Xia Ruofei used the same tactic he had used to kill the itinerant peddler. Without much effort, he killed the old puppet that clearly had the strength of a late-stage Golden Elixir cultivator.
The count in the Perceptive Mirror showed 2/100.
After two successful kills, Xia Ruofei had already discovered that although these puppets looked very strong, there was still a big gap between them and human cultivators of the same level.
This gap was not only reflected in the perception ability.
The puppets' reaction speed was also slower than human cultivators, and when faced with some deceitful tactics, they were often easily tricked.
Just like Xia Ruofei's diversion tactic, he had already succeeded twice in a row. This old puppet, like the itinerant peddler, did not have any reaction at all. No matter how strong its cultivation was, if its neck was cut by the flying sword, it would not be able to survive.
Next, Xia Ruofei lurked near the small hill. After each shot, he changed his location, constantly ambushing lone puppets.
Time continued to pass. When the timer showed half an hour, Xia Ruofei had already killed fifteen puppets.
At this speed, he could only kill sixty puppets in two hours, which was obviously far from enough.
Moreover, it would be more difficult to kill the puppets later on.
Therefore, if Xia Ruofei wanted to break the record, he had to further speed up.
He used his mental strength to search again and felt that he could not stay in this relatively safe and comfortable zone. Otherwise, not to mention two hours, even if he was given four hours, he might not be able to complete the task of killing a hundred puppets.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei decided to move closer to the center of the town. After all, most of the puppets were still active in that area, and only a small number of puppets had come to the periphery. Now, Xia Ruofei had almost cleared them all. If he continued to wait here, it might take a long time for the puppets to occasionally run over.
Xia Ruofei carefully straightened his body from the grass and ran down the hill.
When he passed by the True Yang Temple, Xia Ruofei looked at the closed gate and scanned the temple with his spiritual power. However, he only found the Taoist child Qing Feng. As for the quiet room in the back hall, his spiritual power could not penetrate it at all.
Xia Ruofei's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly withdrew his mind power.
That old Taoist Zhen Yang was becoming more and more mysterious in Xia Ruofei's eyes. He didn't want to provoke an old monster like that.
Xia Ruofei continued walking towards the small town. Suddenly, he discovered two puppets walking out of the small town side by side. They were walking towards the direction of True Yang Shrine.
He noticed the two puppets as soon as he raised his head. He didn't even need to use his spiritual power to search for them.
Of course, this also meant that Xia Ruofei was also exposed to the vision of the two puppets. So, almost as if it was a conditioned reflex, he dodged and hid in the bushes at the side.
The two puppets had just turned their heads. They must have seen a suspicious shadow, but they couldn't confirm that it was Xia Ruofei. Thus, the two puppets quickened their pace, wanting to investigate.
Xia Ruofei lay motionless in the bushes. He even stopped breathing temporarily. This was because he knew very well that the two puppets had already focused their attention on him. As long as there was even the slightest movement here, they would definitely notice.
At that time, he might even shout loudly and attract more puppets.
Previously, when he encountered two puppets acting together, Xia Ruofei would usually avoid them. If he really couldn't avoid them, he would simply hide in the Ring-Tu space and wait for the puppets to leave before coming out.
However, Xia Ruofei felt that it wasn't a good idea to keep hiding. Besides, the two puppets were in the early Golden Core stage. They should be a couple in the small town. Thus, when they walked, they were still holding hands and the girl's face had a blissful smile.
The Qu Shuang Flying Sword and the Blue Traveling Immortal Sword had been taken out. They quietly floated beside Xia Ruofei, almost sticking to the grass roots.
Now that his opponents were two puppets, the previously tried and tested tactic of diversion was obviously no longer suitable.
The two puppets were getting closer and closer. Xia Ruofei's brain was spinning rapidly, hoping to find a countermeasure in the shortest time possible.
The more urgent the situation was, the calmer Xia Ruofei's mind was.
He saw the two puppets holding hands intimately and quickly formulated a plan of attack.
At this time, the two puppets were already close to Xia Ruofei's position.
Xia Ruofei still held his breath and lay motionless in the bushes. However, the two flying swords had quietly moved to the back of the two puppets.
Xia Ruofei used his spiritual power to lift the flying swords and very carefully avoided the dense grass roots. At the same time, he tried to slow down as much as possible and not make any sound.
The two puppets were completely unaware of the danger behind them. Their attention was focused in front of them as they carefully searched hand in hand.
At this time, the Blue Traveling Immortal Sword suddenly flew out of the bushes and stabbed at the female puppet with a sharp whistling sound.
The two puppets immediately sensed the danger and turned around at the same time. At this time, the Blue Traveling Immortal Sword was almost piercing the female puppet's chest.
The male puppet's expression changed dramatically. He quickly threw out the machete in his hand and blocked the Blue Traveling Immortal Sword in a flash.
However, the two puppets did not notice that the Qu Shuang Flying Sword, which was really hiding beside them, was attacking the male puppet like a ghost. The Qu Shuang Flying Sword was not as fast as the Blue Traveling Immortal Sword and its momentum was not very strong. However, it was better in concealment. It almost did not make any sound.
The male puppet focused all his attention on the Blue Traveling Immortal Sword and wanted to save the female puppet. However, he did not expect that Xia Ruofei's real target was not the female puppet but him.
The Qu Shuang Flying Sword and the Blue Traveling Immortal Sword flew out of the bushes one after another. There was just a time difference.
The Blue Traveling Immortal Sword was completely to attract attention. Different from the previous tactic, this time the Blue Traveling Immortal Sword's target was the female puppet. Its purpose was to attract the male puppet's attention and attack him.
As expected, the male puppet was fooled and did not realize the danger was approaching.
Qu Shuang's Flying Sword silently flew from the side. Only when it was close to the male puppet did it suddenly accelerate, stabbing straight into the male puppet's neck, instantly piercing through it.
Blood gushed out of the wound. The male puppet widened his eyes and wanted to open his mouth to shout. However, because his windpipe had been completely pierced, he could only hiss in vain.
At the same time that the Qu Shuang Flying Sword stabbed the male puppet, Xia Ruofei had already stood up from the bushes.
At this time, Xia Ruofei was only three or four meters away from the two puppets. Because of the sneak attack of the Blue Traveling Immortal Sword, the two puppets had turned around. Therefore, Xia Ruofei was just behind them.
Xia Ruofei did not care about the situation of the male puppet at all because he was very confident in the accuracy of his control of the Flying Sword. Although the Qu Shuang Flying Sword did not cut off the head of the male puppet just now, it directly pierced through the side and stirred inside. It was definitely not going to survive.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei came out of the bushes at this moment and his only target was the female puppet.
The female puppet had just been attacked and was in a state of panic. Although the male puppet blocked the Blue Traveling Immortal Sword with his machete before he died, he also died in an instant. The female puppet saw this scene with her own eyes and was completely stunned. Her body suddenly stiffened.
Xia Ruofei was waiting for this opportunity. He approached the female puppet from behind. When the female puppet heard the movement behind her, it was too late. She only had time to turn around and Xia Ruofei's palm had already hit her hard.
When the female puppet turned around, Xia Ruofei's palm just happened to be pressed on her forehead.
Xia Ruofei hit with all his strength. His palm spat out a violent Primordial Qi and instantly smashed the inside of the female puppet's head.
At this time, the male puppet's body had just collapsed to the ground.
From the moment the Green Traveling Immortal Sword launched a feint attack, to the moment the Curved Frost Sword killed the male puppet, and then to the moment when Xia Ruofei personally killed the female puppet, although there was a time difference, it all happened in the blink of an eye. In total, it only took two or three seconds.
The two puppets fell to the ground one after another. They didn't even have time to scream or exclaim before they were silently killed by Xia Ruofei.
It had to be said that the proper tactical design played a big role.
Of course, it also had something to do with the fact that the two puppets were only at the early-stage of the Gold Core realm.
Although Xia Ruofei was also at the early-stage of the Gold Core realm, ordinary early-stage Gold Core realm cultivators were no match for him, let alone puppets that were weaker than human cultivators.
The combination of many factors made Xia Ruofei's mission progress reach 17/100.
Xia Ruofei dragged the two puppets into the grass, then put away the two flying swords and continued to carefully sneak towards the center of the town.
On the way, he was lucky enough to encounter two lone puppets. Xia Ruofei was now very proficient in dealing with single puppets. He used the Perception Mirror to explore the strength of the puppets. After confirming that he was not unlucky enough to encounter a Nascent Soul realm puppet, he easily killed the two lone puppets.
Xia Ruofei had found that even if it was a late-stage Gold Core realm puppet, if it was a one-on-one battle and he hid in the dark, it was still relatively easy for him to assassinate.
Of course, this was also because Xia Ruofei's own strength was outstanding. Even if he faced human cultivators, he could challenge them. The strength of puppets was generally lower than human cultivators of the same level. For Xia Ruofei, it was even less difficult.
In other words, Xia Ruofei now, as long as he did not encounter a group attack or two Nascent Soul realm puppets, he could easily kill the other party.
Gradually, Xia Ruofei set foot on the bluestone street of the mini town.
However, he quickly hid himself in a small alley next to him.
Because there were still many puppets on the street, if he was a little slower, he would be discovered immediately.
In contrast, those small alleys were safer.
Of course, there was a little hidden danger in breaking through the small alleys. That was, it was very likely that he would encounter a Nascent Soul realm puppet that had not shown up so far.
Choosing the lesser of two evils, now was obviously not the time to risk his life, so Xia Ruofei chose the alley. This way, he could make full use of his mental strength to search, and at the same time avoid encountering too many puppets as much as possible.
His mental strength was always at a high speed, and he was always aware of the situation of the puppets in the alley.
Although this mini town was not big, in addition to the main street, there were still many small boxes on both sides. These alleys extended in all directions, and some were two feet wide. When two people passed by each other, they had to turn sideways to pass.
Xia Ruofei quickly found his target in the alley.
The two puppets searched in the alley, and there were no other puppets in the nearby alleys for the time being.
Of course, Xia Ruofei would not let go of this opportunity, and immediately flashed forward.
He did not hesitate to launch an attack from behind the two puppets.
The Curved Frost Flying Sword and the Green Traveling Immortal Sword attacked the two puppets at the same time, and at the same time, he himself rushed forward at high speed.
One of the puppets dodged the attack of the Green Traveling Immortal Sword, but the other puppet was a step slower and did not completely dodge, and one of its arms was directly cut off by the Curved Frost Flying Sword.
For puppets, this kind of injury was nothing, their vital point was the head.
However, this was not the only wave of attacks from Xia Ruofei.
The Curved Frost Flying Sword did not slow down, and directly attacked the other puppet, and Xia Ruofei's target was also the unharmed puppet.
He moved with profound footwork, and attacked the puppet with Qu Shuang's flying sword from the left and right.
The trajectory of the Curved Frost Flying Sword was very strange, and in fact, this was the sword move of the Gentleman Sword. The puppet was clumsy left and right, and appeared to be in a very sorry state. Xia Ruofei quickly found its weakness, and used the full power of the Curved Frost Flying Sword to attack, he took a step to the front of the puppet, and viciously punched its head.
This puppet with the strength of a middle Gold Core stage did not dodge at all, and its head instantly exploded, and it was dead.
The other puppet did not care about the bleeding wound at all, and directly shouted loudly, and at the same time, attacked Xia Ruofei.
After Xia Ruofei killed the puppet with the strength of a middle Gold Core stage, he did not stop at all, and with a stomp of his feet, he jumped out, and at the same time, put the Green Traveling Immortal Sword and the Curved Frost Flying Sword into his body.
Xia Ruofei did not continue to fight, and did not care about the puppet that was chasing after him, and directly hid in another alley.
At this time, the puppets in the center of the town had been alarmed, and they rushed to this position from all directions.
Xia Ruofei's brain worked quickly, and after analyzing the situation with his spiritual power, he did not hesitate to enter a branching alley.
The puppet with the broken arm had already issued a warning, so Xia Ruofei decisively gave up. His figure moved like a ghost through the alleys of various sizes, and quickly escaped before the encirclement was formed.
Xia Ruofei hid in the shadows of the alley, and once again began to use his spiritual power to investigate — after the puppets were alarmed, their distribution had changed greatly.
Xia Ruofei suddenly realized that this might be the most suitable way for him — to be an assassin hidden in the shadows, quietly delivering a fatal blow to the enemy …
