Chapter 234: Chapter 221: I Got (Beaten) for Ning Zhuo (Please Vote)
“Hey, Ning Zhuo, what are you doing?”
“At a time like this, you’re still exploring the Immortal Palace!”
“Don’t you know the difference between important and urgent matters?”
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had been watching Ning Zhuo’s every move, anxiously pacing back and forth in the main hall.
“Hurry up, you need to deal with Ning Xiaohui!”
“Dragging it out, if you delay any longer, she’ll discover our secret.”
“I’m so impatient; it’s driving me crazy!”
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit growled, flames indeed sprouting from its head.
When it grew agitated or angry to a certain extent, parts of its body would emit flames.
If the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit were Ning Zhuo, it would have immediately used the Life Hanging Thread to take care of Ning Xiaohui! But for now, Ning Zhuo behaved as if nothing was wrong, leisurely exploring the Magma Fairy Palace!
This drove the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit to the brink of madness; it wanted to grab Ning Zhuo by the ear and loudly question him, “Are you dragging it out because you want to die?!”
However, it ultimately did not dare to do that.
In fact, it even lacked the courage to talk to Ning Zhuo again.
It was quite worried that it might accidentally say too much and be exposed by Ning Zhuo!
While the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was anxious and indecisive, Ning Zhuo had already reached out and touched the door to the next room.
There were no rewards for passing through the door, nor any bonus Blood Qi.
This was somewhat unexpected for Ning Zhuo, “No Blood Qi, how am I supposed to use the Blood Path Diagram Plate?”
The next moment, he stepped forward with Yuan Dasheng, officially entering the second-to-last level of the Demon Sect pathway.
Thousands of blood-red eyes glared at them!
Ning Zhuo was shocked. He had never seen so many Kung Fu Dolls.
Hundreds of them stood scattered, all drawn by the noise at the doorway.
This was an army of Mechanical Puppets!
Each doll had blood-red eyes or was shrouded in a layer of Blood Qi, exuding a Qi Refinement aura from level one to nine.
Ning Zhuo’s eyes lit up, “So the source of Blood Qi for this level is not the door but these dolls.”
At the sight of Ning Zhuo and the Golden Blooded War Ape – Dasheng, the Mechanical Puppets launched into action, charging at them.
Hundreds of puppets moved simultaneously, like a tidal wave, giving Ning Zhuo a strong sense of oppression.
“My lord, please retreat, I will ensure your safety.” Yuan Dasheng stepped forward, blocking Ning Zhuo like a city gate.
His sturdy body, reinforced with materials from the Buddhist Sect pathway, was far superior to before.
The crucial point was, he had been meticulously repaired by Ning Xiaohui, appearing brand-new, with bright red muscles and exposed golden bones, exceptionally imposing and reliable.
The Kung Fu Dolls that came close were all knocked away by Yuan Dasheng.
Yuan Dasheng’s martial arts were extraordinary, using both fists and feet, he was unstoppable.
Bang, bang, bang.
Many Kung Fu Dolls were struck flying, some flung far away, some directly falling apart, and some crashing into their comrades.
However, the number of Kung Fu Dolls was overwhelming.
Yuan Dasheng had Spiritual Power but no Blood Qi, he was not in his optimal state.
Concerned about Ning Zhuo’s safety, facing the tide of enemies, he could only retreat slowly, step by step.
Ning Zhuo saw this and immediately cast a spell.
Flames, frost descended, rock slabs, and rolling logs covered the puppets, but instead, it triggered the Blood Qi defenses of the Kung Fu Dolls.
One by one, they became encased in Blood Muscle Armor, significantly mitigating the spell’s damage.
“This is bad.” Ning Zhuo’s heart sank, realizing his actions had backfired, enhancing the puppets’ strength.
“Yuan Dasheng had been using purely his martial prowess, defeating many puppets without allowing them to use their Blood Qi.”
“This level might discourage the use of spells. Pure hand-to-hand combat seems to be the right approach?”
Ning Zhuo had many conjectures in his mind.
But in terms of close combat, it was Ning Zhuo’s weak spot.
When he first reached the third level, he had been thoroughly beaten by a Kung Fu Doll. In the end, he had to rely on the Embrace Ice Technique to extricate himself and pass smoothly.
Ning Zhuo had always wanted to improve his combat skills, but unfortunately, he had been too busy to find the time.
Ning Zhuo stopped using spells, and the Demon Blood Puppets also ceased using Blood Qi.
Yuan Dasheng was just one entity, and a large number of dolls surrounded them from all sides.
Ning Zhuo had no choice but to engage in battle.
His basic combat skills were solid; he could handle two or three dolls simultaneously.
But now, he faced attacks from dozens of dolls from all directions.
Ning Zhuo was forced to constantly move, relying on maneuver warfare to buy time.
Seeing more and more Demon Blood Puppets around him, the enemy ranks thickening, and the space for Ning Zhuo to break through and maneuver shrinking, Ning Zhuo’s anxiety increased.
“Will this attempt to clear the level end in failure?”
Ning Zhuo sensed impending defeat, but he was also deeply puzzled.
He had traversed the Buddhist Sect pathway and completed it fully.
“Compared to the second level of the Buddhist Sect, the difficulty here in the Demon Sect is far greater, by hundreds of times!”
“This is clearly unreasonable.”
At this moment, a large group of Mechanical Puppets pounced on the Golden Blooded War Ape – Dasheng.
One by one, the puppets emitted Blood Qi, which formed Blood Tendons, reinforcing their bodies and increasing their strength.
They piled onto Yuan Dasheng like a human pyramid, pinning him down.
Then the Blood Muscle Armor on their bodies fused together, forming an immense Blood Qi, which converged to seal Yuan Dasheng entirely, creating massive Blood Tendon Shackles.
