Tang Xin held the gun horizontally in front of her. With her power, she was not enough to contend with those puppets, causing her whole body to be flung backward, crashing into the stone wall. Two bloodied furrows appeared on her arms, large patches of festering marks spreading!

The sharp pain made her groan, her consciousness nearly drained. However, the crisis in front of her allowed no time for thought. She struggled to get up from the ground, ignoring the pain and injuries on her body, crawling and rolling to dodge the subsequent attacks of the puppets.

The blond-haired girl was not by her side; she could only rely on herself now.

The battle below continued, and she couldn't afford to be a burden to them at this moment.

She chanted softly, casting two enhancements on herself, watching as the sharp claws scraped across the ground with a shrill screech, two puppets approaching. In the usually soft and shifting gaze, there was rare fierceness, and on her face, besides blood, there was the determination of a young girl.

A soft green and ice-blue light flowed from the palm of her hand, healing her wounds. Simultaneously, ice spears gathered around Tang Xin on both sides, emitting a chilling aura, and were launched together at the puppets charging forward!

It did not cause any substantial damage. The seemingly sharp ice spears shattered into countless ice shards upon touching the puppet's surface.

Under the blessing of the depraved waltz, she couldn't even pierce through the defense of those orchestra puppets.

Tang Xin blamed herself internally for not investing more effort in researching offensive water techniques at Starry Arts Academy. As a result, the water skills she excelled in were mostly related to healing and protection. Apart from the basic water bullet, ice spear, and vortex water column required in fundamental courses, she was clueless about offensive techniques.

Perhaps, the girl never expected one day she would venture outside the city, fighting alongside others, facing these tricky enemies.

The two orchestra puppets crept closer with scarlet eyes. Tang Xin took a deep breath, softly muttering, "Ice Crystal Shield."

Six streams of water flowed and congealed in midair, forming six solid, cold-emitting ice shields, covering her entire body.

After being shielded by the ice, a sense of security rose within Tang Xin. She held the gun tight against her chest, reengaging with the enemy.

...

After withdrawing from the puppet in front with a cut, the prolonged battle left Xu Xiaoyou feeling somewhat fatigued. She took a few steps back to observe the battlefield.

Tang Xin did not require her concern. While tangling with two puppets, she could still allocate attention to maintain her enhancements. Lin Sheng was mired in a fierce battle, and she had yet to find a breakthrough, having several times rushed near the Puppet Mother only to be repelled by the orchestra puppets or nearly having her throat cut by the chaotic, dancing threads around it.

Should Tang Xin use [Star Ensemble]?

This was her trump card. From the moment they ventured outside the city, Xu had been reluctant to let her use this group enhancement.

One reason was to keep a trump card for emergencies, and the other was to keep hidden enemies at bay, hesitant to make a move.

Everyone knew that a Starry Singer was a profession blessed by the stars, possessing tremendously powerful supportive abilities, especially under the Star of Art in Starry Realm. They are daughters of the stars, observed by distant eyes, adorned with countless splendors.

"What's wrong?" The Puppet Master's voice came from above.

"You look tired, is that all you've got?"

"It seems like your abilities aren't as tough as your words. This game hasn't entertained me enough."

"Why don't I add fuel to the fire, making this dance even more vibrant?"

"Too many words." Xu Xiaoyou frowned.

"Jazz, Rock, my dear lead vocalists, turn them into the notes of the decayed mire!"

As the Puppet Master finished speaking, two figures among the hundreds of puppets suddenly changed in aura, countless others turning into a rotten mud, flowing towards them to reshape their bodies.

In a matter of moments, two Heavy Knights in heavy armor appeared in Xu Xiaoyou's view, one covered in thorny vines and the other engulfed in flames!

Their auras were as savage as wild beasts, holding guitar axes, playing vastly different melodies. With the enhancement of [Jazz] and [Rock], those orchestra puppets' power gained another boost, their aura gone mad, their desire to attack reaching its peak!

Having previously experienced the might of 'Country Music', such Three Tier Heavy Knight puppets now emerged two at once on the field, with the power balance tipping initially in the Puppet Master's favor, now showing an even more one-sided trend.

The two lead singers simultaneously pointed towards Xu Xiaoyou, and the orchestra puppets, upon receiving orders, abruptly abandoned the blood-covered Lin Sheng, turning to attack Xu Xiaoyou's position instead. She had no intention to engage, utilizing her current triple enhancement and high agility to maneuver around the field, keeping distance from the puppets.

While using water techniques to fend off ranged attacks from the puppets, Xu Xiaoyou bought herself some time to think.

Two Three Tier puppets...

Apart from the unknown whereabouts of the Country Music, how many high-tier combat puppets did the Puppet Master have?

Suddenly realizing something, Xu Xiaoyou called out, "Tang Xin!"

At this moment, the blue-haired girl on the distant high platform had just dealt with the two puppets entangling her; her aura unstable. Suddenly hearing Xu Xiaoyou's call, her pupils contracted, a shadow dashing out before her as two white blades exploded at her neck!

Blood splattered, the gun barricading her was shredded to pieces!

Tang Xin jerked backward, her face pale; if not for her timely use of a water barrier, the cut on her neck wouldn't have been so simple.

The shadow's face emerged, and seeing who it was, Tang Xin's heart skipped a beat, an unprecedented sense of crisis welling up.

The young man's former face no longer existed, his eyes void of anything but darkness. Two Snake Fang Daggers crossed in front, maintaining the posture of his previous deadly strike.

For a support profession like her, encountering a Three Tier Shadow Attacker like Lin Xing was akin to a nightmare, especially given her lack of combat experience and relatively weak battle sense and skill as a singer.

Watching the opponent readying another assault, Tang Xin retreated a few steps, her mind gradually going blank.

She couldn't evade the next shadow strike... she would truly die!

Death approached like the fangs of a sharp-toothed venomous snake, about to sever her throat.

Wanting to use [Star Ensemble] to protect herself, Xu Xiaoyou's reminder flashed in Tang Xin's mind, causing her raised hand to instinctively lower, watching helplessly as the Snake Fang Dagger closed in on her neck.

The birds were about to cease their song, the blooming Lindong flowers soon to wither.

In that instant, an explosive gunshot thundered in Tang Xin's ears.

Blood blossoms erupted from Lin Xing's puppet body, his entire figure plummeting straight down.

The entire field was stunned, even Xu Xiaoyou below was surprised.

A blood-soaked man emerged from the shadows, the Cyan Flood Dragon emblem on his shoulder gleamed to its extreme, bared fangs, mist enveloping the shattered eyeglasses from the sniper rifle's white smoke.

Chen San adjusted his glasses, his tone calm, "Country Music has been dealt with, what are the next orders, commander?"
