The shattering of the puppet's Black Puppet head had a profound impact on Ma Xianhong's psyche.
Fortunately, the core of the Black Puppet is not its head.
Just as Ma Xianhong was feeling relieved and was about to send the Black Puppet away, Xiao Tian suddenly unleashed a dragon-like tail sweep.
In short, it was the Backspinning Split Whip. Utilizing the potential energy impact generated by the sudden rotation, combined with the power of the surging magic, it made Xiao Tian's legs, whose skin, muscles, and bones were even more terrifying than alloy, resemble a divine sword or demonic blade, severing the Black Puppet in half.
The puppet 'Black Puppet scattered like tiny sparks, the wounds on the upper and lower parts were relatively smooth, and they emitted a dazzling Kakkō.
"Damn it!" Ma Xianhong's eyes were bloodshot with rage, but now he couldn't retrieve the Black Puppet.
The Black Puppet, having lost its ability to move, was transferred by Xiao Tian into the Kamui Dimension like trash, to be used as a material reserve for the later crafting of other objects by the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements.
" Brother Little Ma, wanna have a leg-sparring match?"
Ma Xianhong's face was gloomy, his eyes were bloodshot, and his anger was palpable.
" Xiao Zhan, is this really how it is? Have we really reached this point of no return?"
" Brother Little Ma, do you think I'm stupid? You revealed your murderous intent before, you were even going to kill my brother. What's wrong with me taking you in as a puppet? It's not like she's your wife." Xiao Tian pouted, clearly dissatisfied.
" Xiao Zhan! Let's see if your Yang Spirit is stronger, or if the new abilities of the Black Battle Armor are more terrifying!"
Ma Xianhong snorted coldly, and the eerie black and red light on his hands and feet emitted a deep purple hue. The three colors merged, making Ma Xianhong even more evil and demonic, as if he were a ghost messenger who had come to earth from the Underworld, his whole body surrounded by a hellish flame that seemed capable of scorching the soul.
"Wow, this thing actually upgraded!" Xiao Tian exclaimed in surprise. Based on the situation in the original timeline, he knew that Ma Xianhong's Black Battle Armor couldn't possibly have such an effect.
Ma Xianhong flashed in front of Xiao Tian like a carousel, his scorching dark purple-red flames distorting the air, as if trying to burn open a mysterious gate to another dimension. His fierce punch was unrestrained, aimed straight at Xiao Tianxin.
" Brother Little Ma, you still know too little about the Great Luo Cave Observation."
Xiao Tian's expression was playful as he Kamui Intangibility, while Ma Xianhong's angry punch landed on thin air. The two seemed to be from two parallel worlds, brushing past each other without interfering with one another.
Ma Xianhong's face was gloomy, feeling very frustrated by Xiao Tian's Great Luo Cave Observation ability.
" Xiao Zhan, do you intend to remain a tortoise with this kind of ability forever?!"
"What, you're allowed to wear a flaming turtle shell, but I'm not allowed to dodge? Why don't you take off your magic armor?" Xiao Tian chuckled and raised his middle finger.
Ma Xianhong was unable to refute what was being said for a while.
Ma Xianhong was caught in a dilemma, unable to attack Xiao Tian or escape. The situation couldn't be worse for him.
Xiao Tian dragged Ma Xianhong along as if it were a game, while at the same time, the battle between the strong in their village and Biyou Village, involving Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, and Xiao Zizai, was also nearing its end.
"I never expected you to be such a trash beast tamer." Qiu Rang, a fervent fan of Ma Xianhong and a Qiu Rang of the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, scoffed at the temporary worker Old Meng.
"I thought you used some kind of method to repel my killer bees, but it turns out it's just because you're a beast tamer, hahaha! Times have changed, beast taming is just a piece of trash these days!" Qiu Rang sneered.
Old Meng adjusted his glasses, a glint of wisdom flashing in his eyes.
Do you really think beast tamers are weak?
"Not weak? There are so many protected animals these days, what use are beast tamers in this country? Hahaha! Unless you break the law and take down all those animals in the zoo!" Qiu Rang sneered.
"You truly know nothing about Beastmasters. Perhaps in ancient times, due to the mystery surrounding many animals, the secrets of Beastmasters were primarily passed down within a single family or lineage. But in today's technologically advanced society, the habits of many once-mysterious animals have been thoroughly studied. In my opinion, this is the best era for Beastmasters!"
"The best of times? Then let Laozi see what you're capable of!" Qiu Rang laughed wildly.
"Young people are so arrogant and ignorant. Don't you feel anything wrong with your body?"
"What?" Qiu Rang's expression changed, and he suddenly felt discomfort in his internal organs and an indescribable unease in his body.
Old Meng, his glasses reflecting the light, stood with his hands behind his back and explained, "I created a school of thought that belongs to me alone. Most living beings can be communicated with through Qi. The higher the intelligence, the more difficult the communication becomes... And the limit of my communication has already been broken down to prokaryotes and bacteria. So, the moment my Qi touches your body, you've already lost."
Qiu Rang felt a pounding in his heart, as if a giant hand was squeezing it from the inside. The world around him turned black and white, and time seemed to stand still.
Qiu Rang gasped for breath, feeling like a drowning person, having lost control of his body, his consciousness as if locked in Little Black.
"It's over." Old Meng sighed as he looked at Qiu Rang, who had collapsed and was unable to resist.
Unable to find Ma Xianhong, Zhang Chulan reunited with Feng Baobao and easily defeated Zhang Kun, Terrain Immortal who could burrow underground, and Fu Rong, whose sword energy was astonishing.
The matter with Wang Zhenqiu was also resolved quickly. Since the goal was to capture them alive, the Liaodong wild man Jin Meng and Guo Liang were not killed.
"Has everyone dealt with it? Spread out and search for Xia Ma Xianhong. If you find any trace of him, report it immediately." Zhang Chulan sent a message to the WeChat group chat.
At this moment, Erzhuang, Er Zhuang temporary worker from the Peking University region who loves to act cute and post adorable emojis, posted a topographical map, marking the locations of Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, and other temporary workers, as well as the location of Ma Xianhong.
"This!" Zhang Chulan couldn't help but look up, his lips twitching, wondering if Er Zhuang had used satellite surveillance.
But how did they determine the location so precisely, given the dense forest here?
Er Zhuang: "Due to special circumstances, I can't fight alongside you all, so I can only give you Ma Xianhong's location. However, it seems Ma Xianhong is currently being held back, so I hope you'll head over there as soon as possible."
On the other side, Black Pipe, a temporary worker from the Central China region who had defeated Genghis Khan, a descendant of Har Chagai's golden bloodline, curiously inquired about Er Zhuang's abilities and analyzed them.
"Are you some kind of super hacker?"
Er Zhuang: "No, that's not true. I'll tell you when I have the chance, QAQ."
Xiao Zizai: "I've taken care of things here, so I'll go take a look."
In an instant, Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, and the others surrounded the northern forest from the southeast and west.
At the same time, Ma Xianhong was extremely irritable and frustrated.
Xiao Tian is too difficult to deal with; instead of harming him, I keep getting hurt.
" Xiao Zhan! Fight me like a man! Don't betray your name!" Ma Xianhong roared.
Xiao Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes, speechless. "I told you, my job is just to hold you off."
Ma Xianhong angrily said, "What good will it do you to have me detained by the company? I don't believe they aren't greedy for the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements. If you get the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, aren't you afraid I'll spill the beans and expose you?"
"Whatever, I have powerful connections. If you get caught, I'll be the one exposed first, sharing everything. I'll be fine, and in fact, I'll be highly rewarded and have my secrets kept. And you? You're destined to be... hehehehe!"
Xiao Tian's wicked laughter enraged Ma Xianhong, causing his face to flush red and spit out a mouthful of blood. His complexion immediately became weak and listless.
"Oh no! Don't! Calm down. If you die like this, it would be such a waste of your life."
" Xiao Zhan!" Ma Xianhong gritted his teeth, furious, and spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Ding! Ma Xianhong's hatred for the Heavenly Dao Inheritor has reached an unparalleled level! The achievement of turning against his brothers and turning to the dark side has been completed! Achievement Points *9! Unlocking progress 58%!"
Xiao Tian was stunned. This actually works?
"Even if I die, I will not let myself be taken away by the company! Xiao Zhan! You cannot stop me!"
With bloodshot eyes and flames that seemed to materialize, Ma Xianhong turned around with lightning speed.
"You can't run away..." Xiao Tian was about to make a sarcastic remark when he suddenly sensed something.
"Damn it! Who touched my body?!"
Xiao Tian opened the world map in his mind, quickly locked onto the coordinates of his physical body, and used his unsealed and activated talent ability: Teleport.
After five seconds of guidance, the spirit vanished with a whoosh, a faint white light flashed, and it returned.
As his spirit and flesh merged, Xiao Tian moved his limbs and realized that his beautiful subordinate, Guihua, was performing CPR on him.
That is, you press your palm against your heart and pound it hard with your fists, even if it breaks your ribs, in an attempt to stimulate your heart to beat.
"Damn it! Are you kidding me!" Xiao Tian's face darkened.
" Brother Xiao, you're finally awake! You almost passed out." Guihua of relief.
"Hahaha, Brother Tian, you should really thank your sister-in-law. If it weren't for her help, you'd be dead." Zhang Chulan cast a teasing glance his way.
It turned out that Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao found Xiao Tian sleeping soundly like a dead man, with his head resting on the thigh of the beautiful puppet Xiao Wanwan, on their way to the location given by Er Zhuang. No matter how they called him, he did not respond.
Zhang Chulan knew that Xiao Tian could not possibly have passed out in his sleep, and figured that he might Yang Spirit Projection. So, in order to be a good Yue Lao, he stirred things up and encouraged Guihua to perform CPR on Xiao Tian.
"Damn it! Old Zhang, I want to kick you!"
Zhang Chulan grinned wickedly without any politeness, left a sentence, grabbed Feng Baobao's hand and slipped away, feeling very pleased. He had finally found an opportunity to trick Xiao Tian.
"We need to go after Brother Ma now. Brother Tian, get some rest, don't let your wife worry."
As Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao left, Guihua realized she had been tricked.
" Brother Xiao, I..."
"Oh, it's alright, let's go see a good show."
"Hmm." Guihua thought that Xiao Tian might have just Yang Spirit Projection.
It's just Yang Spirit that's been summoned, so why can't she see it?
At the same time, Ma Xianhong was puzzled. Why hadn't Xiao Tian stopped chasing?
Something unusual must be going on. The extremely vigilant Ma Xianhong paused, alert to his surroundings. He even summoned several puppets Ruhua Ruhua and, in a race against time, made up one of them to resemble himself, hoping to launch a sneak attack on Xiao Tian.
However, five minutes passed, and Ma Xianhong still hadn't seen Xiao Tian appear, which made him a little uneasy.
"Damn it! He kept his Yang Spirit separated from his body for so long, and he fought me at a high intensity. He probably needs to return to his body, otherwise he might die. So, have I been tricked?"
