Chapter 320: Combat Technique

"Wait, did I hear that right?"

"Three Jin Dan cultivators fight Zheng Danlian, including Jin Dan cultivators from major sects like the All-Book Tower and Zixiao Pavilion, and they all lost?"

"Perhaps, there was infighting among the three?"

"Night Rain Demonic Soldier! This is the only explanation."

The crowd of cultivators still in the Turning Point Secret Pavilion are all very astonished after hearing this announcement.

Zheng Shuanggou and the others immediately pull themselves out of the influence of this news.

They run into each other in a secret pavilion.

The mechanism frog in the secret pavilion is wandering in the central area. On the head of a huge frog leader, a treasure chest is placed.

But neither side of the cultivators has the leisure to care about these mechanism frogs.

Because the Magma Xian Gong was damaged, the restrictions of the Turning Point Secret Pavilion weakened a lot, allowing the cultivators' strength to recover to the Foundation Establishment stage.

This led to the mechanism traps and other arrangements in the secret pavilion having their difficulty sharply reduced.

And because cultivators can all use their own items, the value of various mechanism props in the secret pavilion has also sharply decreased.

Both sides' gazes cross the mechanism frog group and penetrate onto the other party.

Zheng Shuanggou shows a look of joy: "I didn't expect to run into the two from the Meng family directly. Meng Chong is only at the middle level of Qi Refining; we have an advantage."

Ning Jiufan frowns and shakes his head: "Soldiers are dangerous."

"Meng Chong possesses an Immortal Asset; in the early stages of cultivation, fighting across levels is a common occurrence."

"Zhou Nongying was eliminated by him; this young man cannot be underestimated!"

"Let's retreat."

Ning Jiufan is very cautious.

For him, although the strength of his own side on paper is stronger, it is hard to say when it comes to actual combat.

It is better to retreat, unite with other cultivators, and then fight; that is the best choice.

After all, one can see from the list that the Meng family who broke into the third round of the palace exam only has two people.

Looking at Zhu Xuanji's side, even though Zhou Nongying has been eliminated. The Zheng family still has two cultivators, and the Ning family also has Ning Jiufan and Ning Zhuo. Plus Zhu Xuanji, the number and lineup are the largest.

"Now that one can use one's own items, Meng Chong's grandfather is a Nascent Soul cultivator, and he must have given him many protective treasures."

"There is no need to take unnecessary risks; we will find others and unite together."

"By then, turning back to deal with them will be like Mount Tai pressing on an egg, like sweeping away with thunder, unstoppable!"

Ning Jiufan transmits to Zheng Shuanggou, telling him not to forget that there is also a Non-Empty Gate. This faction is good at conspiracy and assassination and cannot be underestimated.

Compared to them, the two from the Meng family can be treated as objects for alliance.

Zheng Shuanggou nods: "What you say makes sense. Sigh, it was me seeing Meng Chong, this junior, and for a moment not shifting my mindset. Let's go."

"Where are you going!" The Meng family Jin Dan cultivator shouts and rushes over.

Zzz.

A lightning shadow remains where Meng Chong stood, and then slowly dissipates.

In an instant, Meng Chong has crossed the central area of the mechanism frog group and pounced directly in front of Ning Jiufan and Zheng Shuanggou.

Meng Chong shoots into mid-air and dives down.

BOOM!

He slams fiercely into the ground, shattering the floor tiles into countless fragments, splashing everywhere.

Zheng Shuanggou and Ning Jiufan have already retreated in time, the two surrounding Meng Chong from left and right.

Electric light wraps around his body, Meng Chong stands up, fighting spirit high, showing a smile: "You are all my prey; don't even think about running!"

Zheng Shuanggou snorts and pounces: "Junior, your tone is not small!"

The two exchange fists and feet, making bang-bang sounds. After a few rounds, Meng Chong shoots like lightning, opening the distance.

Ning Jiufan secretly thinks it is troublesome. Meng Chong's speed is extremely fast; even if he wants to retreat, it is easy for Meng Chong to catch up.

Ning Jiufan has no choice but to strike, whether fighting or retreating, he must first seriously injure Meng Chong.

The Ning family ancestor displays ice frost spells, forming ice cones that fly and shoot.

Meng Chong turns abruptly, his whole body drawing a lightning route in mid-air, dodging all the ice cones.

Zheng Shuanggou follows closely and throws flying darts, none of which catch a corner of Meng Chong's clothes.

"Your opponent, there is also me!" During the entanglement, the Meng family Jin Dan cultivator also kills through the mechanism frogs and rushes over.

Zheng Shuanggou and the Meng family Jin Dan cultivator fight, retreating steadily.

The Jin Dan cultivator is a body cultivator; Zheng Shuanggou suffers a lot in a head-on collision.

At the critical moment, the storage bracelet on his wrist flashes, releasing a pair of magic tool-grade big knives.

Zheng Shuanggou holds the double knives, dancing out slices of blade light.

The blade light slashes on the Meng family Jin Dan cultivator's body, blocked by the Qi armor.

The Meng family Jin Dan cultivator charges, fist shadows flying. Zheng Shuanggou is beaten until his blood and Qi are churning, retreating again and again, having to use the double knives to parry, without the power to fight back.

Several hanging rings dance around Ning Jiufan, constantly shooting out silk threads.

The silk threads shoot toward Meng Chong, the momentum is very fierce, all missing.

"Slow, slow, slow!" Meng Chong shouts, his fighting spirit becoming more and more intense.

He laughs out loud, clearly enjoying the taste of this battle.

BOOM.

He suddenly casts a spell, airflow bursts, fire rages, destroying the silk threads and hanging rings.

"Ning family ancestor, is nothing more than this!" Meng Chong slams into Ning Jiufan.

Ning Jiufan watches Meng Chong rush over, as if seeing a thunder dragon shooting. His heart is like ice jade, unafraid of danger, he retreats slightly, palms facing down, and presses fiercely.

Suddenly, a strong magic power radiates in all directions, forming an ice wall in the blink of an eye.

This ice wall is circular, guarding Ning Jiufan in the center of the circle.

Ning Jiufan does not stop, the ice walls around him are layer upon layer, like waves, extending in all directions.

The ice walls thicken, rapidly condensing together, and in an instant, form a small valley with an ice crystal structure.

Ning Jiufan takes a deep breath and casts another spell.

Thus, a strong north wind howls out of the valley, and soon fills the entire secret pavilion.

The air temperature drops sharply, and frost flowers spread rapidly on the walls, ceiling, and floor of the secret pavilion.

The biting cold wraps around Meng Chong.

Meng Chong shouts and displays the Bathing Fire Technique.

The next moment, his whole body is covered in fire, isolating the external cold, and he rushes toward Ning Jiufan again.

Ning Jiufan raises his right hand and projects a large number of ice sculptures from his storage ring.

These ice sculptures fall into the ice crystal valley, magnifying one after another, restoring into flying birds and running beasts, attempting to intercept Meng Chong.

Meng Chong's speed is much faster than them.

But Ning Jiufan controls the ice sculptures, casting spells one after another; Meng Chong's speed drops sharply, and he decisively gives up rushing directly at Ning Jiufan, temporarily setting his target on these annoying ice sculptures.

Bang bang bang.

Each ice sculpture is basically at the Foundation Establishment level. In front of the rapidly charging Meng Chong, almost none have the power to fight back.

Soon, many were beaten to pieces.

For a time, electric light is like a dragon, wherever it goes, ice sculptures explode, and the brilliant thunder fire and ice crystal fragments reflect each other.

¤￠O

However, the ice sculptures are not without effect. Relying on the consumption of one after another, Meng Chong's momentum is gradually offset by more than half.

By the time Meng Chong kills his way to the ice valley, he is forced back by the north wind blowing again.

Bang.

Zheng Shuanggou falls like a cannonball, crashing directly onto the ice valley.

He spits a mouthful of blood, his chest collapsed, the shape of the depression clearly a fist.

The magic tool-grade long spear in Zheng Shuanggou's hand has been broken into two pieces; he simply abandons it and takes out his signature weapon—Sun and Moon Hooks—from his storage ring.

The Meng family body cultivator kills again, Zheng Shuanggou leans against the ice valley and clashes with him.

Relying on the magic treasure-grade material of the Sun and Moon Hooks, Zheng Shuanggou finally blocks the Meng family body cultivator, but this is also a draw.

Ning Jiufan in the ice valley keenly perceives this scene.

He analyzes the situation in his heart: "As expected of the Meng family's body cultivator, the strength is strong!"

"Zheng Shuanggou relies on the Sun and Moon Hooks, which is quite a disadvantage. This is magic treasure-grade, consuming a lot of magic power. He won't be able to hold on for long."

"It seems I have to rely on myself."

Thinking of this, Ning Jiufan takes out the magic treasure Ice Heart Jade Pot.

With a thought, a stream of ice jade wine flies out from the pot's spout.

Ning Jiufan opens his mouth and swallows the group of ice jade wine into his belly.

The next moment, he silently activates the spell.

Meng Chong rushes again, persevering, and the momentum is even more fierce.

It is hard to imagine that he only has the cultivation of the middle level of Qi Refining!

The ice valley shoots out ice bricks.

Meng Chong dodges most of them, hard-taking the ice bricks, diving from high altitude, continuing to rush toward Ning Jiufan.

As a result, the next moment, these ice bricks suddenly collapse, turning into groups of hail and snowflakes.

For a time, in the secret pavilion, ice and snow drift.

North wind howls from the ice valley.

The north wind howls, rolling up ice flakes and white snow.

The wind and snow block the vision, condensing together, turning into snow-white pythons, besieging Meng Chong.

Meng Chong constantly dodges, between lightning and thunder, using his fists to blast apart the snow-white pythons one by one.

He fights more excitedly, only feeling his whole body's blood boiling. This wonderful feeling of fist-to-flesh strikes, he hasn't touched for a long time.

The puppet body when entering the Xian Gong really affects the exertion of his main body's strength too much.

The snow pythons are beaten apart in the wind and snow, and not long after, they condense into shape again.

Meng Chong breaks the surface with a point, originally occupying an advantage. But after fighting fiercely for a while, he is surrounded by layers, gradually becoming weak, unable to break out.

Seeing Meng Chong fall into a predicament, the Meng family Jin Dan body cultivator ignores himself and strikes Zheng Shuanggou heavily.

Zheng Shuanggou's hooks cut the body cultivator's skin, but he himself is blasted away, like a cannonball, crashing through the ice valley and falling to the ground.

Ning Jiufan on the side has no time to care about him, concentrating on controlling the spell, surrounding Meng Chong tightly.

According to common sense, Ning Jiufan's large-area spellcasting consumes a lot of magic power. Meng Chong's fighting style of breaking the surface with a point is just right for restraint.

However, in actual combat, the scale of victory gradually tilts toward Ning Jiufan.

Meng Chong is gradually tired of parrying.

Zheng Shuanggou sits on the ground, while eating elixirs, while praising: "Brother Ning, your techniques of stacking, splitting, and turning spells can be called pure fire and green! If you can combine them, you will be a genuine master-level existence!"

What he said are all spellcasting skills.

Stacking spells is the same spell, constantly stacking, quantitative change produces qualitative change. Just now, Ning Jiufan continuously cast ten ice walls, the ice walls melted into an ice mountain, which is stacking.

Splitting and turning spells are the ice valley flying bricks afterward, decomposing parts from one spell, and then turning into another spell.

And the later wind and snow surging, condensing snow pythons, is the integrated application of stacking, splitting, and turning spells.

Zheng Shuanggou praises: "Brother Ning, we really didn't estimate wrong, you are a genuine combat technique master."

Ning Jiufan is about to open his mouth to respond politely.

Suddenly horrified, he is heavily injured!

He looks down and sees a blade hook piercing his lower abdomen. The familiar shape is exactly the Moon Hook from Zheng Shuanggou's signature weapon, the Sun and Moon Hooks.

The next moment, the Moon Hook erupts with radiance, and the sharp soldier Qi rapidly erodes Ning Jiufan's internal organs.

Ning Jiufan's body shakes violently, staring fixedly at Zheng Shuanggou: "You!!" ===== CHAPTER 321 =====
