Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

Meanwhile, on the other side, eight members of the Quanxing sect, led by someone who appeared to be their leader, were intently watching the battlefield of the puppets and cannon fodder, chanting incantations.

"Night Slayer, Black-Faced Owl, Corpse-Tearing Tiger... they've all gone missing... no, it seems they're lackeys who've switched sides?"

A one-eyed man with a face full of scars looked at the scene before him, which resembled a painting of hell, and his first thought was actually about the identities of the three human puppets.

Meanwhile, on the caravan side, Wan Qian and the others also witnessed this heart-shaking scene through the gaps in the cargo boxes.

"Young Master Cui Ming truly possesses supernatural abilities!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Wan Qian was not afraid at all; instead, he was filled with admiration.

The caravan members glanced at him with some surprise, but then, remembering that these bandits intended to rob and kill them, they quickly understood.

Chapter 53 Elite Army vs. Rabble

Cui Ming was hiding on a hilltop a kilometer away, his mind like a scattered spider web.

Using countless Shadow Spiders as sensory nodes, he calmly observed the killing drama he had orchestrated.

Under his precise control, the three puppets were like three highly efficient killing machines, shattering the Quanxing demons' lines.

Cui Ming used the Night Slayer's ability to transform his shadow into arrows, which were then fired by the Shadow Spiders.

If you don't dodge, you'll be severely injured even if you don't die; if you do dodge the surrounding shadows, the Night Slayer will become your playground.

Add to that the rampaging attacks of the Black-faced Owl and the Corpse-Shattering Tiger, who were willing to trade blows for injuries.

These rabble had no choice but to flee for their lives.

But underground, in the grass, on the branches...

Shadow Spiders were everywhere.

A direct confrontation with the Shadow Spider would cause it to explode on the spot, releasing a corrosive toxic mist. However, when the three human puppets were connected to Cui Ming's radiated true qi, they would not be affected by the toxic mist.

In this wave, Cui Ming seized all the advantages of timing, location, and popular support.

Furthermore, he has his own substitute puppet, which fills in any gaps on the battlefield and swiftly eliminates any stragglers it finds.

Cui Ming looked at his puppet army's battle strategy and nodded with some satisfaction.

"The performance was acceptable, and it initially verified the feasibility of puppet swarm operations."

Cui Ming calmly assessed the situation, much like an engineer inspecting product performance.

The only thing that surprised him was the indifference within the Quanxing sect.

Knowing that their fellow disciples on the right had been slaughtered, these guys on the left have actually remained inactive for so long.

It wasn't until he drove the survivors out and slaughtered them in public that he forced out some of the men who felt their dignity had been damaged.

Indeed, the Quanxing sect's level of organization makes it less of a sect and more of a pack of hyenas driven by primal desires.

But soon his attention was drawn to the remaining eight-man squad that had not yet made a move, especially the one-eyed man with a scarred face at the head of the squad.

The aura emanating from the other party was upright and condensed, carrying an almost rigid sense of order, which was completely out of place with the chaotic evil of the Quanxing demons around them.

What concerned Cui Ming even more was that the other party seemed to recognize the three Night Demons. Through the hidden Night Demon, Cui Ming read words like "disappeared" and "defected" from Gao Gen's lip movements.

After searching through the memories of the three Night Demons, their identities were confirmed.

"Gao Gen..."

Upon hearing this name, Cui Ming retrieved related information from the depths of his memory.

Gao Gen is the legitimate successor of the Yi Qi Sect.

Dissatisfied with the sect's extreme actions and tendency to implicate others, he chose to defect and join the Quanxing sect.

However, it uses its unique standards to identify those among the entire sect who are deemed deserving of death.

Judging from the crisscrossing scars on his face and his blind eye, he had clearly been struggling in the quagmire of Quanxing for quite some time.

But strangely...

"He's never been one to act alone, so why would he lead such a rabble to cause trouble for the caravan?"

Cui Ming was filled with doubt, then he remembered something a member of the Quanxing sect had said before...

"There was a guy on the right who said before he died, 'Isn't Night Slayer dead?'... So, could Gao Gen be here to hunt down Night Slayer and his gang?"

"I suppose I dealt with all these people before him and turned three of them into human puppets, so the others would be considered missing in his eyes."

"He tracked us here, so he must suspect a connection to the caravan, which is why... he gathered a group of cannon fodder to test the waters?"

The logical chain gradually became clear, and Cui Ming understood.

"Unfortunately, now that we've recognized them and even managed to get close to the caravan... there's even less reason for us to keep you here."

A cold glint flashed in Cui Ming's eyes, and his killing intent surged!

Originally, Cui Ming only intended to defeat them, but now he has indeed changed his mind.

He wanted to keep all of these people, including Gao Gen, alive!

This group of people knew of the Night Slayer's existence. They would let ordinary people go, but they couldn't let any of the supernatural beings escape.

Once the decision was made, the puppet army's offensive on the battlefield suddenly became even more ferocious.

The three puppets went even further, moving with unrestrained abandon and showing no fear of injury.

The Shadow Spiders charged forward fearlessly, disregarding costs, all in order to reach the enemy.

If it fails to cause damage, it will self-destruct, causing the toxic fog to spread further.

As the puppets continued their attacks, the Quanxing members were forced into a series of retreats, their space for maneuver gradually being eroded.

Unbeknownst to them, a series of bewitching fluctuations were gradually spreading, constantly eroding all of Quanxing, and even Gao Gen couldn't help but frown.

Gao Gen felt that the current situation seemed to be getting out of his control.

He had a vague sense of unease, as if an invisible hand was slowly choking him, making it hard for him to breathe.

'What exactly happened?'

A growing sense of unease made it difficult for Gao Gen to maintain a calm mind.

Finally, even when a member of the Quanxing faction used a fan to spray poison powder, he was unable to stop the Corpse-Shattering Tiger's advance.

Instead, it accidentally injured friendly forces, causing a Quanxing warrior to freeze and be crushed to death by the Corpse-Shattering Tiger.

Gao Gen could no longer hold back and roared out in anger!

"A bunch of useless trash! Get him! The mastermind hasn't made a move yet!"

With a wave of his hand, Gao Gen brought out seven Quanxing members who were significantly more impressive in appearance than the previous cannon fodder.

The first person to appear was dressed in a dark blue outfit.

He leaped high into the air and spewed out a burst of scorching flames from his mouth!

For a moment, this slowed down the Shadow Spider's offensive.

The next to make a move was a woman with a crazed expression, wielding two long whips.

With a burst of wild laughter, the whip, like a raging python, swept across the area.

Once again, a space was cleared out.

The remaining members of Quanxing felt as if they had found their backbone.

They all moved closer to them.

The remaining five of the seven split into two groups, each blocking Black-faced Owl and Corpse-Shattering Tiger respectively.

The last person practiced a sound wave-based technique.

He wore a bamboo hat and stood in the center of the formation formed by the Quanxing members, holding a bronze gong in one hand and a snow-white bone club in the other.

Ta-da!

They started knocking, and strangely enough...

Under his sonic attack, the gradually drifting poisonous mist was slowly pushed back and gradually thinned out.

Even the continuous rain of arrows was significantly weakened by the sonic attack.

Under the protection of this sound wave, the Quanxing members could easily knock down the arrows with a slight vibration of their Qi.

Unfortunately, although this watchman can provide such convenience to all the people of Quanxing.

Completeness...

They were never a team player, and they never cooperated at all.

At first, the watchman's sonic waves could provide protection for all the members of the Quanxing sect.

But gradually, the Quanxing people realized that they themselves were also under attack from the watchman's sonic waves.

The resounding clangs not only injured the puppets and hindered their attack, but also struck the very hearts and minds of everyone in the Quanxing sect.

Chapter 54 My Lord! Times have changed!

Cui Ming looked at these Quanxing members and was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

You might say they weren't cooperating, but they knew to clear out a safe space for activities.

You'd think they were working together, but the scene is even more lively now than before those seven people left the field.

Leaving aside the night watchman who attacked the group, there was also that crazy woman who dared to hit anyone when she went mad.

From what Cui Ming saw, quite a few Quanxing members who wouldn't have died so quickly shuddered after being hit by her whip in time to dodge.

It wasn't that it was torn apart by a puppet and its head was removed.

He was embraced by the Shadow Spiders and fell asleep, never to wake up again.

Those who weren't dead asleep would be bitten by that traitor from the Huode Sect who had sided with Quanxing, and given a human-shaped torch.

Of course, quite a few Shadow Spiders were also lost.

However, to be fair, under such crazy exchanges...

The number of Shadow Spiders is indeed declining rapidly, and Cui Ming has achieved his goal.
