Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

Eita didn't come to save her; he came to eat.

In dire straits, he chose the only path that might allow him to survive.

That is to kill all your companions, seize their abilities, and use them to enhance your own strength.

She recalled the legend of the demon sword Hirumaru.

Each wielder in the series will gradually be corrupted by the obsession of the Sword Saint, becoming bloodthirsty and warlike, seeking to fight against the strong.

Xu Duo's Pure Lotus Fire can suppress puppets, which gives Eita hope.

If we could acquire more abilities, perhaps we could truly break through the encirclement.

Even if the price is the slaughter of all fellow disciples.

By the time Butterfly understood everything, the blade was already upon her.

She didn't even see Eita draw his sword.

I felt a chill on my neck, and then my vision started to spin.

Heaven and earth were upside down, and the scenery was blurred.

She saw her headless body standing there, blood gushing from her neck.

Then her vision continued to rotate, finally settling on a spot—she saw the terrified Higanbana ninja not far away.

Butterfly's head finally fell into his arms, and his body slumped to the ground.

His eyes were wide open, and he died with his eyes still open.

Eita flicked the blood off his knife.

The demon sword trembled slightly, and the white flames on its blade brightened by a third.

He could feel a new power surging in—the ability of Cho to control exploding butterflies, though incomplete, had been absorbed by Hirumaru.

He turned around and looked at the last two people.

Mrs. Jing and the translator stood frozen in place.

The translator's face was splattered with Kimura Okataro's blood, and he was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Lady Jing gripped the iron box handle tightly, her knuckles turning white.

"It's your turn."

Eita said.

The translator suddenly burst into a shrill laugh, a laugh as piercing as a ghost.

"You're insane...you're insane! We're all going to die...we're all going to die!"

Eita didn't answer, and strode forward.

Two flashes of light.

The translator's laughter stopped abruptly.

He looked down and saw two crisscrossing knife marks on his chest.

The wound was so deep that bone was visible, and internal organs slid out from the fissure.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but his body was too weak to support him, and he fell forward.

Lady Jing released the iron box and formed a hand seal.

She stuck out her long, thin tongue, the tip of which was forked like a snake's tongue, and aimed it at Eita's eyes, the tip of which shimmered with a blue light.

This was her final counterattack, and also a secret technique she had never revealed to anyone.

Madam Jing can control some of the toxins she absorbs. She is not a pure doctor, but an extraordinary person who cultivates evil and strange techniques.

But Eita simply raised his sword.

The demonic blade sliced ​​through the tongue, and blood gushed from the severed end.

Lady Jing screamed and staggered back, covering her mouth with both hands.

Eita took another step forward, the blade piercing her heart.

Madam Jing's body trembled, and the light in her eyes quickly faded.

She looked at Eita, her lips moved, and she silently uttered two words.

Then he died.

Homer stood ten feet away and witnessed the whole thing.

His metallic skin had a dull luster, and pale golden liquid kept seeping from the hollow in his chest.

That is the essence of alchemy that sustains the body.

The battle with the Taotie and the wolf had exhausted him greatly, and he was now nearing his limit.

But he still couldn't understand what was happening before his eyes.

"Eita..."

Homer's voice was hoarse.

"You...you bastard! Even if you kill us...and take our power...do you think you can escape all by yourself?"

Eita turned around and looked at Homer.

His manic smile remained, but a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.

"The only solution is to kill you all."

Eita said, word by word.

"Only then could I have a chance to survive."

He strode forward.

Homer roared, and his metallic skin turned a dark red once more.

He unleashed both fists, each punch accompanied by a sonic boom; this was his last bit of strength.

But Eita neither dodged nor avoided it.

The demon sword Hirumaru met the two fists head-on.

The blade clashed with the metal fist, sparks flying.

Homer's fist was incredibly hard, but Eita's knife was faster and more cunning.

By the time he swung the third sword, Eita Nikaido had already found an opening.

The moment Homer retracted his right fist, his chest was wide open.

Eita steps forward and swings upward.

The blade flashed upwards, slicing across Homer's chest and abdomen.

Homer froze.

He looked down and saw a thin line on his chest.

The line extends from his lower abdomen to his collarbone, and then his upper body slides along this line.

The alchemically enhanced metallic skin was as fragile as paper in front of the demon sword.

The two severed bodies lay on the ground, with little blood flowing from the cut surfaces.

Alchemy is not without its price, and for Homer, that price was the conversion of his blood into energy for alchemy.

Homer is now exhausted, his life force drained.

Even if Eita doesn't intervene, Homer won't live much longer.

At this moment, Homer's upper body was still writhing. He looked at Eita, and the last glimmer in his eyes was deep resentment and unwillingness.

Then it vanished like quicksand.

At this point, all of the remaining Higanbana ninjas, except for Eita Nikaido and the old ninja leader who was still fighting in the puppet sea, had perished.

Deep underground, Cui Ming watched all of this unfold.

He wasn't surprised.

He was very clear about the abilities of the demon sword Hirumaru; every wielder in the past would eventually become a demon who only knew how to kill.

In a desperate situation, it's perfectly normal for Eita to choose the path of betrayal.

It's just a pity about Xu Duo.

After overusing the Pure Lotus Flame, his body became completely brittle and could no longer be used as material for a human puppet.

The other bodies were intact, especially Homer's.

A body enhanced by alchemy is excellent material for a human puppet.

Cui Ming's mind stirred slightly.

From the crevices in the rock wall, several shadow spiders quietly crawled out and began to carry away the corpse.

Kimura Okataro's head and body were pieced together, Cho's headless corpse was dragged away, and the bodies of Ittosai, Lady Kyo, and the translator were also moved one by one.

Homer's two body sections were quite heavy, requiring the combined strength of three Shadow Spiders.

These bodies will be transported to the workshop at the entrance, where Bai Lian will perform initial processing.

Afterwards, they will become new members of Cui Ming's puppet army.

But for now, there's one last show to watch.

After killing all his companions, Eita turned his attention to the old ninja in the sea of ​​puppets.

He carried the demon sword, stepped over the blood-soaked ground, and walked towards the battlefield.

The white flames on the blade stood out starkly against the poisonous fog.

Wherever he went, even the poisonous fog would automatically dissipate, leaving him a path.

This was all the result of Cui Ming's manipulation.

He was happy to see this dog-eat-dog drama unfold.
