Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

His face was also covered by bone armor, revealing only a pair of crimson eyes.

The bone spear he was holding had also changed; the shaft had become thicker and heavier, and the bone spikes seemed to retract and extend as if they were alive, making it even more ferocious and terrifying.

The current Kyokotsu looks exactly like a White Bone Demon.

"Hahaha! Keep going, keep going!"

Mad Bone growled, the sound coming from beneath his bone armor, carrying a muffled quality.

Just as Kyokotsu was being arrogant, the sniper-type puppet in the distance fired crossbow bolts again.

Dozens of pale blue crossbow bolts pierced the night sky and hurtled toward him.

Instead of dodging, Kyokotsu went to meet him head-on.

Just as the crossbow bolt was about to hit him, bone spurs all over his body suddenly shot out simultaneously.

shhhhhh!

Countless bone spikes flew out from his body, colliding with the crossbow bolts in mid-air.

The bone spikes and crossbow bolts canceled each other out, creating a dense burst of cracking sounds.

But there were clearly more bone spikes, which not only pierced through the crossbow bolts but also struck the surrounding puppets.

Puff puff!

The bone spikes struck the puppets, piercing straight through their bodies.

Then it grew a second time inside the puppet, penetrating the entire puppet from the inside.

Those puppets that were shot instantly turned into piles of scrap metal, completely losing their ability to move.

As Kuang Gu landed, the bone armor on his body became thinner due to the shooting bone spikes, but he was not afraid at all; on the contrary, he was even more excited.

He brandished the bone spear in his hand, pointing it in the direction from which the crossbow bolts had come, his face showing an arrogant and unruly expression.

"Again!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than dozens more crossbow bolts came flying.

Just as Mad Bones was about to swing his bone spear to block and launch another barrage of bone spikes in retaliation, his expression suddenly changed.

The crossbow bolts actually burst into flames in the night sky. Mad Bones wasn't stupid; he naturally understood that these crossbow bolts were probably loaded with gunpowder.

He picked up the bone spear and hurled it directly in the direction from which the crossbow bolts were coming.

The bone spear flew out and arrived first, but it collided with the incoming crossbow bolts midway.

However, the bone spear thrown by Mad Bones exploded instantly just before making contact.

The bone spear transformed into a shower of bone spikes, intercepting all the incoming crossbow bolts mid-flight.

The explosion and smoke from the interception filled the entire dark alley.

Mad Bone dared not be careless, and once again conjured two bone short spears in his hands, ready for battle.

Does this guy completely disregard his surroundings? He's actually using gunpowder?

Unfortunately, he was too naive. After so many years of fighting, Kyokotsu's fighting awareness had long since evolved.

He was adept at dealing with such attacks that combined modern gunpowder techniques.

Even firearms are not difficult for modern superhumans to dodge, as long as they are aware of the danger.

But before the smoke and dust had completely dissipated, a commotion and footsteps came from behind Kuang Gu.

He turned around abruptly and saw countless torches lit up at the end of the dark alley in the distance.

Groups of people dressed in different clothes were surging towards this side.

There were samurai with long swords at their waists, bodyguards in black suits, Onmyoji holding talismans to summon shikigami, and many military police carrying guns and torches.

The various factions within Osaka Castle were finally alerted.

Kuang Gu's heart sank.

He knew he had made a huge fuss.

This is not the middle of nowhere, nor a remote town, but the wealthy district of Osaka Castle.

The commotion just now had already alerted countless people.

This guy! Is that what he's planning?

Damn it!

Mad Bone gritted his teeth and turned to run away.

But those puppets didn't give him that chance.

The earthworm emerged from the ground again and wrapped itself around his leg;

Shadow spiders swarmed from all directions, blocking his path.

With a furious roar, Kuang Gu wielded his two bone spears with incredible speed, shredding the puppets that tried to block his advance to shreds.

But more and more puppets kept surging forward, giving him no chance to escape.

In the distance, the people from various factions were getting closer and closer.

A resolute glint flashed in Kuang Gu's eyes.

He knew that if he didn't leave now, it would be too late.

He took a deep breath, and his entire skeleton underwent another transformation, becoming even whiter.

The two bone spears in his hands suddenly broke, turning into countless fragments that shot out in all directions.

When the bone spikes collided with the bone armor on the body of the mad bone, they split further and shot out more and finer bone spikes.

Puff puff!

Suddenly, a white light flashed across the sky, as if a snowstorm was falling in the dark alley, but this snow was extremely sharp.

The snowflakes shot out rapidly, piercing through countless puppets in the surrounding area.

As the bone fragments were pierced, they proliferated wildly, shattering the puppets completely.

At the same time, the snow also lashed out at the pursuers in the distance, forcing them to stop their pursuit.

They all hid on either side of the entrance to the dark alley, not daring to step inside.

With his escape route blocked and no other option, Kyokotsu had no choice but to break through in the direction from which the crossbow bolts were coming.

Once the snow stopped and the dust settled, the islanders at the entrance of the dark alley dared to peek out.

But all that could be seen was a pale-faced figure, brandishing a bone spear and charging forward, seemingly about to break through the encirclement.

The crowd that had been surrounding them was not about to let this opportunity slip by.

"White Wilderness Snow?! It really is Mad Bones! Chase after him!"

A powerful, aged roar came from behind.

Without turning his head, Kuang Gu quickened his pace and fled desperately.

The puppets, which had been like a surging tide, had vanished without a trace.

Kyokotsu didn't have time to think it through. Given his past actions, if he didn't escape quickly, he would be surrounded and killed in Osaka Castle!

He was incredibly fast, becoming a white blur in the night, weaving through alleys, leaping over walls, and sprinting towards the outskirts of the city.

But the pursuers were also moving fast.

At the very front was an old man dressed in traditional samurai attire, holding a long sword; he was none other than Yagyu Muneyoshi of the Yagyu family.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Mad Bones's back, his eyes filled with hatred.

"Mad Bones!"

Yagyu Muneyoshi roared angrily.

"I will kill you today!"

Mad Bones didn't turn around, but he secretly groaned inwardly.

He knew better than anyone the blood feud between the Yagyu family and the yokai alliance.

Over the years, at least three members of the Yagyu family's direct line have died at his hands.

He even personally killed Yagyu Muneyoshi's son.

This old man is definitely going to risk his life today.

Sure enough, Yagyu Muneyoshi's speed suddenly increased dramatically, and in the blink of an eye, he caught up to Kyokotsu within ten feet of him.

He swung his longsword, and a sharp blade of energy slashed towards Kuang Gu's back.

Mad Bones dodged to the side, but the blade's energy merely grazed his bone armor, leaving a deep crack in it.

"You old fool! You've got some nerve!"

Mad Bones roared and thrust out with his spear in a backhand motion.

The bone spear clashed with the longsword, producing a piercing metallic clang.

Yagyu Muneyoshi was forced back three steps, and Kyokotsu also staggered.

But this delay allowed the pursuers to close in by several feet.

Kyokotsu dared not linger in the fight and turned to continue his escape.

Yagyu Muneyoshi caught up again, unleashing a flurry of slashes with his long sword, each strike faster and more ruthless than the last.

As Kyokotsu fled and blocked, he gradually became more exhausted.

His bone armor was damaged in many places, and the bone spear on his back was only half left.

That last move, shooting out bone spikes, had used up too much of his strength.

"Kyoukotsu, you're not getting away today!"

Yagyu Muneyoshi roared and slashed down with his sword again.

Mad Bone gritted his teeth, ready to fight to the death. If he could just hold off this wave, he would have a chance to break through the city gate!

With his bone spear swung and thrown, Kyokotsu used the same trick again, using the bone spikes to explode and force Yagyu Muneyoshi back.
