Chapter 1518
James was backed to a corner by the steel web. As the web slowly contracted, he found himself confined in a space that slowly
diminished in size. James catalyzed True Energy and struck the web. However, the web was extremely durable. After being
pushed away by James’ True Energy, it slowly contracted once more and trapped James firmly inside.
Though James had the Invincible Body Siddhi, the bronze halo on the surface of his skin was already showing cracks. The steel
wire was now in contact with his body.
A vein popped out in his neck, and he performed the Invincible Body Siddhi in its peak form. No matter how bizarre the steel wire
was, it could not trap him inside.
“Curse you!” James roared, and power exploded from within his body. The web immediately shattered.
This scene was captured by the surveillance camera.
Upon seeing this, Ezekiel said praisingly, “Not bad... As expected of the Invincible Body Siddhi... It was able to shatter my
Thousand-Machinery Web. However, this is only just the beginning. I’m curious to see how long more he can last.”
James could finally have a brief respite after shattering the Thousand-Machinery Web. He wiped off the sweat on his forehead
and scanned his surroundings.
He was surrounded by stone walls on all sides. Previously, he could not destroy them even using the Sword Energy of the
Thirteen Heavenly Swords.
James did not understand anything about Magic Circles or their theories and principles. He headed toward the blocked
passageway with caution. Then, he catalyzed True Heavenly Energy and struck with all his might.
Boom!
Powerful force struck the wall. In that instant, the earth shook.
However, the wall was unscathed.
“Damn it, what the hell is this wall made of? Why can’t I destroy it no matter how hard I try?”
James was getting anxious. Apart from him, everyone else had been captured. He had to find the exit as soon as possible and
save them all, or else their lives could be in danger. He was here to save the abducted martial artists. Even if he could not
accomplish his objective, he should at least bring those he brought alongside him back home safely.
As he contemplated how to make his escape, he could vaguely hear the sound of cogwheels coming
from somewhere.
Then, the iron door before him opened, and stone figures armed with swords charged in.
Meanwhile, in the other room...
Ezekiel said smilingly, “These stone figures were specially created to defeat powerful martial artists.”
Lucjan looked at the eighteen stone figures through the monitor screen. He was puzzled, ‘How did these stone figures move?’
As if sensing the confusion in Lucjan’s mind, Ezekiel said while smiling, “They are created through the combination of ancient
engineering and high technology. In essence, they are robots. However, they are fundamentally different in many regards. Just
sit back and watch the show.”
“Mhm.” Lucjan nodded his head.
As the stone figures charged at James, the earth seemed to shudder. Seeing this, James unconsciously staggered backward.
However, as he accidentally stepped into the underground palace, the Magic Circle was activated once more, and countless
arrows were fired toward him.
James catalyzed the Invincible Body Siddhi and deflect the arrows.
At that moment, the eighteen stone figures charged at him.
James wanted to seize the opportunity and charge out of the iron door. However, almost immediately, the iron door slammed
shut.
A stone figure came swinging with its stone sword.
Unafraid, James raised his hand and blocked the attack. At that moment, he felt a terrifying pressure. Unable to withstand it, he
hurriedly stepped back and dodged the attack. At the same time, he struck the stone figure with his palm.
The stone figure staggered backward. However, its body was unscathed.
