Chapter 1138 - 1135: Blood Puppets
"Kid, you're asking for death yourself." The guy saw Lin Chuan running away, shouted loudly, and three shadows followed closely behind, launching an attack at Lin Chuan.
Even though Lin Chuan moved fast, these three guys were not slow either. The sound of air-breaking came from behind, and Lin Chuan quickly dodged, causing the blast to slam into the cliff.
Boom...
The blast hit the cliff, making a deafening sound, causing the cliff to shake, and dust to fly in the air.
Two Little Snakes coiled around Lin Chuan's shoulders, hissing, and sprang towards the three guys behind like lightning.
This was halfway up the cliff, and the two Little Snakes moved swiftly, reaching the three guys in the blink of an eye.
The guy who looked like a normal person paused, grabbed a plant growing on the cliff with his right hand, and struck out at the two Little Snakes with his left hand.
The palm strike carried a fierce wind-breaking sound, the two Little Snakes dared not be careless, their bodies flashed, flying towards the other two guys, one left and one right.
Seeing the two little beings attacking the intruders, Lin Chuan turned his body and charged towards the guy who looked normal in midspace.
The guy who looked normal saw Lin Chuan turning around to charge at him, tapped the ground with his toe, raised his palms, and also rushed towards Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan elevated the Heavenly Heart Skill to ten levels, focusing all into his palms, facing the guy's palms head-on.
Boom...
The four palms collided in mid-space, the energy dispersed, causing the surrounding space to appear somewhat distorted.
Lin Chuan received the guy's two palms, his body was immediately shaken backward, and began to plummet rapidly. The guy didn't fare much better, although he received Lin Chuan's two palms, he didn't expect Lin Chuan's power to be so strong, his whole body was shaken back two meters, also rapidly falling down.
The two Little Snakes separately launched attacks on the other two guys, those two were pale-faced, with vacant eyes and moderate responses.
Xiao Ling shot in front of one guy, twisted his body, and aimed to bite the neck. The guy raised his right hand, attempting to catch Xiao Ling's body.
Xiao Ling, being a spiritual animal, wouldn't let himself be caught, his tiny body flashed, then fiercely bit the guy's right arm.
The little creature was not an ordinary snake, his venom could be lethal within moments. Having bitten the guy's arm, Xiao Ling flashed and swiftly retreated.
Thinking the guy wouldn't survive, Xiao Ling saw the guy bitten by him, seemed unharmed, emitted a bizarre sound, moved, and reached for Xiao Ling with his right hand.
The situation with Xiao Hei wasn't optimistic either, the guy continuously bitten twice by Xiao Hei seemed unharmed and could still launch attacks.
The two Little Snakes' attack method was biting, seeing it ineffective, they both hissed and shot towards Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan at this time along with the guy who looked normal already fell to the ground, they were about five or six meters apart, staring at each other.
Two Little Snakes, Xiao Ling and Xiao Hei, shot over and landed on Lin Chuan's shoulders, while the other two guys also reached the ground, charging towards Lin Chuan.
The guy who looked normal emitted a bizarre screech, causing the two to stop immediately.
"Kid, you better hand over the Red Fruit wisely." The guy who looked normal said viciously glaring at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan sneered and said, "Who are you, why should I hand over the Red Fruit to you?"
The guy who looked normal sneered as well, "Kid, do you know I'm one of the four protectors of Maoshan Tao, Qin Hu? Offend Maoshan Tao and you'll have no good outcome, you better hand it over fast, I can let bygones be bygones."
Maoshan Tao, unexpectedly this guy turned out to be from Maoshan Tao, Lin Chuan coldly laughed, glancing at the two slightly vacant-eyed guys behind Qin Hu and said, "I bet these two are your crafted puppets, right?"
Qin Hu's face changed, smiling darkly, "Kid, didn't expect you have some insight, yes, these two are Blood Puppets."
Blood Puppets, Lin Chuan was mildly startled, that mysterious masked woman said Blood Puppets were far stronger than mere puppets, and indeed they live up to their reputation, likely stronger than Feng Lingshan.
Perched on Lin Chuan's shoulders, Xiao Ling and Xiao Hei glared with four round little eyes, hissed twice at the two Blood Puppets.
Lin Chuan stared at the two Blood Puppets, said to Qin Hu, "Aren't you afraid of retribution using the dead to craft these harmful things?"
Qin Hu laughed heartily, said, "Kid, spare me talk of retribution, hand it over fast, or today will be your last."
Lin Chuan howled at the sky, said, "The thing is on me, if you have guts, come and get it."
Qin Hu's eyes flashed with deep viciousness, said, "Kid, you're asking for death yourself."
After speaking, he emitted another bizarre screech.
As soon as the sound dropped, the two Blood Puppets behind him lunged at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan moved his body, infused ten levels of energy into his palms, wildly swept at the two Blood Puppets. The ten levels of energy between his palms struck the two Blood Puppets, after a muffled sound, their bodies were directly blown away, soared five meters away, crashed into the cliff.
Qin Hu seemed unconcerned about the two blood puppets, just coldly staring at Lin Chuan. The two blood puppets were knocked against the cliff, collapsed with a bang, yet unexpectedly sprang up again, and dove towards Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan knew the puppets were indestructible, and if that mysterious masked woman could appear, maybe her talismans could subdue these two creatures.
Lin Chuan did not want to be struck by these two blood puppets, so he had to raise his palms again and furiously sweep at the approaching blood puppets.
The two blood puppets were blasted away once more, but quickly stood up again and charged at Lin Chuan.
Damn it, Lin Chuan cursed inwardly. It seemed like this guy wanted to tire me out with this method, I need to find a way to eliminate these indestructible blood puppets.
But the two blood puppets didn't give him time to think, repeatedly being struck away yet repeatedly pouncing back.
Capture the leader to capture the thieves; Qin Hu is the master of these two blood puppets, and if he is subdued, these creatures naturally will stop moving.
With this thought, after knocking away the two blood puppets, Lin Chuan spun, and shouted at the two Little Snakes, "Xiao Ling, Xiao Hei, take down Qin Hu first."
Xiao Ling and Xiao Hei shot off from Lin Chuan's shoulders, streaking toward Qin Hu.
Qin Hu sneered, leaping into the air, and spread his palms, shouting, "You two think you can hurt me? Wishful thinking."
Qin Hu's speed was not weak either, transforming his palms into claws, reaching for Xiao Ling and Xiao Hei's bodies.
The two Little Snakes were clever, knowing that being caught by Qin Hu was no laughing matter, their agile bodies twisting in mid-air to dodge.
Qin Hu was preoccupied with dealing with the two Little Snakes, but didn't expect Lin Chuan.
After knocking away the two blood puppets, Lin Chuan suddenly turned, concentrating ten percent of his energy between his palms, and furiously swept at Qin Hu in mid-air.
Qin Hu, in mid-air, couldn't dodge in time, forcing him to take Lin Chuan's two palms head-on.
Boom...
Qin Hu's body was struck by Lin Chuan, like a kite with a broken string, plummeting straight backward.
The two blood puppets saw Qin Hu injured, and disregarding Lin Chuan, rushed toward Qin Hu, one leaping to catch him.
Qin Hu's face turned pale, suddenly spewing fresh blood, clearly Lin Chuan's two palms wounded him not lightly.
Lin Chuan couldn't miss this opportunity; it was the perfect chance to eliminate Qin Hu.
"Xiao Ling, Xiao Hei, quickly follow me to take down Qin Hu," Lin Chuan shouted at the two Little Snakes, his body swiftly leaping, diving toward the two blood puppets and Qin Hu.
The two Little Snakes followed Lin Chuan, darting towards him.
Although the blood puppets were refined from dead humans, they were much higher in level than regular puppets and had a protective instinct for their master, with the puppet not holding Qin Hu attacking Lin Chuan.
"Damn!" Lin Chuan cursed, gathering his palms together, fiercely striking at the oncoming blood puppet.
The blood puppet was struck by Lin Chuan, flying up with a bang, knocked back seven or eight meters, landing with a thud on the ground.
Lin Chuan didn't pause for a moment, his palms striking again, sweeping at Qin Hu and the other blood puppet.
At this critical moment, a figure flashed in the sky at an astonishing speed, arriving within seven or eight meters before Lin Chuan, shouting, "Youngster, you dare to bully my Maoshan Tao."
The energy between Lin Chuan's palms had already been released, and the figure that flashed in also spread his palms, receiving Lin Chuan's two palms.
Lin Chuan felt a backlash of power, his body pausing, then flying backward.
Damn, this person's strength is quite ahead of mine. As Lin Chuan's body descended, he was startled.
When Lin Chuan reached the ground, he stabilized himself, looking up to see that the newcomer was an elderly man about the size of Feng Lingshan, his eyes radiating sharply, staring coldly at Lin Chuan.
"Second uncle, the Red Fruit was taken by that kid," Qin Hu, blood still trickling from his mouth, said pale-faced, looking at the old man.
The old man grunted, looked at Lin Chuan and said, "Boy, where did you learn your Heavenly Heart Skill Sealing Heart Skill?"
Lin Chuan replied fearlessly, "That's none of your business."
The old man suddenly chuckled twice, and said, "Boy, no one has ever dared to speak to me like this. You best answer my question honestly, or I'll make you taste the sensation of not wanting to live."
Lin Chuan laughed loudly, "Then go ahead, I want to see how you make me not want to live."
This old man was none other than the second in command of the Maoshan Tao sect, Qin Zhengnan.
