Chapter 742: Chapter 236: Long En Bao Shen_2
At this moment, the Thousand Peak Forest faction displays its own advantages. As the commander, Lord Long, in the unfavorable situation of a great defeat, stands out with strategies of wisdom and bravery, boosting morale, inspiring people, and single-handedly changing the trend of this war.
In contrast, Du Tiechuan remains hidden, with the replacement supervisor Zhao Xi already “injured and unconscious” and retreating from the front lines.
Liangzhu Country needs someone to step up!
Someone must stop Lord Long’s momentum!!
“Mere mountain barbarians, cease your arrogance!” a scolding voice rings out, Shuang Ling ascends to the sky.
In a critical moment, the Mechanical Princess of Liangzhu Country steps out once more.
Surrounded by numerous Mechanical Artifacts, she forms a Mechanical Army in the sky, employing various Mechanical Techniques to launch a frenzied bombardment on Lord Long.
“Good timing.” Lord Long laughs loudly, neither dodging nor evading, striking back fiercely, directly charging towards Shuang Ling.
Divine Arts—the Divine Power of the Dragon King!
In Shuang Ling’s Divine Sea, an umbrella immediately opens up to protect her spirit.
Martial Arts—the Dragon Roar Palm.
Divine Arts—the Divine Dragon Body!
Martial Arts—the Withered Dragon Claw.
Divine Arts—Vitality Collapse!
Lord Long counters attack with attack, charging forward, destroying all the costly Mechanical Artifacts he encounters either by smashing them or violently dismantling them.
“Can he really use Vitality Collapse again?” The collected intelligence lets Shuang Ling clearly see through Lord Long’s techniques.
This is the third Vitality Collapse.
After Lord Long unleashes it, fine cracks appear in his entire skeleton, his body swells once more as if reaching the limit, like a balloon about to burst.
Blood gushes from his seven orifices, rendering his vision a blurry blood mist.
Seeing Lord Long charging towards her, Shuang Ling immediately feels his death wish and fervent battle intent.
“He no longer cares for his life!”
Shuang Ling screams sharply and chooses to flee.
She, a princess of a country, has no need to fight to the death with a mountain barbarian to the point of exchanging lives.
At this moment, Lord Long’s combat power is infinitely close to the Transforming Spirit Level. He looks like a blood-bathed wild dragon, breaking out from the Nine Abysses, easily smashing the mechanical lines along the way. Golden Core Level mechanical war puppets stand no chance before him.
Lord Long moves at incredible speed, crashing into Shuang Ling’s back.
At the critical moment of life and death, the Treasure Talisman on Shuang Ling triggers, intending to take her through the void.
“Where do you think you’re going!!” Lord Long roars, unleashing a divine art that stabilizes a portion of the space.
Shuang Ling screams: “No—!”
If she forcibly traverses the void at this moment, her body would be torn in half. If she stops to face the enemy, she might be directly exploded by Lord Long.
With the Mechanical Princess’s life hanging by a thread, a Sword Qi suddenly pierces out!
The Sword Qi is restrained to the extreme, appearing ordinary, but once it hits Lord Long’s huge body, it immediately sinks deeply in.
Lord Long’s Divine Dragon Body has a strong defense, but it spreads the power of the Spiritual Treasure Level shoulder armor throughout the body.
However, the Sword Qi pierces through the body as easily as piercing through thin paper.
“Du Tiechuan!” Lord Long turns sharply, divine light shooting from his eyes as his voice bursts like thunder.
The double attack causes the air in front of him to explode violently, revealing a figure.
He is tall and thin, with sharply defined features and eyes like blades. Wearing a silver-threaded crown on his head and a gray-green robe covered by silver armor, he is none other than Du Tiechuan!
Lord Long mocks: “A dignified Transforming Spirit Level, dealing with me, a mere Nascent Soul, yet has to resort to a sneak attack, hahaha!”
Du Tiechuan remains expressionless, covering Lord Long with a part of his Divine Sense: “The principle of military tactics: deceit is never tiresome. How could a barbarian understand it? Your arrogance should have ended long ago.”
Du Tiechuan’s wrist rotates lightly, driving the sword’s edge, shooting out beams of green Sword Qi.
Lord Long, fearlessly, laughs wildly, directly charging towards Du Tiechuan.
Du Tiechuan keeps retreating, widening the distance between himself and Lord Long.
Though Lord Long’s combat power is infinitely close to Transforming Spirit, Du Tiechuan is no ordinary Transforming Spirit Level!
He is one of Liangzhu Country’s Upper Generals, a commander of an army. Not only is his personal strength remarkable, but also supported by Magic Treasures, armor, national martial arts, and military tactics, he embodies the country’s essence.
Lord Long can easily reach Shuang Ling and others, but chasing after Du Tiechuan is futile, only widening the gap further.
Slash, slash…
The beams of green Sword Qi continuously land on Lord Long, causing him to gain hundreds of new wounds within seconds.
Many wounds are deep to the bone, making blood flow like a torrent from Lord Long.
Although his vitality is abundant, the Sword Qi lingering on the wounds prevents his healing ability from manifesting.
Lord Long roars repeatedly, performing various martial arts and divine arts, yet they are all neutralized by Du Tiechuan.
Du Tiechuan, with his green sword as the main weapon, calmly uses various Magic Treasures, weapons, national martial arts, and military tactics, rendering Lord Long’s countless techniques useless.
On the vast battlefield, the rhythm of battle slows down for everyone.
Almost everyone closely watches the battle between Du Tiechuan and Lord Long!
Du Tiechuan exhibits the demeanor of a master of military tactics, never fighting without preparation. He secretly observed for a long time, comprehending all of Lord Long’s techniques, and designed various countermeasures.
Lord Long’s efforts are in vain; his injuries become heavier and heavier.
Initially, his vision was blood-red, now it’s overshadowed by dark clouds, and he experiences intermittent blackouts.
At the same time, a deep fatigue and sense of helplessness from his bones overwhelms him.
Lord Long has a clear premonition in an instant: “Is it… going to end here?”
In that moment, distant memories surge from deep within his heart.
In Canglin Immortal City.
A young Lord Long kneels on the ground, bitterly pleading to the doctor in the clinic: “Please, my father is gravely ill, on the verge of death. Doctor, I beg you to show mercy and save my father!”
The doctor irritably responds: “Kid, you want me to go deep into the Thousand Peak Forest for a home visit? And you can’t even afford the Spirit Stones. Are you joking?”
Lord Long hurriedly shakes his head: “No, I have Spirit Stones, I do.”
He lays out all his wealth, nearly a hundred Spirit Stones, on the ground to show the doctor.
The doctor looks down at him and sees the Spirit Stones, a furious look of being insulted surfaces on his face: “You poor thing, daring to invite me with less than a hundred Low Grade Spirit Stones for a diagnosis?”
He flicks his sleeve and walks away.
Lord Long in panic, instinctively hugged the doctor’s leg: “Master, master, please show mercy…”
Bang.
The doctor kicks him hard: “Get lost!”
With that, the doctor strides away.
Lord Long takes the blow, spits out a mouthful of blood, and faints instantly.
When he wakes, he finds himself thrown outside the city, the Spirit Stones of his wealth all lost.
Desolate, he returns to the Thousand Peak Forest, back to his tribe.
Seeing his old father, burning with fever on the sickbed, he covers his face and cries bitterly.
At this moment, a priest from the Dragon King Temple visits his home and tells Lord Long that to save his father’s life, he can go to pay homage at Dragon King Tianzhu Mountain. With sincere devotion, he may receive the Dragon King’s grace.
The young Lord Long then treks across mountains and waters, arriving at Dragon King Tianzhu Mountain. Bowing step by step, he spends seven days and nights, nearly reaching the summit, but exhausted, falls into the abyss due to strong mountain winds.
He falls onto a protruding cliff face, with no way out, still praying with bowed head.
A miracle occurs.
Vines, like snakes and dragons, weave into a ladder. The hard rock breaks open, extending a piece of ginseng whisker which falls off by itself.
Lord Long quickly picks up this ginseng whisker and descends the mountain safely via the vine ladder.
Back home, his father takes a small bite of the ginseng whisker, gaining abundant life force, cures his serious illness, and turns danger into safety.
This is the turning point in Lord Long’s life, from then on, becoming the most loyal devotee!
Memories flash through his mind, Lord Long’s spirit revived, his body full of strength again, as if back to his peak moments.
But Lord Long knows clearly, this is just a final burst of energy.
His vision clears again, allowing him to firmly lock onto Du Tiechuan.
“Liangzhu Country? Hehe.”
“I was born in Thousand Peak Forest, grew up in Thousand Peak Forest, never received any grace or charity from Liangzhu Country.”
“Only my lord, the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King, is the king and common master of Thousand Peak Forest!”
