Chapter 916 - 265: Puppet Flying Star Array

The person controlling the Puppet Flying Star Array behind them is probably the one who attacked them earlier.

Since they can control the puppets in these ruins, it’s likely they are a human who has existed for a long time, possibly predating the destruction of the Death Rift’s outpost.

"You’re human too, right? Why attack us for no reason?"

Su Changxing shouted, trying to communicate with the other party to see if his judgment was correct. He was genuinely curious as to why this person wanted to attack them.

"Intrude upon the Celestial Demon Prison, death without mercy!"

A sharp voice echoed from the void.

If that’s the case, the other party isn’t wrong; he and Shen Jinxuan did indeed enter here by other means. If Hongjun’s method was improper, then theirs was equally improper.

Su Changxing transformed into the Golden Body Ancient Buddha to protect the three of them, temporarily resisting the continuous attacks from the puppets.

The speed of the puppets had reached a certain point where each puppet could attack the Ancient Buddha’s Golden Body a hundred times per second.

The Golden Body Ancient Buddha began to show cracks at a visible rate, starting to shatter, and the puppets’ speed continued to increase.

"We entered here accidentally while trying to escape. If there’s any offense, please forgive us, senior," Su Changxing said boldly.

The opponent’s strength was unknown, and if it could be avoided, he preferred not to engage in combat, especially since this Puppet Flying Star Array alone was enough to cause him headaches.

The person seemed indifferent to Su Changxing’s words, clearly intent on using the Puppet Flight Array to kill them.

Su Changxing’s lips curled into a slight smile as he continued loudly, "Since you’re so unreasonable, I won’t be polite to you either. Do you think this flawed array is of any use against me?"

"This array is called the Puppet Flying Star Array, right."

Just in the brief time before, he had thoroughly analyzed the Puppet Flying Star Array using the Eye of Data. Though he didn’t understand its specific operating principles, he knew how to break it; merely reversing each puppet’s operational sequence could do the trick.

Of course, knowing the method to break the array wasn’t enough; sufficient power was needed to strike each puppet’s core.

A total of two hundred and sixteen bullets were required to reverse-hit each puppet’s core twelve times, with the array changing four times during the process, necessitating three rounds of reverse strikes for each change.

Throughout the process, each bullet had to be incredibly precise, not only hitting the target each time but also matching the changes in the array’s rhythm. Luckily, the array had a pattern, which lowered the difficulty significantly.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort came from the void.

Clearly, the person didn’t believe someone as young as Su Changxing could break the Puppet Flying Star Array, preferring to believe in brute force.

Su Changxing took out a handgun wrapped in tattered cloth, and the bullet frequency suddenly increased, firing in a fixed pattern at the puppets darting around. In no time, it matched the entire array’s rhythm, causing the puppets to gradually retreat.

The person controlling the array was shocked to see Su Changxing’s actions, as he was indeed breaking the array and doing it correctly.

"How is this possible!"

An angry and ashamed roar came from the void.

The formation of the Puppet Flight Array suddenly shifted, and Su Changxing’s shooting method also changed accordingly.

With the bullet shots, the darting puppets slowed down, as bullets left cracks on them, appearing as though they were about to break at any moment.

Crack crack–

The crisp sound of a puppet getting stuck.

A bullet pierced through a puppet’s body, causing it to crash to the ground while the other puppets also stopped, moving slowly, aging, and then losing power, collapsing in the ruins along with it.

The puppets were damaged, making the Puppet Flying Star Array incomplete and significantly reducing its power.

Su Changxing cracked it with just over a hundred bullets, and even if the Puppet Flying Star Array were complete, he could likely crack it.

The void was silent for a moment before saying, "Since you have such strength, I won’t stand in your way."

Su Changxing didn’t expect the opponent to let them leave so generously, feeling that it seemed a bit too easy.

Sean blinked and shouted loudly, "Can I leave too?"

"..."

No one answered.

"If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as consent!" He shouted again.

Still no sound.

Su Changxing exhaled a sigh of relief and said, "Let’s go!"

The reason he spoke nonsense with the other party just now was because he sensed no killing intent in the Puppet Flying Star Array; it seemed more like probing.

They kept walking until the end.

"Is that a demon?" Shen Jinxuan saw a figure wandering in the ruins, leaving behind a trail of bloody footprints, wearing dark red armor and holding a long spear.

Just from its aura, it was clear that it was a demon, a Celestial Calamity Demon.

This celestial calamity demon seemed special, maintaining a humanoid form, which appeared relatively rare. Luo Haodong didn’t count as humanoid, with only one eye and an extremely large size.

On the contrary, many low-tier demons maintain shapes similar to humans.

As they got closer, the armored demon stopped, turning its back to them, with bright red blood flowing on its armor, dripping, the smell of blood heavy even from far away.

"How do you foresee the future?"

The demon raised its head, revealing two completely different faces, one male and one female, in a hoarse and low voice.

Su Changxing realized the demon’s strength beyond ordinary, told Shen Jinxuan and the others, "You two back off first, I’ll deal with it before you come over."

Such cases as Luo Haodong were extremely rare, practically impossible.

Su Changxing didn’t think the demon before him would be the same case and didn’t answer the demon’s words. He shot a bullet that exploded the demon’s chest, revealing a large hole.

The wound didn’t affect the demon in the slightest, continuing to stand there repeating its earlier words while slowly raising the long spear in its hand.

"How do you foresee the future!"

The demon repeated louder.

Su Changxing shot another bullet to interrupt its left leg, yet the demon continued to stand in place, holding the spear high, its aura growing stronger.

Witnessing this, he had a bad premonition and shot over ten bullets, knocking the demon apart, but it still stood there, holding the spear aloft.

"How do you foresee the future!"

The voice grew louder, more exhilarating.

Su Changxing suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his chest, as a long spear pierced through it, not knowing when the demon appeared before him.

The two faces were exceptionally clear, showing different expressions, one angry, one sad.

"Seen is also seen." Su Changxing said with a light smile, while unfolding the Pocket Galaxy space, preparing to pull the demon into the Pocket Galaxy.

No matter how strong this Celestial Calamity Demon could be, once drawn into the Pocket Galaxy, it was at his mercy.

This tactic was always reliable.

However, before Su Changxing opened the space, the demon reappeared in its original position, holding the spear aloft, blood dripping with Su Changxing’s fresh blood.

Su Changxing showed a surprised expression, wondering if the demon dodged coincidentally or actively.

This time.

He didn’t wait anymore, but proactively attacked, charging toward the demon as the chest wound healed visibly fast, completely healing before even taking two steps.

Unexpectedly, the demon retreated as Su Changxing charged.

"How do you foresee the future!"

The demon raised the spear again, the red tassel fluttering in the air.

Su Changxing’s speed was faster than the demon’s, but not by much, as the distance between them gradually closed.

"How do you foresee the future!!"

The demon reappeared before him, but this time, he had foreseen its attack and unfurled the Pocket Galaxy space, awaiting its advance like a giant spider web.
