Chapter 503: Slaughter

The barbarian Jin Dan led his subordinates and fought with Unlike Ning Zhuo's mechanism army for a moment, realized the strength of the latter, and decisively retreated.

Unlike Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong controlled the mechanism puppets, took the opportunity to sweep them, killed many barbarian cultivators, and then saw the opponent running down the mountain along the mountainside.

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

Unlike Ning Zhuo glanced at the battle group at the foot of the mountain; the Three Generals Camp had far fewer people than the enemy army and was almost surrounded.

His thoughts flashed, he gritted his teeth: "No! Destroy this enemy camp first."

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

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

Unlike Ning Zhuo led the mechanism puppets to the gate of the enemy camp and suddenly stopped marching.

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

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

"Xiao Zhuo?" Sun Lingtong felt puzzled.

Unlike Ning Zhuo withdrew his gaze from the mechanism ring; just now his mechanism ring shrank slightly, and although the degree was very slight, it still gave Unlike Ning Zhuo a warning.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's thoughts and spiritual sense were both deployed, separating fifty mechanism puppets, detaching from the main 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 behaved very bravely, shouting and rushing up, and then were ruthlessly killed by the mechanism puppets.

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

Neither Sun nor Ning could identify the origin of this magic array, seeing its array patterns and talismans, all of which were of the ancient language type.

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

Unlike 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 rushed toward Unlike Ning Zhuo!

Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't dare to be careless, decisively withdrew his spiritual sense, and no longer used the Buddha Heart Demon Seal to sense the mechanism puppets in the camp.

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

Unlike Ning Zhuo, for the sake of caution, hurriedly adjusted the remaining three hundred mechanism puppets to retreat.

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

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

Sun Lingtong catalyzed the Heavenly Gift Spirit Pupil, observed for a moment, and guessed: "It might be the connection between military forces, Xiao Zhuo!"

The four hundred or so mechanism puppets under Unlike 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 there was only Unlike Ning Zhuo's mechanism army. Therefore, the purple-black smoke captured Unlike Ning Zhuo and kept approaching.

"If that's the case, that's easy to handle!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo took a deep breath, clapped his palms together in front of his chest, making a crisp sound.

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

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

Fire Element—Nine Heavens Fire Dragon Technique!

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

Unlike Ning Zhuo whispered in his mouth, speaking very fast.

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

The dragon roar sounded, the flames burned fiercely, and quickly spread throughout the enemy camp!

The Nine Heavens Fire Dragon Technique was one of the most classic spells in the Fire Element, famous in the cultivation world. The spell simulated the Nine Heavens Divine Fire, condensed into a fire dragon form, and controlled it to burn the enemy.

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

The Qi Refining stage only had one fire dragon, the Foundation Establishment stage had two; Unlike Ning Zhuo was now at the Foundation Establishment cultivation base, but possessed Jin Dan combat strength, so he condensed three.

One of the reasons why the Nine Heavens Fire Dragon Technique was a classic of the Fire Element was that it was universally applicable to the cultivator's path from the early, middle, to late stages.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Boom!

The enemy camp suddenly produced a violent explosion.

The retreating barbarian spear-wielding Jin Dan cultivator had a gloomy face. The double traps he had carefully laid out in the military camp had not succeeded.

"Damn! It just so happened that I encountered a mechanism army." The spear-wielding Jin Dan felt hateful and uneasy.

The Jin Dan cultivator's gaze locked onto Unlike Ning Zhuo, wanting to imprint the image of this enemy deep in the deepest part of his heart.

At this moment, Unlike Ning Zhuo gathered the sea of fire, only letting it burn the enemy camp, not spreading to the mountains and forests, leaving disaster 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 stretched very long, projected on the distant mountain wall, like a dark giant spirit god.

The spear-wielding Jin Dan saw Unlike 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 powerful military system of the Liangzhu Kingdom. We have already mobilized local barbarian tribes from various mountain tops for bitter training."

"But the coordination 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 mechanism army is really good. The actual combat effect is also excellent; the Thousand Peaks Forest should also have made a few."

Unlike Ning Zhuo finished off the enemy camp on the mountainside and quickly reviewed his mechanism army.

Originally there were more than four hundred mechanism puppets; after the battle just now, nearly one hundred had been damaged, leaving more than three hundred.

"At least lost more than 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones." Unlike Ning Zhuo assessed his losses.

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

"I spent more than 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones in exchange for my current Jin Dan combat strength."

"This is actually quite cost-effective!"

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

The essence of the hundred arts of cultivation is actually seeking cost-effectiveness—using more ingenious ways to utilize resources to achieve more effects.

The hundred arts of cultivation are like a lever. The more superb and mysterious the technique, the less and cheaper resources can be used to pry out more and stronger power.

Unlike Ning Zhuo scanned this battlefield.

Sun Lingtong's reconnaissance and the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon's reconnaissance all told him that there were no other ambushes around. Unlike Ning Zhuo was expressionless and led the mechanism army to kill toward the foot of the mountain.

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

The spear-wielding Jin Dan cultivator led a part of the remnant army to launch a long-range attack on Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's mechanism army, under the blessing of the Light Body Gale Formation, moved lightly, very fast, dodged 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-wielding Jin Dan cultivator performed poorly and did not intercept Unlike Ning Zhuo, causing him to kill to his rear. In this way, it created a situation where Unlike Ning Zhuo's mechanism army and the Three Generals Camp attacked him from inside and outside.

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

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

His tribe was not prosperous, and now those around him were the 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 Unlike Ning Zhuo and the Three Generals Camp attacked from inside and outside to win, was also something the spear-wielding Jin Dan did not want to see.

No one missed a single word of the content!

The spear-wielding Jin Dan gritted his teeth and led his subordinates to support urgently.

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

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

The barbarian army was not without a formation.

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

The Wilderness Hunting Formation was one of the typical ones.

This kind of formation was a dynamic formation gradually created by barbarian cultivators in the wilderness when they hunted daily and cooperated closely with each other to a certain extent.

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

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

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

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

He didn't care about the life or death of the mechanism puppets at all; oh, mechanism puppets didn't care about life or death, but barbarian cultivators were different, all of them were flesh and blood.

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

It was the first time Unlike Ning Zhuo fully felt the army's operation.

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

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

Fighting with the double-axe Jin Dan's subordinates, the pressure increased a lot, but that was it. It was like rising from thin porridge to rice.

Although the other party formed a battle formation, it was still ordinary.

"They lack training, the soldiers have complex origins, each has old grudges, and it is difficult to unite. This leads to a large number of people, but insufficient military strength."

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

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

Unlike Ning Zhuo's mechanism army and Liu, Guan, and Zhang's Three Generals Camp both had the blessing of national strength.

And the Thousand Peaks Forest did not establish a country, so the army only had military strength, without the assistance of national strength.

This was not because the Dragon King with Ginseng Whiskers was unwilling to establish a country, but because establishing a country was very difficult. Even Soul Transformation levels did not dare to try easily.

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

Usually, the monarch must possess the royal mandate. Just this point alone blocked too many ambitious people.

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

Even if the spear-wielding 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 back to attack Unlike 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 recuperate, 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, 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 required one person to be the main formation.

Zhang Hei and Guan Hong were no longer bound, like black tigers out of the gate and red dragons breaking the lock, and killed their way out.

In the barbarian army, there were naturally more than two Jin Dan cultivators, and there were other Jin Dan cultivators. Seeing Guan and Zhang killing their way out, they immediately took action and intercepted them halfway.

Zhang Hei cast the Black Wave Surging Technique, with the Heavenly Gift Mad Python Tendon inside and the Black Snake Spear outside, the more he fought, the more strength he had, and the more fierce his attack was.

Guan Hong catalyzed the Red Face Blood Tribulation Scripture, held the Blood Dragon Knife, and suddenly cast a military strategy—Single Knife Straight In!

The blood light surged, turned into a knife glow, and directly pierced through the barbarian army.

The barbarian Jin Dan roared and pounced on Guan Hong.

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

Heavenly Gift—Thousand Beards Reflecting Blood!

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

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

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

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

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

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

The spear-wielding Jin Dan retreated rapidly, his eyelids jumping. It was because the fierce energy Unlike Ning Zhuo displayed was truly frightening.

Various spells were smashed down indiscriminately, injuring many of his own mechanism puppets.

Even the friendly Liu Er, seeing Unlike Ning Zhuo's battle method, couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of a big family descendant, how many mechanism 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, causing the Jin Dan opponent to 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 squeezed it to explode.

The second barbarian Jin Dan cultivator fell!

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

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

Ning, Guan, and Zhang took the opportunity to sweep them, killing countless.
