Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

"Life is full of disappointments. You should think carefully about what I told Cui Ming."

"Come with me, some things should be settled soon..."

After this incident, the Grand Gu Master seemed to have gained some insight and made up his mind.

He led Wei Shufen and her group deeper into Qinghe Town.

On the other side, Cui Ming and Yong En immediately increased their speed to the maximum after leaving Qinghe Town.

Without the burden of Wei Shufen and the other Gu Masters, the two unleashed their full power, speeding through the towering mountains of western Hunan like two ghosts.

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. These two people were highly skilled and daring, and they traversed the most treacherous mountain forests.

Traveling day and night, with his inner energy surging endlessly, he was determined to return to the Earth Vein Village before the crisis fully erupted.

Finally, on the morning of the second day, the two arrived at the entrance of the mine where they had previously met Wei Shufen and the others.

Only when they arrived at this point did Cui Ming slow down, releasing dozens of Shadow Spiders from the mechanism box on his back, which then spread out in all directions.

The two of them continued to slowly make their way towards the village of the earth veins. After all, no one knew if there were any ambushes along the way, so it was always better to be cautious.

At the same time, Cui Ming closed his eyes and began to sense the several disguised puppets that had been previously placed around the perimeter of the Earth Vein Village.

Using these specially made reconnaissance golems, he began to constantly sense the situation around the Leyline Village.

A discovery was made quickly, just as expected!

Inside the cave leading to the village of the earth veins, a group of about ten people, dressed in dark, close-fitting clothing suitable for movement in the mountains, and carrying samurai swords, were seen.

They were engaged in a fierce battle with the wandering earth spirits in the winding, cavernous passage.

Judging from the exhaustion of both sides and the signs of damage inside the cave, the battle had clearly been going on for quite some time.

The wandering immortals made full use of their familiarity with the terrain to maximize their home-field advantage.

They did not engage in direct combat with the enemy, their figures appearing and disappearing among the hard rock walls and ground.

To these Japanese spies, they were like slippery eels.

Sometimes, arms would reach out from the ground or rock face beneath or to the side of the enemy, attempting to pull them into the ground or into a crevice.

Sometimes this causes the stone cones at the top of the cave to suddenly fall;

Or they could suddenly raise sharp stone pillars on the enemy's likely route to interfere with and block their advance.

These Japanese devils and strange people were clearly not easy to deal with.

They cooperated seamlessly, their offense and defense were well-organized, and their swordsmanship was sharp and unpredictable.

But strangely enough, Cui Ming could clearly sense the nonchalance of these Japanese devils.

It was like a reactive, defensive maneuver, slowly advancing the battle line.

On the contrary, the Earthly Immortals were clearly struggling to hold on.

Cui Ming sensed that one of the wandering immortals had a wound on his arm, and the blood was still wet.

Presumably, he was injured when he tried to sink someone into the ground and was attacked by the opponent who was prepared.

After learning their lesson, the Earth Wanderers became more cautious and no longer approached easily, relying instead on the natural barriers of the caves and their special abilities to maneuver around the inhabitants.

However, no matter how large the cave is or how winding the passage is, there is ultimately a limit.

The stone cones and true qi that can be utilized are by no means inexhaustible.

Meanwhile, the foreigners from the East are gradually clearing away obstacles and advancing inward at a steady pace.

This feeling puzzled the Earth Wanderers. Weren't they afraid that we would simply burrow underground to seek help from outside?

Starting late last night, these Japanese devils began their slow advance, dragging their feet all night long.

They've had several groups of immortals come and go, but they still look like unhurried old ladies.

Even at this slow pace, it's only a matter of time before they break through the cave defenses and enter the real ley line village.

At this moment, both sides are still playing a relatively conservative offensive and defensive game.

Neither of them had reached the point of fighting to the death. If the Earthly Immortal were to fight desperately and force a one-for-one exchange, it would be easy to send the person underground and suffocate them to death.

At this moment, the steadfast wandering immortals, though weary on the face, still held hope in their eyes.

The longer the time drags on, the more advantageous it is for the Earthly Immortals; their current core tactic is simply to stall.

The Earth Wanderers were in no hurry. With Earth Vein Village right behind them, they could keep rotating their forces to wear down the Japanese devils.

But what they didn't know was that the Japanese devils hadn't been going all out in their previous attack.

After all, their real purpose was to put pressure on Di Youxian from the front, forcing him to seek help from outside and attracting the attention of Miao Jiang.

This creates an opportunity for their accomplices within the Miao region to strike again.

But at that moment, Cui Ming suddenly sensed a strange Qi.

The leader of the Japanese devils, a strange man, suddenly stopped moving. He tilted his ear as if listening to some message, and then his expression changed drastically.

His previous calm and playful expression vanished instantly, replaced by urgency and ruthlessness.

"Stop playing around! Something's not right over in Miao territory!"

He shouted sternly in neon.

"Quickly finish them off! Take them down now!"

Upon receiving the order, the auras of the other Japanese superhumans suddenly surged, and the nonchalant look in their eyes was instantly replaced by a cold killing intent.

The attack instantly became incredibly fierce, with sword light like a waterfall and Qi energy surging forth, leaving no room for retreat.

Just then, a wandering immortal attempted to repeat his previous trick, manipulating several sharp rock spikes from above the cave and hurling them down at the densely packed enemy below.

However, the moment he emerged from the rock wall, several Japanese soldiers below, who were already prepared, swung their swords almost simultaneously!

Several condensed, arc-shaped blade energies, like sharp teeth ready to devour their prey, crisscrossed and blocked all possible escape routes, slashing with unparalleled precision towards the location of this wandering immortal.

The immortal's face turned deathly pale instantly. He was about to crawl back into the rock wall when he was surprised to find that his body was inexplicably unable to move.

He could only watch helplessly as the crisscrossing blade energy hurtled towards him.

At the critical moment!

A blurry black shadow appeared in front of the wandering immortal in an instant!

Chapter 100 Fleeting Moments

Clang clang clang!!

The sharp blade energy struck the dark figure, producing a metallic clang.

It turned out that the dark figure was Cui Ming's stand-in puppet. With his hands in front of him, the sword energy was completely corroded by the radiated true qi in front of the puppet, turning into dust and dissipating.

Just as the stand-in puppet attracted all the Japanese soldiers' attention.

Almost simultaneously, from the side and rear of this group of Japanese monsters.

With her ghostly and alluring figure wielding twin swords, Yongen quietly appeared among the Onmyoji and Divine Servant groups responsible for rear support and control within this squad of Japanese supernatural beings.

The next moment, a new moon slowly rose in the cave.

The sword light illuminated the entire cave, and in the next instant, several heads slid off.

These Onmyoji and Divine Servants were unaware that a great killing god had appeared beside them.

Suddenly, my vision blurred, and I saw a familiar figure...

'Huh?! Isn't that...me?'

Several jets of blood gushed out, and the remaining Japanese assailants finally reacted, their faces filled with shock.

They never expected that the figure above them was just there to attract attention.

However, it was too late. Yone swiftly sliced ​​up these guys who were mainly focused on control and harassment.

The next target is the more agile ninja among this group.

As a fellow Japanese, Yongen knew all too well how to deal with these guys.

With a quick movement, he dodged the incoming blade.

One against all! He accurately located the ninjas hidden in the shadows of the crowd.

Ho ho!

The ninja clutched his throat helplessly, and blood gushed out.

He looked bewildered. How did this woman know so much about their team composition?

For so long, these wandering immortals hadn't even noticed his presence.

But as soon as this woman arrived, she prioritized eliminating the Onmyoji and others responsible for controlling the situation, then she targeted him, who was responsible for covering up and creating chaos... So the next one is...

He collapsed to the ground, and the last thing he saw was...

It was the figure of Yone, who was surrounded by herbalists, who was pierced by a sword and lifted high, and then beheaded with a second sword.

'Demon... demon...'

In the blink of an eye, the leader of this group of strange Japanese people hadn't even had a chance to say a word.

Yone could only roam freely among his elite team, and the key team members were found and killed one by one.

His teammates were completely helpless, and could only turn red instantly, roaring and howling in impotent rage.

What he was constantly thinking about was no longer how to complete the mission, but how to preserve his strength and leave this place as soon as possible.

But he soon stopped worrying, because the substitute puppet that had blocked several sword beams was heading straight for him from the air.

"Stop him! Stop him now!"

The leader was so panicked that he didn't care about anything else!

'Damn it! What on earth is going on?! Where did these monsters come from?!'

"All of you, get him! Don't let him get near me! You bunch of swine!"

His guards stood silently in front of the leader.

Two samurai even leaped directly at the falling puppet, attempting to knock it away from mid-air.
