After watching, the surroundings suddenly brightened again. Seeing this news, Ruo Xi was overjoyed and said, "I must have a treasure, right? How do you plan to thank me?" Her enchanting big eyes blinked at Huo Feng.
Huo Feng felt a bit uncomfortable under her gaze and cleared his throat a few times before changing the subject. "Don't get too excited yet. When we fell down, I saw a shadow fall as well. I suspect that Nalan Bo was ambushed by Muxiu. He might have discovered this too."
"In that case, doesn't he have two treasures? That Ice Puppet should have decent combat power. Let's see if we can find it first. Then we'll have a trump card against Nalan Bo, and we won't have to fear him," Ruo Xi suggested.
"Let's hope so. Since we've come this far, we might as well take a chance," Huo Feng said, not one to hesitate.
So Huo Feng put away the round ice block, and the two of them exited the secret room, pushing open the door to walk outside.
When they stepped outside, they found themselves in a familiar corridor lined with glowing orbs on both sides. They walked along the corridor.
Soon, they arrived at a circular arena where ten humanoid ice sculptures stood around the perimeter. Ruo Xi exclaimed, "We're really lucky! These must be Ice Puppets! So many of them; doesn't that mean we have a whole group of bodyguards?"
"But they're all completely still. We don't know how to control them or how to make them fight for us," Huo Feng said with a puzzled expression.
This question left Ruo Xi stumped as well. The two of them approached the ice sculptures to examine them closely, hoping to find a breakthrough.
After looking for a while without any progress, Huo Feng raised his hand and struck one of the ice sculptures with a palm strike, shattering it into ice shards instantly. Huo Feng then seemed to go wild, attacking the remaining nine ice sculptures one by one until they all shattered.
Seeing this scene, Ruo Xi sighed in disappointment and said, "It seems these aren't it; otherwise, they wouldn't be so fragile. They can't even withstand my Second Stage of Pulse Realm attack."
Just then, a circular hole about one meter in diameter suddenly opened up in the center of the arena, releasing an overwhelming aura.
Following that, a humanoid ice sculpture rose up from within the hole, and the powerful aura emanated from this sculpture.
Once this ice sculpture ascended, it charged fiercely at the two of them. Huo Feng and Ruo Xi quickly dodged; however, the shockwave from the attack still caused Huo Feng to spit blood, while Ruo Xi fared slightly better.
It seemed that those previous ice sculptures were merely illusions; this was indeed the Ice Puppet.
The ice sculpture saw that Huo Feng and the others were fine, so it attacked them again. Huo Feng desperately dodged, while Ruo Xi, although better off, was still helpless against the ice sculpture.
Huo Feng became anxious and said while dodging, "This isn't going to work. At this rate, we'll be worn out by it sooner or later. We can't do anything to it, and we have no idea how to control it."
Just then, Huo Feng was knocked back again. Seeing this situation, Ruo Xi realized the seriousness of the problem and said, "I can hold it off for a while. You go ahead first, and I'll catch up after."
Ruo Xi then formed seals with her hands and pushed toward the Ice Puppet. A golden tiger-shaped airflow surged toward the Ice Puppet, which became distracted by Ruo Xi's attack and turned to confront her.
However, Huo Feng was not the kind of person to abandon his friends and escape alone. Yet he couldn't think of a way to deal with the Ice Puppet. In the end, he had no choice but to trust Ruo Xi and leave first, not wanting to become a burden to her.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, he inadvertently saw the Ice Puppet raise its hands to attack Ruo Xi. This sight made Huo Feng stop again. It was at that moment that he noticed there was a round ice block under the Ice Puppet's right armpit that looked just like the one he had obtained earlier. There was also a round indentation under its left armpit, as if something was missing.
Huo Feng suddenly stopped in a daze, which made Ruo Xi anxious. "You need to hurry and go! I can't hold on much longer."
Huo Feng replied, "Just hold on a little longer; I think I have an idea."
He quickly took out the round ice block and tried to inject his Origin Force into it. As his Origin Force entered the ice block, Huo Feng noticed it flowed along the patterns on its surface. When all the patterns were filled with his Origin Force, the ice block emitted a burst of white light upward.
Huo Feng was immersed in this process when suddenly he heard Ruo Xi shout, pulling him back to reality. He looked over at Ruo Xi and saw that the Ice Puppet was about to punch her. She didn't have time to dodge, and Huo Feng panicked as he rushed toward her, regretting not listening to her earlier.
As the Ice Puppet's fist approached Ruo Xi's face and Huo Feng was still ten steps away from her, he cried out in despair, "Ruo Xi!"
At that moment, however, the light from the round ice block in Huo Feng's hand vanished, and the puppet's fist stopped just an inch away from Ruo Xi's face.
Ruo Xi sat weakly on the ground, still in shock from her narrow escape. Huo Feng's tense nerves finally relaxed; if Ruo Xi had been killed just now, he would have blamed himself for it.
After calming himself down, Huo Feng approached Ruo Xi and said, "I'm sorry, Ruo Xi. Because of me, I almost got you killed."
Ruo Xi regained her composure and smiled as she replied, "You actually saved me! Don't think too much about it. What did you use? How could it make it stop?"
"This was taken from that secret room. I only guessed it might be useful because I saw there was an identical ice block under its right armpit and a similar-sized indentation under its left armpit. So I took a gamble," Huo Feng explained as he walked up to the Ice Puppet and placed the ice block under its left armpit. Sure enough, it fused into place. After merging, the Ice Puppet emitted a faint blue glow all over its body; however, this glow flickered out quickly as it retracted its aura and slowly walked up to Huo Feng before stopping.
At this moment, Ruo Xi became excited and said, "Does this mean it has recognized its master? Hurry and command it to see if it works."
"I don't know either. I just infused my Origin Force into the ice block earlier. Let me give it a try," Huo Feng said as he pointed to the surrounding wall and instructed the Ice Puppet, "Go and punch the wall."
The Ice Puppet moved towards the wall and threw a punch.
Seeing that it was effective, Huo Feng also became excited. With such a powerful ally, he no longer worried about Nalan Bo and Muxiu.
However, even though they had obtained the Ice Puppet, Huo Feng and Ruo Xi had no idea how to find the two major Combat Techniques because there were no paths left here.
Ruo Xi was equally at a loss. The two of them searched around the circular area, looking for any hidden mechanisms. Just then, the Ice Puppet reached the spot where it had risen, punched downwards, and then jumped back instantly.
Suddenly, a circular hole about one meter in diameter opened up in the same manner as when it had first emerged, revealing a circular platform inside, just like before.
"Could it be guiding us?" Ruo Xi exclaimed in surprise.
"It seems so. I suspect that person who calls himself Yohuo Mingjun set this up for it. Let's stand on it and give it a try," Huo Feng said as he walked towards the platform first.
"Hahaha! You haven't died yet? It seems my master has treated me well; he even let me follow along. After I kill you, I'll deal with that old thief Muxiu."
Upon hearing this voice, Huo Feng recalled that Nalan Bo had fallen right after him. However, with the Ice Puppet by his side now, Huo Feng was no longer afraid. He turned around and sneered, "You old fool, if I were you, I'd just go commit suicide. You must be a pile of trash like your useless son. Your brother has been crippled by me; one has been killed by me. Now you've been schemed against by your so-called good brother—do you still have the face to live? If I were you, I'd have already slapped myself on the forehead."
Huo Feng struck a nerve with his words. Hearing this, Nalan Bo's face turned as purple as liver. In rage, he said, "It's all because of you damn bastards! I will kill every last one of you!"
Nalan Bo was pushed to the brink of despair and suddenly started laughing maniacally. However, to Huo Feng, his laughter seemed even more sinister.
"Hahaha! I will slowly torture you all until you die in humiliation," he charged towards Huo Feng and the others.
Huo Feng's expression suddenly turned extremely fearful; he was so scared that he couldn't move.
"Hmph! Are you scared now? Don't worry; I'll make sure you die comfortably," Nalan Bo had lost his sanity due to Huo Feng's provocation and fell into a state of madness.
This was exactly what Huo Feng wanted. Just as Nalan Bo's attack was about to hit him, Nalan Bo suddenly collapsed to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. He hadn't even realized what was happening when an "ice man" punched right in front of him. Without time to think further, Nalan Bo rolled away to dodge the punch and struggled to get up from the ground while spitting out another mouthful of blood. If he hadn't lost his mind due to Huo Feng's taunts, he wouldn't have been caught off guard by an attack from behind.
At this moment, Huo Feng walked over to the Ice Puppet and said to Nalan Bo, "So you're the useless one, unable to defeat such a mere ice sculpture. How pathetic."
Having taken a full-force punch from the Ice Puppet without any defense, Nalan Bo was already suffering from severe internal injuries. At this point, he had calmed down and was no longer in the mood to bicker with Huo Feng; instead, he was thinking about how to escape.
Seeing that Nalan Bo remained silent, Huo Feng realized he could no longer provoke him and ordered the Ice Puppet to finish him off.
As the Ice Puppet charged at him again, Nalan Bo, severely injured and lacking strength, desperately tried to dodge.
For a long time, the Ice Puppet relentlessly pursued him like a battle machine, while the injured Nalan Bo was on the verge of exhaustion. At this moment, Nalan Bo stopped dodging and stood still, waiting for the Ice Puppet to approach. When the Ice Puppet got close, Nalan Bo flushed and struck out at it.
"Ghost Shadow Demon Palm!"
Nalan Bo was determined to shatter the Ice Puppet, but he miscalculated its strength; this Ice Puppet was one of the treasures of this place and was far from weak.
Nalan Bo's palm did not inflict any significant damage on the Ice Puppet; it didn't even halt its advance. Instead, an icy hand struck Nalan Bo on the forehead, causing his head to split open like a watermelon, instantly killing him.
In that moment, Huo Feng was even more astonished by the performance of the Ice Puppet.
