n the future, but it all depends on the level of human evolution."Sister Lianyi, what are you looking at"Son Wanting couldn't sleep and came to the rooftop for some fresh air. She saw Wu Lianyi starin...A Green-grade puppet's toxicity and destructive power are ten times that of a White-grade puppet, and its defenses are also ten times stronger. So her kick just now, which sent the opponent flying, didn't actually harm them at all.
Among all enemies, Ripple hates puppets the most. These inhuman creatures are venomous from head to toe; just a scratch could cause poisoning. Even if you're careful enough to avoid being hurt, prolonged combat will still harm you from the corpse gas they exude during the fight.
After putting some distance between herself and the green-ranked puppet, Lian Yi decisively drew out her Lei Yao sword. Lei was the bane of all evil spirits, including zombies, so Lian Yi opted for a swift and decisive battle. She estimated that the necromancer, Xie Tian Shi, had likely discovered her and sent this green-ranked puppet to hold her off.
The cultivator's cultivation in the Qi Refining period was still a bit weak. Lian Ri injected spiritual energy into the Lei Yao Sword and swiftly swung it towards the opponent.
The ripple's strike was incredibly swift. The opponent's ghastly claws failed to grasp the Lei Yao sword and instead were sliced off, taking away their arm and half a shoulder.
The place where it had been struck was still flashing with purple lightning, sealing the green blood that was scattering from the opponent.
The green puppet acted as if it felt nothing, continuing its attack. Even though it had lost an arm, its attack intensity didn't decrease at all.
Ripple's footsteps never ceased, with a spin in mid-air she arrived behind the puppet. The opponent reacted quickly too, turning around on the spot and with a swift motion of one hand aimed for Ripple's neck.
The ripples met the attack head-on, directly crouching down to dodge the opponent's emerald-green claws. Then, it swung its sword and severed the opponent's legs, leaving them unable to move.
The green blood left on the broken leg immediately corroded the ground, emitting a plume of green smoke. The smell was also unusually foul. Lian Ri knew this was the poison that came with the Green Rank Puppet's body. Even her current body would be poisoned if she inhaled it for too long.
So she decisively threw out a Purple Lightning Talisman, sealing the Green Zombie into four pieces. Then, she hurled a handful of Fire Talismans, directly burning the limbs that were leaking poison.
The green puppet still stubbornly reached towards where the ripples were with one hand, panting heavily and revealing a mouth filled with green liquid, as if it wanted to chew her up.
Ripple decisively flung the sword from her hand, piercing her opponent's head and utterly stripping them of their fighting ability. In the end, they perished in the inferno.
She quickly recited the incantation, pulling out the soul trapped within the puppet. It was a Burmese soldier. He looked around in a daze, didn't thank Ripple at all, and simply drifted away following her directions.
Having dealt with the Green-level puppet, the flames here also attracted Burmese patrol soldiers. Ripple didn't linger, turning around and quickly running in the direction they had previously determined.
The ripples ran very fast. About thirty minutes later, she arrived in front of a lake. Because it was night, the still lake water was especially prominent. The surrounding trees and rocks seemed to have been artificially landscaped, giving it a very artistic feel.
The ripples circled the lake, but found nothing unusual. Ripples raised an eyebrow; she was certain the compass hadn't pointed in the wrong direction, so then the lake before her was all that remained.
She immediately transformed into a silk thread and plunged into the lake. Ten meters down, she encountered a barrier, clearly the work of the Celestial Master. And because of her probing, it seemed that the people inside had already noticed and activated their defenses.
Liàn Yī didn't want her divine consciousness to be damaged, so she quickly retracted her thread of divine consciousness and glared at the lake surface with a cold snort.
"You're good at hiding, actually burrowing a hole all the way to the bottom of the lake! You think that's going to stop me"
The ripples quickly raced across the lake, and at every interval, she buried a jade talisman. She buried a total of twenty jade talismans, then swiftly chanted incantations, activating them with her spiritual energy to form a Purple Thunder Execution Array. Then, she threw her Leiyao sword into the air, making it the center of the array, and drew lightning into the lake, vowing to strike down the enemy.
The entire lake was enveloped by purple lightning, looking dazzling from afar. The Thunderlight Sword hovering above the lake surface was drawing down heavenly thunder into its formation.
The originally star-filled night sky was now pitch black, as if it were about to collapse. Thunder and lightning crackled through the air, frightening the small animals around so much that they wished they could dig a hole and hide.
The person dwelling at the bottom of the lake was now full of terror. Upon sensing someone probing the depths, he immediately activated his defenses.
If the other party dared to jump into the lake to find him, he would release all his puppets. The lake bottom was his domain, and the puppets didn't need to breathe, while humans did. He could drag them to death. It was a good plan, but the other party didn't act according to his expectations.
The pure purple lightning shattered his defenses. He couldn't bother with the puppets anymore, he could only desperately paddle upstream. His lair was already flooded, and he needed to breathe. After his defense was broken, he wouldn't last long, but every stroke sent a powerful surge of lightning through him. He lost consciousness after just a few strokes.
Ripples was enraged and would not let this evil Celestial Master go. So, she ran the entire Zi Lei Zhu Xie Grand Formation for half an hour until the jade talisman's power was depleted. Only then did she beckon back her Lightning Sword.
The purple lightning dissipated, and over thirty puppets floated on the lake surface. Among them was that evil celestial master. At a glance, it was obvious that this person had been entrenched here for more than just a day or two.
Ripple had never had a good impression of evil cultivators, let alone one as sinister as this. She directly threw down a fire talisman, burning everything to ashes and concealing the entire lake, so that no one could find it for a while, unless it was a companion of this evil celestial master.
Ripple always thought this wasn't something one person could accomplish, so she left a way out. If her companions came looking for her, she would know immediately.
After finishing what she needed to do, she turned and disappeared into the darkness, stealthily returning to her base.
As the weary ripples returned, the patrolling warriors welcomed her back. Ripples didn't say much and went straight back to meditate and recover after returning. She was quite exhausted from all the commotion that night.
The next day, Lianyi met with Master Meng and reported her findings. Then she said that her mission was complete and she was going back to the mountain gate.
"Master Wu, could you please stay for a few more days Some of the missing soldiers haven't been found yet."
Master Meng spoke directly.
"Master Meng, they won't be coming back. Please trust my professional judgment."
Ripple didn't want to give a vague answer, so she gave a clear response.
A trace of sadness flashed across Master Meng's face, and he no longer tried to keep Ripples.
However, before leaving, she set up a defense array around the base, providing these soldiers with an extra layer of protection.
When the ripples had finished their task and returned to Longhu Mountain, Mu Xinyan was also about to prepare for university. He didn't bring Hong Ji with him, but instead went alone to see his master.pples continue to be confused."You are only there to assist them in completing their mission. The conflict you created drew everyone's attention, allowing them to successfully assassinate our two offi...
