Chapter 714: Chapter 222: The Might of the Mechanism!
The two armies confronted each other!
The sky was filled with rolling dark clouds, as if dyed with ink.
This was the remnant power from the previous battle between Lei Qingyang and the Blood Shadow Cave Master.
The battle between Li Jiuju and Mo Yechen continued.
With an order from Lord Long, nearly ten Nascent Soul Level cultivators entered the field, shouting in unison.
A female cultivator flew out from the Liangzhu Country camp.
She wore a mask, with her right arm replaced by a mechanical arm. Her long gray-white hair indicated she was not young.
She quickly ascended into the sky, her clothes fluttering in the dark clouds, her face stern. She loudly provoked, “Come at me all at once!”
Around her, a hundred mechanized fairies flew in a circle, constantly flitting, protecting her in the center.
Faced with such provocation, the nearly ten Nascent Soul cultivators from the Thousand Peak Forest Alliance hesitated and exchanged glances.
It was impossible to all rush at her together!
The art of military confrontation was to engage in single combat of equal levels, which could more effectively shake morale and spirit.
If they outnumbered the opponent and won, the impact on morale and spirit would be limited.
Conversely, if they won with fewer numbers or weaker forces, like a Golden Core defeating a Nascent Soul, the impact on morale would be much more intense and fierce.
So, even if they swarmed and defeated the Mechanical Princess, there wouldn’t be much benefit.
They all knew their side’s advantage and wouldn’t waste manpower on Shuang Ling. Thus, they couldn’t leverage the advantage of their high-level cultivators’ numbers.
After exchanging glances, they quickly communicated via divine sense.
“Cangyue Tribe, Gu Ya will take you on!” The blue-haired warrior roared, stepping forward when the others pushed him to battle Shuang Ling.
He charged through the air, wielding a giant wolf fang club, casting spells to summon hundreds of mountain wolf phantoms.
The pack of wolves fiercely clashed with the mechanized fairies, with the wolves biting and the fairies twirling their sashes to strangle them.
Soon, the wolf pack suffered heavy losses, while many mechanized fairies remained.
All eyes were on the duel between the two.
Just like how the Liangzhu Country camp’s generals feared Li Jiuju, the Thousand Peak Forest Alliance’s cultivators were wary of Shuang Ling.
Shuang Ling—the Mechanical Princess!
Her fame was no less, even stronger, than that of Li Jiuju.
She was the hallmark figure of Liangzhu Country at the Nascent Soul Level, representing the face of an entire cultivation kingdom!
In the mechanical dragon, Sun Ning and Ning Zhuo focused intensely.
Ning Zhuo, in particular, was fixated, eyes unblinking.
Despite past conflicts with Shuang Ling, as a renowned mechanism cultivator himself, Ning Zhuo maintained a humble attitude, ready to learn from her.
In the initial test, it was clear that Gu Ya was no match, quickly showing a clear disadvantage.
Shuang Ling frowned slightly, dissatisfied with this outcome.
She knew her severe disadvantage; if the enemy fully utilized their Nascent Soul cultivators’ numbers, it would heavily impact the entire battle.
Therefore, she needed to demonstrate greater power to force other cultivators to join the fight against her.
The opportunity was fleeting.
If the others believed Gu Ya could hold his ground alone and drag out the battle, they would continue to challenge, putting Liangzhu Country’s army in a dilemma.
So, in the next moment, Shuang Ling let out a cold snort and released twenty hovering crossbows.
The crossbows lined up neatly on her right side.
The dark golden runes on the quivers glowed suddenly.
“Li Fire Arrows, release!”
The bowstrings vibrated like zither strings, and within moments, each crossbow fired ten long arrows.
The arrows intertwined, forming a rain of arrows that shot into the rear of the wolf pack.
The speed was too fast; Gu Ya had just cast a defensive magic.
The wolf pack quickly perished under the arrow rain, leaving a large cleared area.
Gu Ya’s face turned ashen, barely protecting himself, as he frantically swung his wolf fang club to knock away the arrows flying at him, appearing quite beleaguered.
The continuous arrow rain forced Gu Ya to constantly retreat.
He cast defensive magic to protect himself, waving his wolf fang club, continuously summoning wolf pack phantoms.
But as many as he summoned, the wolf pack phantoms were shot down.
The mechanized fairies still surrounded Shuang Ling, not pursuing the advantage.
Gu Ya roared, his body suddenly swelling, as he summoned three Golden Core Level head wolves.
The head wolves fearlessly charged, their claws stirring the wind, their howls echoing, sharing much of the pressure from their master.
Only then did Gu Ya stabilize his footing.
Seeing this, Shuang Ling immediately released twelve Taixu Hanging Bell Guards. These bronze mechanisms had human forms, with three heads and six arms, each holding a large bell.
The bells were inverted, mouths facing upward, with intricate star maps engraved on their surfaces.
Clang, clang, clang…
Six arms continuously swung, fists and palms striking the bell surfaces, producing a series of bell sounds.
Simultaneously, indigo waves spewed from the bell mouths.
The waves, accompanied by bell sounds, swirled around.
Not only did they envelop Gu Ya, but also the other Nascent Soul Level cultivators.
Gu Ya, who had just stabilized his footing, faltered again in the bell sounds and waves, flustered.
Most cultivators, knowing Shuang Ling’s scheme, snorted coldly, unwilling to fall for it, retreating one after another.
Bi Tengyi, hot-tempered, was provoked into anger, “Mechanical Princess, if you seek death, this old lady will grant you!”
With a low roar, Bi Tengyi extended a large number of vines from her body.
Green vines spiraled in the air, forming nine vine pythons, charging at Shuang Ling.
The vine pythons sprinkled green-scaled venom wherever they went. Once they broke into the mechanized fairies’ defense line, the venom immediately infected, causing the mechanized fairies to fall from the sky like dumplings.
