Chapter 215: The Blood Flower Beauty

Chapter 215: The Blood Flower Beauty

"Oh no! Has Rain Alley City experienced Ghost Night Walk?"

"Is the Shadow Puppet Clan performing Ghost Night Walk? No way!"

"Each one is more dangerous than the last. The city of Guangyueguan also experienced Ghost Night Walk, and that's the territory of the Hellbound Demon Clan!"

"Hellbound Demon Clan is nothing! On the other side of the Qiantang River in Hangzhou, a Tree Shadow Mother has descended! It's a Demon Lord!"

"Are you guys even human? What's there to compare? Can't you see people are about to die?"

"Honored Fathers, I'm watching on my computer. How do I zoom in?"

"I'm watching her eyes on the screen. Should be fine, right? I'm afraid of falling into an illusion."

"Just watch boldly! Sister Flame has been calling out all night, but some people still haven't shown any compassion!"

"Haha, Shadow Puppet is laughing!"

The Demon·Shadow Puppet indeed laughed.

With her alluring and captivating appearance, coupled with her charming laughter, she further bewitched the audience in front of their phones and computers.

However, the crowd on the overpass was on high alert, as if facing a formidable enemy!

"Hehe~" Shadow Puppet giggled.

She swept her hand over her skirt, and the tattered red cloth strips and red silk threads seemed to come alive, fluttering in the air.

At the same time, her ruby-like eyes emitted a dazzling glow.

"Don't look into her eyes!" Sun Zhengfang shouted, alerting his teammates.

The Shadow Puppet Clan possessed the Evil Art: Shadow Puppet Eye.

Once people fell victim to it, they would be drawn into a terrifying illusion.

There, countless red silk threads would pierce their bodies, leaving them riddled with wounds and in excruciating pain! Although the injuries sustained in the illusion wouldn't manifest on their physical bodies, the pain was very real.

Under such extreme and cruel torture, the prey would eventually be driven to mental collapse by the Shadow Puppet.

"Hmm?" Shadow Puppet raised her eyebrows, a captivating curve forming at the corners of her mouth.

Suddenly, she lifted her hand and reached forward.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

In an instant, countless red silk threads appeared out of thin air, each one a small segment, like fine red needles scattering towards the crowd.

Shadow Puppet Evil Art: Shadow Puppet Needles!

Wei Long didn't hesitate and raised his hand as well.

His bright red robe billowed, covering the area.

The red needles fell like rain, landing on the Blood Slaughter Robe.

A continuous series of clinking sounds echoed, dense and unceasing, causing everyone's scalp to tingle.

Fortunately, Wei Long was already at the Fifth Stage of the River Realm, and his Blood Slaughter Robe had incredible defensive capabilities.

"Big Dragon, tie her up!" Sun Zhengfang commanded while reaching out with one hand, "Lu Ran, attract her attention!

Shadow Puppet is a stationary type, and she can't do anything to you.

Jiang Ruyi, burn her!"

"Buzz~"

As Sun Zhengfang cast his spell, several tree branches grew out from the bridge surface.

At the same time, Wei Long summoned numerous chains.

"Oh?" Shadow Puppet smiled with a hint of amusement.

Such a posture was far from the brutal appearance expected of the Demon Clan.

As energy surged within her, the tattered crimson skirt lightly danced.

To be honest, the Shadow Puppet Clan's attire was already revealing, and with the tattered skirt swaying like this, it made people blush and think impure thoughts!

"Clatter, clatter!"

Blood-colored chains appeared out of thin air, coiling towards Shadow Puppet.

Unexpectedly, she fell for it? No, she wasn't bound by the chains!

Because from within her crimson skirt, countless red cloth strips and silk threads emerged.

Evil Art: Shadow Puppet Robe!

Neither the branches on the bridge surface nor the blood-colored chains that appeared out of thin air could restrain her.

Instead, her red cloth strips and silk threads bound the branches and chains! It was evident that this garment had powerful effects.

For a moment, both sides were locked in a stalemate.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~!"

Shadow Puppet allowed her tattered crimson skirt to engage the enemy, raising her hand once more.

Countless red needles poured down, mixing with the rain, creating a beautiful scene accompanied by the sound of tearing through the air.

It must be said that Demon·Shadow Puppet was truly formidable!

She stood her ground against two opponents, Sun Zhengfang and Wei Long, both at the Fifth Stage of the River Realm.

The Shadow Puppet Clan excelled in defense and control.

Against most opponents, they could indeed hold their ground.

However, this clan also had a fatal weakness—slow movement! It wasn't that they were inherently slow.

The Evil Art: Shadow Puppet Robe was incredibly heavy! It was beyond imagination how many cloth strips and red threads were hidden within that tattered red skirt. And it was because of this that Shadow Puppet could stand her ground against two opponents, relying on the power of her garment to remain steady.

"Baa~~~"

Suddenly, a sheep's bleat echoed.

Moreover, it came from the other end of the overpass, behind Shadow Puppet!

Shadow Puppet: !!!

Her expression finally changed, and the cruel and violent desires in her heart surged.

Shadow Puppet abruptly turned her head.

Through the tightly entangled red cloth and the gaps in the chains, she saw a human standing on the stairs below the overpass.

Her ruby eyes gleamed with an odd light, but the evil art she prided herself on was completely ineffective.

Because the human youth wearing a yellow raincoat had his eyes closed!

"Hiss!!"

Shadow Puppet's face turned angry, and she quickly reached out.

This time, no red needles fell.

Instead, from the tip of her fingers, red silk threads shot out.

The silk threads moved flexibly, skillfully weaving through the gaps in the cloth strips and chains!

"Whoosh~"

After emerging, the red threads headed straight for Lu Ran at an astonishing speed.

Lu Ran nodded inwardly, knowing they were coming.

"Sizzle—"

Mist surged beneath Lu Ran's feet, and he slid sideways, not daring to be careless.

This was the core evil art of the Shadow Puppet Clan—Shadow Puppet Threads!

If he were entangled by the red threads or pierced through his body, it would be troublesome! Lu Ran would become a puppet, controlled at Shadow Puppet's whim.

In the Great Xia, there is a saying that goes:

"Rather than enter the Palace of the Underworld, I'd never touch the Puppet Charm."

People would rather venture into the jaws of danger or even face death than fall victim to this move! For beneath the Puppet Shadow's beautiful exterior lies an incredibly malicious heart.

She takes pleasure in manipulating people, inciting them to kill each other!

And those being manipulated are fully conscious, but their bodies refuse to obey their commands.

In other words, you would witness and personally kill your loved ones and friends, or watch helplessly as your friends and family, driven to despair, are forced to kill you.

Whichever outcome, it's a tragedy beyond words!

Fortunately, the Puppet Shadow clan is quite rare.

If members of this clan, like the Evil Dog and Mist Shadow, frequently appeared in the world, who knows how many more tragedies they would cause.

"Swoosh~"

The Radiant Light Saber flashed by, slashing out a golden-red blade beam.

It darted towards Lu Ran's five red threads, cutting off a large section of each.

"Yah!!!"

The Puppet Shadow let out a painful cry, her expression finally changing.

Although the Radiant Light Saber had clearly cut the red silk threads, it felt as if it had slashed the Puppet Shadow's flesh! The five red threads momentarily paused, then surged towards Lu Ran with even greater ferocity.

"Hiss!"

The Puppet Shadow's eyes gleamed with malice, and from between her red lips, a deep, low hissing sound emanated.

At the same time, on the other side of the bridge.

"Hang in there!" Jiang Ruyi flew on the south side of the overpass, her fingertips drawing invisible ice charms in the air, continuously sketching frost runes.

One after another, ice charms were flung towards the direction of the Puppet Shadow.

Jiang Ruyi didn't follow Sun's command, choosing not to burn the Puppet Shadow.

After all, it was still raining in Rain Alley City!

She went against the grain, attempting to freeze the Demon instead.

This decision was made jointly by Jiang Ruyi and Lu Ran.

"Swoosh~ Swoosh!"

Jiang Ruyi didn't need to aim; the endless red threads and cloth would automatically shatter the white jade plate.

The crimson long skirt worn by the Puppet Shadow had autonomous defense and could fight on its own.

Within a 30-meter radius around the Puppet Shadow, it was like a "defense field" that ordinary people couldn't get close to.

Why 30 meters? Because the River Artifact, the Puppet Charm, could shoot out red threads and cloth strips up to 30 meters long.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The crisp sound rang out endlessly, and frost spread in waves, causing the temperature to drop sharply.

Visible to the naked eye, the frost was soaking the red threads and cloth strips, spreading towards the Puppet Shadow's main body!

Jiang Ruyi's other hand was raised high.

In the distant night sky, a Cool Night Sword was flying higher and higher.

The Divine Weapon was the most crucial element in Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi's tactics! The Cool Night Sword wasn't leaving the battlefield; it was increasing its sprint distance! At the same time, on the ground north of the overpass, a dazzling golden-red glow flashed by, cutting off another large section of the red threads.

"Hiss!!!"

The Puppet Shadow was in so much pain that her face contorted, losing her former charming appearance.

Her Puppet Charm was being soaked in frost, and it was about to spread to her main body.

But the Puppet Shadow didn't care at all! In her eyes, there was only that little lamb.

"Baa~~~"

Hearing the lamb's bleat on top of her intense hatred, the Puppet Shadow took two steps at a time, supporting her heavy long skirt, and walked to the bridge railing, her red pupils fixed on Lu Ran below the bridge.

Such a scene was quite rare!

Lu Ran was indeed extremely malicious, seeing how he was pushing the Puppet Shadow.

She used to be so lazy that she wouldn't even move, but now she's walking quickly~

If Lu Ran shouted a few more times, perhaps he could make the Puppet Shadow jump over the railing?

"Baa!" Lu Ran grabbed the incoming Radiant Light Saber and turned to run.

The Puppet Shadow watched the lamb's back, maliciously scattering a shower of red fine needles.

"Screech—"

Lu Ran suddenly dodged, escaping the red rain, then turned around, facing the overpass and sliding backwards.

"She's been frosted! The Puppet Shadow has been soaked in frost!" Sun Zhengfang's roar came from a distance.

Not just the Puppet Shadow,

Even Sun Zhengfang and Wei Long, who were fighting and retreating, were frozen stiff!

Lu Ran stomped his foot, and Immortal Mist surged as he charged towards the overpass:

"Baa!!!"

"Hiss!!!" The Puppet Shadow trembled from the cold, already driven mad by the "Baa" sound.

She raised her frost-covered palm and unleashed her power.

A shower of red rain fell, and five silk threads attacked.

Unlike the red threads extended by the Evil Spell: Puppet Charm, the five red threads shot out by the Evil Spell: Silk Threads seemed to have infinite reach.

"Swoosh~"

Lu Ran suddenly brandished the Radiant Light Saber.

"Swoosh~"

On the other side of the overpass, the Cool Night Sword rapidly stabbed, aiming straight for the bridgehead.

The Puppet Shadow's face turned ashen! Lu Ran stepped forward, and finally stopped at the edge of the red rain.

Lu Ran never intended to get close and kill the Demon.

His speed was lent to the Radiant Light Saber.

At this moment, both in front of and behind the Puppet Shadow, the sound of shattering frost could be heard.

The Radiant Light Saber and Cool Night Sword lived up to their names as Divine Weapons! With unmatched momentum, the sword and saber pierced through the frost-covered cloth strips, aiming straight for the enemy's head.

"Baa~~~"

Lu Ran darted to the side, agile as ever, keeping the Puppet Shadow's hatred focused on him.

"Screech!"

"Screech!!" The sword and saber crossed through the Puppet Shadow's head.

That beautiful head, soaked in frost, exploded.

"Huff~"

Lu Ran paused, and the five red threads lay limp, drooping at his feet.

Following the red threads, Lu Ran looked up at the bridgehead and saw a headless female corpse leaning on the bridge railing.

Streams of blood flowed down towards the bridge, splashing into charming blood flowers.

Lu Ran pursed his lips:

"Hmm, even more beautiful."
