Academy City's Puppet Master

The enemy's weapon is very long, so this knife failed to cut the enemy's body.

Earth Fang's saber guard remained undiminished, so he took a step forward and connected a reverse cassock.

Zhishui took a quick step back to avoid the slash.

At the same time, he swept away the remaining metal stick in his hand, setting off a wind wall.

But Tu Fanghu became more and more courageous in the battle, and missed a single blow, and immediately took another step forward and swung his knife to cut left!

As for the oncoming wind pressure, it actively bypassed him like flowing water hitting a rock, and separated to both sides.

After all, Tufanghu is not a simple blind swordsman, he is also a powerful person - the "wave disturbance" of level 4.

"It's hit!" From the touch from the tip of the knife, and the smell of blood in the air, Hijikata knew that his attack had worked.

The water behind couldn't hide his surprise.

"People from Ling Xingye? A very powerful swordsman." He raised the metal stick and swept it out again, creating even greater wind pressure.

Attack again with the same move, but the output and momentum are completely different.

"But that's all. I'll look for it if it's spare, so you will be the first one!"

Earthwork guard swung his knife to slash at the oncoming wind pressure—using "wave disturbance", he could slash the wind.

But this time, the moment the blade touched the wind pressure, the face of the earth guard suddenly changed.

It's not like wind and air currents at all, but more like a solid wall, or a high-speed train!

He couldn't help opening his eyes, and saw a wall of white air that was almost condensed into substance in front of him.

Immediately, the knife broke, and the earth guard flew out backwards.

wow...

His body was like a small stone that was kicked away, flying all the way to the end of the street, crashing into the abandoned shops, and falling into ruins.

"You are very powerful, but you are not enough to let me use other moves." Back Zhishui strode forward, while reaching out to stroke the knife mark on his chest.

Wipe off the blood, the wound has healed and disappeared.

"Foul..." Tufanghu said bitterly, he couldn't even leave scars on the enemy with his three strikes with all his strength, "What monster is Xingye fighting with?"

At this time, Tufanghu deeply understood the gap in strength between himself and the water behind - there was a huge gap between the two.

But after thinking about it, it's normal.

If it was an ordinary enemy, it would be impossible for Ling Xingye to be so embarrassed, right?

"You may be able to cut through the wind, but you cannot cut through the water."

The water in the back is entangled with the current, and every time you take a step, your momentum will increase.

His speed is not fast, but it is as unstoppable as a landslide and tsunami, making people desperate.

"You must have made up your mind, right?" Zhishui behind raised the metal stick.

"Damn it!" Tu Fanghu struggled to stand up and raised his hand to break the knife.

The blow just now was so powerful that he was seriously injured and lost the strength to escape.

So I can only do one last fight!The earthwork guard gripped the handle of the knife tightly.

The Water of the Back is merciless, and his kindness will only be reserved for the miserable "weak".For the strong and the enemy, it is respect to do your best.

The metal rod fell.

At this time, a black shadow flew over from the end of the street.

Zhishui raised his brows, adjusted his attack trajectory immediately, and swung the metal stick behind him.

Boom!

The heavy metal rod was bounced high, and the door behind Zhishui opened wide for a moment, and the black shadow crashed into its arms.

This time, it was the turn of the water behind to fly out.

Seeing the twists and turns in front of him, Tufang guard heaved a sigh of relief, and leaned against the wall, laughing and cursing.

"Bastard, it's too late!"

"It's not too late, I see you are still alive and kicking." Ling Xingye appeared next to him immediately, "But... thank you. Leave the rest to me!"

===Chapter 67 Fighting the Water in the Back===

Ling Xingye let out a long sigh of relief, and began to calm down his shortness of breath due to high-speed running.

Seeing that although Hu Fang was very miserable, he was still able to joke around, Ling Xingye finally let go of his heart that had been hanging around.

Knowing the threat of the water behind, Ling Xingye became more and more restless in the last hour, unable to practice quietly at all.

He has been able to manipulate the clown proficiently. If he performs on stage, he is actually not much different from a sprite.But if it is used for fighting, it is still missing the most critical step.

——Turn this "proficiency" into "instinct", which is similar to muscle memory, or something like "movement".

Each puppeteer has its own secret skills and tricks. For Ling Xingye, it is a complex mechanism composed of silk threads and "phase fulcrums".

This set of "operating system" built by Ling Xingye with his own unique method.You can directly skip the part of thinking and reacting, and directly turn your thoughts into puppet actions...

It was this part that Ling Xingye couldn't complete.

At the last moment, Hitomi Shiranui came to help, using the ability of "memory construction" to replace the original operating system with the new "operating system" compiled by Ling Xingye.

The price is to forget the manipulative experience of sprites, in exchange for the minimum development of combat effectiveness against clowns.

If there is enough time, Ling Xingye will never use this evil shortcut.But the development of the current situation will not give him too much time to hesitate.

What Ling Xingye is most worried about is that the rear water will anger other unrelated people.He absolutely cannot accept that someone is injured or killed for his own reasons.

Therefore, just after completing the "memory construction", Ling Xingye rushed out without even having time to familiarize himself with the feel of the hand.

——Let’s perfect the rest in actual combat!

The whereabouts of the water in the rear has always been under the surveillance of Amakusa and the members of the "group", so Ling Xingye took the clown and went straight to the enemy.

Fortunately, the earth guard blocked the rear water, so that he had no chance to attack the underground command center and hurt others.

Moreover, due to Tu Fanghu's own excellent strength, he also managed to survive from the enemy's hands and lasted until Ling Xingye arrived.

Ling Xingye felt at ease about this - this was almost the best result... although the enemy was still not defeated.

"Then I'll leave first." Tu Fanghu pressed his chest and stood up, "Xingye, are you ready?"

"It's never possible to be fully prepared," Ling Xingye shook his head, "That's it."

During the conversation, the water behind has returned to the battlefield.

Ling Xingye stopped talking and concentrated on the clown in front of him.

At this time, the clown has changed his appearance. He is wearing a full suit and is well-dressed. At first glance, he looks like an ordinary person.

But combined with its performance of knocking the water from behind just now, under the gentle appearance is the "heart" of a thug in a suit.

Ling Xingye raised his hands, his fingers spread slightly, and silk threads stretched out along the fingertips, sinking into the air in front of him, making it hard to see clearly.

The performance of the clown is very powerful, and Ling Xingye must concentrate all his attention to keep up with the manipulation, otherwise, if he is not careful, he will become the "car accident scene" of the previous rampage.

Being beaten into the air seemed to have aroused the fighting spirit of the water in the back. He walked forward step by step, his aura could not be majestic, like a ghost.

"You really dare to come, Ling Xingye! I underestimated you." Zhishui behind said in a deep voice.

"I'm here." Ling Xingye manipulated the clown to move forward, "It's you, who didn't stay on the battlefield, thought you had escaped."

"Since that's the case," Rear Water casually threw away the half metal stick, "Then let's officially begin—our duel!"

He grabbed the lamppost beside him, exerted all his strength, and pulled it out.

call!call!

The six-meter-long light pole is like a straw in his hands, and it is easily waved, tearing the air from time to time.

A stream of streams wraps around the light pole, outlining intricate patterns and runes on its surface.

The water in the back was strengthened by magic, which temporarily gave the light pole a quality and toughness no less than that of a metal stick.

After the preparations were completed, the backwater stick fell down and hit the clown without fancy.

when!

The clown didn't dodge or dodge, and raised his hand to take the blow.

The ground crumbled beneath his feet, but the Harlequin himself was unharmed, the gears in his chest turning smoothly.

Seeing this scene in the rear, Ling Xingye felt confident.

Among other things, the material and body structure of the new puppet clown are indeed strong enough.

——Enough is enough, this battle will be fought!

Ling Xingye's eyes lit up, although he was still elusive, but he did see a chance of victory!

Confirmed by the actual fight, Ling Xingye has a certain grasp of the clown and his own strength.

Then, he moved.

Ten fingers fluttered, and both hands pulled back vigorously.

At the same time, as if pressing the accelerator button, the clown turned into an afterimage in an instant, appeared in front of Zhishui behind, and stabbed forward with a hand knife.

The clown was not equipped with a weapon, but when it raised its hand, a layer of mercury-like substance wrapped its palm, and then became hard and sharp, like a sharp blade.

Faced with such a surprise attack, the water behind remained calm, using the end of the light pole to bounce off the hand knife to attack.

The other hand of the clown made a fist and hit his side, but it was also blocked by the water behind him.

With fists and palms intertwined, Rear Water's expression suddenly changed—the strength of Harlequin's punch exceeded his expectations.

It seemed like an ordinary punch, but it was full of stamina, and it kept coming like a tide, unstoppable.

Although it was blocked, this punch still slightly lifted the water behind him into the air.

The hand knife just now was a feint, the real key is this punch!

The water behind realized it instantly.
