425 A Trap Within a Trap
Chu Qingyan remained calm and had a faint smile on his face.
After that, it was time for the award ceremony. The first place winner would receive three Divine-grade materials. However, these materials had not been randomly selected.
Wu Mo had no objections to this. It looked like he was storing the three boxes in his Interspatial Ring, but in reality, he was putting them in the Divine Forging Space.
Compared with the Interspatial Ring, the Divine Forging Space was much safer.
The conference was officially over, but the competition that should have been more lively ended in a hurry.
With the respect the grandmasters had for Wu Mo, they would have definitely invited him over to discuss restrictions and arrays.
However, the masters could not do so at this point. Instead, they sent everyone back to the hotel. They could return anytime they wanted.
Wu Mo and the others did not have much to clean up. After exchanging glances, they walked toward the door.
A few minutes later, they saw Chu Qingyan at the entrance. At the same time, a group of more than 20 blacksmiths came out. They were also watching with great interest. It was obvious that they were planning to tag along to watch the show.
Wu Mo was a little speechless. Were blacksmiths not supposed to be cold and aloof? Why did these guys have so much free time?
Although he thought so, he still went up to Chu Qingyan.
“Are we leaving now?”
“Of course. Are you waiting for someone?” Chu Qingyan revealed a strange smile.
Wu Mo did not know if Chu Qingyan had sensed something or if he felt that victory was already in his grasp, hence he was a little smug. His attitude and tone had changed.
Even though this change was not big, one would still notice it if one was cautious enough.
Chu Qingyan led the way soon after. The path they took was very winding, and it grew increasingly remote.
Due to the large area of the stadium, it was located close to the suburbs. Under Chu Qingyan’s lead, they arrived at a slightly desolate place in less than five to six minutes.
“What do you think of this place as your burial ground?”
Chu Qingyan could barely control his excitement. He stood still and suddenly turned around to look at Wu Mo. The smile on his face was ferocious.
“Call all the helpers you have. Otherwise you’ll start finding excuses for your loss, won’t you?” Wu Mo said softly.
Chu Qingyan’s expression changed a little, but he was already there. There was no turning back. Before he could say anything, dozens of figures appeared from a few hidden places nearby. Their entire bodies, including their faces were clad in black, and an icy cold aura emanated from their bodies.
Xu Wanqing’s expression changed drastically as she solemnly said, “It’s the Longevity Guild’s cyborgs!”
Wu Mo heard this and looked at the cyborgs that were charging over. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“Is this some kind of mechanical ascension since organic bodies are weak?”
It was Wu Mo’s first time seeing a human transformed by a Divine weapon. These people looked no different from humans, but many of their bones, organs, and so on had been replaced by various Divine weapons. They could absorb spirit energy directly and fuse it with their bodies, hence they could increase their strength extremely fast.
With that said, such a transformation was a change to the essence of life and even a subversion of it.
They could no longer be called humans.
The blacksmiths from the Red Heart province behind Chu Qingyan reacted too. They were shocked as well as furious, and they were about to attack.
However, the moment they attacked, they were knocked to the ground by the surrounding dozen or so men in black. They could notretaliate.
“Chu, you tricked us?”
Chu Qingyan did not even turn his head, and his face revealed a cold expression. “Who are you people? Do you still expect me to please and flatter you? Your forging skills are just a little better than mine. Now, all of you have to look up to me. Even your lives are in my hands.”
The blacksmiths from the various provinces, who had come to watch the show, had looks of disdain on their faces. Although they wanted to move, they knew that they had no way to fight the dozens of cyborgs around them.
After all, the blacksmiths spent most of their time on research. How could they have time to cultivate? Even if they did, it would only be intermittent. Compared to the cyborgs who specialized in combat, they were not worth mentioning at all.
Therefore, the blacksmith did not make any rash moves although they took out their Divine weapons.
It was useless in the face of such a crisis, but it was the right move.
Judging from the aura of these cyborgs in black, their strength was roughly in the six-star rank. There were dozens of them. One could say that the Longevity Guild had invested a lot in their rebellion.
Wu Mo’s expression also turned extremely serious.
Although he had predicted that his enemy would use great force to ensure that nothing would go wrong, he never expected dozens of six-star cyborgs to appear instead of the foreign races.
“How about it? Are you disappointed, Wu Mo? You must have noticed something long ago, right? Are you waiting for reinforcements because you still feel like you got this in the bag? I’m telling you now that there’s no hope!
“Once your reinforcements arrive, you’ll either be captured or killed. There is no third choice!”
“Hmph!” Wu Mo snorted coldly. “If you betray the humans, you’ll only live like a street rat in the future. Sooner or later, you’ll live in fear and live worse than a dog!”
“Hahaha!” Chu Qingyan laughed so hard that he cried. It was as though Wu Mo’s words were extremely laughable.
After he was done laughing, he said with a vicious expression, “You know nothing! There’s no hope for humans. Only by submitting to the foreign races will there be hope for survival! But I don’t think you’ll understand, so there’s no need to waste my breath! Attack! Kill all those who resist!”
The cyborgs that had been ready long ago held sharp blades in their hands. They charged forward without hesitation.
Wu Mo realized that he had underestimated Chu Qingyan. He did not expect this guy to beat him at his own game and prepare such a fatal trap.
However, it was not the time for him to despair. He turned around and said to everyone, “Over here!”
The other blacksmiths had already made their way over to him, but their battle formation was not very tight.
“Wu Mo, do you have a way to deal with these guys?”
Wu Mo obviously did not have time to explain anything to them. Even so, Xu Wanqing and the others completely trusted Wu Mo and immediately leaned over.
Soon after, Wu Mo waved his hand, and a huge flying shuttle that was six to seven meters long appeared before him. Then, an entrance materialized in the middle of the flying shuttle.
“Wanqing, help me block these pieces of trash. The rest of you, hurry up and enter. You only have three seconds! Get in!”
