Chapter 560: Power of Mechanisms!
The two armies confronted each other!
o¢o
Dark clouds churned in the sky, like ink.
This was the residual power from the previous battle between Lei Lei Qingyang and the Blood Shadow Cave Master.
The battle between Li Li Jiuqu and Mo Mo Yechen was still continuing.
Long Ye gave an order, and nearly ten Nascent Soul level cultivators went down to the field together, calling for battle in unison.
A female cultivator flew out from the camp of the two countries.
She wore a mask, her right arm replaced by a mechanical arm. With long gray-white hair, she was not young.
She rose rapidly into the sky, her sleeves fluttering under the dark clouds, her face like iron, and she provoked loudly: "You all come together!"
Around her, hundreds of flying mechanical fairy maidens circled, dancing continuously, arching her in the center.
Facing such a provocation, the nearly ten Nascent Soul cultivators of the Thousand Peaks Forest alliance stopped and looked at each other.
It was impossible to swarm up!
The military strategy of calling for battle was like this; it was best to have a one-on-one duel at the same level, so that the result could shake morale and military heart.
If it was many against few, even if they could win, the impact on morale and military heart was limited.
Conversely, if it was few winning against many, or weak winning against strong, such as Golden Core winning against Nascent Soul, the impact on morale would be more intense and fierce.
Therefore, if these Nascent Soul cultivators really swarmed up, even if they defeated the Mechanical Princess, there would be no gain.
They all knew where their side's advantage lay and would not put a large number of people on Shuang Ling. In this way, they couldn't exert the advantage of the number of high-level cultivators at all!
After looking at each other for a while, everyone transmitted via spiritual sense and communicated quickly.
"Pale Moon Tribe, Gu Ya is here!" This blue-haired savage general shouted, and was recommended by everyone to take the initiative to meet Shuang Ling.
He galloped in the air, pulled out the wolf-tooth giant club behind his back, urged the spell, and condensed hundreds of mountain wolf phantoms.
The wolf pack crashed fiercely into the mechanical fairy maidens, the wolf pack bit, and the fairy maidens waved silk to strangle.
Soon, the wolf pack suffered heavy losses, while the fairy maidens retained many.
Countless gazes were cast on the clash between the two.
Just like before, the soldiers of the two countries feared Li Li Jiuqu, and the many cultivators in the Thousand Peaks Forest alliance also had scruples about Shuang Ling.
Shuang Ling—Mechanical Princess!
Her reputation was no less than Li Li Jiuqu's, and even stronger.
She was the signboard of the two countries at the Nascent Soul level, representing the face of a cultivation country!
In the mechanical dragon, Sun and Ning were both paying strong attention.
Ning Zhuo was even more focused, his eyes unblinking.
Although Shuang Ling had conflicts with him and had confrontations in the past, as a famous mechanical cultivator, Ning Zhuo held a humble attitude and planned to learn well from Shuang Ling.
In the initial probing, Gu Ya was obviously not an opponent, immediately presenting a clear weakness.
Shuang Ling frowned slightly, but was not satisfied with this battle result.
She knew the serious disadvantage of her side; if the enemy were allowed to exert the advantage of the number of Nascent Soul cultivators, it would have a serious impact on the entire war situation.
Therefore, she had to hit a higher momentum to urge other cultivators to participate in the battle with her.
The opportunity was just in front of her.
Once others thought that Gu Ya could rely on himself to produce a war of attrition with Shuang Ling, then this group of onlookers would immediately continue to call for battle, making the army of the two countries fall into a dilemma.
So the next moment, Shuang Ling snorted coldly and released twenty suspended repeating crossbows.
The repeating crossbows lined up on her right side, the formation neat and square.
The next moment, the dark golden seal characters on the crossbow boxes shone brightly.
"Li Fire Arrow, release!"
The bowstrings vibrated like zither sounds, and in a few breaths, each repeating crossbow shot ten long arrows.
The arrows intertwined, forming clusters of arrow rain, shooting into the back of the wolf pack.
The speed was too fast, Gu Ya had just cast a defensive spell.
The wolf pack was rapidly annihilated in the arrow rain, clearing out a large piece.
Gu Ya's face was iron-blue, he couldn't protect himself, held the wolf-tooth club and waved continuously, knocking away the many arrows shot in front of him, quite miserable.
The arrow rain continued, and Gu Ya could only retreat continuously.
He cast defensive spells to maintain himself, waved the wolf-tooth club continuously, and released wolf pack phantoms continuously.
But no matter how many were released, the wolf pack phantoms were shot and killed.
The mechanical fairy maidens still surrounded Shuang Ling, and did not pursue the victory.
Gu Ya roared, his figure suddenly expanded by three points, and summoned three Golden Core level head wolves.
The head wolves fought regardless of their lives, wolf claws stepped on the wind, wolf howls continued, helping the master share a lot of pressure.
Gu Ya finally stabilized his position.
Seeing this, Shuang Ling immediately released twelve Great Void Suspended Bell Guards. These bronze mechanisms were all humanoid, with three heads and six arms, holding a large bell.
The bell was inverted, the bell mouth facing up, and complex star maps were engraved on the bell surface.
Clang, clang, clang...
Six arms waved continuously, fists and palms hitting the bell surface, making a series of bell sounds.
At the same time, indigo air waves surged from the bell mouth.
The air waves cooperated with the bell sounds, sweeping the surroundings.
It not only included Gu Ya, but also included the other Nascent Soul level cultivators.
The formation that Gu Ya had just stabilized faltered again amidst the bell tolls and shockwaves, leaving him in a frantic scramble.
Most cultivators knew Shuang Ling's plan, snorted coldly one after another, didn't want to fall into the trap, and retreated one after another.
Bi Teng Yi had a strong temperament and was provoked to anger: "Mechanical Princess, you want to find your own way to death, then I will fulfill you!"
Bi Teng Yi roared low, and a large piece of vines extended from her body.
The cyan-green vines spiraled and condensed in the high sky, forming nine vine pythons, rushing toward Shuang Ling.
Wherever the vine pythons went, they sprinkled countless green scale toxins. After rushing into the defense line of the mechanical fairy maidens, the green scale toxins immediately infected them, making the mechanical fairy maidens fall from the high sky like dumplings.
Seeing the formation line shaking, Shuang Ling took out two batches of mechanisms from the storage treasure.
The first batch was twenty-four Ice-Fire Mantises, the thin blades on their front limbs were covered with frost on the left and burning with red fire on the right. The mechanical mantises were extremely agile, rushing toward Gu Ya.
After participating in the battle, they immediately killed Gu Ya's three Golden Core level head wolves, and Gu Ya had to retreat frantically, the situation was critical.
The second batch was thirty-six Zhu Zhu Xuanji Armor Plates. The armor plates rotated rapidly in front of Shuang Ling, like a fan, forming a huge suction force.
The next moment, almost all the green scale toxins were sucked onto the armor plates, dyeing the armor plates into a green, oily appearance.
The armor plates combined rapidly, forming a huge shield. The tortoise shell patterns on the shield shone with silver light.
Mechanical Art—Mysterious Tortoise Sky Light Shield Return!
The next moment, a huge beam of light shot out from the shield surface, carrying all the condensed green scale toxins.
The beam of light was amazing, directly shooting off a vine python, and aimed at Bi Teng Yi.
Bi Teng Yi's expression changed greatly, she screamed, took out the magic treasure vine staff, and waved it hard in front of her.
The next moment, a huge man-eating demon flower grew wildly from the head of the vine staff.
The flower mouth opened wide, like a giant beast, just swallowing the entire beam of light.
After swallowing, the body of the man-eating demon flower expanded more than ten times, and the purple-red demon body began to turn green, struggling to digest this amazing blow.
The combined giant shield returned to its normal appearance, and then decomposed again, turning into armor plates, guarding Shuang Ling's side.
Shuang Ling stretched out her mechanical right arm, and twelve mechanical copper balls engraved with thunder patterns were ejected from her arm.
The copper balls flew rapidly, circling electric light in the air, intertwining into a piece, forming an electric net.
Mechanical Art—Electric Net Startled!
The electric net covered Bi Teng Yi.
Bi Teng Yi cast various means continuously, hitting the electric net, but they were all eliminated by the electric net.
Bi Teng Yi retreated miserably, not daring to touch its edge.
"As expected of the Nascent Soul facade of a country, the means are remarkable!" Seeing this, Gao Cuo sighed in his heart.
An old voice sounded in the bottom of his heart: "The situation of this great battle is unclear, the Whisker Dragon King has not determined to participate in the war, but we are besieging the enemy's frontline camp. You must know that Du Du Tiechuan is recuperating in this camp..."
"Gao Cuo, this is not a place to stay for long."
"You have to retreat from here, now is a good opportunity!"
Gao Cuo nodded: "Sword Elder's words are reasonable, I'm going."
He straightened his expression, made up his mind, and stepped forward loudly, taking the initiative to meet Shuang Ling: "Mechanical Princess, I am Gao Cuo, here to learn your high moves!"
Seeing the third Nascent Soul cultivator attacking, Shuang Ling was not surprised but happy, which proved that she showed enough threat to make the Thousand Peaks Forest side unable to hold back.
Gao Cuo's figure swayed, splitting into hundreds of phantom bodies, suddenly scattered, and attacked Shuang Ling from all directions.
The phantom bodies cast various spells, true and false, strong and weak.
For a time, the battlefield was filled with colorful sound and light, extremely gorgeous.
This scene made Lin Lin Bufan, who was watching the battle in a hidden corner, move his expression; he felt familiar, but couldn't confirm it.
Shuang Ling's face sank slightly.
Because this illusion was quite troublesome, she used three means in a row, but didn't see through it.
Once unable to see through, she had to defend fully, which extremely aggravated her consumption.
Sword Elder saw that the situation was not good, and immediately reminded: "Gao Cuo, leave another force!"
Gao Cuo immediately restrained his strength secretly.
Shuang Ling's spirit was lifted, and she finally found a way to see through the illusion. She gave a low shout and took out a mechanism.
The mechanism was like an armillary sphere, named Star Dial, exuding starlight.
Light, reflecting the surroundings. But all false illusions were rapidly eliminated in the starlight.
In an instant, the gorgeous spell bombing situation on the field disappeared, leaving only one or two lonely spells, which were the real offensive.
Shuang Ling took a deep breath, stared at Gao Cuo's true body, and released seven North Star Swordsmen.
Her right arm ejected seven traction threads, the threads shot out like lightning, accurately connecting to the puppet's body.
Under the manipulation of the threads, the North Star Swordsmen immediately formed a Big Dipper Seven Stars formation and killed Gao Cuo.
Gao Cuo clashed with them, and soon lost, covered in blood.
Seeing his situation critical, the Demon Heart Cave Master immediately took action and joined the battlefield.
Gao Cuo gritted his teeth, and at the critical moment, urged the Void Escape Talisman, shuttled through the void, blood spilled into the sky, and retreated from the battlefield.
The Master of Demon Heart Cave cursed aloud, having no choice but to helplessly take his place to intercept the encirclement of the North Star Swordsmen.
The Demon Heart Cave Master was much more aggressive than Gao Cuo, stirring up demonic arts, urging various magic, attacking with offense, and the momentum was amazing.
He would rather suffer sword wounds than wipe out most of the seven North Star Swordsmen.
Seeing this, the Mechanical Princess smiled slightly, losing as many swordsmen as she lost, she immediately replenished as many.
Seeing the Demon Heart Cave Master's fighting spirit high and the offensive arrogant, she directly
threw out the mechanical Star Dial.
The Star Dial hung high, scattering starlight, Dantian Shining on the mechanical puppets of the North Star Swordsmen, making their combat power soar, speed increase, and sword edge sharper.
The combat power of the seven mechanical puppets soared together, putting great pressure on the Demon Heart Cave Master, and he was suddenly suppressed.
"As expected of the Mechanical Princess!"
"Fighting four alone, has already repelled Gao Cuo, and the latter's life or death is unknown."
Many cultivators watching the battle cast their attention on Shuang Ling.
This princess of the two countries showed very fierce combat power, which made people have to pay attention.
Seeing that she suppressed three cultivators with her own strength, the Thousand Peaks Forest alliance had to send more Nascent Souls to besiege Shuang Ling.
One, two, three!
Six Nascent Soul level cultivators fought Shuang Ling together.
Shuang Ling, with her own strength, undertook six times the enemy's powerhouses, solving a considerable part of the pressure for the army of the two countries.
Zhao Xi breathed a sigh of relief, calmly dispatched Nascent Soul cultivators, and went out to deal with the remaining enemy cultivators who called for battle.
For a time, six or seven battle groups formed in the central area where the two armies confronted each other, each fighting.
Li Li Jiuqu occupied the upper hand, and Mo Mo Yechen supported with difficulty.
The Mechanical Princess Shuang Ling suppressed six Nascent Soul cultivators, and her own formation line remained motionless.
Several other battle groups, fighting one-on-one, each had its own brilliance.
The soldiers of both sides were dazzled.
In the mechanical dragon, Sun and Ning also felt overwhelmed.
This kind of Nascent Soul level struggle made them open their eyes and feast their eyes. In normal times, it was difficult to see the struggle of Nascent Souls. But now not only did they see it, but they couldn't see it all!
For them, just watching the battle was a rare opportunity, which could let them see the demeanor of a higher level, clarify their own direction, and judge more accurate pros and cons.
Ning Zhuo's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he said in an exclamation tone: "So strong, really so strong!"
"Is this the demeanor of a mechanical cultivator?"
"Fighting many alone, easily. I can see that Shuang Ling still has spare power!"
Sun Sun Lingtong analyzed: "Although mechanical art is the end of the hundred arts, it is only because it requires too much for entry, proficiency, and great success, and the standards are too high."
"After truly achieving success, the combat power is quite standard-exceeding!"
"Mechanical cultivators are an army alone, like Shuang Ling, not only using mechanical art, but also casting military strategies, borrowing military power, thus obtaining more leverage, and combat power is stronger."
Ordinary cultivators fight alone, can only exert their own combat power, or the leverage ratio is not high.
But mechanical cultivators are different, mechanical creations are expensive, containing refining tools, alchemy, formations, talismans, etc., and the creations themselves fully utilize resources, leveraging a lot of combat power.
On these mechanical creations, mechanical cultivators can also do a lot of articles, casting mechanical arts, military strategies, etc.
Leveraging on top of leverage is not a simple addition, but a surge in multiples!
War opportunity!
Shuang Ling suddenly exerted force, the mantis self-destructed, forming a fatal offensive.
Gu Ya was full of panic, and he had heavy injuries himself, seeing that he was about to Zhao Die in battle.
Seeing this, Bi Teng Yi no longer reserved, and actually cast her trump card!
Divine Ability—Myriad Withered Green Phosphorus Curse!
The green phosphorus fire was sparse, but it was absolutely powerful, and wherever it went, mechanical creations were destroyed, turning into more phosphorus fire.
Skeleton phantoms appeared in the phosphorus fire, and killing intent and death energy spread wildly.
The defense line surrounding Shuang Ling immediately collapsed, threatening her life safety.
The alliance side was greatly encouraged. This was since the clash, for the first time
an offensive that truly threatened Shuang Ling!
Shuang Ling laughed and said: "Come!" ===== CHAPTER 561 =====
Divine Ability—Golden Fire World-Purifying Wheel!
Three hundred and sixty specially crafted World-Purifying Lotus Platforms were released in an instant.
The bronze lotus platforms were lifelike, with the "Evil-Expelling Chapter" of the *Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon* carved into the petals, and Kunlun cold jade beads embedded in their centers.
The next moment, green-white flames erupted from the bottoms of the platforms, and three thousand six hundred Heavenly Physician Golden Needles shot out from the holes in the platforms.
The flames and golden needles flew and scattered in a mix, instantly dispersing the phosphorus fire, then pressed the attack, killing Green Vine Physician amidst shrill screams on the spot.
