The Hidden Puppet Master, Miss Doll, Church of Suffering

"Boom!"

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

The skyrail shook violently.

It was the water dragon that crashed into the sky track.

A procedural defense array was activated, enveloping the entire orbit like a barrier.

But under the continuous impact of the water dragon.

It was bound to break sooner or later.

Passengers in other carriages, unaware of what was happening, couldn't help but scream in terror.

a mess.

……

Inside the train carriage, stained red with blood.

The icy wind, mixed with torrential rain, relentlessly poured into the car windows, the moisture like white mist.

"Splash splash splash".

The passengers, their faces filled with terror, stood on their seats like puppets on strings.

A black-haired, golden-eyed boy stood in the corridor, his expression cold.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Three cold lights slashed towards the back of Jiang Yuan's head.

Jiang Yuan didn't even glance at it.

He threw a backhand punch at empty air!

Crackling sound.

Black lightning flashed, and crimson ripples surged!

The air shattered like glass, the car windows around them exploded, and a terrifying shockwave swept outwards!

A short figure with a horrified expression and disordered breathing fell from the sky.

Jiang Yuan flashed in front of him, grabbed his head, and crushed it.

But it's just a paper figure.

"A Stand ability...?"

Jiang Yuan thought to himself.

"Go to hell."

A sound came from the shadows.

A bloody, mangled mass was thrown out and landed on the floor.

"What... what is this?"

Under Cao Xiaoyu's terrified gaze.

The bloody, mangled mass wriggled and formed a human mouth, opening its mouth towards Jiang Yuan and uttering a curse.

"die!"

"Buzz—"

The invisible power of the curse transformed into black nails, ignoring defenses and instantly pinning down Jiang Yuan's limbs.

【-twenty four】

As red damage numbers appeared above Jiang Yuan's head...

A third-tier Shadow Assassin emerged from the shadows and instantly appeared in front of Jiang Yuan.

"Blade's Fury".

"Slit the throat."

"Shadow Thrust - Seven-Hit Combo!"

The poisoned blade in his hand sliced ​​towards Jiang Yuan's vitals at a speed too fast to see clearly.

The blade's shadow overlapped seven times, and all seven attacks were aimed at Jiang Yuan's heart, displaying unparalleled ruthlessness and precision.

"roll!"

Jiang Yuan raised his eyes, and his whole body erupted with terrifying blood energy, forming a blood energy barrier similar to a barrier, making it difficult for the assassin's thrust to advance even an inch.

A terrifying golden light shot out from his indifferent golden eyes.

boom!

In an instant.

An extremely powerful pressure erupted from his body!

Still gripped by fear, the people had no power to resist and instantly fainted in the face of this terrifying force.

The Shadow Assassin directly endured the baptism of that oppressive force, and his spirit and will instantly collapsed!

Jiang Yuan shattered the cursed nails, reached out and grabbed the short assassin's head. A flash of black flame appeared in his palm, burning it to ashes.

A rare Tier 3 assassin has fallen!

"Gurgle..."

Witnessing all this, Cao Xiaoyu couldn't help but swallow hard and said:

"Wow, that's amazing..."

Jiang Yuan looked at the bloody, mangled thing on the ground. After casting a spell, it seemed to have lost all its power, turning gray and withered.

"Identification".

【Sinful Flesh and Blood】(Low-level): Made from human souls and the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts through an evil ritual, it can bear and release curses.

"Disgusting stuff."

Jiang Yuan said with disgust, and stomped it into ashes.

After doing all this.

He looked at Cao Xiaoyu and said coldly, "How long are you going to hide?"

Cao Xiaoyu paused for two seconds, looked to the side, and pointed to herself.

"I?"

A gray, malevolent halo appeared behind Jiang Yuan, and a black glint flashed in his golden eyes as he looked at the innocent-looking girl in her school uniform.

Eyes filled with fear.

Cao Xiaoyu took two steps back, her face filled with fear, her eyes vacant, clearly her mind had been dragged into an abyss of terror, yet a clear, girlish laugh escaped her lips.

"Hehehehe... How did you find me?"

"The mental pressure I released did not avoid her."

"I see. This is where the flaw lies."

"You're the puppeteer behind it all, aren't you?"

"That's right. Unlike those useless lunatics, the Abyss Believers, I'm a sixth-tier big shot."

A sinister smile appeared on Cao Xiaoyu's terrified face.

"You can call me—Miss Doll."

…………

Above the sky track.

Sensing his companion's aura disappear, the fourth-tier man in black, who was entangled by the Martial God's clone, gritted his teeth.

"A bunch of useless idiots!"

Rumble...

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, with torrential rain and howling winds.

The monk saw several figures vaguely appearing under the dim sky in the distance and said, "The patrol officers are here."

"They came really fast."

"These lackeys of order, these loyal dogs of rules, are truly detestable..."

The leader in black hurled insults, his face contorted with madness.

"There's no other way; we'll have to resort to our last resort."

"So, you're going to use that trick? Hehehe..."

Beneath the mage's cloak, his body trembled, and he let out a slightly manic laugh.

"This is amazing! I hear the abyss calling to me."

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!" the man in black cursed, and was once again hit by the God of War's clone. His defensive energy shield shattered, and he was sent flying into the air like a cannonball.

"Lord of the Great Abyss, we, your servants, offer our flesh and blood as a sacrifice, and respectfully beseech you..."

The sorcerer chanted incantations, the words were evil, and a blood-red magic circle gradually appeared beneath his feet.

"Whoosh!"

The Martial God's clone flashed in front of the black-clad leader in mid-air and pointed a finger down.

The term "镇狱指" refers to the prison.

A vast gravitational force swept in, sealing off space and forming a domain.

The leader in black was stuck in the mud and could not move.

A dense, crimson aura of blood and qi intertwined above his head, forming a gigantic, illusory finger-like shape, crackling with electricity, and pressing down on him with an irresistible, overwhelming force!

Looking up at the giant finger that was crushing down on him.

The man in black, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, wore a wild and maniacal smile. His black clothes fluttered in the wind, and his hood fell off, revealing an ordinary face.

"Amazing, amazing, fantastic!"

"I can't believe I actually fought against such a monster! Hahaha, Mom, did you see that?"

"Am I really as useless as you say?"

At that moment, his excitement and madness reached their peak, as if he were standing on a stage where thousands of people were watching, and his long-deceased mother was smiling and applauding for him along with countless others.

"If I could die with such a genius, my lord would surely praise me."

His face showed anticipation and hope, and he condensed a blackish-purple ball of light in his hands, which shattered the mage's head as he completed the magic array.

Without hesitation, he plunged another arrow into his own chest, shattering his own heart with his own hands. With a satisfied smile on his face, he followed the mage, turning into blood that flowed into the formed crimson magic circle.

In an instant.

The magic circle shone brightly.

Blood-red magic circles, like red roses, appeared on the outer layers of all the carriages on the SkyTrain, emitting a dazzling red light, and then exploded!

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!"

……

The skyrail shook violently during the explosion.

The defensive array that could withstand missiles was shattered.

It looked like it was about to shatter at any moment.

People were lying haphazardly inside the train carriage.

Jiang Yuan stared at the girl opposite him, who had a cheerful smile on her face, his expression serious.

Sixth Order...

This is a bit tricky.

Haven't the patrol officers arrived yet?

In case I reach a point where I have to fight with all my might to protect myself, I will fight with all my might...

The battle's impact, combined with the speed of the air track and being high in the air... would likely kill everyone on the entire air track.

From the beginning until now.

Jiang Yuan's only thought was to minimize casualties and do his best to protect others, which is why he controlled his power to avoid affecting ordinary people.

Compared to martial artists who have advanced to the next class, the lives of ordinary people are far too fragile, so fragile that they can easily die without even knowing why if they accidentally get caught up in a battle between martial artists...

But all Jiang Yuan could do was try his best.

If it really comes to the point of no return.

He won't hold back either.

Faced with these madmen, the Abyss Believers, who treat human life as worthless, it's unacceptable to surrender simply because they're using the lives of a whole train car full of people as leverage.

That's truly hopeless folly!

Having just witnessed the giant twist off the old man's head and seen someone die because of him, Jiang Yuan felt anger, but not to the point of losing his mind.

A fourth-tier martial artist is not so easy to kill, especially when Jiang Yuan is restrained and unable to unleash his full power. If he doesn't kill him immediately, the commotion caused in the confined space of the sky train car during the battle would likely shake everyone inside. The best option is to kill him instantly when he is off guard, and the result proved that his choice was correct. Apart from a few people being seriously injured by the explosive head thrown by the giant, there were no further casualties.

The elderly are the victims who made all of this possible.

You could call it ruthless, or you could call it cold-blooded.

This is the fate of the weak.

It's like a microcosm of the world.

"Hey."

Cao Xiaoyu, who called herself "Miss Doll," spoke in a clear, girlish voice, looking at Jiang Yuan in front of her and smiling:

Have you ever heard of the Church of Suffering?

"Never heard of it."

Jiang Yuan asked, "You're not a follower of the Abyss?"

"Of course not, I'm not one of those crazy people who'd kill themselves at the drop of a hat."
