"You little brat! I really want to hit you again!!"
Princess Longji let out a final cry, as if trying to make her voice reach the ears of the person whose face that face belonged to, but only she could hear it as she softly said—
"I will become your angel and protect you..."
"Little brat? Who is that?"
At this moment, a question flashed through everyone's minds: who was the little rascal Princess Longji was talking about? They had never heard of anyone she called a little rascal.
This kind of address, and the person she thought of at the last moment, is definitely not an ordinary person; it must be someone she was closest to!
This question only flashed through their minds, because the current situation didn't allow them to think about it; they were still observing how things developed!
Now, it seems another unexpected incident has occurred, leaving everyone temporarily at a loss for what to do—at least until this unexpected event happens, no one is thinking about anything else!
Just as an assassin's sword was about to touch Princess Longji, and other attacks were about to follow, just as Princess Longji was about to perish as expected, an unexpected turn of events occurred!
"Bang!"
The assassin was knocked away by a figure, who at the same time caught Princess Longji and turned his back to the group, letting the swords and blades strike him!
And this figure was actually—
"Little one?"
"Silly boy?"
"A little girl?!"
"Bad woman!?"
"Lady Lei Di?"
Although these titles are all different, they all refer to the same person: Ye Lang's Puppet Girl!
This figure is none other than the Puppet Girl who had been lying there motionless. Her movement means that Ye Lang has also woken up!
But why would he do that?
Are you still drunk?
The fact that the Puppet Girl blocked those attacks in this way greatly surprised everyone. No one would believe that someone could use their physical body to withstand such attacks unless they were sacrificing themselves to protect others.
But why would this Puppet Girl risk her life to protect someone? Logically, she should have killed Princess Longji; don't forget, she's Cold-Blooded Seventh's "cousin."
It's quite obvious that Cold-Blooded Seventh is one of the more important people in this group of assassins, as can be seen from her skills!
This situation is baffling; it's unclear what's going on!
"Why did you save me?" Princess Longji didn't understand why this Puppet Girl would save her. Shouldn't she have come to kill her?
Also, didn't I knock her unconscious? Why is she still able to move?
"If you die, I will be very sad and I will cry!" the Puppet Girl said softly, and then punched the nearest assassin, sending him flying.
Why are you sad? Why are you crying? Do I know you? Princess Longji was a little confused, but what puzzled her even more was that the punch thrown by the Puppet Girl in front of her had no fluctuations at all, as if it was purely made of physical strength.
However, if we're talking about the sheer power of that punch in terms of pure physical force, it's terrifying!
Furthermore, when the Puppet Girl turned around, she and everyone else noticed that the Puppet Girl's back was uninjured, but her tattered clothes told them that she had been attacked.
Why is this girl completely unharmed?
Only a few people know the answer, because this girl is a puppet, and ordinary attacks cannot harm her. It is precisely because she is a puppet that she uses her back to block.
"I'll kill you all!"
The Puppet Girl spoke coldly to the assassins and then charged forward. The assassins, unaware of the Puppet Girl's identity, treated her as an enemy and tried to surround and kill her.
At this moment, a unique battle unfolded. The Puppet Girl used pure, rapid movement to dodge the assassins' attacks, and then knocked them down one punch after another.
The Puppet Girl's fighting style was strange to everyone. She didn't use Battle Qi, but she could ignore Battle Qi and directly break through those Battle Qi techniques, bypassing the obstruction of Battle Qi to attack directly.
Could this be...?
Chapter Eight: Puppet Combat Technique
"Puppet Combat Technique?"
That's right, this is the Puppet Combat Technique. Puppetry isn't just about making a puppet for decoration; often, puppets are used in combat to protect alchemists.
Ye Lang, this Puppet Girl, not only has a perfect appearance, but also a perfect power structure. Of course, this perfect structure belongs to Ye Lang, and this is the puppet combat ability he needs.
Everyone has a different pursuit of power and a different concept of perfection. However, overall, the structure of this Puppet Girl is relatively perfect.
Ye Lang also adjusted the structure of the Puppet Girl to better suit his fighting style!
As for puppetry, not many people present knew much about it, and even less about Puppet Combat Technique. Those who did know were now certain that Lady Lei Di before them was actually an Alchemy Puppet!
"This little girl is actually a puppet? Then where is the person controlling her?" The Empress Dowager looked at the Puppet Girl with some curiosity. Not to mention now, when she was with the Puppet Girl before, there was no one else around.
The puppet's control range is limited, not exceeding 100 meters at most!
This is somewhat contradictory; it's hard to be sure if this Puppet Girl is a real puppet or a human with special martial arts skills!
Perhaps some martial arts techniques belong to this purely physical realm; the world is so vast, it's not impossible!
"Little one, what are you doing?! Are you still asleep? Why did you save her?" Cold-Blooded Seventh questioned angrily. She never expected that her mission would fail at the crucial moment, especially since it was thwarted by Ye Lang, who was also on a mission.
Not to mention her, Cold-Blooded Seventh and the Cold-Blooded Group, as well as everyone else, no one could have imagined or understood what was going on with this unexpected turn of events.
At this moment, Vermilion Bird Emperor arrived at Princess Longji's side and ordered his men to capture Prince Longguang. Strangely, Prince Longguang did not put up any resistance.
Princess Longji was protected not only by the Vermilion Bird Emperor, but also by the Empress Dowager herself, who was a hidden master, unknown to many.
At this moment, Princess Longji was safe, and she was now looking at the Puppet Girl in front of her with confusion and bewilderment.
"It's only right that I saved her, why is there a reason?" The Puppet Girl said to Cold-Blooded Seventh after killing the last member of the Cold-Blooded Group.
At this moment, Ye Lang was unaware that Cold-Blooded Seventh had also participated in the assassination attempt. Otherwise, he would certainly have been ruthless towards Cold-Blooded Seventh as well!
