The ever-changing star starts with a rice cooker.

Chapter 173 Beating Up the Undead (4,000 words)

"Tickets are on sale! Tickets are on sale! Impromptu Deathmatch: Death Knights vs. Shapeshifters. An ancient, fair deathmatch, a rare sight indeed! Ten World Coins will get you the best spectator seats, buy yours now!"

Unlike the original deathmatch, today's "Fair Deathmatch" actually sells tickets, and the arena is no longer a plain white field. Instead, it's a real death arena!

Beneath my feet lay cold, black stone, devoid of any patterns, perfectly flat, surrounded by concentric circles of spectators.

Today's deadly battle not only requires both sides to be evenly matched, but also thoughtfully provides them with a variety of cold weapons.

According to the false god judge, everything will be done according to the ancient rules.

The battles here are a contest of wits and tactics.

"Your strength and the Death Knight's strength will be forcibly brought to the same level. I don't know what they call power in your world, but here, power is power. Perhaps before, the power difference between you and the Death Knight was several times, or even ten times, but today you're both the same. Do you understand?"

The false god referee began explaining the rules to Ning Du.

Ning Du nodded repeatedly: "Understood. Today is my best chance to kill him. He can't escape even if he wants to!"

The false god judge chuckled and replied, "That's right. But I guess that's what they're thinking too. Shapeshifter, would you like to pick a weapon?"

'

Ning Du gently shook his head.

The false god judge then appeared gracefully and loudly announced.

"The deathmatch begins!"

Ning Du took a deep breath.

What's coming can't be avoided, so we have to fight it head-on and get through this hurdle first.

Transformation: Rice Cooker!

Upon entering the Death Arena, the first thing you smell is the pervasive stench of blood in the air.

It's as if time has been frozen here by the gods, no matter how many years have passed.

It still exudes the aura of many lives that have just died.

The Undead Knight Commander also slowly walked out. It seemed to have recovered a lot from its injuries and was in much better condition than before in the Laia Space.

However, because the power has been leveled out, the aura emanating from the Death Knight Commander is now noticeably weaker.

It's probably only a wind force of...?

Ningdu can only make a rough judgment.

But without a doubt, the gods did not choose to elevate him, but instead demoted the Undead Knight Commander.

As a result, many of the Undead Knight Commander's killing moves are no longer usable.

Ningdu is full of confidence: We can win today! We will definitely win today!

The two looked at each other, no longer needing to consider the possibility of reconciliation.

Regardless of their personal grudges or the rules of the deathmatch arena, only one of them can leave today.

With a raised hand, the undead knight commander pulled his broken sword from his body.

With a flick of his hand, a patch of white flame covered the broken sword.

Although his strength has been reduced, he still retains the moves he knows, only they are not as powerful.

kill!

The undead knight commander was the first to charge.

As an undead, he wasn't afraid of being criticized for lacking martial ethics.

In the eyes of the dead, there is only life and death!

clang!

The broken sword was blocked by the rice cooker's fist. Bai Yan followed the rice cooker's fist, trying to ignite it.

But the next moment, it was blocked by the steam rising from the rice cooker.

"It hurts a little, but I can bear it!"

Ning Du tested the opponent's killing move.

Using the same trick, Ning Du felt like he was going to die after taking it once at the stronghold.

But today, the same move has become so powerful that Ning Du feels he can withstand it.

"You're finished, Commander of the Undead Knights!"

Ning Du knew he had a very good chance of winning after taking just one move.

With the same power, the Undead Knight Commander is no match for him!

drink!

In retaliation, Ning Du first delivered a triple-strength punch, slamming it hard into the face of the undead knight commander.

If it were an ordinary person made of flesh and blood, Ning Du's punch would have been enough to disfigure his face.

Unfortunately, today's opponent is an undead, who feels no pain, only the rage of being beaten.

Ning Du's fist cracked the cheekbone of the Undead Knight Commander.

The undead knight commander then pushed the rice cooker back several steps.

Then the undead knight commander unleashed another killing move. A flash of gray-white light transformed into a crescent-shaped slash that hurtled towards Ning Du.

Ning Du had also experienced the terrifying power of death firsthand.

Without attempting to catch it again, Ning Du used the paper doll's body to dodge.

At the same time, he floated to the side of the Undead Knight Commander, like a high-pressure rice cooker foot!

He kicked the Death Knight Commander in the waist and abdomen.

Without the cushioning of flesh and internal organs, the Death Knight's waist and abdomen looked particularly vulnerable.

Ning Du's kick nearly broke his lumbar vertebrae.

After exchanging two moves, the audience could tell that something was wrong.

What's going on? It seems like the Death Knight Commander is having a hard time beating this rice cooker.

Whether in terms of flexibility or skill.

The Undead Knight Commander's fighting style is characterized by its "stupidity".

It seems to have completely forgotten what battles between lower-level beings are like.

Ning Du, of course, sensed it too.

If it were a normally powerful undead knight commander, the moment the power of death was released, it should have immediately created the Pale Domain.

Now, it can only be thrown randomly like sword energy. It completely misses a rice cooker that will turn into paper.

Indeed, the power is the same, but the foundation is not.

Even among the undead, some are born strong.

The powerful soul fire gave him power that surpassed all others, so he didn't need to hone his moves much or break them down bit by bit to use his power.

From the moment he "awakened," he was a powerful being capable of unleashing the Pale Domain.

A certain rice cooker, on the other hand, started from the 20th century and gradually climbed up the ranks.

From F-level skills to the current B-level, the rice cooker has never let up for a single day.

From the day he awakened, he has been striving to become stronger.

Now, although our strengths have been leveled, have our experiences, our growth, and our struggles ever been leveled?

With the same power, you are no match for me, the King of Rice Cookers!

Second gear!

His body turned red, and a high-pressure burst occurred.

The rice cooker, no longer holding back, launched a high-speed attack.

A quick backflip and a rapid dash combined with dodging.

rub!

The rice cooker came to the side of the undead knight commander and kicked him in the head.

He did another somersault over the head of the Undead Knight Commander, then turned around and delivered an Ora punch to the back of the head!

When it comes to dealing with the undead, Ning Du's only experience is that headshots are the way to go.

This series of fierce attacks seemed to overwhelm the undead knight commander.

His behavior appeared flustered, disheveled, and out of control.

"This undead is terrible!"

"I thought it was going to be some exciting deathmatch. Turns out it's just a mindless beating of someone with no strategy!"

"Refund! Refund! This isn't even as exciting as the usual deathmatch!"

"With this level of skill, how dare they come to warp space for a makeshift deathmatch!"

The audience was very dissatisfied, especially with the Death Knight Commander.

It seems that he can't do anything except for a few ultimate moves.

Once the force is evened out, it gets smashed by the rice cooker.

Suddenly, the rice cooker grew larger, transforming into a ten-meter-tall machine.

Then, a rice cooker-shaped charge knocked the Death Knight into the air, followed by a spiral arm strike from the rice cooker.

With a bang, the Death Knight Commander was sent flying, crashing into the wall of the Death Arena.

The audience above booed loudly, and even though the Death Knight Commander was an undead, he felt deeply scorned.

Ningdu even had time to jump around, moving around the large rice cooker.

Generally speaking, the larger the body size, the slower the speed, because it takes longer for the force to be transmitted within the body.

But if you can train to the point where you get bigger, you won't be slow either.

-

That means two words: "Invincible!"

Ningdu is on the path to becoming "invincible" through training.

The Death Knight fell from the wall, still showing no joy or sorrow, only the soul fire burning in his eyes.

Ning Du felt he had figured out the opponent's strength.

Without a significant rank advantage, the undead could never be a match for the shapeshifter.

Ningdu charges forward again, aiming to smash you to death with its giant rice cooker!

But just as he began to accelerate, the Death Knight Commander suddenly unleashed the Soul-Binding Chains.

Even a rice cooker that is ten meters tall can be locked in place.

If this were the outside world, after being bound by the Soul-Binding Chains, one would then have to endure the Death Knight Commander's powerful gray-white flames, burning the soul to the extreme.

But now, the Undead Knight Commander is beginning to display other powers.

"Kaaaa!"

With a mere movement of its mouth, soulfire flew out from the top of the Undead Knight Commander's head.

In front of everyone, the Soulfire transformed into a figure wearing a black cloak and holding a long sword!

Appeared!

One of the ultimate skills of high-level undead: Dead Soul Attack!

An irresistible and undefendable killing move that will damage your soul if you are hit.

Unexpectedly, even with his power balanced, the Undead Knight Commander could still unleash such a deadly move.

How should the shapeshifter respond?

I've never heard of a shapeshifter using such advanced techniques.

It's over. The shapeshifter still died because its race wasn't advanced enough. It didn't have the power to access these advanced killing techniques!

The audience immediately changed their minds, thinking the shapeshifter was doomed.

Moreover, shapeshifters are known for their weak souls.

I'm doomed, I'm going to die!

All the viewers thought the shapeshifter was doomed.

In the audience, a certain little demon had already raised his fist. His 1,800 world coins were about to be pocketed.

But at that moment, a spiritual entity appeared above the head of the giant rice cooker.

And it's still a rice cooker!

Rush!

The moment the spiritual energy rice cooker appeared, it was accompanied by an unfolding illusion.

Even viewers who are slightly less skilled can be directly drawn into the illusion.

I saw the golden rice filling the air from the rice cooker.

"Delicious, delicious, such delicious rice!"

"How can something so delicious exist? Is he a follower of the god of deliciousness?"

"It's an illusion, don't get too caught up in it. Oh dear, it's so delicious, it's okay to eat a little more, right?"

Those lacking strength frantically eat rice, while those with sufficient strength watch as the rice cooker's spiritual energy body brutally beats up the undead knight's soul.

While both involve releasing one's spiritual energy, the Death Knight's method seems far inferior to the rice cooker's.

The difference in skill level is estimated to be as large as that between B and F.

The rice cooker's spiritual energy directly attacked and beat the soul to a pulp, leaving it howling in agony, unable to even fight back.

Desperate, the dead soul only wanted to escape and return to the body of the undead knight commander.

But once the rice cooker grabs him, it won't let him escape easily.

"I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death!"

The rice cooker's spiritual body is beating up its opponent, while the rice cooker itself is still "voicing" its actions.

Finally, the Death Knight Commander couldn't take it anymore, and his entire body was engulfed in black flames, forcibly forcing back the Rice Cooker's spiritual body.

Then, the dead soul returned to the body, causing the body to sway.

In this exchange, it was clear that the Death Knight Commander had suffered another minor setback.

He might suddenly realize now that chasing after this rice cooker was a mistake.

Once he arrived at the Death Arena, he realized he wasn't as strong as he had imagined.

The rice cooker in front of me is more sophisticated than I imagined.

boom!

While the Death Knight was momentarily stunned, the rice cooker forcibly broke free of the Soul-Binding Chains binding it.

Rice cookers are getting bigger and bigger, now including a 20-meter giant rice cooker.

charge!

Like a bulldozer, the giant rice cooker slammed into the Death Knight Commander.

Undeterred, charging forward, the giant rice cooker forcefully pushed the Death Knight Commander against the wall, then repeatedly rammed and crushed him, making the giant rice cooker "rub against a tree like a bear"!

It's not about how good the moves look, it's about how well they're used.

After being repeatedly crushed like this, every bone in the Death Knight's body was cracking.

It looks like it's about to fall apart at any moment!

Finally, the giant rice cooker slammed him to the ground, and then jumped and crashed down.

boom!

The Death Knight Commander was smashed to pieces, his bones flying everywhere, almost crashing into the audience.

Fortunately, this death arena is protected by divine power. Bones can only crash into the transparent air wall.

"You won?"

"No way, they won just like that?"

"This shapeshifter is amazing! I've rarely seen a shapeshifter that can grow this big!"

"It can even have astral projection and create illusions. This is the most unique shapeshifter I've ever seen!"

"The Death Knight suffered a tragic defeat. If he hadn't engaged in a last-minute death match and hadn't leveled the power, he wouldn't have died so miserably."

"Alas, the dead. Perhaps death was just a release for him."

The rice cooker quickly reverted to its smaller form and then took a deep breath.

This battle was quite costly, but overall, the back-and-forth fighting was much simpler than he had imagined.

I never imagined that a battle where the forces were evenly matched would turn out like this.

The Death Knight Commander lost his domain and the Pale Flame.

He was as weak as a little skeleton monster on the street.

There are just a few moves you have to dodge!

Ning Du also thought he had won, after all, his opponent was almost reduced to pieces.

The old skeleton had vanished somewhere.

But when Ning Du turned to look at the pseudo-god referee in the corner, he found that the referee was not moving at all.

That means—

Suddenly, Ningdu turned around.

He saw the Death Knight Commander's body reassemble, only missing some bones.

"Awk, awk, open."

The Death Knight Commander didn't know what he was saying to Ning Du, but Ning Du felt it certainly wasn't anything nice.

How come they're still alive?

The undead have incredibly strong vitality.

It seems we really need to pour some holy water on him!
