Chapter 548: Layout

Sun Lingtong's expression was anxious, staring tightly at the Ice Pipa: "Xiao Zhuo, you restrain Heaven Frost, I will try once to steal this magic treasure!"

Ning Zhuo: "My Buddha is above, such Buddha treasures harm the world; clearing them away one day earlier is one day earlier of creating welfare for the world."

Sun Lingtong was speechless for a moment: "Alright, Xiao Zhuo, I'm making a move."

While speaking, Heaven Frost took a deep breath and pressed his palms together in front of his chest.

Divine Ability—Mysterious Yin Frozen Realm!

In an instant, centered on Heaven Frost, an ice mist barrier of a hundred feet was unfolded.

In the barrier, mist permeated, condensing countless inverted ice cones. The ice cones presented a miserable green, deep black color, with gloomy talismans drawn on the surface. Inside every ice cone, a Cold Prison Weeping Ghost was sealed, bringing a highly threatening lethality to the ice cones.

Sun and Ning were both trapped in the barrier, and their hair stood on end.

Sun Lingtong warned loudly: "Xiao Zhuo, be very careful!"

The two of them had long ago learned about the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts, and one of the items was about the Mysterious Yin Frozen Realm.

This itself was a spell, involving space, ice frost, ghost paths, and many other mysterious uses.

Heaven Frost realized the essence of the spell and mastered the principles within, thus elevating it to a divine ability!

Once this divine ability was cast, it could form a huge barrier in a very short time. In the barrier, cold energy surged, capable of freezing body and mind. The talismans on the ice cones not only had the effect of sealing but could also cooperate with the Cold Prison Weeping Ghosts to exchange souls.

The Cold Prison Weeping Ghosts were bound in the bitterly cold prison, attracting external living beings through wailing, winning sympathy.

Their wails were either heart-rending, or light weeping, or mournful and soft, varying from person to person, most capable of moving a specific target.

Once this target living being was infected and shed tears due to sympathy, the Cold Prison Weeping Ghost would succeed, exchanging its own soul with the target's, thus escaping the ice prison.

Once Ning Zhuo was hit, his own soul would fall into the ice cone, and his physical body would be occupied by some ghost in the ice cone!

Cold energy surged, rushing toward his face, greatly interfering with Ning Zhuo's vision.

Countless ice cones shot out, piercing through the cold smoke and shooting toward Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo drove the Somersault Cloud, dodging rapidly in the air, occasionally flipping, only having the skill of dodging, without the power to counterattack.

It was because he was still suffering from the attack of the pipa sound at this time.

"Lord, the last general will protect you!" At the critical moment, Yuan Yuan Dasheng stepped forward again, using his body as a shield to block almost all the ice cones for Ning Zhuo.

Hundreds of ice cones were stuck on his body, densely packed, and even layered on top of each other.

The Black Iron Cloud under his feet also suffered, directly collapsing! This magic treasure level cloud, under the terrifying ice cone offensive, suffered a miserable destruction.

Yuan Yuan Dasheng turned his head with difficulty, looked at Ning Zhuo, and then the brilliance in his eyes rapidly dissipated.

"You have worked hard. Come back!" Ning Zhuo sighed, released flames, and carried out scorching.

The ice cones on Yuan Yuan Dasheng's body screamed in pain and scattered in a rush.

Ning Zhuo put the Heavy-Armored Blood Ape Yuan Dasheng, who was burned beyond recognition, back into his pocket.

Wailing sounds rang out on his body.

Although he dodged everywhere and had Yuan Yuan Dasheng's protection, he was finally hit by a few ice cones.

The ice cones were stuck on his body, and the Cold Prison Weeping Ghosts inside immediately launched an offensive, wailing sounds coming from inside his body, immediately causing Ning Zhuo's eye sockets to turn red.

"Terrible! Xiao Zhuo, your spirit sea is full of Buddha thoughts." Sun Lingtong was shocked.

"My Buddha is compassionate!" Ning Zhuo's face was full of sorrow, "As the saying goes, if I don't enter hell, who enters hell..."

"Fart!" Sun Lingtong roared. At the critical moment, he finally couldn't hold back and directly made a move.

Stealing Art—Real Copying Hand!

The ice cones stuck on Ning Zhuo's body disappeared in an instant and appeared in the Ten Thousand Mile Roaming Dragon.

Ning Zhuo turned danger into safety!

But after this incident, Sun Lingtong was already exposed to the eyes of Heaven Frost, Zhu Zhu Xuanji, Lin Bufan, and Fairy Fairy Hongxiu.

Fairy Fairy Hongxiu let out a soft "eh".

Lin Bufan frowned: "The one who made the move just now doesn't seem to be Ning Zhuo."

Zhu Zhu Xuanji nodded: "Of course."

As a Divine Catcher, he had long known that Sun Lingtong was by Ning Zhuo's side. In the Fire Persimmon Immortal City, he had dealt with Sun Lingtong and had a very deep impression of the latter.

After all, in Zhu Zhu Xuanji's entire life, he had rarely experienced being "porcelain-touched" or having someone hug his thigh in the middle of the street.

Heaven Frost roared: "No matter how many helpers you hide, you will all perish in my Mysterious Yin Frozen Realm!"

His Buddha thoughts had been eliminated by half, and his own strength had more room to play.

Ning Zhuo controlled the Somersault Cloud, struggling for his life in the Mysterious Yin Frozen Realm.

His Somersault Cloud was only at the magic treasure level and was soon scrapped.

"Xiao Zhuo, use mine!" Sun Lingtong immediately lent his Somersault Cloud.

Back then, in the Fire Persimmon Immortal City, Ning Zhuo also bought one for Sun Lingtong.

Because it was Sun Lingtong who took the initiative to lend it, Ning Zhuo took it and used it without any lag.

But obviously, this magic treasure level cloud would not support him for long.

Heaven Frost whistled and threw out another magic treasure.

This was a cold jade coffin that was transparent all over, presenting an ice-blue luster. The coffin was carved from Mysterious Yin Cold Jade from the extreme cold land, crystal clear; just by looking at it, one could feel the coldness deep into the bone marrow.

Complicated and ancient talismans were carved around the coffin body. The talismans emitted a dark blue light.

Ice crystals were embedded on the edge of the coffin body, and the ice frost condensed by the cold energy formed natural patterns on the surface of the coffin body, like snowflakes blooming in the cold winter.

The coffin lid was covered with complex array patterns, and these array patterns combined with each other to form a magic array. The center of the magic array was at the center of the coffin lid, forming the appearance of an ice-blue ghost eye.

Four cold beads of different colors were embedded around the coffin lid; these cold beads each contained four forces of extreme cold, capable of enhancing the power of the Mysterious Yin Ice Coffin.

Through the transparent coffin body, one could vaguely see the ice-sealed corpse puppet inside from the outside.

The corpse puppet was sealed in the cold jade, with a ferocious face, carrying the resentment and unwillingness before death, making people shudder.

Magic Treasure—Mysterious Yin Ice Coffin!

Seeing Heaven Frost take out the ice coffin, Earth Ghost immediately opened his mouth: "What are you messing around with? Don't open the coffin randomly; do you know how much money I have to spend to open the coffin once?!"

"To deal with a mere Foundation Establishment, you still have to open the coffin?!"

"Hmph! Shut up." Heaven Frost refuted, but in the end, he didn't open the coffin, but instead channeled the ice coffin itself, erupting a stream of gloomy cold energy.

The gloomy cold energy rushed toward Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo's fingers felt pain, and his heart was immediately shocked.

At the critical moment, the Mechanical Ring warned him not to take it head-on. Taking it head-on would definitely be life-threatening!

Ning Zhuo hurriedly dodged. Pale Iron Han Armor!

In order to increase his own speed, he tried his best, and even the mechanical armor was worn in an instant.

Mechanical Art—Wind Thunder Move!

The spirit stones in the Pale Iron Han Armor were consumed wildly, turning into a vast spiritual power. The spiritual power was finally channeled into two wind and thunder talismans, each the size of a palm with complex patterns.

The talismans each erupted with wind power and thunder power, following the internal array patterns of the Pale Iron Han Armor, merging and combining, finally forming a brand new power—

Wind Thunder Move!

Cyan-green electric light lingered around the Pale Iron Han Armor.

In an instant, the speed of the Pale Iron Han Armor soared to the extreme.

Mechanical Art—Iron Clothing Cold!

The defensive array in the Pale Iron Han Armor was channeled to its strongest state, operating with a buzzing sound.

In the magic array, the power of Gold and Water elements erupted, emitting biting cold energy, and also carrying gold nature, covering the entire Pale Iron Han Armor, making it both offensive and defensive, with its defense soaring to the extreme.

The two major mechanical arts of the Pale Iron Han Armor were almost simultaneously channeled by Ning Zhuo.

Ten breaths later.

Ning Zhuo's Somersault Cloud was scrapped, and the surface of the Pale Iron Han Armor was covered in scars; this was still the result after Ning Zhuo dodged with all his might.

Mechanical Art—Pale Dragon Fighting the Sky!

On the back, shoulder blades, as well as the elbows and wrists of the Pale Iron Han Armor, the armor plates were suddenly lifted, revealing the explosive talismans hidden inside.

The talismans lit up with dazzling white light, accompanied by Ning Zhuo's movement and posture, assisting Ning Zhuo, causing his speed to soar in a certain direction.

The mechanical art originally used for fighting was the combat power manifestation of the Pale Iron Han Armor. But facing a strong enemy like Heaven Frost, Ning Zhuo could only use it to dodge, alleviating the crisis.

As Heaven Frost's combat power was exerted more and more, Ning Zhuo's dodging also became increasingly perilous.

The mechanical ring warned frequently, and Sun Lingtong made moves one after another in the Mechanical Roaming Dragon, both of which gave Ning Zhuo powerful help, only then allowing him to continue struggling for survival in the Mysterious Yin Frozen Realm.

Mechanism—Floating Ice White Jade Hand!

Ning Zhuo used the mechanical creation to freeze a certain limb part of his own, healing himself.

He scattered his spiritual sense, observing the Three Generals Camp.

The Three Generals Camp was always being beaten, in an extremely passive situation, and the three generals were also exhausted, panting, while Earth Ghost was still far away, not even increasing a trace of injury.

Ning Zhuo originally had hopes for Liu Er and others, but seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Xiao Zhuo, we should retreat! Staying any longer will have no benefit." Sun Lingtong issued an emergency reminder.

Ning Zhuo did not speak.

Lin Bufan, who was hiding in the dark, also opened his mouth: "Ning Zhuo has supported until now, far exceeding my expectations, which is extremely not easy. If there are any means or arrangements, they should be activated as soon as possible to prevent accidents."

Zhu Zhu Xuanji nodded, suddenly smiled, and turned his gaze to the distance: "My arrangement has already arrived."

Lin Bufan also followed his gaze, only seeing a dense mountain forest.

He observed carefully again, channeled spells, channeled spiritual sense, and discovered a clue.

Lin Bufan's pupils shrank: "Quite a few people have come. Powerful, this kind of hidden means can already compete with my One Leaf Covering Eyes Art."

These words immediately caused Zhu Zhu Xuanji to look sideways, the latter wanting to speak but stopping.

"Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts, you actually still dare to come here!" "The hatred from the previous time, I want you two to pay back a hundredfold!"

"Kill, beat these two ghosts until their souls fly away and scatter!!"

A group of cultivators suddenly appeared, forcefully intervening in the battlefield.

The unexpected appearance of reinforcements made Liu, Generals Guan, Zhang, Ning, Sun, and others both surprised and happy.

Ning Zhuo recognized that the group of people who came to reinforce were all familiar faces, the Nascent Soul cultivators in the main army of the two countries.

"How did they come? It's also a bit too timely." Ning Zhuo couldn't help but be curious.

He didn't know that the movements of the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts had already been leaked to the main army of the two countries by Zhu Zhu Xuanji through an inside agent.

"Heaven Ghost, True Person Lieyang is here!"

True Person Lieyang flew into the high sky and took out his life-bound magic treasure, the Golden Crow Burning Heaven Mirror.

He channeled his main cultivation method, the Golden Crow Patrolling Heaven Art, and immediately summoned the phantom of the Three-Legged Golden Crow from the Golden Crow Burning Heaven Mirror.

The phantom flapped its wings and flew high, rushing into the Mysterious Yin Frozen Realm, heading straight for the ice coffin.

Wherever it went, heat waves surged, the cold energy greatly dissipated, and even the coffin lid of the ice coffin showed signs of melting in this dazzling golden sunlight.

Heaven Frost hurriedly put away the ice coffin, channeled thousands of ice cones, shot out of the barrier, and pounced toward True Person Lieyang.

The second cultivator flew behind True Person Lieyang, who was none other than the Daoist Mountain Peak Child.

Mountain Peak Child had long been brewing and fermenting, and at this moment, he pinched the finger formula, channeling a spell—Five Peaks Soul-Suppressing Seal!

A magic seal rapidly expanded, swelling to the size of a small mountain.

In the light and shadow of the seal, one could vaguely see the eight square ancient talismans engraved on the bottom of the seal: "Edict to Suppress Ten Thousand Ghosts, Five Peaks Soul-Suppressing".

Once the magic seal came out, it immediately suppressed all the ice cones.

The Ice Prison Weeping Ghosts in the ice cones had no power to resist and were all suppressed to death.

The third Nascent Soul cultivator was a hunchbacked old man, holding a damaged bronze sundial.

He dripped Time Snake Poison onto the sundial, the sundial was triggered, rotated in reverse, and emitted bronze brilliance.

The brilliance shone on the barrier, and the entire Mysterious Yin Frozen Realm was like time flowing backward, automatically receding, and in a few breaths of time, it completely dissipated.

Heaven Frost spat out a small mouthful of blood, glanced at the three Nascent Soul cultivators, and actually advanced instead of retreating, rushing toward Ning Zhuo!

Catching Ning Zhuo and completing the sect's mission was the biggest purpose of his trip.

Ning Zhuo retreated at full speed, without hesitation detonating all the talismans in the Pale Iron Han Armor, increasing his speed to the limit.

The hunchbacked old man turned his wrist slightly, letting the bronze brilliance also shine on Ning Zhuo.

In an instant, the time of Ning Zhuo himself accelerated, causing him to rapidly widen the distance between himself and Heaven Frost, and soon he was out of danger.

The reinforcements of the two countries were obviously prepared, not just targeting Heaven Frost, but also dealing with Earth Ghost.

Last time, the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts and other cultivators snatched treasures underground on the battlefield, suppressing the entire main army of the two countries, bringing the latter huge humiliation.

The main army of the two countries suffered a loss, reflected afterward, and fully exerted the advantage of having many people and great industry. This group came to form a team, not only were the personnel all carefully selected, but the means used were also carefully planned.

"Zhu Divine Catcher's layout is good!" Lin Bufan saw this and sighed, feeling moved.

He connected the front and back and figured out a lot of things.

Since Fairy Fairy Hongxiu was the layout of the Nandou Kingdom in the Thousand Peaks Forest, then before, Fairy Fairy Hongxiu and others took the initiative to invite the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts to snatch heavy treasures, which was naturally instructed by Zhu Zhu Xuanji behind the scenes.

At that time, Zhu Zhu Xuanji on one hand arranged for Lin Bufan to look after Ning Zhuo who was attacking the Ten Mile Burning Forest, and on the other hand, arranged for Fairy Fairy Hongxiu to guide the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts to make a scene on the battlefield.

This plan was not just to let the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts have no time to capture Ning Zhuo, but also had another intention, which was to establish a contradiction between the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts and the main army of the two countries.

Now, this layer of contradiction exploded, used by Zhu Zhu Xuanji.

Letting Zhu Zhu Xuanji sit by and watch, borrowing the power of the two countries to deal with the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts. On one hand, he could protect his own person Ning Zhuo, and on the other hand, he could weaken the power of the two countries and the Thousand Peaks Forest, continuing to increase their friction and hatred. ===== CHAPTER 549 =====
