Chapter 55: The Conspiracy Begins
"What did you say?" the other man in black half-turned his head, his eyes swelling with consternation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He has been on a mission with this companion for a long time, and his strength is very clear. Once you fall into his illusion, you are caught off guard, and even you may not be able to get out easily, but now it has only been a long time, and it has been cracked by that kid casually?
When Ye Shuo was trapped in the illusion, although it was a long time, the speed of time in this illusion was similar to that of a dream, and for those who experienced it, he may feel that a dream lasted all night, and the dream contained many fragments of scattered memories, but in fact, this process of "dreaming" was very short.
The scene in front of him was similar, after the black-clothed illusionist used an illusion to trap Ye Shuo, another black-clothed man immediately pinched his hands and released about a dozen canine-shaped puppets, tentatively attacking Chu Tianyao.
At first, the purpose was just to temporarily drag him down and wait for his companions to succeed, but soon, he completely restrained the mentality of underestimating the enemy, and even the trick of pressing the bottom of the box was forced to take out, controlling 6 puppets to form a formation, and the attack and defense were coordinated to a certain extent.
Starting from the outermost puppet, a beam of light shoots out of its mouth, connecting end-to-end with the beam of an adjacent puppet in mid-air, and finally forming a six-pointed light shield suspended in mid-air, and the current rushing on the shield surface surges, and from time to time a thunderbolt descends. The puppets guarding the periphery also opened their palms from time to time, and their five fingers were stretched outward, revealing a dark hole in the palm of their palms, and a small turret was pushed out of it. Small shells dragged smoke into the formation.
Although this pervasive formation did temporarily trap Chu Tianyao's actions, this momentum did not last long. This is also an absolute level difference, even if this formation is formed by several powerhouses of the same level, they may not be able to be absolutely sure of Chu Tianyao, let alone just a few puppets with no spiritual intelligence?
Soon found a pattern for Chu Tianyao, pointing to the east and fighting the west in the battle formation, and the guide to the north, and he was comfortable with his actions. The soles of his feet stepped on the footwork of the Taixu Wandering Dragon, and the thunderbolt sparks flowing in all directions couldn't even catch up with his shadow.
After a few rounds, the black-clothed puppeteer was already in danger, and the situation was not optimistic, so he waited for his companion to free his hand as soon as possible, and the two of them worked together to hope to get out of the siege.
But now that his companion has lost so quickly, it is even worse for this already unfavorable situation.
"Good opportunity!" Taking advantage of the gap when the man turned his head to look at his companion's situation, Chu Tianyao put his fingers together, and his fingertips violently shot out a beam of spiritual power, shattering an oncoming puppet on the spot.
This puppet is in this formation, it can be regarded as the existence of the "array eye", and once the formation eye is defeated, the formation will naturally be self-defeating! With the slight movement of Chu Tianyao's palm, the spiritual power beam that was originally straight through turned around, and the remaining momentum was inexhaustible, like a spiritual power whip, dancing out of a half-moon circle, blasting the puppets that had not yet retreated on all sides.
"Damn...... Damn!" The black-clad puppeteer's eyes burned red. Every special professional, because he always makes a living from "creation", has deep feelings for the products he has poured his heart and soul into, just like the alchemist for the medicinal liquid he painstakingly refined, and the formation mage for his painstakingly deduced formation.
And this man in black is a puppeteer, to collect enough materials to refine puppets and make them play their own effects, sometimes it is not enough to rely on strength alone, but also a kind of luck. The two people in front of him are not life and death enemies, but on the way to perform an ordinary mission, they actually destroyed a large number of puppets that he had carefully crafted, and this loss has made his heart hurt so much that he is about to vomit blood.
But he is not a brave and unscrupulous person, although he is not shocked, his body hurriedly retreats. It's just that although the decision he made was wise, his movements were a little too slow, because Chu Tianyao obviously didn't intend to give him time to breathe at all, and with a wave of his hand, the spiritual power beam swept towards him again.
The black-clothed puppeteer was too quick to resist, so he had to retreat all the way back. Seeing that he had been forced to the wall, there was no way to retreat, and suddenly with a "snap", a storage ring in his shirt burst automatically.
A black shadow also fell with the scattered fragments, blending into the shadows of the ground, and you can see the shadow bending and stretching strangely, although there is no wind, the shadow of the road is swaying on its own, a black light rushes suddenly, like a long snake swimming on the road, and the next moment has emerged from mid-air, it is another person dressed in black.
With a wave of his hand, the spiritual power beam that hit his eyes was scattered, and then the momentum of rushing forward did not stop, and he rushed towards Chu Tianyao head-on.
The weapon in his hand was only faintly visible in the sunlight, and it was actually a very thin and thin sword, like a transparent filament.
Chu Tianyao raised his hand and snapped his fingers in the air, the Prison Sealing Sword came out of its sheath on its own, he held the Prison Sealing Sword, and collided with the filament-like long sword for the first time, only to feel that it was really as tough as cotton, and there was a feeling of nowhere to focus.
Before he could think of a countermeasure, the man in black missed the blow and didn't say much, but retreated on the spot. The figure quietly blended into the shadows of the ground as it first appeared, wandering all the way, and in an instant it reappeared and had climbed the wall.
"Leave me behind!Shadow Thousand Slashes!" Chu Tianyao couldn't allow the enemy to escape in front of his eyes, and almost without thinking about it, a dark purple electric current formed in the palm of his hand and swept towards the heel of the man in black.
Although his attack was fast, the man in black was faster than him, and his body had already melted into the shadow cast by the canopy against the wall, and disappeared without a trace. Purple electricity followed, slamming into the wall, bursting into a series of dark purple sparks that slowly dissipated.
The sudden appearance of the third man in black did not bring any turn to the battle situation, only the black-clothed puppeteer took advantage of Chu Tianyao's distraction and hurriedly turned around and ran away towards the street corner.
"The secret method of radish, stumbling horses!" With a laughable shout, the green-headed white radish in Ye Shuo's hand suddenly stretched out, accurately hooking the black-clothed puppeteer's ankle.
With a "plop", the black-clothed puppeteer fell on his stomach in embarrassment.
"Bastard, you just ran away like this, aren't you afraid that you will be punished by Mr. Crane when you go back!" The black-clothed illusionist saw that his companion had no righteous anger at all, and he was about to abandon himself on the spot to escape, so he was so anxious that he scolded.
Mr. Crane's management has always been strict, and these people are like a group of thugs raised by the black market, who may not be rewarded for their merits, and they must be severely punished if they do so. The black-clothed puppeteer also knew that his companion was not lying, and if he really turned around and ran away like this, even if he could really escape back to the headquarters, the outcome that awaited him would never be better than dying here. As for his crime, it is not that he abandoned his friends and ran away, but that he failed in his mission.
The black market has never been a place to be justified.
They have been taught since childhood that as long as they can complete the task, it doesn't matter if they trade the lives of their peers. But on the contrary, no matter how many companions you save, if you fail in the mission, you will still be punished.
Thinking of this, he turned his head to look, and saw that the black-clothed illusionist was now cutting his hands behind his back, and a crackling rope was tied around his body. But if you look closely, you will find that it is not a rope, but a string of real thunder and lightning! Judging from the appearance, this is the effect of the Five Spirits Primary Thunder Mantra "Thunder Flash" condensed to the extreme!
"This ...... How the hell did he do it?" the black-clothed puppeteer was dumbfounded. This kind of attack is not only unseen, but also unheard of! What is even more strange is that after the thunder spell falls, since it has not defeated the enemy with a single blow, why has it not dissipated on its own, and can still appear in this solid rope-like form?
This kid isn't a weak person at all! The black-clothed puppeteer gritted his teeth in hatred for a moment.
Recalling that when he was assigned the task, Mr. Crane said nonchalantly that the goal of this mission was just a kid who had been charging for a while, and he didn't know what luck he had hit, and he got an ancient mental scroll. It is said that he holds an energy weapon in his hand and has outstanding soul power. It doesn't matter if this person lives or dies, if there are other remnants of the scroll on him, just grab them together.
Although this "energy weapon" caused everyone to whisper for a while, no matter how sophisticated the external equipment is, the gas storage section is the gas storage section, this kind of little cub who has just stepped into the threshold of spiritual cultivation, no matter how strong it is, how strong can it be?
And the reward for this mission is still very rich, and it is said that it is because the client was a ready-made wrongdoer, and was slaughtered by Mr. Crane. At that time, the two of them felt that this task was a pie falling from the sky, although there were many competitors competing for this task, but they couldn't resist the two people's opinions, boasting their abilities to the sky, and saying that their special profession just restrained that kid, which made Mr. Crane nod and agree.
I had known that this expected task would be nine deaths and one life in real practice, and the two of them would never have committed this mess at all! Now I think back to myself jumping and shouting loudly at that time, and I can't wait to directly take a rag and plug my mouth at that time!
But no matter how much you regret it, it's too late. The black-clothed puppeteer cursed in his stomach, and almost roared and injected a message into the jade slip: "Mission failed! Please send support quickly!" Then he could only bite the bullet, the lead in his hand exploded, and he released the puppet to attack Ye Shuo again.
"Wind!" Ye Shuo's left arm swirled into a whirlwind of wind, and between a few punch attacks, the wind pillar was like an invisible wind drill, directly penetrating the puppet, and the scattered parts were wrapped into the wind pillar, and it was shattered into a piece of waste in a few moments.
"Earth!" As for the few puppets that were lucky enough to avoid the wind curse, Ye Shuo made a move with his right hand, and a small earth mountain ten feet square fell from the sky, smashing the puppets into the cracks in the ground.
He's literally an active humanoid element! This kind of combat was the first time he had seen it, but it also gave him some inspiration for the black-clad puppeteer. If he can get out of here alive, he may have a chance to go further on his cultivation path in the future. Of course, on the premise that he has a chance to get out of here alive.
After the puppet was almost completely damaged, the black-clothed puppeteer's handprint changed, and the lead formed a net of heaven and earth, and his head was covered by Ye Shuo.
"Fire!" Ye Shuo formed a fire dragon between his right arm, bombarding the silk net at will. The wind dragon in the right arm also coiled up at the same time, and the wind helped the fire, burning more and more, and soon the wire net burned into a fire net, and the fire did not stop, and then rushed towards the black-clothed puppet master along the lead road.
"I'll go!!" Although the man in black struggled, the lead was condensed by spiritual power, and it could be said that it was connected to his soul, and how could it be easily shaken off? After a while, the fire dragon roared and pounced in front of him, opening its mouth to swallow him directly. The man's figure was shrouded in a ball of fire, and he struggled desperately, but his roar gradually faded.
"Water!" Ye Shuo waved his hand in time, and a water dragon replaced the wind dragon and pounced on the black-clothed puppeteer, quickly extinguishing the flames. At the same time, the water dragon also turned into a chain again, firmly binding the man in black.
"Alright, now it's up to me to ask you two. Who sent you against me, and for what purpose?"
