Chapter 561: The power of the mechanism!
The two armies confront each other!
The sky was filled with dark clouds, like ink.
This is the remaining power from the previous battle between Lei Qingyang and the Blood Shadow Cave Master.
The battle between Li Jiuchong and Mo Yechen is still going on.
At Master Long's command, nearly ten cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage came out together and challenged each other in unison.
A female cultivator flew out from the camp of the Liangzhu Kingdom.
She was wearing a mask, and her right arm was replaced by a mechanical arm. She had long gray hair and looked not young.
She quickly rose into the air, under the dark clouds, her clothes fluttering, her face as hard as steel, and she challenged loudly: "Come on, all of you!"
Around her, hundreds of flying mechanical fairies circled around her, dancing continuously and guarding her in the center area.
Faced with such a provocation, nearly ten Nascent Soul cultivators from the Qianfenglin Alliance stopped in their tracks and stared at each other.
It’s impossible to really rush in all at once!
This is the military strategy of challenging an enemy. It is best to have a duel between enemies of the same level. Only such a result can shake the morale and military spirit.
If we use more people against fewer, even if we win, the impact on morale and military spirit will be limited.
On the other hand, if the few defeat the many, or the weak defeat the strong, such as the Golden Core defeating the Nascent Soul, the impact on morale will be more drastic and fierce.
Therefore, if these Nascent Soul cultivators really rushed forward, even if they defeated Princess Jiqiao, they would not gain much.
They all knew where their advantages were, and would not put a large number of manpower on Shuangling. In this way, they could not play the advantage of the number of high-level monks at all!
After looking at each other for a while, everyone communicated quickly through their telepathic consciousness.
"Guya from the Cang Yue tribe is here!" The blue-haired barbarian general shouted loudly and was pushed out by everyone to take the initiative to fight Shuang Ling.
He sped through the air, pulled out the wolf-tooth club behind him, and cast a spell to condense the shadows of hundreds of mountain wolves.
The mountain wolves slammed into the mechanical fairy fiercely, biting them, and the fairy waved her silk to strangle them.
Soon, the wolf pack suffered heavy losses, but the mechanical fairies survived.
Countless eyes were focused on the confrontation between the two.
Just like just now, the soldiers in the two Zhu countries' camps were afraid of Li Jiuchong, and many cultivators in the Thousand Peaks Forest Alliance were also wary of Shuang Ling.
Shuang Ling - the clever princess! Her reputation was no less than that of Li Jiuchong, and even stronger.
She is the signature figure of the two countries at the Nascent Soul level, representing the face of a country of cultivation!
In the mechanical dragon game, Sun Ning and the others were paying close attention.
Ning Zhuo was even more focused, not blinking at all.
Although Shuangling had conflicts with him and had confrontations in the past, as a famous mechanical monk, Ning Zhuo maintained a humble attitude and intended to learn from Shuangling.
In the initial test, Gu Ya was obviously no match for the opponent and immediately showed a clear disadvantage.
Shuangling frowned slightly, but was not satisfied with the outcome.
She was well aware of her side's serious disadvantage. If the enemy were to take advantage of the number of Nascent Soul cultivators, it would have a serious impact on the entire battle situation.
Therefore, she had to display greater power and force to encourage other monks to join the battle with her.
The opportunity is right in front of you.
Once others think that Gu Ya can rely on himself to engage in a war of attrition with Shuang Ling, then these people who are waiting and watching will inevitably continue to challenge him, putting the armies of the two countries in a dilemma.
So the next moment, Shuangling snorted coldly and released twenty flying crossbows.
The crossbows were lined up on her right, in an orderly and square formation.
The next moment, the dark golden seal characters on the crossbow box suddenly lit up.
"Fire Arrow, release!"
The bowstrings vibrated like the sound of a zither, and in a few breaths, each crossbow shot out ten long arrows.
The arrows intertwined, forming a rain of arrows that shot into the back half of the wolf pack.
The speed was too fast and Gu Ya had just cast a defensive spell.
The wolves were quickly annihilated by the rain of arrows, leaving a large area behind.
Gu Ya's face turned pale and he could hardly protect himself. He kept waving the mace in his hand, knocking away the many arrows shot in front of him. He looked quite embarrassed.
The rain of arrows continued and Gu Ya could only keep retreating.
He cast defensive spells to protect himself, and wielded the mace with both hands, continuously releasing phantoms of wolves.
But as many as were released, the wolf shadows would be shot dead.
The mechanical fairies still surrounded Shuangling and did not pursue her.
Gu Ya roared angrily, and his body suddenly expanded by three points, summoning three Jindan-level wolves.
The alpha wolves fought bravely, stamping their claws on the wind and howling loudly, helping their masters share a lot of the pressure.
Only then did Gu Ya regain his composure.
Shuang Ling saw this and immediately released twelve Taixu Hanging Bell Guards. These bronze machines were all in human form, with three heads and six arms, holding a large bell.
The clock was turned upside down with the mouth facing upwards, and complex star maps were engraved on the clock face.
Ding ding ding…
Six arms waved continuously, and fists and palms hit the clock face, making a series of bell sounds.
At the same time, waves of indigo air gushed out from the bell mouth.
The wind waves, along with the sound of the bell, swept around.
It not only includes Gu Ya, but also other Nascent Soul-level cultivators.
Gu Ya's position, which he had just stabilized, collapsed again in the sound of bells and the air wave, making him panic.
Most of the monks knew Shuang Ling's plan and snorted coldly. Not wanting to fall into the trap, they retreated one after another.
Doctor Biteng was a strong-willed person, and was provoked into anger: "Princess Jiqiao, you want to kill yourself, so I, an old woman, will grant your wish!"
The Green Vine Doctor growled, and large vines extended from his body.
The green vines spiraled together in the sky, forming nine vine pythons that rushed towards Shuang Ling.
Wherever the vine python moved, it sprinkled countless green scale poisons. After rushing into the defense line of the mechanical fairies, the green scale poison immediately infected them, causing the mechanical fairies to fall from the sky like dumplings.
Shuangling saw that the front line was shaken, so she took out two batches of mechanisms from the storage device.
The first batch consisted of 24 ice and fire mantises, with the thin blades on their forelimbs covered in frost on the left and red flames on the right. The mechanical mantises were extremely agile and rushed towards Gu Ya.
After joining the battle, he immediately killed Gu Ya’s three golden elixir wolves, forcing Gu Ya to retreat frantically in a critical situation.
The second batch consisted of thirty-six pieces of Xuanji armor. The armor pieces spun rapidly in front of Shuangling, like a fan, creating a huge suction force.
The next moment, almost all of the green scale poison was absorbed into the nail scales, dyeing them a green color.
The armor plates quickly combined to form a giant shield. The tortoise shell pattern on the shield glowed silver.
Mechanical Technique - Black Turtle Skylight Shield Return! The next moment, a huge beam of light shot out from the shield, bringing with it all the condensed green scale poison.
The beam of light was so powerful that it directly cut off a vine python and aimed at the Green Vine Doctor.
Doctor Bi Teng's expression changed drastically. He screamed, took out his magic rattan staff, and waved it vigorously in front of him.
The next moment, a huge man-eating flower grew wildly from the tip of the cane.
The flower's mouth opened wide, like a giant beast, just enough to swallow the entire beam of light.
After swallowing, the body of the man-eating demon flower expanded more than ten times, and the purple-red body began to turn green all over as it struggled to digest this shocking blow.
The assembled giant shield returned to its normal appearance, then decomposed again, turning into armor plates, guarding Shuang Ling.
Shuangling stretched out her mechanical right arm, and twelve mechanical copper balls engraved with thunder patterns ejected from her arm.
The copper ball flew rapidly, surrounded by electric light, which intertwined in the air to form an electric grid.
Mechanical engineering - the electric grid is in chaos!
The electric net covered Doctor Biteng.
Doctor Biteng used various spells continuously, and all of them hit the electric grid, but were eliminated by it.
Doctor Biteng retreated in embarrassment, not daring to confront him.
"As expected of a country's Nascent Soul leader, his methods are extraordinary!" Gao Cuo sighed in his heart upon seeing this.
An old voice sounded in his heart: "The prospects of this great battle are unclear. The Shenxu Dragon King has not confirmed his participation in the battle, but we are besieging the enemy's front-line camp. You should know that Du Tiechuan is recuperating in this camp."
"Gao Cuo, this is not a place to stay for long."
"You need to evacuate here. Now is a good opportunity!"
Gao Cuo nodded: "Master Jian's words make sense. I'll do it."
His expression straightened up, he made up his mind, stepped forward and took the initiative to greet Shuang Ling: "Princess Jiqiao, I am Gaocuo, and I am here to learn from your skills!"
When Shuang Ling saw the third Nascent Soul cultivator attacking, she was not surprised but happy. This proved that she posed enough threat to make Qianfeng Lin's side unable to hold back.
Gao Cuo's body flashed, and he split into hundreds of phantom bodies, which suddenly dispersed and attacked Shuang Ling from all directions.
The phantom body performed all kinds of magic, some real, some fake, some strong, some weak.
For a moment, the battlefield was filled with colorful sounds and lights, extremely gorgeous and colorful.
This scene made Lin Bufan, who was watching the battle in a secret corner, look slightly moved. He felt as if he had seen it before, but he couldn't confirm it.
Shuangling's face darkened.
Because this illusion was quite troublesome, she tried three methods in a row but still failed to see through it.
If she couldn't see through it, she would have to defend herself completely, which would greatly increase her consumption.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Master Jian immediately warned: "Gao Cuo, save some strength!"
Gao Cuo immediately and secretly restrained his strength.
Shuang Ling was refreshed, and finally found a way to see through the illusion. She shouted and took out a mechanism.
The mechanism is like a celestial sphere, called an astronomical dial, which emits the light of stars and illuminates the surroundings. All false illusions are quickly eliminated in the starlight.
In an instant, the gorgeous spell bombardment in the field disappeared, leaving only two or three isolated spells, which were the real offensive.
Shuangling took a deep breath, stared at Gao Cuo's body, and released seven North Star Swordsmen.
Seven traction threads shot out from her right arm, and the threads shot out at lightning speed and connected to the puppet's body precisely.
Under the control of the silk threads, the North Star Swordsmen immediately formed the Big Dipper formation and charged towards Gao Cuo.
Gao Cuo fought with him, but was quickly defeated and covered in blood.
When the Demon Heart Cave Lord saw that he was in a critical situation, he immediately took action and joined the battlefield.
Gao Cuo gritted his teeth, and at the critical moment, he activated the Escape Talisman, traveled through the void, blood spilled in the air, and evacuated the battlefield.
The Demon Heart Cave Master cursed and had no choice but to take his place and fight against the siege of the North Star Swordsman.
The Lord of the Demon Heart Cave is much more powerful than Gao Cuo. He mobilizes his magic power and activates all kinds of magic to attack with his mighty power.
He would rather suffer sword wounds than eliminate most of the seven North Star Swordsmen.
Seeing this, the clever princess smiled slightly and immediately replenished as many swordsmen as were lost.
Seeing that the Lord of the Demon Heart Cave was eager to fight and his attack was fierce, she directly threw out the mechanical star dial.
The stardial hangs high in the sky, scattering starlight onto the North Star Swordsman's robot, causing its combat power to soar, its speed to increase greatly, and its sword edge to become sharper.
The combat power of the seven robots surged together, causing the Demon Heart Cave Lord to feel greatly pressured, and he was suddenly put at a disadvantage.
"As expected of a clever princess!"
"I fought one against four, and I have already defeated Gao Cuo. It is unknown whether he is alive or dead."
Many monks watching the battle turned their attention to Shuang Ling.
The princess of the two countries showed such strong fighting ability that people had to take her seriously.
Seeing that she could suppress three cultivators by herself, the Qianfenglin coalition had to send more Nascent Souls to besiege Shuang Ling.
One, two, three! Six Nascent Soul level cultivators fought against Shuang Ling together.
Shuang Ling single-handedly took on six times as many enemy soldiers, relieving a considerable amount of pressure on the armies of the two countries.
Zhao Xi breathed a sigh of relief and calmly sent out his Nascent Soul cultivators to deal with the other enemy cultivators who were challenging him.
For a while, six or seven battle groups were formed in the central area where the two armies were confronting each other, fighting each other.
Li Jiuchong gained the upper hand, and Mo Yechen held on with difficulty.
The clever Princess Shuang Ling overwhelmed six Nascent Soul cultivators, while her own line remained unmoved.
The other several battle groups fought one-on-one, each with its own exciting moments.
The soldiers on both sides were dazzled.
As they watched the dragon's mechanism play, Sun Ning and the other man also felt overwhelmed.
This kind of battle between Yuanying level people opened their eyes and feasted their eyes. Normally, it was hard to see Yuanying fighting. But now, not only could they see it, but they couldn't see it all! For them, just watching the battle was a rare opportunity, which allowed them to see the demeanor of a higher level, clarify their own direction, and judge the pros and cons more accurately.
Ning Zhuo's eyes sparkled, and he said in amazement: "So strong, really so strong!"
“Is this the demeanor of a mechanical monk?”
"One against many, so easily. I can see that Shuangling still has some strength left!"
Sun Lingtong analyzed: "Although mechanical engineering is the last of the hundred arts, it is only because it requires too much and the standards are too high to get started, master, and achieve perfection."
"After it is truly cultivated, the combat power will be beyond expectations!"
"A mechanical monk is an army of one person. People like Shuangling are not only using mechanical skills, but also military skills, relying on military force, so they gain more leverage and become more powerful."
When ordinary cultivators fight alone, they can only exert their own combat power, or the leverage ratio is not high.
But it is different for mechanical cultivators. The cost of mechanical creations is high, and they contain the skills of refining equipment, refining elixirs, setting up formations, making talismans, and so on. The creation itself makes full use of resources and leverages a lot of combat power.
Mechanical monks can also do a lot of work on these mechanical creations, using mechanical techniques, military tactics, and so on.
Leveraging on top of leverage is not just a simple addition, but a multiple increase!
Fighter plane!
Shuangling suddenly exerted force, and the mantis exploded, forming a deadly attack.
Gu Ya's face was filled with fear. He was already seriously injured and was about to die in battle.
Seeing this, Doctor Bi Teng did not hold back and used his trump card! Mystical power - the Ten Thousand Withered Green Phosphorus Curse!
The emerald green phosphorous fire was sparse but extremely powerful. Wherever it went, mechanical creations were destroyed and turned into more phosphorous fire.
The shadow of a skull appeared in the phosphorescent fire, and murderous intent and death were madly spreading.
The defense line surrounding Shuangling collapsed immediately, threatening her life.
The alliance was greatly encouraged. This was the first offensive that truly threatened Shuang Ling since the battle!
Shuangling laughed: "Come on!"
Supernatural power——Golden Fire Purifying Wheel!
Three hundred and sixty specially made Pure World Lotus Platforms were released in an instant.
The bronze lotus pedestal is lifelike, with the lotus petals engraved with the chapter on exorcising evil spirits from the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, and the center of the lotus pedestal inlaid with Kunlun cold jade beads.
The next moment, a bluish-white flame spurted out from the bottom of the lotus platform, and three thousand six hundred golden needles of heavenly medicine shot out from the holes in the lotus platform.
The mixture of flames and golden needles flew around, instantly dispersing the phosphorus fire, and then they pursued the enemy, killing Doctor Bi Teng, causing him to scream miserably and die on the spot.
