Chapter 710 Snow Color Spirit
Pi Fujie, although he is the face of the Pi family's genius, his cultivation level is only at the foundation-building stage.
Although Ning Zhuo was also at the foundation building stage and his cultivation was weaker than his, he had killed Jindan and Yuanying level cultivators before, and even fought against those at the spirit transformation level!
Pi Fujie's eyelids twitched. Feeling Ning Zhuo's surging confidence, he became even more afraid to fight back.
For a moment, he was at a loss and began to regret greeting Shen Xi and his gang, which resulted in him being unable to escape.
If we really retreat without fighting and the news spreads back to our family, the days of hiding our skin will be difficult and we will be skinned alive.
"Hahahaha!" At this moment, the tiger demon beside Pi Fujie burst into laughter.
"You are just a little kid, yet you are so arrogant. Let me meet you!"
This tiger demon is extremely powerful and has just been successfully recruited by Pi Fujie.
Just as Chen Xi had once been close to Ning Zhuo, Pi Fujie had also deliberately approached the tiger demon. Their initial intentions were the same. However, as they interacted, Ning Zhuo demonstrated his strength, prompting Chen Xi to immediately and wisely adjust his stance and treat him as an equal.
When Pi Fujie saw the tiger demon laughing, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The tiger demon cupped his fists and said solemnly to Pi Fujie, "Master Pi, we've only met a few times, yet you gave me the Soul Tattoo. I should do my best to help you get back at your wits' end!"
Pi Fujie breathed a sigh of relief and was delighted. This was undoubtedly the best response - he wouldn't have to suffer the consequences, and he could give an explanation to his family.
Pi Fujie immediately promised: "This is your first attempt, no matter if you win or lose, there will be a reward!"
Ning Zhuo sneered: "No matter how much the reward is, a dead monk can't receive it, right?"
The tiger demon glared at Ning Zhuo angrily: "Little thing, you are really arrogant. When I defeat you, I will not kill you immediately, I will eat you alive. When the time comes, I want to see if you are still so arrogant."
Ning Zhuo put away the Five Elements Life and Death Fan, with a look of disdain on his face: "You are just a demon cultivator, how dare you fight me?"
"If I were to take action, cutting off your skin would be a reasonable decision."
The tiger demon suddenly laughed and pointed his finger at Ning Zhuo's nose: "You are scared! You are too cowardly to accept my life-and-death duel!"
"It's fine if you don't accept it, I'll spread the word that you're a coward!"
"I know you righteous people love fame. Just wait."
Ning Zhuo sighed: "Well, since you're looking for death, I won't stop you."
"If you can defeat the mechanical puppet in my hand, I will come down and personally kill you."
Chen Xi glanced sideways, thinking: "Mechanical puppet?"
The two teams entered the martial arts hall. Since it was the tiger demon who initiated the challenge, according to the established rules, he would pay the spirit stone fee.
Ning Zhuo chose a room.
There was a magic circle in the room. Everyone walked through the door and entered the magic circle space.
While waiting to enter, Chen Xi urgently transmitted his thoughts: "Brother Ning, you may not know yet. This Pi family specializes in the 'Seven Talismans Demon Skin Sutra'. They can use the two skills of paper-binding and talisman-making, using souls as the main material to engrave talismans on their own skin."
"When it's at its strongest, it will engrave seven talismans at the same time, regardless of whether they are the same."
"These talismans activate with incredible speed, almost as swift as one's own innate spells. Furthermore, the talismans often interact with each other, forming a coordinated effect."
"Although the tiger demon has only been with us for a short time, Pi Fujie is capable of engraving a magic talisman on him."
"From what the tiger demon said earlier, Pi Fujie had already engraved one for him in order to recruit him. Now that they're still taking so long, I'm afraid they're engraving a second one."
"In the next battle, be extremely careful. Using the mechanical puppet to probe the details of the tiger demon and the talisman is a safe bet."
Chen Xi knew that Ning Zhuo's understanding of the Five Elements was far beyond that of ordinary people. As for how much beyond, he had not yet tried to find out.
In his opinion, Ning Zhuo was about the same age as him, perhaps slightly older. It was quite rare for him to have such a profound understanding of the Five Elements at such a young age. Ning Zhuo should have devoted a lot of his time and energy to the Five Elements.
As for mechanical engineering, he is definitely not that proficient in it.
Therefore, he had already anticipated the upcoming battle: Ning Zhuo would use the mechanical puppet to probe the tiger demon's true nature. If the situation was favorable, he could even wear down the tiger demon, weakening its fighting power. Then, Ning Zhuo would unleash the Five Elements Life and Death Fan and unleash Five Elements magic to slay the tiger demon and secure victory.
Ning Zhuo waved his hand slightly: "Brother Shen, don't worry, it's just a kitten."
Chen Xi praised: "Brother Ning is heroic."
Su Lingkou curled his lips secretly, thinking, "My cousin gave you good advice, but you didn't appreciate it. If you're so arrogant, if you really lose the battle later, I'm afraid you'll lose even more face."
"Oh, I hope you can win."
"We should be able to win, right?"
Su Lingkou had never seen Ning Zhuo take action with his own eyes, so he didn't have much confidence in Ning Zhuo.
After a while, Pi Fujie and the tiger demon entered the room.
The tiger demon came to the martial arts arena, while Pi Fujie, Shen Xi and Su Lingkou stood outside and watched.
The tiger demon's eyes lit up and he was very happy.
He thought to himself, "I was right to challenge! To win this battle, the young master gifted me with another magic talisman, which greatly increased my strength!"
"I will definitely win this battle, boy. Consider this your gift of promotion to my throne."
He stretched out his finger and hooked it at Ning Zhuo, with a strong sense of provocation.
Ning Zhuo had a blank expression on his face. He waved his hand lightly and released a mechanical puppet from his storage belt.
I saw that this mechanical figure was six feet and three inches tall, in female form, with six arms and a graceful posture.
Its body is covered with a layer of three-color enamel armor, its cheeks are snow-porcelain masks, and its hair is woven into black hair made of ice silk.
Snow Colorful Girl·Hui!
As soon as she appeared on the stage, her beautiful appearance attracted everyone's attention.
Immediately, Su Lingkou exclaimed, "A Jindan-level mechanical puppet?"
Pi Fujie frowned immediately.
To this day, Ning Zhuo starts from the Golden Elixir stage when making elite mechanical puppets.
Xue Cainu Hui's entire body is made almost entirely of precious golden elixir-grade materials. Locked within the core mechanism that supplies mana is a ghostly golden elixir. The golden elixir's burst of mana, channeled through the magic circle, transforms into ice-attribute mana. This conversion inevitably results in loss and delay.
But Ning Zhuo has done his best at the moment.
He didn't have a suitable ice-attribute golden elixir.
Seeing Ning Zhuo immediately release a Jindan-level mechanical puppet, the tiger demon cursed inwardly, "This human kid is treacherous! This is probably his strongest trump card. He's deliberately saying it nicely, but in fact, he has been trying his best to deal with me from the beginning!"
The tiger demon looked solemn and did not dare to be careless.
He also had rich combat experience. Seeing that the mechanical puppet was colorful and beautiful, he guessed that it was a mechanical puppet mainly used for long-range combat.
He roared, and the wind spell burst out, increasing his speed.
The tiger demon pounced on Xue Cainu Hui, its claws like knives, tearing through the air, fast and fierce.
"Okay, getting closer!" The tiger demon was excited when he saw that Xue Cainu Hui did not react and stayed where she was motionless.
His two tiger claws hit Xue Cainu Hui almost at the same time.
Xue Cainu Hui extended a pair of secondary arms and crossed them in front of her to block.
clang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out, piercing the eardrums.
"What?!" The tiger demon's pupils shrank slightly, revealing a look of disbelief.
After the clash, the opponent's mechanical arm didn't break. The tri-colored enamel armor covering his arms shone brilliantly, withstanding the stone-shattering blow without even a crack!
Instead, the tiger demon felt pain in his claws.
There was no expression on Xue Cainu Hui's snow-porcelain mask. Her other pair of arms stretched out like poisonous snakes, poking directly into the gap between the tiger demon's waist and ribs.
"Ugh!" The tiger demon was stabbed and was shocked again. "What a fast speed!"
He took several steps back, lowered his body, and swung out his thick tiger tail.
The tiger's tail lashed towards the puppet's lower body like a steel whip.
Xue Cainu Hui took a step forward, her movements graceful yet swift and agile, and easily avoided it.
She took the initiative to move closer, and her six arms transformed into a phantom. Fists, palms, and fingers accurately struck the tiger monster's joints, waist, and other parts, beating the tiger monster back step by step.
Chen Xi, Pi Fujie and others who saw this scene were all shocked.
They had not expected that the mechanical puppet's melee ability was so powerful and its movements were so agile.
Chen Xi looked at Ning Zhuo, whose ten fingers on both hands moved frequently, and the magic power was pulling Xue Cainu Hui, making various fighting postures, while also possessing the beauty of martial arts.
The tiger demon roared angrily, its claws flying, trying to turn the situation around.
However, Xue Cainu Hui's enamel armor has amazing defensive power, and the coordination of her six arms is smooth and seamless. She is also tireless and feels no pain.
Under Ning Zhuo's control, she resolved, blocked and suppressed the tiger demon's violent attacks one by one!
The tiger demon's huge body looked clumsy and weak in front of Xue Cainu Hui.
The tiger demon's counterattack failed, and he was beaten black and blue. He was horrified: "This robot is so strong, it must be a close combat model! There is no need for me to attack the enemy's strengths!"
He roared, unleashing the might of his magic, shocking the mechanical puppet for a moment.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the tiger demon retreated rapidly and kept some distance.
Ning Zhuo smiled: "You made a wrong choice."
The tiger demon's heart suddenly skipped a beat: "Could it be?"
The next moment, Xue Cainu Hui raised her six arms, pointing her slender jade fingers at the tiger monster.
Within her body, the Warm Jade Wheel, the core mechanism, began to spin at high speed! The three-color enamel flow accelerated, and the golden elixir-level mana transformed into ice, gushing to her fingertips.
Various ice spells were unleashed, forming sharp ice cones and ice spears. At the same time, a biting cold wind blew out, forming a powerful long-range offensive.
Pi Fujie's expression turned quite ugly.
Even Chen Xi and Su Lingkou grew serious. Putting themselves in the other's shoes, they realized that if they faced such an attack, they would have to dodge and not resist head-on!
The tiger demon also chose to dodge.
But Xue Cainu Hui also began to move. Her figure was like flying willow catkins, and she could easily fly several feet.
The tiger demon was chased and beaten, and was soon covered by various frost spells.
Pi Fujie, Chen Xi and Su Lingkou's eyelids were twitching as they watched.
The defensive magic weapons that the tiger demon relied on soon collapsed and were destroyed one after another.
"What kind of a mechanism is this? It's a ranged attack mechanism?! You want me dead? I'll kill you first!" The tiger demon was facing a life-or-death crisis, driven mad with rage, his eyes blazing with blood. He slammed his chest, and the two magic talismans bestowed by Pi Fujie were instantly activated!
A tattoo appeared on his left shoulder, which was the Thousand Scale Leather Talisman.
The talisman emitted a bluish-gray light, and then quickly condensed into a layer of bluish-gray scales all over the tiger demon's body, greatly increasing its defense.
A talisman also appeared on his right chest, which was the Burning Blood Talisman.
For a moment, the tiger demon's blood evaporated, and its speed suddenly increased several times, leaving an afterimage on the spot, and its true body flashed like a ghost.
The frost spell attacks are quite dense, but there are always gaps.
The tiger demon took advantage of these fleeting gaps and paid the least cost to close the distance with Xue Cainu Hui!
Ning Zhuo thought: This is also good.
He was just about to take this opportunity to let Xue Cainu Hui engage in close combat more often to cultivate her spirituality, but Xue Cainu Hui's spirituality suddenly trembled.
A strong desire and impulse followed the magic thread and reached Ning Zhuo.
Xue Cainu Huibiao wants to be independent and wants to fight for Ning Zhuo's control!
Ning Zhuo was stunned for a moment and a flaw appeared.
The tiger demon's blood burned, and it keenly captured the flaw and launched a fierce attack.
His speed and defense increased dramatically, causing his combat power to soar as well.
However, at this critical moment, Ning Zhuo secretly gave up all control, so that Xue Cainu Hui became a punching target and was beaten and attacked by the tiger demon.
"Good!" Pi Fujie clenched his fists and shouted, his face full of ecstasy.
Chen Xi and Su Lingkou's expressions changed drastically.
Chen Xi thought to himself, "As expected! Brother Ning is an expert in the Five Elements, and his knowledge of mechanical engineering can only be considered a sideline skill at best."
Bang.
Xue Cainu Hui fell to the ground.
The tiger demon's attack was successful, and its ferocity intensified. It laughed wildly, "Break it in pieces for me!"
He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and dismantle the puppet in one go!
Ning Zhuo's consciousness had long since receded like the tide, and the five elements of magic power left behind were just a superficial disguise, without any control in reality.
At the moment when the tiger monster's claws touched her body, Xue Cainu Hui, who was lying on the ground, suddenly lit up her eyes.
A chill burst out from the tiger demon's heart. At this moment, he had an idea that even he felt was absurd - this robot idol was alive!
The core component of Xue Cai Nu Hui's body, the Warm Jade Wheel, burst into an unprecedented brilliance! Three hundred and sixty orifices spewed out extremely cold icy mist.
Six palms were directly imprinted on the tiger demon's body.
The cold air was so strong that it turned into a cold current, enveloping the tiger demon.
Click, click, click…
The "Thousand-Layer Scale Skin Talisman" on the tiger demon's body flashed wildly, and the phantom of the scales quickly became covered with cracks and thick white frost!
The blood energy accelerated by the Blood Burning Surge Talisman was rapidly frozen and consumed by the cold air!
The tiger demon was horrified to discover that his speed was plummeting, his strength was fading, and the flow of his demonic power was becoming extremely difficult! He wanted to retreat, but the cold storm trapped him like a quagmire!
The tiger demon roared in despair.
He struggled frantically, burning his blood and essence, and mobilizing his demonic power, but he was unable to break through the increasingly thick layer of ice and the increasingly biting cold.
After a dozen breaths, the tiger demon's roar stopped, and the last sound was a whimper filled with unwillingness and fear.
He was completely frozen in place, turning into a huge ice sculpture that looked lifelike and terrified!
His life force was completely cut off.
Xue Cai Nu Hui slowly ceased her cultivation and leisurely rose, her six arms lowering. Her warm jade-like radiance was restrained, and her tricolor enamel armor shone with a chilling luster amidst the icy mist.
She stood quietly in front of the ice sculpture, her head slightly tilted back, her snow-porcelain mask unable to make any expression, but everyone watching could feel that Xue Cainu Hui was showing a proud look.
