Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 1517: Chapter 624: Ning Zhuo, You Are Bound to Lose!

The Double-Pupil Golden Eagle behind Zhao Ni was startled by the zither sound, its feathers shaking violently. Zhao Ni held the eagle’s body, having recognized it; a peculiar light filled his eyes. "This boy’s music skill has improved too quickly!"

Ye Qingming gently blew away the tea foam while observing the battle, feeling puzzled, "His musical skill is surprisingly proficient, with such deep accomplishment?"

She understood sound rhythm and, after listening for a moment, recognized that amidst Ning Zhuo’s chaos was a hidden order with a unique rhythm. Amidst the chaos, there was a distinct musical beauty!

Flowing Gold Guest listened to the frantic zither sound, and agitation rose abruptly in his heart.

The Chaotic String Split Sound Fork was originally used to break Ning Zhuo’s piano sound and disrupt the Mechanical Bird Group.

But at this moment, he realized that although his split sound could still suppress the Mechanical Birds, it could not completely cut off Ning Zhuo’s maneuvering, and even forced Ning Zhuo’s zither sound to become sharper.

This feeling made him familiar and uncomfortable.

He realized that he was once again being used as a trial stone, utilized by the opponent to hone his skills.

"Just a mere Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage, yet looking down on me, a Golden Core Cultivator!" Flowing Gold Guest’s anger surged even more, hesitating no longer.

Beneath his chest garment, the golden-black divine pattern suddenly lit up!

It was a pattern like a beast’s mouth, with interlocking golden teeth at the edges and a deep, bottomless black in the center.

With a low shout from Flowing Gold Guest, the divine pattern opened and closed like a living creature; black and golden light spread from his whole body in all directions, quickly covering half of the Martial Arts Arena.

Swallowing Gold Divine Domain!

The golden threads in the cloud stone ground, used to stabilize array patterns, suddenly dimmed slightly. The metal axles, gears, and clips inside the Mechanical Birds all emitted faint whimpers. The gold qi within these metallic spirit constructs was fiercely extracted, flowing like streams back to the beast-mouth divine pattern on Flowing Gold Guest’s chest.

The situation on the Martial Arts Arena suddenly changed.

Black and golden radiance surged like a tide, engulfing broken bamboo, iron pieces, golden needles, and Mystic Wheels. It was not as fiercely fiery as thunder fire, nor as sharply keen as blade light, yet it carried an extremely unsettling greed, as if an invisible mouth had opened in the center of the arena, slowly chewing all gold and iron substances.

The group of Mechanical Flying Birds was instantly thrown into confusion.

Flowing Gold Guest charged again; wherever he went, the Mechanical Birds could not hold their formation.

Ning Zhuo’s gaze grew slightly more serious.

He slapped his Storage Waist Belt, and The Humbleheart Broken-Blade Guard landed in the arena.

This Golden Core Level Puppet, upon appearing, blocked directly in front of Ning Zhuo. Its chest and abdomen were hollow, its qi mechanism humble; its double arms unfolded into blades, surfaces glowing with a grayish-white chill.

Flowing Gold Guest arrived with the Chaotic String Split Sound Fork crashing down, The Humbleheart Broken-Blade Guard’s left arm parrying while the right arm counter-struck, with the folded blade cutting back like wind cutting through snow, straight towards Flowing Gold Guest’s wrist bone.

Clang!

The clash of gold and iron resounded, making the cloud stone ground tremble.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The Humbleheart Broken-Blade Guard consecutively blocked Flowing Gold Guest’s three charges. Every time Flowing Gold Guest tried to bypass the guard and approach Ning Zhuo, he was intercepted at a strange angle by the folded blade. The blade did not seek hard confrontation, but targeted the turning points of force, nearly slashing open Flowing Gold Guest’s wrist several times.

In the seats of Nanming Village, Situ Xing’s eyes brightened: "Worthy of the Golden Core Level."

In the seats of Flowing Cloud Peak, Qiu Lei shook his head, having probed into the inheritance intelligence of the Empty Valley Sound Green Mechanism Tube, feeling complacent in his heart: "It also has metallic spirit constructs."

In the Swallowing Gold Divine Domain, the metal nodes within The Humbleheart Broken-Blade Guard began having their gold qi extracted.

Initially, only the blade’s sheen dimmed slightly, and then the rotation of the shoulder and elbow joints showed a slight delay.

The delay was very minor, but with Flowing Gold Guest so close, he immediately noticed it.

He directly changed tactics.

No longer trying to circumvent The Humbleheart Broken-Blade Guard, but forcing it into repeated direct confrontations.

The Chaotic String Split Sound Fork struck down again and again, split sound like rain, divine domain continually devouring, extracting gold like a tide.

With every block by The Humbleheart Broken-Blade Guard, the metal nodes within loosened once; with every rotation, the blade’s spirit light was stripped away by the divine domain.

Ning Zhuo had to allocate more mana and Divine Sense to manipulate The Humbleheart Broken-Blade Guard in its battle with Flowing Gold Guest.

He used the brief moments gained by The Humbleheart Broken-Blade Guard, while simultaneously raising his hand to cast a sheet of firelight.

Fire-attribute Spell as an auxiliary attack!

Flowing Gold Guest sneered, spraying golden blood from his palm to dye the ground, activating the Gold Touching Technique.

A layer of gold contamination emerged on the cloud stone ground, and several fallen mechanical accessories, contaminated by golden blood, immediately twisted and solidified on the ground, turning into a golden hue.

The golden light spread towards Ning Zhuo and the Green Forest Python Chariot.

Flowing Gold Guest used the old trick again!

Ning Zhuo took out an elixir pill and swallowed it.

The elixir qi went down his throat, and with it, the intent of fire rose. To outsiders, it seemed like the elixir pill was assisting the fire, but in reality, it concealed the true secret of his Fire Element Heart Temple within.

Flame Washing Gold Contamination Technique!

Crimson firelight poured from Ning Zhuo’s palm, like a river of fire washing over himself and the surrounding Martial Arts Arena.

The flames did more than burn; they carried a refining quality, scouring along the gold-contaminated lines inch by inch. The mechanical accessories tainted by the Gold Touching Technique sizzled, the gold contamination gradually burned into black smoke, and the cloud-stone ground slowly revealed its original color.

In the previous two battles, the Flame Washing Gold Contamination Technique was extremely effective against Flowing Gold Guest, but this time, its effect was present yet not as immediate.

The Golden Blood Pill Pearl within Flowing Gold Guest quivered, new strength arising, gold contamination continuously spilling out.

Inside the Martial Arts Arena, the gold contamination just washed away by the flame was replenished.

Seeing this, Ning Zhuo switched from defense to offense, launching a fierce Fire-attribute Spell attack on Flowing Gold Guest’s body.

Flowing Gold Guest swallowed a Fire Extinguishing Pill, the elixir pearl dissolving upon entry, with its cold medicinal power spreading over the surface of the golden blood, forming a layer of pale platinum film.

The flame burned up his forearm, only causing the platinum film to sizzle, unable to penetrate the golden blood body in one breath.

Flowing Gold Guest then took the Flame Avoidance Blood Protection Pill.

The elixir qi entered like a cold edge into the blood, protecting the blood circulation deep within the golden blood. With the two medicinal powers overlaying, the flames could only scorch the flesh, slightly boiling the golden blood, unable to disrupt his foundation as it did in the previous two battles!
