Chapter 43: The Heavenly Puppet Sect is skilled at nesting dolls
The opponent had clearly discovered they were being followed and deliberately lured them here. This secluded place was perfect for murder and corpse disposal.
He cupped his fists towards the front and said, "Fellow Daoist, we are outer disciples of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, here to manage the order of Linjiang City. We mean no harm. Please show yourself."
No response.
Yu Qiang sneered, "Senior Brother Zhao, your words are too formal. They might not understand. Let me try."
He stepped forward and shouted towards the house in front, "Shorty, you have three breaths to come out and accept questioning, or you\'ll end up like this dog!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his finger, and a sharp light struck the black dog that had just urinated.
"Awwooo!"
The black dog let out a miserable cry, its body split in two, blood flowing everywhere."One breath!" Yu Qiang said coldly.
The black dog\'s body twitched, then lay motionless, lifeless.
A flash of surprise crossed Yu Qiang\'s eyes. He took two steps forward and said, "Two breaths!"
Suddenly, the front half of the black dog\'s corpse flew out, its mouth wide open, biting towards Yu Qiang.
Yu Qiang\'s lips curled into a mocking smile, "Did you think I wouldn\'t know it was you?"
He patted his Storage Bag, and a large number of lizard puppets flew out, spitting fireballs towards the black dog\'s body while he swiftly retreated.
He had suspected the dwarf\'s height during the chase. The sudden disappearance and the appearance of a big black dog made it clear. There was no doubt; he immediately guessed that the black dog was the dwarf cultivator!
It seemed like he was venting his anger on the black dog, but he was actually testing it.
The only surprise was that the dog didn\'t dodge and was directly split in half.
Now it made sense; the dog wasn\'t dead at all!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The fireballs spat by the lizards exploded near the old black dog, creating a large burst of blood.
The house collapsed, smoke and dust rose, and pieces of flesh and bone, mixed with blood, flew everywhere.
Strangely, the pieces of the corpse didn\'t die but instead flew towards Yu Qiang.
"What an evil technique!" Yu Qiang squinted his eyes.
Xu Hei, hiding in the shadows, watched the scattered pieces of the corpse in the sky and thought to himself, "So that\'s what a rogue cultivator means."
"Plop, plop, plop..."
Some pieces of flesh splattered onto the lizard puppets, causing all of them to stop moving and lose their luster.
These lizards were unique secret techniques of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, mechanical puppet beasts. Almost every disciple of the sect had at least a hundred of them.
At this moment, any puppet that was stained with Hei Huang\'s blood became ineffective.
Seeing this, the horse-faced youth Yu Qiang\'s eyes were full of seriousness. He took out a giant frog puppet, which swallowed the flying pieces of flesh in one gulp.
But in the next second, the giant frog puppet lost its luster and disintegrated into powder, with the flesh inside shooting out towards him.
"What?"
Yu Qiang was horrified. This giant frog puppet was one of his trump cards, invincible below Foundation Establishment, yet it was defeated in one breath?
Without hesitation, he turned to flee, but the street ahead turned into a sea of blood mist, extremely viscous, like a bloodthirsty maw, sealing his escape route.
"I am a disciple of the Heavenly Puppet Sect. Do you dare to kill me?" Yu Qiang shouted angrily.
The handsome young man Zhao Yiduo came to Yu Qiang\'s side, holding a wind sail. With a vigorous shake, a strong wind blew away a large part of the blood mist.
"Junior Brother Yu, no need to waste words with him. Let\'s join forces and kill this thief!" Zhao Yiduo shouted.
"Alright!"
Yu Qiang gritted his teeth, took out a large number of puppets, and threw them out. Zhao Yiduo also cast spells, engaging in a fierce battle.
As time passed, more and more blood mist appeared. The two of them gradually got injured, their True Qi chaotic. Defeat was only a matter of time.
Xu Hei glanced at the situation, sighed, and turned to leave.
The outcome was decided. These two were doomed, with no chance of victory!
"This old dog has become so powerful, silently and insidiously. Damn it!"
Xu Hei gritted his teeth. Hei Huang\'s strength gave him a sense of urgency. He couldn\'t fall behind; he had to become even stronger than the old dog.
The time limit for the Invisibility Talisman was up. Xu Hei exited invisibility and left the East City Street, planning to return and wait.
After crossing two streets, he was about to leave the East District.
Suddenly, Xu Hei stopped in his tracks.
His gaze fixed on a figure in the corner ahead, motionless.
It was a beggar, disheveled and dirty, with an indistinguishable appearance, seemingly ordinary.
However, the beggar\'s fingers were twitching.
Like playing a zither, his hands moved rhythmically, as if plucking invisible strings in the air.
Xu Hei crept closer, but the beggar remained motionless, completely unaware of Xu Hei\'s approach.
"This person is... no, something\'s wrong!"
Xu Hei didn\'t rashly extend his Divine Sense, just quietly observed.
The beggar\'s attention was entirely focused, oblivious to the surroundings, as if his mind was elsewhere.
A sudden flash of insight hit Xu Hei\'s mind, bringing up the image of the handsome young man.
Initially, when the horse-faced youth wanted to pursue, the handsome young man had advised against it, clearly not a reckless person.
And finally, when the horse-faced youth was defeated and tried to retreat, using the Heavenly Puppet Sect\'s name to threaten, the handsome young man instead urged him to fight to the death, which was somewhat illogical.
This only indicated one thing: the handsome young man was confident.
Why was he so confident?
Xu Hei\'s mind buzzed, thinking of a possibility.
"Could that handsome young man be a fake?"
It\'s said that the puppet techniques of the Heavenly Puppet Sect can create puppets identical to humans, indistinguishable from the real thing. If so, it made sense.
This beggar in front of him was the real body!
"What if this beggar is also a fake?"
Xu Hei didn\'t act rashly, to avoid alerting the real mastermind.
He immediately took action, spreading his Divine Sense to search the surroundings.
The real body and the puppet couldn\'t be too far apart.
After searching, Xu Hei confirmed there were no other suspicious individuals nearby, only this beggar.
"This person might have life-saving means. When I strike, it must be fatal, leaving no chance of survival!"
Xu Hei immediately moved, painfully plucking three of his scales to set up traps around.
At the same time, he arranged all the offensive Talismans he had obtained earlier: Fire Explosion Talisman, Wind Blade Talisman, Thunder Strike Talisman...
Still feeling unsafe, he took out two Magical Treasures, the Thunder Seal and the Beast Control Ring.
Finally, he climbed to the wall behind the person, his throat swelling, True Qi rapidly compressing in his mouth.
This was his strongest attack, the ultimate deluxe version of the Fireball Technique.
