Chapter 568: Unlike Ning Zhuo, what are you doing?!

~14 min read 2,770 words

Two Kingdoms Camp.

In the closed-door secret room of the Commander's Mansion, Du Tiechuan sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, his eyes open.

Light and shadow constantly changed in his eyes, revealing scene after scene on the battlefield.

Since the beginning of the second major battle, Du Tiechuan had already interrupted his healing and was secretly paying attention to the fierce battle outside.

Compared to before, he was even thinner. His originally angular face now appeared with protruding bones.

His complexion was not good, very pale, without blood color.

From the battle with the Ginseng Beard Long Wang until now, his injuries had not healed.

The difficulty of healing was much higher than Du Tiechuan had initially anticipated.

The fierce clashes at the Nascent Soul level, the collisions between armies, the countless soldiers constantly dying—these situations fell into Du Tiechuan's eyes, but did not cause the slightest ripple in his heart.

There was only one thing he was concerned about.

That was—where is the Ginseng Beard Long Wang?

The biggest factor affecting the Thousand Peaks Forest pacification campaign was the battle of the Soul Transformation!

Du Tiechuan knew that his own state was poor, and at the same time, he was worried that the Ginseng Beard Long Wang had already recovered. Therefore, he would rather sit and watch the fierce battle outside continue than endure and wait quietly for the Ginseng Beard Long Wang to show his flaws.

"Evenly matched."

"Although our side is well-trained and masters the geographical advantage, there is a significant gap in high-level combat power."

"The Thousand Peaks Forest Allied Forces grasped the opportunity, and this time they have played to their strengths and avoided their weaknesses."

Du Tiechuan had very rich combat experience and was one of the Great Generals of the two kingdoms, naturally possessing profound military attainments.

He observed the battlefield for a long time and concluded in his heart: "If this continues, both sides will constantly lose blood, eventually resulting in both sides suffering, ending with the Thousand Peaks Forest side slowly retreating."

"Eh?"

The next moment, his expression changed slightly, and he saw a certain place on the battlefield.

His heartbeat accelerated slightly, and he felt joy in his heart: "The Three Generals Camp can actually block Xiang Yue?!"

"If they can maintain this war situation and contain Xiang Yue, the probability of our army winning will increase greatly."

Both sides were in a stalemate and attrition stage, where one move affects the whole situation.

According to Du Tiechuan's estimation, if Unlike Ning Zhuo maintained the local battlefield, the influence would constantly spread, eventually causing the war results to lean greatly toward the two kingdoms' side.

"This is the origin point that can change the second major battle!"

A sharp light flashed in Du Tiechuan's eyes, and he began to focus on the battle between Unlike Ning Zhuo and Xiang Yue.

Boom, boom, boom!

Every strike of Xiang Yue was still fierce and peerless, and the force was simply overwhelming.

Unlike Ning Zhuo controlled the Hundred-Armed Luo Han Armor, and every time he blocked, he had to mobilize several arms to exert force together to barely maintain the situation.

Even so, he was constantly retreating in the clash with Xiang Yue.

"Although mechanism arts are only the end of the hundred arts of cultivation, if there is a real achievement, the power is also not bad."

Xiang Yue suddenly spoke, breaking the previous silence.

"Little genius of the human race, do you have any new tricks?"

The four of Liu, Guan, Zhang, and Ning were suddenly filled with awe.

Xiang Yue's composed posture made them all realize that he had always been calm and effortless!

Unlike Ning Zhuo felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart, feeling huge pressure.

"I want to be faster and stronger!"

He constantly whipped himself in his heart, under the pressure brought by Xiang Yue, constantly squeezing out his potential and rapidly transforming.

The mechanism arms that were not proficient in use before were advancing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even Xiang Yue sighed secretly: "Humans are the spirits of all things; this statement is indeed reasonable. When can such a genius junior appear in our elephant herd?"

Thinking of this, Xiang Yue couldn't help but be slightly distracted.

"Opportunity!" Unlike Ning Zhuo keenly noticed this and immediately seized it.

The next moment, he fiercely mobilized the strongest offensive of the Hundred-Armed Luo Han Armor he had researched.

Buddha Law—Vajra Body Protection.

Martial Dao Formation—Zen Wind Flying Fist Formation.

Buddha Law—Moonlight Salvation Art.

Merge!

Mechanism Art—Golden Moon Zen Wind Fist!

In an instant, fist shadows filled the sky!

Eight golden arms like giant pillars, like dragon pythons, whipped up fist shadows filling the sky, dense and layered, dazzling the eyes. Silver moon shone together, brilliant and dazzling!

Unlike Ning Zhuo unleashed a wave of offensive frenzy, and its power was so strong that Liu, Guan, and Zhang subconsciously evaded, all feeling shocked.

Fist shadows flew, hitting Xiang Yue's body, but there was no heavy collision sound, only a series of wind sounds.

Zen wind, Zen wind.

The wind sound contained subtle Buddha intent, constantly infiltrating Xiang Yue's body and mind.

Xiang Yue's body swayed, and then he retreated a step.

Although it was only a step, it made Liu, Guan, and Zhang widen their eyes, and made countless cultivators who were closely watching this battle group astonished.

The Elephant King retreated!

The contemporary Elephant King Xiang Yue was actually beaten back from the front by someone!

This was something that hadn't happened for many years.

And the one who achieved this was actually a young cultivator with only Foundation Establishment cultivation!

Unimaginable.

If not seen with one's own eyes, the vast majority of people would not believe that this scene would happen.

"There is hope, we have hope of winning!" Although Zhao Xi was not well-versed in military strategy, seeing this scene, he also realized that this was the turning point for victory.

Shuang Jing's expression was somewhat dull, and then a strong feeling of regret surged in his heart.

"If I had known this kid had such combat talent, I shouldn't have made enemies with him."

Even Mechanism Princess Shuang Ling, seeing this scene, nodded slightly: "I didn't expect this kid Unlike Ning Zhuo to be quite capable. If this battle can be won, he must be greatly rewarded!"

Shuang Ling and Unlike Ning Zhuo had a deep conflict.

But at this moment, she couldn't help but feel appreciation for Unlike Ning Zhuo, and was also willing to show favor to Unlike Ning Zhuo to befriend this junior with a promising future!

"Unlike Ning Zhuo, you are indeed worthy of being my... husband!" Mu Lan also saw this war situation, her fighting spirit increased, and she killed the enemy more fiercely.

"Hehehehe." A light laugh from Xiang Yue suddenly came from the wind.

"A bit painful." He continued to speak.

"Thank you, this is a taste I haven't tasted for a long time."

"However, stop here."

Martial Art—Empty-Clearing Palm!

Xiang Yue's majestic body shook, and he pushed his palm fiercely.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's expression changed drastically, feeling an irresistible, majestic giant force piercing through, as if an invisible mountain peak had directly hit his body.

Pfft.

Unlike Ning Zhuo spat blood wildly, flew backward, and then fell to the ground like a broken sack.

Severe pain struck, making his expression terrifyingly ferocious.

Even with the protection of the Hundred-Armed Luo Han Armor, his physical body still couldn't support it; all the bones in his body were cracked, and there was a lot of internal bleeding in his internal organs, except for the Fire Element Heart Temple, Gold Element Lung Temple, and Earth Element Spleen Temple.

Even the three mechanism arms on his back collapsed and broke one after another because they blocked Xiang Yue's offensive.

Just in this instant, the five of Liu, Guan, Zhang, Sun, and Ning all completely realized one point—before, the reason why they could reach a stalemate was more because Xiang Yue had never used his full strength!

Just like he didn't disdain to participate in the siege of Shuang Ling before, when facing the siege of Liu, Guan, Zhang, and Ning, although he fought, he didn't take it to heart at all.

He had the pride of a strong person—none of you are worth me using my full strength!

"Retreat." Unlike Ning Zhuo's heart was cold.

Since the clash, he had completely determined that the contemporary Elephant King Xiang Yue was a figure of the same class as the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts; among the Nascent Soul level, their combat power belonged to the top level.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's battle with the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts was because he was lucky, relying on many accidental advantages like the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal, which eventually allowed him to win.

Now, he was fighting Xiang Yue head-on, and he deeply felt the terrifying gap between the two sides!

"Even if I use the Hundred-Armed Luo Han Armor, plus the obvious strong help of Liu, Guan, and Zhang, and the secret help of Boss Sun..."

"I won't be Xiang Yue's opponent!"

Since that was the case, retreating was the wisest decision.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang were also unarmed and embarrassed. After Unlike Ning Zhuo transmitted his divine sense, they immediately nodded in agreement.

However, just as Unlike Ning Zhuo arranged for the mechanism puppets to cover the retreat and made a posture of withdrawal, he received Shuang Ling's transmission: "Unlike Ning Zhuo, continue fighting! You cannot retreat!!"

"You need to contain Xiang Yue and not let him harm other battle groups."

"As long as you do this, I, representing the Royal Family, will reward you heavily."

Unlike Ning Zhuo was stunned, and immediately felt his fingers tighten; it was the mechanism ring warning!

"Could it be that agreeing to Shuang Ling's request and staying to fight will lead to a fatal disaster?" Unlike Ning Zhuo suddenly understood.

He secretly guessed: "Yes."

"Xiang Yue didn't fight with full strength before, partly because of the demeanor of a strong person, and partly because he saw mechanism arts and found them interesting, so he 'played' with me for a while."

"Now, his interest has clearly weakened, so he will naturally strike with full force, kill and eliminate me, and go to clash with opponents who can bring him freshness!"

Thinking of this, Unlike Ning Zhuo retorted without hesitation: "Can rewards be as important as my life?!"

He and Liu, Guan, and Zhang resolutely retreated.

"Stop!"

"Deserting in the face of battle is a capital crime!!!" Shuang Ling was furious, questioning through divine sense transmission.

Liu, Guan, Zhang, Sun, and Ning all turned a deaf ear.

They weren't really withdrawing from the battle, just changing an opponent; what military law did they violate?

Shuang Ling wanted to scold again, but the next moment she was blasted to the ground by Lord Long directly.

Fortunately, she was now a Nascent Soul parasitizing in a machine puppet; if it were her true body suffering this attack, she would be dead or disabled.

Shuang Ling, while controlling the Soft Bone Mysterious Maiden to retreat rapidly, avoiding Lord Long's pursuit, transmitted her divine sense to Zhao Xi.

"Zhao Xi!"

"Liu, Guan, and Zhang are your people; they refuse to contain Xiang Yue, and you must take full responsibility!"

Zhao Xi's expression moved slightly, and he opened his mouth.

Pfft.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, shouting: "Who is plotting against me?"

He immediately fainted and was immediately supported by his left and right confidants and taken to the rear.

Shuang Ling: "I..."

As a princess of a country, she was so angry that she wanted to explode with profanity.

But Lord Long's subsequent attacks forced her to try her best to parry; where did she have time to find trouble with Zhao Xi again?

Shuang Ling could only turn her frustration into combat power and continue to fight Lord Long bitterly.

However, the crisis of Liu, Guan, Zhang, Sun, and Ning had not passed.

Although Zhao Xi didn't participate in this matter, it couldn't affect what Xiang Yue thought.

The Elephant King launched a pursuit of Unlike Ning Zhuo.

The mechanism army left behind by the latter was like paper, unable to contain the Elephant King's footsteps even in the slightest.

"What should we do, Advisor!" Liu Er's forehead broke out in cold sweat.

If he kept chasing like this, who could block Xiang Yue?

Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes turned, and a plan came to mind: "Since Xiang Yue wants to chase, let him chase. Let's go to the camp!"

This was the core area of the battlefield, and also the place with the highest intensity of battle; Nascent Soul cultivators and fierce armies were the protagonists here.

Cultivators or armies whose strength was not up to par would soon be affected by the aftermath of terrifying offensives after rashly entering this battlefield, suffering heavy losses.

Unlike Ning Zhuo had no choice; the cards in his hand were not big enough, so he could only divert the disaster and try his best to attract Xiang Yue's attention to other aspects.

The three generals of Liu, Guan, and Zhang trusted Unlike Ning Zhuo very much, and upon hearing this, they immediately acted.

So the four of them accompanied each other and rushed into the depths of the two kingdoms' camp.

In this battlefield, Shuang Ling was fighting bitterly with Lord Long. As a result, when she turned her head and saw Unlike Ning Zhuo leading Xiang Yue into this battlefield, she was so angry that her eyebrows stood up!

"Unlike Ning Zhuo, what are you doing?!"

"You brought Xiang Yue here!"

"Go away, get out!"

"Are you trying to make my army collapse right here?!!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo responded with divine sense: "Princess, in the current war situation, you are our strongest, and only you can deal with Xiang Yue."

"You are the Mechanism Princess of the two kingdoms!"

"This junior is assisting you, bringing the suicidal Xiang Yue to you!"

Shuang Ling was so angry that her whole machine puppet body trembled slightly: "Unlike Ning Zhuo! Go to hell!!! Regardless of whether this battle is won or lost, I will definitely hold you accountable."

Unlike Ning Zhuo immediately replied: "Princess, you misunderstood this subordinate; this subordinate is risking his life to create a good opportunity for you to build merit."

"You are the face of the Nascent Soul cultivators of the two kingdoms; Xiang Yue is definitely not your opponent!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo's goal was the mechanism carriage in Lin You's hands.

Now, he could only make the best of the situation, first lead Xiang Yue into the core war zone, and find an opportunity to get himself out.

Unlike Ning Zhuo and Xiang Yue fought for a long time, and although he didn't have many words with Xiang Yue, he could feel the latter's arrogance from various combat choices.

Sure enough, when Xiang Yue saw these Nascent Soul cultivators, his attention was also attracted by these people.

The Nascent Soul cultivators who were fighting each other all had to extract a portion of their attention and divide it to Xiang Yue.

Obviously, no one wanted Xiang Yue to deal with themselves.

On this point, even Shuang Ling thought so!

"Unlike Ning Zhuo, if this battle is lost, I will definitely make you and your family pay the price!" Shuang Ling was really angry; she felt that Xiang Yue was staring at her, and she cursed Unlike Ning Zhuo repeatedly.

Among the two kingdoms' side, the current strongest combat power was undoubtedly Shuang Ling.

Xiang Yue came here and lost interest in Unlike Ning Zhuo; he watched the battle everywhere and didn't make a move immediately.

Art of War—Capture Alive!

Suddenly, military power was drawn in large quantities, condensing into a net in the air.

After the net covered Xiang Yue, it immediately imprisoned him, and the net rapidly turned into a cage.

Xiang Yue was in the cage, his whole body covered with a layer of net, tied up tightly.

He was full of anger, roaring loudly, trying his best to break free, but only stretched the net by thirty percent.

In an instant, the entire battlefield fell silent.

Those who could restrain Xiang Yue in an instant were usually at the Soul Transformation level. And in the two kingdoms' camp, there was only one at the Soul Transformation level, and it was Du Tiechuan! ===== CHAPTER 569 =====
