Chapter 478, I Still Prefer Your Arrogant and Unrestrained Manner

Translator: Silavin

 

Ning Tu had no idea when Lu Fan had inflicted him with poison.

 

Unbeknownst to him, numerous Poisonous Particles had already flown from the Ghost Guards’ bodies onto his skin.

 

Ji Ji’s poison could now be seen as countless invisible poisonous tiny insects that could freely fly around. Once they landed on a living organism, upon her choosing, they would take effect, take root, and proliferate.

 

Therefore, although only some Poisonous Mist had drifted onto Ning Tu’s body, a small amount was enough to start a disaster!

 

These Poisonous Particles not only stacks multiple Poison Debuffs on Ning Tu, but they also continuously absorbed his Life Force to reproduce and multiply.

 

In just a moment, Ning Tu’s entire body was covered by Ji Ji’s poison. All his skin was being Corroded, resembling a skinless body of muscle and skeleton.

 

The immense pain made Ning Tu consider suicide, but Xiao Cui’s Spring of Life Skill maintained his Life Force, leaving him unable to live comfortably or die quickly.

 

“You bastard! Torturing me like this! My Sister and the Ning Family won’t let you get away with this… Quickly Cleanse the Poison Debuffs, or I’ll make you die miserably…”

 

“No… I can’t take it anymore, please, spare me.”

 

“No, kill me. All I ask is for a quick death…”

 

Ning Tu was defiant at first, but gradually began to beg for mercy, even wanting to die to escape the suffering.

 

Even a Level 100 Player could not withstand the torture of Ji Ji’s poison, Demonstrating the poison’s formidable power.

 

Nearby, including Huang Yingheng and the Ye Family members, everyone watched with their scalps tingling.

 

After witnessing this scene, even if beaten to death, they would absolutely not dare to betray the Ye Family or oppose Lu Fan.

 

Lu Fan sneered at Ning Tu’s pleas.

 

“It’s only now that you know how to beg for mercy? Actually, compared to this pathetic version of yourself, I still prefer your arrogant and unrestrained demeanour from earlier when you wanted to teach me what respect is.”

 

“No… please, please just spare me…” Ning Tu struggled to crawl toward Lu Fan, grabbing his foot and begging, “As long as you spare my life, the Ning Family will absolutely never trouble your Ye Family again. I’ll also have the Ning Family give you a great gift and apologise…”

 

Lu Fan chuckled. He kicked away Ning Tu’s hand and asked. “Compensate me with a great gift? Do you really take me for a three-year-old child? I have no interest in the Ning Family, nor do I plan to provoke them. But since you dared to harm my Senior Sister, this grudge has already been established!”

 

“Your life is something I’m determined to take! If the Ning Family wants to avenge your death and seek revenge against the Ye Family, I can only say I’m more than ready to face them! They can come at any time! I’ve already destroyed both the Huang Family and the Loong Family. Adding the Ning Family to this list won’t make a difference!”

 

Seeing Lu Fan’s determined killing intent, Ning Tu was breaking down in desperation.

 

However, what comforted him was that shortly after Lu Fan finished speaking, his consciousness gradually blurred and finally disappeared. He no longer had to endure the torture of Ji Ji’s poison.

 

Although Xiao Cui’s Spring of Life was present, Ji Ji’s poison constantly multiplied inside of Ning Tu’s body. Eventually, it resulted in over two hundred stacks of Poison Debuffs on him.

 

With over two hundred stacks of Poison Debuffs, even at Level 100, for a Puppet Master like him, it was instant death. At that point, Ning Tu’s entire body had been Corroded to turn into a skeleton. Lu Fan had asked Ji Ji to quickly stop the poison at that point and naturally would not waste this excellent corpse. He directly summoned a Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon King to turn him into a Fallen Corpse Puppet.

 

Lu Fan had abilities similar to a Necromancer, allowing him to transform the deceased into his Summons. At this point, it was not much of a secret.

 

Under the astonished gazes of Huang Yingheng and the Ye Family members, Ning Tu’s flesh regrew, while the already shattered Zhuang Meng, Ghost Shadow, and Ghost Guard all disappeared from the ground.

 

Ning Tu, transformed into a Fallen Corpse Puppet, reappeared before Lu Fan, who began to examine his Attribute Panel.

 

As Lu Fan had expected, Ning Tu, having a Tamer Type Hidden Profession, possessed Skills that applied various Buffs to his Puppets.

 

Strictly speaking, Ning Tu was equivalent to a Support Specialised Profession.

 

The only flaw was that his Skills could only be used on his Puppets.

 

This left Lu Fan slightly disappointed. He was hoping to find a Support Specialised Profession to enhance the power of his Fourth Profession Fallen Corpse Puppet Players.

 

After reading his Attribute Panel, Ning Tu did not seem to be a suitable candidate for this. Still, he was a Level 100 Player with a Divine Skill.

 

At the same time, Zhuang Meng, the three Ghost Guards, and Ghost Shadow, were in Ning Tu’s Summon Sub-Space and could be called forth. In short, Lu Fan had gained another Level 100 Player plus four additional Fourth Profession Players.

 

Originally, Lu Fan thought that Ning Tu’s contribution to his overall team was going to be limited to just this. However, while browsing Ning Tu’s Skills, he suddenly discovered that he had a Skill called Puppet Crafting.

 

This Skill allowed Ning Tu to turn the corpses of Players into Puppets, becoming his Summons. The crafted Puppets would retain the same Skills and Attributes as when they were alive, which was very similar to Fallen Corpse Control.

 

However, Fallen Corpse Control could turn Players, Monsters, and even Bosses into Puppets, while Puppet Crafting was limited to only Players as the target.

 

Lu Fan had a sudden inspiration. [Wait. If Ning Tu can make Puppets from the corpses of Players, wouldn’t Fallen Corpse Puppets count as corpses?]

 

Lu Fan acted immediately. He had the Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon King summon a Fallen Corpse Puppet, Loong Xing.

 

Following his order, he had Ning Tu use Puppet Crafting on Loong Xing.

 

Ning Tu extended his hand, and a black thread flew from his fingertip, entering through Loong Xing’s ear.

 

Instantly, something seemed to be writhing beneath Loong Xing’s body, devouring the flesh beneath.

 

After just two minutes, Loong Xing’s transformation stopped.

 

At this point, Loong Xing was no longer a Fallen Corpse Puppet, but a Puppet.

 

This meant that Loong Xing could now benefit from all of Ning Tu’s Buff Skills.

 

This delighted Lu Fan greatly.

 

This way, Ning Tu could still serve as a Support in the team, applying various Buffs to the other Fourth Profession Puppets.

 

Lu Fan had the Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon King summon all the Fourth Profession Players, then ‘Cleansed’ them all with Ning Tu’s Puppet Crafting.

 

Except for Ning Tu, all the Fourth Profession Fallen Corpse Puppet Players became Puppets. Their strength had not changed much compared to before, but they could now receive Buffs from Ning Tu.

 

At the same time, after becoming Puppets, their body Self-Recovery had greatly improved. As long as they were not shattered to bits, the black threads inside them would keep reconstituting their bodies. It would not be an exaggeration to call them Immortal.
