Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

"What strange Qi! It can actually erode my Golden Light Mantra?!"

Zhang Zhiwei's initial contempt vanished instantly, and his gaze turned serious.

This junior brother Cui is indeed extraordinary!

He no longer arrogantly stood still.

Suddenly, a burst of golden light shone from his body!

His arms were seemingly casually extended, swept, and swung!

A powerful yet flexible energy emanated from him!

The rain of arrows that swept in from all directions was completely deflected and diverted by his seemingly casual move.

As if an invisible hand had parted them, countless arrows scattered across the ground with a clatter.

The previously somewhat gloomy sky was suddenly cleared away in an instant!

Taking advantage of this brief gap, Zhang Zhiwei's eyes flashed like lightning, already catching up with the rain of arrows from before.

With his extraordinary perception and calculation skills, he was able to roughly estimate the hiding locations of most of the Shadow Spider puppets.

He casually picked up a handful of arrows that had been deflected by the Golden Light Spell from the ground, and without even looking at them, flicked his wrist!

Whoosh whoosh!

Those ordinary arrows, in his hands, now seemed to be fired from a powerful bow and crossbow.

It shot with unparalleled precision at the location where the Shadow Spiders were most densely hidden!

A series of clanging and shattering sounds rang out, momentarily halting the arrow barrage from the valley floor!

Chapter 47, Phase Two

And in the instant that the rain of arrows subsided, Zhang Zhiwei moved!

He swayed, leaving only a faint golden afterimage in his wake.

Its true form tore through the air like a ghost, heading straight for Cui Ming!

The ten-zhang distance seemed to disappear beneath his feet; in the blink of an eye, that dazzling golden light had already approached Cui Ming!

Faced with the lightning-fast advance, Cui Ming showed no sign of panic.

With a thought, three more gleaming blood-dripping droplets flew out of the wooden box, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, heading straight for the direction from which Zhang Zhiwei had charged.

At the same time, the six mechanical arms behind Cui Ming, equipped with crossbows, transformed rapidly once again!

The crossbow retracted, its structure reorganized, and spider-like claws extended, instantly transforming into six forearms covered by the mechanism. Sharp claws, gleaming with a cold, eerie blue light, emerged from the knuckles!

It was enveloped in a potent poison made from a rich blend of radioactive true qi, exuding a terrifying aura of destruction, poised to strike!

Zhang Zhiwei, however, remained somewhat indifferent as he watched the flying blood droplets hurtling towards him. At that speed, it would be difficult for them to even touch the hem of his clothes.

He originally planned to easily dodge with his agility, but just as he was about to do so...

A sense of alertness stemming from biological instinct made him change his mind instantly!

He couldn't help but ask himself, would Junior Brother Cui Ming really do something pointless?

No! He must have known that this thing could stop him!

In a flash, his mind moved, and the golden light protecting his body suddenly condensed and took shape!

An incredibly solid golden giant hand appeared out of thin air, sweeping towards the three blood droplets with overwhelming force, intending to knock them away!

Cui Ming, who had been calmly observing the situation, saw that Zhang Zhiwei had made the safest response.

He couldn't help but click his tongue softly.

Just before the giant golden palm was about to strike the Blood Droplet, Cui Ming's hands, which were hanging at his sides, suddenly hooked backward!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three loud explosions, occurring in quick succession, suddenly rang out!

Instead of being smashed, the three flying darts exploded in mid-air like a powder keg being detonated!

Scattered metal fragments hurtled towards them, as if to tear everything around them apart.

But the most deadly thing was not these ordinary metal fragments, but the large amount of dense, dark blue poisonous energy that burst out from inside the flying guillotine with the explosion!

These poisonous energies spread rapidly in all directions like a surging tide, engulfing the giant golden hand and Zhang Zhiwei behind it!

Zhang Zhiwei's expression changed drastically, but it was too late to withdraw the golden light!

The seemingly indestructible golden giant hand, upon contact with the deep blue poison, was as if it had been splashed with strong acid.

The surface emitted a constant hissing sound, and the golden light began to flicker violently. The originally solid form dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

In the blink of an eye, the majestic golden giant hand, under the frenzied erosion of the deep blue Qi poison, made a crisp cracking sound and completely disintegrated, turning into golden light spots scattered all over the sky!

The poisonous Qi spread like a thick fog, obscuring our vision.

Zhang Zhiwei's figure was also swallowed up, and his situation is unclear.

Cui Ming's body radiated true qi, and six mechanical arms covered with spider-shaped gauntlets crossed in front of him to protect him.

A ghostly blue light flickered at the tip of its claws, like a venomous spider poised to pounce, its gaze fixed intently on the surging, deep blue poisonous energy.

The first round of probing and scheming has come to an end...

Hopefully, Zhang Zhiwei will put away his contempt now...

Cui Ming secretly became wary, muttering to himself.

He understood how strong and arrogant Zhang Zhiwei was, so he decided to let him see his methods first.

The real contest has only just begun.

Sizzle—Boom!

A violent clap of thunder suddenly exploded!

The blue poisonous mist that had originally swallowed Zhang Zhiwei was instantly evaporated under the bursts of heavenly thunder.

A dazzling white lightning bolt burst forth from the center, sweeping away the surrounding poisonous fog with unstoppable force.

After the lightning subsided, Zhang Zhiwei's figure was revealed.

He stood still, his clothes moving without any wind.

Tiny white arcs of electricity rippled across its surface, flickering and crackling like dragons.

Instead of the annoyance of being trapped, his face was filled with a burning excitement as he stared intently at Cui Ming.

"Junior Brother Cui, impressive skills!"

Zhang Zhiwei's voice was loud and clear, filled with undisguised admiration.

"Your Tang Clan's Qi poison is indeed unparalleled and unpredictable! It even managed to corrode my Golden Light Mantra."

Upon seeing this, Cui Ming nodded slightly, his tone remaining calm and humble.

"Senior Brother Zhang, you flatter me. You simply didn't go all out at the beginning, and were just testing the waters."

"See, once you get a little serious, this Qi poison can't do anything to you."

"Ha ha!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei habitually scratched the back of his head and laughed heartily.

But his smile quickly faded, and his expression became serious.

"Junior brother, you're too modest. Be careful, because next, your senior brother is about to get serious!"

His words of reminder were both a sign of respect and a declaration that the battle had entered a new phase.

Cui Ming understood immediately, and the true qi within his body circulated faster.

The faint radiation fluctuations around him also became more concentrated.

He knew that the explosion and the poisonous energy he had just experienced were at most just an appetizer.

The real test of his abilities is only just beginning.

The two sides stood about 60 meters apart, exchanging a respectful bow.

"Please!" ×2

Two sharp shouts rang out almost simultaneously!

The next instant, Cui Ming felt a blur before his eyes, and a figure wrapped in dazzling blue and white lightning tore through the air and rushed towards him!

The speed is far greater than before!

Zhang Zhiwei got serious, and his speed had reached a terrifying level!

He no longer relied solely on golden light for defense, but instead chose the most dangerous and intense close-quarters combat!

Fists, palms, fingers, elbows—each strike is deadly!

Enveloped in the most powerful and yang energy of Yang Wu Lei, it transformed into a suffocating thunderstorm, completely engulfing Cui Ming!

Faced with this fierce and relentless offensive, Cui Ming dared not be negligent in the slightest.

He used the Tang Clan's signature move, the "Whispering Step," to its fullest extent, his movements as unpredictable as a willow catkin in the wind, desperately trying to avoid the most fatal blow.

At the same time, the six mechanical arms behind him, equipped with spider-shaped gauntlets and covered with dark blue claws, swung wildly at an unprecedented frequency.

They parried, blocked, stabbed, and swept, engaging Zhang Zhiwei in a fierce battle!

In an instant, only flashes of lightning could be seen on the field, with the dark blue claw shadows intertwining and colliding with the golden fist winds.

It emitted a continuous clanging of metal against metal, as well as the humming sound of air being torn apart and lightning exploding.

Cui Ming had already exerted all his strength, combining his movement skills and mechanical techniques to the highest level.

Only then could he barely keep up with Zhang Zhiwei's terrifying speed, managing to parry his attacks and avoid taking a few punches.

But Zhang Zhiwei's strength was incredibly fierce, and the Yang Five Thunder of Longhu Mountain was truly too brutal.

Surprisingly, his fists and feet also contained a trace of domineering thunder.

In each encounter, even though most of the power was absorbed by the mechanical arm, the wisps of lightning that seeped in still caused Cui Ming considerable trouble.
