Chapter 540: If fate brings you harm

Water waves surge, never stopping.

Golden light shoots, earth and stones fly. Occasionally, flames take shape and wood strips dance.

Five-element spells are used in turn in Ning Zhuo's hands, suppressing the Jin Dan cultivator Yan Jin until he cannot lift his head.

"Damn it!"

"Even with a magic treasure bell in hand, I can only fall into a disadvantage."

"Is this kid really only sixteen years old?"

Yan Jin grits his teeth, supporting with all his might.

The next moment, he widens his eyes, astonished to find that the bell in front of him begins to crack.

He can still support it, but the magic treasure bell is about to reach its limit.

When it comes down to it, this bell was never a tool for attack, but an auxiliary tool specially built for refining weapons.

"Oh, it's about to fail to support it." Ning Zhuo's heart moves, and he keenly notices this scene.

He decisively reduces the strength of his strike and the frequency of casting spells.

Yan Jin immediately feels the pressure greatly reduced.

He feels grief and indignation in his heart: "I am unworthy of being a cultivation senior, actually facing a sixteen-year-old boy and becoming a living target."

"This kid is not human, taking me to practice his spells!"

Yan Jin feels humiliated.

Ning Zhuo is even more excited.

"So I can be so powerful?"

"This is all because the physical foundation is much stronger, allowing me to get more support from the 'Brave Man Returning Technique' military strategy."

"The stronger my strength, the stronger the power of the spells."

"The weakness now is that my own magic power is not enough. However, there is currently military strength that can be consumed on my behalf."

Ning Zhuo has experienced many wars, and personal experience makes him understand that military strength is equivalent to a public magic power pool. The capacity of this magic power pool often far exceeds that of an individual.

The military strength of Ning Zhuo's mechanical army is of course not comparable to the Red Flower Camp, nor the Three Generals Camp, but don't forget—Ning Zhuo is an army by himself.

The entire military strength is used by him!

"Boss, speaking of which, you are still the powerful one."

"If it weren't for you thinking of the correct usage of the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat, I would never have made such rapid progress in such a short time!"

In the Ten-Thousand-Mile Wandering Dragon, Sun Lingtong laughs, not humble at all: "That's for sure."

Ning Zhuo doesn't know that Sun Lingtong's mood at this time is even happier than his.

"Little Zhuo, I haven't seen you smile so heartily for a long time." Sun Lingtong's eyes are like smoke and clouds, seeing the past in a trance.

The first time he talked to Ning Zhuo, the latter cried.

To save his mother, the small body carried heavy shackles. From the age of two, he began to plan the Molten Lava Immortal Palace, facing the City Lord's Mansion, the three major families, and many Jin Dan-level, and even Soul Transformation-level cultivators, simply like an ant wanting to challenge a mountain.

This is such huge pressure!

But Sun Lingtong could not persuade Ning Zhuo to change his mind.

Because he himself was the same kind of person.

In order to rescue his master, how many times did Sun Lingtong disregard his own life and risk death to sneak into the Molten Lava Immortal Palace.

Injured time and time again, narrowly escaped death time and time again, disappointed time and time again, constantly approaching despair.

"Now, I have walked out. But Little Zhuo hasn't!"

Ning Zhuo's plan to save his mother never hid from Sun Lingtong.

"Resurrection just by relying on spirituality?"

Sun Lingtong knows deeply that this plan is so unrealistic, and the hope is extremely slim.

"Even if it is soul possession, there are huge drawbacks, and it will be constantly pulled by the underworld. Once falling into the underworld, the soul will suffer more painful punishment!"

"Resurrecting the dead, even in the way of demons, is a major taboo. To succeed, it is extremely difficult, and the price paid is often higher than the harvest!"

But Sun Lingtong could not persuade Ning Zhuo, because he had done the same before and simply didn't have the qualifications.

Once upon a time, he was single-mindedly wanting to find his benefactor. Even if he risked death, he had no scruples.

But gradually, Sun Lingtong had a new worry in his heart—If I die, what will happen to Little Zhuo?

As he spent more time with Ning Zhuo, the weight of his worry in his heart became greater.

"My life, my life, was saved by you, Little Zhuo!"

"So, no matter how difficult this road to save your mother is, I will always be with you."

"Just..."

Sun Lingtong is a person who has come over, and from the bottom of his heart, he does not want Ning Zhuo to go all the way to the dark.

Therefore, even if Ning Zhuo only has Foundation Establishment cultivation, he also travels, and Sun Lingtong also maintains twelve points of welcome and support.

"Little Zhuo, Fire Persimmon Immortal City is like a cage, a heavy shackle on your body and mind."

"You stay in the city for one day, and you plan the Molten Lava Immortal Palace for one day."

"You have lived in Fire Persimmon Immortal City for too long, you have lived there since you were a child, you have endured for sixteen years in the city, but endurance is definitely not the main color of life, Little Zhuo."

The experience of wandering allowed Ning Zhuo to see many different sceneries and different lives.

The war in the Two-Note Kingdom made Ning Zhuo feel afraid, but also quite excited.

Fierce fighting and war are the most eager yearnings hidden in the heart of every male.

"The past you was like a volcano suppressing yourself. Your anger, unwillingness, schemes, and ambitions all had to be endured and hidden in your heart. Once erupted, it was earth-shattering."

"And now the heroism of the battlefield has infected you, Little Zhuo."

Ambush battle, Thousand Peaks Forest exploration battle, Iron Flow Flat Plain grand meeting battle...

Liu, Generals Guan, Zhang, Mu Lan, Shuang Jing, Gu Ya, Tu Ming...

These wars and these people have brought subtle influences to Ning Zhuo.

The bystander sees clearly.

Ning Zhuo thinks he has made great progress in strength and is very happy.

Sun Lingtong knows: If it were the Ning Zhuo who had just walked out of Fire Persimmon Immortal City and encountered such things, he would only curl his mouth and secretly be happy that such changes would help resurrect his mother.

And he would never have such a hearty smile.

"You are only sixteen years old, this is the smile a teenager should have."

"Just wander like this."

"Go see all kinds of ugliness and beauty, go experience all kinds of excitement and interesting things."

"Life originally has infinite possibilities, and there are countless different ways of living."

"Your life cannot only have difficult and huge goals, but also be interesting, bright, and luminous!"

All along, Sun Lingtong has had such a worry—If the plan to resurrect his mother fails completely in the future, what kind of heavy blow will he suffer?

Will he be like the Sun Lingtong of the past, his heart like dead ashes, and have no interest in life?

Therefore, Sun Lingtong very much hopes that Ning Zhuo can experience the many beauties of life.

He wants to see Ning Zhuo's interaction with Lin Lin Shanshan, and also wants to see Ning Zhuo's dual cultivation with Mu Lan, not just watching the fun.

And Sun Lingtong accompanied Ning Zhuo on his travels, and his motivation was also very simple and pure—

"Little Zhuo."

"If cruel fate brings you harm, difficulty, deprives you of happiness, and brings you heavy burdens."

"Then, let me make up for all of this!"

This is the decision Sun Lingtong made deep in his heart long ago.

Bang.

Under Ning Zhuo's increasingly fierce offensive, the magic treasure bell finally reached its limit and collapsed, shattering into countless pieces.

Yan Jin, who had been urging the bell and was closely connected, suffered a backlash and knelt on the ground vomiting blood.

"Little Zhuo, good opportunity." Sun Lingtong shouted, "Capture him alive!"

"Okay, Boss!"

Ning Zhuo takes a deep breath, pinches the finger spell with one hand, releases deep green vines, takes out a stack of talismans with the other hand, directly activates them, and shoots them out. The vines entangle rapidly, binding Yan Jin tightly and binding him in place.

The talismans hit him one after another, sticking tightly to all parts of his body, sealing him firmly. Not only could he not mobilize magic power, but even his spiritual sense could not be emitted, unable to move.

"Hahaha. I did it, this is the first Jin Dan-level enemy I have captured alive." Ning Zhuo jumps and laughs.

In the Ten-Thousand-Mile Wandering Dragon, Sun Lingtong gives a thumbs up, sincerely feeling happy for Ning Zhuo: "Little Zhuo, powerful. You only have Foundation Establishment cultivation, but you captured a Jin Dan alive!"

Ning Zhuo flies down, doesn't walk close to Yan Jin rashly, but mobilizes spiritual sense to observe, and casts detection spells to confirm.

While casting spells, he secretly communicates with Sun Lingtong: "It's a pity that the bell broke first, and I haven't measured my own limit."

Sun Lingtong laughs: "Little Zhuo, you fool. This actually doesn't have much meaning, does it?"

Ning Zhuo is slightly stunned, then understands Sun Lingtong's implication.

Indeed.

Through the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat, his physical cultivation will continue to soar.

What if the combat power limit is measured now?

After a while, it will change again.

!

Ning Zhuo's expression becomes serious, and he gradually walks to Yan Jin: "Boss, what you said is right."

"I was a bit carried away."

"The progress and achievements I have made now are nothing."

"Capturing a Jin Dan alive? I just relied on military strategy and five-element realm, and the former was brought to me by the soldiers' armor and Gao Sheng's suicide note, and the latter was taught by the Five-Element God Lord."

"Even the physical realm was achieved by you, by the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat. My own effort accounts for very little."

"Thank you, Boss."

"You can always remind me in a subtle way!"

Sun Lingtong scratches his head: "Little Zhuo, this..."

Another battlefield.

Liu, Generals Guan, and Zhang take turns activating military strategies, constantly bombarding the fire curtain.

Triple fire curtain!

Fairy Yan Liu's brows are tightly furrowed, going all out to activate the power of the great formation.

Heat waves roll in, and many soldiers suddenly self-ignite, screaming and being burned into human sticks.

The three generals Liu, Generals Guan, and Zhang are either solemn, calm, or roaring, all activating military strategies.

Fairy Yan Liu is excited in her heart: "Can hold it!"

"The Three Generals Camp is poorly trained, lacks elite soldiers, and their military equipment is not excellent, so their military strength is insufficient."

"Their total military strength cannot support them in continuously activating three military strategies for a fierce attack."

"What's more, they still have to reserve a portion of military strength to add to themselves to prevent being burned out by the flames!"

However, the next moment, Liu Er suddenly roars: "Just at this time, attack with all your might!"

Generals Guan and Zhang obey orders.

The blade light splits the first fire curtain, the black spear pierces the second, and the sword light tears the third!

"How is it possible? You actually saw through the nodes of the fire curtain?!" Fairy Yan Liu looks at Liu Er in disbelief.

Generals Guan and Zhang are powerful, consuming most of their military strength, so it is not surprising that they can blast open the fire curtain.

The key is Liu Er's sword light, which is very weak, almost without mobilizing military strength, but it accurately hits the node of the fire curtain, defeating the last layer of defense with clever force.

Liu Er doesn't answer, but continues to swing his sword.

The sword light shoots, aiming at Fairy Yan Liu's throat.

"Don't even think about it!" Fairy Yan Liu shouts and reveals her trump card.

Dense talismans suddenly appear on her body, the talismans are bright red, burning like flames. In an instant, Fairy Yan Liu turns into a human-shaped flame.

Although the sword light hits the human-shaped flame, it directly cuts off the head. But the next moment, the flames connect to each other and turn into a complete human shape again.

"Want to kill me, you are still too early." Fairy Yan Liu is about to retreat.

Talent—Purple Beard Startled Goose!

Generals Guan Hong finally catches his breath and releases his talent, fixing Fairy Yan Liu.

"Ah ah ah ah!" Zhang Hei flies out of the battle formation, raises his black snake spear over his head, and stabs fiercely at the human-shaped flame.

Martial Art—Black Python Strangling!

Military strength, magic power, and energy are mixed together, forming a thick black python-like military energy at the spear tip.

The fierce pitch-black military energy, like a black python opening its giant mouth, stabs the human-shaped flame in an instant.

Generals Guan Hong suddenly kneels on the ground, panting.

The Purple Beard Startled Goose is canceled, and in an instant, Fairy Yan Liu recovers her mobility, only to see herself pierced by the black snake spear.

"It's useless, I am now a fire-attribute dharma body, uh!"

The next moment, the pitch-black military energy erupts, like a black python opening its giant mouth, directly swallowing the prey.

Flames rise, bursting with dazzling light.

But it is Fairy Yan Liu's last futile struggle.

The pitch-black military energy strangles all the flames and dissipates.

Only a dim, incomplete Jin Dan is left, floating down in mid-air, and then grabbed by Zhang Hei.

Zhang Hei lands on the ground, holding the fist of the Jin Dan high: "The enemy has been beheaded by me!"

Woo!

The Three Generals Camp erupts in enthusiastic cheers.

"Won." Generals Guan Hong spits out a mouthful of turbid air and slowly stands up straight.

Liu Er quickly scans the whole army, estimates the losses, and issues orders one after another to clean up the battlefield and take over the great formation.

"There is an empty room underground here, hiding the Vermilion Bird Incense Burner."

According to Liu Er's instructions, the soldiers indeed dug out this magic treasure that serves as the heart of the formation.

"In this way, we have mastered the great formation of the Ten-Mile Burning Forest." Generals Guan Hong smiles, feeling very gratified.

Zhang Hei asks curiously: "Big brother, how did you discover the secret? This underground empty room is arranged very high, able to shield spiritual sense scanning."

Liu Er hesitates, but does not answer.

This is his talent "Spirit Sound Exploring Veins" at work.

This talent allows Liu Er's hearing to be superb, able to hear sounds from afar, explore the ins and outs, and distinguish right from wrong.

The point is to explore the ins and outs.

So the detection ability of Spirit Sound Exploring Veins is weak, and it is strong in getting to the bottom of things.

By the time the battle reached now, Liu Er slowly explored the root of the fire curtain and the details of the great formation.

Before, the nodes on the fire curtain were also discovered this way.

"No, we can't control this forest-protecting great formation for the time being." The three generals tried, but all ended in failure.

"First put away the Vermilion Bird Incense Burner and seal the great formation." Liu Er orders, "We must immediately go to support the military advisor."

Zhang Hei says carelessly: "Don't worry, the bell sound has stopped just now, it must be that the military advisor has won."

Generals Guan Hong strokes his beard: "Precisely because of this, we should go to support the military advisor even more."

Zhang Hei: "Ah?"

Liu Er explains: "Just as we can't hear the bell sound, the military advisor will no longer suffer the fire curtain's attack, and the fire in the burning forest will also decrease greatly. He will realize that we have also defeated Fairy Yan Liu."

"You say, how will he act?"

Zhang Hei: "We found this place because of your guidance, big brother. The military advisor doesn't know the location, either he will return to the original place of separation, or... go straight to the Fire-Crowned Divine Cedar in the center?"

Liu Er nods: "That's right. Luo Chen hasn't appeared until now, he must have had some changes or accidents."

"According to the military advisor's ability, the possibility of rushing there to investigate the military situation is very high."

Zhang Hei thinks of Ning Zhuo not fearing Du Tiechuan's summoning before, but worrying about being punished for beheading the Iron Eagle, and agrees greatly: "The military advisor is very brave! Then let's immediately rush to the Fire-Crowned Divine Cedar and join the military advisor, hahaha."
