Chapter 709: Studying Little Hui
"Won!" Su Su Lingkou cheered happily.
"The combat power of this mechanism puppet is so strong!" Shen Xi's heart was shaken.
He watched the entire battle process, so he knew very clearly: this tiger demon had Foundation Establishment peak cultivation, and his combat power far exceeded ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.
His original form was a fierce tiger, and his physical fitness was superior to others. Although the magic tools on his body were a bit lacking, not matching his cultivation and combat power,
but considering he was a rogue cultivator and a demon cultivator, this situation was also very normal.
This was a prosperous era of cultivation, the world of the human race.
The two demonic talismans brought by Pi Fujie at least increased his combat power by more than five times on the original basis!
The "Thousand-Layer Scale Skin Talisman" could be completely regarded as an excellent defensive magic treasure. The "Burning Blood Galloping Talisman" gave the tiger demon wings, and his speed soared. This speed was not just the speed of foot movement, but also included the speed of punching, turning, etc., as well as the speed of blood energy circulation in the body, which could be called a comprehensive increase in speed.
The Shen family and Pi family were mortal enemies, and Shen Xi knew the power of the "Seven Talisman Demonic Skin Sutra" best.
Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, Shen Xi was worried and specifically reminded Unlike Ning Zhuo to pay attention to this point. In the battle, when he saw the tiger demon suppress Snow Color Girl · Hui into a disadvantage with two demonic talismans, he wasn't surprised at all.
"But in the end, the tiger demon was completely suppressed by this mechanism puppet!"
Shen Xi exclaimed in his heart.
The final freezing completely demonstrated Snow Color Girl · Hui's overwhelming combat power. This was genuine Jin Dan-level combat power!
Shen Xi couldn't help but guess: "Which side is Unlike Ning Zhuo's backing force? Actually leaving him a Jin Dan-level mechanism puppet."
He couldn't help but associate which forces in the Flying Cloud Kingdom were good at mechanism arts.
"Is it the Ban family? Zhu Xuanji Sword Gate? Juzi Hall? Or Zhixia Mechanism City?"
Pi Fujie's face was as dark as water.
He stared fixedly at the head-raised Snow-Colored Maiden Hui, painfully realizing: if he were to fight her, he would also fall into a bitter struggle.
"Fortunately, this person's ability to control the mechanism is not good; the early stage of the battle was quite smooth, but in the later stage, when the tiger demon used two demonic talismans, he was flustered and made a major mistake."
"But even so, this mechanism puppet should not be underestimated!"
"Damn it."
Pi Fujie gritted his teeth secretly.
Although he concluded: Unlike Ning Zhuo, as the controller of the mechanism, was the weakest link, and if he were to go to war with him in the future, he would definitely choose to attack Unlike Ning Zhuo first. But he also had to admit that Unlike Ning Zhuo was a strong enemy!
Unlike Ning Zhuo put away Snow Color Girl · Hui, but didn't go down, instead looking at Pi Fujie outside the field: "Come, your subordinate is already dead. Next, it's your turn."
Unlike Ning Zhuo provoked strongly again.
Pi Fujie's gaze flickered, and his fighting spirit fell by a large margin again.
In his view, Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't take action personally, and he himself wasn't good at controlling the mechanism puppet, clearly using Snow Color Girl · Hui to consume and probe the enemy's situation.
Actually, Pi Fujie also had this intention—he sent the tiger demon to fight, also to probe Unlike Ning Zhuo's bottom line.
As a result, the tiger demon didn't beat Snow Color Girl · Hui and died directly.
Pi Fujie clearly understood in his heart: it wasn't that the tiger demon was useless, but that the mechanism puppet brought out by the opponent was too strong!
"If I accept the battle, I must first deal with this mechanism puppet, and it will inevitably be a bitter battle, and my bottom line will be leaked."
"Even if I win, what do I have to deal with this big-headed cultivator?"
"A wise man doesn't do it!"
Pi Fujie thought of this and immediately sneered: "I don't accept your challenge."
Unlike Ning Zhuo laughed loudly, with a look of mockery: "Is the Pi family's family style like this? Are you the facade of the Foundation Establishment of the family? You are simply losing face for the family!"
"Rest assured, I will widely publicize your cowardice."
Pi Fujie shook his head, his face iron-blue, but his attitude of refusing to fight was quite firm: "A great man can bend and stretch, can advance and retreat; you can edit me however you want. My Pi family's prestige, how can it be shaken by one or two rumors?"
Unlike Ning Zhuo saw Pi Fujie didn't take the bait, but wasn't surprised.
He had already grasped the other party's temperament; deliberately showing toughness was to let the other party know the difficulties and retreat.
Unlike Ning Zhuo turned to Shen Xi: "Brother Shen, this tiger demon's body is planted with two demonic talismans of the Pi family. I will give it to you; if you study it,
you will definitely be able to learn the secrets of the "Seven Talisman Demonic Skin Sutra"."
Pi Fujie still remained unmoved, revealing strong self-confidence: "You can dismantle it as much as you want; if you can easily learn the mysteries of my clan-suppressing technique, my Pi family wouldn't have been able to remain prosperous until now!"
After saying this, he turned and left, quite straightforward.
Having lost the first round, what else was there to do if he didn't leave? Stay and continue to be humiliated by the other party's words?
Seeing him leave, Shen Xi and Unlike Ning Zhuo had no way.
After all, this was the total mountain gate of the Wanxiang Sect, and everyone wanted to join this super sect, so naturally, they had to follow the sect rules.
The Wanxiang Sect's sect rules constrained the fighting between cultivators, requiring martial arts performance to make a decision.
But Pi Fujie refused to accept the challenge and didn't care about his reputation, so Unlike Ning Zhuo couldn't use force.
Pi Fujie walked out of this Martial Arts Hall, walking like the wind, murderous intent overflowing, a breath of "no strangers allowed."
The tiger demon died, and Unlike Ning Zhuo was so tough, giving him an account to the family behind him.
But having lost the first round, if he lost the second round, it would be troublesome.
Next, he must find a way to regain the scene.
"The family supports me, and I have an advantage in dealing with Shen Xi; after all, there are more subordinates."
"But I didn't expect Shen Xi to form a strong alliance."
"I have to deal with two people, so I'm a bit thin."
"Hmph! He, Shen Xi, can make friends with experts, can't I?"
"This time, the mechanism Ban family also sent a handsome junior to join the Wanxiang Sect. The Ban family has always been extremely eager for excellent mechanism creations,"
"especially this guy Ban Jie, who is greedy by nature and likes to collect powerful mechanisms..."
Pi Fujie began to calculate how to counterattack. Inside the martial arts arena, Unlike Ning Zhuo again gifted the tiger demon's body to Shen Xi; he wasn't just saying polite words.
Shen Xi waved his hand and saluted: "Thank you, Brother Ning, but this is your war trophy, obtained by your hard work in battle; how can I have the reason to accept it?"
Out of selfishness, since Unlike Ning Zhuo had already formed a feud with Pi Fujie, he, Shen Xi, wouldn't accept the tiger demon's body.
The tiger demon was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and its value was not great.
If he accepted it, the nature of this martial arts performance would change. From Unlike Ning Zhuo and Pi Fujie forming a feud, to Unlike Ning Zhuo standing up for Shen Xi and the Shen family.
Pi Fujie taking the initiative to retreat already showed his fear of Unlike Ning Zhuo. If Unlike Ning Zhuo publicized the matter of Shen Xi accepting the tiger demon's body in the future, then Pi Fujie would very likely go down the slope and have a proper reason to give up dealing with Unlike Ning Zhuo and focus on dealing with Shen Xi and his group.
This was the rule of the righteous path.
Shen Xi continued to explain: "Brother Ning might not know, Pi Fujie's words just now indeed have their truth. My Shen family and Pi family have had grudges for a long time, and the casualties between each other are countless. The bodies of Pi family cultivators collected by my clan are not few."
"My clan has long studied the "Seven Talisman Demonic Skin Sutra," and this tiger demon's body can indeed glimpse the secrets of the "Seven Talisman Demonic Skin Sutra," but it has no value to my clan anymore."
"Brother Ning might as well study it; according to Brother Ning's comprehension and knowledge, there will definitely be inspiration."
Just these explanations were still not enough.
Shen Xi, worthy of being a genius of a big clan, received elite-level education from childhood, and he took out another jade slip: "Brother Ning is interested in the Jiugong Array. Although I have met Brother Ning for a short time, we are extremely compatible. Brother Ning stood up for me, this friend, this time, please allow me to gift this school notebook, and I implore Brother Ning not to refuse."
Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes flashed with brilliance, immediately discerning Shen Xi's intention in his heart.
He immediately praised the Shen family's attainments in the Jiugong Array, affirmed the friendship between himself and Shen Xi, and finally accepted this jade slip.
This matter was settled, and both Shen Xi and Unlike Ning Zhuo felt that their friendship had deepened by another layer.
Shen Xi invited Unlike Ning Zhuo to go together to observe others' martial arts performances.
This was originally Unlike Ning Zhuo's purpose for coming here, but encountering Pi Fujie was an accident, and even more unexpected was Snow Color Girl · Hui's performance in the battle.
This broke Unlike Ning Zhuo's original plan, so he politely declined Shen Xi's invitation, saying he couldn't wait to study the school notebook Shen Xi gifted.
Shen Xi naturally wouldn't force Unlike Ning Zhuo to stay and could only say goodbye reluctantly.
Watching Unlike Ning Zhuo leave, Su Su Lingkou was a bit worried: "Cousin, you gave Fellow Daoist Ning the school notebook, will it leak the Shen family's array mysteries?"
Shen Xi smiled slightly: "Naturally, there are some exclusive mysteries of my Shen family, but not many."
"Cousin, don't worry, I thought it over carefully before gifting it."
"Unlike Ning Zhuo could have endured a bit and avoided this battle. Because I definitely wouldn't retreat, and expressed the intention of a life-and-death battle earlier."
"But he still stood up and used his actions to show his sincerity in being close to me; how can I avoid him?"
Shen Xi's gaze was deep: "And to express gratitude, I must show my sincerity."
"I don't know Unlike Ning Zhuo's backing force, but judging from this battle, it must not be small, and the foundation is not shallow."
"Therefore, only by taking out what he must lack can it be foolproof."
"Right now, only the school notebook is the most suitable."
"With my Shen family's unique insights into the Jiugong Array, as long as Unlike Ning Zhuo studies it, he will inevitably have more cravings."
Su Su Lingkou clapped her hands and praised: "I know, cousin, this is the bait we set!"
Shen Xi laughed loudly: "Haha, that's right."
"Among the ten classic static arrays, the Jiugong Array is especially complex. My school notebook is my three-year record. For ordinary people to study it, without family teachings, the time will be even longer."
Su Su Lingkou smiled: "Cousin, I have already seen the scene of Unlike Ning Zhuo holding the school notebook and asking you for advice."
Shen Xi laughed loudly again.
Unlike Ning Zhuo returned to the rented cave dwelling and released Snow Color Girl · Hui for the first time.
Divine ability—Human Life Suspension Thread!
He directly used the strongest manipulation means to forcefully connect to Snow Color Girl · Hui's spirituality.
At the same time, he stretched out both hands, and his ten fingertips condensed five-element suspension threads, connecting to the mechanism puppet's body joints.
Snow Color Girl · Hui immediately struggled, but didn't really break free.
Unlike Ning Zhuo felt the opponent's impatient emotions immediately through the Human Life Suspension Thread.
Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he immediately made a judgment: "She has no response to the Human Life Suspension Thread and doesn't want others to control her."
"Her spirituality has indeed reached the Spirit Agility Stage."
Unlike Ning Zhuo had read "On Spirituality," knowing that spirituality is divided into four major stages, namely the Death Spirit Stage, Spirit Birth Stage, Wisdom Spirit Stage, and Divine Spirit Stage.
Among them, each stage is divided into five small stages.
Previously, Snow-Colored Maiden Hui and Snow-Pivot Imperial Ning Xie were both in the Primate Stage of the Spirit Birth Stage, their spirituality ten-tenths complete and endlessly regenerating.
After the primate stage, it was the Spirit Agility Stage.
In this stage, spirituality would show obvious and intense emotions, act on its own, and get rid of the cultivator's control.
Unlike Ning Zhuo already had experience in this aspect.
Previously in the Fire Persimmon Immortal City, Yuan Yuan Dasheng fell into this stage. At that time, he walked out of the city and came to the old master's secret burial place, sitting withered for two days and one night.
"In this stage, one must follow the emotions of spirituality and cannot forcefully control it."
"Only by following the hair can spirituality recognize the master and truly be controlled by me!"
Regarding this point, Unlike Ning Zhuo was secretly worried.
After all, Ning Ning Xiaohui died because of him.
Unlike Ning Zhuo had no choice.
At that time, it was either you die or I die.
"Snow Color Girl · Hui's spirituality comes from Ning Ning Xiaohui. According to common sense, spirituality should not retain the memories of the living. But Yuan Yuan Dasheng could 'remember' the secret burial place of his old master. Will Ning Ning Xiaohui still treat me as an enemy?"
It was precisely because of this worry that Unlike Ning Zhuo had previously limited her to the mechanism part "Floating Ice White Jade Hand" instead of the mechanism puppet. Therefore, after Ning Ning Xiaohui showed the characteristics of the Spirit Agility Stage, Unlike Ning Zhuo had concerns in his heart and didn't continue to stay in the Martial Arts Hall, but hurried back to confirm the situation.
"Human Life Suspension Thread is a divine ability; she is difficult to resist, and didn't even notice it. Her emotions have no murderous intent or hatred towards me, but she is indeed impatient with being controlled by me."
The reality was not the worst kind, which made Unlike Ning Zhuo secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Since she is impatient, I should reduce control over her in this sensitive stage, and even give her temporary complete freedom."
"But how should her emotions be satisfied?"
Unlike Ning Zhuo fell into deep thought.
He had three major mechanism puppets. But the spirituality of Buddha Doctor · Meng Meng Yaoyin and Meng Meng Ye Hu exceeded the Spirit Agility Stage from the beginning. Only Yuan Yuan Dasheng's case had important reference value.
But Yuan Yuan Dasheng went to the old master's secret burial place on his own to vent his strong feelings of grief and remembrance.
Yuan Yuan Dasheng's initiative was very strong, but when placed on Snow Color Girl · Hui, she was motionless.
Unlike Ning Zhuo withdrew the five-element suspension threads, leaving only the Human Life Suspension Thread to secretly control, and this mechanism puppet still remained motionless in place.
Thoughts rose and fell in Unlike Ning Zhuo's spiritual sea: "In this, there is actually a clear context. Yuan Yuan Dasheng's loyalty to the old master, his temperament is like this, so there is a strong emotion of grief and sighing."
"What was Ning Ning Xiaohui's temperament like when she was alive?"
Unlike Ning Zhuo gradually had the answer.
Before his eyes appeared the battle with the tiger demon again. The memory froze on the proud appearance of Snow Color Girl · Hui, who acted freely and tilted her head slightly after freezing the tiger demon to death.
Thus, the answer in Unlike Ning Zhuo's heart received a powerful proof.
Unlike Ning Zhuo interrupted his thoughts and looked around: "I need to re-rent a cave dwelling." ===== CHAPTER 710 =====
