The controlled swordsman's eyes were now only white, and his longsword danced out an impenetrable net of blades.
Instead of retreating, Xiao Jin advanced, the blade gliding upstream against the sword's edge, slicing off three of the puppet's fingers. But the puppet felt no pain; the severed fingers still gripped the hilt tightly.
At this moment, the dual-gun puppet suddenly appeared to Xiao Jin's left, its two modified pistols spitting fire.
The bullets collided and exploded in mid-air, turning into a fiery net that enveloped the area. Xiao Jin ripped open the door of a dilapidated refrigerator by the roadside; the metal was glowing red-hot.
"boom!"
The rocket grazed the refrigerator and exploded, the blast wave overturning three cars nearby. Xiao Jin used the momentum to smash through the display window and tumble into the convenience store, causing instant noodle seasoning packets on the shelves to fall to the ground.
She suddenly grabbed a can of chili powder and smashed it at the pursuers; the red powder exploded into a cloud of fire in the flames.
"Cough cough...that bastard!" The burly man with the rocket launcher had bloodshot eyes.
The convenience store suddenly fell silent. Xia Zhou's puppet silk silently pierced through the roller shutter door, but was severed by Shattered Shadow just before it could touch Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin's voice came from inside the shop: "I told you, get lost, your smell is too strong."
"You…" Xia Zhou's pupils constricted sharply: "I regret it. I don't want your spine; I want to keep your life so you can be tortured by me for eternity!"
At this moment, Xia Zhou no longer cared about anything else.
Despite their various methods, they still failed to kill their opponent, which was no longer a matter of losing face.
Xiao Jin kicked over the freezer, and the frozen steak slammed into the dual-gun puppet like a cannonball.
"That depends on whether you have the ability!"
The instant the bullet shattered the steak, she had already darted behind the puppet, her blade flashing past its knee joint. But the sparks flying from the metal skeleton revealed that the puppet had long been modified.
"Surprised?" Xia Zhou's fingers flew across the keyboard. "This person originally followed the path of physical enhancement."
Suddenly, the two pistols spun 180 degrees, their muzzles almost touching Xiao Jin's temples. In the nick of time, A Mo crashed through the ceiling and pounced down, slamming the puppet's head, which was wrapped around it, onto the ground.
Xiao Jin seized the opportunity to stab his spine with his knife, pulling out a chip that was sparking with electricity.
"Do you think I've been fighting for so long because I haven't found the control center?" Xiao Jin raised an eyebrow dismissively, and Xia Zhou gritted his teeth.
The remaining bronze-armored golem emitted a steam engine-like roar, its chest armor plates unfolding layer by layer to reveal a six-barreled rotary machine gun.
Xia Zhou's puppet threads wrapped around his body, and the originally cumbersome mecha suddenly became as agile as a cheetah.
"bite!"
Sparks flew as the long sword struck the puppet's neck, and Xiao Jin's hand went numb from the impact. The machine gun began to spin and preheat, and she lunged at a roadside fire hydrant. With a powerful blow from the back of her sword, a high-pressure jet of water shot into the sky.
The water crystallized around the puppet, and at the same time, Xiao Jin raised the 'Wheel of Destiny' and fired several freezing bullets at the puppet, successfully controlling it with the help of the water flow.
The moment her mech joints froze, she leaped into the air on a jet of water, her long sword piercing the gap in the rotating machine gun.
"Click!"
All six gun barrels exploded simultaneously, and thick smoke billowed from the puppet's chest cavity.
Xia Zhou's expression finally changed, and his fingers trembled rapidly as he tried to retract the puppet threads. However, he saw Xiao Jin grab the threads and swing them around, kicking him hard in the chest with the sole of his boot.
"Pfft!" Xia Zhou crashed through the shop window and fell into the jewelry store. He was only saved from serious injury by being entangled in the display case by the puppet silk. Just as he was about to get up, a long knife was pressed against his throat.
"Is that all you've got?" Xiao Jin crushed his wrist. "Tell me, who are you, and why did you try to kill me?"
Xia Zhou glanced at Ma Tao and the others beside him, a flash of annoyance crossing his eyes.
A bunch of useless trash were completely outmatched by the three clones.
'call out!'
Xiao Jin suddenly thrust his long sword forward, causing Xia Zhou's head to tilt back, and a bloody gash appeared on his neck.
"You have thirty seconds. If you don't hear what I want, you don't need to say anything!"
Xia Zhou stared into Xiao Jin's eyes. He could tell that she wasn't joking; she really meant to kill him.
"Heh~" But Xia Zhou is a madman at heart.
He suddenly burst into laughter, his body trembling slightly, completely disregarding the long knife pressed against his neck. Because of his movements, Xia Zhou sustained several more cuts to his throat.
Xiao Jin frowned slightly, but in reality, he had already decided to kill her.
"From today onwards, the Blood Wolf Guild will hunt you down at all costs," Xia Zhou said with a smile.
Xiao Jin kept replaying the words in her mind after hearing them.
Blood Wolf Guild? Do you even know them?
Seemingly noticing the confusion in her eyes, Xia Zhou laughed even more wildly, slapping the ground with his intact hand, tears streaming down his face.
"Hahaha, you don't even remember? That's...that's really interesting!!!" If Blood Wolf knew that his faction's name wasn't even worthy of being remembered by Xiao Jin, what kind of expression would he make?
"It seems you are quite ill," Xiao Jin said calmly.
Xia Zhou's broken wrist was still hanging from the twisted steel bars, and the puppet silk on the ground was soaked in blood.
Xiao Jin gripped the gleaming blade tightly, her hand exerting slight pressure. Her gaze was piercing, looking at Xia Zhou as if he were already dead.
"If this is your last wish, then I have heard it. Now, you can die!"
As Xiao Jin was about to end Xia Zhou's life, she flipped her wrist. Unexpectedly, a strange smile appeared on Xia Zhou's face. The smile was mocking and provocative, as if everything was under her control.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Jin's heart sank, and he thought to himself, "This is bad!"
She didn't have time to think, and almost instinctively swung her knife down, even activating her speed-up skill.
The sharp wind of the blade sliced through the air, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound.
However, at this critical moment, the ground suddenly began to undulate as if it were alive, and two withered, mud-covered hands suddenly emerged from the ground, grabbing Xia Zhou's ankles like ghosts and pulling him down.
Xia Zhou's figure drew a strange arc in the air, but his laughter grew more and more rampant, constantly echoing in the space sealed by the barrier.
"Hahaha, you're quite amusing. Remember this name—Xia Zhou. Sooner or later, you'll fall into my hands!"
As Xia Zhou finished speaking, his figure vanished completely into the ground, leaving behind only a series of echoing laughs and two muddy handprints on the ground that were still trembling slightly.
Xiao Jin's expression darkened. After a long while, he straightened up and narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction: "Damn it, they managed to get away."
After a while, she turned to look at the remaining Blood Wolf Guild players in the barrier.
Xia Zhou ran away, but they are still here!
At this moment, Xiao Jin's three clones were reduced to one, while Ma Tao and the others still had four.
Seeing Xia Zhou run away, Ma Tao cursed under his breath. Although they outnumbered each other, he had no confidence that he could kill Xiao Jin.
No, in fact, he wasn't even sure he could escape!
