Chapter 111 Powerful Puppet

Tian Ling must have been quite pleased with his methods. He introduced them complacently,
"Fortunately, when Liu Liang was about to die, I used several rejuvenation talismans to keep him alive. I tortured his soul for a whole day and night, and finally learned this secret from him..."

At this point, Tian Ling paused, glanced at Mo Juren's expression, and then continued,

"I dare to ask Your Majesty to help me get rid of the danger of the Heart-Eating Curse because of my dedication. I am willing to offer you the secret of the Seven-Piece Box in return for your forgiveness."

Mo Juren remained calm when he heard this, staring at Tian Ling and saying,

"Haha, I am not a person who goes back on my word. I said I would help you break the curse if I got the Seven-Treasure Box. How could it be false? Throw the box to me first."

Tian Ling also stared into Mo Juren's eyes. There was a silent exchange of glances between the two sides for a moment. Finally, Tian Ling slowly lowered her head and whispered,
"In that case, then let's do as Your Majesty wishes. Take it and look at the box!"

After saying that, he threw the wooden box directly at him. However, Mo Juren sensed murderous intent from his posture, so he retreated instead of advancing, and quickly retreated several steps, allowing the seven-piece box to fall on the ground where he had just stood.

With a "bang" sound, a black animal-shaped doll fell to the ground along with the seven-piece box.

With a flash of white light, the animal-shaped doll swelled up as it landed on the ground, and suddenly turned into a mechanical puppet leopard made of black wood, and pounced towards Mo Juren.

Mo Juren had already dodged backwards, but he was still no match for the puppet leopard's pounce, so he had to do a somersault and barely avoided its claws in mid-air.

The puppet leopard landed on the ground and immediately turned around. There was a series of clicking sounds from the mechanisms on its body. Fortunately, its speed was slightly slowed down.

After Mo Juren landed, he ran directly towards Tian Ling in front of him, intending to capture the leader first and kill him with the heart-eating insect.

Unexpectedly, Tian Ling was well prepared. When he threw out the Seven-Piece Box, he had already activated a golden shield, which completely protected him.

Under the protection of the golden shield, Tian Ling made a spell in his hand and said loudly,

"Soul Separation Technique, start!"

As the voice fell, Tian Ling's body suddenly softened and she fainted on the ground.

A ball of gray light floated out, suspended in the protective shield, and began to drift unsteadily.

This scene was so familiar that Mo Juren felt something was wrong.

Who would have thought that Tian Ling was so decisive. In order to avoid the influence of the 'Heart-Eating Curse', he actually left his body and separated his soul!
Just like when Mo Juren took over another body, after Tian Ling's Soul Separation Technique separated the physical body, he was no longer affected by the pain. He could then hide safely in the golden shield and command the puppet leopard to continue attacking Mo Juren.

After the puppet leopard turned around at a slightly slower speed, it immediately made another charge, stretched out its sharp black front claws, and grabbed Mo Juren's back.

Before the sharp claws arrived, a cold wind blew through his back. Mo Juren hurriedly used the Luoyan Step to save his life. His muscles suddenly contracted and he flashed to the side. Only then did he avoid the second attack of the puppet leopard!
Under the control of Tian Ling's soul, the puppet leopard was very flexible. Seeing that the second attack was avoided by Mo Juren with the strange Luoyan step, it turned around and swept its iron whip-like tail towards Mo Juren not far away.

Mo Juren took out the Xuanguang Sword in a hurry, and quickly injected his magic power into it, instantly activating the "Shenchun Array Pattern", and used the black hardened sword body to calmly block the incoming leopard tail. The sword light and the leopard tail collided, making a deep collision sound, and with a "dang", the two were surprisingly equally strong, and Mo Juren, who was dodging in mid-air, was carried away by the huge force, rolling in the air and swept several feet away.

Mo Juren fell to the ground in danger, fortunately he was blocked by the Xuan Guang Sword. If he was hit by the tail, even with Mo Juren's fifth level of Elephant Armor Skill, which was stronger than Tie Nu's physical strength, he would probably feel very uncomfortable.

As the distance between the two sides widened, Mo Juren saw that the puppet leopard turned a little slowly, so he hurriedly drove up the Xuan Guang sword and transformed it into a light and agile formation pattern.

With a loud shout of "Go!", the silver sword light pierced straight towards the head of the puppet leopard. It didn't dodge at all and was stabbed right as soon as it turned its head.

But only a "ding" sound was heard, and a black light flashed on the puppet leopard's body. The sharp sword tip left only a shallow mark on the leopard's head before it was bounced away.

Mo Juren hurriedly drove his sword back and grabbed the flying Xuan Guang sword, while at the same time throwing out two ice talismans in succession, trying to delay the movement of the puppet leopard.

But these two primary ice cones were just like tickling the puppet leopard, and did not affect its movement speed at all.

The puppet leopard ignored these attacks. It faced Mo Juren again, but suddenly opened its mouth wide, with white light flashing in its mouth, as if it was preparing to burst out something.

Mo Juren, who was far away, quickly held the sword in one hand and raised the black iron shield in the other, trying to protect himself.

Unexpectedly, before the small shield had fully grown, the puppet leopard's attack had already been brewing. A beam of white light suddenly spurted out from it and hit Mo Juren.

The black iron shield blocked half of the white light, but the huge impact force of this half was enough for Mo Juren to lose control of it, and the small shield flew out of his hand.

The other half of the white light hit Mo Juren directly between his waist and thighs. Fortunately, at this moment, a light flashed in his arms, and a stream of Guiyuan Qi automatically opened up to form a full-body protective shield, which protected Mo Juren well and prevented him from suffering any harm.

Mo Juren couldn't imagine that this puppet leopard actually had two means of attack, long and short range. He had to change his response strategy and give up dodging.

Taking advantage of the protection of Guiyuan Qi and the fact that it had no time to launch a second white light attack, Mo Juren did not retreat but rushed to the front of the puppet leopard, and then used the extreme movement of Luoyan Step to lie on its back unexpectedly.

The leopard's tail was too weak to sweep across its back, its claws couldn't reach its back, and the white light on its head couldn't be turned around. For a moment, the back of the puppet leopard became the safest place.

Mo Juren hugged the leopard's body tightly, took advantage of the situation to pick up the Xuan Guang Sword, and used all his magic power to activate the Shen Hun Formation, turning it into a dark and heavy iron sword, and madly bombarded the back of the puppet leopard's head.

Mo Juren smashed down with his sword, and a burst of black light emerged from the body of the puppet leopard, blocking the damage, but the leopard's head was not damaged at all, as if this degree of damage had no effect on it at all.

But Mo Juren refused to believe it and continued to smash the leopard's head with his sword.

Because he discovered that the protective black light on the puppet leopard came from a device between its chest and abdomen.

However, this device was slowly shaken by his blows one after another, and gradually weakened...
