"That's strange. I heard that the War Puppet and the master's spirit have a special connection. If the War Puppet is destroyed, the master will also be severely injured. Why does she still have the ability to escape from under my nose?"
Broc muttered to himself. At that moment, the deformed "metal" had not been completely destroyed. It flew out and charged toward the back of his head without fear of death. Broc turned his head and the metal paused. As its speed slowed down, it quickly turned into ice. Then, Broc threw a punch at it. The ice and metal instantly shattered into pieces, and there was no more movement.
"Troublesome War Puppet!" Broc frowned, "Oh yeah, this is just a bronze puppet. With Christina's ability, she should at least be using a silver puppet. Could it be that she can control more than one War Puppet?"
War Puppet was the strongest bloodline talent of the Asmodeus Royal Family of the Shadow Empire. It was a powerful battle machine created by combining talent with secret techniques. Just like the bronze puppet just now, it didn't know fatigue or pain. Unless it was completely destroyed or the master died, it could continue fighting.
The levels of War Puppet were bronze, silver and gold. It could be passed down to the next generation as a family treasure. The strongest War Puppet was the legendary secret treasure of the Asmodeus Royal Family – the Immortal Dark Gold Puppet. It would never be destroyed. Unfortunately, it was lost thousands of years ago.
In the Asmodeus Royal Family, it was rare to be able to awaken the War Puppet talent and control one puppet. Those who could control two or even more puppets were definitely geniuses among geniuses. The current Dark Shadow Empress, Catherine the Great could control four gold puppets at the same time. In addition to her own combat power, even the strongest Raizen the Great in the Demon Realm had to be wary of her.
Christina was only a Great Demon King now, but she could possibly have the powerful talent to control two puppets. In the future … Broc's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The mist that drifted away due to the huge impact gradually gathered again. Broc's figure could no longer be seen in the mist.
Chen Rui could only hear the whistling sound in his ears. His body was carried by Christina for a long time. To prevent himself from feeling dizzy, he could only close his eyes. Suddenly, Christina's body trembled, and she stopped abruptly. Chen Rui opened his eyes and saw Christina clutching her chest and coughing a few times. She was obviously injured.
After a brief pause, Christina did not stop and continued sprinting until she reached a rather secluded hillside in the dense forest. She then stopped and quickly set up her surroundings.
Six metal pillars appeared in the surroundings. The pillars were engraved with layers of totem-like symbols, which seemed to be some kind of special magic equipment.
"Miss, are you hurt?" A thought flashed through Chen Rui's mind and he took out a bottle of Healing Potion. "This is for you. The Healing Potion concocted by my teacher is much more effective than that of ordinary Master Pharmacists."
"Thank you, but it's okay." Christina shook her head. She was polite but cautious. "That War Puppet should have been destroyed by Broc, so I suffered some damage as well. But it's alright."
"Miss Christina, although I don't understand the grudge between you and Broc, please forgive me for being straightforward. You don't seem to be a match for Broc in your current state, and he will definitely continue to chase after you. I have a suggestion. Return the 'Dark Will' to me first, then I can activate the teleportation and escape. "
Christina mused for a moment, but did not comment. Instead, she asked, "Is it just Dark Will? What about the Gold Crystal Magic Lock? "
"To show my sincerity, the magic lock can wait until we are completely out of danger before unlocking it. If I teleport and escape alone, I won't be able to survive in a scary place like the Silent Night Wetland. "
"Aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my word?" Christina's eyes behind the veil seemed to have seen through Chen Rui's thoughts. "With your intelligence, you won't put yourself in such a passive and dangerous situation. When you made the deal with me earlier, you mentioned getting the ring first before unlocking the magic lock … So can I boldly assume that you have a special way to unlock the magic lock? "
Can you not make such an assumption! Chen Rui felt a chill in his heart. He did not expect Christina to not panic at all in such a critical moment of being chased. Instead, she was terrifyingly calm. He almost revealed his trump card.
"If I could unlock the magic lock, I would have escaped when you left the Red Leaves Forest!" Chen Rui pretended to be unhappy. "I almost died in Broc's hands just now. To save my life, I made such a request. If you doubt even this, then I have nothing to say. I can only hope that Miss will show off her power and defeat Broc, then kill me to silence me. "
"Richard, please forgive me for being paranoid. If you were me, surrounded by all kinds of schemes and conspiracies all day long … You would also be as cautious as me. Moreover, when dealing with a wise person like you, I can't help but think a little more. Don't forget, Christina is a woman after all. Being paranoid is a common problem for women. "
Christina's disguised praise made Chen Rui unable to keep a straight face. However, he did not agree with the last sentence: If there are more women like you, the men in the Demon Realm can only be bystanders.
"Alright, now is not the time to discuss the assumption just now. I will seriously consider your conditions. " Christina sighed. "Moreover, you are thinking too simply. The teleportation range of the 'Dark Will' is limited. The Eye of Incubus of the Leviathan Royal Family has a special lock-on ability. Broc must have used some method to lock onto us. Even if we can teleport out temporarily, we can't really get rid of his tracking. You are the owner of the 'Dark Will'. You should know that it is a kind of random teleportation. If we are unlucky, we may not even be teleported out of Broc's sight. Moreover, we can only use the ring once every 24 hours. We can't waste it. We must use it at the crucial moment. "
It seemed that Christina was quite familiar with the Dark Will. Moreover, Chen Rui knew that she had never let down her guard against him.
"I wonder if you can get in touch with the teacher you mentioned? Although I am still skeptical about this matter. But this may be the only way. "
Chen Rui shook his head. "Actually, I have tried to contact the teacher in the magical pouch space. However, I have not contacted the teacher for a long time. It is very likely that the teacher is meditating. It is training by sealing off all feelings. He will not leave until he has reached a certain level. "
"As expected …" Christina glanced at him faintly but did not say anything more. "Then there is only one way now … give me the remaining three fruits."
Chen Rui was shocked and hesitated. Christina knew what he was worried about. She raised the royal ring on her right hand and said solemnly, "I swear by the royal ring that before I complete this mission and return to the capital, I will not harm this man in front of me. If I go against this, my body and soul will forever be destroyed and tortured in pain."
Only before returning to the capital? It seemed that this noble lady was polite on the surface, but she still wanted to kill him. Chen Rui smiled bitterly and said, "Do I not need to say my name when I swear?"
Christina said faintly, "The name Christina is not suitable for swearing, just like Richard."
Only then did Chen Rui know that Christina was actually a pseudonym. It seemed that even Broc did not know this mysterious noble lady's real name. The reason she said that was to show her sincerity.
Chen Rui knew that he did not have much of a choice. If he fell into Broc's hands, he would definitely die. He did not hesitate anymore and agreed. He then asked, "Miss, will there be any negative effects if you consume all of them in such a hurry?"
"I don't know. To me, this is the most important moment. I cannot fail." Christina took the spiritual fruit and released the magic tent. "Remember, I will be entering the tent to absorb the power of the fruit. It may take a long time. Wait outside. No matter what happens, do not approach me. Otherwise, I would rather go against the oath and kill you! "
Chen Rui knew that she had reached a critical juncture. If she had not encountered a strong enemy like Broc, she would not have risked everything. He nodded solemnly.
The two of them discussed for a while. Christina looked at the three Jiu Tian Xuan Spiritual Fruits that Chen Rui had passed to her. She seemed to have made up her mind and walked into the tent.
An hour had passed. Chen Rui felt that time was passing like a year. However, he did not waste this hour. Instead, he used the Spiritual Energy Conversion skill on the Gold Crystal Magic Shackles.
The Gold Crystal was indeed the strongest Magic Crystal that was above the Blood Crystal. The Gold Crystal Magic Shackles must have been made of the highest quality Gold Crystal. After converting a pair of leg shackles, he had already obtained 500,000 Spiritual Energy. His total Spiritual Energy had reached 1.6 million. He had a lot of Spiritual Energy at the moment, but there were not many places he could use it. If he were to maintain the disguise, he would need one Spiritual Energy per minute, which would be more than 1,400 a day.
However, Chen Rui did not convert the Gold Crystal Magic Shackles on his hands completely. He only destroyed a part of it. After the magic circle that was used to imprison him was destroyed, the power that was imprisoned returned to his body. On the surface, his hands and feet were still wearing the shackles. However, in reality, the shackles on his feet were transformed by the Disguise skill, which was equivalent to clothes. Most of the shackles on his hands were missing. They were only hanging on his wrists. Even if it was Christina, it would be difficult for her to notice.
Now that he was approaching the final moment, although Christina did not feel like she was lying to him, he could not put all his hopes on an oath no matter what. Once he got the Dark Will, he would immediately teleport away.
If he had not seen Christina move freely when she absorbed the fruit and her power was not restricted, Chen Rui would have the urge to take advantage of the recovery of his power to force the mysterious noblewoman to hand over the ring. However, the instructions just now were not empty words. If he dared to act recklessly, Christina might really kill him.
Another hour had passed. If it was just one fruit, Christina would have finished absorbing it. Now that she was absorbing three at the same time, the difficulty was not as simple as increasing from one to three.
At this moment, Broc's figure finally appeared in the dense forest.
