Chapter 1518: Chapter 624: Ning Zhuo, You Are Bound to Lose! (Part 2)
"Restraint is there," Wen Suzhen stared at the slight scorch marks on the Flowing Gold Guest’s body, "but it has been subdued by the medicinal power."
Lei Wangyue’s tense jaw finally relaxed a bit: "That’s right, this is what we wanted to see!"
In the arena, the Flowing Gold Guest’s offensive became even more fierce.
He swallowed a Golden Marrow Life-extending Pill. The elixir pill transformed into a thick golden liquid in his abdomen, spreading through the meridians, filling the depths of the bones and repairing the vital roots. He bit through another Iron Bone Stiffening Pill, and the medicinal power sunk into the bones, causing a succession of low booms between bone joints; every bone was temporarily shaped into iron bones by the medicinal power.
The Flowing Gold Guest’s weight surged, his stamina skyrocketed, his strength magnified several times, as if he had transformed from a lancer to a heavy armor infantry.
The Chaotic String Split Sound Fork smashed into the Humbleheart Broken-Blade Guard, causing the guard to retreat half a step, while the Flowing Gold Guest affected by the counterattack only stepped back an inch.
Next moment, the mechanical bird group swooped from all directions, engulfing the Flowing Gold Guest.
The Golden Cage Bird exploded into Twisted Silk Bamboo, wrapping around his arms, but was forcibly torn apart by him. The Holding Festival Pheasant dashed along the ground, attempting to destabilize his stance, but his footing remained as steady as a mountain; even though the Holding Festival Pheasant continuously detonated, it only made the Flowing Gold Guest’s body shake a few times.
The majority of attacks were blocked by his golden armor. Even when some attacks broke through the armor to pierce his skin, the golden mesh robe hidden underneath deflected them all.
The defense system perfectly withstood the mechanical bird group’s attack.
Around his body, countless golden needles sprayed from his acupoints, while sound waves from the Sound Fork in his hand continually cleared away the mechanical bird group.
"The Flowing Gold Guest is like a reborn person," Lin Jinglong murmured.
Shen Xi watched as Ning Zhuo activated the first magic pool, his hand paused in its movement over the jade pendant: "Ning Zhuo is starting to replenish mana."
The Five-Colored Magic Pool lit up.
The central earth yellow stabilized the Qi Sea first, followed by wood, fire, gold, and water, flowing back in sequence. The Five Elements Mana poured into Ning Zhuo’s meridians, slightly replenishing the deficits caused by the concurrent operation of mechanisms, guards, fire techniques, and piano sound.
The Flowing Gold Guest saw it and snorted coldly, the Golden Blood Pill Pearl in his chest rotated, dispersing one directly.
Golden mist surged from his body, essence blood, mana, injuries, physical fatigue, all replenished simultaneously! The scorch marks recently burned by flames quickly fell off, revealing new golden skin. The golden blood light on the Split Sound Fork intensified, even the Swallowing Gold Divine Domain expanded outward half a step.
Ning Zhuo’s replenishment was like a gentle stream.
The Flowing Gold Guest’s replenishment was like a waterfall pouring forth!
Comparison revealed the difference immediately.
The cultivators at Flowing Cloud Peak understood the situation, many wore smug smiles, anticipating Ning Zhuo’s "performance."
The Flowing Gold Guest made steady aggressive advances, forcing the Humbleheart Broken-Blade Guard to retreat step by step, unable to be halted by the mechanical bird group, until he came within a dozen yards of Ning Zhuo.
The Flowing Gold Guest took out a Blood Body Talisman.
The crimson talisman paper was like leather, and the surface’s veins lightly pulsated like blood vessels.
He slapped it onto his chest, forcibly extracting half of his essence blood instantly by the talisman!
The blood light emerged from his body, condensing beside him into a red gold blood shadow. Initially, the blood shadow’s features were vague, but soon its eyebrows, figure, and aura formed one by one, almost identical to the Flowing Gold Guest himself.
The Flowing Gold Guest’s face instantly paled, his lips dry, and his previously firm body showed an instant of weakness.
But the next moment, a Golden Blood Pill Pearl dispersed, the replenishment surged up, causing his chest and abdomen to swell again, the golden light in his eyes briefly dimming then recovering brightly!
"Ning Zhuo, come and block me!" The Flowing Gold Guest roared, the blood body and the original body simultaneously charged at Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo’s fingers moved fast enough to create blurry shadows, with a sudden surge of piano sound.
Mechanical flying birds continuously entered the fray, bolstering the battlefield. The frenzy of zither sound like a violent storm, controlled the mechanical bird group to raise a sudden overwhelming assault, covering like a tidal wave.
The two Flowing Gold Guests surged upstream, with a shocking attack!
Ning Zhuo manipulated the Luoshu Book Pages, laboriously searching for the Blood Talisman Body’s weakness.
The consumption of Divine Sense at this moment reached its peak.
Ning Zhuo was playing the ancient zither, controlling the Green Forest Python Chariot, commanding a large number of mechanical birds, managing the Humbleheart Broken-Blade Guard, and overseeing the Five Elements Magic Pool’s replenishment of Qi Sea.
Ning Zhuo felt a continuous subtle aching sensation from his brow. The foundation of his Divine Sense at Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage was feeling somewhat stretched.
"Ning Zhuo, taste my fork!" The original Flowing Gold Guest roared angrily, charging to Ning Zhuo’s face, and the Chaotic String Split Sound Fork in his hand ferociously smashed down.
The Blood Talisman Clone clung fiercely to the Humbleheart Broken-Blade Guard.
Ning Zhuo sighed slightly, his Divine Sense activating the Golden Light Necklace and Green-White Jade Ring, allowing golden halos and blue-white light curtains to unfold layer upon layer.
Clang!
The crackling sound struck the light curtain, causing the Golden Light Necklace to tremble abruptly.
The Flowing Gold Guest’s Blood Body temporarily forced back the Humbleheart Broken-Blade Guard, closing in from another side, swinging his fist towards Ning Zhuo’s shoulder.
The Mechanical Bird Group swooped in to block, but the Blood Body didn’t evade or retreat, allowing several Sleeve Stabbing Kites to tear open its chest and belly, yet the punch still landed on Ning Zhuo’s light curtain.
Ning Zhuo didn’t have the time to parry, could only endure the blow, then managed to free up one hand from the Ancient Zither, wielding the Hundred-Segment Langgan Whip, whipping at the Blood Talisman Body.
At the same time, he urgently retreated with the Green Forest Python Chariot.
The Flowing Gold Guest and his Blood Talisman Clone struck Ning Zhuo fiercely several times, dimming the light curtain of the large-headed youth, leaving the Green Forest Python Chariot’s body in ruins. Only after many mechanical flying birds were damaged did Ning Zhuo manage to temporarily escape, creating distance again.
"Hahaha, hahahaha!" The Flowing Gold Guest laughed up at the sky.
This laughter released all the repression in his heart.
Exhilarating, truly exhilarating!
Since the confrontation with Ning Zhuo began, it was the first time the Flowing Gold Guest saw Ning Zhuo in such a sorry state.
At this moment, the Flowing Gold Guest’s fear of Ning Zhuo had completely dissipated. All insecurities vanished, leaving only the desire for victory!
Ning Zhuo sat on the Green Forest Python Chariot, seizing time to rest and recuperate.
He activated the second Magic Pool.
Five-colored Spirit Lights flowed back once more, his meridians swollen from being flushed with Mana.
Ning Zhuo’s face turned paler, but his gaze remained steady.
He did not hastily counterattack, but instead gathered the remaining mechanical birds in the field, commanding the residual group to disperse around for skirmishing.
The skirmishing strategy obviously couldn’t block the Flowing Gold Guest.
The Flowing Gold Guest and his Blood Talisman Clone once again rushed before Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo immediately employed the Mysterious Armor!
The four Golden Core Level Mysterious Armors, blade, sword, axe, hook, flew out first: the blade light was heavy, the sword light chilly, the axe light fierce, the hook light delicate. Following those, the Old Cold Leg, spear, shield, gloves, and other old Mysterious Armors also appeared one after another; repairs were already completed on the second war’s battle damages. They quickly fell in place under Ning Zhuo’s Mana guidance.
Defensive Wheel Slash Formation!
In the spectator seats, many cultivators sat up straight instinctively upon seeing this.
In the last battle, the Flowing Gold Guest was defeated by this battle formation. This formation swings between attack and defense, defending oneself first before slashing the opponent, able to reverse the fierce attack momentum of the opponent into a killing blade. During the second battle, the Flowing Gold Guest was forced to sever his own head by this formation; it’s still a scene repeatedly broadcasted in many Transmission Shadow Jade Scrolls.
"Come!" The Flowing Gold Guest roared as he charged into the formation.
The Sword Armor first slashed the shoulder and neck, the Sword Armor stabbed towards the heart, the Axe Armor pressed against the waist and abdomen, the Hook Armor entwined the knee bend. The four pieces of Golden Core Level Mysterious Armor cooperated flawlessly, their sharpness like a wheel, intertwining cold light into a swirl.
The Flowing Gold Guest was instantly slashed with multiple wounds, Golden Blood splashed, dripping onto the cloud stones, turning into spots of red-gold stains.
The golden mesh robe lit.
The blue-gold silk thread under the skin suddenly pulled tight, as if numerous tiny Golden Threads were manipulating the flesh.
Next, as the blade edge penetrated half an inch into the flesh, it was slanted aside by the golden mesh. The sword tip aimed for the heart but strayed three points, sliding past the ribs. The axe blade cut the back, splitting flesh but failing to break the bone. The hook caught the knee bend, the golden mesh pulled tight, nudging the hook blade to the side.
The Flowing Gold Guest was battered and bleeding by the Defensive Wheel Slash Formation, yet he cared not.
At this moment, his fighting spirit soared to the skies, burning like an unquenchable flame!
Swallowing Gold Divine Domain!
The Flowing Gold Guest fully mobilized the Divine Pattern on his chest, letting the Divine Domain exert its strongest power.
The fierce sharpness of the Mysterious Armor immediately dimmed visibly.
The golden light stretched into thin threads from the blade edge, the Sword Armor’s back emitted a weak tremor, the heavy spirit light at the Axe Armor’s outline raised gray-black spots, and the Hook Armor’s spin slowed slightly.
The Flowing Gold Guest roared with pride, "Ning Zhuo, your battle formation won’t hold much longer! In today’s battle, you will undoubtedly lose!"
