Chapter 17 Loom
After looking at Wang Liang with eyes as if he were looking at a dead person, the flying assassin raised his hand and pushed Marco's body off the box.
At the same time, the flying assassin seemed to be taking a deep breath, as if he was trying to reduce his weight, as if he wanted the kites flying in the sky to take him away with them.
At this time, the paladins and white-robed people who saw the situation here shouted.
“Stop him!”
"We can't let them take the box away."
"Leave the box here!"
But they were too far away, and the camels were in a state of chaos. They couldn't even reach the box, let alone rush in even if they wanted to.
Those who could fly were held back by other flying assassins at the risk of their lives.
Just as the flying assassins were about to take the box away, Wang Liang heard the voice of Miss Guitou.
"I'll give you the blessing, you go ahead!"
Wang Liang didn't understand what was going on yet, he just felt several warm currents coming from his body, and his strength and agility were significantly improved.
This startled Wang Liang, but he knew he didn't have time to think about it.
He rushed forward with his new-found strength, stepped onto the back of a camel, and jumped towards the box that was about to be taken away.
The flying assassin standing on the box saw Wang Liang's action. He held the box with one hand and fired a shot at Wang Liang with the other hand.
It was a thing like a sleeve arrow, which was ejected by a mechanism. In the hands of a master like the Flying Assassin, it was quite lethal .
Wang Liang ignored all this. After he jumped up, he raised the killing knife in both hands, and without caring about the exposed chest, he chopped down at the flying assassin on the box.
This move was like splitting Mount Hua with force, and it contained all of Wang Liang's strength.
Even though the sleeve arrow pierced him, he didn't care, and even his movements didn't change.
With this chop, the flying assassin was split into two pieces on the spot.
But Wang Liang jumped up to commit suicide. No, it was Wang Liang who jumped up to attack, not for this.
With this strike of the sword, he only killed one flying assassin, but the box would still be taken away.
Therefore, all the strength of Wang Liang's knife was actually used on the box.
After he chopped the flying assassin into two pieces with this strike of the sword, he did not put the sword away. Instead, he exerted force on his waist and squeezed out the last bit of his strength.
The chopping knife successfully cut into the box.
Wang Liang's original plan was to split the box in half. It would be better to have the contents of the box scattered all over the floor than for the entire box to be taken away by someone.
But he never expected that as soon as he split the box open, he would feel that he had hit metal.
Although his sword was of good quality, it was unable to cut through metals like pig iron, otherwise the Mo Dao would not have been lost in the later period.
After this chop, Wang Liang's heart skipped a beat. He already felt that he had chopped something that could not be cut.
At this time, his experience of using the Mo Dao made him instinctively pull it out.
At this time, several flying assassins in the sky also discovered that something was wrong, and one of them jumped down, ready to protect the box from being destroyed by Wang.
It took only a few seconds from the time they discovered the situation below to the time they jumped down , but Wang Liang had already completed the action of drawing the sword.
He pulled out the knife that had been used to cut the creature, pressed his body against the handle and turned it downward, and his whole body fell under the box.
Then he swung his hands forward and moved the sword forward, cutting open the bottom of the box as well.
At this time, except for the side facing away from Wang Liang, the top, front and bottom of the box were all cut open by Wang Liang.
Coupled with the force of several kites in the sky, the box was torn into two halves, and an extremely large object fell out of the box.
Wang Liang happened to be standing under the box. When the thing fell down, Wang Liang felt a darkness on his head. He rolled on the ground and moved away from that position. Then he heard a loud bang, and a strange machine that was seven meters long and three meters wide fell to the ground.
The machine looked like a loom made of wood, but the wood had an ancient feel. There were many balls of thread on the loom. After they fell to the ground, Wang Liang even saw that the loom was weaving by itself.
"This? Is this a ghost loom? How can this thing move by itself?"
At this time , several paladins and white-robed men had also rushed over. The paladin blocked the flying assassin who jumped down, while the white-robed man quickly took action, as if trying to stop the operation of the loom.
"Oh my god, it's this thing. We are going to be rich."
Zhao Gongming's voice suddenly rang in Wang Liang's ears. Wang Liang turned his head and found that Zhao Gongming had also rushed in. He looked at the loom being handled by several men in white robes, with a strange look in his eyes.
"Do you recognize this?"
"That's definitely... No, I understand a little bit, a little bit."
Zhao Gongming had an expression that said, "I'm not bragging, I'll wait for you to beg me."
Wang Liang was also used to just listening without asking questions if he didn't understand something. So I just pretended that I understood, and the situation became a little awkward for a moment.
Fortunately, Miss Guitou ran in at this time and asked in a delicate voice, "Mr. Zhao, what is this?"
"This is the legendary Loom of Destiny. You must have heard of it."
The ghost-headed girl shook her head. Wang Liang controlled his urge to shake his head and listened calmly.
“Well, this is actually a very magical artifact that predicts destiny. According to legend, it was made based on the principle of the fate spinning machine in the hands of the three goddesses of fate.
The original goal was to weave a better destiny for some people, but that kind of thing is impossible to accomplish, and in the end, this is the only thing that was accomplished.
This thing will run automatically as long as it is activated by the national destiny. I heard that the cloth woven is usually white, which means nothing is happening. If a golden name appears, it means that this person is beneficial to the national destiny. If a black name appears, it means that this person is harmful to the national destiny.
I understand. No wonder the Church sent this thing out. For the Church, it was just a means to deal with pagans, but in Kubilai's hands, it was a divine weapon to continue the country's destiny. It seems that the Pope really spent a lot of money on it."
"What's up with those people?"
Wang Liang pointed at the flying assassins who jumped down from the sky. When they saw the Loom of Destiny fell to the ground, they had no time to return and all jumped off the kites, trying to snatch the Loom of Destiny.
"I don't know. How can I know what's going on here? But it seems that those guys in white robes should know. We..."
