C748 Surviving from Death
"Seven... Seven stars!"
Lin Hongming looked at Zhuh Leeyun in disbelief.
Since when had he advanced to Seven Stars Puppet Master?
"I don't think so, Lin Hongming!"
Zhuh Leeyun grinned hideously, "In this world, you're not the only one who can improve. Me too. That old fool has always valued you. I will leave all the good stuff to you. Before I leave, I will announce that you are the acting Peak Lord. I am obviously the most outstanding, and Phlogistic Hikari should belong to me. The person who is acting as the acting Peak Lord should also be me. That old fart couldn't see that. He has never taken me seriously..."
"Shut up!"
Upon hearing Zhuh Leeyun scolding the Peak Lord, Lin Hongming's face turned livid as he furiously shouted out. He interrupted him, "I won't allow you to insult the Peak Lord! Zhuh Leeyun, you have all the abilities you have! They are all taught by the Peak Lord, yet you dare to insult him like this! Do you have any sense of shame? "
"Hmph!"
Zhuh Leeyun continued to sneer, "So what if I have insulted him? Since that old fart chose you, to me, he is my enemy. Me and him have already cut off all ties with each other!"
"You ungrateful wretch!"
Lin Hongming's expression was extremely ugly. How could Zhuh Leeyun have achieved what he had today? It was all because of the Peak Lord. In the end, it was also because Zhuh Leeyun was too old. If the Peak Lord knew that Zhuh Leeyun was this kind of person... It was unknown how sad it would be.
"Cut the crap!"
At this moment, Xiao Peng who was standing at the side spoke in an unfriendly manner, "Lin Hongming, you have already signed the contract for the Puppet Battle. Take out your Phlogistic Hikari and fight Senior Brother Zhu fair and square!"
Zhuh Leeyun also sneered. Today's battle, not only did he want to take away Lin Hongming's Phlogistic Hikari, he also wanted to do so. He also wanted to let the people of the world see that the Peak Lord of Puppet Peak was about to be replaced. However, he had lost to an outsider in the battle of dummies. In this way, what face did this guy still have? He would become the Peak Lord of Puppet Peak!
Lin Hongming's expression turned ugly. He knew very well that no matter how outstanding Phlogistic Hikari was, he couldn't be compared to a Seven Star Puppet, let alone a Seven Star Puppet Master.
If he were to engage in a puppet battle, he would lose without a doubt.
He wasn't afraid of losing, but he knew that he couldn't lose at this moment.
If he lost, the imposing manner that the Puppet Peak had gathered with great difficulty and united against the common enemy would be forcefully interrupted, and the Puppet Peak would once again fall into a bottomless abyss!
What should he do!
Lin Hongming's face turned pale, but no matter what, he couldn't think of a way to save the situation. The Puppet Battle Contract had already been signed, and it was too late for him to go back on his word.
Gradually, Lin Hongming's heart began to sink, and his face turned pale. The faces of the elders and disciples of Puppet Peak became even uglier and uglier.
Two disciples who had been nurtured by the Puppet Peak were going to bring eternal damnation to the Puppet Peak. The fury in everyone's heart had almost reached the sky.
"What are you waiting for, Lin Hongming!"
Zhuh Leeyun sneered. The mountain-like puppet suddenly shook. The earth shook and the mountains shook, as if it couldn't wait any longer.
Xiao Peng and the disciples of Wanxiang Peak smiled complacently. They could already see the outcome of the Puppet Peak.
Lin Hongming's facial expression turned ugly. He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were filled with grief and indignation. Now, he was going to fight Zhuh Leeyun to the death!
"Even if we are no match for him, we have to destroy Phlogistic Hikari in the battle of dummies. We can't let the work of the Peak Lord fall into the hands of these despicable people!"
A trace of determination appeared in Lin Hongming's eyes. He stood out and said coldly, "Let's fight then..."
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, a faint voice came from behind.
Everyone was stunned. A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Lin Hongming's face as he looked in the direction of the voice.
He saw Su Jin walk out from the crowd.
"It's you!"
Xiao Peng's facial expression changed drastically, and flames of fury shot out from his eyes. He wished he could eat Su Jin alive.
If it wasn't for Su Jin meddling in other people's business, that puppet would have been his! The master of Wanxiang Peak wouldn't be so disappointed in him, so he invited Zhuh Leeyun over.
The disciples of Wanxiang Peak also had cold expressions on their faces. Back then, Su Jin had ruined their plan, and these people had long held a grudge against Su Jin.
When Zhuh Leeyun heard the voice transmission from someone else, he only cast a glance at Su Jin and didn't look at him anymore.
In Zhuh Leeyun's eyes, repairing Phlogistic Hikari was just as simple as that. He could do it as well.
Naturally, he wouldn't put Su Jin in his heart too much.
"Senior disciple Lin, how can you not invite me to take over the position of Peak Lord?"
Su Jin said to Lin Hongming with a blaming tone.
"Brother Su, listen to my explanation."
Lin Hongming smiled bitterly. The reason he didn't invite Su Jin wasn't because he didn't like Su Jin, but because he knew that the Wanxiang Peak would never let go of today's succession ceremony. Therefore, he didn't want Su Jin to get involved in any more trouble.
In front of such a huge power like the Wanxiang Peak, even the current Illusory Moon Peak couldn't match it, let alone an inner circle disciple like Su Jin.
"Lin Hongming, are you done yet?"
Zhuh Leeyun cast a disdainful glance at Su Jin, "What's there to talk about with an inner circle disciple? To think that you are a proxy Peak Lord. Hmph, the Puppet Peak has fallen into your hands, it's time for it to decline."
"Zhuh Leeyun, you..." Lin Hongming's face darkened.
"Senior disciple Lin, you don't have to be angry with such a person."
Su Jin smiled faintly and interrupted Lin Hongming's words. He looked at Zhuh Leeyun and said, "In my opinion, you are not qualified to fight Senior disciple Lin in a puppet battle."
"Little bastard, what did you say?!"
A fierce light flashed in Zhuh Leeyun's eyes. How dare a puny inner circle disciple speak to him in such a way? This was simply courting death. He was about to explode.
"What I said is the truth."
Su Jin smiled faintly, "My puppet technique is far inferior to senior disciple Lin's. As for you, you are nothing in my eyes. If you really want to challenge senior disciple Lin, you have to defeat me first!"
"Little bastard, you said that I am mediocre? Hahahahaha!"
Zhuh Leeyun laughed out of extreme anger, his eyes revealing killing intent, "Kid, if it was any other time, you would dare to say such words to me. I would have died ten thousand times earlier. But now, I won't bother with ants like you for the time being. Get lost, if you don't get lost, don't blame me for being impolite! "
"Kid, stop messing around here!"
Xiao Peng said coldly, "This is not a place for lowly inner sect disciples like you to behave atrociously!"
"Brother Su..."
Lin Hongming's facial expression changed. He had already guessed what Su Jin wanted to do.
"Brother Lin, leave it to me."
Su Jin said in a heavy tone. The Taichu that he had obtained was too precious. It was only reasonable for him to help Lin Hongming today.2
"Zhuh Leeyun, do you think I'm joking?"
Su Jin sneered, "Didn't you want Brother Lin's Phlogistic Hikari? Let me tell you the truth. Brother Lin has given me the other puppet of the Peak Lord in Puppet Peak. I have already repaired it!"
As he spoke, the triangular stone puppet appeared in his hand!
