Free Web NovelChapter 1824: Chapter 1043: Ghost Fog Puppet
As soon as the fight began, Yang Xiao suffered a significant loss, his carefully refined Bone Burning Taoist was lost immediately.
However, luckily he had a backup plan, sending the Bone Burning Taoist to test the opponent. If it had been the Mirror Ghost that was lost, it would have been a real blood loss.
The Ninja Team Air General retreated into the mist and completely disappeared. At the same time, two former teammates of Wang Yue Qianxun pressed forward.
Their retreat was also cut off by a guy dressed in a suit with gold spectacles, dressed like a boss, blocking their way.
"Are all three puppets...?" Yang Xiao had to be amazed at the means of this Ninja Team Air General. In just a dozen minutes, he turned three living people into puppets. Such speed might even be hard for Beiyu Ye to achieve.
Of course, their paths seemed different. Beiyu Ye once mentioned that corpse refining with living people is an absolute forbidden technique at their Dragon Tiger Mountain.
"Be careful, something doesn’t feel right." Wang Yue Qianxun closely watched one of his former subordinates, who inexplicably pulled out a blood-stained dagger from somewhere.
The dagger had obvious spiritual power fluctuations, undoubtedly a magic artifact, but Wang Yue Qianxun clearly remembered that the person didn’t have such an item.
This person originally had two magic artifacts, a toothbrush, and a greeting card.
"It seems these guys aren’t ordinary puppets, you’re right, we’re in trouble today. Protect yourself, I won’t be able to look after you in a fight."
Yang Xiao carefully observed the two guys in front. Taking advantage of the gap when the two puppets spread out, he attacked the puppet to the right.
The one holding the dagger, as the Soul-Capturing Mirror activated, Yang Xiao appeared in front of a puddle about two meters from the puppet’s side. He bent forward to gather strength and charge, gripping the saber handle with both hands, his target clear, he aimed a slash at the puppet’s arm.
If this slash succeeded, he could take the opponent’s magic artifact. Without the magic artifact, the puppet would have no combat power.
Strategically without immediately using the Mirror Ghost, Yang Xiao also left himself a trump card because he knew these three puppets were just appetizers. The real threat was the Ninja Team Air General hidden in the mist. freёwebnovel.com
This guy’s abilities were extremely bizarre, possibly launching a surprise attack when Yang Xiao was unprepared.
Originally with his skills, ambushing and killing a puppet with lower ghost level strength was simple, but what happened next completely overturned his understanding.
The puppet reacted quickly, twisting its arm in a way no live person could, raising the dagger to stab at Yang Xiao’s chest, ignoring Yang Xiao’s move, clearly willing to trade life for life.
Yang Xiao wasn’t about to trade lives with a puppet, but this move was unavoidable. Years of close combat had given him rich experience, and he decided to exchange injury for life to take down this puppet.
After all, the opponent lacked strength. Yang Xiao was wearing the Hundred Demons Coffin Clothes, fighting alongside his good sister. Even if the dagger cut him, as long as he avoided vital parts, the injury was acceptable.
But just as the melee ensued, something unexpected occurred. The dagger that was supposed to slice Yang Xiao’s shoulder suddenly changed direction, stabbing toward his right eye. If it hit, his head would be impaled. More terrifyingly, the puppet’s spiritual power surged at the same time.
Starting at just lower ghost level, in the blink of an eye, it matched Yang Xiao’s level, eventually breaking through to upper ghost level, surging to the peak of the ghost level.
This sudden change caught Yang Xiao completely off guard. Over the years, he had encountered many strange opponents, but this sort of thing was a first.
At the critical moment, Yang Xiao could only choose to withdraw his saber to block, barely deflecting the blow, but the immense force left his tiger’s mouth numb.
The failed attack was followed by another slash from the puppet. This time Yang Xiao saw clearly; it wasn’t the puppet in front of him controlling the dagger but rather a ghost hand connected to the person’s back.
Under the ghost hand’s control, the trajectory of the dagger was impossible to predict. For instance, even though it seemed aimed at the head, it would actually land on the chest.
But this time, Yang Xiao didn’t block or dodge again. The suddenly appearing Mirror Ghost blocked the puppet’s dagger, while Yang Xiao swung his Ring-Headed Saber, stepping forward and slashing it across the puppet’s chest.
This slash would have been enough to cleave the puppet in two, at least disembowel it, but in reality, as the saber touched the puppet’s body, it seemed blocked by some mysterious force, dissipating most of the saber’s momentum, as if cutting into a quagmire.
The final damage to the puppet was minimal, with the blade barely cutting through a bit of its skin, knocking it back.
However, the Mirror Ghost wasn’t so lucky. Temporarily summoned, it was pierced by the dagger, nearly severely injured in a single move.
Feeling a chill wind from behind, Yang Xiao’s figure instantly vanished. The next second, where he had stood, a pair of corpse-spotted arms pierced through.
Returning to Wang Yue Qianxun’s side, Yang Xiao, panting heavily, had figured out the trick inside, "These three puppets aren’t ordinary. They can share the spiritual power of the Ninja Team General; they are one!"
At this moment, Wang Yue Qianxun also noticed the clue, softly agreeing, "When you attacked that puppet, the spiritual power intensity on the other two puppets immediately dropped, one from middle you level, the other nearing upper you level, finally falling to the level of an ordinary Fierce Level Apostle. Meanwhile, the one you engaged with surged instantly to peak you level."
