Chapter 564

The battle of defense and offense surrounding the Liangzhu Kingdom's front-line camp had now entered a white-hot stage.

The Thousand Peaks Forest coalition and the Liangzhu Kingdom's main army were like two giants fighting, having reached the dangerous moment of hand-to-hand combat and bayonets drawing blood.

This was a chaotic battlefield.

In some places, the armies were intertwined like dog teeth, while in other places, one side had a clear advantage.

The defensive line built by the Liangzhu Kingdom's main army around the city walls had already collapsed by nearly half.

Although most of the city walls remained, on the other side, under the impact of Lord Long and Lu Hongtu, the defensive line had collapsed. A large number of cultivators and troops from the Thousand Peaks Forest coalition were pouring through the gaps in the defensive line into this military camp, which had been painstakingly built at great expense.

The sounds of killing reached the sky and shook the earth, and the explosions shook the clouds time and again.

Countless spells intertwined, forming dazzling, brilliant colored light, gorgeous and deadly.

Massive amounts of weapons and magic tools collided with each other, and in the most intense competition, the winner and loser were decided in an instant.

And often, the difference between winner and loser was the difference between life and death!

Whether it was the Liangzhu Kingdom or the Thousand Peaks Forest coalition, the number of casualties

was increasing rapidly.

Both sides entered a stalemate stage, producing extremely tragic mutual consumption, and every moment, a large number of soldiers fell to the ground and lost their lives.

If there were a master of military strategy or a commander of talent who saw this battle situation, they would inevitably sneer.

Both sides were fighting fiercely, but there was no military order or method.

Lord Long was a temple keeper of the Dragon King Temple and had strong combat power, but he was not proficient in the way of war.

The Liangzhu Kingdom's commander, Du Tiechuan, was indeed powerful, but he was healing his wounds and had never shown his face.

It was precisely because of his flaws that the Liangzhu Kingdom and the Thousand Peaks Forest coalition did not show any military advantage in the all-out confrontation, which could be considered an even match.

In a mountain hollow far from the battlefield, the calm space suddenly rippled.

A young man in white appeared out of thin air, wearing a wide-sleeved robe as white as a cloud. His features were handsome, his eyes black and white, and at this moment, they were full of fighting spirit.

It was Unlike Ning Zhuo.

He came out of the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon, reached out, and a small, worm-like mechanical wandering dragon quickly enlarged, shaped like a small snake, and actively wrapped around Unlike Ning Zhuo's waist, circling once, its head and tail biting together to serve as a belt.

"Participating in this war of the Liangzhu Kingdom, I have finally found

the opportunity to take action against the mechanical carriage."

Unlike Ning Zhuo was not calm, secretly excited.

He and Sun Lingtong had previously taken risks to probe the Six-Cave Sect's sect station, were discovered, and escaped thrillingly.

Since then, he had not dared to take risks personally. After all, with a strategist like Lu Hongtu, targeted precautions would inevitably be taken.

If the same mistake were made again, it would undoubtedly be stupid.

"Right now is my best opportunity."

"There is no need to take risks in the Six-Cave Sect's lair, and the Six-Cave Sect has almost mobilized its entire nest; even the Demon Heart Cave Master is in a fierce battle, his energy being tied up."

Unlike Ning Zhuo joined the army precisely to find an opportunity to take action on the front line at the first moment.

He paid with patience and time, finally waiting for this moment.

There was no other way.

His cultivation and strength were relatively weak; only by leveraging the situation could he have the opportunity to seek the magic-treasure-level mechanical carriage from the hands of the behemoth Six-Cave Sect.

"The threat of the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts will grow greater with time."

"Perhaps, this is my first and last opportunity to take action."

"Once I take action and the attempt fails, exposing my true intention for the mechanical

carriage, it will be difficult in the future."

"With a strategist like Lu Hongtu, he will inevitably use the mechanical carriage to set up corresponding traps for me!"

Thinking of this, Unlike Ning Zhuo's fighting spirit became more determined, his will to fight like fire, beginning to burn fiercely in his heart.

He took out mechanical puppets one by one from his storage bag.

Soon, more than four hundred mechanical puppets stood neatly beside him, forming a mechanical army.

Unlike Ning Zhuo took out another magic-treasure-level mechanical armor.

This armor was colored in ancient bronze, majestic and heavy, giving people a sense of hard power. But the lines were rounded and the curves elegant, giving people a sense of compassion and tolerance.

Its helmet forehead was slightly raised, with a circular halo, like the Dharma image of an Luo Han. Helmet horns were designed on both sides, resembling bull horns.

An Luo Han statue was carved on the front of the chest armor, containing the magic formation of Luo Han protection.

Six mechanical arms extended from behind the mecha, all constructed of ancient bronze. Along the arms, golden patterns constructed the internal muscles, flashing with rich golden Buddha light.

It was the Hundred-Armed Luo Han Armor!

This was a gift from Mu Lan to Unlike Ning Zhuo; when he received it, it was only a half-body heavy armor.

But now, the Hundred-Armed Luo Han Armor was a full-body armor; its missing lower half had already been supplemented by Unlike Ning Zhuo.

"Although I relied on three mechanical pedestals to temporarily supplement the lower half. But clearly, the lower half was just put together in a rush."

"Not only is it completely inconsistent with the upper half, just a showpiece, but even in terms of protection, it doesn't reach thirty percent of the upper half."

Unlike Ning Zhuo's main work was disguise.

He tried his best to make the lower half of the armor look similar to the upper half; at least in terms of styling style and momentum, there was no difference.

"Boss, look at me." Unlike Ning Zhuo's expression was somewhat excited.

"Huh?" Sun Lingtong was in the dragon-head cabin, his expression confused.

Unlike Ning Zhuo raised his arms high and shouted at the Hundred-Armed Luo Han Armor: "Hundred-Armed Luo Han, armor cover the body!"

The next moment, the Hundred-Armed Luo Han Armor flew to Unlike Ning Zhuo's front and separated into upper and lower parts.

The upper part flew to the top of Unlike Ning Zhuo's head and slowly descended, covering him inside the armor. The lower part clicked and split, forming two halves of mechanical armor, front and back.

The two parts separated from the mechanical armor flew, one to Unlike Ning Zhuo's front and the other to the back, wrapping Unlike Ning Zhuo's lower body, then combined and buckled tightly; everything was seamless.

"Wow, wow, wow!" Sun Lingtong opened his mouth wide, his eyes

flashing with starlight, cheering excitedly.

"So cool, so cool!!" Sun Lingtong shouted, his entire attention attracted for a moment, no longer feeling the tension before the battle.

He jumped up in the dragon-head cabin: "You brat, hiding this from me. I want one too, I want a set too!"

He wished he could replace Unlike Ning Zhuo right now, have a set of mechanical armor, and be able to stand in front of the armor and shout once, and the armor would automatically cover his body.

"Hahahaha!" Unlike Ning Zhuo imitated Sun Lingtong's posture, put his hands on his hips, and laughed loudly for a while.

"Boss, this is the benefit of practicing mechanical arts." Unlike Ning Zhuo showed off successfully and was very happy.

Sun Lingtong laughed and scolded: "You brat, after this battle, hurry up and get me a set, otherwise I won't spare you!"

He then sighed sincerely: "Mechanical arts, I don't think it should be the last of the hundred arts of cultivation. Just based on what I just saw, it should be the first of the hundred arts."

"Don't worry, Boss. With me here, I will specially design a set of mechanical armor for you, and it will definitely satisfy you." Unlike Ning Zhuo patted his chest.

Sun Lingtong: "Hmph, if you don't satisfy me, I will never spare you."

"Little Zhuo, fight well."

"In this battle, show off your prestige."

"Based on your talent and intelligence, practice well, carry forward the mechanical arts in the future, change the world's perception, and it is not impossible for mechanical arts to become the first of the hundred arts."

"If you can do it, you will leave your name in history. Future generations, as long as they think of mechanical arts, will inevitably think of you and give a thumbs up in their hearts!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo waved his hands hurriedly, very humbly: "Boss, you think too highly of me. I still have a lot to learn and many shortcomings."

Sun Lingtong: "Uh..."

Unlike Ning Zhuo put on this mechanical armor, placed himself in the mechanical army, and immediately set off to the battlefield.

The appearance of this fresh force did not attract widespread attention.

In the chaotic battlefield, cultivators and armies were intertwined, each fighting their own battle.

Battle Formation—Light Body Swift Wind Formation!

The mechanical puppets formed a battle formation, their speed suddenly increasing and becoming very agile.

To this day, Unlike Ning Zhuo had experienced many battles, and urging this battle formation was already second nature to him.

However, during the march, mechanical puppets fell from time to time.

"What is that?" Unlike Ning Zhuo was surprised.

The response to him was the rustling of Gu insects.

These were the Gu insects released by Li Jiuqu, which had already dispersed throughout the battlefield.

Unlike Ning Zhuo charged toward the battlefield, and the first thing he encountered was them.

A burst of poison mist drifted over, and signs of corrosion appeared on the mechanical puppets. Some that were severely corroded fell directly to the ground, losing their connection with Unlike Ning Zhuo.

A blood river was split apart, and a part of it, like a blood-red stream, pierced through Unlike Ning Zhuo's mechanical puppet group, causing more than twenty battle losses.

There were also drums that sounded from time to time, shattering the dozen puppets at the very front.

Before the battle even started, on the way to the battlefield, there were constant situations, causing the mechanical army commanded by Unlike Ning Zhuo to lose personnel one after another.

Sun and Ning were no longer as relaxed as when they were joking, both of them with solemn faces.

Since they joined the battle, they had never seen such a situation!

Watching the battle before was fine, but now that they were actively participating, it immediately made them feel the overwhelming pressure.

Even Sun Lingtong had never experienced this, let alone Unlike Ning Zhuo, who had guarded the Fire Persimmon Immortal City for more than ten years.

Second Grand Battle!

This was a war dominated by the Soul Transformation level, with Nascent Souls as commanders, and Jin Dans as only mid-level combat power!

The war had entered the most tragic stage of mutual consumption, and it depended on which side would be the first to fail and fall.

It was obvious that even the winner would be a tragic victory, paying a very heavy price in casualties.

"This is just a punitive expedition within a country."

"The Liangzhu Kingdom's main army is just a new army that has not been formed for long, and the Thousand Peaks Forest side lacks military training." Sun Lingtong sighed sincerely.

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded: "Yes. If it were really a war between cultivation countries, what kind of grand occasion would it be?"

Between spiritual sense exchanges, the mechanical army led by Unlike Ning Zhuo finally killed its way into the battlefield and made contact with the first group of enemies.

This was a group of savage cultivators who huddled together and helped each other.

Unlike Ning Zhuo killed his way over, immediately putting this group of savage cultivators into a predicament of being attacked from both front and back.

Unlike Ning Zhuo reached out and waved, and Fire, Earth, and Metal spells formed three waves of offensive, beating the savage cultivators so they couldn't lift their heads.

It didn't cause too many casualties.

"Break out quickly!"

"The situation is very unfavorable for us."

"We cannot be attacked from both sides; let's kill a bloody path first."

The savage cultivators felt the crisis of defeat and annihilation, erupting with strong fighting spirit and offensive.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's mechanical army couldn't stop them, and a large number of mechanical puppets died on the road of the savage cultivators' desperate breakout.

Unlike Ning Zhuo glanced at them, ignored them, and continued to lead the army to kill deeper into the battlefield.

He replenished as many mechanical puppets as were lost.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was now rich, and with no shortage of funds, the mechanical pedestals solved his production capacity problem, allowing him to stockpile a large number of mechanical puppets!

Military Art—Brave Warrior Return Technique!

Unlike Ning Zhuo still hadn't fully understood this military art. It was a combination of the "Soldier's Armor" and "Gao Sheng's Last Will," exquisite and extraordinary, far exceeding ordinary military arts.

Although he hadn't fully understood it, it didn't prevent Unlike Ning Zhuo from enjoying the enhancement of this military art.

The more mechanical puppets lost, the more his strength increased.

By the time Unlike Ning Zhuo killed his way into the battlefield and began to approach the middle section, his combat power had already climbed to the Jin Dan level!

And the number of cultivators who died in his hands was no less than two hundred.

Sun Lingtong also participated in the control of the mechanical puppets.

To this day, Sun and Ning had experienced many battles, and their control of the mechanical puppets was more skillful and decisive, and their combat ability had been best honed.

Continue to charge and kill.

From the periphery to the middle of the battlefield, Unlike Ning Zhuo clearly felt the resistance to charging and killing soar.

The marching speed of the mechanical army slowed down significantly.

The periphery of the battlefield was relatively loose, and the gaps between various large and small battle groups were large enough for the mechanical army to shuttle between them.

But by the middle of the battlefield, the battle groups were much tighter, and the space for the enemy and us to fight was narrow. Unlike Ning Zhuo led the mechanical army, not only to break through the obstacles directly in front but also to face attacks from all directions from time to time.

"In the core area of the battlefield, I'm afraid our army will be struggling!" Unlike Ning Zhuo thought to himself.

Fortunately, he didn't need to go deep into the core of the battlefield, that is, the Liangzhu Kingdom military camp. Because Lin You himself was in the middle of the battlefield.

Unlike Ning Zhuo led the mechanical army and charged straight at Lin You.

The savage cultivator Gu Ya was organizing the wolf pack army to attack the city wall, and under the cover of his spiritual sense, he caught a glimpse of Unlike Ning Zhuo's mechanical army.

Awooo!

Gu Ya's heart moved; he didn't want to let the mechanical army show more, so he made a small move.

The next moment, a small batch separated from the wolf pack and pounced on Unlike Ning Zhuo's mechanical army.

The wolf pack attacked from the side, coming and going like the wind, with extremely fast speed.

Sun Lingtong warned in advance, and Unlike Ning Zhuo's heart shook: "This is Gu Ya's true strength!"

Under tremendous pressure, Gu Ya fought with all his might, and the wolf pack

was so powerful and prestigious, which had not been shown before.

The mechanical army guarded in place, forming a ball.

The wolf pack washed over like a tide, and Unlike Ning Zhuo's mechanical army was like a bunker made of sand; although the formation was very square, it was all a showpiece and collapsed at the first charge.

Although Unlike Ning Zhuo had expected it, seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sigh: "Time is running out; I haven't even learned the Iron Barrel Battle Formation yet."

He replenished as many mechanical puppets as were lost.

But the surrounding wolf pack was like a tide, and under the squeeze, there was no space for Unlike Ning Zhuo to deploy his troops.

Looking down from high altitude, the position occupied by Unlike Ning Zhuo was getting smaller and smaller.

Seeing that it was about to be completely annihilated...

Roar!

Three fire dragons rose, circled once, and wherever they went, bones were burned and flesh turned to ash.

The flames were fierce, instantly transforming this small battlefield area.

Unlike Ning Zhuo wore the mechanical armor and was in the sea of fire, his body standing firm, unusually conspicuous.

And beside him, three fire dragons swam in the sea of fire, roaring continuously.

Spell—Nine Heavens Fire Dragon Technique!

This spell was one of the most classic spells in the Fire element,

famous throughout the cultivation world.

The number of fire dragons increased according to the cultivator's cultivation. Unlike Ning Zhuo only had Foundation Establishment cultivation, and according to common sense, he could only condense two fire dragons.

But he now obtained many levers such as mechanical arts and military arts, reaching Jin Dan level combat power, so he condensed three fire dragons across levels!

The wolf pack was killed in the burning of the sea of fire and fire dragons.

Unlike Ning Zhuo continued to charge and kill.

Under the enhancement of the Military Art Brave Warrior Return Technique, his strength was still continuing to climb!
