Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

Meanwhile, the Earth Wanderer Clan members who had been waiting in the nearby area responded quickly.

Over the past few days, they have been cooperating with the group of Tiangongtang disciples for a long time and have developed a tacit understanding with each other.

Several skilled earth spirits simultaneously drew upon the earth's energy, activating several pre-buried earth vein energy supply piles.

A pale yellow array, aided by the earth vein energy supply piles, was quickly constructed and enveloped the area.

Earth Vein Dragon Trapping Formation! Activate!

Gravity within the array's range increased sharply, and even the air seemed to become viscous.

Those Quanxing masters immediately felt their bodies become heavy, their movements sluggish, and the flow of Qi within their bodies was suppressed.

Zhao Tianhai, who had been suffering in silence, seized the opportunity. The gauntlet part of his Xuanji Armor, named Digging Beast, suddenly deformed and merged into the ground like liquid.

Zhao Tianhai roared and slammed his fists into the ground!

Suddenly, several twisted spikes of earth and stone rose from the ground, launching an attack on the Quanxing without any pattern.

What's even more troublesome is that anything attacked by these soil and rocks, or even just a simple brush against them, is vulnerable.

This will significantly amplify the gravity effect on these Quanxing individuals, as if an invisible shackle is being added layer upon layer.

A Quanxing disciple skilled in using a long whip accidentally grazed his calf with a piece of dirt. He immediately felt that his leg was as heavy as a thousand pounds, almost impossible to lift, and the flow of Qi in his leg was also sluggish and difficult.

"This formation is strange! Be careful not to touch those rocks and soil!"

Someone realized something was wrong and immediately cried out in alarm.

However, under the dual interference of the Earth Vein Dragon Trapping Formation and Zhao Tianhai's manipulation of earth energy to create soil and rocks, the Quanxing sect's evasion became extremely difficult, further compressing their space for maneuver.

Soon, five members of the Quanxing sect were hit or grazed by the soil and rocks because they were unable to dodge in time, and their movements became slower and slower.

He was eventually frozen in place, barely able to circulate his Qi to resist the ever-increasing pressure, his face turning red from holding his breath.

The remaining eleven people, seeing this, knew something was wrong.

Three of them exchanged glances and suddenly broke through in different directions, attempting to force their way through the Tiangongtang disciples' blockade.

The other eight people were all somewhat influenced by Zhao Tianhai, and knew that there was no hope of escaping.

Qi Qi's face hardened. Instead of yielding, he continued to activate his technique and actively mobilize the Qi within his body, clearly preparing to fight to the death.

They are preparing to launch an even stronger offensive, intending to desperately create a breach or to take a few down with them.

"Stop those who try to escape! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

Zhao Tianhai shouted, while he manipulated more earthen and rock spikes to entangle the three fleeing guys.

Just then, a dark figure cut into the battlefield like a gust of wind.

Yon-eun has arrived.

She wasn't wearing heavy armor, but rather a fitted black leather suit specially made for her by Cui Ming, and she was wielding two swords.

Her movements were so fast that they left only faint afterimages in place; her sword flashed like the cold moonlight.

The eight Quanxing members who were about to fight to the death felt a chill on their necks, and their surging Qi and boiling blood suddenly stopped.

They could only stare wide-eyed in disbelief at Yone, who had appeared beside them without them noticing, before their consciousness went dark and they collapsed to the ground.

Yongen calmly sheathed his sword, not even glancing at the corpses lying on the ground.

Her gaze fell upon the five Quanxing members who had been trapped and killed by Zhao Tianhai and the Earth Vein Dragon-Trapping Formation.

Completely disregarding the terrified expressions on the five people's faces, he seemed to be considering where to strike first.

"Let these people stay."

Cui Ming's voice rang in the ears of several high-ranking officials.

"Leave the land reclamation to Yongen. You continue chasing those three who ran away."

Cui Ming spoke succinctly, and Zhao Tianhai bowed in greeting.

"Yes, sir! Everyone from the Heavenly Crafts Hall, follow me!"

As Zhao Tianhai raised his hand, the eight Tiangong Hall disciples dressed in heavy Xuanji armor followed closely behind.

"Fellow Earth Wanderers, I'll leave the situation here to you."

"Yongen, you go too. These pillars of society only need a little training; we can't let them really perish here."

Yongen nodded silently, then followed in a flash.

After communicating with Yong'en, Di Youxian, and others via the communication device, Cui Ming turned his attention back to the Zhao brothers.

In another part of the mountains, Zhao Pingshan had completely lost track of Li Muxuan.

There was no other way; the mountains and forests here were simply too vast.

Zhao Pingshan was not good at hand-to-hand combat, not to mention he had to wear the Zhenshan Armor and be wary of the thief's sudden attack.

Naturally, they couldn't catch up with Li Muxuan, who was focused on escaping.

Upon seeing that Zhao Pingshan and his two subordinates clearly had mediocre combat experience and martial arts skills, but were equipped with novel and strange gear, Li Muxuan made a plan.

This Divine Machine Alliance not only discovered their whereabouts early on, but also released a group of strangely dressed novices.

Their purpose couldn't be clearer: to take advantage of the fact that the cannon fodder in the Quanxing Sect hadn't all died yet.

Run for your lives, or you'll be stuck here if they actually close the net.

Therefore, Li Muxuan, who was determined to escape, could not be stopped by the Miao Jiang Gu Masters or Yan Wutang Escorts on the periphery.

Even the disguised puppets, under Cui Ming's control, fired several poison mist arrows, but they were easily dodged and not engaged.

They then stopped and let him go.

They then notified Zhao Pingshan to surround the last three "Quanxing" members who had fled.

Chapter 158 Prisoners

Zhao Tianhai led the eight fully armed Tiangongtang disciples in hot pursuit of the three escaped "Quanxing".

The three "Quanxing" members who had originally scattered and fled had only gone a short distance when they finally escaped.

They ran into the mechanical puppets in the mountains and forests, and encountered Miao Jiang Gu Masters, Yan Wutang Escorts, Tang Clan Assassins, and others who had just dealt with the surrounding Quanxing.

Whether it's the various poisonous insects flying all over the sky, the swordplay created by dozens of people, or the overwhelming rain of arrows and hidden weapons.

They were forced to retreat step by step, and the three of them had no choice but to reunite.

Fortunately, there was still one last escape route, but even knowing this route might not end well.

But people tend to have a sense of wishful thinking; what if it happens?

What if they don't manage to plug the leak in time?

Moreover, the three of them had no other choice.

Zhao Tianhai and many disciples of Tiangongtang were hot on their heels.

That strange armor covering his entire body could easily withstand ordinary attacks.

Moreover, not only Zhao Tianhai, but also the other Tiangongtang disciples who were tracking them were able to control the earth and stone spikes to attack these deserters with Zhao Tianhai's help.

These three fleeing "Quanxing" members wanted to avoid the same fate as their previous companions.

They were carefully dodging all the attacks, but the more the earth and rocks kept coming from behind them, the slower they ran away.

Moreover, because they needed to conceal their true identities, they deliberately avoided using their abilities and were unable to escape at full speed.

Under such suffocating circumstances, the three members of the "Quanxing" were gradually forced into a relatively narrow valley.

Steep rock walls lined both sides, and ahead, a group of puppet soldier bees could be faintly seen swaying in the road, while Zhao Tianhai and his men were hot on their heels.

Miao Jiang Gu Masters, Yan Wutang Escorts, and Tang Clan Disciples kept appearing all around.

They were like prey being driven, forced to continue fleeing towards the valley entrance.

"No! If this continues, it's only a matter of time before we get caught up!"

One of the three men, after awkwardly dodging a sharp spike that burst from the ground, growled.

These sharp, earthen spikes are not fatal, but if you are grazed by them, your body will become extremely heavy, your speed will be greatly reduced, or you may even become unable to move.

Many of the Quanxing members who were trapped there before died because of this.

The other two were also sweating profusely.

They had considered breaking out in one direction with all their might, but the number of enemies around them was constantly increasing, and if they were held back, it would be a dead end.

"Damn it! Just how many people has the Divine Machine Alliance committed here?!"

Not only were the enemy numbers large, but what alarmed them even more was that the enemy seemed intent on wearing them down and even wanted to capture them alive.

"What are you hiding for! If you keep hiding like this, you'll lose your life!"

One of the three men's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he abruptly stopped in his tracks.

Amidst the slightly surprised gazes of Zhao Tianhai and the others, a crack suddenly appeared on his face.

And the crack continued to widen, and soon he emerged from the outer layer of skin like a molting snake.

Appearing in the spot was a short, stocky man, his entire body wrapped in white bandages covered with dark red runes, revealing only a pair of sinister eyes.

He casually tossed the human skin disguise he had shed onto the ground, and the skin quickly dried and withered.

The other two exchanged a glance, realizing that there was no point in continuing to pretend, and each tore off their disguises as well.

One of them was an elegant man dressed in a gray-white suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and holding a slender Western sword;

The other person was a ninja dressed in orange, masked, with two short swords crossed on his back.

"Hmph! You Japanese devil!"

Zhao Tianhai stopped in his tracks, and the voice coming from under his mask was cold.

"As expected, he's mingling among this group of Quanxing!"

The three bandaged men quickly stood back to back, forming a triangular defensive formation.

They were also filled with doubt and uncertainty at this moment.

When the other party saw them reveal their true forms, they were only slightly surprised when they tore off their disguises, but they were not at all surprised by their existence.
