Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 375: Chapter 20: Learned (Asking for monthly passes, third update)

“So, Meng Zizhong changed his tactics once again, adopting the Earth Python Technique. Since his offensive moves were ineffective, he chose to use control methods to restrict the Black Wind Tiger Demon, striving to maintain the initiative himself.”

“I’ve learned something.”

Ning Zhuo carefully reflected and constantly pondered the choice of tactics by Meng Zizhong. The latter was continuously probing, quickly adjusting the types of spells through the outcomes, thereby always keeping control of the battlefield in his hands.

Effacing himself in the role of Meng Zizhong, Ning Zhuo asked himself, “If I were Meng Zizhong, could I achieve this?”

He shook his head inwardly.

On the surface, what Meng Zizhong achieved was unremarkable and ordinary.

But ordinary things are not necessarily easy to accomplish.

Ning Zhuo was self-aware, knowing he lacked combat experience and skilled spellcasting, which made it easy for him to lose rhythm.

Although it seemed there was no close combat, the frequency of encounters was actually quite high.

Ning Zhuo, if he were just a bit slow, would think for a moment and miss his opportunity, allowing the Black Wind Tiger Demon to force its way to the front.

Once this situation arose, Ning Zhuo’s position would become very passive.

“Meng Zizhong is clearly deeply versed in Earth Element Magic, having studied it for many years. His Earth Spike Technique, with its tricky and precise angles of attack aimed at the lower parts, specifically targets the enemy’s weaknesses. Truly a role model for our generation.”

“I’ve learned, I’ve learned.”

The wave of attacks from the Earth Spike Technique left a deep impression on Ning Zhuo. He secretly noted it down, determined to thoroughly learn this technique, to absorb others’ strengths and transform them into his own, to become even better.

The Black Wind Tiger Demon roared, its roar filled with agony.

While maintaining the Earth Python Technique, Meng Zizhong forcefully squeezed his spirit, controlling his Golden Core and bursting with Mana to cast the Earth Spike Technique.

Compared to before, this casting of the Earth Spike Technique was especially difficult and slow.

It was like two strong men wrestling, neither having spare strength for additional attacks.

Earth Spike, Earth Spike, Earth Spike!

The first Earth Spike hit the Black Wind Tiger Demon’s thigh, breaking its leg bone.

The second Earth Spike aimed to pierce the Black Wind Tiger Demon’s eye socket, but it narrowly dodged, slicing off half of the skin on its cheek.

The third Earth Spike targeted the immobile chest of the Black Wind Tiger Demon, aiming straight for the heart!

If this strike hit, the Black Wind Tiger Demon would either die or be crippled.

At the crucial moment, the Black Wind Tiger Demon unleashed its potential and deployed Meat Shield Blood Swallowing Technique.

The muscles around its chest suddenly thickened, forming a vortex shape that caught the Earth Spike’s attack. After a few moments of deadlock, the muscles, acting like a living thing, exerted force and directly crushed the tip of the spike!

The Black Wind Tiger Demon cried out, wildly exerting force, gradually propping up its arms.

Sounds of cracking continuously emanated from the Earth Python, like a large bow repeatedly being strung.

Cracks spread rapidly across the entire body of the Earth Python.

Eventually, the Black Wind Tiger Demon suddenly swung up its arms, breaking the two Earth Pythons into more than a dozen pieces.

The Black Wind Tiger Demon roared skyward, breaking free and charging at Meng Zizhong.

“What a pity,” the Fox God sighed, “Meng Zizhong’s mastery of the Earth Python Technique is limited. If he could perfect the Earth Dragon Skill, he would definitely have been able to trap the Black Wind Tiger Demon.”

Sun Lingtong, watching the charging Black Wind Tiger Demon, said, “Its Gigantification Technique, in fact, is also not first-rate.”

“The reason it’s effective in battle mainly stems from its cultivation of Meat Shield Blood Swallowing Technique.”

“This Demon Skill is best at developing flesh and blood, allowing it to increase its defense even after gigantification.”

“The battle isn’t over yet!”

Meng Zizhong, with a stern expression, kept retreating while creating distance and casting the Earthen Wall Technique, doing his utmost to delay the Black Wind Tiger Demon’s momentum.
