Chapter 421 - 418: 90% Strength
"I merely stated the facts, and you already want to kill me, which shows how murderous you are. No wonder you committed such outrageous acts. Go ahead and attack!"
Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm, seemingly oblivious to the murderous intent radiating from Gui Qingluo. He flipped his hand and flicked the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword, decorating it with sword light that flowed slowly in a golden hue along the blue blade, moving from the hilt to the tip.
"Rest assured, killing is not permitted during the grand assembly. I’ll just use some techniques to turn you into a half-dead puppet. That way, you’ll never be able to utter those words again," Gui Qingluo said with a chilling smile at the corner of his mouth, hinting at cruelty.
"We’ll see if you have the capability."
Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm. Though the Puppetry Technique was tricky, it was not unfathomable. In his past life, he had battled expert puppeteers of the Martial God Level, which were incomparable to the technique Gui Qingluo used.
"You’ll find out soon if I have the capability."
Gui Qingluo’s smile remained eerie. As soon as he finished speaking, his fingers moved as if playing a musical instrument, manipulating nearly invisible thin threads at his fingertips. Simultaneously, the originally rigid puppet slowly opened its blank eyes and began to move.
Whoosh!
The instant the puppet was activated, Ye Xuan swiftly flicked his wrist and struck with his sword, swiftly and sharply slashing towards Gui Qingluo’s face.
Bang!
The sword light did not hit Gui Qingluo’s body; instead, the puppet swiftly blocked it, holding a hook-and-sickle with a chilling glow that seemed like a visitation from the Grim Reaper.
