Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 689 Gu Xu: Don't move, silly girl

"Can you ensure safety?" Gu Xu asked after hearing Xiao Wanjun's request.

"We have checked every component repeatedly many times. There shouldn't be any problems." Xiao Wanjun answered confidently.

Gu Xu's words touched Xiao Wanjun's heart.

Because His Majesty's primary concern is not the experimental results of the Mo Men puppet, but her life safety.

Gu Xu nodded.

Anyway, he holds the power of "time" and can go back in time. Even if the puppet explodes on the spot, he is confident that he can rescue Xiao Wanjun unharmed.

Xiao Wanjun bent down, carefully stretched out her finger, and lightly touched the head of the huge metal puppet.

It feels cold and solid to the touch.

In a trance, she seemed to feel an electric current flowing from her fingertips to her brain, causing her heart to tremble.

She exhaled deeply, her chest filled with uncontrollable excitement.

Except for the time when she held the imperial seal of the Great Qi Dynasty, this was the moment when she was closest to extraordinary powers.

Moreover, this is completely different from the imperial seal of Da Qi.

The power in the jade seal was bestowed by Emperor Tianxing, and the emperor could easily take it back with just a thought.

However, this metal puppet was made by her and her monks themselves.

The moment she touched it, she even had the illusion that she could call the wind and rain and control thunder.

She was silent for a while, calming her inner excitement, and then placed her entire palm on the puppet's cold metal shell.

The next moment, a dazzling light suddenly flashed across the training ground.

After the light dissipated, Xiao Wanjun's figure had disappeared.

The huge metal puppet suddenly opened its eyes.

Its eyes sparkled with golden-red light, like a blazing flame.

I saw it supporting itself with one hand, and suddenly standing up from the ground with a loud bang, leaving a huge human-shaped depression on the snow.

Then, it turned and looked at Gu Xu beside it, clasped its hands together, and bowed to him respectfully.

A smile of approval appeared on Gu Xu's face.

Through the puppet's flickering eyes, he could clearly sense that Xiao Wanjun was sitting in the control cabin at the puppet's head, her expression solemn but revealing an unconcealable joy.

Her hands were placed firmly on a glowing glass ball--that was the core control center of the puppet formation.

With the help of this center, Xiao Wanjun can flexibly control the puppet with her mind alone, as if it has become a part of her body.

"Let's try its firepower!" Gu Xu ordered.

The puppet moved in response, slowly raised its heavy right arm, and pointed directly at the brick and stone fortress on the parade ground, which was usually used for drills.

Immediately afterwards, there was a deafening roar, and a dazzling red beam of light suddenly shot out from the puppet's palm, carrying with it tremendous energy, like a raging dragon emerging from the sea, instantly blasting the sturdy fortress into pieces and turning it into flying powder.

"Clap clap clap."

Gu Xu took the lead in applauding.

At the same time, his mind moved, and the dust floating in the sky seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and quickly condensed again. In the blink of an eye, it returned to its original solid fortress appearance.

"Let's try other things," he said, "For example, how capable it is, how fast it is, and what effect it will have if it is actually put into the battlefield..."

After hearing his instructions, the puppet paused for a moment, and then its legs suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and then its entire huge body rose from the ground. It seemed to have turned into a meteor, streaking through the sky, rushing towards the distant horizon, and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

Gu Xu stood there and waited for a long time, but the puppet did not return.

"Could it be that Wanjun is lost?"

While he was thinking secretly, he immersed a wisp of spiritual consciousness into the star disk to investigate, and found that the metal puppet's energy had been exhausted and it stopped at the top of Mangshan Mountain over a hundred miles away, unable to fly back.

Gu Xu smiled helplessly, then used the power of "Qiankun" to tear the space apart.

In a twinkle, he was at the top of Mount Mang.

I saw the metal puppet sitting quietly on a towering rock nearby. The golden-red light in its eyes had gone out, and the magic circle on its body had also become dim.

Xiao Wanjun sat in the narrow operating cabin.

Since she could neither drive the puppet nor escape from the cabin, her face revealed an anxious and helpless expression.

Gu Xu floated in the air, approaching the head of the metal puppet.

As he used "Qiankun" again, a space channel directly connected to the inside of the puppet.

"Come out, Wanjun." He looked at the princess of the previous dynasty who was trapped inside, his lips slightly raised, and said in a gentle voice.

"But this place is too high..."

Xiao Wanjun carefully poked her head out of the space passage, with a hint of nervousness in her voice.

After all, this puppet is five meters tall, and even if it sits down, its height is far beyond that of an ordinary house.

For a mortal, falling from such a height, even if it does not result in death, it is inevitable that the face will be bruised, or even limbs will be broken.

"Don't worry," Gu Xu said, "With me here, are you still afraid of falling?"

Xiao Wanjun took a deep breath and stepped out of the space channel.

Just when she thought she was about to fall, a "Wind Talisman" suddenly flew out from Gu Xu's sleeve and stuck to her body. In an instant, her figure was suspended steadily in the air, no longer showing any tendency to fall.

"Is this what it feels like to fly in the air?" Xiao Wanjun sighed in her heart.

This is undoubtedly a brand new experience for her.

Although she had taken a ride on the Great Qi Dynasty's flying boat in the past, the feeling was ultimately different from flying by herself.

Now, what was under her feet was no longer the solid deck, but the ethereal air and the distant ground.

Since it was her first time using the Wind Talisman, Xiao Wanjun was a little unfamiliar with the direction and strength. She took only two steps in the air before she stumbled forward due to excessive force.

Just as she was about to hit a tall pine tree on the edge of the cliff, Gu Xu dodged and blocked her way in time.

So, she was caught off guard and fell into Gu Xu's arms.

The moment their chests touched, Xiao Wanjun's cheeks turned red instantly and her heart pounded as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I didn't mean to offend you. I just accidentally..."

She apologized repeatedly in a panic and tried to break free from Gu Xu's arms.

"Don't move, silly girl," Gu Xu smiled faintly, holding her waist with his strong arms, and slowly descending from the air with her, "You haven't even tested how long the energy can last, and you flew so far alone in the puppet. If I weren't here, wouldn't you be stranded in the wilderness?"
