Chapter 543: Attacker, Dead

The smoke caused by the giant puppet's attack gradually subsided as the two people whispered to each other, and Ling also saw clearly the man who was controlling the giant puppet.

The man was wearing a formal suit with a stand-up collar, holding a scepter, with a mustache on his face, and his eyes were slightly upturned. The dark blue color under his eyes... well, in layman's terms, he had a standard bad guy face.

An Lushan - I really can't find a full-body picture...

However, no matter how the opponent is dressed or looks, it has little impact on Ling and Uzumaki Yi, who have already classified them as enemies - after all, both of them were born in the Warring States Period and are the main forces active on the battlefield. Even though they are usually kind and tolerant to their family members, they are definitely not the kind of people who can swallow their anger and shrink back from fighting when attacked inexplicably.

Rather, the first reaction of the two people who had both received education from the clan leader to this kind of provocation was to chop off the other party's claws and teeth to let the other party know their own weight.

But it's obvious that neither of them is aware that they are the invaders at this moment, hmm.

After seeing the giant puppet move again, Ling Weiwei weighed the long sword in his hand and adjusted his sword-holding posture according to his current body. Without waiting for the sarcastic man opposite to speak, he took a run-up and jumped, leaped onto the giant puppet's long arm that was as long as his height, and rushed towards the person on top of the puppet.

However, the operator's reaction was not slow either. The huge puppet arm that Ling was stepping on instantly separated from the main body and fell to the ground, while the main body of the puppet flew towards the huge hole above the inside of the tower. At the same time, the palm of the other hand lit up, and violent chakra fluctuations came from it.

Ling Bi measured the distance between himself and the main body of the puppet and couldn't help but frowning slightly - it would not be difficult for him to dodge the attack at this distance, but with his current body being pushed back, he would be powerless to chase after it.

[I haven't developed the Lightning Release Enhancement Technique yet, so I need some time to prepare if I want to use it - should I use Susanoo? Alas, it's a bit of an overkill to deal with this kind of thing...]

Although he thought so, a scarlet color gradually appeared in Ling's eyes - after all, he didn't want to let the attacker go more than wasting a little bit of his pupil power.

However, before he could see the pattern of magatama in his eyes, the golden-orange chain spread from the bottom of the giant puppet's body and accurately entangled Ling's scabbard. Ling's reaction was not slow. He immediately gripped the scabbard tightly and pressed it down and pulled it. He curled his legs slightly and stepped on the chain that was only as thick as a teenager's arm. He loosened the scabbard and ran all the way upwards. After passing the vortex that had climbed up the lower limbs of the giant puppet at some point, he took the time to give him a thumbs up.

Uzumaki Yi smiled slightly, gathered chakra under his feet, and followed Ling's steps to rush towards the top of the huge puppet.

However, the controller was obviously not the type to sit still and wait for death. After realizing that he had not gotten rid of the two people, he slammed the scepter in his hand towards the top of the giant puppet, and the platform under his feet immediately separated from the giant puppet.

At the same time, the arms that had been abandoned before flew back again and reconnected with the huge puppet, grabbing Ling and Xuanwo Yi respectively.

Looking at the chakra cannon aimed at him, Uzumaki Yi grinned slightly, and the diamond blockade spreading out from behind him pierced into the joints of the huge puppet one after another, and then suddenly straightened up, lifting up a large piece of the puppet's outer panel, and the whole person flashed into the interior of the puppet, causing the chakra cannon to lose its target.

Therefore, Ling, who was left behind, became the target of concentrated fire from both sides. However, Ling did not feel afraid. On the contrary, the smile on his face seemed more real because of the situation of being caught in a pincer attack.

The electric light on his body gradually became brighter, and he changed from holding the knife with one hand to holding it with both hands. The moment he gripped the handle of the knife and moved it backhand toward his right rear side to accumulate power, a light blue wind vortex condensed on the snow-white blade.

And the light blue wind vortex also broke away from the blade the moment Ling swung his sword at the giant fist, and fell lightly towards the fist which was much larger than it was. However, it exploded into whistling blades at the moment of contact, crushing the puppet's fist and forearm into pieces.

"What an incredible move! But I don't think you've ever used it in combat!"

Listening to Xuanwo Yi's voice coming from somewhere, Ling kept moving, and took advantage of the huge puppet's momentary imbalance to quickly rush through the blockade. The lightning on his body gradually weakened, but his speed soared again, and he rushed to the top of the puppet with a few steps. The voice was also full of laughter, "I didn't expect that there would be such an effect in a place with abundant natural energy!"

As Ling finished speaking, the extremely sharp diamond seal came out from the inside of the giant puppet, completely destroying the puppet's left shoulder, and fell to the ground along with the chakra cannon that was ready to fire. Uzumaki Yi's voice was heard in the roar, "It seems that I have to be more careful in choosing the venue when I fight you next time!"

At this moment, the operator had only risen another three or four meters. Ling looked at the other party's slightly terrified expression, his Sharingan slightly turning, and when the other party lost consciousness, he exerted force with his legs, hooked the edge of the platform with his free left hand and turned over, "Then I won't let you go! Catch--eh?"

However, when Shi Ling was about to behead the man, he froze in his tracks. He looked down in surprise at the thread of materialized chakra that had wrapped around his body without him noticing, and said helplessly, "Although there was an element of surprise, my illusion technique is really rusty. Unfortunately, you can't change anything."

Ling looked at the operator who was retreating in fear and wanted to say something. The electric light around him became brighter again, and the chakra lines that were hindering his movements also collapsed. The long sword that was originally blocked chopped down as Ling's shoulder stepped forward, splashing a string of blood.

Ling shook off the blood on the blade and sheathed it, "What a peaceful era this is... Even if you are the first to provoke someone, you can still beg for mercy when you are about to die."

Xuanwo Yi finally jumped onto the floating platform. He glanced at the corpse on the ground and confirmed that the other party would not come back to life. Then he spoke to Ling with a little excitement, "Yes, it seems that in the future, people will pay more attention to external assistance than training themselves. The internal structure of this puppet is quite sophisticated. It is an unimaginable magical creation in our time! I have never thought of flying with the help of other means except the spirit beast!"

Listening to the loud noise generated by the huge puppet falling, Ling nodded slightly, "Indeed, but compared to those, we seem to have other troubles now."

Uzumaki Yi kicked the body off the platform, "What?"

Ling pointed to the steadily rising platform beneath his feet, his face serious, "How are we going to control this thing?"

[Because the author can't remember the original plot, but can't spare the time to rewatch a theater version that doesn't have much intersection with the main timeline, there may be a bug in the giant puppet here - the puppet described in the article is about 15 meters tall (about five floors)]
