Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

On one hand, Ning Zhuo’s own strength was leveraged by military arts to an unprecedented level. On the other hand, while Tian Shuang’s Ghost Mask was of the Nascent Soul level, its essence had been weakened to the limit.

The crucial point was, the Ghost Mask, under divine sense communication, actively cooperated with Ning Zhuo without any resistance.

All these factors finally led to the successful linkage of the Life Hanging Thread!

Once successful, Ning Zhuo immediately channeled a large amount of Buddha thoughts from his mind through the thread into Tian Shuang’s Ghost Mask.

The Ghost Mask then glowed with Buddha light, shining brightly.

It bore Tian Shuang’s face, now full of benevolence, clasping its hands together, and began chanting Buddhist scriptures.

Tian Shuang, furious, streaked like lightning to Ning Zhuo and the Ghost Mask, slashing fiercely with his sharp claws.

He wanted to capture Ning Zhuo alive, so this strike was aimed solely at the Ghost Mask.

Every second that this Ghost Mask existed was an insult to him.

Clang.

A metallic sound rang out as a strong ice claw blocked Tian Shuang’s ice claw.

The three generals were rushing over, their eyes widening in shock at the sight.

Tian Shuang’s face changed color, his expression shaken!

Because blocking him wasn’t someone else, nor the Ghost Mask, but Tian Shuang himself!!

Earth Ghost’s amused smile vanished, staring hard at Tian Shuang.

Tian Shuang knew the reason.

His Divine Sea was once again flooded with vast Buddha thoughts.

“Why?! I didn’t use Frost Soul Gaze to attack his Divine Sea.” This doubt only flashed, and Tian Shuang guessed the deeper reason.

“Damn it, it’s the Ghost Mask Technique!”

Ghost Mask Technique—this spell borrows a Great Ghost’s power to condense a fixed mask.

The stronger the Great Ghost’s power, the stronger the Ghost Mask.

This means there’s a subtle link between the Great Ghost and the Ghost Mask.

When Ning Zhuo linked to Tian Shuang’s Ghost Mask, he could use the latter to transmit and influence Tian Shuang’s main body.

Moreover, the Heaven and Earth Ghosts had cultivated the Ghost Mask Technique to an extreme, body-covering level, almost like clones!

This meant that the link between them was far stronger than usual Ghost Mask Techniques.

The Ghost Mask Technique was a classic spell. As a member of the Evil Sect, Sun Lingtong understood its internal connections.

The Heaven and Earth Ghosts were not unaware of this, thus they never shared their own Ghost Masks lightly, only using them among themselves.

Also, the two were almost inseparable, always acting together, allowing thorough mutual supervision!

The biggest surprise of this battle was that Tian Shuang was countered by the Buddha Heart Devil Seal, with Buddha thoughts once severely limiting his abilities.

Therefore, Sun Lingtong and Ning Zhuo knew well that Buddha thoughts had an excellent effect on Tian Shuang.

This was also why Ning Zhuo, despite knowing the extreme risk, was willing to try at Sun Lingtong’s suggestion.

He grasped the deeply hidden hint from fate—amidst this battle where the enemy was strong and the sides were vastly uneven, it might be the only chance for victory.

Buddha thoughts once again surged in Tian Shuang’s main body’s Divine Sea!

Buddha Heart Demon Seal!!!

Ning Zhuo had never, at any moment, pushed this magic treasure so fervently.

The Buddha light shone in Tian Shuang’s Divine Sea, Buddha thoughts flooding in endlessly!

“I…” Tian Shuang still tried to resist, but normal thoughts were quickly suppressed by the Buddha light, swept and submerged by the incoming Buddha thoughts like a tide.

Seeing the poor situation, Earth Ghost cast a spell, remotely attacking Ning Zhuo.

Boom.

Tian Shuang waved his claws, standing beside Ning Zhuo, blocking Earth Ghost’s attack.

Tian Shuang, face filled with compassion, earnestly persuaded Earth Ash, “My companion, turn back now.”

Earth Ghost: ?!!
