Just as Stout said, these forty to fifty ‘figures’ were indeed wooden men!
Their faces and heights were all the same, with well-proportioned bodies and joints that moved freely, very lifelike.
In addition, each wooden man held a wooden sword over three feet long.
“Stout, come back!” Billy shouted in a deep voice.
He vaguely sensed a strong pressure emanating from these wooden men.
As soon as Billy’s voice fell, the wooden men moved, dispersing in all directions, then surrounding everyone in the middle.
Next moment, one of the wooden men rushed towards the nearest Soul Chaser with a wooden sword in hand.
“Back off!” Soul Chaser said in a deep voice, unleashing eighty to ninety percent of his power to slash with a blade of light.
Clang… to everyone’s surprise, the attacks from both sides collided, causing Soul Chaser and the wooden man to back off more than ten steps.
With just one move, it was a draw!
Everyone couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment.
You see, with Soul Chaser’s current strength, even if he only utilized eighty to ninety percent of his power, it would be enough to slay an eighth-rank Divine Realm expert.
But now, he was being pushed back by a wooden man for such a distance.
It was simply unbelievable!
Just as Soul Chaser regained his footing, the forty to fifty wooden men simultaneously launched an attack, swords in hand, rushing towards Billy and his companions in a startling formation.
Naturally, Billy and his companions didn’t just stand still and engaged in battle.
Bang… in the next moment, both sides were embroiled in a fierce fight.
Before long, one wooden man charging towards Billy was knocked back hundreds of meters by a single palm from Billy.
However, after tumbling over a few times, the wooden man stood up again, without any pause, and charged once more.
“Huh?” Witnessing this scene, Billy was slightly taken aback.
The palm strike he just struck would have been impossible for even a first-rank Sacred Realm expert to withstand!
If these wooden men were merely wooden puppets manipulated by mechanisms, they would have been shattered to pieces long ago!
But now, they showed no signs of damage at all.
Obviously, these wooden men were definitely enchanted with an array, or else this situation wouldn’t be possible!
“These wooden men are like unkillable little strong bugs!” on the other side, Black Tortoise and Ian Blade exclaimed simultaneously.
“They are imbued with an array, brute force won’t work!” Opal shouted loudly, “Billy Boy, find the array on their bodies!”
“Give me two minutes!” Billy responded promptly.
“Alright!” Opal replied and swiftly moved to stand by Billy’s side, shielding him.
At the same time, she shouted to Casey and Harleen, “Don’t try to fight them head-on, it’s useless, just stall for time!”
“Got it!” everyone replied in unison.
After a few rounds of fighting, everyone realized that these wooden men were extraordinary and virtually indestructible!
If they continued to battle like this, even if they didn’t die under the wooden swords of their opponents, they would be worn out to death!
“Interesting!” Billy’s eyes lit up after about ten minutes, “Let’s give it a try!”
“Done?” Opal asked while fending off the wooden men’s attacks.
“We can try!” Billy confirmed.
Next, taking a few steps forward, Billy knocked down another wooden man with a palm.
As the wooden man tried to get up, Billy swiftly approached.
Then, he stepped on the wooden man’s chest,
But as soon as his foot landed, the wooden man swung his sword towards Billy’s ankle.
Billy furrowed his brows slightly and had to move his foot away from the attack.
The wooden man then rolled up to stand on its feet and thrust its sword.
Billy furrowed his brows again and knocked the wooden man away with another strike.
“Stout, Judge, come over here!” Billy called out to Stout and Judge.
“Got it!” Stout and Judge each knocked back a wooden man charging towards them and then quickly ran over.
Meanwhile, the wooden man that Billy knocked away had gotten up from the ground.
But as soon as it tried to stand, it was knocked back again by Billy’s palm.
Stout and Judge understood what Billy wanted, so they rushed over and pinned down the hands and feet of the wooden man.
Despite the wooden man struggling, it had little effect.
Billy then enveloped the wooden man with his spiritual power.
“All set, release it!” a minute later, Billy ordered.
“Okay!” Stout and Judge simultaneously let go of their grip.
The wooden man got up, and its wooden sword swiftly thrust towards Judge on the left.
However, just as it started to move, Billy flicked a strand of energy from his hand into the wooden man’s eye socket.
The next moment, the wooden man fell stiffly to the ground, motionless.
“Done?” Stout said, “Let me try!”
As he spoke, he brought his foot down.
Crack!
A crisp sound rang out as the wooden man instantly disintegrated into a pile of rotten wood.
“Finally done!” Judge sighed in relief.
With the array eyes found on the wooden men, the rest of the task was straightforward.
Everyone wielded their swords and daggers, piercing the eyes of the wooden men with sharp precision.
Once the array was destroyed, the wooden men turned into mere chunks of wood.
After about ten minutes, all forty to fifty wooden men lay scattered on the ground.
“I wonder who is the pervert who created these, if you don’t understand arrays, you would have been dragged to death!” after everyone took a breather, Bob said in a speechless tone.
“Legend has it that the Star Studded Sect, not only excelled in martial arts strength but also had unmatched array skills, and it seems to be true!” Amber remarked.
“I reckon it will be even tougher inside the tower!” Harleen couldn’t help but comment as she looked towards the tower.
“Boss, how about we don’t go in and just demolish the tower from outside!” White Tiger suggested to Billy.
“White Tiger, not to rain on your parade, but I doubt you can even shake a piece of wood on the tower!” Bob retorted.
“Most likely, that tower is also likely embedded with an array!”
“Consider what I said as never mentioned!” White Tiger’s mouth twitched.
Everyone agreed with Bob’s statement, so they were too lazy to even try.
“Let’s go, let’s go inside and take a look!” Billy then led everyone towards the tower.
