Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

In the venue, hundreds of puppets formed a circle and charged towards the central position. Their movements quickly changed from stiff to agile.

The running speed was uniform, the rumbling footsteps were connected together, and the team of hundreds of people actually brought out the momentum of a thousand troops charging.

During the charge, bright golden light lit up on each puppet's body one after another, forming a golden ocean that surged toward Xu Yue in the center.

Even though these puppets have become puppets, their martial arts skills still exist, and there is even a tendency to become faintly stronger.

After all, injury and death are meaningless to them, so they naturally don't care about the damage to their meridians and can freely use their internal energy. The only value of their existence is to complete the orders given by their masters.

The crowd was close at hand, and a pair of golden and red wings stretched out behind Xu Yue. As the heat wave roared, he turned into a line of fire and soared into the sky, escaping the encirclement.

This is the power of having control of the air. Faced with the encirclement and suppression of many enemies, he can escape at any time, which can be called a dimensionality reduction strike.

The target in front of them disappeared, and the charging momentum of the puppets immediately slowed down. When they were about to collide, they all stopped invariably. Under the secret command of the violator, these puppets can all obey orders and prohibitions, which is the ideal of a commander. The best soldier among them.

On the ground, a dense crowd of people occupied the position where Xu Yue was before. Their heads were raised at the same time, and hundreds of lifeless eyes stared at the target suspended in the sky.

After discovering that they could not attack the height of the target, the puppet group bent down and touched the ground. Their golden hands were like two steel shovels, easily inserted into the ground below.

The soil mixed with rocks was pried up with strong force, and the half-meter-sized hard earth and rocks were lifted high by the puppets.

The next moment, hundreds of stones were thrown out!

The sound of breaking through the sky resounded through the void, and countless pieces of earth and stone were thrown out with all their strength, and the sky was covered with darkness, and they roared towards the target above.

Above the puppet tide, Xu Yue looked down at the wave of black earth and rocks coming from below. The golden and red wings behind his back flapped downwards, and suddenly a raging sea of ​​flames swept down.

The waves of black and red collide in the void. Under the terrifying temperature of the Pure Sun Flame, the earth and rocks are often melted into hot magma in the sea of ​​fire before they even get close to the target, and then rain down like a curtain.

Because of this, the puppets' goal of shooting down Xu Yue has not yet been achieved. Instead, they were completely drenched by the pouring lava rain.

Behind the sea of ​​​​fire, Xu Yue was still suspended in the void, quietly watching the sea of ​​​​fire below. Countless fine golden-red light spots continued to pour in from all directions, and then condensed on the wings behind him, allowing its size to continue to expand. , the golden-red luster became more and more dazzling.

He spent a lot of mana to condense these light spots after entering the circus venue. They contain extremely strong firepower. When they are gathered together, he can break through the mana limit and deliver a fatal blow.

After a few breaths, the sea of ​​fire beneath him had become thinner under the bombardment of earth and rocks. Until beams of golden light flew out from the ground, the sea of ​​fire was finally penetrated by the golden light and collapsed into nothingness.

Within the golden light, there were one golden puppet after another. After discovering that the earth and rocks could not break through the defense of the sea of ​​fire, they decisively picked up their companions on the side and threw them into the sky as throwing objects.

Compared to the fragile earth and stone, the puppets using the indestructible power were not a little bit stronger. They easily dispersed the sea of ​​​​fire that blocked the road, and each one opened its arms and rushed towards Xu Yue.

They do not have the ability to fly, but as long as they can grab the target, they can drag it down. When they reach the ground, they are the home ground of hundreds of tanks.

It's a pity, the expectation was very good, but as soon as the beam broke through the flames, a domineering halberd came forward. A series of muffled thunder and explosions sounded in the air, and the broken parts fell down.

The two-foot-long Fang Tian painted halberd was wielded by Xu Yue in an airtight manner. These indestructible diamonds, which were generally only five or six levels, could not stop the crushing effect of the halberd. Once it hit, the golden light would dissipate and the body would disintegrate. One exception.

After smashing dozens of puppets in succession, the golden light below was still flying out of the crowd, and Xu Yue no longer wanted to delay. Feeling that the wings behind him gradually expanded to three times the usual size, he The muscles of both arms were raised and they were jerked downwards.

The halberd flew out of the air, piercing multiple beams of golden light along the way, and headed straight towards the center of the puppet tide. Behind it, a golden-red fireball formed by the folded wings of its wings followed closely behind.

"boom!"

Fang Tian's painted halberd landed first, and the raging force crushed all the puppets within a two-meter radius in the center into slag. The ground was sunken into pits, and then the huge golden-red fireball also landed on the person who was hit by the halberd. Within the pit.

"red lotus!!"

An even more shocking roar sounded from the center of the town until it spread throughout the entire Solid Stone Town, and the majestic waves of fire swept across all directions.

The gorgeous golden-red lotus petals are unfolded layer by layer, but the beautiful appearance hides the ultimate terror. With each layer of lotus petals unfolded, the temperature inside will soar several levels.

When the red lotus of more than ten meters was fully unfolded, its internal temperature had risen to a level that was enough to melt gold and iron in an instant, burning everything within three hundred meters. The appearance of the red lotus soaring into the sky, even in the It can be seen clearly from miles away in the town.

On the outskirts of the town, more than a dozen intelligence personnel of the Shadow Organization hidden in the main entrance and exit all raised their heads and looked at the flaming red lotus blooming in the center of the town with horror.

"What's this?"

Among them, there were those who were confused and muttered to themselves, and there were also those who were quick-thinking and looked at the red lotus in the distance with fascination.

"That should be Master Xinhuo's move. It is said that he also used it when he destroyed the Bird Gate. Is this the power of the Shadow Assassin? It is not at the same level as us."

After a while, the red lotus slowly faded away, and everyone present came to their senses. The leader shouted an order.

"Lord Xinhuo is already taking action, keeping an eye on all the main roads. Not even a fly can escape and let him fly out of the town."

"yes!"

…………

In the center of the town, the battlefield that was once a fierce battle has now turned into a dead silence.

The dark square was filled with rivers of lava and mud with scorched corpses. Except for Xu Yue, there was no living thing within 300 meters.

In the central magma pool, a silver figure wearing a golden-red cloak slowly walked out from the edge of the magma pool. The red magma dripped down the halberd in his hand, and curls of white smoke rose from the charred land, indifferently sweeping over the surrounding areas. In the scorched earth, Xu Yue frowned slightly.

Although the blow just now destroyed all the puppets present, the violator's killing prompt was still not heard in his ears.

At this time, although his face was calm and his steps were steady, there was a hint of fatigue hidden between his brows.

But thinking about it, how could such a powerful move just now consume so little?

This thought was not only his, but also that of the offender.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep."

"Smelling the fragrance of blood, I found the palace of rest."

"A scene of ruin, with ghosts singing wildly."

"Black rosemary blooms and vines grow."

"The soul looks and believes in the bloody moonlight."

In the deep silence, Xu Yue's earwheels moved slightly, and a soft music sounded quietly. This beautiful voice seemed to have an irresistible magic power. As soon as he heard it, the boiling fighting spirit in his chest slowly subsided. .

A sense of incomparable tranquility caressed his restless heart, the night turned into a soft mattress, the moonlight covered the quiet silver gauze, his eyes began to droop uncontrollably, and he fell asleep for a moment.

Just when Xu Yue was leaning on the halberd and fell unconscious, the violator who had been crushed by Xu Yue's halberd walked out of the darkness. Accompanied by the drums of a lullaby, he was wearing a neat tuxedo and walked towards Xu Yue with steps similar to classical dance. Yue is approaching step by step.

Beautiful music came from the chest, and as his fingers moved, countless black hairs poured out, wrapping around Xu Yue's body.

Throwing away the obstructive Fang Tian painted halberd, the offender looked greedily at the hunter who was just around the corner. The opponent's strength seriously exceeded his expectations. As long as he could be transformed into a puppet, he would definitely get the queen. Your Majesty’s great reward.

Suddenly, the offender's steps froze, and Xu Yue, who was supposed to be sleeping in front of him, suddenly opened his eyes, with coquettish purple fireworks burning inside.

The trace of fatigue deep in the brows was swept away, and instead a violent evil aura emerged. The lips were split, revealing a mouth full of strong white teeth.

"boom!!"

Noisy pillars of golden and red fire soared into the sky, all the black hair entangled around Xu Yue's body was burned out, and his drooping right hand thrust out in the shape of a claw.

The offender, who was not good at close combat, was unable to dodge at this distance. The sharp silver claws penetrated straight through his chest, and he pinched a blood-stained music box and stretched out from his back.

"Got you!"

The right hand holding the music box shook with force, and the music box in his hand immediately shattered into pieces, and the lullaby that made him feel dazed finally stopped.

The violator hanging on the arm was even split into two by the tyrannical Beng Jin. His limbs, chest and abdomen were neatly split from the middle, and a solitary head fell from the air.

But before it hit the ground, Xu Yue's generous palms were already burning with flames, slapping him from both sides.

"Bang!!"

A ball of fire exploded between his palms, and the head vaporized and disappeared directly under the pure Yangyan.

"Hoo~"

Xu Yuegang breathed a sigh of relief, but something unexpected happened again. When he was focusing on destroying the fallen head, dense transparent hair suddenly emerged from the broken body on both sides and wrapped around him.

Different from the previous jet-black hair that would be destroyed by burning, the transparent hair that appeared now was like an invisible object. Whether it was the golden-red flames on the body or the silver skin, it was easily passed through by this hair and was completely submerged. inside the body.

This is the puppet violator's most important trump card - the soul-pulling thread. Only the thread specifically targeted at the soul can ignore all external defenses. It is also the key to his ability to freely control so many puppets.

He did not hesitate to use the music box as bait in order to let the soul-pulling thread successfully bind the enemy's soul. He was not good at melee combat, but he was an expert at playing traps.

"Pah...pah..."

Crisp applause came from the darkness, and another violator stepped out. As long as his soul is bound by the soul-stirring thread, no matter how strong the method is, there will be no use, and no matter how strong the body is, it cannot protect the weak one inside. soul.

In other words, he had already won when the soul-pulling thread entered his body.

Clapping his hands and walking out of the darkness behind, the offender looked at Xu Yue, who was not far away and stiffened due to the soul-stringing thread entering his body. The thin black lines on his cheeks were cracked to the base of his ears, and his separated upper and lower jaws began to collide continuously. , making a "ka ka ka" sound and seeming to be laughing heartily.

After losing the music box, the offender also lost the ability to speak, but as long as he could control the puppet, it was all worth it.

The scene where his body was destroyed in the blink of an eye was still vivid in his mind, so after walking out of the darkness, he did not continue to get closer, but just pulled hard with his ten fingers, intending to pull out Xu Yue's soul first.

Only by completely mastering the other party's soul can one be truly foolproof.

But the strange thing is that as the soul-retaining thread was pulled, Xu Yue, who was clearly locked, was not pulled out of his soul. However, his strong body trembled slightly and then became unresponsive.

It was as if what was tied up by the soul-stringing thread was not the soul, but the opponent's body.

'how so? ’

The offender's eyes widened in disbelief, and the mocking smile on his face froze. The feeling from the soul-pulling thread was that his soul had obviously been tied up, but how could he not be able to pull it out?

No matter how strong the physical defense is, it should be meaningless to the soul, and the strength of the opponent's soul cannot reach the point where it cannot be shaken.

He continued to pull unbelievingly, but it still had no effect. The other party didn't even have the slight trembling reaction before.

"You've learned your lesson, why don't you keep getting closer?"

Just when the violator was doubting his life, Xu Yue's indifferent voice suddenly came from the other side. In his wide eyes, the hunter who had been submerged in the body by the soul-drawing thread actually started to move without any impact.

Looking at the transparent silk thread that was embedded in his chest, Xu Yue smiled faintly, reached out and grabbed the silk thread that should not be touched by the body, and then pulled it out from the inside of the chest.

[You have been hit by the ‘Soul Pulling Thread’, and the soul strength is being determined...]

[If the judgment fails, your soul will be locked by the ‘soul-pulling thread’, and your soul will be entangled...]

[The existence of the soul was not found, and the 'soul-pulling silk' entanglement failed. Due to the influence of the hunter's 'spiritual and flesh fusion' skill, the soul has been fused with the body, and the entanglement effect on the soul will be directed against the hunter's body. The physical entanglement was successful. 】

Recalling the previous battle records in his mind, Xu Yue turned to look at the violator behind him with a sinister smile.

This guy is quite sinister!

It's a pity that it's not good to use any means, but the means that target the soul must be used.

Combination of spirit and body: LV.MAX (passive)

Skill effect 1: The Jiuli clan is inherited from the ancient witch clan. They are born without souls and souls and flesh are in harmony. The attack effects of all soul-based skills will be converted to target the physical body. Similarly, hunters cannot master all soul-based skills.

…………

Under the influence of Jiuli's bloodline, his soul has long been deeply integrated with his body. For him, the strength of the soul is actually part of the strength of the body. The offender wants to pull out the soul, but only his body can be pulled out. That’s all.

And with the opponent's weak strength, it's still far from being able to pull him over. The 'unity of soul and body' makes his soul basically invulnerable. After all, I don't even have it, so what can I attack?

Looking at the soul-retaining thread in his hand that was constantly twisting and trying to break free, but was still firmly grasped by his big hand, Xu Yue spoke softly:

"I have a few similar ones to this thing."

The next moment, countless densely packed milky white chains stretched out from his palm, extending crazily along the transparent silk thread in his hand, but the direction of extension was not to the violator in front of him, but to a darkness on the right.

"Sure enough, it's just another cover."
