American comics: I gradually replicate everything

A dozen or so puppets had already charged forward, brandishing their weapons.

Van Can was the first to meet the attack, moving with lightning speed and easily dodging a cleaver that was slashing down.

With a quick reach and twist, he disarmed the opponent and then used a skillful force to send him flying, crashing onto the grass where he was temporarily unable to get up.

Although Ah Bao was nervous, he mustered his courage and faced a puppet charging at him with a rake in hand.

He let out a "heh," used the clumsy moves he had learned in the past few days to dodge to the side, and then, relying on his brute strength, he rammed his belly into the other person, knocking him over.

"Hehe, don't underestimate my skills. Let me show you the power of my fat belly... no, I mean, my huge stomach!"

The clever little dragon is agile and nimble, weaving and darting about, cleverly tripping enemies with its tail, or using its supple body to entangle the opponent's weapon-wielding arm, causing them to lose their balance.

The golden monkey leaps and bounds, using its agility and speed to weave through gaps in the enemy's attacks, seize opportunities to disarm them, and knock them down. Its monkey fist technique is incredibly skillful.

"The cranes are on guard around the area; we can handle these people."

Van Ken spoke as he made his move.

The crane calmly circled at low altitude, keeping watch and constantly scanning its surroundings for any potential dangers.

The battle was almost entirely one-sided.

These puppets, though ferocious, moved stiffly and their moves were completely disorganized.

He was quickly disarmed by Van Can and his men, who took his weapons with their bare hands, knocked him to the ground, and temporarily lost his ability to move.

He casually tossed the stolen swords, knives, and clubs at his feet.

"Nothing happened?"

Van Can didn't relax, his eyes scanning the surrounding grass, rocks, and trees.

Apart from the rustling of the grass in the breeze and the babbling of the stream, the valley was eerily silent.

The terrifying crimson figure of the Scorpion Master was not seen.

This silence only made things more uneasy.

"Everyone be careful..."

Van Ken said.

While they were fighting these people, it should have been the perfect time to launch a surprise attack, but Master Poison Scorpion did not make a move, which was highly unusual.

"ah--!"

Suddenly, a short, sharp cry of pain came from behind Master Raccoon!

Suddenly, Master Raccoon, who had been vigilant and hadn't made a move, clutched his left ankle, his face turning pale, and staggered backward.

Almost at the same instant, with a soft "poof," the grass and soil next to where he had just been standing exploded.

A figure, as red as blood and as fast as lightning, shot out from the underground tunnel!

It was none other than the Scorpion Master. She was entirely crimson, with a body the size of a millstone. Her six emerald green eyes gleamed with a cold light, and her thick tail was raised high. Her sharp stinger gleamed with a dark luster in the sunlight, making her a terrifying sight that inspired awe.

"master!"

"Little Dragon exclaimed in surprise."

Van Ken, A Bao, and the others' expressions changed simultaneously as they all noticed the empty hole in the mechanism on the ground.

Master Poison Scorpion circled around from the underground passageway behind them and struck his master squarely.

Everyone was focused on their surroundings, but they overlooked what was underground.

No one expected that Master Poison Scorpion's surprise attack would be so cunning!

"Despicable! They actually launched a sneak attack from underground!"

The golden monkey cursed angrily.

"No, don't come any closer, it's dangerous!"

Master Raccoon yelled, shook his head, trying to stay awake, and still tried to attack the scorpion.

"You are the Jade Emperor Palace Kung Fu instructor trained by the tortoise?"

Prepare to serve me!

But the scorpion just watched with a cold laugh.

Master Raccoon felt dizzy and could barely stand.

In his eyes, the Scorpion Master's original six emerald green eyes had multiplied into countless shapes, seemingly occupying his entire field of vision, the entire sky, and his entire mind.

In the blink of an eye, Master Raccoon's expression stiffened, his eyes gradually lost focus, becoming empty and staring, and he stood obediently in place with his hands hanging down.

"Scorpion venom takes effect so quickly!"

The thought that their master had been brought under control so quickly sent a chill down Van Ken's spine.

Master Scorpion let out a smug hiss as he circled around the stiff-bodied Raccoon Master, his six eyes mockingly scanning the wary Van Ken and his companions.

"The master of the Jade Emperor Palace, your master, has now become my puppet."

Her voice was cold and sharp, carrying a sense of relief that had been suppressed for many years and was finally being released.

"Soon, you too will become my most loyal servants, just like him."

Her gaze finally settled on Van Can, looking him up and down with even more mockery.

"Especially you... Dragon Warrior, successor to the tortoise, new guardian of the Valley of Peace."

Heh... If you kneel down now and kowtow to me begging for mercy,

Perhaps after you become my puppet, I can treat you better and let you do less dirty and tiring work.

She was banished by Master Oogway and trapped in Scorpion Valley for decades. Fearing the Oogway's reputation, she dared not take a single step out. The resentment and fear she had accumulated over the decades seemed to have found an outlet at this moment.

The scorpion couldn't wait to reclaim its twisted dignity and prestige from Van Can, the turtle's successor.

Van Ken snorted coldly.

"You've been staying in this valley for decades, too scared to step out by Master Oogway. You've done nothing but dream?"

"Even now, seeing us, you still haven't woken up from your pathetic dream?"

These words struck with unparalleled precision the most unbearable wound and humiliation for Master Poison Scorpion!

"hiss--!!!

What did you say?!

Master Poison Scorpion instantly flew into a rage, his six eyes simultaneously blazing with terrifying ferocity, his crimson body trembling slightly with fury.

"You...you're asking for it, I've made up my mind!"

Once you become my puppet, I'll make you the lowest of servants, the one who carries my sedan chair. Whether I get in or out of the sedan chair, I'll have to step on your back!

Her frenzied rage stopped her from talking nonsense and directly gave orders to the raccoon master she had just subdued.

"Take them down!"

"Capture the Dragon Warrior for me, and capture your disciples!"

As soon as the order was given, Master Raccoon's previously stiff body suddenly jolted, his empty eyes turned to Van Ken and the others, and with a powerful push of his feet, his figure shot out like an arrow!

Although the movements were a bit stiff, the moves were ruthless, and the skill was still there!

At the same time, Master Scorpion also leaped into the air, his crimson figure drawing a sharp arc in the air, his sharp stinger gleaming with an eerie light, like a deadly poisonous thorn, suddenly attacking.

Master Raccoon, controlled by his inner demons, and Master Scorpion, who has been lurking for decades and harbors resentment, join forces to attack with overwhelming force.

Fan Ken, A Bao, Golden Monkey, Ling He, and Qiao Xiaolong immediately went to meet the challenge.

The situation is extremely unfavorable for them.

The Golden Monkey, the Spirit Crane, and the Clever Little Dragon were filled with pain and fear when their once-respected master attacked them with empty faces and fierce eyes. Their attacks were inevitably hesitant and their power was greatly reduced.

"Master, Master, please wake up."

Stop! Stop! Don't fight us anymore!

Don't let Master Scorpion control you!

They mostly dodge and parry, finding it difficult to launch a truly powerful counterattack.

"Take them down, take them all down!"

But Master Raccoon and Master Scorpion had no scruples.

Master Raccoon's moves were ruthless and skillful, each strike aimed at vital points, and seemed to be three times more powerful than usual. As soon as they started fighting, Linghe and his two companions were overwhelmed and forced to retreat step by step.

"I'll deal with Master," Van Ken said.
