Chapter 503: Slaughter

The Jin Dan barbarian led his subordinates to fight with Ning Zhuo's mechanical army for a while, realized the latter's strength, and decisively retreated.

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong controlled the mechanical puppets, took the opportunity to cover and kill, and after killing many barbarian cultivators, they saw their opponents running down the mountain along the mountainside.

Sun Lingtong's spiritual sense transmitted: "Should we continue to chase?"

Ning Zhuo glanced at the battle group at the foot of the mountain; the people of the Three Generals Camp were far less numerous than the enemy and were almost surrounded.

His mind turned, and he gritted his teeth: "No! Destroy this enemy camp first."

Previously, the barbarian Jin Dan spear-holding cultivator was arrogant and took the initiative to lead the team to attack, but was defeated by Ning Zhuo.

The enemy camp was still intact, and there were still a few barbarian soldiers who kept shooting arrows at Ning Zhuo's direction.

Ning Zhuo led the mechanical puppets to kill to the gate of the enemy camp and suddenly stopped marching.

The advantage of the mechanical puppets being obedient was fully reflected at this moment.

If it were a normal army, if the training was insufficient and the military discipline was difficult to follow, at this moment, there would inevitably be soldiers who were excited and ignored the military order to stop suddenly, still rushing forward.

"Little Zhuo?" Sun Lingtong was puzzled.

Ning Zhuo withdrew his gaze from the mechanical ring; his mechanical ring had just shrunk slightly. Although the degree was very slight, it still gave Ning Zhuo a warning.

Ning Zhuo's mind and spiritual sense were both mobilized, separating fifty mechanical puppets from the army and rushing into the enemy camp.

There were a few barbarian soldiers in the enemy camp, all of whom were old, weak, sick, and disabled.

In the last moments of their lives, they all performed bravely, shouting and rushing up, and then were ruthlessly killed by the mechanical puppets.

But as the barbarian soldiers died, a magic array in the camp was revealed and started rapidly.

Sun and Ning could not identify the origin of this magic array, and saw that its patterns and talismans were all ancient words.

The magic array was blood-sacrificed and burst out with strands of purple-black smoke. The smoke surrounded nearly fifty mechanical puppets.

Ning Zhuo tried to control them and found that the difficulty soared.

At the same time, the purple-black smoke actually moved without wind and rapidly drifted toward Ning Zhuo!

Ning Zhuo did not dare to be careless, decisively withdrew his spiritual sense, and no longer used the Buddha Heart Demon Seal to sense the mechanical puppets in the camp.

The purple-black smoke immediately had no target and permeated halfway.

Ning Zhuo, for the sake of caution, hurriedly mobilized the remaining three hundred mechanical puppets to retreat.

The purple-black smoke shrouded the entire camp and then drifted toward Ning Zhuo's direction again.

No matter how Ning Zhuo transferred the army, the purple-black smoke would adjust rapidly and always drift toward Ning Zhuo.

Sun Lingtong activated his talent Spirit Pupil, observed for a while, and guessed: "It might be the connection between military forces, Little Zhuo!"

The four hundred mechanical puppets under Ning Zhuo were all registered soldiers of the Liangzhu Kingdom.

They belonged to the Red Flower Camp.

At the moment, the main force of the Red Flower Camp was on another route, and here was only Ning Zhuo's mechanical army. Therefore, the purple-black smoke captured Ning Zhuo and approached continuously.

"If it is like this, then it is easy to handle!"

Ning Zhuo took a deep breath, clapped his palms together in front of his chest, and made a crisp sound of "pa".

His whole body's magic power surged, and at the same time, he mobilized military power, intending to cast the most handy Tree World Arrival Technique.

But after a second thought, he immediately changed to a Fire spell.

Fire—Nine Heavens Fire Dragon Technique!

Nine Heavens born, divine fire burning, fire dragon burning evil!

Ning Zhuo whispered in his mouth, speaking very fast.

The next moment, magic power and military power were consumed by more than half, turning into three fire dragons, rushing toward the enemy camp shrouded in purple-black smoke.

The dragon roar rose, the flames burned, and rapidly spread throughout the enemy camp!

The Nine Heavens Fire Dragon Technique is one of the most classic spells in the Fire line, famous in the cultivation world. The spell simulates the Nine Heavens divine fire, condenses into a fire dragon form, and controls the burning of the enemy.

The number of fire dragons increases according to the cultivator's cultivation base.

The Qi Condensation stage only has one fire dragon, the Foundation Establishment stage has two, and Ning Zhuo now, although he has Foundation Establishment cultivation, has Jin Dan combat power, so he condensed three.

One of the reasons why the Nine Heavens Fire Dragon Technique is a classic of the Fire line is that it is universally applicable to the cultivator's path in the early, middle, and late stages.

Once cultivated successfully, it can often be used for a lifetime!

The power of the fire dragon will also change in strength according to the cultivator's strength.

The purple-black smoke was burned out by the flames, the flames rose to the sky, turning into a sea of fire.

The tents, weapons, chariots, etc., in the enemy camp soon turned into ashes in the sea of fire, and even the ground was burned into a red glass-like solid.

The entire enemy camp had become a huge furnace, the burning flames rose to the sky, illuminating the night sky red.

The heat waves rolled, constantly rushing toward them. The air was distorted, and the distant mountains and forests looked blurred, as if they would melt at any time.

Boom!

The enemy camp suddenly produced a violent explosion.

The retreating barbarian spear-holding Jin Dan cultivator had a gloomy face. The double trap he carefully laid in the military camp did not succeed.

"Damn! It just happened that I met a mechanical army." The spear-holding Jin Dan was full of hatred.

The Jin Dan cultivator stared at Ning Zhuo, wanting to deeply imprint the image of this enemy in the deepest part of his heart.

At this moment, Ning Zhuo restrained the sea of fire, only letting it burn the enemy camp, instead of spreading to the mountains and forests, causing trouble for the entire Heavenly Pillar Giant Wood Mountain.

He was in white clothes and black hair, located on the mountainside, overlooking the foot of the mountain.

Under the illumination of the sea of fire, his figure was pulled very long, projected on the distant mountain wall, like a dark giant spirit god.

The spear-holding Jin Dan saw Ning Zhuo's demeanor and was also moved.

His mouth was full of bitterness, thinking: "The other party is only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and I am a dignified Jin Dan."

"The defeat in this battle lies in the strength of the Liangzhu Kingdom's military system. We have already mobilized local barbarian tribes from various mountains in advance for bitter training."

"But the cooperation of the tribes is not good, and there are too many contradictions among themselves. How can they have the performance of the Liangzhu Kingdom in the battle formation?"

"However, the idea of this mechanical army is really good. The actual combat effect is also excellent, and the Thousand Peaks Forest should also make a few."

After Ning Zhuo destroyed the enemy camp on the mountainside, he quickly reviewed his mechanical army.

Originally there were more than four hundred mechanical puppets, but after a battle, nearly one hundred were damaged, leaving more than three hundred.

"At least twenty thousand mid-grade spirit stones were lost." Ning Zhuo evaluated his loss.

Such a loss, if it were an ordinary Jin Dan cultivator, would be comparable to his income for half a year.

"I spent more than twenty thousand mid-grade spirit stones in exchange for my current Jin Dan combat power."

"This is actually quite cost-effective!"

At this moment, Ning Zhuo suddenly had a new realization.

The essence of the so-called Hundred Arts of Cultivation is actually seeking cost-effectiveness—using more ingenious ways to use resources to achieve more effects.

The Hundred Arts of Cultivation is like a lever. The more superb and mysterious the technique, the more it can use fewer and cheaper resources to pry out more and stronger power.

Ning Zhuo scanned this battlefield.

Sun Lingtong's reconnaissance and the reconnaissance of the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon all told him that there were no other ambushes around. Ning Zhuo had no expression, led the mechanical army, and killed toward the foot of the mountain.

The mechanical army was like a long river, rushing down.

The spear-holding Jin Dan cultivator led a part of the remnants to launch a long-range attack on Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo's mechanical army, under the blessing of the Light Body Gale Formation, moved lightly and quickly, dodging many attacks, and killed to the side of the Three Generals Camp.

The double-axe Jin Dan who was besieging the Three Generals Camp was so angry that he cursed.

The spear-holding Jin Dan cultivator did not perform well and did not intercept Ning Zhuo, causing him to kill to his rear. In this way, it created a situation where Ning Zhuo's mechanical army and the Three Generals Camp attacked him from inside and outside.

"Come and support quickly!" The double-axe Jin Dan shouted at the spear-holding Jin Dan.

The reason why the spear-holding Jin Dan retreated was to protect the clansmen around him.

His tribe was not prosperous, and the ones around him now were the fire seeds for the tribe's future continuation, which could not be lost.

Therefore, he made the military order to retreat.

But the current battle situation, if Ning Zhuo and the Three Generals Camp were allowed to win by attacking from inside and outside, was also something the spear-holding Jin Dan did not want to see.

None of the content is wrong, read it all at once!

The spear-holding Jin Dan gritted his teeth and led his subordinates to rush to support.

The double-axe barbarian Jin Dan shouted loudly to boost morale: "Little ones, hold on! Hold on to this breath!!"

The double-axe Jin Dan was also cheering himself up in his heart: "It's okay, we can hold on. We have the Wasteland Hunting Formation!"

The barbarian army was not without a formation.

It was just that these battle formations had a long history and were passed down to this day.

The Wasteland Hunting Formation was one of the typical ones.

This kind of formation was a dynamic formation gradually created by barbarian cultivators in the wasteland when they hunted daily, cooperating closely with each other until they reached a certain level.

As the name suggests, it is biased toward hunting and attacking, not defense.

Ning Zhuo did not hesitate, nor did he stop, and led the mechanical army to crash into the enemy formation.

After the barbarian battle formation resisted for dozens of breaths, it was difficult to resist, and it was fiercely pushed, crushed, and killed by the mechanical army, killing a large number of barbarians, breaking the battle line, and killing in!

Ning Zhuo cast spells frequently, which was one of the main reasons for killing in.

He didn't care about the life or death of the mechanical puppets at all—oh, mechanical puppets don't care about life or death, but barbarian cultivators are different, all flesh and blood.

They died under Ning Zhuo's rounds of Five Elements spells, and their end was miserable.

Ning Zhuo was experiencing army combat for the first time.

For him, this was still the first time, and the feeling was very novel, unique, and stirred his heart.

Just now, when he collided with the spear-holding cultivator's army, the pressure he felt was like a bowl of thin porridge.

The pressure of fighting with the double-axe Jin Dan's subordinates became much greater, but that was it. It was like rising from thin porridge to rice.

Although the other party concluded a battle formation, it was still sparse and ordinary.

"They lack training, the soldiers have complex origins, have their own grudges, and are difficult to unite. This leads to a large number of people, but insufficient military power."

"On the contrary, our side, the training level of the Three Generals Camp far exceeds his, not to mention that my mechanical army has reached the level of obeying orders and prohibitions."

"More importantly, it is the gap in national power."

Ning Zhuo's mechanical army and Liu, Generals Guan, and Zhang's Three Generals Camp all had the blessing of national power.

And the Thousand Peaks Forest did not establish a country, so the army only had military power, and no national power to assist.

This was not because the Dragon King of the Stamen was unwilling to establish a country, but because establishing a country was very difficult. Even the Spirit Transformation level did not dare to try easily.

To establish a country, at least three standards must be met: national destiny, national vessel, and monarch.

Under normal circumstances, the monarch must possess the royal mandate. Just this point alone blocked too many careerists.

The barbarian army was attacked from inside and outside and fell into a dangerous situation.

Even if the spear-holding Jin Dan led the army to support, it was too late.

The double-axe Jin Dan was furious, abandoned the Three Generals Camp, and turned to attack Ning Zhuo.

The Three Generals Camp saw this and immediately seized the opportunity to change the formation urgently!

The results of the bitter training day and night in the past were fully displayed at this moment.

They quickly changed from the triangular arrow formation to the iron bucket formation.

That's right, during the time they returned to Canglin Immortal City to rest, the Three Generals Camp trained troops crazily, allowing the soldiers to master another battle formation.

And this battle formation was a classic defensive formation.

Liu, Generals Guan, and Zhang were thus liberated. Originally, the triangular arrow formation required the three of them to occupy the formation eye and formation heart from time to time.

Now, the iron bucket formation only requires one person to be the main formation for a long time.

Zhang Hei and Generals Guan Hong were unbound, like black tigers out of the gate and red dragons breaking the lock, killing out.

In the barbarian army, naturally, there was more than one Jin Dan, and there were other Jin Dan cultivators. Seeing Generals Guan and Zhang killing out, they immediately took action to intercept them halfway.

Zhang Hei performed the Black Wave Heaven-Tossing Technique, with the Python Tendon talent inside and the Black Snake Spear outside, the more he fought, the more strength he had, and the attack was more fierce.

Generals Guan Hong urged the Red Face Blood Tribulation Sutra, held the Blood Dragon Knife, and suddenly performed a military strategy—Single Knife Straight In!

The blood light surged, turning into a knife glow, directly piercing through the barbarian army.

The barbarian Jin Dan roared and pounced on Generals Guan Hong.

Generals Guan Hong did not dodge or avoid, his long beard moved without wind, and the beard was eight feet long, suddenly reflecting blood light.

Talent—Thousand Beards Reflecting Blood!

The blood light was both offensive and defensive. Under the illumination, it was like a blood-colored long river, surging out, rolling a barbarian Jin Dan into it.

The barbarian Jin Dan shouted in horror, but after a few breaths, he was turned into a pool of blood.

A large amount of essence in the blood was immediately absorbed by Generals Guan Hong's blood light.

This was the characteristic of demonic cultivation, using other cultivators as resources for cultivation!

Generals Guan Hong quickly killed a barbarian Jin Dan, and Ning Zhuo's Five Elements spell also injured one.

During this period, the spear-holding Jin Dan wanted to sneak attack, but was forced back by Ning Zhuo's Metal spell.

The spear-holding Jin Dan retreated all the way, his eyelids jumping. Because the fierceness Ning Zhuo showed really made people feel cold and afraid.

Various spells smashed down indiscriminately, killing and injuring many of his own mechanical puppets.

Even the friendly Liu Er saw Ning Zhuo's fighting style and couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of a great clan descendant, how many mechanical puppets must be damaged, how much money is lost!"

Liu Er held the Profound Yellow Sword, presided over the iron bucket formation, and did not take the initiative to attack.

"Die for me!" The two sides fought constantly, and Zhang Hei suddenly roared, making the Jin Dan opponent fall into a short dizziness.

Immediately, the Black Snake Spear pierced the enemy's heart, and Zhang Hei reached out and grabbed the Jin Dan cultivator's head in his palm, then used force, like a watermelon exploding, and pinched it to explode.

The second barbarian Jin Dan cultivator fell!

The barbarian's own battle formation had already collapsed and suffered backlash. Seeing Zhang Hei and Generals Guan Hong so fierce and brave, the fighting spirit dropped again and again.

Feeling that his own military power blessing had fallen sharply, several barbarian Jin Dans discussed it and could only admit defeat and choose to retreat to the mountain.

Ning, Generals Guan, and Zhang took the opportunity to cover and kill, killing countless.
