Chapter 152 - Golems

Mediocre? 9th-rank Array Formation Maker? Xia Xinyue didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry when she heard his answer. And looking at his serious expression, Xia Xinyue could only roll her eyes secretly. ’Since when did a 9th-rank Array Formation Maker become weak?’ Xia Xinyue felt a bit agitated in her heart.

She couldn’t be blamed since Array Formation Makers are rare in Nuar and they were even rarer than the Alchemists, that’s why they were treated with respect anywhere they go. Even in their Ice Cloud Sword Sect, the number of Array Formation Makers could only be counted with one hand. And now, Jiu Shen was actually telling her that a 9th-rank Array Formation Maker was weak... Just who was he?

"Lord Sect Master..." Xia Xinyue’s face twitched but she didn’t know what to say after seeing Jiu Shen’s calm but handsome face. In the end, she could only sigh and shake her head.

Jiu Shen ignored Xia Xinyue and slightly frowned when he felt the situation in the ninth level of the mysterious cave.

Upon seeing the serious look of Jiu Shen, Xia Xinyue suddenly became tense. Throughout the whole journey inside this cave, she had never seen Jiu Shen react that way, so she couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous when she saw his expression. She immediately took out her sword as she surveyed their surroundings with a wary gaze.

In front of them was a massive stone door that was about ten meters tall and five meters wide. The surface of the stone door was covered by a layer of dust signifying the number of years it was left unattended.

After looking at this stone door, she didn’t realize that anything was amiss, but she was somehow certain that behind this stone door was very dangerous. What else could make Jiu Shen look perturbed?

The reason why Jiu Shen was displaying this kind of expression was because he felt the fluctuation of a few life forces behind the stone door. It means, there were living beings behind this door, but what kind of creatures could survive for tens of thousands of years?

He placed his hands on the stone door and pushed it with all his strength, making the huge stone door emit a sound. Not long after that, as if it could no longer hold against Jiu Shen’s strength, the stone door slowly crumbled into pieces. Huge pieces of broken stones crushed the place where the stone door was previously located.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Jiu Shen grabbed Xia Xinyue and lifted her away before they would be buried by those huge stone debris.

Dust and smoke enveloped the place ahead of them, but Jiu Shen could now clearly see the creatures in front by using his spiritual power.

"Golems? Hm, I see." He muttered with a bit of a surprise. Golems were stone creatures with sentience, but their intelligence was only similar to a three year old kid and their procreation level wasn’t comparable to humans, making golems very rare even in the Primordial God Realm. However, the golems in the Primordial God Realm were not weak and some even had developed their intellect to a certain extent. Some stronger golems could even speak like normal humans and their strength was also unfathomable...

After the dust and the cloud of smoke subsided, Jiu Shen and Xia Xinyue saw five gigantic creatures made from several stacks of stones. Xia Xinyue’s eyes widened when she saw the golems since it was her first time seeing these strange creatures. "What an ugly creature..." She muttered unconsciously as she stared at those golems.

Jiu Shen smirked when he heard her words. He then took a glance at those golems and discovered that their strength was comparable to a body enhancer at the 9th-rank Saint realm. The thought of taming them suddenly came inside his head, but he hurriedly discarded the idea since taming these creatures would be hard and needed quite a long period of time. He didn’t want to stay longer in this place just to get his hands on these creatures. Furthermore, he already had a few strong subordinates working under him, so he didn’t really need to tame these ugly creatures.

After sensing the arrival of the intruders, the red eyes of the five golems suddenly flickered and their stone-like faces revealed a look of fury. And with a stomp of their foot, they madly charged towards the pair, creating a massive disturbance within the cave.

Rumble. Rumble. Rumble.

The cave shook as if there was a strong earthquake after the five golems initiated their attack. Seeing this, Jiu Shen’s figure changed once more as his silver eyes slowly turned golden and a pair of pitch-black wings sprouted behind his back. However, Jiu Shen didn’t take out his Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword this time since physical attacks were useless on these golems and they would only regenerate themselves. Only elemental attacks were effective on them.

Xia Xinyue didn’t wait for Jiu Shen’s warning and she hurriedly distanced herself several dozen meters away. She wouldn’t be useful in this fight since these creatures were at the 9th-rank Saint realm, so she sensibly backed away to avoid distracting Jiu Shen.

A golem pounced towards Jiu Shen and lifted its huge mountain-like fist, causing the air to produce a violent swooshing sound as its fist struck towards Jiu Shen.

Swoosh!

Jiu Shen flapped his wings and evaded the attack nimbly without a change in his expression, causing the golem to hit the empty ground.

Bang!

A huge crater was formed where the golem’s fist struck.

The four other golems were not idle and they hurriedly lifted their gigantic fists to punch Jiu Shen, but he was able to evade their attack with great ease.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

These golems might be strong and had tough bodies, but their speed and mobility was its weakness, making it more vulnerable. Just that, one needs to have a strong elemental prowess if they wanted to kill these creatures.

Jiu Shen waved his arms in midair producing hundreds of black flames that caused the temperature of the entire place to rise higher.

"Too bad I’m in a hurry. If not, I would have chosen to bring you guys with me..." Jiu Shen muttered as he fired those black flames towards the golems.
