Chapter 254 Space Barrier

The slave-catching团 members never expected that dealing with only one enemy would cause such a huge commotion!

My heavens, how is it possible for one person to control hundreds of puppets!

And what are those overwhelming silk threads?

What's with that Mafa's combat mech?

Is this really a puppeteer?

And only a Third Order?

Everyone was shocked.

Moreover, by sealing off this space, did that guy intend to kill everyone here?!

At this moment, everyone in the slave-catching团 felt the desperate "madness" revealed by the enemy.

.......

The battle erupted in an instant, with gunfire and screams filling the air.

But puppets have no flesh and blood.

No matter how fierce the gunfire was, it couldn't make them retreat even half a step.

The battle escalated, becoming a one-sided massacre.

Flames, oil sprays, dense smoke obstructing vision...

A familiar routine...

This was just the beginning of despair.

Puppets don't need to breathe, are not hindered by perception, and have endless silk threads for control and sensing, giving them a 70% home-field advantage before the fight even started.

The atmosphere of despair spread further.

They didn't even know where the "enemy" was.

Everyone knew how to deal with a puppeteer, and someone roared repeatedly, "Damn it, that guy is a puppeteer! Ignore the puppets, kill the guy's main body first!"

Unfortunately, how could Su Lun let them kill him so easily?

Even when facing enemies several times their number, the puppet legion showed no fear.

Unified command, tacit cooperation, fearless of life and death, one could imagine their combat power.

Moreover, the current Guiju Puppet Legion, apart from some old ones that couldn't be replaced in time, the new ones all had runes engraved above the Third Order...

Their battle strength was no longer the same.

......

Su Lun, controlling the puppets, began the slaughter, the red glow in his eyes growing hotter and hotter.

The killing made his nerves excited, and the frenzied secretion of hormones made his body increasingly excited.

With soul perception and silk thread perception, his vision was perfectly clear.

In the puppet theater, he was the black hand behind everything.

But he didn't forget that the greatest threats to him in the field were those two Fourth Order professionals.

One was the melee-type团 leader "Thorn Bear" Selt, and the other was the magic-type术士 "Elemental Witch" Frida.

However, Su Lun had no intention of confronting them head-on.

It wouldn't be easy for Selt to break away from the entanglement of the mechanical armor. Even if he could break free for a moment, with Su Lun's void displacement ability, it wouldn't be easy for anyone to catch him.

And just as he was controlling the puppet legion, catching the slave-catchers off guard, the woman hidden in the trees finally made her move.

She had been patient for a long time, waiting for the opportunity to strike.

Little did she know that this opportunity was deliberately given to her by Su Lun!

The woman had absorbed enough elemental power, suddenly appearing, her术士印 pinched, she softly chanted, "Wind Profoundity - Thousand Wheel Strangulation!"

In an instant, countless tiny wind blades suddenly condensed in the air, these wind blades instantly rotating into团s of "wind vortexes" the size of bowls.

Dense and numerous, numbering over a thousand.

Those wind vortexes swept over, and even from a distance, Su Lun felt as if his skin was being scraped by blades.

The tricky part of this术式 was that its power would also be multiplied in a closed space.

A range-type coverage, impossible to avoid!

That woman was obviously planning this!

Seeing this术式, Su Lun's eyes were full of mockery.

Without dodging or avoiding, he grabbed with a finger, and a puppet appeared beside him.

The puppet raised its hands, and a black vortex appeared in the palms of both hands. The huge suction force visibly formed two cyclones. Before the overwhelming wind blades could show their ferocity, they were all absorbed into it.

Now, the [Black Hole Doll] engraved with Fourth Order Rune inscriptions, whether in terms of space reserve or suction, was not the same as the old version.

Even a Fourth Order profoundity术式 could be easily sucked in.

After absorbing it, the puppet seemed to open its mouth again, and another round of the same wind blades spewed out towards the woman.

"What kind of puppet is this?!"

The black-faced woman's expression changed drastically upon seeing this.

Failing her sneak attack, her feet on the tree trunk quickly absorbed the power of the wood element, and she merged into the tree trunk.

The next moment, the wind blades arrived, directly绞 the tree trunk into powder.

"Escaped..."

Su Lun sensed the团 of soul fire fleeing rapidly, and his gaze also narrowed slightly.

With this ability to escape, it wouldn't be easy to kill her.

He turned his eyes and focused on "Thorn Bear" Selt, who was entangled with the mechanical armor.

At this moment, this guy had already unlocked his Fourth Order grafted gear [Gale Bear Needle-Coat], his steel-needle-like fur had armor-piercing effects, able to penetrate the elemental barriers of Fourth Order professionals. He could also defend like a hedgehog, untouchable. Able to attack and defend, he was very tricky for ordinary Fourth Orders.

Unfortunately, although this thing was sharp, it had no effect on the mechanical body of the combat mech.

If he wanted to kill someone, this target was the first choice.

......

Melee-type professionals can fight and run, are vigilant, and have strong survival abilities.

After fighting for a while, Su Lun couldn't find a suitable opportunity to kill him.

The most ideal hunting plan was to control the silk threads and seal off the entire space.

In that case, no matter how resistant Selt was, his survival space would be gradually reduced, and he would die sooner or later.

Unfortunately, simultaneously controlling hundreds of puppets, his "mana" was running low.

"Dark spirit power is far from enough..."

Su Lun wasn't surprised, just a little regretful.

He finally understood what his teacher Selia had told him, that the demand for dark spirit power would become greater and greater in the later stages of the Guiju师.

Now, controlling more than two hundred puppets, his skills were barely enough, but his dark spirit power was stretched thin.

He thought that this problem could only be solved after he reached the Fifth Order and fused with the [Isaac Alchemic Heart].

It was foreseeable how amazing his combat power would be when he had unlimited mana.

Thoughts flashed through his mind.

The one who was anxious now wasn't Su Lun.

In such a close-quarters battle, the most he would lose was some reproducible puppets.

The elites of the slave-catching团 would be slaughtered.

Those two Fourth Orders would try every means to kill him.

Sure enough, just as the woman's sneak attack failed, Su Lun watched "Thorn Bear" Selt charge towards him.

Seeing that the protruding steel needles showed signs of firing, Su Lun immediately realized what he was going to do, his mind racing, and he instantly thought of a response.

.......

After dozens of rounds of fighting, the two Fourth Orders of the Sun Slave-Catching团 also knew that Su Lun was not easy to kill.

After all, as团 leader and vice团 leader, they had been cooperating for many years and were very tacit.

Even without communication, they knew what to do.

Although the black-skinned woman's sneak attack was fruitless, it created an opportunity for Selt to attack. He watched Su Lun controlling the puppets, decisively burst out, briefly broke free from the entanglement of the mechanical armor, and charged towards Su Lun.

From a distance, his术士印 pinched, the steel hairs on his body suddenly lengthened against the wind, shooting out like feathered arrows.

"嗖" "嗖" "嗖"...

Steel needles a foot long swept over the sky.

Su Lun also had some impression of this signature move of his.

"Secret Technique - Thousand Needle Rain," a range-type spell, was considered this guy's ultimate move. The armor-piercing steel needles could easily pierce the elemental barriers of Fourth Order professionals, so it wasn't wise to take it head-on.

He had been accumulating power for a long time, waiting for this moment.

The steel needles sealed off almost all the paths in front of him, and a person's instinct would be to avoid towards the dead corner.

But Su Lun also knew.

This was exactly what that person was planning.

The front was the killing move, and there were also ambushes in the dead corners to avoid!

"Tsk tsk... so that's the plan..."

Su Lun's attention wasn't just on what was in front of him.

The woman underground probably always thought she was hiding very well.

Little did she know that her movements were always under Su Lun's control.

Su Lun remembered that the two of them seemed to have some tacit combination attack skill, having killed many powerful enemies together.

But what he got were fragmented memories, a bit vague.

It was obviously unwise to avoid according to the enemy's plan.

Su Lun instantly analyzed the optimal solution.

He determined that these steel needles were likely not able to kill him!

And as long as he killed one of the opponent's Fourth Orders, the situation would immediately reverse from a stalemate!

The opponent wasn't a fool, and would obviously collect information.

Su Lun clearly remembered what means he had exposed.

The opponent didn't know what the Black Scythe was, but after one of their Fourth Orders died, they were obviously prepared.

The spatial displacement ability was also likely to have been figured out to some extent.

Silk threads and puppets were currently in use.

But what they didn't know was...

Not all puppeteers have a "weak chicken" main body.

Su Lun's melee ability was not bad at all!

.......

Su Lun didn't choose to avoid towards the dead corner of the steel needles, but saw him suddenly stomp his foot, and after a "啪" sound of air explosion, his figure disappeared in place.

The afterimage dissipated, and upon closer inspection, his entire person had charged straight towards the rain of steel needles.

Selt's gaze sharpened, and he naturally recognized this as the only profoundity technique of melee-type professionals, [Sky-Stepping Gait].

But this wasn't the time for him to be shocked. Watching Su Lun's figure disappear, he realized that he had used spatial displacement in rapid succession, avoiding the steel needle rain in front of him.

But the trajectory of spatial displacement could also be predicted through some movements before the disappearance.

"He actually chose to charge straight over?"

Selt was very puzzled, a puppeteer actually chose to confront him head-on?

So fast that in the instant a thought flashed, the figure had already appeared in front of him, and he also unhesitatingly threw a punch forward.

However, just as he threw this punch with certainty, he immediately noticed something was wrong, his expression changing drastically: "How is this possible?!"

He was shocked to find that this punch actually had a feeling of "missing"!

No,

Not missing.

But misjudging the distance!

He clearly judged that the two were only a meter apart.

But after extending his arm, he found that there was a gap of 1.1 meters between them!

Although the distance difference was not much, the best point of force for the fist was different, and the effect of the attack was also vastly different.

Not to mention the power being reduced by 70-80%, if this punch had hit, he could have responded calmly whether he used the force to defend or pursued the attack.

But this one punch "missing" disrupted all his subsequent combat responses.

He even staggered, revealing a huge flaw.

With a "咚" sound.

Although Su Lun took a punch, the power of this punch was painless, and the steel needles on the fist didn't even pierce his Diamond Body Protection.

His eyes glowed red, and the corners of his mouth raised, "Hehe... it ends here."

This attack wasn't because the opponent made a mistake, but because Su Lun had condensed a layer of [Space Barrier] in front of him just now.

This wasn't visual deception, but pure space stretched the local space a bit.

Without understanding the laws of space, it was difficult to detect.

This was because Su Lun, after剥离 the Fourth Order space law fragment, suddenly mastered the术式 that he had been struggling to cultivate. Although the distorted space wasn't much, it was enough now!

Su Lun looked at the huge flaw revealed by the opponent, his eyes full of coldness.

That guy's reaction was also extremely fast, and the steel needles on his body had already stood up, instantly entering a defensive state.

Unfortunately, Su Lun wouldn't use his bare fists to confront him head-on.

You know how to flank, and so do I!

You are two people, but I have countless puppets...

Just at this time, a burst of steam exploded from behind Selt, and the mechanical armor had already charged over.

In this instant, Selt was terrified, and immediately understood that he was scheming against the opponent, and the opponent had already planned the current flanking response when he made his move just now: "How is it possible... He controls so many puppets, how can he still have such a reaction!"

Unfortunately, one mistake was enough to make him pay a heavy price.

The sound of mechanical explosion behind him was unavoidable, and he could only try to curl up his body and protect his vital points.

"嘭!"

A loud metallic sound.

The ship-slaying blade heavily chopped down on Selt's body, and the vibrating blade chopped off countless steel needles with a crackling sound. One blade split open the flesh, revealing the pale bones. This blade directly created a huge gash dozens of centimeters long from his rear to his waist.

Selt didn't resist, but used the force to fly backwards, avoiding the fate of being cut in half.

After landing, he wanted to escape immediately.

Thinking that his companion would definitely respond to him immediately.

But as soon as he landed, a biting chill instantly struck.

A glance from the corner of his eye, several puppets spewing frost were wildly spraying at the position where he landed.

Selt realized that there was a third wave of attack.

The opponent had predicted where he would land!

What a similar tactic.

All of them wanted to force the opponent to reveal flaws, multiple flanking attacks.

But they only saw one step, while his opponent saw the next three steps.

No, it was four layers.

Selt looked at the frost all over the ground, his face ashen.

The super-strong frost adhesion, not to mention that he now had a broken leg, even if he didn't, he would be greatly restricted.

He immediately realized that this frost, in addition to controlling his escape, had another purpose.

That was to cut off the possibility of his partner rescuing him.

The ability of "Elemental Escape" was indeed very powerful, but it wasn't impossible to restrain.

Just like the large-scale frost coverage in front of him, his partner could not possibly escape from the ground to rescue him.

If he came, he would immediately fall into the same frostbitten situation.

In that instant, Selt knew that he was doomed, and the last thought flashed through his mind.

The appearance of a spatial rift, his head landed on the ground.
