The branch that Shengqi had landed on was directly broken under the huge reaction force, and Shengqi himself crossed the nearly ten feet distance between himself and Suzaku, the mechanism, in the blink of an eye.
The huge giant sword struck straight at one of the wings of the mechanical Suzaku.
Seeing Sheng Qi approaching, Thief Zhi's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he quickly slapped Master Ben on the shoulder, "Quickly! Pull it up quickly!"
"I'm doing it!!!" Master Ben gritted his teeth, with a ferocious look on his face. He firmly pulled the joystick back with his hands and responded bitterly.
However, the Suzaku mechanism is not a helicopter, and the height cannot be raised just by pulling it up. Master Ben had already reacted as quickly as possible, but the Suzaku was too late to raise it.
The giant sword hit Suzaku's wing as expected. The sword that looked like a door panel showed astonishing destructive power. It almost cut off Suzaku's wing in a series of stabbing sounds.
One wing was damaged and the lift was insufficient. Suzaku immediately became unbalanced, staggered, turned around and dived downwards.
Master Ben tried his best to pull the Suzaku in the direction and barely managed to prevent it from crashing on the spot, but he could not stop the violent shaking of the fuselage.
The rogue planter behind him caused Suzaku to stagger around.
Fortunately, as a master of light kung fu, his lower body skills were very good, and after the initial rush, he was able to steady his steps.
But the Thousand Machines Copper Plate in his arms was not as stable as a rock. During a certain shaking of the rogue planters, it shook out of his arms and spun to the ground.
Thief Zhi didn't expect that he would be attacked while flying in the sky, so he didn't put the Thousand Machine Copper Plate away on purpose, he just stuffed it into his arms casually and that was it.
Something happened now.
Seeing that he was about to miss the goal he had been working on all night, he became anxious.
In this hurry, he no longer cared about the danger or not, and jumped forward directly, chasing after the Qianji Copper Plate.
Master Ben turned his head and saw this scene, and he only had time to stretch out a hand in a helpless blocking gesture:
"Come back, Xiaozhi!"
This was obviously of no use, so Thief Zhi still chased the plummeting Thousand Machine Copper Plate without hesitation, and burrowed into the dense forest below.
"oops!"
Seeing that the situation was lost, Master Ben could only scream helplessly, and then quickly left in the Suzaku, which was barely able to fly.
It's not that he's selling out his teammates, it's just that it's useless for him to stay as an old man.
The opponent is the notorious Black Swordsman. Bandit Zhi will definitely be unable to defeat him, and even this old man cannot be defeated. The only way to save the situation is for him to run back to the stronghold for help.
He didn't dare to delay for a moment, for fear that he would be too late to call for help and the thieves would be stunned on the spot.
………………
Songhai City, General Mansion.
At this time, the General's Mansion was brightly lit and filled with solemnity.
Looking down from a high position, I saw that there were soldiers patrolling or standing guard almost everywhere, covering the entire general's mansion in a dense manner.
Not only the General's Palace, but also Songhai City was under martial law. The entrances and exits of the city gates were completely sealed, and the number of soldiers patrolling the streets increased by almost three times.
In fact, Meng Tian knew very well that this kind of control was completely meaningless - people were flying away, so what's the use of blocking the land?
But it was useless, so he had no choice but to put on such a aggressive posture.
This is a matter of attitude.
The thief openly broke into the Thousand Machine Building, took away the empire's important treasure, the Thousand Machine Copper Plate, and finally walked away with a slap on his butt.
From any point of view, this is an absolutely vicious case. As the current defense commander of Songhai City, he must do something.
Paddling openly is a bit ugly in appearance.
At the same time, this is not meaningless at all. At least it can prevent other interested people from taking advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble and prevent further chaos in the city.
Outside the bedroom of Prime Minister Li Si in the General's Mansion, a soldier hurried in.
As soon as he came in, he saw Li Si, who was neatly dressed and standing in the outer room. He quickly bowed and saluted:
"I am reporting to the Prime Minister that thieves have invaded the Thousand Machine Tower and have stolen the Thousand Machine Copper Plate."
Li Si frowned when he heard the news.
When the commotion in the General's Mansion first broke out, he had guessed that something had happened in the Thousand Machine Tower, but he still didn't expect that the Thousand Machine Copper Plate could be stolen so easily.
But like Meng Tian, whether the Thousand Machines Copper Plate is lost or not is no longer important to Li Si.
Although I'm a little unhappy,...if you lose it, just lose it.
Li Si turned to ask the question that really needed his attention, "His Royal Highness was not disturbed, was he?"
It's also a meaningless question, but just like Meng Tian's control, Li Si must have this attitude.
The soldier quickly replied, "Replying to your lord, your highness is well and well. General Meng Tian has personally led a large number of troops to protect you."
"The general has also ordered that additional guards be deployed here to ensure your safety."
"Okay." Li Si nodded, "Your Majesty, you just have nothing to worry about."
"Go and tell General Meng for me, thank you for his protection, but the young master's safety is the most important, I don't need to worry about him here."
"Yes!" The soldier saluted, accepted the order, and immediately retreated.
Li Si stood there and thought for a moment, wondering what he was planning. After a while, he turned around and walked towards the inner room.
At this moment, an evil wind suddenly blew into the house, and all the lit lights and candles were extinguished in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, the only thing left in the room was the bright white moonlight projected from the window.
Li Si's footsteps suddenly stopped, his face remained as usual, and his eyes glanced around.
In this case, there is no coincidence or accident. I'm afraid he has a 'guest' coming to visit.
Sure enough, with a squeaking and rubbing sound, a dark figure suddenly appeared in the room.
Through the pale moonlight, one could vaguely see that the other party was dressed in a jet-black robe from head to toe, as well as a dazzling streak of white hair spreading from the edge of the hood on his head.
………………
The dense forest on the outskirts of Songhai City.
The red bird had flown away, leaving only two people in the forest.
Shengqi's burly and handsome figure stood in the forest, the moonlight passed through the gaps in the branches, casting his shadow on the ground.
Behind a tree dozens of steps behind him, the rogue planters were pressed against the trunk of the tree, slowing down his breathing and tightening the Thousand Machine Copper Plate in his arms.
Now he is basically blocked by Shengqi.
If it were in an open space, it would not be too easy for him to get rid of Sheng Qi. Even if he goes up against the brothers Mo Crow and Bai Feng with his straight-line speed, he is not weak!
The problem is that the current environment is a complex dense forest.
It must be emphasized again that Sheng Qi definitely chose the ambush location carefully.
This area is the largest forest in the suburbs of Songhai City, with tall trees and dense forests, and a complex environment.
In this environment, he simply couldn't use the Lightning Walk with all his strength.
Of course, the most important thing is that, as mentioned before, the Lightning God Walk puts a heavy load on Thief Zhi's body and cannot be used casually.
He spent a lot of energy during his previous entanglement with Bai Feng.
At this point, it seemed that everything was beyond its capabilities.
