Chapter 340: Blade Arts Kill God

Random Recommendation:

Although the pangolin and weasel both possess cultivation-level combat strength, neither has shown any signs of transformation.

The pangolin has thick, tough skin. Sun Lingtong unleashed his刀术 (Dao Arts), his blade flashing like fluttering butterfly wings, directly shattering the pangolin's eyeballs.

The pangolin howled in pain, curled into a ball, and rolled back into the mountain mist.

In a mere dozen breaths, Sun Lingtong had defeated two opponents and charged towards the Scorpion Lone Spearman.

The Scorpion Lone Spearman's spear technique was not bad, and he fought Sun Lingtong for five or six rounds before also being unable to hold out, allowing Sun Lingtong to close in.

Daggers raised chilling gleams, severing the scorpion's fingers, causing the long spear to clatter to the ground.

The Scorpion Lone Spearman hastily retracted his hands, rolled on the spot, and transformed back to his original form.

His scorpion tail rose high, stinging with all its might. Its speed was so great that it turned into a blur in mid-air.

Sun Lingtong sneered. The opponent's attack landed within his pair of spiritual eyes, allowing him to see it clearly. But at the critical moment, the Fox Deity suddenly cast a divine art, greatly interfering with Sun Lingtong.

Sun Lingtong was unable to dodge in time and could only barely turn his body.

The scorpion tail stung his left arm, and immediately, venom corroded it.

Sun Lingtong's left arm went limp, and he dropped his dagger. He retreated into the formation, hastily using his cultivation to suppress the venom and prevent its spread, and swallowed several pills to control his injury.

"Boss!" Ning Zhuo was filled with rage upon seeing Sun Lingtong injured.

He slapped his storage belt and released over thirty Mechanical Fire Monkeys.

These Fire Monkeys were connected by strings. Upon landing, they leaped out of the formation and pounced onto the black scorpion outside the array.

Boom, boom, boom!

A round of self-detonations blasted the black scorpion's skin open and flesh torn, even blowing off one of its scorpion claws, leaving it critically injured and near death.

The Fox Deity used the same trick again, rolling the black scorpion back with mountain mist.

Ning Zhuo sneered, urging the Mechanical Fire Monkeys to give chase.

Sun Lingtong dared not go so deep, but these Mechanical Fire Monkeys were consumables anyway, so losing them was no matter.

The Fire Monkeys charged straight in.

Suddenly, sharp gleams shot out from the mountain mist, severing the connecting strings one by one.

However, the Fire Monkeys were unaffected and continued to charge forward stubbornly, self-destructing one after another upon seeing the black scorpion.

The black scorpion turned into a ball of mountain mist during the explosion, a forged target created by the Fox Deity's divine art.

"I cut the strings, and the mountain mist seriously hinders his divine sense, so how are these mechanical monkeys still able to move?" The Fox Deity was surprised and suspicious.

Ning Zhuo released another batch of Fire Monkeys.

The Fire Monkeys moved to encircle and kill the Centipede Swordsman and Axeman, scaring the latter with a cry. He threw away his axe and moved on all fours, crawling on the ground like a centipede, quickly scuttling into the thick mountain mist to hide.

Ning Zhuo drove the Fire Monkeys, pursuing relentlessly.

The Fox Deity cut the strings and isolated Ning Zhuo's divine sense, also confirming that there was no Staff Head within the Fire Monkeys' bodies. Yet, still seeing the Fire Monkeys full of life and extraordinary agility, she couldn't help but fall into deep doubt.

Innate Talent - Cloud Shrouding Mist!

The Fox Deity activated her innate talent, immediately causing profound and unusual changes in the vast mountain mist.

"Hmm?!" Ning Zhuo was about to control the Mechanical Fire Monkeys to self-destruct when he suddenly felt the ring on his finger tighten slightly.

Ning Zhuo stopped his actions. The next moment, he saw the Mechanical Fire Monkeys rushing out of the mountain mist, crashing into the formation.

Ning Zhuo's pupils contracted slightly.

If he had been half a beat slower and let the Fire Monkeys self-destruct, it would undoubtedly have been shooting himself in the foot, causing his own formation to suffer a fierce attack.

Ning Zhuo's heart-mind moved, and he once again controlled the Mechanical Fire Monkeys, charging into the mountain mist.

But upon entering the mountain mist at this moment, the Mechanical Fire Monkeys immediately lost their direction, not knowing east, south, west, or north. They thought they were walking in a straight line, but in reality, they were circling in place.

Ning Zhuo wanted to control the Fire Monkeys to return. In his senses, it was clearly a straight line back, but the Fire Monkeys simply couldn't get out.

Ning Zhuo made a decisive decision, temporarily abandoning these Fire Monkeys. He released Mechanical Drifting Hands and cast spells.

Spells were released one after another - blazing fire, rolling stones, leaf darts, water arrows, golden needles – plunging straight into the mountain mist, and immediately disappearing without a trace, with no sound heard and no light or shadow seen.

"What a thick mist!" Ning Zhuo's attempt failed again. He immediately stopped casting spells and released a mechanical spherical ball.

It was none other than the Weather Ball - Ice Crystal Snow.

Ice Crystal Snow emitted an intense cold current, spreading into the mountain mist. Wherever it went, the mist condensed into layers of frost flowers, fluttering everywhere.

The mountain mist rapidly weakened.

The Fox Deity smiled faintly: "A bit interesting. Then I'll use thirty percent of my strength."

The next moment, the mountain mist suddenly thickened again, returning to its previous state.

Ning Zhuo sneered: "It's not over yet."

With a thought, he grabbed a ghost from his storage belt and threw it to the Weather Ball - Ice Crystal Snow.

Innate Talent - Snow Soul Ice Core!

The spirituality within the Weather Ball - Ice Crystal Snow came from Ning Xie and possessed the innate talent of Snow Soul Ice Core.

The ghost was used as fuel for the innate talent, quickly dissipating. The cold current emitted by the Weather Ball - Ice Crystal Snow became several times more biting, once again causing the mountain mist to condense into ice and continuously fall.

The Fox Deity let out a cold snort and continued to exert force.

Seeing the mountain mist about to recover, Ning Zhuo patted his belt and released a cloud.

The cloud was white with blue hues, radiating cold air. It flew in the air, with snowflakes falling along the way.

It was precisely the Cold Snow Cloud.

Ning Zhuo had purchased five traveling clouds from the cloud market, and this was one of them.

The Cold Snow Cloud enveloped the Weather Ball - Ice Crystal Snow. Although it was only of the magical artifact level, it complemented the Weather Ball - Ice Crystal Snow perfectly.

Thus, the cold current was further amplified, causing the mountain mist to continue to condense into frost flowers, slowly clearing.

"Mere Foundation Establishment level mechanical artifacts, and you think you can retreat my magical mist?" The Fox Deity's spirit was roused, and she let out a tender cry, exerting her full power.

The next moment, the mountain mist surged, rolling in.

A clap of thunder exploded, and a blue light suddenly brightened within the cloud mist.

"Hahaha, I got it!" Sun Lingtong leaped with joy, "You really took my dagger. Did you really think my little lord's things were that easy to take? Hahaha."

He had already healed himself, but his face was a little swollen.

Dao Arts - God Slayer!

He had lost his dagger within the mountain mist, and it was picked up by the Fox Deity. As a result, the latter was caught off guard and triggered a fierce explosion of the dagger by Sun Lingtong.

The Dao Art of God Slayer specializes in countering deities, complementing the Sword Art of Immortal Execution.

These two arts are extremely classic, and any cultivator practicing Dao Arts or Sword Arts longs to learn them. Unfortunately, these two arts are extremely difficult, and only those with extraordinary comprehension are likely to master them.

Clearly, Sun Lingtong was one of them.

"I definitely injured Her, sigh, this mist is really annoying." Sun Lingtong had already activated his Spiritual Eye innate talent, but the mountain mist was so thick that he could only see through three feet.

"You... have... completely... enraged... me!" The Fox Deity let out a sharp cry, losing her previous composure.

From Her reaction, it could be judged that Sun Lingtong had indeed given Her a severe blow.

Sun Lingtong's expression was solemn and he was on high alert.

Ning Zhuo, on the other hand, took out the Mechanical Sickle and held it in his hand, preparing to fight with all his might.

The mountain mist surged, covering the sky and obscuring the sun. It suddenly stopped, and from within, came a low cry from the Fox Deity: "Great Serpent Sickle?!"

The mountain mist froze.

The battlefield suddenly became quiet.

After a moment of silence, the Fox Deity said in a gentle tone: "Little Friend Ning Zhuo, so your mother even gave you the Great Serpent Sickle to protect yourself. No wonder she was relieved to let you travel outside."

Immediately, the mountain mist rapidly dispersed like a tide.

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong saw the light of day again, and were surprised to find that they were no longer in the Fox Deity Temple, but rather somewhere on the mountainside.

The mountain mist enveloped the formation and actually moved them out directly!

The Fox Deity revealed her true form and walked out of the mountain mist, suspended in the air.

She had hair like snow, cascading down to her shoulders. She wore a white robe, drifting like a banished immortal. Her posture was graceful and charming, and her fox tail behind her gently swayed, like clouds and smoke, possessing spiritual charm in every movement.

The only flaw was that a dagger was stuck in her prominent chest.

The dagger emitted blue light, like lightning, buzzing.

The Fox Deity reached out and forcefully grabbed the handle, pulling the dagger outwards. During this process, the blade light of the dagger was like electric currents, connecting to the wound and fiercely drawing the dagger, forming a huge attraction.

The Fox Deity snorted coldly, exerted force abruptly, and broke the electric blade light.

She threw the dagger back to Sun Lingtong. The dagger wound on her chest was quickly enveloped by the mountain mist and vanished.

Sun Lingtong fell silent.

Clearly, the Fox Deity possessed Golden Core level combat power. The God Slayer Dao Art was one of Sun Lingtong's strongest techniques, yet the result was minimal.

The Fox Deity looked at Ning Zhuo, her gaze lingering on the Mechanical Sickle in Ning Zhuo's hand for a moment, and a faint smile appeared on her face: "As expected of Big Sister Meng Yao Yin's child. This deity's heart was itching just now, so I made a move to test you, but I did not truly intend to trouble you two."

"Oh?" Ning Zhuo opened his mouth and spat out a Cloud Hidden Flower petal, "Does Lord Fox Deity not want this reward anymore?"

The Fox Deity's smile became a little forced: "Little郎君 (lang jun - young gentleman), you actually took it seriously. Hehehe."

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong exchanged glances. Neither of them expected that the Great Serpent Sickle would have such a significant deterrent effect on the Fox Deity.

"Since that is the case, then the two of us shall take our leave." Ning Zhuo said.

The Fox Deity nodded, her eyes eagerly watching Ning Zhuo swallow the flower petal back into his mouth. She forcefully restrained herself: "Go, go."

Watching the two gradually walk away, the Fox Deity suddenly said: "Little Friend Ning Zhuo, wait a moment."

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong immediately stopped, quickly turned around, and were on high alert.

The Fox Deity chuckled: "There's no need to panic, the deity merely wishes to inform you of a truth."

"This entire Misty Hidden Mountain, this deity has almost scoured it thoroughly. However, there is a valley on the west side of the mountain that I am powerless to enter."

"If you two still haven't found the target item, I'm afraid it is in that valley."

Ning Zhuo was instantly curious and opened his mouth to inquire further.

The Fox Deity shook her head slightly, waved her sleeve, and her entire body transformed into mountain mist, dispersing completely in place.

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong both took out their Somersault Clouds and flew directly away from the Cloud Fox Mountain God Temple.

Only after a great distance did Ning Zhuo put away the Mechanical Sickle.

He held his breath, concentrating his mind, and dispelling the irritability and killing intent in his heart.

"This Night Rain Demonic Soldier is truly wicked. Its killing intent is too strong. I haven't even used it for a real battle yet, and merely holding it for a moment affects my state of mind."

Ning Zhuo was secretly startled.

Sun Lingtong transmitted his voice, asking: "Little Zhuo, what are we doing next? Are we going to the valley on the west side? I always feel that that Fox Deity has other plans."

Ning Zhuo had the same feeling as Sun Lingtong.

A dignified Deputy Mountain God, unable to investigate a certain area within Misty Hidden Mountain - this is simply too unreasonable.

Ning Zhuo pressed for details, but the Fox Deity remained evasive, giving the impression of deliberately luring them.

But since it concerned his mother, Ning Zhuo, even knowing that he might be falling into the opponent's scheme, still had to investigate thoroughly.
