<h4>Chapter 952: Chapter 952 Battle for the Defense of Zhongdu (2nd Update)</h4><h4></h4>


    Zhongdu.


    As thergest and most prosperous city in Hua Country.


    This ce was once the center of the world.


    Especially in thesest three years, since the Daoist practices of the Hua Country flourished, even the Spiritual Energy here was more abundant than in other ces.


    Thus, this location had be a ce that people all over the world yearned for.


    But today.


    This city of extreme prosperity had fallen into an abyss of blood and fire.


    The sudden descent of deities hadpletely disrupted the existing order of the human world.


    Under the shadow of death and ughter, the normally bustling streets had be eerily deserted.


    Bang.


    A figure dropped from the sky, smashed into one side of a skyscraper, flew out the other side, and then crashed onto the ground.


    Only then could it be seen clearly.


    This was a genuine Mechanical Puppet warrior.


    But this Mechanical Puppet warrior had lost its usual luster.


    The once smooth ck Armors were covered with cracks, and even the ck wings on its back were badly damaged.


    Xiao Shui struggled to rise from the ground.


    He had been fighting continuously for over ten hours.


    This intensebat was rapidly depleting his body.


    Yet he was seemingly unaware of all this, instead, he lifted his head with a solemn expression, looked at the fierce battle ongoing in the sky, and then took off again, rejoining the battle.


    The sky was filled with deities, with Xiao Shui leading his subordinates weaving through them, relying on the Mechanical Puppet’s powerful mobility to dodge attacks and asionally counterattack.


    But in this great battle, it wasn’t only them, the Mechanical Puppets.


    For example, confronting these deities directly, attracting most of the firepower, were the puppets controlled by Liu Keke and others from the Puppet Immortal Sect.


    These towering mechanical puppets, which embodied a thousand years of the Puppet Immortal Sect’s hard work, had also absorbed many useful technologies from Earth since establishing contact with it.


    It could be said that after these three years of trials, these mechanical puppets had be even more powerful.


    Even so.


    When these puppets faced off against the descending deities, they were still foundcking.


    Bang!


    After a dull thud.


    A six-armed deity smashed the head of the tallest puppet with a punch, bursting it open.


    Amidst the sparks flying, this massive puppet fell like a mountain.


    Meanwhile, in the distance, Liu Keke spat out arge mouthful of fresh blood with a "waah".


    "Sect Master!"


    The disciples of the Puppet Immortal Sect eximed in shock.


    Liu Keke waved her hand, "I’m fine, again!"


    Another puppet was sent out, and Liu Keke manipted it to rejoin the battle group once more.


    By now, it was already the fourth puppet she had controlled today.


    Her mechanical heart already showed deep cracks, and both her body and mind were on the verge of copse.


    But she couldn’t give up.


    Because if the puppets at the front line fell, theirrades in the offensive would face total annihtion.


    At that moment, Zhu Ruyan from the Kunlun Secret Realm drew the attention of a Divine Guard with a "Flowing Cloud Water Sleeve" move, causing the Divine Guard to abandon its original opponent and start dealing with Zhu Ruyan instead.


    This allowed d and Aixi from the Secret Party Blood n, who had almost been crushed by the immense pressure, to finally take a breath of relief.


    d shouted, "Thank you, Miss Zhu!"


    Zhu Ruyan, whilebating her foe, replied solemnly, "No need for thanks, we arerades in the same trench; we should naturally help each other."


    d, somewhat enchanted by the sight of Zhu Ruyan’s figure, felt a surge of emotions within him.


    He had arrived on Earth earlier than those deities who descendedter. When he first arrived, he was almost captured as an alien.


    Fortunately, d had promptly recounted the events, and the gods who arrived shortly after also corroborated his story, thus his Secret Party Blood n was recognized.


    The things d had seen and heard during this time left a deep impression on him, especially the indomitable spirit of the Hua n and their strong sense ofradeship when facing powerful enemies, all of which astounded d.


    If only the Blood n could be as united as the Hua n, would they have fallen to such lows?


    While he was reflecting, Zhu Ruyan let out a muffled grunt. She was sent flying by a palm strike from a Divine Guard, and after she stabilized herself, an abnormal flush appeared on her face.


    This intensebat had already left Zhu Ruyan physically and mentally exhausted.


    Before she could catch her breath, a giant green hand suddenly emerged from the void behind her and struck towards her back.


    "Be careful!" d cried out in shock, wanting to help, but it was already toote.


    At that moment,


    a figure glowing with golden light soared across the sky andnded a punch directly on the giant green hand.


    Boom.


    The hand was instantly shattered into pieces, and the Divine Guard showed a pained expression as it was forced to retreat hundreds of feet.


    A single punch had injured a Divine Guard.


    This scene lifted the spirits of everyone around.


    Zhu Ruyan, whose face had turned a bit pale, nodded at therge man, "Thanks, Da Niu!"


    Indeed.


    This man was none other than Zhou Daniu, the top ace of the Fire Phoenix Special Forces.


    He rubbed his bald head and grinned sheepishly, "What’s there to thank!"


    No sooner had he spoken,


    than the Divine Guard he had just repelled roared and charged back towards them.


    Zhu Ruyan’s face turned pale again.


    But just then, behind the Divine Guard, a slight figure suddenly appeared and a ck dagger quickly shed across the Divine Guard’s throat.


    Spurt.


    The divine body, a hundred times harder than steel, was as easy to cut through as tofu under this dagger.


    Then, the figure twisted the head of the Divine Guard.


    With a crisp crack,


    the head of the Divine Guard was twisted off.


    Zou Yi then excitedly waved at Zhou Daniu, proudly eximing, "Da Niu, how’s that? Am I awesome or what!"


    The one who had struck from behind was Zhou Daniu’s close friend, Zou Yi.


    Seeing his pride, Zhou Daniu chuckled.


    But at that moment, the headless Divine Guard suddenly extended its arm and grabbed Zou Yi by the leg.


    Zou Yi was shocked, "Damn, you’re still not dead even without a head?"


    As he spoke, Zou Yi tried to activate a Spell Decree to escape.


    But under the control of the Divine Guard, his escape technique unexpectedly failed.


    Now he was genuinely scared, "Da Niu..."


    Before he could even cry out for help, Zhou Daniu had already leaped forward andnded a punch on the Divine Guard’s chest.


    Following a series of bone-cracking sounds,


    the Divine Guard was sent flying, saving Zou Yi in the process.


    Then Zhou Daniu grinned sheepishly again, "Not impressive!"


    Zou Yi was left speechless.


    At that moment, Cheng Hao, the captain of the Fire Phoenix Special Forces, was fighting while retreating. As he passed the two, he shouted, "Stop chatting, quick..."


    The rest of his shout was drowned out by an intensified assault.


    Zhou Daniu and Zou Yi tightened their expressions and joined the battle once more.


    They were indeed frontline troops.
