Get out of the way!" Bai Ye cursed, leaping forward, "You're forcing me to use my ultimate move!"
Bai Ye opened his palm, and a mechanical whirring sound ensued. Immediately, in the center of his palm, a circular metal plate slid open, revealing a large hole.
Sizzle, sizzle...
A piercing electrical arc sound arose, and on Bai Ye's arm, streaks of azure electrical arcs appeared, constantly jumping.
Magnetic Field Vortex (Creates a magnetic field vortex, attracting anything within a 15-meter radius to the user and continuously inflicting magnetic damage. Especially effective against electronic devices without field protection.)
Soon, an arc-formed electric orb appeared in the center of Bai Ye's palm, and then...
Bai Ye exerted a sudden, forceful grip!
Crack!
The electric orb was crushed into powder by Bai Ye's grip, and immediately, thousands upon thousands of electric arcs shot outwards in all directions, swarming around.
The magnetic field took shape!
Under the influence of the magnetic field, a violent wind suddenly whipped up. Centered on Bai Ye, the airflow continuously converged towards him, forming a terrifying tornado interspersed with countless electrical currents.
The next second, a terrifying suction force emerged.
The golden swords, which had just been shot out from the golden ripples, were drawn by the magnetic field's suction, rapidly approaching Bai Ye. They then began to rotate along the airflow.
The golden swords emitted "crackle, crackle" sounds, and cracks appeared on their surfaces.
Upon contact with the electric arcs within the magnetic field, the golden swords suddenly exploded one after another, disintegrating into countless golden luminous halos that dispersed outwards.
Simultaneously...
Kai gripped his crystal blade. Bai Qi forcefully plunged his scythe into the ground. Miyamoto Musashi and the mysterious swordsman also ceased their attacks, each grasping their weapons.
The worst off was the blond man. He tightly gripped his twin pistols, yet his body was still dragged, continuously moving towards the magnetic field, being drawn in bit by bit.
The crushing power of the Magnetic Field Vortex was immense. Its only drawback was...
It was indiscriminate!
The sorcerer's face, which had been stern and composed, finally showed a hint of distress. His eyes were fixed on the Heart of Dawn in his hand.
The Heart of Dawn was also being affected by the Magnetic Field Vortex, trembling in the sorcerer's hand with a "kaka" sound.
Red mist appeared in the sorcerer's hand, tightly enfolding the Heart of Dawn, preventing it from being sucked into the Magnetic Field Vortex.
But at this moment...
Mulan suddenly burst out from the side.
Mulan was also enduring the effects of the Magnetic Field Vortex, and she chose to...
Abandon her sword!
Then, Mulan surged towards the sorcerer.
Without a sword...
She still had her fists!
