Chapter 453 - 452: Puppet Control Technique

Chapter 453: Chapter 452: Puppet Control Technique

It was indeed bizarre; it clearly was Mo Changfeng, even his aura was that of Mo Changfeng’s, yet when pushed by that young girl, he exploded into a net.

Was it really Mo Changfeng?

What kind of technique was this, neither Lin Hao nor Ziyue could tell.

"Let’s go check it out!"

Ever since entering Resurrection Island, Lin Hao had seen too many things that he could not discern the true from the false; this technique was simply astounding. Perhaps, it was because Lin Hao’s cultivation was not sufficient, and the things here might all come from the highest Eternal Life Realm.

The unknown is always full of danger. The five fools had already chased after the young girl and disappeared into the jungle, and Lin Hao had no choice but to follow them in.

The forest was sparse, and apart from feeling particularly cold upon entering, there was nothing special about it.

"There!"

Not long after entering the forest, Ziyue spotted Mo Changfeng. Lin Hao followed her voice and saw Mo Changfeng lying on the grass under a big tree ahead, holding a Treasure Sword, motionless.

As for the young girl and the five fools, they had rushed deep into the jungle and were nowhere to be seen.

Lin Hao didn’t care about the life or death of those five fools, but he couldn’t ignore Mo Changfeng. He looked around; there didn’t seem to be any danger in the forest, so he walked toward Mo Changfeng.

"Mo Changfeng!"

He called out from a distance, but there was no response. After a moment of thought, Lin Hao realized that Mo must have been poisoned by the smoke exhaled by that girl earlier. Fortunately, he was just poisoned and not dead, and Lin Hao could still sense Mo Changfeng’s breathing, so he stepped forward.

"I’m fine."

Just as he approached, Mo Changfeng touched his forehead, sat up from the ground, and said with a weak voice, "I’m fine."

"What happened?" Although Lin Hao had a rough idea, he still asked as he walked over.

"What happened..." Mo Changfeng was stunned for a moment, raised his head to look at Lin Hao, and those eyes were still empty and lifeless!

Something was wrong! Lin Hao suddenly stopped, sensing bad vibes. But as soon as he stopped, Mo Changfeng suddenly grabbed the Treasure Sword and slashed at Lin Hao.

The sword was fast, carrying the whistling sound of Primordial Qi breaking through the sky, slashing directly towards Lin Hao’s head!

"Mo Changfeng, what are you doing, don’t you recognize me?" Lin Hao deftly dodged Mo Changfeng’s attack, feeling more bewildered.

Mo Changfeng was attacking him?

After missing with the first slash, Mo Changfeng did not stop; his figure paused, and then he slashed at Lin Hao again, his voice becoming colder, "I’m going to kill you!"

Mo Changfeng wanted to kill Lin Hao?

Ziyue and Poison Rose, who followed behind, were dumbfounded by the eerie scene before them. Yet they couldn’t discern any abnormalities and just saw Mo Changfeng chopping at Lin Hao repeatedly, while Lin Hao didn’t fight back and was merely dodging, narrowly missing several of Mo’s swings.

"Looking for death!" This time, Ziyue was furious.

She and Mo Changfeng were not close, and she didn’t share an experience with Mo Changfeng like Lin Hao did. She drew her long sword and charged forward.

Meanwhile, Lin Hao also found it strange; Mo Changfeng’s condition was peculiar. His eyes were dull, his breathing was even, he clearly looked like he was sleeping, but he kept launching attacks.

Yet, Lin Hao noticed that Mo Changfeng’s attack movements were very strange, as if he didn’t want to move but was being controlled by someone.

What was going on? Lin Hao was increasingly puzzled, and at this moment, Ziyue also rushed up, and without a word, she struck Mo Changfeng in the chest with her palm.

"Pfft!"

At that moment, Mo Changfeng was struck by a palm that made him spit blood, and his body flew backward, crashing into a large tree behind him.

"Don’t move!" Lin Hao saw this and thought it was unbelievable. When Ziyue struck that palm, Mo Changfeng had completely failed to form any Primordial Qi defense. If Ziyue had been slightly heavier with her hand, Mo Changfeng might have been killed.

"Strange..."

Even Ziyue was puzzled at this.

Just then, Mo Changfeng, who had just been struck to spit blood and had fallen against the tree, eerily stood up again and tightly gripped the knife in his hand.

That pose... A light flashed through Lin Hao’s mind; the pose was exactly as if Mo Changfeng’s limbs were being held up by some invisible force.

Puppet Control Technique!

These three words suddenly popped into Lin Hao’s mind.

This was neither a common combat skill on Earth nor an Upper Realm Battle Technique. It was a technique so advanced that both Lin Hao and Ziyue couldn’t perceive it; such skills only existed in the Longevity Realm or the Eternal Life Realm.

Moreover, Lin Hao had encountered it in his past life. However, the Puppet Control Technique used then had some objects attached to the puppet. Lin Hao hadn’t noticed anything attached to Mo Changfeng just now, so he hadn’t thought of the Puppet Control Technique.

Now it seemed that Lin Hao’s cultivation was far too inferior to detect the items used for puppet control. However, since Lin Hao now knew what was happening, not being able to see the puppeting items didn’t matter much anymore.

"Let me handle this!"

With a low roar, Lin Hao dashed forward like a seven-star comet, his figure flickering as he charged directly towards Mo Changfeng.

As for Mo Changfeng, with blood on his lips and making no attempt to wipe it away, he swung the Treasure Sword and slashed at Lin Hao once again.

Closer, closer! Lin Hao showed no intention of dodging. As Mo Changfeng’s sword descended, Lin Hao reached out to grab the blade. Poison Rose, watching from behind, was extremely nervous, fearing that Lin Hao’s hand would be injured by the blade.

However...

"Rivers and mountains change hands!"

With a long cry, the sword that had just been in Mo Changfeng’s hand was easily snatched by Lin Hao. At the same time, with the sword in his grip, a cold flash appeared in Lin Hao’s eyes as he counter-attacked with a backhanded slash towards the top of Mo Changfeng’s head.

"Whoosh!"

The blade’s light flashed, and though there appeared to be nothing above Mo Changfeng’s head, Lin Hao felt that the Treasure Sword had cut through something.

"Ahh!"

Immediately after, Mo Changfeng screamed in agony, his body collapsing to the ground, limp.

Lin Hao circulated his Primordial Qi and lifted the Treasure Sword, finally seeing countless nearly transparent thin threads wrapped around Mo Changfeng’s body!

"What happened to me? Big brother, why do you have my sword... Ugh... my chest hurts, as if someone has hit me with a palm." At this moment, Mo Changfeng finally returned to normal, but he was unaware of what had just occurred. Before he could finish speaking, he spat out a mouthful of turbid blood... struck by Ziyue’s palm...

"It’s nothing." Lin Hao pulled Mo Changfeng behind him, then raised his head and coldly stated, "Your magic has been undone by me. Come out; hiding and sneaking around, do you think you can remain hidden?"

Above, dense foliage covered the trees, and though it seemed empty, Lin Hao spoke to the sky. Both Mo Changfeng and Ziyue, puzzled, also looked up towards the treetops.

And with that glance, they noticed a slender figure appearing among the thick leaves of the forest. A chill wind blew, bringing with it an enticing fragrance from above.

A voice, soft and bone-melting, followed, "Giggle, giggle, handsome boy, I wanted to play with you for a bit longer, but you are so unromantic. Well, well, it’s been half a month since I last ate a human. You guys, hurry up and wash up, wait for big sister to come and enjoy."
