Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

Three flying guillotines flew swiftly towards them.

The moment they take off, their intricate internal mechanisms are activated, and the surface of the small bell unfolds like a lotus flower, instantly stretching and transforming.

With a soft sound, countless sharp, rotating blades were revealed inside.

Before the three ninjas could even react, three flying guillotines were already flying towards them.

Crack!

The helmets were wrapped around the ninjas' heads, and in the next instant, the three heads wearing protective helmets were easily removed.

The cut was smooth and clean, and fresh blood gushed out of the headless body like a fountain.

Three heads were flung out, and the blood-dripping guillotine did not land after completing its harvest.

Instead, under Cui Ming's precise control, it floated and spun as if it had a life of its own, silently flying towards the area where the ninjas were resting.

Chapter 23 Still sleeping? I'm here to take you in!

After dealing with the ninjas responsible for the handover, Cui Ming himself moved like a ghost.

The backpack on his back opened automatically, and six mechanical arms, which had been specially enhanced by Cui Ming and were now flashing with dark blue runes, instantly extended.

Using hidden threads to continuously drift through the mine, supported by six mechanical arms, he moved like a giant spider, crawling at an astonishing speed toward the other three ninjas lurking underground.

Cui Ming used the pulling thread to control the hidden line, suspending himself in mid-air without making a sound.

Inside the rest area, the other three ninjas who were also resting gradually realized that something was wrong.

Why hasn't the person on shift change arrived yet? Did they go off somewhere to slack off again?

It's no wonder they were so lax. After six months of continuous duty, they hadn't seen a single ghost, which naturally made them complacent.

But then, a sharp whooshing sound came from behind.

Before they could react and sound the alarm, three deadly flying guillotines had already pierced through the air and arrived!

"Enemy attack!"

One of the ninjas who reacted only had time to let out a short cry of surprise before the flying dart was already upon him.

He twisted and dodged desperately, but the spinning blade still grazed his protective suit, leaving a trail of blood and torn fabric, and a deep, bone-revealing wound under his ribs.

But the guy behind this ninja wasn't so lucky.

A flying guillotine, like a ring, precisely slipped around its neck.

It let out terrified whimpers, frantically tearing at the cold metal of the blood-dripping guillotine with its hands.

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out.

The ninja's legs buckled and he collapsed to his knees, his hands hanging limply at his sides. His body fell upwards onto the ground, blood spurting out and splashing onto his companions and the stone wall.

With a click, the mechanism was triggered, and the ninja's head, filled with terror and tears, landed precisely on the headless body.

The flying guillotine remained suspended, and struck again in the next instant.

The last ninja was terrified and frantically swung his kunai in an attempt to block.

The flying guillotine collided with the kunai in its hand, producing a piercing metallic clang.

The powerful force emanating from the kunai forced it to retreat, leaving several wounds on its body. Its protective suit was tattered, and the skin around the wounds was faintly visible turning black.

Clearly, the blades of the flying guillotine were coated with a deadly poison.

Cui Ming was distracted while controlling the three blood-dripping guillotines, his brows furrowed slightly.

These ninjas, wearing protective suits, hindered the Blood Droplets' fatal strike to some extent.

We've already obtained the data, so there's no need to drag it out any longer.

With a thought, the three Blood Droplets that were besieging the two ninjas suddenly disintegrated!

With a whoosh, it broke apart into eighteen smaller, more agile Shadow Spider puppets.

They appeared in the air like a black tide, instantly engulfing the two ninjas who were still putting up a stubborn resistance.

"Ugh..."

The screams were abruptly cut off.

The shudder spiders used their sharp legs and disposable crossbow bolts mounted on their abdomens to frantically cut and shoot.

Under their combined attack, the protective suit was torn apart like a piece of paper in an instant.

The two ninjas didn't even have a chance to struggle before they were completely torn apart, turning into a pile of blurry, bloody fragments.

Almost at the same time that the battle in the rest area ended, Cui Ming was already hanging like a spider directly above the last three Potato Lightning Ninjas.

They truly are a bunch of rats who can't stand the light of day.

For more than a month, these potato mines have remained in the same location.

After digging three holes, every day he would remove his disguise and jump into them to sleep.

Since you love sleeping so much, then you can sleep for the rest of your lives.

Cui Ming activated the Five Treasures Protective Technique to its fullest extent, and a faint blue light emanated from his body.

He manipulated the strange true qi within his body, which contained radiant energy, and blended it into a completely new kind of qi poison.

Cui Ming manipulated the Qi poison, sending it into the soil on the ground, where it seeped through various rock walls and soil, continuously penetrating downwards.

Deep underground, three lurking ninjas were in a semi-conscious state.

They wear heavy protective suits, which, while shielding them from most of the radiation, also dull their senses of the environment.

But it doesn't matter to them, since nobody comes to this godforsaken place anyway.

This made it easier for Cui Ming to carry out his duties.

At first, they only felt that the surrounding soil seemed to have become a little warmer, and a lazy sense of comfort quietly spread throughout their bodies, dispelling the chill and fatigue of the late night.

"Strange...why is it suddenly warm?"

One of the ninjas was thinking in a daze, and even adjusted his posture comfortably.

This warm, motherly embrace is so inviting that one can't help but immerse oneself in it.

However, this warmth is the most deadly trap.

Cui Ming's radiation-infused Qi ignored their protective suits, penetrating directly through them and acting directly on their bodies.

Like frogs being slowly boiled in water, by the time they realize something is wrong, it's too late to turn the tide.

But... they seemed unaware, vanishing in an endless, warm embrace.

The internal organs began to rapidly fail under the corrosive effects of radiation.

The blood becomes viscous and stagnates in the blood vessels.

The bones become brittle, and the bone marrow gradually dries up.

Before the intense pain could even travel through their nerves to their brains, the lives of the three underground ninjas came to an end.

After Cui Ming confirmed through his senses that the vital signs of the ninja below had completely disappeared, he slowly stopped his practice.

With a gentle flip, it landed on its feet, and a mechanical arm plunged deep into the ground, lifting up the entire surface for a closer look.

In an instant, the protective suits of the three ninjas vanished, revealing their original clothing.

The three ninjas remained in their concealed positions, their faces serene as if they had witnessed something beautiful, and each of them wore a genuine smile.

However, they all had black pus and blood flowing from their seven orifices, and their exposed skin was an abnormal bluish-black color and began to show signs of ulceration.

His death was gruesome, yet strangely peaceful.

Thus, in less than half an incense stick's time, the nine ninjas in the mine were wiped out by Cui Ming with lightning speed.

Without pausing for a moment, Cui Ming quickly used the mental link to notify Xuan Su and the other modified animals to come in and clean up the battlefield.

Then, Cui Ming turned his gaze toward the entrance of the mine, a slight smile playing on his lips.

There are four distinguished guests outside; it's time to prepare a grand welcoming ceremony for them.

He walked to the mountain of uranium ore and felt the wonderful resonance between his internal energy and the ore.

Once again, he took control of the Shadow Spider puppet, carrying various materials, and began setting up at the entrance passage and key nodes of the mine.

The three ordinary ninjas are insignificant; the key is to capture the leader alive.

Perfect timing... the illusion array runes I researched earlier can come in handy now.

Chapter 24 Illusion Array

After a flurry of activity, the mine was finally cleaned up, and the stench of blood was neutralized by Cui Ming's specially made powder.

It's no wonder they're from an assassin family; they have a complete range of medicinal powder formulas. Cui Ming has truly climbed on the shoulders of giants.

Through a series of arrangements, the entire mine is now filled with Cui Ming's disguised puppets.

Based on a month of observation and analysis of the ninjas' activity patterns, Cui Ming has deduced the best route for the small team outside.

A relatively flat, simply repaired, hidden mine tunnel.

Thanks to the six mechanical arms behind him, Cui Ming was able to meticulously design a complete set of illusionary runes in one night on this mine tunnel.

The runes that were originally used by the Japanese to isolate and seal radiation energy were also copied and improved by Cui Ming and added to the illusion array.

Now, as soon as one steps into the illusion array, the Qi within the body will be suppressed, making it difficult to mobilize.

In addition, with the illusion runes that Cui Ming stole from the Tang Tomb, he can definitely give the other party a good time.

To prevent the enemy from sensing the Qi and becoming alert, Cui Ming even thoughtfully inscribed runes on the Shadow Spider puppet.

Once the opponent enters the depths of the illusion array, the puppet will then take its place and trigger the array, making it absolutely impossible to defend against without a sound.

Unfortunately, it was only set up hastily; otherwise, if all the runes of the illusion array were inscribed on the puppet, it would have become a living illusion array.

However, dealing with these people outside shouldn't be a problem right now.

Now he just needs to lie low and wait for the unsuspecting prey outside to fall into the trap.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, a small team of four slowly appeared at the mine.
