Especially, Tie Zheng had already used the Blade Beast in the second stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ao Pan and Lu Zeng had no other trump cards, Tie Zheng would inevitably win. The advantage the Blade Beast brought him was too great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Ao Pan and Lu Zeng were eliminated one after another, and Tie Zheng fought one against two, relying on the Blade Beast to win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even so, the Blade Beast cannot fight for a long time, and it has already been weakened as much as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were before, Tie Zheng and Ao Pan would have joined forces to deal with Lu Zeng. The final winner would also have been Tie Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, although Tie Zheng eliminated Ao Pan and Lu Zeng, the consumption was much greater than in the previous situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Objects like the Blade Beast are not good at long-term fighting. And the Blade Beast, Light Sweep, uses the Profound Armored Shell as the main material, which is even less durable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tie Zheng has inner demons, and he must have fought with all his might just now. After this bloody battle, how much longer can the Blade Beast, Light Sweep, fight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Jie smiled slightly, thinking of Ban Ji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My second wave of ambush has already severely injured Ning Zhuo. Next, they will fight Tie Zheng, which will inevitably weaken the latter further and create a final opportunity for Ban Ji.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ning Zhuo was severely injured, and even lost his shield. He is Ban Ji's human tribulation; it only makes sense for Ban Ji to break it himself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ban Jie thought, the pair of bronze eyebrow studs at her temples seemed to rotate like gear pivots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, Ban Ji will personally eliminate Ning Zhuo under the watch of the second wave of ambush, and then clear out other Foundation Establishment cultivators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After Tie Zheng is weakened, he will start the final contention with Ban Ji.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whether he can win in the end depends on Ban Ji's performance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have done this to this extent, it should be just right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Jie needed to leave enough difficulty for Ban Ji; without tempering, there was no way to stimulate Wang Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sea of clouds was reflected in her deep eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just that the second wave of ambush is ultimately a bit too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Afterward, I need to take the initiative to apologize to the Profound Armor Cave! After all, Ban Ji will join the Myriad Phenomena Sect in the future, and he will see the Profound Armor Cave side often.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Jie was appointed here by the Ban family, so she naturally had strategies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the Cloud-Rising Trial had not ended, and she was already calculating how to end it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators of the Profound Armor Cave generally had ugly expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A wave of people came before, and now there is a second wave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Ban family is too much! Cheating so blatantly, where do they put the reputation of our Profound Armor Cave?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Profound Armor Cave held countless Cloud-Rising Trials with the same content in every Flying Cloud Assembly. If they left an impression of large-scale cheating, it would be a significant blow to their reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as there was cheating, it proved that they lacked fairness, and the cultivators who came to participate in the Cloud-Rising Trial would consider and hesitate more. At the same time, it also proved that their internal personnel had been corrupted. This would also make outsiders look down on the internal forces of the Profound Armor Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivator surnamed Hao crossed his arms, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was one of those who had been corrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Ban family is not authentic; in order to support Ban Ji, they actually did it so obviously!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once this Cloud-Rising Trial is over, the superiors will definitely send someone to investigate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, if it was found that the cultivator surnamed Hao had accepted bribes, he would inevitably be punished for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Ban family didn't just bribe me alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately, I saw the situation was not good just now and made preparations in advance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, I would be passive right now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivator surnamed Hao scanned the surroundings quickly, sneering in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji watched several people bow to him, squeezing a smile on his face, but his feet retreated repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered in his heart: \"Is this also Ban Jie's handiwork?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second wave of ambush gave a reason, saying that they were indebted to the Ban family, and the sneak attack on Ning Zhuo was to repay the kindness. No one in the field believed this reason, and Ban Ji was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that he couldn't figure it out: \"Since so many people have infiltrated, why didn't they launch with all their might when the first wave attacked?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that Ban Jie didn't want to make too much noise?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This move is almost public cheating, which will indeed make our side's relationship with the Profound Armor Cave tense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regardless of these, eliminate this kid Ning Zhuo first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp light flashed in Ban Ji's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the beginning of this Cloud-Rising Trial, Ning Zhuo had brought him a lot of trouble, and now he wanted to settle the score properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo's state was not good; his physical body had been repaired many times, and now he was exhausted, and his wounds were still bleeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take his life while he is sick!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji upheld this concept, holding a weapon, and was about to pounce on Ning Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish, swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two arrows came, each carrying the power of fire and ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji hurriedly dodged, looking at the source of the arrows with suspicion: \"Lord Tie Zheng, what do you intend to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Zheng's eyes were full of contempt and disgust: \"Do you know that I hate hypocrisy and betrayal the most?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had inner demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, although he eliminated Ao Pan, he was still in a state of stress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, the second wave of ambush was originally cooperating with Ning Zhuo to besiege Ban Ji, but suddenly \"betrayed\" their comrade Ning Zhuo and helped Ban Ji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Tie Zheng practiced alone in the mountains and wilderness, he came from a great clan and was certainly not stupid. He saw the trick in it at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo's situation of being betrayed was just like his own \"betrayal\" by Ao Pan just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Zheng walked slowly toward Ban Ji: \"They are all hypocritical and shameless people. If they had made it clear from the beginning that they wanted to repay kindness and besiege Ning Zhuo, that would be fine. But they pretended to be comrades first, and then launched a sneak attack—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many times have you done this? How many people have you harmed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meeting me today means that Heaven wants to teach you a lesson!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Tie Zheng attacked Ban Ji and his party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji: ?!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly explained, but the more he explained, the more Tie Zheng hated, recalling that after he was betrayed, he looked for the perpetrator to confront them, and they also behaved like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to hell, go to hell!!\" Tie Zheng's eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, and he set off the gold and iron storm again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji was so angry he wanted to vomit blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much hatred is there? It's like there's a hatred of killing a father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji had no choice but to stand up and fight. Fortunately, there were several good hands to help him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the suppression of the Profound Armor Cave's grand array, Tie Zheng could not show the true combat power of a Golden Core cultivator, so the two sides fought fiercely, but fell into a stalemate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were other Foundation Establishment cultivators present, and seeing these two sides fighting, they looked at each other for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Humph, I have seen through the Ban family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This righteous family is a bit shameless, not sparing any effort to cheat, just to support their own Foundation Establishment face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before, I thought it was strange, why did the Ban family tolerate a demonic cultivator like Ban Ji? Now I understand, although this family is righteous, it is very hypocritical in its bones!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Tie Zheng choosing to fight Ban Ji and others, even if some cultivators didn't know Tie Zheng's intelligence, they didn't think it was strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, after Ning Zhuo was sneak-attacked, Ban Ji's group was exposed, which could be considered the most threatening group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Zheng dealing with Ban Ji's group was just like him eliminating Lu Zeng and Ao Pan in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Ning Zhuo is not lightly injured.\" Some people stared at the big-headed boy with malicious intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo's name as a genius had already been spreading in the main gate of the Myriad Phenomena Sect. In the hearts of the cultivators, he was also very threatening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, many cultivators saw: Ban Ji's group and Tie Zheng were fighting each other, consuming each other, the battle was fierce, they couldn't intervene, and didn't want to intervene, so they focused their attention on each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo perceived that the atmosphere was wrong, gritted his teeth, and stood up holding the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still had quite a few Profound Armored Shells, which were floating around him, circling and defending. Especially the bronze fan among them, which had the most deterrent effect, making many cultivators who were eager to move hesitate significantly after their eyes touched the bronze fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivator surnamed Hao saw this scene, a look of appreciation flashed in his eyes: \"This kid Ning Zhuo is also quite good at acting! Directly abandoning the bronze shield, it takes great courage, worthy of being a face carefully cultivated by a great clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the cultivators of the Profound Armor Cave, only the cultivator surnamed Hao saw through this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else was kept in the dark, and one of them suddenly said: \"Ning Zhuo is in danger!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, three people acted on Ning Zhuo together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo immediately controlled the Profound Armored Shell to perform defense and counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji and others fought bitterly around Tie Zheng. Tie Zheng constantly set off gold and iron storms, showing the momentum of one person surrounding several people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Blade Beast, Light Sweep, shrank back into a round ball and hung on his waist; as long as it was not dispatched, it would always bring huge pressure to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large number of bronze weapons collided, chased, and slashed in mid-air. Some weapons could spit out sharpness and crisscross the battlefield. There were also weapons that could affect others' emotions and spirits; this was the seventh bronze weapon, and the number in the whole field could be counted on one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cultivator fought to the point of intoxication, his body expanded, and his figure grew taller. He tore open his shirt, turned into a muscular man, waved a bronze axe, slashed everywhere, cut off one stalactite after another, and crushed stones shot out like shotgun pellets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another cultivator was like a ghost, the long spear in his hand pointed continuously, the spear was like electricity, instantly piercing the cultivator's body, ruthlessly eliminating his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also cultivators hiding in the shadows, throwing out hooks from time to time, hooking the cultivators in the fierce battle, dragging them directly into the darkness, and eliminating them silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who could persist until now were naturally not lacking in good hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo had successfully killed two cultivators through a \"difficult\" counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other cultivators saw that Ning Zhuo still had spare power, so they gave up one after another and dealt with easier targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Profound Armored Shells were not durable in battle; with such high battle intensity, there would soon be a situation where weapons were not enough. The more weapons, the stronger the strength, and the more likely to persist to the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji was forced into the corner by the gold and iron storm, roared, and mobilized his spiritual sense with all his might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mainly practiced \"Greedy Mechanism Demonic Heart Technique,\" and his spiritual sense had special attack power, which Ning Zhuo had learned before. At this moment, he attacked with all his might, suppressing Tie Zheng, immediately causing his offensive to slow down and reveal flaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the cultivators besieging Tie Zheng was short and sturdy, with muscular arms, holding the handle with both hands, waving an eight-edged bronze mace, sweeping Tie Zheng's left waist heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?co\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Zheng raised the bronze long stick and blocked the bronze mace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next moment, the bronze long stick bent in the middle reached the standard of being broken and was taken away by the Profound Armor Cave's grand array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Zheng immediately furrowed his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't expect that this wave of opponents, except for Ban Ji, cooperated tacitly with each other and mastered joint attack tactics, which was very troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Zheng fought fiercely for a while, not only did not gain anything, but also lost a bronze stick in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since that's the case—\" Tie Zheng pulled a kitchen knife from his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knife came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no sharpness, and no colorful light. There was only a condensed black shadow that swept across the field of vision of Ban Ji's group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, an artistic conception that was upright, hard, and fierce, capable of cutting off all obstacles and crushing all hardness regardless of what was in front, was conveyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bronze mace didn't have time to be taken away and was swept by the black shadow, breaking into two pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stabbing sword attacked, and Tie Zheng flicked it lightly. The stabbing sword was immediately cut off, and the broken blade rotated and flew out, nailing into the distant cave wall with a \"clatter\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang, clang, clang—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a series of metal explosions, several Profound Armored Shells were cut off by the kitchen knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the seventh kitchen knife Tie Zheng harvested, containing the martial arts principles of \"meaning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Zheng's kitchen knife went forward without hesitation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators who besieged him were all hung with color and retreated in a panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The siege collapsed, and they were immediately submerged by Tie Zheng's gold and iron storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few breaths, this group of people was miserably eliminated. Only Ban Ji was left!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang, clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji was like a broken sack, slashed and flew out heavily, spilling a rain of blood in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he hit a huge stalactite heavily and slid softly to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arms were twisted, his face was like gold paper, and his breath was extremely withered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared fixedly at Tie Zheng, his eyes filled with strong unwillingness and resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, he was also teleported away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji was eliminated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Zheng also paid a huge price; his clothes had been dyed red by his own blood, and there were not a few wounds. The explosion just now made him even more exhausted. To activate the artistic conception in martial arts, it was not just physical energy that was consumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are only a few of you left.\" Tie Zheng looked around and found that except for him, only four people were left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo was one of them, and at this time he opened his mouth: \"Fellow Daoist Tie Zheng, although we will not be your opponents, we are still willing to fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not easy for you to keep nine Profound Armored Shells in the end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Zheng was slightly stunned. Reminded by Ning Zhuo, he quickly scanned the whole field and found that only twenty-three Profound Armored Shells were left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was another round of fierce fighting next, and it was indeed quite difficult to keep nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Zheng snorted, with a touch of pride: \"Our generation practices martial arts, so we should naturally face difficulties. Let's go together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Zheng was the most powerful person in the field. He had just eliminated Ban Ji's group with the bronze kitchen knife and his own profound martial arts attainments, showing his edge. Facing such a strong person, Ning Zhuo and others naturally had to join forces to resist together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, before Ning Zhuo could speak, the other three took the initiative to transmit their spiritual sense to express their invitation to join forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo naturally agreed to it. \u003C\u002Fp>",2884,"2026-06-17T23:33:14.591Z","2026-06-18T03:10:38.119Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","1ad23a1767cf556ab34019566ac3351e70bff0b8e667909bc29000fb2f8cadd3","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-772","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-770",783,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortal-craftsmanship-cover.jpg"]
