Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

Did their identities get exposed from the very beginning?

"Take it!"

Zhao Tianhai stopped wasting words and gave an order.

Eight disciples of the Heavenly Craft Hall pressed forward simultaneously, displaying all sorts of strange and wonderful magical artifacts.

Although none of the magical artifacts held by these disciples of the Heavenly Craft Hall were the same, they coordinated perfectly.

On the rock walls on both sides, several Tang Clan disciples pulled the triggers of their crossbows, and poisoned bolts silently shot towards the three men's vital points.

The Miao Gu masters then commanded poisonous insects to swarm from all sides of the valley.

The bandaged man let out a low growl, and the bandages and runes on his body glowed with a bloody light.

Several bandages shot out like venomous snakes, lashing at the approaching Tiangongtang disciples.

The chosen disciple from the Heavenly Craft Hall remained motionless, though a dull thud was heard from the Xuanji Armor, leaving faint white marks, but the defense was not broken.

The malevolent energy attached to the bandages attempted to erode the armor, but it was largely neutralized by the flowing runes on the surface of the Xuanji Armor.

The man in the suit thrust his rapier swiftly, unleashing countless silver-white sword beams that targeted the weak points in the Xuanji armor, such as the joint gaps.

His swordsmanship was swift and precise. The disciples of the Heavenly Craft Hall were not good at killing, and their attack rhythm was slightly slowed down. They were hit one after another, sparks flew from the Xuanji Armor, leaving shallow pits, and the internal structure made a slight noise.

The orange-clad ninja's figure flickered, leaving a faint afterimage in place.

His true form had already appeared behind a Yanwu Hall bodyguard on the flank, and a short flash of light slashed towards the man's neck.

The bodyguard reacted quickly, parrying with his sword!

But the ninja's other short sword had already silently pierced his waist and abdomen.

However, several flashes of sword light came slashing down from the side! Forcing the ninja to forcibly sheathe his sword and retreat.

The battle instantly intensified.

Although these three Japanese superhumans were quite powerful, they were struggling to defend themselves against the encirclement and targeted attacks, facing constant danger.

They dared not easily touch those annoying earthen rocks and spikes, and had to guard against those hidden weapons and poisonous insects. Moreover, they were forcibly suppressed by the Xuanji Armor's solid defense and strength, making them feel extremely frustrated.

Just then, heavy footsteps came from the other end of the valley.

Zhao Pingshan controlled the Zhenshan Armor, which, like a mobile fortress, blocked the valley entrance where they originally wanted to escape.

Zhao Pingshan stood still, and several golden wisps of earth energy surged upward from the ground.

Under the influence of this earth's energy, the rock walls on both sides of the valley gradually merged with the Zhenshanjia (a mythical beast).

This commotion greatly shocked the three Japanese soldiers.

The next moment, they had no time to be surprised.

Because it connects the two valleys on either side of Zhao Pingshan, after a transformation, it manifests as eighteen kinds of weapons...

Chapter 159 Rock Shimmer

Before the three Japanese soldiers could react, the axes, halberds, hooks, and forks formed from earth energy rushed straight towards them.

Zhao Pingshan's attacks were powerful and heavy, each weapon strike imbued with a strong earthy energy, forcing the three to dodge in a sorry state.

Meanwhile, Zhao Tianhai, in coordination with his elder brother, continuously manipulated the earthen spikes to further compress their space of movement.

"asshole!"

With a roar, the bandaged man's bandages shone brightly with blood-red light, suddenly expanding and transforming into countless crimson whip shadows that lashed wildly in all directions, attempting to force the crowd away from their encirclement.

The man in the suit suddenly accelerated his swordplay, the silver sword light weaving into a net of light to protect his body.

The orange-clad ninja then flashed away again, attempting to break through the encirclement.

But the Zhao brothers' teamwork became increasingly skilled.

The weapon that Zhao Pingshan launched suddenly exploded and disintegrated in mid-air!

Countless fragments of earth and stone, imbued with the earth's energy, exploded, momentarily halting the bandaged man's bandage attack and also affecting the figure of the orange-clad ninja.

Zhao Tianhai's eyes flashed, and he instantly understood his brother Zhao Pingshan's meaning, immediately seizing the opportunity.

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Tianhai directly controlled the numerous earth and stone fragments scattered in the air, forming two thick chains of earth and stone that precisely wrapped around the lower bodies of the bandaged man and the man in the suit.

The bandaged man couldn't dodge in time, and his left ankle was tightly bound by the earth and stone chains.

Suddenly, I felt that leg was several times heavier, and my movements were greatly affected.

The man in the suit swiftly slashed with his rapier, severing one chain, but another chain had already wrapped around his calf.

Seeing that things were going badly, the orange-clad ninja quickly threw out several smoke bombs, and thick smoke instantly filled the air.

"A trivial skill."

Suddenly, Yong-en's cold voice came from all around.

She had appeared on the battlefield without anyone noticing. With a cross of her two swords, she unleashed a fierce sword aura that swept away the smoke like a whirlwind, revealing the orange-clad ninja who was trying to escape.

Several Tang Clan disciples had already taken up a high vantage point, and with a series of clicks, several barbed wire nets descended upon them.

The orange-clad ninja swung his sword repeatedly, slashing through one net, but was still tightly entangled by another.

As he struggled, the earth and rock spikes controlled by Zhao Tianhai pierced through the ground, blocking his escape route.

At the same time, under the influence of immense gravity, the orange-clad ninja's body sank, and his movements slowed down by half a beat.

Yone's figure flashed by, and the hilt of his sword struck him precisely on the back of the neck, stunning him.

Meanwhile, the bandaged man and the man in a suit, who were entangled in earth and stone chains, were quickly subdued with the combined efforts of the group.

The bandaged man tried to detonate the talismans on his body, but was hit by several crossbow bolts fired by Tang Clan disciples.

The crossbow bolt also contained Cui Ming's Dan Shi power. The pale blue Dan Shi power immediately surged into the bandaged man's major acupoints, firmly controlling him.

The man in the suit wielding the Western-style sword was wrapped up like a dumpling by Zhao Tianhai using the soil and stones, and subjected to immense gravitational pressure.

The man in the suit could only muster all his Qi to resist, his face turning bright red.

The battle ended quickly.

All three Japanese soldiers were captured. Although they were seriously injured, their lives were not in danger.

Zhao Pingshan and Zhao Tianhai quickly removed the mysterious armor from their bodies.

Zhao Tianhai was fortunate enough to only manipulate the earth's energy through the Xuanji Armor, but Zhao Pingshan was different.

Finally, the move that merged with the valley and projected weapons was only used with Cui Ming's help.

Otherwise, if Zhao Pingshan had relied solely on himself, he would have been drained dry long ago.

The two of them caught their breath for a moment.

As the dominant force in this battle, they faced considerable pressure, but also reaped significant rewards.

Not only did they test the Xuanji Armor they personally crafted in actual combat, but their performance against different supernatural beings also verified the feasibility of fighting in conjunction with other sects.

Especially when working together with the Earth Wanderer, they specifically added Earth Vein Stones when creating the Mysterious Armor.

Therefore, when the Earth Wanderer used the Earth Vein Dragon Locking Formation, the many disciples of the Heavenly Craft Hall were able to move freely without being affected.

At this moment, Cui Ming's voice came through the communication device.

“Well done. You must have benefited greatly from this battle. Now, escort these prisoners back to the interrogation room in the Leyline Village and carefully check them for any hidden suicide drugs.”

"Yongen, you're in charge of escorting them. Pingshan and Tianhai, lead the men to clean up the battlefield, tally the battle damage, and repair the damaged puppets and traps."

"The rest of you, resume perimeter security to prevent any further attacks by petty criminals."

"Yes!" ×N

The group accepted the order and quickly sprang into action.

Before long, the team escorted by Yongen delivered the three Japanese soldiers, who had been bound like mummies, to Cui Ming's specially made workshop.

Thanks to the development of the phage sac, Cui Ming now carries most of the tools with him at all times, making it convenient for him to conduct research at any time.

As for the workshop, it was created by Cui Ming using a mechanical arm the moment he arrived in the Earth Vein Village, and it underwent special modifications.

No sound from outside could get in, and no sound from inside could get out.

In addition to its astonishing defensive capabilities, it also comes with incredibly effective illusion runes, making it especially convenient for Cui Ming to research and modify.

Now, with the help of the Shadow Spider, these three Japanese superhumans are firmly bound to metal chairs.

Cui Ming slightly raised his hand, and the power of Dan Shi that had sealed their consciousness dissipated, allowing the three Japanese monsters to gradually regain their senses.

But to their horror, they discovered that not only were their meridians sealed, but they could hardly move at all, while complex runes shimmered on the ceiling.

Cui Ming stood calmly in front of them.

He didn't waste time asking questions; he simply extended his right hand, applying pressure with both the power of the pill and the power of the soul.

Like fine threads, they slowly probed into the bandaged man's brow.

The bandaged man's eyes showed extreme fear, and he was about to struggle.

However, the illusion array on the ceiling took effect simultaneously, causing the three of them to freeze in shock.

The power of the Dan Shi (丹噬) is primarily for control, while the power of the divine soul is primarily for penetration...

Soon, Cui Ming shattered the bandaged man's mental defenses and began to recklessly rummage through his memories.

Practice makes perfect, after having opened so many minds.

Cui Ming's methods of accessing memories became increasingly sophisticated, while causing less and less damage to the brain.

The memories I see are becoming more complete, unlike before when all I saw after prying open my consciousness were fragments.

What now unfolds before Cui Ming is a vast library, with rows of bookshelves standing inside.

Each item contains the bandaged man's memories, abilities, and skills...

Furthermore, they are arranged chronologically from most recent to furthest.

The closer something is to Cui Ming, the closer it is to the present time.

If Cui Ming wanted to access the memories beyond, he only needed to think about it, and the bookshelves would slide the books containing the memories he needed directly to his eyes.

Cui Ming first took a leisurely stroll and looked around the bookshelf displaying the bandaged man's abilities and skills.
