"No matter how many come, they're all trash."
Liu Ruomeng paid little heed. After all, they had just experienced the strength of Li Chen's Mechanism Puppets firsthand. They differed little from those made by Puppet Masters in the past, all possessing ordinary two-star or three-star combat strength.
Of everything present, what she feared most was undoubtedly that five-star Battle Puppet, the Red-Feather Thundercloud Crane.
It possessed strength comparable to a Core Formation Cultivator and could also wield the power of the Cosmic Dao. In every respect, it was already capable of standing on the same level.
In their eyes, a puppet like that was no trash, but something that genuinely posed a threat.
Yet Liu Ruomeng had seen no such presence among the reinforcements. She also knew that Battle Puppets of five stars and above were prohibitively expensive, not something just anyone could own.
"Don't let your guard down. A five-star Battle Puppet like that might be hiding nearby."
"This shouldn't be Li Chen's home base. Surely he doesn't have that many five-star Battle Puppets here?" Liu Ruomeng asked.

Fitting the corresponding components onto other Mechanism Puppets likewise gave them a distinctive means of flight.
In fact, inventions of this kind had long existed within the Puppet Dao, but had been discarded
