Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 1460: Chapter 596: Decapitation!

Ning Zhuo first took out an Elixir Pill and swallowed it in front of everyone.

Fire-attribute—Flame Washing Gold Contamination!

His Divine Sense stirred, Mana poured forth, and most importantly, in the Fire Element Heart Temple, the Fire God Statue suddenly opened its eyes.

On the surface, Ning Zhuo took out the Five Elements Life and Death Fan and gently fanned himself.

Under the Five Elements Life and Death Technique, his Five Elements Mana rapidly transformed into pure Fire-attribute, and the scale of his Mana instantly swelled more than sixfold.

The next moment, his Mana plummeted, massively consumed, turning into a surge of flame.

The flame was blazing yet pure, arising from within Ning Zhuo’s body and swiftly encircling his entire form; wherever it passed, all impurities in his meridians were burned away.

The flames surged out through his body, orange-red fire climbing onto the Golden Light Necklace and the Green-White Jade Ring.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the golden "rust" on the Golden Light Necklace rapidly melted away.

The golden varnish on the Green-White Jade Ring was also washed off by the flames.

The orange-red flames spread downward, quickly covering the entire Green Forest Python Chariot. Many parts that had previously been transformed into gold were now baptized and restored to their original appearance.

Flowing Gold Guest: ??!!

Seeing this scene, his eyes widened so much they were about to pop out of their sockets from shock.

What in the world is this?!

A Fire Purification Spell was being cast by Ning Zhuo? And it just so happened to directly counter his Gold Touching Technique!

Thus, Ning Zhuo turned peril into safety.

Cao Gui let out a long, turbid breath.

His words carried little weight, so he didn’t dare shout; he could only rejoice inwardly.

Sharing his mood were Jiang Xiaobian, Patchwork Sun, Zhang Dadan, Ahuo, Lu Zeng, Che Zhuzi, Gu Huaijiu and the rest.

"Good!" At this moment, someone voiced what everyone was thinking.

For a time, this drew many glances.

It was Pi Fujie!

Pi Fujie’s eyes shone. Seeing Ning Zhuo unleash this Fire-attribute Spell, he was greatly delighted, and at the same time confirmed that his choice to swallow his pride, turning foe into friend, had been correct.

The better Ning Zhuo fought now, the more it proved his own wisdom, and the better he could explain himself to his family.

So Pi Fujie’s joy came straight from the heart!

Shen Xi, Kong Ran and the others, seeing Pi Fujie like this, all had somewhat peculiar expressions on their faces.

Shen Xi, constrained by his status as a great clan scion, had to maintain composure, while Kong Ran, being a Confucian Cultivator, would not lightly show his stance. As a result, Pi Fujie—someone still rather distant from Ning Zhuo—ended up being the most fervent supporter on the sidelines.

Ning Zhuo used the Fire-attribute Spell to wash the area around himself, then controlled the orange-red flames to spread across the battlefield.

Wherever the flames passed, the Gold Element was directly burned away and faded. The golden brick floor and the golden branches and leaves were all restored.

The corner of Flowing Gold Guest’s eye twitched, and he couldn’t help but demand, "What Spell is that?"

Ning Zhuo spoke out, "Since you ask, this is ’Flame Washing Gold Contamination’. I had not expected that this eccentric Spell I painstakingly learned would aid me so greatly at this moment of my life!"

This, of course, was just rhetoric.

How could Ning Zhuo not know to use the Mechanical Flying Birds to wear him down?

He had gathered intelligence on Flowing Gold Guest in advance and deliberately let his own Defense Treasure be struck by the Gold Touching Technique in the early stages of battle, precisely for the sake of countering it.

Ning Zhuo possessed an extremely profound Five Elements Realm; this was his greatest reliance. It could be used not only to design Fire-attribute Spells, but also to comprehend Flowing Gold Guest’s Gold Element Techniques.

But unlike before, Flowing Gold Guest used Innate methods; the foundation of his Gold Touching Technique was his Innate trait—Golden Liquid Returning Pill Body!

Therefore, under normal circumstances, for Ning Zhuo to devise a Fire-attribute Spell that countered it would take a very long time.

But that was only under normal circumstances.

Ning Zhuo, who possessed the Luoshu Book Pages, did not belong to the category of normal.

A damaged Taoist Artifact was still a Taoist Artifact in the end, an existence that in essence surpassed any Spiritual Treasure!

With the aid of the Luoshu Book Pages, Ning Zhuo’s calculation speed was terrifying, and he very quickly designed the Flame Washing Gold Contamination Technique that directly countered the Gold Touching Technique!

Of course, reaching this step still wasn’t enough.

Because this Spell was freshly created, Ning Zhuo had never used it before.

But he had the Fire Element Heart Temple, his Heart Spirit residing in the temple; once opened, it was subtle to the utmost. Any Fire-attribute Spell, even one completely unfamiliar, could be used correctly and swiftly.

At this moment, Ning Zhuo was the God of Fire!

To wield Fire-attribute methods was like breathing, like drinking water, a talent seemingly inborn!

Layer upon layer, these factors caused Ning Zhuo’s Flame Washing Gold Contamination Technique to sweep away all obstacles the instant it appeared, turning the situation around.

The Nascent Soul Cultivators outside the field had been watching all along; they sighed in their hearts, and some used their Divine Sense to communicate in secret.

"This Flame Washing Gold Contamination Technique truly is the nemesis of the Gold Touching Technique. This brat Ning Zhuo’s luck is quite something."

"If he didn’t have powerful luck, how could he possibly have become the master of the Nanming Fire Furnace?"

"By common logic, he’s only at Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage and mainly cultivates Mechanical Techniques; his Fire-attribute Spells shouldn’t be this powerful, able to swiftly wash away the Gold Touching power. What Pill did he just take?"

"I just caught a hurried glimpse; it seemed like an ordinary Nourishing Spirit Pill? Heh."

At this point, the Nascent Soul Cultivator himself chuckled. In his view, that was impossible! It was merely a Blinding Technique used by Ning Zhuo.

Thus he sighed, "Ning Zhuo is full of tricks; Nanming Village being established is the best proof. These little disguises in battle, he uses them with consummate ease!"

Little did he know, the Pill Ning Zhuo had taken really was a Nourishing Spirit Pill, quite ordinary, used for daily care of the Heart Spirit.

This was Ning Zhuo going against the grain of Daoism, an external explanation—explaining why the Fire-attribute Spell he unleashed this time had such tremendous power.

There was nothing else for it; once the Divine Statue in the Fire Element Heart Temple opened its eyes, the amplification to Fire-attribute Spells was enormous!

"He truly has a Fire Purification Spell; my luck is a bit bad." Flowing Gold Guest strove to calm the ripples in his heart-lake.
