Chapter 540: Ning Zhuo: I want to test my limits

The mechanical puppets stood quietly, arranged in an orderly manner.

They are mainly made of wood, with simple metal armor covering their chests, legs and feet.

Most of them hold spears, but some also hold swords and shields.

"Six hundred mechanical puppets! The number of mechanical puppets controlled by the military advisor is much greater than before." Zhang Hei swept his spiritual sense and found that the number of soldier puppets had increased. He immediately transmitted his spiritual sense and expressed his congratulations.

The soldiers of the three generals' camps also looked at these mechanical puppets with expressions of amazement.

Guan Hong stroked his beard and communicated with his spiritual sense: "According to the military advisor's wealth, these mechanical puppets can be made more sophisticated. It seems that the military advisor wants to use the military tactics such as the Warrior Restoration Technique."

Ning Zhuo: "General Guan has a good eye for justice."

Ning Zhuo can certainly use metal as the main material to make mechanical puppets.

However, firstly, it takes longer to make and consumes more energy; secondly, it is not easy to be damaged in actual combat, which will hinder the use of the Warrior Recovery Technique. Thirdly, the wood is taken from Qianfeng Forest and Canglin Fairy City, which is a local specialty and is relatively cheap, while metal is more expensive.

Before setting off, Liu Er walked up to Ning Zhuo, grabbed his hands, and told him with concern: "Military Advisor, it is our incompetence to attack alone!"

"Remember that your own life is the most important."

"If we encounter Luo Chen, the military advisor can withdraw immediately, lead the enemy to our front, and then engage in battle!"

Ning Zhuo hummed, and also said to Liu Er: "General, don't blame yourself. If it weren't for you, how could I have come this far?"

"It is because of the three generals who paved the way that I am now able to use my talents."

"This is the perfect time for me to strike. If I can break the bell in one fell swoop, I can break the current deadlock and lead to the final victory."

"Even if it's risky, it's worth a try!"

Ning Zhuo bid farewell to Liu Er, rode a foundation-building horse, led the mechanical army, broke out of the three generals' camps, and rushed all the way in the direction where the bell sound came from.

The raging flames quickly obscured the figures of Ning Zhuo and the army.

"Military Advisor... it's because we, the Jindan cultivators, are incompetent. When the time comes, the foundation-building cultivators must step up." Liu Er sighed. Now, he can only rely on Ning Zhuo's performance.

Zhang Hei sighed: "If you want to blame someone, blame the poor soldiers. If I could get 200 elite soldiers, I could lead the army alone and attack Huanglong!"

Guan Hong stroked his beard and said, "Although the military advisor has only the foundation-building cultivation, his combat power is far superior to any of the three of us. He is the most suitable person to attack at this time, which is in line with the military strategy."

The three generals gritted their teeth and could only hold on to this place for the time being and wait for Ning Zhuo to return.

However, those who paid attention to Ning Zhuo included not only Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Luo Chen and others.

There was another monk lurking nearby, closely watching the progress of the offensive and defensive battle.

This man's surname is Gao and his given name is Cuo. He had a fortuitous encounter in his early years and had worked in Bikong Mountain. He secretly discovered the evil god's bone marrow, which was obtained by Sun Lingtong by accident.

"Okay, although the main force of the three generals' camp is incompetent, Ning Zhuo can attack."

"If he takes advantage of the situation and breaks the bell, he can change the situation and tip the balance of victory towards the Three Generals' Camp."

"If he performs better and finds the location of the Vermillion Bird Incense Burner and destroys this formation, it would be even better."

Gao Cuo estimated the situation and frowned, "I'm afraid Luo Chen will take the initiative to attack and intercept Ning Zhuo halfway, causing him to give up halfway."

An old voice sounded in his heart: "There is a way."

Gao Cuo: "Master Jian, what's the solution?"

Elder Jian continued, "We sneaked in here just for the Wood Fire. This fire is one of the three samadhis. Even if you can't gather all three samadhis in the future, this one samadhi alone will be enough for you to use until the Nascent Soul stage."

"Luo Chen must be looking for this thing too!"

"The current situation is very clear. The Ten Mile Burning Forest is close to the main battlefield and will definitely be swept away by the armies of the two countries."

"Even if the three generals' battalions fail this time, the subsequent punitive forces will surely continue to come."

"It is impossible to defend the Ten Mile Burning Forest. Luo Chen has his duty and wants to retreat in a dignified manner. He cannot take the Fire Crown Divine Cedar with him. Only the Wood in the Fire is his best excuse."

"Look, he hasn't taken action since the three generals attacked. He must be searching for the Wood Fire with all his strength."

Gao Cuo suddenly had an idea: "I understand. Master Jian, do you want me to forge a Wood Fire to trick Luo Chen, let him see the hope of getting it, and indirectly pin him down?"

Master Jian smiled with relief: "You are a teachable kid. The Book of Formless Shadows that you practiced is just right for forging things like this. Hmm?"

Old Jian suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Gao Cuo asked immediately.

Elder Jian said: "Another outsider has come here, his cultivation is at least at the Nascent Soul level."

Gao Cuo: "The longer the night, the more troubles you will have! If this battle continues, it will definitely attract more monks. If the three generals' camps cannot win in one blow, the longer the war lasts, the more interference we will suffer."

Ten miles above the burning forest.

Lin Bufan hid in the clouds, overlooking the forest that was burning with raging fire.

"I have the skill of using a leaf to block my vision. I don't think Luo Chen will be able to find me."

"Well, has the main force of the Three Generals' Battalion reached here?"

"Strange, where is Ning Zhuo?"

In the center of the ten-mile burning forest, there is a sacred cedar crowned with fire.

There was a cultivator sitting cross-legged under the fir tree, it was Luo Chen.

Luo Chen closed his eyes to rest, his eyelids moved slightly, and opened a little, revealing a gleam of light.

"In the cloud, a strange Nascent Soul cultivator has arrived..."

"Humph, as it should be."

"As the war drags on, more and more people will come here smelling the scent."

"The more people watch the fight, the harder it will be for me to evacuate on my own initiative."

"Forget it. Let's kill this separated mechanical army first! At least we can gain some military merit."

"The most important thing is the fire in the wood."

"How am I supposed to evacuate gracefully without it? Huh?!"

The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, his face full of surprise: "Found it! God is really helping me!!"

How to hide a leaf? It’s very simple, just hide the leaf on a branch in the forest.

How to hide a spark? It’s very simple, just blend it into the sea of ​​fire.

Ever since the end of the first major battle, when the Shenxu Dragon King was defeated and fled, and the main forces of the two countries directly stationed on the spot, Luo Chen had already begun, with the help of the Fire Crown Divine Cedar, constantly infusing his spiritual consciousness to search for the fire in the wood.

However, the vast sea of ​​fire was too vast, and Luo Chen's consciousness could not cover all the burning forests, so he could only keep searching.

He worked very hard, but there was not even a hint of fire in the wood.

Now that he suddenly sensed the breath of Wood Fire, he was so excited that he immediately forgot about destroying Ning Zhuo's army.

Even if we attack, it will only be a small achievement and no big deal.

Only by getting the Wood Fire and bringing it back to the alliance can he realize that retreat is a good thing and not a bad thing. This is the overall situation!

Luo Chen had already weighed clearly in his mind what was more important.

Ning Zhuo naturally had no idea what was happening behind the scenes, so he was on guard throughout his march and did not encounter any obstruction from Luo Chen.

He discussed it with Sun Lingtong.

Both of them felt that the situation was strange and they needed to be more vigilant.

So much so that when they came to the big clock, they were still a little bit unbelievable.

Yan Jin's face was as gloomy as water.

He felt bitter, but couldn't express it.

After all, Luo Chen's ability to find the Wood Fire is crucial to their smooth retreat.

Under such circumstances, letting Yan Jin and Fairy Liu Yan cooperate with each other to resist the agency's army is the decision that best suits their interests.

Fairy Liuyan exerted her strength through the formation, forming a curtain of fire that covered Ning Zhuo's army.

Heavenly Forging Music Score! Yan Jin waved his palms and slammed them hard on the magic weapon-level bell.

Ding! The sound of bells resounded, quickly covering the entire mechanical army. The bodies of the mechanical puppets began to crack from the inside out.

The simple armor on their bodies was even worse than their wooden bodies and shattered and cracked directly.

First knock: Mineral Tune! Ning Zhuo's eyes lit up: "It's really the Heavenly Forging Music Score."

Yan Jin clenched his left hand into a fist and swung his right hand to hit the big bell.

The bells rang and rang, forming a series of rapid melodies.

The fragments of armor on the mechanical puppet were decomposed again by the sound of the bell and refined into countless tiny particles.

The same thing happened to the wooden bodies, which all shrank, and some of the mechanical dolls collapsed directly to the ground.

Second Ring: Golden Ring! Ning Zhuo exclaimed: "I have read about this technique in the classics and have always wanted to see it. I never thought I would be able to personally experience the magic of this technique in this way."

Yan Jin snorted coldly, and sent a message through his spiritual consciousness: "You are just a foundation-building expert, and you dare to criticize me!"

He changed his fists and palms. This time, his left hand was a palm and his right hand was a fist.

The third tremor, shaping rhythm! This time, the sound of the bell was sometimes strong and sometimes sharp, and the tone changed very quickly.

Countless mechanical puppets were transformed into various shapes on the spot under Yan Jin's will and consciousness. Some were compressed into balls, some were transformed into wooden poles, and some were directly shattered into pieces...

Yan Jin sent a telepathic message: "Young man, more than half of your troops have been reduced."

Ning Zhuo clapped his hands, and his voice spread across the battlefield: "Wonderful! Fellow Daoist Yan's weapon refining attainments are greater than ten of me combined."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Yan Jin's eyelids twitched, and he immediately used his spiritual sense to retort, "Boy, even if twenty of you come together, you will only die!"

The bell rang again.

This time, Yan Jin stretched out both hands and clapped the bronze bell with both palms, making a long and melodious sound.

Afterglow, the quenching chant! Kakakaka...

Crash, crash, crash…

A large number of mechanical puppets had become strangely shaped after experiencing the previous three bells. At this moment, they finally couldn't hold on and completely collapsed, turning into countless fragments and pieces.

Before Ning Zhuo set out, there were a total of six hundred mechanical puppets.

There were less than a hundred puppets standing next to him at this moment, which was quite desolate.

Ning Zhuo saluted Yan Jin with one hand, smiling, his eyes full of eagerness to try: "Senior Yan has great skills and techniques. My mechanical puppet is nothing special. Next, I will come and experience it myself!"

Yan Jin was surprised, and sent a telepathic thought: "Wait, you..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Ning Zhuo shout softly, then jump up into the air.

He clapped his palms and released a torrent of energy.

The water flow was huge, like a flood after the gates were opened, directly smashing the fire curtain, and then rushing towards Da Zhong and Yan Jin.

Yan Jin quickly stepped on his right foot to activate the defensive magic circle on the bell base.

The magic circle activated, forming a spherical light shield that covered Yan Jin and the big bell.

In the sky, a flame in the shape of a Vermillion Bird suddenly appeared, and it plunged into the water, causing a loud explosion.

Sixty percent of the water evaporated instantly, turning into steam all over the sky.

Then, within a few breaths, the steam was quickly dissipated by the high temperature around it.

This is Fairy Liuyan helping out!

The enemies Ning Zhuo faced were never just Yan Jin, but also Fairy Yanliu who controlled the formation.

“Come again!”

Ning Zhuo laughed out loud, not discouraged at all, and his fighting spirit became even higher.

He took a deep breath, made finger gestures with both hands, and after a few breaths, he suddenly raised both palms.

The ground quickly rose up and turned into a mound.

The earth mound condensed into two earth giants, one on the left and one on the right, stepping on the much lowered water level and attacking the bell.

Yan Jin swung his fists and palms, stimulating the sound of the bells, and attacked the two giants fiercely.

The giant moved slowly but with big steps. He rushed to the light shield despite the sound of the bell, waving his fists and hitting it continuously.

Boom boom boom.

Each blow was so powerful that it caused numerous cracks in the light shield.

Yan Jin tried his best, and the big bell swayed left and right, creating a surging sound wave, attacking against the attack.

The two giants were forged by the sound of the bell. Their arms fell off, their fists turned into mud, and their whole bodies suddenly became half their size. It turned out that they were cut in half.

In the sky, a Vermillion Bird-shaped flame took shape again and pounced towards Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo was doing two things at once, making finger gestures with his left hand while grabbing the Vermillion Bird Fire in the air with his right hand.

As he moved, a torrent of water reappeared out of thin air.

The torrent swirled in the sky and transformed into a dragon in the air.

The dragon opened its mouth wide and bit the Suzaku Fire accurately.

Boom! With an explosion, the water dragon and the fire sparrow died together.

On the other side, Ning Zhuo had completed the finger gestures with his left hand.

Ning Zhuo put his fingers together like a sword, and a golden light shot out from his index finger and middle finger.

The golden light was bright and swift as a meteor, and it hit the light shield just as Yan Jin saw it.

The light shield only lasted for half a breath before it was pierced through.

The golden light continued to shine and hit the big bell, making a small hole in it.

Yan Jin's face completely changed. He used his spiritual consciousness to question Ning Zhuo, "How is it possible to be so powerful? This doesn't match the intelligence! Have you been hiding your strength before?!"

Ning Zhuo laughed, feeling very accomplished, and imitated Sun Lingtong with his hands on his hips: "You guessed it right!"

"Senior Yan, do you think I came here alone just to take a risk?"

"Of course I am sure!"

"To tell you the truth, even if Luo Chen comes, I have the means to deal with him."

He bluffed to his heart's content.

Yan Jin learned about Ning Zhuo's intelligence, but the combat power displayed by the latter was indeed far beyond what the intelligence said.

This was not because Ning Zhuo had been restraining his strength before, but because he had made rapid progress during this period of time.

His warrior restoration technique has always been limited by his physical body, making it difficult to fully utilize it.

But through the evil use of the Fetal Breathing Spirit Boat, Ning Zhuo's physical strength has soared to a new level and is now completely different from before.

More than 500 mechanical puppets were destroyed, which not only made his combat power soar to the Jindan level, but also surpassed the previous peak by a large margin, and could be called the first-class level of the Jindan level! Yan Jin's mind also became restless along with the bell.

"calm!"

"I have Lord Luo Chen and Fairy Liu Yan to help me, so I am not fighting alone."

The next moment, Fairy Liu Yan passed through the formation and sent a message: "Master Craftsman Yan Jin, you have to hold on. The three generals' camps are moving out again and marching in my direction."

The three generals waited for a while and noticed that the bells were ringing less and the fire curtain was slowing down. Liu Er made a prompt decision and led his army forward. The obstacles along the way were reduced by more than half compared to before.

Fairy Liuyan is too busy to take care of herself.

Yan Jin quickly asked Luo Chen: "Sir, have you made any progress in hunting down Mu Zhonghuo?"

Luo Chen's face was gloomy: "The fire in the wood is extremely slippery, as if it has spirituality. I haven't succeeded yet. You hold on first!"

Yan Jin was speechless.

Ning Zhuo's eyes were bright, and the firelight and the big clock were reflected in his eyes.

He was eager to fight: "Boss, I feel like I still have some strength left. I haven't reached the limit of my physical body yet. I want to test the limit."

Sun Lingtong said with a grin, "Xiaozhuo, just play around, I'll keep an eye on the surroundings for you. If Luo Chen comes, I'll remind you."

Ning Zhuo then released three hundred mechanical puppets.

Ning Zhuo also controlled the puppets to form a light and swift wind formation.

The mechanical army moved like the wind. Ning Zhuo flew above the army and made some finger gestures. His left hand brought out the golden sword light, and his right palm pointed higher into the sky, condensing a huge meteorite.

"Senior Yan, take it!" The young man's prestige surged again, and his excited and passionate voice resounded throughout the battlefield.

Yan Jin: “…”
