The Strongest Devouring Upgrade

Chapter 18: Chen Family Puppetry



Seeing that the fruit vendor was killed, Lu Pingan hurriedly pretended to be what an ordinary person should be, and screamed and ran away.

He is not a moral saint, let alone the reason why the hawker was killed. At this time, it is better not to be nosy.

The only thing he couldn't figure out was that the surrounding area was very empty, but until the fruit vendor's body fell to the ground and even the blood ran out, he still didn't see the attacker.

If the opponent is a few miles away, then the strength of this person is simply unfathomable, and Lu Ping'an naturally has no reason to stay here.

Thump thump...

At this moment, Lu Ping'an suddenly heard a sound similar to the sound made by the tension of the strings behind him, and felt strange. He looked back and was startled again in a cold sweat.

I saw the corpse of the fruit vendor, supporting the ground with both hands, and got up from the ground flexibly!

This scene was so horrifying, Lu Ping'an's brain went blank for an instant, and he stood stupidly on the spot. At this time, it was not dark yet, so it shouldn't be haunted!

"Huh? No! This seems to be..."

Lu Pingan had a calm mind since he was a little girl. After a brief panic, he forced himself to calm down and carefully looked at the limbs of the hawker's body.

Sure enough, it is impossible for an ordinary person's corpse to move on its own for no reason. Lu Pingan vaguely saw that the hawker's limbs were connected to a hair-like thread, reflecting the metallic luster in the sunlight.

Puppetry, and also the most insidious and eerie living puppet!

"Come out! What kind of hero is hiding in the dark?"

Lu Ping'an looked around, shouted loudly, and at the same time opened up his fierce battle Jingjia defense in advance, as if he was facing an enemy.

To the Lu family, puppetry is no stranger, because their biggest rival in Wanqiu City, the Chen family, is a family of cultivators who are proficient in puppetry.

And the people who can use the living corpse puppets are probably only from the Chen family in the territory of Wanqiu City.

Unlike the low-level magical items such as the "Nine Dragon Golden Crow", the puppet technique is not only complicated in content, but also expensive to create a personal puppet, so only the descendants of the Chen family are eligible to practice.

Obviously, Lu Pingan was too happy before. Instead of avoiding the eyes and ears of the Chen family killer, he encountered a more powerful opponent.

"Lu Pingan, you and I know well, why bother to say such nonsense? The biggest advantage of puppetry is that you don't need the puppet master to fight in person. Since I have the advantage of people in the dark, why should I expose my position?"

The killer hiding in the dark transmits the sound through the puppet line, and his tone changes. Even if an acquaintance is present, he cannot be identified.

"Okay, then I will destroy your living puppet first!"

Lu Pingan pursed his mouth and sneered. As soon as his words fell, the Xuanjie Feijian appeared in his hands, and at the same time, he ran quickly with the mule cart as the center.

"Stop!"

At the same time Lu Ping'an started, the living puppets made from hawker corpses also moved. Amazingly, although it was a temporary puppet, its speed was not lost to Lu Ping'an.

After a few breaths, the living corpse puppet rushed to Lu Ping'an and hit his heart with a punch.

After all, the puppet hawkers are ordinary people, and their physical strength is far less than that of cultivators. Lu Ping'an unhurriedly adjusts the aura of the group, attaching it to the surface of the mad war thorns, and chooses to use his flesh to resist.

Cack! The sound of broken muscles and bones came. Under the dual defenses displayed by Lu Pingan, the attack of the living corpse puppet had no effect. The entire arm bones were shattered, leaving only the flesh and the flesh.

"Ah…"

Lu Ping'an was puzzled by the weakness of the living corpse puppet in front of him. Who knew at this moment, a snicker suddenly came through the puppet line.

Immediately afterwards, the body of the living corpse puppet began to swell rapidly like a sugar blower.

"broken!"

Perceiving a magic spell in the living corpse puppet's body, Lu Ping's heart alarm bells loudly, he raised his arm to cover his head and face, and at the same time flew a foot on the living corpse puppet's lower abdomen, and jumped back.

boom!

The lightning explosion scroll hidden in the living corpse puppet was activated, and the huge impact instantly blasted the puppet's body into pieces of meat. Lu Ping'an was also lifted by the air wave, falling like a kite with a broken line more than ten feet away, life and death unknown.

"Hahahaha! What about the bloodline of the Xuan Tier high-grade? It's not dead in my hands."

The line that had previously connected the puppet manipulating the body of the hawker slowly shortened and recovered, and finally disappeared among the pile of fruits on the mule cart. With a burst of triumphant laughter, a man hiding inside crawled out.

The assassin who attacked Lu Pingan was no one else, but the eldest son of the current head of the Chen family. Chen Hao, the favorite to win the Wanqiu competition this time!

In fact, as early as when Lu Pingan walked out of the gate of the Lu Mansion, his whereabouts had already been grasped by the Chen family.

As the descendants of the Cangwu country border sentry leader, simple disguise can not avoid their ears.

The failure of yesterday's assassination made Chen Hao even more jealous of Lu Ping An, so he decided to do it himself this time.

With Chen Hao's skill, it was easy to hide in the mule cart when the fruit vendor was not paying attention.

"Chen Hao, did you buy a fake magic scroll? Is that powerful?"

Chen Hao was immersed in the joy of eliminating hidden dangers. He didn't want to see that Lu Ping, who was supposed to be killed by the bombing, stood up again. Although there were many wounds on his body, it was not fatal.

"What! You...what exactly did you use?" Chen Hao could hardly believe his eyes.

Hidden in the thunder explosion scroll in the fruit vendor's corpse, he sealed the thunder attribute spell that was fully displayed by a cultivator in the real martial realm, and it was impossible for a cultivator in the martial realm to resist.

Because of this, Chen Hao deliberately waited until Lu Ping'an ran away, and then manipulated the living corpse puppet to carry out a suicide attack, so as not to affect himself.

"Hehe, instead of tangling this issue, you should first care about yourself."

The corner of Lu Ping's mouth raised, and he opened his hands towards Chen Hao, and he saw that the mysterious flying sword had disappeared for some unknown time.

As his voice fell, Jianming suddenly rose above Chen Hao's head!

The flying sword wrapped a full ten feet of sword energy and fell straight down.

It turned out that before Lu Pingan started running around the mule cart, he had already thrown the flying sword in his hand into the air.

Chen Hao had a narrow field of vision and was attracted by the fast-moving Lu Ping'an. He didn't notice the flying sword shooting at the mule cart in a parabolic trajectory.

In the end, when Chen Hao later realized Lu Ping's secret move, the mule cart under his feet was cut into two pieces by Jian Qi.

If it weren't for him to crawl out of the hidden fruit pile just now under his pride, he would probably have been cut in his waist.

Chen Hao stood there blankly, his back soaked with cold sweat.

He never expected that he, who had been cultivated as high as the 9th layer of the martial art realm, would almost die in the hands of the 6th layer of the martial art realm, Lu Ping'an.

This is a shame for Chen Hao, who has been dubbed a genius since he was a child and has never failed in the competition of his peers!
