Chapter 348: Zuo Cikui's Three Puppets
In Zuo Cikui's cognition!
He had no danger, the only thing he couldn't bear was being played around by Li Yu.
So when he discovered that this disaster wanted to "jump off the train and escape," he used his last bit of power, temporarily added some narrative, and turned the carriage where Li Yu was into a closed battlefield.
The time limit was only half an hour.
After that, Li Yu would be free again and could leave without cost, without being blocked by the Pioneer.
This is the underlying narrative, coming from Zuo Cikui's indulgence at the beginning.
Conversely, other passengers, even those with big backgrounds like Joseph and Yellow Seal, couldn't leave the train privately unless they died.
And what Zuo Cikui didn't know is!
If he really wanted to escape, Li Yu could completely leave directly.
With his current means, he had the ability to survive in the Spirit Realm, and could even call the Sinful Buddha Child to be his bodyguard; at worst, Li Yu could call the Demon Star Order and hide in the Mystic Domain.
Li Yu didn't escape; his purpose was only one.
Zuo Cikui!
In his Li Yu's place, the hunter and the prey are not immutable.
Zuo Cikui wanted to refine himself into the top-tier puppet character, help cultivation, and be promoted to Play God.
Li Yu also had a similar idea; he wanted to hang the other party on his own fishing hook, let him be slaughtered, and could also use him to fish for the City Lord's Mansion, and even the power of the Master of the Veil, which was simply the best bait.
The two were not from the same master.
But it was about the same; after all, the Spirit Venerable and the Master of the Veil could be said to be of the same style in terms of conduct.
Of course, some were unexpected, in terms of reputation, the Spirit Venerable was even more wicked.
This also meant that Li Yu, this junior successor who had been greatly praised by the Spirit Venerable's divine sense, acted even more shamelessly.
A normal person seeing Zuo Cikui go through the back door and break into his carriage forcefully.
And still talking big, should be furious and take action, or turn and escape.
Li Yu, however, had a look of unexpected joy, stepped forward and said:
"Brother Zuo, is this true?"
"As long as I am willing to follow Brother Zuo, you will use the resources of the City Lord's Mansion to help me become an affiliated god of the 【Master of Ten Thousand Changes】? Pie falling from the sky?"
"Don't be blowing big air; what ability does the City Lord's Mansion have to hide from the great Master of Ten Thousand Changes."
"If it's really possible, I, Li Yu, am not unable to follow Brother Zuo..."
Li Yu's movements had no threat, his expression was incomparably natural, and his tone was even more filled with a trace of flattery in his suspicion.
It seemed as if this person was really willing to give up some bottom lines for the sake of becoming a god.
This sounds incredible!
But if the person speaking is a Wanfu City citizen, then it is reasonable.
As everyone knows, Wanfu City is a place where geniuses emerge, and there are all kinds of people, who have never known what a bottom line is.
Zuo Cikui subconsciously wanted to answer, but immediately it turned into a furious spray.
Because Li Yu, taking advantage of this second of speaking, directly launched a sneak attack on Zuo Cikui:
His figure flickered abruptly.
When he appeared again, he was shockingly in front of Zuo Cikui.
Surging like a storm, the terrifying sword Qi spread out without any warning.
"Brother Zuo, please taste this; this is the Myriad Dharma Calamity Extinction Sword Array I stole from Liu Tu."
"The power is okay, just right to send you on your way."
These were the last two sentences Zuo Cikui heard before disappearing.
At such a close distance, even Zuo Cikui, who possessed an incomparably terrifying body, was ground into powder in an instant.
Sneak attack success?
Naturally impossible; although Li Yu's sneak attack was shameless and unexpected, the other party was the first genius who was one grade higher than him, and had been an Ancient-Modern Puppet Master for a long time.
Converted, it was equivalent to a sequence four powerhouse infinitely close to the sequence three level.
How could he be killed so easily.
Sure enough, the next moment, at the other end of the void carriage, a quite furious scolding came:
"You lowly disaster."
"Believers of Ten Thousand Changes are all the most disgusting, most shameless scum."
"I changed my mind; after I refine you into a puppet, I will arrange the most pitiful, most miserable 'life' in the world for you."
"Every pain that exists in the world, I want you to experience it once."
"I will be your master forever, and you will serve as a pathetic and lowly puppet, enduring eternal torture..."
Zuo Cikui clearly had special permission on the Pioneer, able to open the back door and teleport at will.
After paying some price, such as a "substitute puppet," he successfully resurrected.
And when Zuo Cikui spat out these words, the power of the Ancient-Modern Puppet Master also spilled out; those were incomplete yet real illusions that appeared out of thin air, scripts, or perhaps reality itself.
Naturally, it made Li Yu seem to foresee his own miserable ending in the future.
If he really fell into Zuo Cikui's hands as a "puppet," the ending would indeed be unimaginable.
Although both of their purposes were to refine the other party!
But by comparison, Li Yu felt he was much more benevolent.
"Brother Zuo has such great malice; I just want to slaughter you, but you have such disgusting thoughts."
"It really shouldn't be..."
Before the last word fell, Li Yu's figure moved out of thin air again and appeared in front of Zuo Cikui.
Only this time, his sneak attack was predicted.
The next second, what was reflected in his eyes was Zuo Cikui's grinning face.
At the same time, in front of Li Yu, and to his left and right, a figure appeared respectively.
He hadn't gone to look left and right yet, but just felt incomparably familiar.
And standing in front of Li Yu was shockingly a terrifying figure that anyone could guess the origin of in a second.
This was a warrior four meters tall.
Race unknown, human-like.
Wearing high-tech power armor, blood red and brass colors intertwined, and on the surface were clearly visible "Blood God Runes," condensed into substance, and there was intense pollution radiation constantly rising and erupting.
Under the demonic blood helmet was a pair of scarlet pupils, and the face was completely twisted in madness.
On his back, a pair of bat-like corrupted membrane wings grew.
His weapon was a chain giant axe, with blood-colored flames wrapped around the axe blade.
"Blood God Divine Chosen?"
In an instant, Li Yu recognized this person's origin and identity.
This appearance, apart from the Blood God's divine chosen kin, almost didn't exist as a second option.
And, it was that kind of divine chosen who was also at the sequence four level.
Li Yu had seen what "Red Bean" looked like fully armed, and his own maid also possessed a top-tier power armor.
But in terms of majesty and dominance, as well as the degree of threat.
Even if seven or eight Red Beans were added together, they wouldn't be as good as this one in front of him.
Although the "Long-lived Myriad Dharma Calamity Extinction Sword Array" that Li Yu released was also incomparably strong, tearing the brass armor on the other party into rags and causing some damage.
But Li Yu also immediately saw!
Not to mention heavy injury, it couldn't even be counted as a light injury.
The "Long-lived Myriad Dharma Calamity Extinction Sword Array" that Li Yu blessed and ripened many times was specifically aimed at various methods and thousands of strange energies, and its lethality could be called terrifying.
However, this one in front of him!
Seemed to be relying on physical strength to withstand Li Yu's blow?
"A divine chosen kin who has been blessed by the 【Blood God】 continuously?"
"And when refined into a puppet by Zuo Cikui, was already at the sequence four level?"
"Then what about the other two?"
Under Zuo Cikui's gaze, Li Yu felt bad all over.
He seemed to have realized something extremely terrifying.
On his face and in his eyes, fear appeared one after another.
This scene made Zuo Cikui look satisfied.
"Lowly Ten Thousand Changes disaster, you can only sneakily steal some divine abilities from other divine chosen."
"And what I steal is everything."
"
"He is the 【Blood Grind Grand General】, the champion of the previous generation's internal grand tournament in the Blood God Temple."
"He has already been blessed by the Blood God twice; at the Sequence Four realm, he has reached an invincible level."
"At the same time, he is also one of my 'treasured puppets'."
"As for the other two, I imagine you know them both."
"Don't you want to kill me?"
"First, try to survive the encirclement of these three puppets of mine. If you survive, I will give you a chance."
Zuo Cikui clearly felt victory was in his grasp and that there would be no accidents, so he thought he would put on a show.
He could have let the "Blood Grind Grand General" strike immediately to slaughter Li Yu.
Yet he deliberately let him stand still, just to make Li Yu listen to his words attentively; he was thinking of letting Li Yu feel the torture of fear in advance.
However, Li Yu took this opportunity to quickly glance left and right.
Immediately, genuine horror from the bottom of his heart appeared on his face.
They really were all acquaintances!
They were exactly the two who, like Li Yu, were ranked among the nine God-Chosen kin in the God-Chosen Pioneer Team.
The Kind Father's God-Chosen, Hu Buku!
The Hanging King's God-Chosen, Gongsun Qi!
Until this moment, Li Yu seemed to have finally realized the terror of Zuo Cikui, this "Puppet Master of Past and Present."
One must know that these two were both God-Chosen kin, beings favored by the True Gods behind them, with powerful combat strength and glorious deeds; to think they had been secretly refined into puppet characters by Zuo Cikui.
The state of the three was identical.
They looked vivid and lifelike, their expressions natural, and even their eyes remained lively, without a hint of the dullness a puppet should have.
However, they also had one thing in common: they seemed immersed in some kind of "scene," their gazes locked onto Li Yu, filled with hatred and killing intent.
"The ability of the Puppet Master of Past and Present is very strange; the puppets refined into this state, although completely controlled, do not realize they are puppets."
"They will live in the 'script' forever, unable to break free."
"In daily life, they do not need Zuo Cikui to control them; they will naturally continue to cultivate and grow, no different from ordinary people."
"If they are needed, Zuo Cikui only needs to temporarily write a new script, insert it into their minds, and use his authority to summon them over."
"Silent and soundless, leaving no traces behind."
"Of course, this is on the territory of Wanfu City."
"If it were in the outside world, to achieve such perfection would require more effort and cost."
Li Yu had also stolen a small portion of the Puppet Master of Past and Present's power, so he knew the ins and outs of it.
This did not affect him continuing to act!
Li Yu suddenly moved to the other side, opening up the distance.
At the same time, with a face full of terror, he looked at Zuo Cikui in shock and said:
"Is this the reason why the 【Main Mansion】 organized the God-Chosen Pioneer Team?"
"To use them to refine puppets?"
"You wouldn't be planning to secretly refine all of the first batch of nine God-Chosen kin, including me, into puppet characters, would you?"
"Aren't you afraid of being found out by the True Gods behind us if you do this?"
"Even if you are the God-Chosen of the Lord of the Veil, once the conspiracy is exposed, could the Lord of the Veil really handle so many powerful divine entities at once?"
Under the same realm, normally it would be one-on-one, a draw.
Now, it was one-on-three.
And strictly speaking, that Blood God's God-Chosen called "Blood Grind" had a realm and combat strength above Li Yu's.
Which meant!
In the coming battle, Li Yu would surely lose.
Let alone half an hour, he might not even last ten minutes.
This conclusion came from Zuo Cikui's mind.
He considered it extremely rigorous, even an overestimate.
So even though he could see that this fellow Li Yu was deliberately stalling for time, he still decided to answer a few questions before officially making a move.
He wanted to deliberately torture Li Yu, letting fear fill his heart and soul.
"My Lord, 【The Play God Behind the Veil】, is the most powerful True God in the Boundless Spirit Realm. Under the protection of His authority, as long as they don't descend personally to investigate, then whether it's the Blood God, the Kind Father, or the foolish Hanging King, none of them can discover my act of blasphemy."
"You guessed right, and also wrong."
"Although I have that ability, I am not that greedy; I always have to leave some for the junior brothers and sisters in the Mansion."
"I have selected three, already refined two, and only you are left."
"Let you see the process of being prepared first; it's very comfortable, without the slightest pain..."
Along with these words, the chilling process of preparation emerged.
Imagine the process of a perverted puppet master preparing a living person into a puppet while they are still fresh and conscious.
Zuo Cikui's actions were even more disgusting and horrifying.
To this, Li Yu cooperated fully with the performance.
His face was full of fear and regret, clearly annoyed at why he hadn't fled earlier.
"It seems I am doomed this time."
"Since that is the case, Brother Zuo, could you satisfy one wish of mine and answer a small question?"
"If Brother Zuo were also refined into a 'puppet character,' would the Lord of the Veil notice and despise you?"
"How bold!"
"Break every bone in his body, rot his flesh, tear his heart and soul to shreds..."
As Zuo Cikui's angry voice fell, the slaughter erupted, and three powerful figures moved against Li Yu in unison.
From this, one could see that Zuo Cikui was indeed no fool; normally, one Blood Grind Grand General could defeat Li Yu.
But he was unwilling to give Li Yu even a shred of hope; the so-called lion hunting a rabbit still uses its full strength.
The pity is that his "cognition" of Li Yu was too ridiculously wrong.
The scenes that followed began to subvert and refresh his previous thoughts.
All four were God-Chosen kin, high-sequence prodigies.
When they started fighting, they naturally turned that void into a chaotic mess of flickering rainbow light and collapsing space in an instant.
Zuo Cikui had anticipated that even three-on-one, it would not be resolved quickly.
But what he didn't expect was!
Even three-on-one, Li Yu, this God-Chosen of Myriad Changes, was not at a disadvantage at all.
At least in the short term, there was no danger to his life.
Zuo Cikui opened a pair of "Eyes of Past and Present," staring fixedly at Li Yu, not missing a single detail.
The more he watched, the more incredible he felt, and the more he couldn't help but exclaim:
"Top-tier puppet, top-tier God-Chosen."
"If given time, there is a high possibility he will ascend to godhood in the future..."
