Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Let alone ordinary blades, even if you use a chainsaw to give it a haircut, you'll have to replace the saw teeth several times.

The thugs in front of it weren't very strong, yet they were able to injure it; it must be because of this knife.

"Kill this guy first, then take the knife."

The giant panda made up its mind. Its round belly squeezed out several folds, then bounced out like a squeezed bouncy ball, turning into a blur as it pounced on Liu Zheng, who was retreating.

"Wow, so fast! No wonder it's a 'cat'."

Seeing the giant claw reaching for his face, Liu Zheng was slightly startled.

Fortunately, he now has the movement speed boost provided by "Wind After Bamboo Leaf Tea", otherwise he really wouldn't be able to react in time.

Seeing the air currents swirling around the claws, Liu Zheng didn't dare to use his physical body to withstand it, so he raised his knife to block.

The giant claw seized the dragon scale blade, bending it into a dangerous arc, but ultimately, it lived up to its perfect quality and withstood the blow.

"Ow!"

The panda's raging anger caused it to instinctively retract its claws, and Liu Zheng used the force of the claw strike to quickly retreat.

"Damn scoundrel!"

The panda, realizing what was happening, became enraged and swung its paw, unleashing five air blades that slashed at his four limbs, seemingly intending to dismember him.

However, its efforts were in vain.

After all, even if Liu Zheng stood still and let it chop, it still had four tentacles and two hooves.

Moreover, the Nile doctor couldn't just stand by and watch.

With a horizontal slash of the jeweled scimitar, a golden blade of energy cleaved all five air blades into thin air.

Then, Dr. Nile swiftly moved between Liu Zheng and the giant panda, waving his scepter to block the bear's paw that was about to strike.

"He's quite strong."

The Nile doctor stumbled back several steps, bumping Liu Zheng aside in the process.

"I want to see whether the scarab beetle or the bear is stronger."

He grabbed one of Liu Zheng's tentacles and slashed it across the sapphire scarab beetle. The scarab beetle immediately absorbed the blood and emitted a brilliant light.

Doctor Nile ignored Liu Zheng's resentful gaze, sheathed his jeweled scimitar, and charged forward wielding his scepter.

"clang!"

The scepter struck the crossed bear paws with a resounding clang like a great bell.

This time, however, the Nile doctor did not back down; instead, he pressed the bear paw down three-tenths of the way.

"Not bad, it's more durable than Nadi Bear."

"The Nile doctor said with satisfaction."

Nadi bears are terrifying creatures from the ancestral homeland of the descendants of the Ra. They are not only extremely ugly in appearance, but also elusive, incredibly strong, and especially fond of attacking and eating humans raw, making them a major scourge to the area.

However, for some unknown reason, most spells or divine powers are ineffective against them, so the only way to kill them is by force.

The person who kills a Nadi Bear will be regarded as a hero and receive a large reward. If one can kill a Nadi Bear alone, regardless of his original status, he will be promoted to a basic noble or a priest's apprentice.

The Nile Doctor certainly didn't become a priest in this way, but he did kill three Nadi Bears on his own, which earned him an audience with the Pharaoh and propelled him to a high position.

His own memory of this event was blocked by the city hall, but the sun god Ra recorded it and told him a part of it.

This is one of the benefits of believing in God. After all, the memory of both the living and the dead is limited, while the memory of any deity is almost limitless; it just depends on whether they are willing to remember.

"Pause."

Thinking of this, the Nile doctor withdrew his scepter, signaling for a halt.

"What? You're willing to pay?"

The giant panda asked suspiciously.

If these people are willing to pay, that would be a good thing. It doesn't actually like fighting; it prefers to find a comfortable place to lie down and eat.

"This bear? Do you know magic or spells?"

"The Nile doctor asked."

"Do you think I'm stupid? Why would I tell you something like this?"

The giant panda rolled its eyes.

"Then you know how. Here's the deal: neither of us needs any supernatural abilities or items; we'll just have a head-on fight based on our martial arts. If you win, I'll give you a million. If you lose, you can be my mount, how about that?"

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Impossible. My master said that no one but him can ride me."

The giant panda resolutely refused.

"Uh"

Liu Zheng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Given the local customs and culture of the metropolis, he was afraid he might ask something that would shock him.

"Then let's change it. If you lose, you'll have to be my bodyguard during our time in the Ten Thousand Mountains."

The Nile doctor changed his bet.

"If you can beat me, why do you need me as a bodyguard?"

"Your master must be stronger than you, right?"

"The Nile doctor asked in return."

"Of course, my master is amazing."

The giant panda said proudly.

"When it comes to fighting, will you go in or will your master go in?"

"The Nile doctor asked again."

"When I was a child, my master would take the lead; now that I'm grown up, it's my turn to take the lead."

The giant panda thought for a moment and then said.

"That makes sense, doesn't it? You're weaker than me, but stronger than the enemy, so you'll definitely be the bodyguard."

"Oh? Now that you mention it, it does make sense."

The giant panda scratched its head and said.

Liu Zheng was deep in thought. Could it be that the Sphinx was tricked into becoming a security guard by the Nile doctor?

It seems he underestimated this pillar of the Ra clan.

"So you've accepted it?"

"The Nile doctor asked."

"I accept."

The giant panda nodded.

"That's ridiculous!"

It suddenly turned around, and two auspicious clouds appeared beneath its feet.

Then it took a horse stance, and the two auspicious clouds deflated and bounced up like springs.

The giant panda also bounced up along with the auspicious cloud and flew towards Qingzhu Mountain.

"You scoundrel, I'll remember this grudge. We'll meet again someday, and fight once more!"

Even in its busy schedule, it didn't forget to turn back and utter a harsh remark.

"Hey, this fat guy in black and white isn't stupid after all."

Liu Zheng couldn't help but laugh.

The other party is clearly taking advantage of you by offering such conditions. Unless they have some hidden trump card, the best course of action is to retreat.

"It's not stupid. But I've already made it clear, so it won't be that easy for it to escape."

The Nile doctor grabbed his tentacle again and swiped it across the emerald dragonfly.

"Doctor, can you use your own blood next time?"

Liu Zheng complained.

"How much blood could a mummy like me have? It's much more convenient to use yours."

"That's what the Nile doctor said with reason and conviction."

The emerald dragonfly shone brightly, and a giant dragonfly phantom appeared above his head.

Then the dragonfly flapped its wings suddenly, and a tornado appeared in front of the giant panda.

"What the hell is this!"

Caught off guard, the giant panda was immediately swept up in the storm, and the two auspicious clouds were instantly torn to shreds. It was transformed into a black and white spinning top in the raging wind.

"Doctor, if you use these treasures now, what will happen when they cool down?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It's alright, I only borrowed a portion of its power, it won't offend the spirit of the sacred object."

The Nile doctor explained.

"That's good."

Using your ultimate move for a single panda seems a bit wasteful.

Although the tornado summoned by the Nile doctor temporarily controlled the giant panda, this young demon king, who was capable of killing the bear spirit, would not simply surrender.

"Fuck your mother! You forced me into this!"

The spinning panda spat out a shimmering, round bead, which hung above its head, emitting a mottled black and white glow. Its spinning body immediately came to a stop.

"A superior-grade inner core!"

Upon seeing this, Bai San immediately cried out.

"You little hedgehogs have some sense. Now that you've seen through us, none of you are going to escape today!"

At this point, the giant panda no longer had its adorable appearance; its face was ferocious with its fangs bared, truly an ancient beast.

"A breath that can swallow mountains and rivers!"

The giant panda opened its massive jaws and swallowed the entire tornado whole.

"Humph!"

It exhaled air from its nostrils, spewing out two white, luminous vajras that smashed down on the Nile doctor's head.

"what!"

It opened its mouth and spat out a yellow demon-quelling pestle, which smashed down on Liu Zheng's head.

"Why does this art style look so familiar?"

As he pondered, he did a nimble roll, rolling four or five meters away.

However, the demon-subduing pestle seemed to have eyes and moved accordingly, appearing on his head in the blink of an eye.

"Don't try to block it!"

Just as Liu was about to sacrifice two tentacles to block the attack, Bai San gave him a timely reminder.

Although he didn't know why, he still obeyed instinctively, slashing off one of his own tentacles and kicking it towards the Demon-Subduing Pestle.

He had used this trick of detaching the gecko's tail many times and was already very skilled at it.

The tentacle shot towards the Demon-Subduing Pestle with the force of a bowstring being released. Caught off guard, the Demon-Subduing Pestle was unable to dodge and was hit squarely by the tentacle.

"Pfft~"

The two objects collided, and the Demon-Subduing Pestle emitted a muffled fart-like sound before dissipating into the wind, while the tentacles remained intact.

This Liu Zheng was able to regrow his tail, while the Nile River Doctor didn't have that ability and simply swung his scepter to withstand the attack.

But the two vajras pierced right through the scepter, one hitting his face and the other his shoulder.
