Random Recommendation:

Zhu Xuanji strode forward continuously, each step immense, bringing him before Ning Zhuo in just a few strides.

Ning Zhuo had already retreated rapidly, his speed far inferior to Zhu Xuanji’s.

Zhu Xuanji extended his palm, high above, and slapped downwards.

In an instant, Ning Zhuo’s breath caught in his throat. Zhu Xuanji’s offensive was ferocious, as if a celestial being had descended, his hand covering the sky and blotting out the sun!

In this critical moment, Ning Zhuo slapped his storage belt.

A giant ape suddenly appeared, using its chest to block Zhu Xuanji’s fleshy palm.

This mechanical ape was precisely the Golden Core-level mechanical ape that Ning Zhuo had orchestrated and refined by borrowing power. At the beginning of the second round of the palace examination, Ning Zhuo had even generously lent it to Ning Jiufan.

Although this mechanical ape was also suppressed at the Foundation Establishment stage, Ning Zhuo had heavily invested materials in it, making it extremely robust and truly thick-skinned and tough-fleshed.

Ning Zhuo controlled the mechanical ape to engage Zhu Xuanji in combat.

After a few rounds, Zhu Xuanji suddenly employed the Golden Mountain Stance, releasing a portion of golden mystic light that directly pressed down on the mechanical ape, making its steps difficult.

Zhu Xuanji bypassed the mechanical ape and lunged towards its controller, Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo quickly took out a silver-gray token and threw it out.

The front of the token had the character “Cang,” and the back had the character “Han.” In the air, it rapidly disintegrated, extended, and expanded, shooting out dazzling silver-gray beams.

As the beams dissipated, the mechanical armor, the Azure Iron Han Armor, quietly floated in mid-air.

Ning Zhuo retreated backward, and the Azure Iron Han Armor instantly opened up, enveloping him.

The Foundation Establishment Pill hidden in his spine, full and round, rapidly activated.

In an instant, Ning Zhuo possessed Foundation Establishment-level combat power, and his speed surged.

Zhu Xuanji’s attack thus missed its mark.

Failing to land a blow, he stood still, his gaze calm: “Indeed, you are the ‘Child with Tassels’ guest.”

Saying this, he raised a single palm, his palm facing the rapidly retreating Ning Zhuo.

Martial Art – Sundering Void!

An invisible palm force suddenly erupted, instantly striking Ning Zhuo’s body.

Iron Clothes Chill!

At the crucial moment, Ning Zhuo frantically activated the defensive formation of the Azure Iron Han Armor, raising its power to its full ten-tenths.

This unleashed a mechanical art, with chilling energy overflowing and metal affinity solidifying.

Even so, he was still heavily sent flying by the incredibly powerful palm force.

Ning Zhuo crashed into the wall, his entire back embedded within the wall.

Ning Zhuo was shaken, almost spitting blood, dizzy and with ringing ears. The mechanical ring on his finger suddenly tightened, jolting him awake.

Mechanical Art – Wind and Thunder Move!

Spirit stones were frantically consumed, transforming into vast spiritual power poured into two palm-sized, intricately patterned wind and thunder talismans.

The talismans each erupted with wind and thunder power, interweaving and merging along the internal formations of the Azure Iron Han Armor, forming emerald-green electric light swirling around the armor.

The next moment, the invisible palm force returned!

Ning Zhuo controlled the Azure Iron Han Armor and shot away like lightning, leaving only a few wisps of emerald-green electric light in place.

The palm force heavily covered down, completely extinguishing the emerald-green electric light, leaving a large palm print four feet square on the wall.

Sun Lingtong urgently transmitted a message: “Ah Zhuo, be careful! Both the Golden Mountain Stance and the Jade Pillar Stance provide comprehensive enhancements to cultivators.”

Ning Zhuo had already sensed how formidable Zhu Xuanji was!

Although he was restricted by the limitations of the Secret Pavilion of Opportunities, and his cultivation was suppressed at the Foundation Establishment level, divine abilities themselves could allow for cross-level combat.

Ning Zhuo’s previous sneak attack had triggered Zhu Xuanji’s powerful state, enhanced by three divine abilities.

Mother Butterfly needed to exert her full strength to unleash quasi-Golden Core level attacks. Yet every one of Zhu Xuanji’s attacks surpassed the normal Foundation Establishment level, reaching the quasi-Golden Core stage!

“Let’s attack him together!” Ning Zhuo low-roared.

Mechanical Art – Azure Dragon Grappling Void!

The armor plates on the back, shoulder blades, and elbows and wrists of the Azure Iron Han Armor flipped outward, revealing the hidden explosive talismans.

The next moment, all sorts of talismans fully ignited, emitting brilliant white light, fully assisting Ning Zhuo’s movements.

Ning Zhuo was like a silver dragon, breaking through the void.

He circled around Zhu Xuanji, engaging in medium-range entanglement.

Ning Zhuo’s attacks landed on Zhu Xuanji, causing the golden mountain mystic light to vibrate, and the golden branches and jade leaves on the mountain to constantly crackle, unable to harm Zhu Xuanji in the slightest.

In contrast, he always dodged, only occasionally parrying.

Zhu Xuanji’s attacks were powerful and heavy, and soon, the Azure Iron Han Armor couldn’t hold on, with cracks appearing everywhere.

This was already the strongest state of the Azure Iron Han Armor, but it could only barely maintain itself.

The mechanical ring activated frequently, allowing Ning Zhuo to evade multiple attacks.

The Netherworld Envoy, Qi Bai, put away the ghosts, leaned forward, and opened its mouth to emit a beam of sound waves.

In its throat, there was a mechanical component, the Soul Shaking Throat Drum, whose sound could shake the soul. However, when it landed on Zhu Xuanji, it only caused his golden branches and jade leaves tree to sway a little more.

Seeing this, Ning Zhuo’s pupils constricted slightly, realizing that the three divine abilities were closely connected, leading to Zhu Xuanji’s defense being despairingly thick.

“The connection between the three divine abilities must be broken!”

Ning Zhuo saw through the key to the battle, but how to do it, he couldn’t think of any way for now.

Sun Lingtong dared not engage in close combat, using saber techniques for long-range attacks.

The Golden Core mechanical ape and Ning Zhuo cooperated tacitly, but were beaten back by Zhu Xuanji repeatedly.

Mother Butterfly watched from the side, anxious and wanting to intervene, but fearing harming her own people.

Yang Chanyu stopped shooting poisonous arrows: “Our cooperation is not tacit, seriously lacking practice, and our combined strength is very poor.”

She silently concealed her figure, having made a certain decision.

Old Cicada Technique!

Autumn Cicada’s Last Call!!

The tragic cry of an autumn cicada suddenly sounded, and Yang Chanyu abruptly appeared behind Zhu Xuanji.

She held the Soul-Stealing Gleaming Saber, piercing through the golden mountain mystic light, and breaking through the jade skin. She wanted to continue stabbing, but her blade was grabbed by Zhu Xuanji.

Zhu Xuanji looked down at Yang Chanyu: “To be able to draw blood from me in this state, Yang Chanyu, you have enough to be proud of.”

A strong warning flared in Yang Chanyu’s heart, and without hesitation, she abandoned her saber and retreated rapidly!

Zhu Xuanji’s left eye shot out golden light.

Innate Talent – Golden Eyes.

Spell – Needlefelt.

Innate Talent Casting – Golden Eye芒 Needle.

In an instant, Yang Chanyu was enveloped in a layer of golden halo.

Within the halo, golden light condensed into needles, hundreds and thousands of golden needles shot out!

Striking Yang Chanyu all over her body!

Yang Chanyu cried out in pain, stirred up her magic power, activated her defensive artifact, and fully supported herself.

But as long as she did not leave Zhu Xuanji’s line of sight, she would constantly suffer the violent shooting of hundreds of thousands of golden needles.

Yang Chanyu wanted to perform an invisibility technique.

Zhu Xuanji extended a finger.

Official Technique – Lock Nation!

Golden light chains immediately condensed on Yang Chanyu’s body, binding her tightly.

Zhu Xuanji’s fingers continuously pointed.

Sun Lingtong, the Netherworld Envoy Qi Bai, and the Golden Core mechanical ape were all hit one after another, bound in place, struggling desperately.

Only Ning Zhuo, relying on the mechanical ring’s warning, escaped in advance.

“This is the Southern Bean Nation.”

“The official technique displayed by Zhu Xuanji is powerful and difficult to resist!”

“What should be done?”

Ning Zhuo dodged the official technique Lock Nation, but exposed himself to Zhu Xuanji’s sight, and a layer of halo covered his entire body.

Countless fine light needles were constantly piercing his body.

Ning Zhuo inwardly cried out in alarm, only able to defend with all his might. The Azure Iron Han Armor rapidly deteriorated, with dense needle holes appearing on the armor surface, becoming more and more numerous!

Everyone was struggling to cope, and Zhu Xuanji attacked again!

Martial Art – Separating Mountain.

He reached out and struck the chest and abdomen of the mechanical ape. The strong force, through the heavy armor on the chest and abdomen, struck the ice sculpture mechanical structure inside the ape.

With a muffled sound, the delicate and intricate ice sculpture mechanical structure, under this blow, completely turned into dust.

The Golden Core mechanical ape’s power was greatly damaged, and its combat power plummeted to the bottom, almost paralyzed in place.

Zhu Xuanji then killed his way to the Netherworld Envoy Qi Bai, chopping down his palm like a knife, directly splitting the latter from shoulder to waist, into two halves.

He rushed towards Mother Butterfly.

Mother Butterfly’s face turned pale, and she screamed!

A layer of her butterfly wings erupted with power, forming countless winding light rays, interwoven with fragmented light and shadow.

Light and shadow intersected and rapidly expanded.

Zhu Xuanji rushed in, clearly going in a straight line, but turned in the light and shadow, bypassing Mother Butterfly.

“It’s actually the Curved Light Weaving Shadow Formation!” Zhu Xuanji was surprised, and at the same time, he felt it was troublesome.

He temporarily abandoned Mother Butterfly and killed his way to Yang Chanyu.

Yang Chanyu had to defend against the golden needles and could not deal with Zhu Xuanji. She was swept by his legs and feet, seriously injured and spitting blood, triggering a mechanism, and was instantly swallowed by a light ring that appeared out of thin air, sending her out of the Secret Pavilion of Opportunities.

Zhu Xuanji then killed his way towards Sun Lingtong.

“Boss, quick, go!” Ning Zhuo lunged over at the critical moment, pushing Sun Lingtong away.

Sun Lingtong crashed to the ground, looked up, and saw the doorway close at hand.

“Quick, go!” Ning Zhuo’s voice came again.

Sun Lingtong turned her head and saw Ning Zhuo being hit by Zhu Xuanji’s heavy punch, with most of his Azure Iron Han Armor shattered, fragments flying in the wind.

But Ning Zhuo also used the force of the heavy punch to fly backward, drilling into Mother Butterfly’s Curved Light Weaving Shadow Formation, and disappearing from Zhu Xuanji’s sight.

Covered by light and shadow, Ning Zhuo was no longer shrouded by a halo, and the crisis of golden needles shooting at him was gone.

But the next moment, a golden light pierced through the light and shadow, like a sharp sword, stabbing through Ning Zhuo’s abdomen!

Ning Zhuo quickly fled.

Light and shadow were like weaving, interweaving into a strange world of black and white.

From time to time, golden swords would pierce through, each time aiming at Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo was very clear in his heart that this was because he already had tracking and monitoring methods from Zhu Xuanji on him.

In just over a dozen breaths, Ning Zhuo was already covered in blood.

“Little Zhuo!” Sun Lingtong gritted her teeth, but did not participate in the battle. Instead, she rolled over, pushed open the door, closed it, and immediately ran to another doorway.

Seeing this, Zhu Xuanji snorted in disdain: “Ning Zhuo, look, this is the righteousness of a villain!”

“Your defeat is set, there is no need to struggle further. Voluntarily surrender and go out. Afterwards, reflect carefully, turn yourself in, and strive for lenient treatment!”

Black and white light and shadow filled the entire secret pavilion, and the light and shadow constantly overlapped, making Zhu Xuanji’s sense of Ning Zhuo more and more hazy.

His persuasion to surrender received no response from Ning Zhuo. Just as he was hesitating whether to enter the formation to kill, he suddenly lost his sense of Ning Zhuo.

The next moment, he heard a message notification.

“Ning Jiufan battled Zheng Shuangou, Meng Chong, and the Meng family Golden Core cultivator. Ning Jiufan was defeated and eliminated, Zheng Shuangou was defeated and eliminated!”

Zhu Xuanji immediately frowned deeply.

The next moment, he received a second message.

“Zhu Xuanji battled the Entry Standard, Yang Chanyu, and Ning Zhuo. Yang Chanyu was defeated and eliminated, Ning Zhuo conceded and was eliminated.”

Zhu Xuanji’s brows slowly relaxed. After taking one last look at the Curved Light Weaving Shadow Formation, he turned and left.
