Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 260 Kunsha's True Colors, White Cloud Smoke Armor
The elixir was digested in the body, and the vital energy was quickly restored.

Lu Xiaofeng's attack had already lost its power; that last bit of progress was completely ineffective.

He radiated a faint glow, as if countless fireflies were dancing around him.

Along with this scene, Lu Xiaofeng's armor vanished into nothingness.

Jade Rakshasa struck out with her palm, sending Lu Xiaofeng flying.

Fortunately, in addition to his armor, Lu Xiaofeng himself possessed a Grandmaster-level cultivation level, so he wouldn't be killed by that palm strike.

Despite this, Lu Xiaofeng was in a terrible mood.

Having lost his armor, he was completely powerless to resist Jade Rakshasa.

Right now, it seems there's only one way...

Lu Xiaofeng immediately took off the beast-shaped energy box from his waist, threw it at Yu Luosha, and shouted, "Activate the backup hidden energy!"

Yu Luosha was startled; the power of this method was indeed quite formidable.

Moreover, the energy box used by Lu Xiaofeng is clearly more advanced than the energy boxes used by others, and its explosive power may even be greater.

Fortunately, his internal energy is constantly recovering, so there is no need to worry. He immediately used his lightness skill to dodge.

However, the predicted explosion did not occur.

The beast-shaped energy box traced an arc in mid-air, not flying towards him, but instead turning and flying into the hands of Kunsha, who had been watching from the sidelines and only occasionally offering verbal guidance.

Kunsha said, "Brother Lu, there's only one of these upgrade energy boxes right now, it's really precious, we can't let you blow it up."

Lu Xiaofeng was taken aback: "Brother Kunsha..."

He suddenly realized that something was wrong with Kunsa.

It's not bad, it's actually very good.

Despite being severely injured by attacks from the demonic master Pang Ban and the Jade Rakshasa, he appeared to be full of energy and vitality, seemingly not only unharmed but also in high spirits.

Yu Luosha was also taken aback, then said, "Your internal energy was unstable just now, which clearly indicated that you were seriously injured, but now you have fully recovered. Could it be that those injuries were purely a pretense?"

"Yes."

Kunsha said, "I thought that with the upgraded energy box in my hand, obtaining the Rakshasa Token would be a piece of cake, but I didn't expect that this matter would be so complicated."

Not only were powerful figures like the Demon Master Pang Ban involved, but the others were also treacherous and cunning, seemingly having multiple faces that made it difficult to discern their true nature.

Faced with these people, I have no choice but to hide for now and wait for the right opportunity. At the very least, I must wait until the real Rakshasa appears…”

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes widened in disbelief: "You! Your target is also the Rakshasa?! You've been lying to me from the very beginning?"

"It's not a lie."

Kunsha said calmly, "Retrieving the energy boxes from the three of them is indeed my goal. However, it's only one of my objectives."

Upon hearing this, the three Blue brothers all sneered.

Reid bluntly said, "I knew it! How could a bastard like you possibly leave the Rakshasa brand unattended!"

Kunsha said, "Don't put it so harshly. Aren't you all here for the Rakshasa Token too?"

Listening from the side, Yu Luosha couldn't help but sigh, "Are all the younger generation in the martial arts world so treacherous these days?"

Kunsha said, "There's nothing I can do. Who told you seniors to be so powerful and influential, yet so treacherous and cunning? Those fake Rakshasa tablets really fooled me."

"If I can't be even more cunning when facing people like you, how can I snatch food from the tiger's mouth?"

Jade Rakshasa said, "So you're exposing yourself now because you think you can deal with me?"

"nature."

"On what grounds? On the grounds of your depleted treasure?"

"This item's energy is indeed depleted, and it cannot replenish itself in such a short time. However, I still have this!"

Kunsha took out a crystal from his pocket. It was white and prismatic, with what appeared to be flowing smoke and clouds inside, making it look very mysterious.

Jade Rakshasa's eyes flickered slightly: "What kind of treasure is this?"

Before anyone could answer, the three Blue brothers exclaimed in surprise, "Tianjing! How did it end up in your hands!"

Lu Xiaofeng was taken aback. If he remembered correctly, the full name of the energy box was actually the Tianjing Energy Box.

He wondered what "tianjing" was, but it turned out to be a real crystal.

Red gritted his teeth: "Kunsha! How did the Heavenly Crystal end up in your hands? What did you do to Master Yoda?"

"Master Yoda?"

Kunsha sighed and said, "I have to admit, he is indeed a sage and a great talent. He not only created the energy box, but also upgraded it to create the perfect upgraded energy box that I have in my hands now, which is capable of using the power of the Heavenly Crystal!"

Blue frowned and sneered: "Perfect? ​​What nonsense are you spouting? Master Yoda only ever pursued better, never the so-called best. The perfection you speak of is merely the perfection of the present moment."

Kunsha raised an eyebrow: "It seems you really know that guy quite well. That's right, he said the same thing after creating this energy box... Unfortunately, for me, this level of energy box is enough; I don't need anything better!"

The three of them were shocked.

Red was so angry he wanted to pounce on him: "You! What do you mean by that?"

"It didn't mean anything by it."

Kunsha said calmly, "In short, this energy box is the best and most perfect one in the world!"

"Could it be...could it be that Master Yoda has already fallen victim to your evil deeds?"

Upon hearing this, not only Lu Xiaofeng, but even Yu Luosha frowned.

He listened from the side and realized that the energy box was man-made, and that the person who created it was Master Yoda.

I originally wanted to listen more and find out who Master Yoda really was, where he lived, and that I could invite him to the Rakshasa Cult later to make an energy box for myself.

I never expected... this young man to be so ruthless!
He asked, "What exactly is this Heavenly Crystal?"

Blue glared fiercely at Kunsha.

In the past, he would have been wary and wouldn't have shared this information with others.

But now, this celestial crystal has actually appeared in Kunsha's hands, and Master Yoda is likely to meet with misfortune, which makes him hateful. He said, "This celestial crystal is a treasure with an extremely mysterious origin. All we know is that it contains infinite energy and mysteries. Master Yoda used this as the basis to develop an energy box that can store the power of heaven and earth."

Jade Rakshasa said, "So, it's possible to create an energy box using this thing? In that case, it really is a treasure. No wonder you were tempted and killed someone to steal it."

Kunsha said, "Rakshasa Sect Leader, you don't know the truth, so don't speak recklessly. Stealing treasure? This item is something I inherited from my master; it belongs to me rightfully. How can you say it was stolen?"

Bru said, "This item clearly belongs to Mr. Jin, who sought to collaborate with Master Yoda on the research of the energy box. What does it have to do with you that it's in Master Yoda's possession?"

Kunsha said, "A connection? Didn't you already say so?"

Blue was taken aback: "That Mr. Jin, is he your master?"

"No, my master died five years ago. That Mr. Jin was me."

Kunsha said, “Five years ago, I inherited this celestial crystal from my master. I studied it for several years without much success. At that time, I heard of Master Yoda’s reputation, so I went to him and borrowed this crystal for my research. In return, he must share all the results of his research with me.”

After achieving some results in his research, he recruited others to conduct experiments. However, the experiments were not progressing as well as expected, so I concealed my identity and joined them. This served two purposes: firstly, to advance the experiments, and secondly, to monitor Master Yoda and prevent him from hiding anything from me.

As he spoke, he shook his head and said, "Master Yoda is good in every way, but he just doesn't understand his own strengths. This energy box is already perfect, why pursue something better? Besides, although the basic energy box is not as good as this upgraded one, it is still a rare treasure. How can we just hand it over to someone else?"

"what?"

Blue and the other two were all surprised. They never expected that Kunsha, who had joined the experiment at the last minute and was also one of the experimenters, was actually another leader of the experiment.

and……

"I knew it... How could someone as magnanimous as Master Yoda, after giving this energy box to the three of us in such a discarded manner, send someone to take it back?"

Bru gritted his teeth: "So it was you who harmed Master Yoda and now wants to take back what he gave us!"

Kunsha said, "Anyway, now, apart from this upgrade energy box, all the other energy boxes have disappeared. My goal has been achieved."

Next… Rakshasa Cult Leader, if I may be so bold as to ask, the real Rakshasa amulet is on you, isn't it?

Jade Rakshasa laughed, "Want it? Why don't you come and take it yourself?"

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."

"Ha ha……"

With a cold laugh, Jade Rakshasa appeared before Kunsha: "Young man, since you know how dangerous the martial world is, why do you think I'll let you prepare before making a move?"

His palm, raised like a knife, plunged straight into the throat.

If this stab lands, Kunsa will surely die.

With Kunsha's strength at the Innate Realm, it was completely impossible for him to dodge this attack.

In an instant, the palm had pierced Kunsha's throat.

However, Jade Rakshasa's expression changed, and she unleashed her true energy in her palm, directly shattering Kunsha's figure into a wisp of mist.

Of course, this was not due to his martial arts skills, but rather because Kunsa had made preparations in advance.

What he pierced was originally a phantom formed from a cloud of mist.

"Old man, you underestimate me. I had already started preparing long before you were drawn to the name Master Yoda. Otherwise, do you think I would be so kind as to share my story with them?"

Kunsha's voice came from not far away.

He sneered, "All I've said is that I need time to create this illusion."

He held the prism-shaped white crystal in one hand and the beast-shaped energy box in the other. He inserted the crystal into the beast's head on the energy box, and it went straight in.

Most of the crystal was submerged, leaving only a small, pointed cone at the very top.

At first glance, it looks as if the beast's head has grown a single horn.

As this action occurred, the beast's head suddenly emitted a thick cloud of mist, while white lines spread out from its pointed horns, intertwining to form cloud-like patterns.

This makes the animal head look more lifelike.

Kunsha inserted the cloud-patterned beast-shaped energy box into his waistband and casually pressed the switch.

"Energy activated!"

The beast's head suddenly opened its eyes, and a deep, muffled sound rang out from somewhere.

【White Clouds and Smoke】

Amidst the swirling clouds, a beam of platinum light leaped forth, enveloping Kunsha's entire body.

Immediately, the surrounding clouds gathered and formed armor parts on Kunsha's body, eventually transforming into a white battle armor with gold lines and auspicious cloud patterns.

Behind him, clouds and mist rose up, like a cloak.

Her skirt swayed at her feet, drifting like clouds.

A single horn rose from the middle of the helmet, and at first glance, it bore a resemblance to the beast head of the energy box.

The armor was constantly emitting extremely thick clouds and mist, obscuring Kunsha's figure, making him appear and disappear in the mist.

The single horn on its forehead emitted a shimmering light, which, after being refracted by the clouds and mist, faintly formed an arc.

It looks like the halo behind the heads of those gods and Buddhas.

Bathed in this halo and surrounded by clouds, Kunsha, clad in white armor, was no ordinary being; the golden lines on his armor added to his divine aura.

"call……"

Faced with this set of armor that looked like something out of a celestial being, Jade Rakshasa actually let out a long breath and relaxed a little.

"After all that talk, I thought it would be something amazing, but it turns out it's just the Three Flowers level! Hehehe..."

"only?"

From behind the clouds, Kunsha's voice, distorted by his armor, rang out: "You will soon find out what a fallacy those two words are!"

With those words, his figure completely disappeared from the clouds.

Immediately, countless clouds and mist churned and transformed into swords, spears, and halberds, thrusting straight at them.

Jade Rakshasa was not afraid at all. With a wave of her hands, she shattered all the weapons formed from the clouds.

But in an instant, these shattered weapons were restored and then bombarded the enemy.

At the same time, more clouds and mist gathered, transforming into weapons and joining the battlefield.

In just two or three breaths, Yu Luosha was surrounded by hundreds of weapons, and the continuous attacks were making her somewhat overwhelmed.

Jade Rakshasa's palms moved without a trace, shattering weapons one by one. The violent palm wind swept around, attempting to disperse the clouds and mist.

However, the surrounding clouds and mist were so dense that they obscured the view. A gust of wind from the palm could only blow away two or three meters of the clouds and mist at most, and then it would lose its effect.

Jade Rakshasa gritted her teeth, feeling a pang of regret.

He shouldn't have let his guard down after hearing about Master Yoda, the creator of the energy box, thus giving Kunsa an opportunity.

But he also knew that if it happened again, he would still fall for it.

Because he is greedy and ambitious.

Upon learning that the Energy Box was a man-made treasure, one would naturally want to know the information about its creator.

This was the greatest temptation for him.

Unless he can let go of these two points, no matter how many times it happens, he will listen attentively rather than take action.

Hearing this, Kunsha naturally had enough time to run to a safe place and summon his armor.

There's no going back in life, especially for someone like Yu Luosha, for whom even a medicine for regret is useless.

But now, facing the seemingly endless cloud of weapons, he truly regretted it.

At this moment, only a few breaths had passed since he uttered the word "merely".
