You Looked Like You'd Be Easy to Take Apart

"Run! Run!" the man shouted, able to control the Black Dragon Puppet with his mind.

After being slapped hard, the man realized that the white-clad man who had broken into his Magma Cavern was far more powerful than he could handle. Fortunately, the black Black Dragon Puppet still filled with the 'Blood Sea Jade,' allowing it to escape at supersonic speeds.

This precious Black Dragon Puppet must not be destroyed!

After receiving its master's command, the Black Dragon Puppet flapped its wings and took off—it was going to escape the Magma Cavern at supersonic speed and flee to 'Master's' other secret cave.

However, just as it flew to a height of one meter, a slender hand gently pressed on its back.

The Puppet Black Dragon flapped its wings desperately, but it could no longer fly even a millimeter higher!

Immediately afterwards, another slender hand, using its fingers as various tools, moved swiftly across the Black Dragon's body.

The sounds of various parts being disassembled rang out.

In just a fraction of a second... the Black Dragon Puppet's outer shell was dismantled, revealing its internal puppet structure.

Subsequently, Venerable White took out the 'Blood Sea Jade'.

With a 'thud,' the Puppet Black Dragon fell from the sky after losing its power and landed at the feet of Venerable White.

The 'sir' still embedded in the cave wall stared in disbelief.

"This energy stone is something that has been refined using cruel and evil methods." Venerable White casually put away the Blood Sea Jade.

Then, Venerable White squatted down beside the Black Dragon Puppet, disassembling it as he spoke, "A very interesting structure. It seems to be based on the Ink Sect's techniques, with some modern mechanical parts added. Combining the Ink Sect's puppetry with modern technology, truly impressive."

In the blink of an eye, the black Puppet Black Dragon had been dismantled into a pile of parts and a metal Dragonbone skeleton.

The Venerable White, still savoring the moment, turned to look at the gentleman on the cave wall and asked, "Where did you acquire this Black Dragon Puppet?"

The man was struggling to crawl out of the cave wall when he heard the question, and he froze for a moment.

It wasn't that he didn't want to answer, but in that instant, a serious question suddenly occurred to him—where did this Black Dragon Puppet come from?

He himself seemed to have forgotten about the Black Dragon Puppet, only knowing that he possessed one and how to use it.

The man was suddenly dumbfounded.

"Don't want to talk about it? Fine, I already have a pretty good understanding of the structure of this Black Dragon Puppet anyway," Venerable White murmured, and then began assembling the Black Dragon Puppet.

About a minute later...

The man finally managed to crawl out of the cave wall, and with a light leap, he jumped back into the Magma Cavern.

He frowned, watching the Venerable White's retreating figure—damn it, he had finally managed to obtain the <Sword Formula> from the Chu Household, only to have it snatched away. How was he supposed to get the scroll back?

These four paintings hold the secrets to Longevity and must not be given up easily!

Should we give it a shot?

The man began to secretly mobilize the power of the 'Blood Pool': [While this guy is researching the Black Dragon Puppet, this might be the best opportunity for me to make my move!]

"Done, assembly complete! This time all the parts are fine, and they're all put back together." Suddenly, the Venerable White in front let out a triumphant laugh.

Before him, the Black Dragon Puppet, which had been dismantled into a pile of parts, had now been restored to its original state... Well, it wasn't exactly restored to its original state; at least the gentleman could see that several details on the Black Dragon's body had been put back together incorrectly...

"It's a pity we lack the Mechanism Puppet Art from the Ink Sect. Although we understand the structure of this Puppet Black Dragon, we can't make some of the parts that the Ink Sect," Venerable White said regretfully.

Although you could buy some puppet parts from the Ink Sect... the finished product wouldn't feel the same.

Mr.: "..." Wow, that was fast! Assembling was even faster than disassembling!

"Alright, I've learned everything I need to know. Here's your Puppet Black Dragon back. I'll be going now... Huh?" Venerable White originally intended to say goodbye to this 'sir.' He didn't intend to deal with him—because Fellow Daoist Spirit Butterfly was still quite interested in this 'sir,' so Venerable White wanted to leave him to Venerable Spirit Butterfly to handle.

But as he turned his head, the Venerable White saw something that piqued his curiosity.

Because of that 800-pound slap, the man's face was... shattered!

Yes, his face wasn't swollen from being hit; rather, a layer of skin and shell had been torn away, revealing the black metallic structure underneath.

Previously, the gentleman was embedded in the cave wall, and due to the angle, Venerable White could not see the broken parts of his face; but now, after the gentleman struggled to climb out of the cave wall, the scars on his face were suddenly exposed.

The Venerable White's eyes suddenly burned with fervor.

Is this 'gentleman' also a puppet?

It was too realistic; Venerable White hadn't noticed anything unusual before—the other party possessed a life force, had Fourth-Grade Realm cultivation level, looked like they had flesh and blood, and even had soul fluctuations.

But once the outer shell of its face was opened, Venerable White saw that inside this 'gentleman' it was all just parts!

Puppet man? Android? Mechanical Augmented Human?

Ah, both of them are very interesting!

The gentleman stiffened slightly as he was stared intently at by the Venerable White.

"Hey, you look easy to take apart... Can I take you apart a bit?" said Venerable White.

"Huh?" The man's eyes widened.

But before the gentleman could answer, Venerable White muttered to himself again, "Forgot again? I don't need to ask him, he's not a friend anyway!"

******************************

In the sky, Venerable Spirit Butterfly led Song Shuhang, Soft Feather, and Liu Jianyi away from the Void Sword Sect.

The clouds sped through the air at a speed no less than that of a flying sword, and soon they arrived above the Magma Cavern.

"This is the place below. Fellow Daoist Bai's aura is also in the cave. Let's go down from here," said Venerable Spirit Butterfly.

The words had barely left his mouth.

Liu Jianyi immediately said eagerly, "Master, I'll go down and scout ahead!" The sooner they get to the cave, the sooner they can sneak in a few moments of relaxation.

With that, Liu Jianyi leaped from the colorful clouds and headed towards the Magma Cavern.

Then, Soft Feather happily said, "Senior Song, let's go down too!"

"Okay!" Song Shuhang replied.

Then... Soft Feather took Song Shuhang's hand and, imitating Liu Jianyi, jumped down from the clouds!

Huh?

Wait a minute!

The cloud artifact is currently at least four or five hundred meters above the ground, which is more than a hundred stories high! Shouldn't you cast a spell before jumping? Even if you don't have Flight Technique, at least use a lightness spell, a feather spell, or something for self-defense!

But before Song Shuhang could warn him, a tremendous force surged through his wrist—the power of Soft Feather was far beyond what a mere Second-Grade Cultivator Song Shuhang could withstand.

The sharp sound of the wind reached my ears...

"Hahahaha." Amidst the sound of the wind, Soft Feather's cheerful laughter rang out again. "I've been wanting to try bungee jumping for so long, it feels so amazing!"

Soft Feather, bungee jumping involves having ropes attached to your feet! Jumping down without ropes will kill you!

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh~~" A young man surnamed Song began to scream in agony. He had Height Phobia, and his symptoms were showing signs of getting worse.

"Haha, Senior Song, are you happy?" Soft Feather chuckled.

Senior Song: "Ahhhhhh~~" My surname is Fu... ah no, I'm so happy!

"Hehehe, Senior Song really likes bungee jumping too? Last time I saw the photos of Venerable White and Senior Song jumping together, I saw Senior Song laughing so happily." Soft Feather exclaimed happily.

Senior Song: Soft Feather, look closely with those bright eyes. Are you sure I was laughing 'happily' back then? Are you sure? Are you sure?

In addition, at this moment, Senior Song felt that his eyes were a little wet, and his nose was also wet - he would never admit that he was so scared that he even snot came out of his nose. It was just that a lot of tears did not have time to flow out of his eyes, so they flowed into his nostrils.

"Oh, right, Senior Song, let's take a picture together." Soft Feather took out her phone, adjusted the angle, and said, "Come on, Senior Song, smile."

Senior Song sniffed – practice makes perfect. A mid-air selfie? I can do it!

So he forced a happy smile.

*Snap snap Soft Feather snapped four group photos in one go!

"Haha, this is really interesting!" After taking the picture, Soft Feather tried to adjust the angle again, wanting to take another picture with Song Shuhang upside down. But unfortunately, the 500-meter height passed in the blink of an eye, and they were almost at the ground.

Soft Feather had no choice but to put her phone away. "The altitude was too low... I didn't get enough fun. Senior Song, let's try a higher spot next time, that way we can get many better angles."

"Aaaaaah!" Senior Song started screaming in agony again.

Above the clouds, Venerable Spirit Butterfly stiffly withdrew his hand—just now, he had wanted to take his beloved daughter bungee jumping, as she had always wanted to experience this fun sport.

But then, the daughter grabbed Song Xiaoyou's hand and jumped down.

He, the father, was left hanging on the cloud-shaped magical artifact.

Thump~~

Finally, Song Shuhang and Soft Feather successfully fell into a huge pool and landed safely!

The reason they were able to land unscathed was naturally due to a small spell that Soft Feather cast before landing.

Just before landing, Song Shuhang felt a lightness in his body, and then he floated down into the Blood Pool.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! What is this?" Song Shuhang's mouth and nose were filled with a fishy smell. Then he immediately saw that he was in a boiling Blood Pool. His clothes were stained red.

Soft Feather also stood up from the Blood Pool, but her clothes had a faint glow that kept all the blood from her body.

What looks like an ordinary dress is actually a monk's robe? This is a custom-made robe!
