It displayed exquisite martial arts, either defending or deflecting, stubbornly resisting all sorts of magic artifacts and treasures, and fought its way right up to Qi Bai.
With relentless attacks! It completely disregarded its own existence.
"The problem is—it's just a mechanical puppet, what life does it have to care about?!" Qi Bai was beaten once again.
But this time was different from before.
He was in full possession of his faculties, and although his combat power was suppressed, he could still exert his current maximum capabilities.
However, Yuan Dasheng could tear apart a half-step Golden Core level Runaway Fire Snake with his bare hands when he was alive; now, his mechanical body was even stronger than during his lifetime, and he had abundant blood qi to fully unleash his Demon-infused Bloodline Technique!
Yuan Dasheng possessed Golden Core battle strength! And he was far less suppressed by the array than Qi Bai!
Qi Bai was retreating step by step, utterly defeated.
"Damn it, my golden robe is shattered, unable to provide me any protection. How is this mechanical puppet fiercer than those Golden Core body cultivators?!"
The rhythm of the battle was firmly controlled by Yuan Dasheng.
The advantage gradually turned into a winning position.
Qi Bai spat blood and was gravely injured once again.
He desperately wanted to shake off Yuan Dasheng, but he couldn't.
The Immortal City Great Array had already been activated, prohibiting the use of any Escape Void Talismans.
Qi Bai's magic artifacts, treasures, and various spells were mostly aimed at spirits. This was highly awkward when used against Yuan Dasheng!
"Brother, is this the mechanical monkey you made?" Sun Lingtong watched, dumbfounded.
Ning Zhuo himself was also in disbelief, "It seems...yes."
He hadn't expected that Yuan Dasheng's real combat power would be so high!
Ning Zhuo thought to himself, "It seems this time, it wasn't just waking up its spiritual nature, but reaching a new, higher level. Yuan Dasheng's martial skills are more nimble and natural, as if he had never died."
Yuan Dasheng swung his fist and flattened Qi Bai's forehead.
He latched onto Qi Bai's body, twisted, and broke Qi Bai's left arm backward.
Yuan Dasheng's monkey tail entwined, causing Qi Bai to lose his balance; he extended his leg in a horizontal strike, directly crushing Qi Bai's knee!
Qi Bai's magic artifacts and treasures struck Yuan Dasheng, riddling him with wounds.
Both sides clashed fiercely.
But the issue was, Qi Bai had a flesh and blood body, whereas Yuan Dasheng was just a mechanical shell.
In such an exchange, Qi Bai was at a significant disadvantage!
He wanted to distance himself, he tried every means possible, but all efforts ended in failure.
Qi Bai specialized in controlling ghost generals, while he himself used spells, magic artifacts, and other means to attack from a distance. This was his primary way of fighting.
He wasn't a body cultivator, and his main defense depended on his golden robe. But after being depleted by Ning Zhuo multiple times, it was already shattered.
In combat with Sun Ning, Qi Bai had no weaknesses. But facing Yuan Dasheng, his weaknesses immediately became apparent.
"If this continues, I'll die!"
Qi Bai never expected the situation to take such a sharp turn for the worse.
At this moment, he was forced to the edge of the cliff, with no choice but to fight to the death.
Infernal fire engulfed his body!
He burned with pale blue infernal fire all over, the flames chillingly cold, capable of incinerating everything to ash.
Qi Bai frantically activated his Insight into the Netherworld, and cast the Yellow Springs spell upon himself.
The Yellow Springs sizzled under the burn of the infernal fire, producing a large amount of steam, temporarily protecting Qi Bai.
But Yuan Dasheng was not so fortunate, his entire body materials rapidly deteriorating under the infernal fire.
"This is bad!" Sun Lingtong exclaimed in alarm, highly anxious.
Yuan Dasheng's combat power was significantly affected, rapidly declining.
If Qi Bai got a chance to catch his breath, the previous scenario would surely repeat.
Yuan Dasheng tilted his head back and let out a long howl!
His entire skeletal frame suddenly shone, emitting brilliant golden light.
Protected by the golden light, Yuan Dasheng was almost reduced to a skeleton by the infernal fire.
But he still moved freely!
Immortal Aptitude—Righteous Golden Firmness!!
This was the first time Ning Zhuo had seen Yuan Dasheng use his Immortal Aptitude.
"Why can Yuan Dasheng still use his Immortal Aptitude in this new mechanical body?" Ning Zhuo's doubts grew.
The terrifying infernal fire could not consume Yuan Dasheng!
He rushed again to Qi Bai, their faces practically touching.
Yuan Dasheng boldly used his martial art's ultimate move.
He ferociously thrust forward.
Striking a critical point, Qi Bai was deeply horrified, his heart filled with icy dread.
"Wait...!"
Sun-Breaking Hand!
Yuan Dasheng had painstakingly practiced countless times when he was alive, crushing wooden balls, stone balls, iron balls...
Now, a human ball!
What would a Golden Core amount to? Even an immortal would have to hold their forehead in agony.
Moreover, Qi Bai wasn't a body cultivator.
Qi Bai's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets, his face turned deathly pale, and he let out a prolonged howl: Argh—!
If he were like Han Ming, practicing the Immortal Corpse Rebirth Technique and the like, it would be another story.
But now...
Pain, excruciating pain, unbearable pain!
He passed out from the sheer agony!!
