Amongst the three of them, Chen Xi was in a relatively better state. Holding onto the Swinging Rod, he said in a stern voice, "Zhang Tao, remove your barrier.

Zhang Tao glared at Lao Yu and the other two, and said word by word. "Yu Jingyan, I have underestimated you. Even if you kill Ah Da, I will not let you off. "

"Oh? I'd like to see why you didn't let us go! Do you want us to be trapped in a Spirit Formation and die?" "Don't be naive. As long as we kill you, the Spirit Formation will naturally dissipate." Lao Yu sarcastically replied.

"Do you know what kind of talent the Puppeteers are?" Zhang Tao suddenly said.

Lao Yu, Chen Xi and Chen Xi looked at each other. How would they know the secret of the Puppet Master?

"This is my first time coming in contact with a puppeteer, who knows why you guys are so lacking in manpower." Lao Yu said.

"Because there are many puppeteers who find it difficult to create a puppet in their entire lives. In this way, compared to other cultivators, puppeteers are clearly at a disadvantage. They have to toil for a lifetime and only be able to create a few puppets that cannot be displayed. Thus, the puppeteers turned to other cultivation forces, such as the Taoist, Buddhist, Devil, and so on. Do you know why I still insist on being a puppet master? " Zhang Tao said again.

Lao Yu frowned, thinking whether this Zhang Tao was really going to tell them the secrets of the Puppet Master, or if he was deliberately stalling for time.

"If you have something to say, hurry up and say it. Don't keep us in suspense." Lao Yu said snappily.

"The reason why I insist on becoming a Puppet Master and wholeheartedly researching the [Puppet Technique] is because I have created a puppet that is telepathically linked with me." Zhang Tao said.

Lao Yu pointed to the pile of soil and wood mixed with metal puppet corpses on the ground and said, "That thing? Haha, looks like the path of a Puppet Master is truly harmful, your puppets that are telepathically linked with your father's Thunder Talisman s do not even have the strength to fight back! "

Zhang Tao's face revealed a profound smile, he shook his head and said, "Ah Da is only a semi-finished product, although he is able to execute my will, he is far from being able to reach the state where my will is compatible with him. Actually, all of you have seen the puppets that are linked to me in the past.

Lao Yu's expression became solemn. He suddenly realized that the puppet Zhang Tao was talking about was referring to the short and short dwarf puppet recorded on the surveillance footage.

"Stop bluffing, is the dwarf you mentioned a finished product? Then hurry up and call him out, and see if he can hold against this daddy's Thunder Talisman. " Lao Yu said.

Whether it's earth, wood, or metal, the materials used to make puppets all have their own flaws, and are unable to completely reach the state where they are connected to a human puppet master. Therefore, I can only try using my own body to refine puppets, but after many failures, I realized that it's not just any human puppet. Sigh, they all have their own thoughts when they were alive, and their bodies are controlled by their own thoughts. Even when they die and become corpses, it would be very difficult for their bodies to reach my satisfaction. Zhang Tao said.

"What method? Can you old boy finish your words in one go?" Lao Yu said impatiently.

"Please wait and see." Zhang Tao said coldly.

Just as he finished speaking, his body instantly changed!

The originally tall and skinny Zhang Tao became shorter. Lao Yu and the others could clearly hear the bones in Zhang Tao's body making "ka ka" sounds, as if there was an enormous invisible force pressing down Zhang Tao from a man of normal height, into a short man.

At the same time, his four limbs became shorter and thicker, and his body became smaller and smaller. A few seconds later, he actually turned into the Dwarf Puppet that Lao Yu and the others had seen on the surveillance screen …

The current Zhang Tao was not even a meter tall, his eyes were big and hollow, his physique was shockingly sturdy, his body was stiff and stiff, and his face revealed a terrifying and strange smile.

"Holy shit, I get it now. You actually refined yourself into a puppet!" Lao Yu cried out in alarm.

Silang and Chen Xi also came back to their senses, the puppet that Zhang Tao said was actually him!

That's right, I am both a puppet master and a puppet, and only by refining my own flesh and blood into a puppet, can I reach the state where our hearts are completely connected. Yu Jingyan, originally, I did not want Ah Da to make a move, but I did not expect him to be killed by you. Zhang Tao's voice was mechanical, without the slightest bit of emotion.

Lao Yu understood, the Ah Xiao that Zhang Tao mentioned was Zhang Tao himself.

At the same time, Lao Yu also felt a chill at the bottom of his heart. In order to pursue the powerful puppet technique, Zhang Tao actually did not hesitate to refine him into a puppet.

Although Lao Yu and the others were not clear what kind of harm Zhang Tao would receive after refining him into a puppet, just by looking at Zhang Tao's current appearance, the three of them knew that Zhang Tao's appearance that was neither human nor a ghost, must have caused him great pain — at least on a psychological level, Zhang Tao was no longer considered human.

"In order to cultivate the Puppet Technique, in order to obtain the most satisfied Puppet, you actually didn't even let yourself go? Zhang Tao, no, I should call you Ah Xiao, don't you feel sad? What's more, you practiced puppet techniques just to steal those treasures? "As a cultivator, your life is too lowly." Lao Yu said with pain in his heart.

"Yu Jingyan, you aren't a puppet master, so you naturally wouldn't understand the difficulties of a puppet master like me. If I can't master the puppet technique, then the master puppet and my bloodline will all be cut off. In order to continue my line of puppet masters' fire, I must master the puppet technique, and not allow this ultimate skill to end in my hands! As for the theft of those items, it's purely my personal hobby. I really enjoy the exciting feeling of stealing all kinds of treasures. I can imagine how shocked the policemen and the stolen shopkeepers were when they saw those strange scenes through the monitoring system. Haha, that feeling is really good … " The expression on Zhang Tao's face was close to insanity.

Lao Yu knew that he could not reason with Zhang Tao, perhaps his heart had already gone berserk when he was still learning puppet techniques. His heart was twisted, abnormal, seeking joy in stealing, and in order to continue the inheritance of puppet masters, he did not hesitate to turn himself into a puppet.

"Cut the crap. You talk like you're the nobleman. To continue being a puppet, you're not a puppet master, you're just a fool who went astray!" I will beat you to death! "

Saying that, Lao Yu pushed Silang, who was seriously sizing up the extremely ugly Ah Xiao, and with that push from Lao Yu, immediately bumped into Ah Xiao's small and muscular body …

Silang's reaction was extremely fast. When he bumped into Ah Xiao, the tibetan knife in his hands had already reached Ah Xiao's neck. But before the blade arrived, Ah Xiao's iron fist had already arrived!

After a loud explosion, Silang was sent flying by Ah Xiao, while he was still flying in the air. His face was filled with shock, because just by relying on this one punch, he could already feel the immense power contained within Ah Xiao's body.

"This little thing's strength is much stronger than the large puppet from before, but the tibetan knife in my hands is riddled with holes. With this, even if I use that move, I'm afraid I won't be able to unleash its full power …" Silang thought.

Lao Yu was stupefied when he saw Silang, who was nearly twice as tall as Ah Xiao, fly into the air before he could even touch Ah Xiao. He quickly dodged backwards, afraid that Ah Xiao would win and chase him.

Ah Xiao did not let him down, his short and stocky body rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed, but at this time, Lao Yu was already completely exhausted from the consumption earlier, and was forced to take a few steps back before he was hit by Ah Xiao. Just as he was about to be hit by Chen Xi's iron fist, Chen Xi finally rescued his Swinging Rod in time and struck Ah Xiao's fist ruthlessly, the result could be imagined, Ah Xiao was only stopped by Chen Xi, and did not manage to harm Lao Yu, but Chen Xi just stumbled and fell to the ground.

"This little thing is really powerful …" Chen Xi said vaguely.

Taking advantage of this, Lao Yu took a few steps back once again and reached into his pocket. Only then did he realise that he only had one Thunder Talisman left on him, which he could use to deal with Ah Da.

His large eyes stared deadly at Lao Yu, and Lao Yu understood that after he defeated Ah Xiao with his Thunder Talisman, Zhang Tao, who had turned into a puppet, had already regarded him as his number one enemy.

"Old Zhang, if you have something to say then say it. I broke your puppet earlier. How about this, I'll pay for another one for you …" How could that thing be sold? Now that we have witnessed the true strength of puppeteers, you can stop cultivating. Hey, I'm talking about you. Lao Yu blabbered on and on as he thought about his escape route.

"Jeb and the rest were definitely blocked by Zhang Tao's enchantment, I am extremely clear of his abilities. He definitely cannot stop the dwarf puppet, he can only place his hopes on Silang, and hope that he still has the ability to hide his abilities …" Lao Yu thought.

Lao Yu was forced into a corner and had nowhere to retreat to.

His right hand was hidden in his chest, he looked at Ah Xiao, and said without batting an eyelid: "There's a path to heaven, yet you refuse to go, Hell has no doors, and yet you insist on coming. Fine, Old Zhang, this daddy will not be merciful then, Lao Chen, prepare to make a move!"

Hearing that, Chen Xi immediately rushed towards Ah Xiao, the Swinging Rod in his hand struck on Ah Xiao's short leg once again, Ah Xiao was already prepared, he steadied himself and although Chen Xi was slapped on his leg, he did not move at all, but Chen Xi was pushed out of the way and the Swinging Rod also fell out of his hands.

"Lao Yu, seize the opportunity, why are you still not making a move?" Chen Xi who was lying on the ground saw that Lao Yu's hand still had not left his chest as he anxiously asked.

Lao Yu shouted "Watch me" and suddenly pulled out his right hand. In his right hand was a piece of paper, and just as he was about to place this piece of paper on Ah Xiao's head, Ah Xiao's head shook and Lao Yu's paper hung on his shoulder.

Ah Xiao stopped attacking Lao Yu and anxiously took off the piece of paper. Lao Yu dodged to the other side of the wall.

"Alright, Yu Jingyan, are you playing with me?" Ah Xiao said angrily.

Because when he tore off the piece of paper, he saw clearly that the piece of toilet paper that Lao Yu had placed on his shoulder was nothing more than an extremely ordinary piece of paper.

Lao Yu laughed bitterly: "I was messing around with you, look at you …"

After looking at the scene in front of him, Silang stood up, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He knew that there were no more Thunder Talisman on Lao Yu, and the heavy responsibility of dealing with Ah Xiao still fell on his shoulders.

After a short period of recovery, he recovered some of his strength. However, due to the matter of not getting anything good from his hands, Silang was filled with fear of the little thing jumping up and down in the courtyard.

Silang walked towards Ah Xiao. Ah Xiao, who was about to kill Lao Yu with a punch, suddenly turned around.
