Chapter 498: Chapter 498: Treasure Hunt in the Desert (Part 6)
After the Divine Nest’s sixth host, the Brocade Hair Mouse, ascended to Level 4, Zhang Yuan gained a storage space of up to 64 cubic units.
He had always been researching how to utilize this storage space effectively.
One very important use is to employ the storage space in battle.
And in this regard, Zhang Yuan had a successful precedent.
So he stocked his storage space with massive rocks weighing tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of pounds, as well as multiple slabs.
Previously, they had been used to build windproof shelters in the desert.
But at this very moment, the largest rock in the storage space was hurled out by Zhang Yuan.
This rock, which wasn’t worth half a tael of silver, instantly became a terrifying weapon!
The War General Statues, even with a certain amount of spiritual intelligence, would never dream that Zhang Yuan possessed such a means.
When it realized the danger was imminent, at the very moment it suddenly lifted its head, the giant rock came crashing down.
The massive rock, weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds, carried with it the powerful momentum of its fall, mercilessly crashing onto the head of the War General Statue, releasing a dull explosive sound.
Bang!
The War General Statue barely managed to raise its halberd in defense when it was heavily crushed to the ground by the rock.
Countless shards of stone splattered and flew, kicking up swirling dust and smoke.
Plop!
A severed arm clutching a long halberd just happened to fall beside Zhang Yuan’s foot.
Done!
Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but let out a deep breath, reaching out to retrieve the giant rock back into his storage space.
He had not forgotten there were still three more War General Statues flanking the throne!
At the same time, Zhang Yuan also put away the long halberd.
Even though he didn’t know how to use this weapon, the long halberd was undeniably of a Profound Soldiers tier, its quality no lesser than the Taowu Saber, making it a very valuable trophy.
In an instant, having tidied up, Zhang Yuan looked once again in the direction of the throne.
Clack! Clack! Clack!
To Zhang Yuan’s astonishment, the three War General Statues came to life in unison.
One held a copper hammer, another a war axe, and the other a longsword. The three statues suddenly leaped high into the air, landing with a boom in front of Zhang Yuan, their pairs of scarlet eyes fixated on him.
Zhang Yuan instantaneously sensed an intent to kill, so piercing it felt as though it could penetrate his Divine Soul, locking onto him tightly!
Instinct told him he was about to face the combined assault of these three War General Statues.
This was completely devoid of martial ethics!
Zhang Yuan reflexively swallowed hard, feeling an unprecedented immense pressure.
A single divine statue was already extremely difficult to handle, and now he had to face three, and it was clear they had formed a battle array, with an aura of killing intent that almost enveloped the entire hall.
Zhang Yuan didn’t think he could break through the opponent’s battle array head-on!
But at that moment, Zhang Yuan wasn’t overwhelmed by instinctive fear. The battle intent from the depths of his Divine Soul was stirred by the turbulent Qi Blood, instantly reaching its peak.
He fiercely charged towards his new opponents and once again took to the air, releasing the massive rock weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds.
As long as it was effective, Zhang Yuan didn’t mind using the same trick a dozen or a hundred times!
However, just as the massive rock came plummeting down, the War General Statue wielding the copper hammer suddenly swung its weapon.
Boom!
With a thunderous crash, the rock was shattered by the copper hammer mid-air, its surface covered in countless cracks, altering its trajectory.
The rock did not harm the three War General Statues in the slightest!
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuan wasn’t the least bit surprised.
Frankly, his stone-throwing technique relied on the element of surprise. Once the target was prepared, it was hard to succeed.
And these War General Statues clearly possessed considerable spirituality and intelligence, by no means mere mechanical puppets!
In the next moment, Zhang Yuan swiftly threw out a talisman.
Under the urging of True Essence, the yellowish talisman swiftly flew to the center of the three War General Statues, with the vermillion runes on its surface suddenly glowing brightly.
Enveloping all these formidable entities within.
A profound ripple filled the hall, silently rippling through the air, impacting the armor’s surfaces of the War General Statues, stirring up ring after ring of ripples.
The three imposing War General Statues suddenly seemed to be caught in a quagmire.
Possessing exceedingly strong strength but unable to exert it, their movements became stiff and sluggish.
Chaos Talisman!
What Zhang Yuan just used was a precious Profound Talisman, which had the effect of plunging enemies into chaos, clouding their five senses, and simultaneously suppressing their strength and aura.
And this Profound Talisman was a gift from the Young Mage Mo Huai’an after Zhang Yuan escorted him back to the Upper Scenic Celestial.
A Profound Talisman, capable of saving lives at critical moments!
Zhang Yuan was very aware that this Chaos Talisman couldn’t fully suppress the three War General Statues because their combat power was comparable to Tier Six strongmen, the effect of the Profound Talisman would significantly diminish.
The duration of its effect was also very limited.
Thus, at the instant the Chaos Talisman took effect, he consecutively hurled four or five jars of Volatile Oil.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amidst a series of crashes, jar after jar of Volatile Oil exploded on the War General Statues, drenching the ground all over.
Immediately, raging flames soared, completely engulfing them!
This series of changes completely disrupted the three War General Statues’ combat rhythm.
Though they struggled to break the suppression of the Chaos Talisman, they were interrupted by the burning flames igniting on their bodies, swinging their weapons chaotically, their formation thrown into disarray.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan swept into the sea of fire like a specter, swinging his blade towards the neck of the sword-wielding War General!
Thirty times the strength, thirty times the agility, with Intermediate Sword Technique Profound Communication empowerment!
The magnificent Sword Aura, still bright and brilliant against the backdrop of the flames, cut through the distance of a dozen steps, silently and swiftly like lightning, striking the target.
Screech!
A deep cut appeared instantly on the neck armor of the War General Statue.
Then, the cut rapidly expanded inward, tiny stone fragments splattering everywhere!
The sword-wielding War General struggled to turn its head, the longsword it held shimmering with a bewitching light, clearly realizing who the culprit of its grievous injury was, trying to mount a strong counterattack.
However, in the blink of an eye, the War General Statue lost sight of Zhang Yuan.
Having struck successfully, Zhang Yuan had already teleported to another side, slashing at the waist of the hammer-wielding War General.
Once again creating a shocking wound.
But he refused to linger in battle, repositioning himself once more. The Taowu Saber in his hand swept up heavy beams of cold light, cutting through the barrier of flames, striking the three War General Statues with the fluidity of flowing mercury.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The continuous sounds of the saber clashing and grinding against the armor echoed ceaselessly.
However, the three War General Statues were not rendered into mere targets; as they sustained damage, they launched fierce and violent counterattacks, temporarily overshadowing the flames’ brilliance with their sparks of clashing blades and swords!
