Chapter 257: Puppet Skill
Peng Villa wasn’t far from Li Tao’s family villa, but it was closer to the mountains.
The two of them appeared in a forest.
Chu Luo sensed her surroundings and said to Li Yan, “There’s someone in the manor who knows puppetry.”
She continued, “Looks like they want to bring me here and turn me into a puppet.”
The moment she finished speaking, she felt an even stronger murderous aura emanating from Li Yan.
Li Yan grabbed her hand and quickly pressed on the communicator in his ear. He said in a low voice, “Bring people to the Peng family’s villa immediately.”
After saying that, he said to Chu Luo, “Let’s go meet the people in the villa first.”
Chu Luo nodded.
Li Yan held her hand and walked towards the back door of the villa.
It was around eight o’clock in the evening, and many people had come here for a holiday during the National Day holiday. Several spots in the villa were very lively.
Chu Luo could sense someone with special abilities and told Li Yan where that person was.
Compared to the Li family’s villa, which had retained its original simplicity, the Peng family’s villa exuded opulence. The originally ancient-looking architecture had been forcibly transformed into the style of a resplendent and dazzling palace’s inner courtyard.
The two of them quietly entered the villa and walked along a meandering path with golden pillars. After turning a corner, they arrived at a lively courtyard.
The lively voices came from the middle room in the courtyard. There were loud dirty jokes, the sound of wine glasses clinking, and all kinds of bootlicking.
At this moment, a loud voice said, “I heard that Li Yan’s shadow is especially capable. Moreover, he’s a machine that kills people without blinking. Say, such a person actually dared to snatch Li Yan’s woman. Does a person like him know how to dote on women? Haha…”
A pretentious female voice answered, “Aren’t men all self-taught in this area? Besides, Master Li is always in a wheelchair. Who knows if that thing of his can still be used? It would be strange if that woman didn’t run away with his subordinate.”
These words immediately elicited laughter.
“Hahahaha…”
Chu Luo turned her head and looked at the man whose eyes were filled with killing intent. She said, “I’ll deal with that person later.”
Li Yan replied in a low voice, “I’ll do the rest.”
After saying that, the two of them walked towards the door.
The group of people was still talking about this topic, and they were becoming more and more enthusiastic.
In this room, there was a young man who didn’t fit in with them.
The young man exuded the aura of an expert and was currently closing his eyes.
No one dared to disturb him.
At this moment, the young man suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight.
The group of people had been intentionally or unintentionally paying attention to the young man. Seeing him sit up straight, they stopped talking at the same time and asked anxiously, “Master Shen, what happened?”
Shen Qingyun didn’t answer this person. Instead, he moved his finger and a suitcase beside him opened automatically. A puppet doll floated out.
Shen Qingyun said to the puppet doll, “Go out and see if that woman has been brought over.”
The puppet doll was the size of a baby. Her body floated in midair. The moment Shen Qingyun spoke, she floated to the door.
Someone was afraid that she couldn’t go out and wanted to open the door for her. However, before they could do anything, the puppet doll disappeared.
That person jumped in fright.
The others looked at Shen Qingyun with reverence in their eyes.
“Master is indeed a master. The doll that he made is too magical.”
Shen Qingyun glanced at the bootlicking man with a proud expression. It was obvious that he looked down on everyone here.
No one present was angry. Instead, they felt that a master should be like this.
The others prepared to continue sucking up to him, but at this moment, a loud bang came from the door. The entire door was kicked in from outside.
The heavy door flew towards a few people sitting in front.
Before these people could react, their bodies were slammed into the wall by a powerful force.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
“Ouch~~”
“Who?”
“Who dares to be impudent here!”
Everyone came back to their senses and immediately stood up to look towards the doorway.
However, they were stunned by the murderous aura emanating from the person standing outside the door.
After a few seconds.
“Ah…”
A woman screamed and fell to the ground in fright.
At this moment, a cold sneer came from their side. “Pfft… It’s just an ordinary person, but he’s already scaring you like this. How weak.”
Only then did everyone snap back to their senses. They couldn’t allow themselves to be looked down upon by Master. For the sake of face, they quickly went to get their weapons.
Shen Qingyun raised his finger and was about to command his puppet doll when he realized that the puppet doll had lost contact with him.
Shen Qingyun’s heart sank. He quickly mobilized the other puppet dolls in the suitcase. “Surround him.”
The puppet dolls quickly flew towards Li Yan.
However, when they flew in front of Li Yan, they were stopped by a force.
Shen Qingyun finally realized that something was wrong and quickly walked out of the fighting circle.
Chu Luo stood in the courtyard, holding a puppet doll that had flown out. She was swinging the doll around in boredom.
When Shen Qingyun saw the doll in her hand, anger flashed across his face. “How dare you grab my doll.”
Chu Luo looked up at him and smiled faintly. “This thing is so weak that it hit me directly.”
When Shen Qingyun heard this, his expression darkened. “Who exactly are you?”
“You want to control me rashly when you don’t know my background? You will only end up with one outcome.”
At this point, Chu Luo threw the doll in her hand at him.
Shen Qingyun looked at the doll flying over, intending to control her to continue dealing with Chu Luo.
At the same time, he activated the other dolls.
“No matter who you are, since you’ve landed in my hands today, you can only become my puppet.”
“Then try it.”
As soon as Chu Luo finished speaking, a strong gust of wind blew around them. Amid the wind, the other dolls attacked Chu Luo, but the doll that Chu Luo had thrown out flew straight towards Shen Qingyun.
Shen Qingyun didn’t expect his puppet doll to be controlled by someone else one day. Fury quickly flashed across his eyes. A flame appeared in his hand and burned the doll to death.
The puppet doll suddenly seemed to be alive when it was burned and let out a scream of pain.
“You’re really ruthless. You actually destroyed the puppet doll you created just like that,” Chu Luo mocked.
“Hmph! It’s already been controlled. Why should I keep it?”
“Really? Then you can destroy all of them.”
After Chu Luo finished speaking, those dolls turned around and all flew towards Shen Qingyun.
Shen Qingyun’s pupils constricted and his expression changed drastically. “You actually controlled all my puppet dolls.”
After saying that, he really destroyed those dolls.
Cries of pain came from the dolls at the same time, sounding especially terrifying.
Chu Luo looked at Shen Qingyun coldly.
Shen Qingyun also looked at her with those sinister eyes. The corners of his lips curled up into a cold smile. “Do you think I can’t do anything to you just because you can control my dolls?”
After saying that, he quickly took out a harmonica and blew on it.
He planned to control the tourists in the villa to deal with Chu Luo.
Chu Luo quietly watched him play the harmonica. She slowly took out a talisman from her Heaven-and-Earth pouch and used her internal energy to slap it on the wall of the courtyard beside her. The entire courtyard was enveloped by a barrier.
“Then let’s see which is better at puppet techniques and charms.”
Shen Qingyun whistled as hard as he could. His sound couldn’t be transmitted at all.
After a while, he finally realized that something was wrong. He immediately changed the tune and prepared to control everyone in the room.
When he turned around, he was so shocked that the harmonica in his hand almost fell to the ground.
There was only one person standing in the room.
The mask on his face exuded a cold aura. Below his feet, everyone was lying in a pool of blood. It was impossible to tell if they were dead or alive.
“You actually killed all of them?” Shen Qingyun’s expression changed a few times. In the end, he revealed a sinister smile. “It’s good that you killed them. That way, I won’t have to make my own move.”
With that, he put the harmonica to his lips and was about to play it.
Li Yan stared at him and threw the dagger in his hand.
Hu…
“Pfft…”
Shen Qingyun looked at the dagger that had been embedded into his waist and couldn’t believe that he had been stabbed by an ordinary person so easily.
Chu Luo stood there and watched the show. “So, the more nonsense you spout, the faster you die.”
She then looked at Li Yan, who had exited, and walked up to Shen Qingyun, who was swaying and about to fall. She tapped his acupoints and asked, “Who asked you to control me?”
Shen Qingyun shut his mouth and didn’t answer. He quickly brewed his energy to control Chu Luo.
How could Chu Luo not know what he was thinking? She took out a talisman and slapped it on him.
“Since you’re not answering, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Shen Qingyun’s face twisted in pain.
“What… what did you do to me?”
“Nothing much. I just took away your ability.”
“You… pfft…”
Chu Luo quickly dodged the blood he spat out and said with disdain, “So disgusting.”
At this moment, Li Yan had already walked to her side and said coldly, “Since he’s unwilling to speak, just kill him.”
After saying that, he took out a dagger and stabbed him with it again.
“Pfft…”
Shen Qingyun finally couldn’t hold on and fell.
Chu Luo looked at the wide-eyed and frightened Shen Qingyun and said, “You must have an accomplice. It’s fine if you don’t tell me who. Your accomplice should be arriving soon.”
She then put away the talisman on the wall. After a few seconds, she said to Li Yan, “He’s here.”
