Volume 21, Chapter 1 [Disciples of the Puppet Sect]
In the depths of the swamp, high-level monsters are everywhere, and monks who have not reached the stage of spiritual transformation will basically die if they come here.
However, there is something unusual right now. A woman has been staying here for nearly three months. She has killed hundreds of high-level monsters and thousands of intermediate monsters, and harvested a large number of high-quality demon pills.
She sat cross-legged in a relatively flat open space in the swamp, surrounded by a circle of "monster beasts" that seemed to be in a stationary state to protect her. If you look carefully, you will find that these "monster beasts" are not real.
But a puppet.
It's just that these puppets are so lifelike and lifelike that they can almost look real.
The eyes of these puppets would flash with strange lights from time to time, as if they were on guard for this woman.
At some point, a water pattern quietly appeared nearby, as if something had merged into the water, and then slowly flowed over.
The water patterns are so subtle that they are almost impossible to detect, even if you use your spiritual sense to detect them.
When the water pattern got closer and closer, about thirty meters away from the woman, suddenly a shadow broke through the water, and then a bloody mouth bit towards her. The speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to avoid.
.
There is no doubt that this is a high-level monster named "Water Beast".
It has a head like a sea animal, a long mouth, and particularly well-developed sharp teeth. Its trunk is extremely strong and has lizard-like limbs, but its lower body is like a snake, with a thick tail.
This water ripple beast has been observing the woman for many days and knows that she is not easy to mess with, so it is lurking around. It is too eager for the demon pills in the woman's hands. If it can be swallowed by it, it will gain another chance in a few years.
Evolution, which is irresistible to any monster.
Only by constantly evolving can monsters gain more longevity, more powerful abilities, and at the same time be able to transform and create a new monster clan.
Almost in the next second, when the water ripple beast burst out of the water, the eyes of the originally motionless puppet demon beasts turned into scarlet red, and then their bodies suddenly swelled, almost doubling in size.
Then they all raised their heads, opened their mouths, and instantly bit various parts of the body of the water-stained beast.
The puppet beast's reaction was quite precise, as if it had been rehearsed, and it was exactly the same.
The water ripple beast was bitten by more than a dozen puppet beasts and began to struggle. Suddenly a cloud appeared over the swamp, and then there was a rumble of thunder. This water ripple beast actually had the talent to summon the power of thunder.
boom!
A bolt of thunder fell and struck a group of puppet beasts. The puppet beasts were suddenly scattered and fell into the water and mud. The water ripple beasts immediately escaped from the trap and immediately raised their necks and opened their mouths.
Suddenly, streaks of thunder fell into its mouth, and it quickly condensed into a ball of thunder. Then it opened its mouth and spit it out, towards the woman who slowly opened her eyes.
The woman was dressed in a hooded black robe, with only the lower half of her face exposed. The tip of her nose and chin looked very delicate, and her skin was slightly pale, possibly due to years of covering up.
However, the only fly in the ointment is that there is a scar or birthmark on the apple muscles of both sides of her cheeks, which looks a bit ugly.
"Bastard, do you really think I didn't notice you?" After saying that, a burst of black mist rose up in front of the woman, and then turned into several chains in an instant, and then the chains formed a chain network similar to a spider web, which just happened to
The spitting thunderball was caught in the net.
Thunder shot out, and the power of thunder quickly flowed along the chain towards the woman. However, there seemed to be some treasure on the woman's body, and the power of thunder could not invade.
Soon, another group of black mist appeared in the chain net, turning into a crack, swallowing the thunderball in, and then dispelled it.
Seeing that the thunder blow it had worked so hard to condense was ineffective, the water ripple beast immediately roared and rushed forward in person. However, at this time, it quickly found that it was bitten and held back by the dozen or so puppet beasts.
.
Although the talent for summoning the power of thunder is powerful, it also has a time limit and cannot be summoned all the time. At this moment, the water ripple beast has to use these puppet beasts to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Its huge body and tyrannical strength are indeed amazing, but the defense of these puppet beasts is also amazing. Even if they are attacked, they cannot cause much damage, and unlike living creatures, they do not need recovery and healing, as long as the mechanisms on their bodies
It can still function. If the spiritual power provided by the spiritual stone is enough, it can always be driven.
As long as the master of the puppet gives an order, these puppet beasts will risk their lives to execute it.
Although the Puppet Beast alone could not defeat the Water Ripple Beast, more than a dozen of them surrounded it and entangled it forcefully, making it extremely annoyed, but there was nothing it could do.
The woman finally took advantage of the time when the puppet beast was holding back the water ripple beast, and quickly drank the elixir prepared three days ago, and then refined it. By this time today, it was already the last moment, and her cultivation level was at three levels.
She made rapid progress in just a few months, breaking through from the early stage of becoming a god to the middle stage in one fell swoop, surpassing her previous decades of hard work hunting monsters outside the swamp.
Finally, when the woman completely refined the vitality contained in the demon pill, her state in the middle stage of becoming a god was stabilized, and a powerful aura swept out, instantly penetrating the water ripple beast.
The water ripple beast immediately felt the crisis of its instinct and quickly turned around and left. However, the puppet beasts around it still entangled it tightly, making its retreat speed very slow.
roar!
Finally, the water ripple beast once again used the power of thunder. This time, not only a cloud layer, but the sky for ten miles around was shrouded in thunder clouds, and a large amount of thunder power gathered.
The woman stood up and felt the difference in the power of thunder this time. It seemed that the water beast was already in a desperate posture.
"The beasts listen to the order and form the Pan-Moon Formation!" Following the woman's command, the puppet beasts that had been clinging to the Water Ripple Beast let go of it and quickly climbed up on each limb, moving in all directions around them.
The water ripple beast was hesitant for a moment, not sure whether it should catch up, but at this time it had already used all its strength to summon the power of thunder, and it was unwilling to escape, so it continued to stay where it was, while looking at
Locked in the woman.
The woman's hands cooperated with her arms and began to change gestures. Suddenly, a black aura was continuously shot out by her, falling in all directions.
Soon, bursts of spiritual light continued to rise from those directions, echoing her from a distance, and then as the black spiritual light emitted by the woman passed over those locations one by one, the last black wave-like line rushed in.
The water ripple beast felt the crisis again, and did not care about condensing the power of thunder anymore. It stood up directly, its forelimbs stretched and expanded, turning into two thick humanoid arms, beating its chest, making a thunderous sound.
At the same time, its size also began to expand, and the long snake-like tail on the lower body gradually turned into humanoid legs. At this time, it was very close to the human form. Except for the monster shape of the head, the body and limbs were not much like those of monks of various races.
Big difference.
"Half-step transformation? Yes, you deserve my full shot." The woman did not feel scared, but a little excited. Being able to encounter such a half-step transformation of the monster also means that its demon elixir is extraordinary.
.
At this moment, the woman has controlled the puppet beast to set up the Panyue Formation, trapping the water ripple beast in the formation.
A black light flashed out from the cuff, and she held it in her hand, turning it into a black ruler about three feet long. This ruler was made of a special material. It seemed light but extremely heavy, and it was impossible to hold it without the incarnation cultivation level.
"Long!" The woman put down the ruler in her hand. It quickly grew in the wind, and suddenly turned into a length of about one foot or two. The surface of the dark ruler turned out to be engraved with a mysterious pattern. With the continuous injection of the woman's spiritual power,
These lines lit up one after another, and a line of spells appeared.
"Today you can die under my Hun Tian Ruler, which is not an insult to your half-step transformation." The woman slapped the end of the ruler with her palm, and the ruler suddenly made a buzzing sound, which seemed very dull and caused the surrounding people to move.
Strong winds blew up, overturning many monsters. Those monsters with insufficient strength fled here one after another, as if they were fleeing.
The heavy black ruler spirit treasure showed an evil aura. Probably the woman used this spirit treasure to kill many creatures, not only monsters, so over a long period of time, an evil aura formed.
Evil spirit has certain benefits in increasing the power of spiritual treasures. People of the demonic way like to cultivate evil spirit to increase the power of weapons. However, non-magic monks often choose to purify the evil spirit from time to time, because the evil spirit is too big, which will make it easy for the monks to control the magic weapon.
Go crazy and fall into the devil's path.
But at this time, the evil spirit on this woman's spiritual treasure has not reached that level, so there is no need to worry too much.
Speaking of which, when the water ripple beast saw the black ruler whizzing towards it, it immediately activated the power of thunder it had summoned so far, and instantly fell on itself, especially on its arms, from the wrists to the palms of its hands.
Suddenly its arms turned into weapons, facing the huge black ruler.
Keng!
Sparks flew everywhere, and the water ripple beast blocked the Huntian Ruler with both hands, and bursts of spiritual power suddenly burst out. The woman also inspired her own spiritual power and poured it into the Huntian Ruler, making the weight of the Huntian Ruler become heavier and heavier.
The water-rippled beast knelt on one knee on the ground.
roar!
The water ripple beast suddenly retreated, then raised its arms high and slashed at the Huntian Ruler.
The swamp suddenly collapsed, and underground water rose into the sky.
The Huntian Ruler suffered a sudden heavy blow and was instantly repelled. At the same time, it was affected by the power of thunder and continued to tremble. The woman quickly sprayed out black smoke, turning the surroundings into chaos.
At this time, the water ripple beast was pursuing victory. Thunder clouds above his head continued to rain down. After being absorbed by him, the thunder energy wrapped around his arms became even larger. Every time he punched out, it would bring a huge impact to the Huntian Ruler.
.
The woman's expression was a little solemn, but she was not panicked. This time she entered the depths of the Molong Pond to break through herself. If she retreated in the face of a more severe test, wouldn't she be living up to her own breakthrough?
"Huntian Ruler, get up!" The woman raised her hand to control the Huntian Ruler to fly up, and then the spiritual power in the form of black mist popped out continuously and submerged into the Huntian Ruler. Soon, the Huntian Ruler expanded again, this time it reached ten
It is about ten feet in length, and even the thunder clouds in mid-air are blocked by this. All the thunder that falls are pulled by the Huntian Ruler and cannot fall into the water ripple beast.
The water-stained beast raised its arms high and let out bursts of anger. Then its eyes fell on the woman, and its figure blurred for a while, and its speed was extremely fast.
brush!
The sharp claws slashed across the woman's cheek with the power of thunder. The woman was startled, but she still relied on her accumulated combat sense to avoid it, but the hood also fell off, revealing her true appearance.
A head of fiery red shiny slightly curly hair appeared in front of her eyes. The woman who raised her head had delicate features and perseverance in her eyes.
If we exclude the scars or birthmarks on both sides of her cheeks, she is undoubtedly a beautiful woman. Unfortunately, the scars are like two bugs crawling on them, making them look ferocious and terrifying.
The water ripple beast raised its arms again and put its fingers together. The nails were like sharp blades that could break gold and crack stones.
Another palm strike struck, or to be precise, it struck, towards the woman's neck.
Buzz…
The woman formed a seal with her hands, and suddenly black mist continuously shot out from the surrounding air. With the triangular drill, it directly penetrated into the limbs of the water ripple beast and hung him up.
"Roar...Desolate...Desolate clan members...kill...kill them..." At this moment, the water ripple beast actually spoke human language. It was really incredible that the monster beast that had not yet completed its transformation actually spoke human language.
After being shocked for a few breaths, the woman put her hood back on and said coldly: "It's a pity that you are going to die in my hands."
"Death... not afraid..." The water ripple beast continued to struggle, calling out to the thunder clouds in the sky, but he soon discovered that the thunder clouds could no longer sense him, and the black mist chains that turned around his body made him unable to activate his spiritual power.
means.
The thundercloud gradually dispersed, and the woman pointed out again. Suddenly, two chains of black mist came from the front and back. Under the unwilling eyes of the water ripple beast, they penetrated his body front and back, not only piercing his heart but also
The vital position also took away his demon elixir from his body.
The water ripple beast lowered its head slumped, and the black mist chain slowly withdrew. The puppet beasts that had just listened to the instructions and ran out returned again, but at this time, these puppet beasts had suffered major damage and needed to be repaired.
The woman put away the demon pill, then put away the puppet beasts one by one, recalled the Hun Tian Ruler in the air, and was about to find a place to repair it.
At this moment, an unexpected breath broke into her sphere of influence, causing her to frown. Right now, her puppet beast still needed to be repaired, and the previous spiritual power loss was huge. If she continued to fight, it might be detrimental to her.
"Brother Rui... is that you?" A woman's voice sounded, it was He Na who rushed here.
Just now, she followed Wang Rui's position and came in this direction, but suddenly she discovered that there was a fierce battle ahead, and the aura of one of them was that of Lei Xiu, so she immediately chased after him.
Later, the aura of Lei Xiu became more and more sluggish, and he was defeated, and finally disappeared, leaving He Na in a state of confusion and desperate to step into other people's territory.
When the Puppet Sect woman saw He Na, her eyes showed coldness, and she said to herself: "A Nascent Soul monk dares to break into this place without permission, and dares to step into my territory, seeking death!"
After saying that, the woman quickly held the Hun Tian Ruler in her hand, her body turned into black mist and dispersed, and then she suddenly came to the position behind He Na, preparing for a sneak attack.
He Na had a creepy feeling, especially the cold feeling on her back. As a swordsman's intuition, she knew that she was being targeted by the opponent, and that the opponent had a strong murderous intention.
"Fellow Taoist, senior... I had no intention of breaking into your territory, just to find someone. Now it seems that I was too worried. There are no friends of mine here." He Na clasped her fists and said to the surroundings, but in fact she
All his spiritual consciousness is placed in the surrounding space behind him.
By scanning the surroundings with her simple consciousness just now, He Na understood that the Lei Xiu just now was not Wang Rui. It was just that she was confused because of concern before, so she misunderstood. But now, she is in danger.
It's no wonder that the other party had just killed a "Lei Xiu". Maybe he was an enemy, but suddenly a stranger broke in. This was actually a big taboo.
Unfortunately, no one spoke to her, which made Ha Na feel that the other party was really murderous.
She could sense that the opponent's strength far exceeded hers, and if she took action forcefully, she would definitely lose.
However, He Na would not surrender. Instead, she quietly moved the Ice Spirit Sword and Shield to her back. At the same time, the Double Dragon Sword in her hand was replaced by the Wind Spirit Sword. In this case, a pair of big swords is not as good as a light short sword.
sword.
He Na continued to speak: "Senior, I have good relations with Xian Fenghai, the leader of the Sword Sect, and my husband is the former leader of the Tiandao Alliance of Dongxuanzhou. I hope that for the sake of both of them, they let me go. I will definitely be grateful to this junior.
Not enough."
When Gong Xuan, the woman from the Puppet Sect lurking in a certain space passage, heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she made a decision.
"Let's not talk about whether what she said is true. If it is false, it doesn't matter. If it is true, then if I let her go, she will definitely complain to her husband and that old thief Xian Fenghai.
Both me and the Puppet Sect will suffer, so it seems that killing her is the most appropriate thing." Thinking of this, Gong Xuan summoned the Huntian Ruler again. This time, she did not release it, but directly held the Huntian Ruler with both hands and used a
He slashed at Ha Na at a tricky angle.
When the murderous intention came, He Na immediately sensed it, causing her to quickly activate her maximum spiritual power and inject it into the Ice Spirit Sword and Shield on her back. The sword and shield suddenly expanded, bursting out with violent cold air. At the same time, the sword blade began to rotate and counterattack.
Assassins attacking it.
collapse!
The Hun Tian Ruler carried a powerful storm and smashed the Ice Spirit Sword and Shield. In front of the Ling Bao, the magic weapon was too fragile. He Na's face turned extremely pale instantly, and her whole body felt like it was falling apart.
Fortunately, the Ice Spirit Sword and Shield resisted this blow, allowing He Na to save her life. She instantly stepped onto the Wind Spirit Sword and fled in the opposite direction.
Gong Xuan glanced at it indifferently, then quickly chased after him with the Huntian Ruler on her shoulders at an extremely fast speed.
At this time, He Na almost began to burn her magic power, reaching the ultimate speed, and at the same time swallowed the healing medicine Wang Rui gave her.
"What should I do? Brother Rui's previous location is still far away from here, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get there." He Na anxiously thought about countermeasures, but for a while she couldn't find any.
The man's breath came from behind, and the sound of breaking wind made He Na feel frightened. The speed was really astonishing.
He Na took out a transmission note and recorded everything she wanted to say to Wang Rui. Then she let it fly, threw the Wind Spirit Sword behind her, and then detonated the magical weapon.
The moment the magic weapon exploded, a strong impact was released and spread quickly.
Gong Xuan was also delayed by this wave of impact, and He Na took the opportunity to escape several miles away, then directly tore open the space and stepped into it.
"It's not that easy!" Gong Xuan sank directly into the space, and quickly captured He Na's figure with her consciousness. She took a deep breath, and her speed suddenly increased. She shrunk to the ground and appeared directly in front of He Na in the space tunnel.
back.
burst!
However, what greeted Gong Xuan was the self-destruction of magical weapons. Moreover, these magical weapons were not ordinary magical weapons. They had the ability to become spiritual treasures, but their owners detonated them without hesitation.
The fierce spiritual storm suddenly tore open the space passage, and a turbulent flow of space suddenly escaped. Gong Xuan was startled, and she immediately escaped from the passage with all her strength, but He Na still chose to be in it, seeming to rather
I don’t want to die in the turbulence of space, rather than in her hands.
"You are a strong woman. Since you are so understanding, then I will help you." Gong Xuan simply continued to fire out black mist spiritual power, making the space passage more unstable, and the space turbulence suddenly increased, making He
Na's living space is even smaller.
"Senior, I have no enmity with you, why do you do this to me?" He Na asked in confusion while trying to avoid the turbulent flow in space.
While Gong Xuan continued to destroy the sealed space tunnel, she lectured: "You shouldn't mention your identity. In order to avoid future worries, I can only erase you."
"I see. Unfortunately, I had just expected that I would die, so I let go of a transmission note. It must have been in the hands of my husband at this time. Although I don't know who you are or what your identity is, based on my husband's
With the means and ability, it is not difficult to find you. This is the territory of the Puppet Sect, and you are good at controlling puppets, so you must be from the Puppet Sect. My husband will definitely know all this and avenge me." After that, He Na
He simply sat down and after swallowing the elixir to restore his spiritual power, a protective light shield appeared around his body to resist the invasion of the turbulent flow of space, but it looked like it would be swallowed up soon.
Gong Xuan felt frustrated. She tried hard to eliminate the possible crisis, but she didn't expect that although the other party was a junior, he had arranged his tricks in advance, which was really careless.
He Na slowly closed her eyes, waiting for the moment of death. The spatial turbulence gradually began to close. Once closed, she would be dragged deep into it and her body would be shattered into pieces.
However, she suddenly felt her body light up, and then was pulled out of the space tunnel by several forces. When she opened her eyes, she saw herself appearing next to Gong Xuan.
The black mist slowly dissipated around his hands and feet, and at the end of these black mist chains were Gong Xuan's hands. It seemed that she had saved him at the last moment.
"You saved me, why?" He Na asked puzzledly.
"Killing you is for survival, and saving you is also for survival. On the first day when we disciples of the Puppet Sect learn that survival is the most important thing, we will not hesitate even if we are despicable, groveling, or even if we imitate an ant in order to survive." Gong
Xuan took off her hood and revealed her true face. This time, she decided to change her strategy.
