Chapter 14: The Puppet of the Agency

Seeing this, Chen Xiaobei repeated his tricks, wanting to deceive Zu Feibai with illusions. He secretly drove the Void Mirror and adjusted his position slightly.

He knew that Zu Feibai was very experienced, and if he used the illusion too much, he would definitely be able to detect something wrong from the touch of the twin swords. Therefore, only a slight change, a slight deception.

If Zu Feibai suddenly resorted to a method that he didn't know, it would definitely be because of the wrong direction, leaving him a chance to buffer.

However, Zu Feibai's shrewdness is still above his imagination.

As soon as his illusion was cast, Zu Feibai immediately felt the fluctuation of the illusion, and immediately came to his senses, and smiled: "It's an illusion again!"

As he spoke, he used three sharp and vicious sword moves one after another, and cracked the illusion spell performed by Chen Xiaobei at once.

Zu Feibai didn't stop at all, seized the opportunity of Chen Xiaobei's panic, took out a large square wooden box from the storage bag, and threw it towards Chen Xiaobei.

Chen Xiaobei was already on guard in his heart, and when he saw the wooden box flying towards him, he immediately flashed to the side.

I saw that the wooden box suddenly made a crisp sound in the air, and it cracked open from the middle, and then quickly assembled and deformed in the air, which was dizzying.

"Puppet!"

Chen Xiaobei's face changed greatly, the puppet technique is a course that can only be learned in high school, but he is well-read and knowledgeable, and he has long learned about the relevant knowledge of puppets from books.

He didn't know when the puppet technique had existed, and it was not mentioned in the book, but the reason why it arose was because of the promotion of the first saint Li Changsheng.

Perhaps because of his personal liking, the first saint Li Changsheng was particularly keen on making all kinds of mechanism puppets, and he had made countless mechanism puppets, the most famous of which was the Transformers series.

It was precisely because of this preference of the Ancestor Saint Li Changsheng, coupled with his various whimsical ideas, that he actually drove the great development of this puppet technique.

At first, because of following the trend, many people chose to refine mechanism golems, but then people found that mechanism golems were very marketable among low-level monks.

Because the materials for refining the puppet do not need to be very precious, the lowest-level puppet can be refined, even ordinary wood, and the refining skill does not need to be very high, except for the most critical core part, other parts of the ordinary Qi cultivator can be refined.

Because of this trait, puppetry, it quickly became widespread and became a compulsory course in high school.

Today, puppets are widely used, not only in battle, but also in ordinary homes.

Families with a slightly better family background basically have a puppet in every house, responsible for the daily housework of the family, responsible for playing with children, accompanying adults to train, etc., which is very versatile.

The puppet that Zu Feibai took out at this time was naturally not an ordinary household puppet, it was used for fighting, and it could be seen from his confident eyes that the combat power of this puppet was not low!

By the time the wooden box fell to the ground, it had already been transformed and assembled into a humanoid puppet, holding a machine talisman sword, and killing Chen Xiaobei with a fierce momentum.

"Hahaha......" Zu Feibai laughed wildly, "I advise you not to struggle, this is a military combat puppet soldier, which is widely used in the battle against demon beasts, and the monks who refine qi cultivation can't even cut it at all, so you better give up!"

When Chen Xiaobei heard this, his face became even more gloomy, if it was really as Zu Feibai said, this puppet was a military combat puppet soldier, and with his current strength, he really couldn't cut it.

This puppet soldier is obviously of the melee type, and the biggest feature of the melee type is that it is as strong as iron, and each of its boards is carved with a "solidification charm", which is very hard.

Either you have a cultivation above the foundation, or you have a sword, otherwise you can't scratch or cut it at all.

However, Chen Xiaobei is the kind of person who will never give up if he doesn't see it with his own eyes, or he can't say that he can't give up on the Yellow River, and he won't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin.

Anyway, he plans to try.

Chen Xiaobei changed his body technique, came to the side of the puppet, and stabbed a sword at the joint of the puppet's shoulder.

He thought that although this puppet soldier was claimed to be extremely strong, the joints must be very fragile, and he would definitely be able to attack the joints of the puppet soldiers.

Throat!

With a muffled sound, the rune on the puppet soldier flashed away, intact, and his action was not hindered in the slightest, still swinging the machine rune sword and slashing towards Chen Xiaobei.

"Hahaha......" Zu Feibai laughed, and couldn't help but sneer, "You are really naïve, the military puppet soldiers are thousands of years of improvement, and there are such obvious shortcomings in the joints, can't those experts see it? Not only are the materials used in the joints very different from the others, but there is also more than one layer of depiction of the talismans." ”

Chen Xiaobei ignored his taunts, and while avoiding Zu Feibai and the puppet soldiers, he thought about a solution to the dilemma.

Fortunately, it may be because he doesn't use it often, Zu Feibai is not proficient in the use of puppet soldiers, and he is not very silent in cooperating with puppet soldiers, which makes him last so long.

But as time passed, Zu Feibai gradually became familiar with the use of puppeteers, and at that point he would have no escape.

In fact, he knew that if he used the sword technique "Changhong Guanri" of the White Rainbow Sword Technique "Turning Ten Swords into One Sword", it was very likely that he would be able to cut the puppet soldiers, but in that case, he would spend a lot of real energy and energy, and he would definitely not be able to fight Zu Feibai again.

And, even then, he would have to pierce the core of the puppeteer with a single sword in order to dethrone it. Otherwise, it will only weaken the combat effectiveness of the puppet soldiers.

Just as he was meditating on how to destroy the core of the puppet soldier by not using the "White Rainbow Penetrating the Sun", a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he remembered that the core of the puppet soldier was mentioned in the book as equivalent to the human soul and was the key to the puppet soldier's self-operation, which was called the Yuan Luo Zhu.

The spirit of the soul is infused with the spirit of the living being, which is not only convenient for the owner to control, but also allows the puppet to have a certain amount of intelligence.

Because of the importance of the Elemental Beads, the masters who make the Puppets often place the Puppets in a safe place that is not easy for the enemy to detect.

Although the puppet soldiers of the military are standard, there are many positions of the Yuan Lu Zhu, and ordinary people can't tell where the Yuan Lu Zhu is from the outside.

Chen Xiaobei naturally didn't want to test the location of the Yuan Luzhu through a tentative method.

Because each generation of puppet soldiers, the reserved position of the Yuan Soul Bead is different, and so far there have been many generations of military combat puppet soldiers, and the positions can be described as strange and different.

Therefore, it was impossible for Chen Xiaobei to know the location of Yuan Luzhu through temptation.

What he thought of was that the most critical point of the puppet soldiers was not the Yuan Soul Bead, but the spirit of the creatures in it!

And he just happens to have a solution to the soul of the living!

Seeing Chen Xiaobei stumbling and embarrassed under the siege of him and the puppet soldiers, Zu Feibai's heart couldn't help but feel endless happiness.

It actually made me use my killer weapon. Every time you use this puppet soldier, you need a spirit stone!

And for a demon hunter like him with poor qualifications, every spirit stone is precious, and his own cultivation is not enough, how can there be a waste of extra spirit stones.

However, it's all worth it, as long as you kill Chen Xiaobei and make Zhou Gongzi happy, then there will not be a lot of spirit stones in the future!

Thinking of the happy scene in the future, Zu Feibai's obscene face couldn't help but show a smug smile.

Just when he was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take down Chen Xiaobei in one fell swoop, his eyes suddenly saw that Chen Xiaobei's expression seemed to change.

I saw a solemn look on Chen Xiaobei's face, his eyes revealed an emotion that seemed to be indifferent, but not indifferent, his hands kept pinching his fingers, and there were words in his mouth, and a cold cold air spread from his body.

Zu Feibai's heart gave birth to a trace of vigilance, but that's all, he didn't think that Chen Xiaobei had anything that could threaten him, and that exquisite swordsmanship was already beyond his expectations.

However, Chen Xiaobei's eyes made him look very unhappy.

Obviously, he didn't have any emotions, but he was just unhappy, feeling that he seemed to be no different from the flowers and plants around him in his eyes, which made him feel a feeling of extreme indifference from Chen Xiaobei from the bottom of his heart.

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs!

That's what he thinks! Who does he think he is, comparing himself to the sky?

Zu Feibai's heart was full of resentment, and when he took out the sword, he couldn't help but be even more ruthless, leaving no way out.

At this moment, the spell in Chen Xiaobei's mouth suddenly paused, and then his eyes flashed, and Zu Feibai suddenly felt a sense of danger in his heart.

However, before he could think about whether to stop the attack and prepare for defense, he saw a strange hand with a pitch-black body suddenly stretching out from behind Chen Xiaobei.

As soon as the strange hand appeared, it immediately turned into a phantom-like existence.

And in the next moment, the strange hand instantly appeared in front of the puppet soldier, as if there was no obstacle at all, and suddenly stretched into the puppet soldier's body.

Zu Feibai secretly said that it was not good, although he didn't know what kind of magic power it was, but Chen Xiaobei showed it at this time, and it must have an extraordinary effect.

Sure enough, after the strange hand pulled out a black ball of light from the puppet soldier's body, the puppet soldier seemed to have suddenly lost its main backbone, and suddenly stopped in place, motionless.

Almost at the same time, the sword in Chen Xiaobei's hand suddenly increased in power, blocking his sword at once, like a rainbow light, straight towards his chest.

Zu Feibai had just gotten used to the state of the puppet soldiers assisting him, when suddenly the puppet soldiers lost their function all of a sudden, making him lose his mind for a moment.

Caught off guard, he was directly forced into an extremely dangerous situation by Chen Xiaobei's long-planned sword "Changhong Penetrating the Sun".

At this moment, a spiritual light appeared on Zu Feibai's chest, blocking in front of the "Changhong Piercing Sun".

Seeing this, Zu Feibai suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was obscene and cautious, because he was worried that one day he would suddenly be attacked without having time to react, so he bought a talisman from the market at a high price, which could be automatically activated in case of danger.

Just when he was glad that he had a vision, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and when he looked down, he saw that the talisman had been broken, and Chen Xiaobei's long sword pierced through his chest, and blood slowly overflowed from the wound.

This talisman is a fake and shoddy product!"

These were the last words that came to Zu Feibai's mind, and then he fell into endless darkness.

After killing Zu Feibai, Chen Xiaobei found that there were two changes in his body.

One is the sword of the past and the present in his own hands. Originally, after repeated infusion of hardware essence, coupled with the infusion of his own evil qi into it that time, the sword of the past and present has become sharp, but after killing Zu Feibai, the sword of the past and the present has converged its edge, and the sword body has revealed some simplicity.

He guessed why.

During this time, in his spare time, he often picked up the "True Scripture" and studied it, and he read the "Heavenly Craft" every day, and the knowledge in it happened to explain this change.

Before, he had a whimsical idea to use the sword of the present and past to strengthen the essence of hardware and improve the essence of the sword itself. Then forge it with civil and military fire to improve the quality of the sword, in a vain attempt to refine the ordinary standard long sword into a peerless sword.

In fact, he took this idea too seriously, if it was really as he thought, then the world would not be so different, only distinguished by the amount of essence!

The difference between ordinary materials and natural materials and treasures lies in the precipitation of time, and only materials that can withstand the washing of time are the real treasures of heaven and earth.

Just like a small grass, even after 10,000 years, it is still a small grass, but after 10,000 years, Ganoderma lucidum has become 10,000 years old, which is an extremely precious medicinal material.

He once saw from a novel circulating on the Internet of illusion that the protagonist had obtained a cave magic weapon that could adjust the flow of time, so he let out wild words, "With the cave magic weapon, even a small grass can become a peerless medicinal material"!

He scoffed at the time, and now he thinks that he has made the same mistake, thinking that as long as he keeps pouring hardware essence into the sword, he can improve the material of the sword.

In fact, if you think about it, you can know that the owner of "Tiangongshu" has long known that "the things in the world are divided into the advantages and disadvantages of the essence contained in it, the more prosperous, and the less declined, the superior is strong, and the inferior is weak", but why did he not mention in the book that the quality of the material is improved by the method of hardware essence infusion?

Of course not, because it's not a long-term solution.

Perhaps in a short period of time, it can improve the essence contained in the sword, so that the sword qi is sharp and unstoppable, but the so-called too rigid and easy to break, the result of this can easily exceed the tolerance of the material, resulting in damage.

How can it not be damaged? Only by making the hardware essence in the sword introverted, turning the floating into condensation, and not causing self-harm, can it last for a long time.

Fortunately, Chen Xiaobei was not ignorant of this, he knew that calcination with civil and military fire would improve the quality of the hardware essence in the sword, so it could last for a long time.

It was mentioned in "Heavenly Gongshu" that "alchemy with fire" is an excellent way to improve the quality of weapons, because the five elements of fire overcome gold, and when calcination, the essence of hardware either becomes restrained or dissipates in calcination.

As the saying goes, real gold still needs to be tempered by fire.

Therefore, fire alchemy is the best way to refine weapons, and it is also the most commonly used method in society at present.

Another solution is sharpening, the so-called "sharpening of the sword", by constantly colliding with other weapons, gradually exposing the edge to restraint.

Just as people only grow after going through all kinds of things.
