In Materialized Heaven, within a detached courtyard residence in a secluded corner, Han Li stood sword in hand, her bearing cold as frost as she watched several Mechanism Wooden Puppets attack her.
When she raised her sword, her movements were heroic and graceful as a dance. A long dragon's cry seemed to ring out, making Heaven and Earth rise and fall in its wake.
But over these past days, her Mechanism Wooden Puppets had also been upgraded.
She had requested several portions of grand void spirit iron from Li Chen, then hired someone to sheath the wooden puppets with it using a craftsman's techniques. Thus, even the lowest-grade one-star wooden puppets possessed almost indestructible bodies. Ordinary Sword Qi could not scratch them; only striking with a physical Sword Blade or hitting a weakness in their seams counted as a success.
Han Li could finally unleash her true strength without restraint. As Sword Qi swept in every direction, she performed her sword techniques one after another: Yi Shoots Down Nine Suns, The Emperor's Chariot Soars with the Dragon, Thunder's Wrath, Frost-Snow Wu Hook, and Ten Steps, One Kill.
Before long, Han Li stopped.
Her brows drew tightly together, and an odd expression appeared on her lightly perspiring face.
"They really can't be scratched..."
Putting all her strength into it, she suddenly thrust her longsword at one of the wooden puppets. Under the physical attack, the puppet was finally pierced with a soft crunch.
But the iron armor sheathing it still blocked as much of the attack's residual force as possible. Unhindered, the wooden puppet turned its hand and fired a bullet at her.
Han Li hurriedly pulled her sword free and dodged, retreating to one side.
The bullets used by the Mechanism Wooden Puppets' guns were also cast from grand void
